Chapter 16 He will never regret making this decision.

Ye Yunian decided not to catch those small fish and shrimps, but he would not give up on catching big fat fish.

There are many fish in this river, and there are countless big fat fish that Ye Yunian likes.

If you want to catch big fat fish, you must go to the deep water area.

At the beginning, Ye Yunian just tested the shallow water area.

Seeing that Apple Bear was not dragging his neck to the shore, Ye Yunian began to try to go to slightly deeper waters.

Apple Bear naturally discovered that Ye Yunian went to the deep water area. The reason why he did not intervene was because Apple Bear judged that this river was very safe.

Giant pandas migrate with the change of seasons. When they go to new territories to find food, they will also encounter situations where they need to cross rivers. Swimming has become one of the compulsory courses for giant pandas.

A river with a slow flow and not too deep water is very suitable for Ye Yunian to learn to swim.

And more importantly, when Ye Yunian goes into the water, Apple Bear is always nearby. If he encounters any danger, he can go to help at the first time.

After Ye Yunian's last experience, he has a greater fear of water, and naturally he will not challenge himself and suddenly run to a deep water area that is higher than his height.

The problem is here-

the water area that is no higher than Ye Yunian's height is only about one meter deep, and there are no big fat fish at all, let alone fish with seeds!

Ye Yunian tried to catch fish several times, but all he caught were fish with flat bellies.

Ye Yunian would not waste food, so he shared the fish with Apple Bear.

But he really wanted to eat fish roe!

After catching fish again but finding that the fish had no roe, Ye Yunian could not sit still, and he went to the shore to find Apple Bear while bleating.

Apple Bear was sitting on the shore at this moment, soaking half of his body in the water.

The weather was hot, and the giant pandas had thick fur, so soaking in water was their usual way to cool down and prevent heatstroke.

Ye Yunian's calls were very regular, and when put together, they sounded like a nice tune.

Apple Bear looked at him.

Ye Yunian walked to Apple Bear, stretched out his big head, and bit Apple Bear's arm.

Apple Bear was a little confused, but he still stood up as Ye Yunian bit him gently.

Seeing Ye Yunian leading him to the deep water, Apple Bear probably understood what Ye Yunian meant.

In order to lay eggs smoothly, fish with seeds generally do not choose to be active during the day when there are many predators.

Night is their time to haunt.

But it is not impossible to catch such fish during the day.

Ye Yunian let go of Apple Bear's arm.

Apple Bear stood there and observed for a moment, then led Ye Yunian to a shore area with lush aquatic plants.

Ye Yunian hurriedly caught up, and the whole bear's body was shaking with joy.

Apple Bear and Ye Yunian stood near the aquatic plants, and the water around them became turbid because of walking.

But both bears were very patient. When the water became clear again, Apple Bear glanced at Ye Yunian before lowering his head to observe the water carefully.

Ye Yunian saw this and quickly lowered his head to observe.

Apple Bear usually doesn't act easily, but he caught a big fat fish as soon as he did!

Everything happened so fast in a flash that before Ye Yunian could even see clearly, a big fat fish that was jumping around was already in Apple Bear's mouth.

Apple Bear passed the fish to Ye Yunian's mouth.

Ye Yunian was shocked.

Wasn't he still observing just a second ago?

How did he catch it in such a short time?

After watching Apple Bear hunting up close, Ye Yunian felt that Apple Bear was even more powerful.

This is a strong man!

Ye Yunian took the fish from Apple Bear's mouth and took a big bite.

Envy.

He also wanted to work hard to become such a strong man.

After eating the fish, Ye Yunian continued to follow Apple Bear obediently.

After several times, Ye Yunian finally found the key to finding fish with eggs.

So, the next time he found a fish with eggs swimming past his feet, Ye Yunian jumped towards the fish without hesitation.

Although the splash was bigger than that of Apple Bear and it took a little more time, Ye Yunian succeeded.

He jumped out of the water, shook the water off his face, and handed the fish he caught to Apple Bear's mouth with sparkling eyes.

After spending so much time together, Apple Bear naturally knew what Ye Yunian meant.

He didn't bother to be polite with Ye Yunian and took the food from Ye Yunian.

