Chapter 14: The Three Snow Leopards (Part II)

Cheng Mo turned his head and saw two beautiful little cats coming out of the low water cypress bushes in the south, playing with each other on the grass. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hearing Cheng Lin's scream, they raised their heads and stared at the two of them curiously with a pair of big watery eyes.

Cheng Lin turned around and took out a few ham sausages from the trunk, tore off the wrapping paper, and said, "Little kitten, come and eat." ”

I don't know if it was because I was hungry or smelled the smell of ham sausage, the two little flower cats actually ran over and ate ham sausage with their heads down.

"It's so cute," Cheng Lin touched their heads as he fed them ham sausages.

The kitten?

"Little sister, it's not good, they're not kittens, they're snow leopards. ”

After Cheng Mo said a word, he looked around with vigilant eyes, but did not see the female leopard.

Cheng Mo didn't know much about this animal, so he took out his mobile phone to search for its information. First looked at the signal strength, here the signal is actually full, Cheng Mo couldn't help but say in his heart, the rest is not easy to say, but in terms of unified scheduling ability and infrastructure capacity, Huaguo should be the first in the world.

Cheng Mo opened the Internet and searched for a while, this is an endangered animal living in the plateau area, solitary, nocturnal, mostly hunting at dusk and early morning, and can maintain a week without eating after being full. In cases of extreme hunger, they will also eat some plants or attack the herdsmen's flocks. But unlike other animals, the snow leopard only hunts one sheep at a time and does not bite other sheep to death indiscriminately.

When the cubs reach three or four months, their mothers will teach them to hunt, and when they reach 18 to 22 months, they will automatically leave their mothers and live independently. Once living independently, they will leave their homeland and travel long distances in search of new habitats, helping to reduce the occurrence of inbreeding.

However, because the cubs are too naughty and the mothers sleep more often during the day, the leopard cubs are often separated from their mothers, so that some herders occasionally pick up the young cubs of the snow leopard.

"Brother, are they leopards? ”

"Little sister, felines are very cute when they are young," Cheng Mo replied, continued to search, and saw a message, because of its withdrawn nature, snow leopards are not close to humans, once the cubs are contaminated with the smell of humans, often the mother leopard will bite them to death, or discard them.

"Ah, what should I do?" Cheng Lin looked at the phone screen and asked blankly, she had touched it dozens of times, and what smell was also stained.

"Wait a while, and when they pee, they will rub urine on them, and the female leopard will not bite them. ”

The two had to stand here and wait slowly, and Cheng Lin didn't dare to touch them again, but the two little leopards didn't know, and they were about to eat enough, biting Cheng Lin and Cheng Mo's trouser corners to play.

"Little sister, it's really not good, let's take it back and send it to the zoo. Cheng Mo waited for a while and said.

"Brother, their mother will be sad, let's wait a little longer. ”

At this moment, a flower-white figure rushed from afar.

"Little sister, get in the car. ”

"What about the little leopard?"

The two little leopards held the corners of Cheng Lin's pants, and Cheng Lin couldn't help but ask stupidly.

"Get in the car," Cheng Mo didn't finish speaking, the female leopard had already pounced, it was the king of the mountains, and the speed was surprisingly fast.

Cheng Lin threw down the two ham sausages in his hand, raised his hand and said, "OK, we won't hurt your child." ”

"Little sister, can it understand?" Cheng Mo said nervously and funny, and then covered his sister and slowly entered the car, closed the door, and let out a long breath. The two little leopards continued to have fun around the car.

"Brother, what should I do, will the leopard mother bite them to death," Cheng Lin asked the female leopard outside the car worriedly.

I heard the female leopard roar, and the two little leopards heard their mother's call and ran back with ham sausages in their mouths, and Cheng Lin continued to look at them worriedly.

"Brother, no bite, no bite," Cheng Lin suddenly exclaimed happily.

About full, the two little leopards offered the ham sausage in their mouths to the mother leopard as if they were offering treasures, and the mother leopard did not eat, but licked their heads lovingly with her tongue, and then they screamed again and walked away with the two little leopards.

"Brother, the information on the Internet is not right. ”

It seems that it is really wrong, Cheng Mo smiled, drove the car to a mountain nest in the north, and asked again: "Little sister, how do you feel now?"

This is only the fringe area of Hoh Xil, but the altitude also exceeds the elevation of GEM City, which is close to 3,000 meters.

"It's just that it's a little hard to breathe, but the rest is fine. ”

Because of the lack of oxygen, people who have just arrived on the plateau will feel difficulty breathing, which is not terrible, but they are afraid of severe headaches, dizziness and vomiting.

It seems that it is okay, Cheng Mo began to set up a tent, at this time the mobile phone rang, Cheng Mo answered, it was Ouyang Jiong who called, the special plane was about to leave the day after tomorrow, and asked Cheng Mo how he was prepared.

Cheng Mo said that I came to QH first, but did not say that I would bring my sister to QH, only that I would come to understand the situation first.

Ouyang Jiong didn't say anything else, only said the estimated arrival time of the special plane the day after tomorrow, asked Cheng Mo to rush to the rendezvous, and hung up the phone.

Cheng Mo called three more bedmates.

