Chapter 18 You are a bunch of unethical bees!
Ye Yunian stopped resisting, and Apple Bear licked him even more vigorously.
He carefully cleaned the mud and sand in the gaps of Ye Yunian's pads, checked again, and made sure there was no problem before continuing to help Ye Yunian clean another pad.
At first Ye Yunian felt a little itchy, but slowly got used to it, and even felt a little comfortable.
Ye Yunian was so comfortable that he simply spread out his body and lay on Apple Bear. The four exposed pads were licked clean and beautiful by Apple Bear.
Perhaps because it was too comfortable, Ye Yunian felt sleepy as he was licked.
The two giant pandas were lying on a slightly flat slope. The surrounding trees blocked out most of the sunlight.
Only a few scattered rays of sunlight passed through the gaps in the dense leaves and fell on the ground, forming mottled marks. Occasionally, a breeze would blow through the forest.
A safe environment, a comfortable lick, and a full stomach.
With these three elements in place, Ye Yunian closed his eyes and fell asleep on the apple bear.
Because he knew his situation was particularly safe, Ye Yunian's belly was turned inside out.
They had been migrating for too long, and not only was Ye Yunian tired, but the apple bears were also tired.
Seeing that the little bear on his body had fallen asleep, Apple Bear stopped licking his fur, and finally licked Ye Yunian's face, sniffed the air around him, and made sure that there were no predators posing a threat to them before Apple Bear closed his eyes and took a nap.
The forest in early summer was not as quiet as in winter. Birds sang and insects chirped continuously, and cicadas that had emerged early also began to chirp tirelessly.
Naturally, there were more insects and snakes on the ground around him.
Ye Yunian had fallen asleep a long time ago, so he naturally did not notice these.
But Apple Bear heard the slightest movement, opened his eyes and carefully observed the surroundings.
Except for the annoying flies and ants, other insects and snakes would not think of challenging these two big guys.
But this did not prevent Apple Bear from being interested in them because they were rich in protein.
Ye Yunian, who was sleeping soundly, felt as if he was turned over. The soft mattress was gone, replaced by a hard grass.
Ye Yunian did not open his eyes, but sniffed lazily. After making sure that Apple Bear was still around, he was ready to close his eyes and continue to sleep.
At this time, he smelled a strong smell of blood.
Ye Yunian's eyes suddenly widened, and he turned over and stood up.
There was a noise in the woods not far away. After a while, an apple bear came out with a long stick in his mouth...
Wait, a snake? !
Ye Yunian opened his mouth in surprise.
"Hmm..."
Can we eat snakes?
The answer is of course yes.
Although giant pandas are vegetarians and gentle bears, they are bears after all. When they are hungry, they will eat anything that is edible.
But it is rare to see giant pandas hunting snakes.
After all, it is summer when food is plentiful. There are too many bamboo shoots in the forest to eat, and bamboo rats are even more rampant. No giant panda is willing to spend time to catch a snake that has only a few pounds of meat.
But Apple Bear is different.
He knows that the little bear he raised is more or less particular about food.
For example, Ye Yunian will never eat bamboo leaves when there are plenty of bamboo shoots, and will never touch bamboo poles when there are bamboo leaves. He is also particularly interested in other foods besides bamboo.
Ye Yunian will try wild fruits in the mountains and small fish and shrimps in the river, even if they are not delicious.
And once he finds delicious food, Ye Yunian will be eager to share it with Apple Bear.
Ye Yunian is like this, and Apple Bear is naturally the same.
All the food that Apple Bear thinks is delicious, Apple Bear wants Ye Yunian to taste it.
Of course, except for bamboo rats.
Apple Bear walked over with the long snake in his mouth and placed it in front of Ye Yunian.
Ye Yunian looked at the dead snake on the ground, and still couldn't help but took a step back.
Is this for him to eat?
Ye Yunian didn't need to ask any more questions, because the next moment Apple Bear sat on the ground, grabbed the snake with his claws, skillfully pulled off the snake's head, and peeled off the snake's skin.
After doing all this, Apple Bear checked it again, making sure it was clean, and then handed a piece of snake meat to Ye Yunian.
Ye Yunian...
No, I don't want to eat it.
Ye Yunian shook his head, rejecting Apple Bear with his actions.
If it were in the past, Ye Yunian would have rejected Apple Bear twice, and he would have understood what Ye Yunian meant and stopped feeding him.
But today, I don’t know what happened. Ye Yunian has rejected Apple Bear several times, but Apple Bear still insisted on passing the snake meat to Ye Yunian.
Ye Yunian looked at the tender pink meat in front of him with a bear face.
So why must he eat snake meat today?
Snakes are really scary for bears, and Ye Yunian can’t get over the hurdle in his heart.
But Apple Bear is obviously more patient than he thought.
He impatiently passed the snake meat to Ye Yunian, and after Ye Yunian refused again, he even made a soft "meah".
The round eyes looked at Ye Yunian without blinking, and seemed to be full of expectations.
So, so cute! So adorable!