The hair on Ye Yunian's head almost stood up with pride.

Hum.

Ye Yunian uttered a strange but regular tune, and was excited to continue catching fish.

After Apple Bear ate the fish that Little Bear gave him, he went to the shore to soak in the water again.

After a few days, Ye Yunian has completely mastered the skill of catching fish.

And because he often moves in deep water, he has completely mastered the skill of swimming.

Of course, Ye Yunian actually knows how to swim.

It's just that now he is more like a fish in water.

Ye Yunian and Apple Bear lived here for a month.

There were basically no large wild predators around, which would not threaten their lives, so the two bears lived here very comfortably.

As the weather got warmer, Ye Yunian and Apple Bear felt a little uncomfortable.

In order to withstand the severe winter cold in high-altitude areas, the giant pandas have very thick fur.

Every summer, it is particularly difficult.

The bamboo forest is completely airtight because of the lush bamboo.

Every noon, it is like a huge steamer inside, and Ye Yunian and Apple Bear will leave the bamboo forest and go to the river in front to soak.

But it was also very uncomfortable to soak in the river water for the whole day. Ye Yunian knew that it was time for them to leave.

Apple Bear must have had this idea as well. Whenever he had nothing to do in the past few days, he would go to the deep water area and try to catch as many fat fish as possible for Ye Yunian to eat. After all

, it would be difficult to eat such fat fish after leaving this river.

Ye Yunian also knew this, so he ate less bamboo in the past few days and followed Apple Bear's butt to catch fish every day.

The temperature seemed to have risen a little today. Not long after the sun rose in the early morning, Ye Yunian was awakened by the heat.

Apple Bear had already gotten up and was biting bamboo shoots not far away.

In May, bamboo shoots have been growing for a while. The bamboo shoots at this time are not as tender as those in early March, and they have grown particularly tall.

The bamboo shoot that Apple Bear is biting is almost two meters high.

This is simply a bamboo shoot cannon!

Ye Yunian stood up and unceremoniously went over to share the bamboo shoot with Apple Bear.

After eating just one bamboo shoot, Ye Yunian was so hot that he lay on the ground gasping for breath.

Apple Bear's fur is thicker than Ye Yunian's, so he is naturally more uncomfortable.

Ye Yunian stood up first, no, I have to go soak in the water!

Ye Yunian bit Apple Bear's arm.

This is the action that Ye Yunian used to tell Apple Bear to walk. Because Ye Yunian had done this to Apple Bear many times, Apple Bear had completely understood the meaning of this action.

Ye Yunian took the lead in biting a bamboo stick, and Apple Bear followed suit and snapped off two sticks. Then the two bears took their "bamboo takeout" and ran to a cool place by the water to soak.

The water here is a bit deep, but there are a few huge trees on the water surface, just blocking the scorching sun.

There is water, no sunlight, and bamboo. It is simply a good location tailor-made for Ye Yunian and Apple Bear.

The only drawback is probably that there is no stone here for them to lie down and sleep.

Ye Yunian quickly finished eating the leaves of his own bamboo, and then went over to nibble on Apple Bear's bamboo leaves.

After being together for so long, Apple Bear has already figured out Ye Yunian's appetite.

Knowing that the little bear likes bamboo leaves, he would save the leaves for Ye Yunian most of the time, and this time was no exception.

The two big pandas shared three bamboos, but they were not full.

Ye Yunian prepared to fill the rest of his stomach with fish, so he stood up and prepared to go to the deep water.

Apple Bear stood up and followed him.

Perhaps because they have been active around here all the time recently, the smell they left behind was a bit strong, and the fish were alerted and didn't move around in the nearby aquatic plants.

So today Apple Bear took Ye Yunian to the waters further upstream.

The water here flows more slowly, and compared to the previous area, the aquatic plants grow more abundantly, and the fish resources are the same.

After a month of training, Ye Yunian's fishing skills have become very proficient. He doesn't even need Apple Bear to feed him. Ye Yunian can feed himself well.

Apple Bear didn't share any fish with Ye Yunian today. They need to eat as much as possible during the whole day to save energy for migration at night.