Busy and busy, the weather is getting late, suddenly two cars drove in the distance, saw them, the car stopped, and several people walked down from the car, five men and three women, two of them seemed to be Tibetans, one of them asked, "Who are you?"

"We're here for a tour," Cheng Mo said a little nervously.

After all, there is a lot of news about Hoh Xil poachers on the Internet, and these people are not easy to mess with.

"This camp you chose is a good location, can you have a partner?"

"...... you?"

"We're all volunteers. ”

Hearing the volunteers, Cheng Mo was no longer worried and said, "Okay." ”

Several people also began to pitch tents, familiar movements, and apparently all had a wealth of experience in the wild.

After setting up the tent, several people made fires, and suddenly several people all stood up, and a snow leopard in the distance walked towards them with a rock sheep in its mouth.

This thing is an endangered animal, and it doesn't matter if it hurts people, but people can't hurt it.

One of them said, "Don't be afraid, its habit is to eat only one animal at a time, and if you don't mess with it, it won't hurt anyone." ”

But several people were a little scared, but Cheng Lin cheered: "Mother Leopard's family is here." ”

Cheng Mo looked carefully, it was not the female leopard he saw during the day, and there were two angry little leopard cubs behind it.

The female leopard approached, getting closer and closer, and a girl beside Cheng Mo was bumping her teeth. But at this time, the female leopard made a strange movement, came to them, put the rock sheep down, and then retreated, and sat cross-legged at a distance and watched them.

"Brother, it's here to repay the favor. ”

"What kind of gratitude?" asked one volunteer.

Cheng Lin told what happened during the day.

And the two little leopard cubs sniffed with their noses, and then came to Cheng Lin, biting the corners of Cheng Lin's pants and playing, and the female leopard lay not far away.

"Ah," the snow leopard is the most beautiful pearl of the plateau, but it is also an endangered animal, and even experts have a hard time finding snow leopards in the wild. Looking at the two cute and naughty little leopard cubs, a young female volunteer with countless little stars in her eyes also reached out to touch the little leopard, and then took out her mobile phone and kept patting.

"Beauty, don't slap us in the face. Cheng Mo said.

"Okay," said the little girl, some people like to be public, some people don't like to be in the limelight, understandable.

Cheng Mo asked the big man who seemed to be the leader again, "What should I do with this rock sheep?"

It also seems to be a protected animal.

Several volunteers exchanged opinions and finally came to a consensus that it was dead anyway, so it was better to eat it so as not to live up to the snow leopard's kindness. A Zhi Yuan stepped forward and began to collect the rock sheep, then smeared it with salt and put it on the fire to grill. When it was almost roasted, he cut a large piece of meat with a Tibetan knife and threw it in front of the female leopard, and then cut two more pieces of meat and threw them to the little leopard cub. The female leopard was not polite and ate it in large gulps.

This is really a rare **** harmonious scene, the young female volunteer looked at this beautiful Shengli, almost wanted to scream excitedly, and kept taking pictures with her mobile phone. When she was about full, the female leopard roared and walked away again with the two cubs.

Cheng Lin and the young female volunteer kept waving goodbye to them. It wasn't until they completely disappeared into the night that the young female volunteer lowered her hand and said, "Just for this scene, these two years of hard work have been worth it." ”

Another volunteer said, "Everything has a spirit, and this is a place full of spirits. ”

"Full of spirituality?" Cheng Mo immediately asked, could it be that something strange happened in Ke Ke Xili?

"There are two spiritual places in China, one is Bashu, surrounded by mountains, with great treasures and outstanding people. The second is the area from Hoh Xil to Goluo. You see, in the northwest of it are the Kunlun Mountains, the Hoh Xili Mountains, and the Qimantag Mountains, in the northeast of it are the Burhan Buda Mountains, the Ola Mountains, the Anima Qing Mountains, and the Xilian Mountains, and in the southeast of it are the Bayan Kala Mountains, the Qi'er Mountains, the Damara Mountains, and the Thaniantaweng Mountains, and in the southwest of it are the Zurken Ula Mountains and the Tanggula Mountains. Although it is sparsely populated due to the plateau topography, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, the two major mother rivers of China, originate here. ”

Dahan is just talking about it, and besides, the Wuhua Tianbao and the outstanding people are not referring to Bashu, let alone Hoh Xili. Cheng Mo was thoughtful, and then he laughed again, he was too suspicious, Jiuding's suspicion came from the Underworld, what was the 'spiritual land' at that time? Even the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau did not appear.

However, this female leopard does show a high level of intelligence...... I actually know how to repay the favor!

"But I don't know what the country is doing during this time, I often hear explosions in the Kunlun Mountains, we sent people over to reason with them, but they let the officers and soldiers drive us out of Hoh Xili. ”

"Yes, even if the country is engaged in construction, or if any mineral deposits are found in Kunlun Mountain, can't we let go of the last piece of pure land?" the other began to complain.

Cheng Mo naturally knew the reason, he secretly shook his head at his sister, signaling that she couldn't say it. Then look at the north, to here, the real sky is high and the clouds are light, the stars are exceptionally bright and moving, and in the distance there are burly and great shore figures, let the mountain wind howl, they stand still, that is Kunlun Mountain!

He whispered in his heart: What secret are you hiding?