The two big pandas stood in the water, catching a big fat fish and eating it, and they were particularly satisfied.

Ye Yunian's appetite was not as big as Apple Bear's, so he ate first.

But catching fish is so interesting. When you are full, you can let Apple Bear catch it!

Just after Ye Yunian successfully caught a fish again, he was about to pass the fish in his mouth to Apple Bear not far away, when he saw Apple Bear suddenly stand on his feet alertly.

Ye Yunian was stunned.

It was the first time he saw Apple Bear so alert. Could it be that there was danger nearby?

Ye Yunian also became alert and stretched out his nose to sniff the air.

But strangely, Ye Yunian did not smell any threatening smell.

Apple Bear seemed to have made a judgment. He called to Ye Yunian and turned to walk towards the shore.

Ye Yunian knew that this was Apple Bear's signal for him to leave.

Although it was noon, since it was Apple Bear's judgment, it would definitely not be wrong.

Fortunately, there was still a fat fish in his mouth, Apple Bear must not be full.

Ye Yunian walked towards Apple Bear, ready to hand the fish in his mouth to Apple Bear, and heard a familiar language coming from him——

"Hey! Look! Is that a panda?"

"Where? Where? Is it true? A giant panda?"

Ye Yunian paused, his whole body stiffened, and he couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound.

How long has he been released?

Ye Yunian didn't know the exact time, he only remembered that he was released at the beginning of spring, and then until the summer was about to come.

Living with Apple Bear was so comfortable. Apple Bear was very good at taking care of him, and had much more experience in surviving in the wild than Ye Yunian.

Ye Yunian never went hungry when he followed Apple Bear.

Not only that, Apple Bear also taught Ye Yunian many survival skills.

Ye Yunian gradually began to get used to living with Apple Bear, and also got used to sleeping on Apple Bear's belly every night.

The belly is such a fragile and warm place.

Apple Bear actually trusted him so much.

It was precisely because of this trust and tolerance that Ye Yunian dared to be himself in front of Apple Bear.

He and Apple Bear got along very comfortably, and Ye Yunian was very happy every day.

Perhaps it was because of this that he forgot his original purpose - to return to the base. The fact that

humans appeared here meant that this place was very close to the base.

Now Ye Yunian had two choices:

to separate from the Apple Bear or to leave with the Apple Bear.

"Wow, they are really pandas!"

"There are two more, look! There is another one over there, they are so well-behaved -"

"Is it a mother bear with her cubs?"

The two men had already spotted Ye Yunian and Apple Bear, and Apple Bear was getting more and more uneasy, but Ye Yunian never caught up with him, and he didn't leave immediately, but stood on the shore and kept calling Ye Yunian. Seeing Ye Yunian looking back at the upright ape, he kept circling on the shore anxiously.

Ye Yunian couldn't help but look at the two men.

They were carrying two bags and cameras, and they would appear in the reserve. They should be scientific research staff.

After discovering Ye Yunian and Apple Bear, they didn't approach them rashly, but stood at a distance and took out their cameras to start recording.

As long as Ye Yunian walked towards them.

As long as he walked over, Ye Yunian might be able to follow them and find the base.

Ye Yunian gritted his teeth, and the big fat fish subconsciously fluttered in his mouth.

Ye Yunian closed his eyes and took a step forward.

A breeze blew up, temporarily blowing away the midday heat.

The dense bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest rustled, and the figures of the two giant pandas finally disappeared into the forest.

The two staff members standing far away discussed excitedly:

"The other little bear looks quite old, but he hasn't been driven away by the mother bear yet."

"Yeah, but I think this little bear looks familiar?"

Ye Yunian didn't know what the two staff members were talking about. At this time, he just handed the big fat fish in his mouth to Apple Bear, and then he couldn't help but rushed over and bit Apple Bear's arm.

Apple Bear, do you know that I actually refused to make it for you!

Make it!

Apple Bear naturally didn't know.

He bit the fish, thinking that the little bear wanted to eat it too, so he handed all the most delicious fish roe and fish belly to Ye Yunian.

Ye Yunian let go of Apple Bear's arm.

Aowu bit the fish with his eyes sparkling.

He thought that he would never regret making this decision.