If he wasn’t still standing, Ye Yunian would have wanted to cover his chest with his hands.
Ugh!
There's nothing I can do.
Whenever Apple Bear shows this expression, Ye Yunian can't refuse.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Yunian took the snake meat from Apple Bear.
Originally, Ye Yunian only wanted a small piece, but Apple Bear gave him the longest piece of meat.
Forget it.
What Apple Bear gave him must be what he thought was the best!
No matter what kind of meat it is, as long as it tastes good, it is good meat!
Ye Yunian prepared himself mentally before taking a careful bite.
The piece of meat that Apple Bear gave Ye Yunian was the belly with a little more fat, and the smooth and tender meat went into his mouth.
Ye Yunian chewed it ( ̄~ ̄)!
Crunch.
Ye Yunian's eyes suddenly widened.
So crispy!
It was just like eating cartilage, and the meat was so sweet!
Ye Yunian's eyes lit up, and he finally understood why Apple Bear had to feed him persistently.
Snake meat is so delicious!
Apple Bear next to him saw that Ye Yunian accepted his feeding and ate very quickly. He seemed a little happy and bleated twice.
Ye Yunian really discovered a new continent.
Before eating the snake meat, he really didn't expect that snake meat would be so delicious and have such a rich taste.
Ye Yunian couldn't stop after taking a bite. He chewed up a snake that was less than one meter long.
After finishing it, he even felt a little unsatisfied.
At this time, Apple Bear handed over the remaining piece of snake meat.
Ye Yunian looked at Apple Bear with some helplessness in his eyes.
Don't give it all to him, eat it yourself too.
Ye Yunian refused Apple Bear's feeding and handed the snake meat to Apple Bear again.
Apple Bear didn't understand, and looked at Ye Yunian with some confusion with his wet black eyes.
Ye Yunian snorted at him twice, picked up the snake meat, and handed it directly to Apple Bear's mouth.
The two bears were very close to each other. Looking at the snake meat so close, Apple Bear understood what Little Bear meant.
He wanted him to eat it too.
Apple Bear no longer hesitated, took the snake meat and started eating.
After the two bears shared a spicy strip, they carefully cleaned their hair before continuing on their way.
The higher they went in the mountain, the lower the temperature.
Apple Bear also slowed down and began to walk and stop with Ye Yunian in the forest.
Ye Yunian guessed that Apple Bear should be preparing to find a territory suitable for them to live in nearby.
The fact was just as Ye Yunian thought.
For the next few days, Apple Bear took Ye Yunian to move around the forest.
But after moving around, Apple Bear never found a satisfactory territory.
For giant pandas, the most ideal territory must have a bamboo forest and a water source.
After a few days, Apple Bear did find a territory that had both, but each of these territories had its own shortcomings.
Either the bamboo forest was too small or the water resources were too scarce.
The bamboo forest was small, and if Apple Bear was the only bear, there would definitely be enough food.
But now Apple Bear still had to support Ye Yunian, especially since this little bear didn't like to eat bamboo poles, and even had a preference for eating bamboo leaves, so a bamboo forest that was too small was not suitable for the two bears to live in.
Adequate water resources are also extremely important to the two bears.
The summer is hot, and there are even occasional droughts. Rivers may dry up, not to mention streams.
After a few days, Apple Bear concluded that there was no suitable territory for living in this forest.
So Ye Yunian, who had just rested for a few days, followed Apple Bear to migrate again.
Although migration is tiring, Ye Yunian believes that Apple Bear's judgment will not be wrong, so he has no complaints.
And in Ye Yunian's view, it is also good to walk around the forest more!
For example, at this moment, he found a big beehive on the tree.
Just standing under the tree, Ye Yunian smelled the sweet scent of honey.
Ah.
Sweet honey.
Ye Yunian was drooling and wanted to eat.
Apple Bear was used to Ye Yunian's stopping and starting. When he saw that the little bear didn't catch up, he turned around and went back to look for Ye Yunian. Then he saw the little bear hanging on the tree.
After a spring, Ye Yunian seemed to have grown up a little, and the whole little bear looked rounder.
But despite the roundness, Ye Yunian's tree climbing skills were still very strong!
He climbed up the tree and stopped about half a meter away from the beehive, sniffing the smell in the hive carefully.
That's right!
There is honey!
Ye Yunian's eyes sparkled, and then he was quick-witted and quick-mouthed. He kicked the tree with his legs, jumped up a bit, bit the beehive with his mouth, and took the beehive down the tree before the bees could react.
Seeing that Apple Bear was waiting for him under the tree, Ye Yunian bleated at him twice in a hurry.
Run!
Apple Bear understood, turned around and ran forward with Ye Yunian.
Ye Yunian bit the entire home of bees in one bite, and dozens of bees kept circling around him.
Fortunately, his fur was thick, and the bees could not get to him for a while.
But Apple Bear looked very anxious, and circled around Ye Yunian several times, trying to help him knock off the bees flying around.
The bees were too small and difficult to entangle.
Apple Bear's action did not have any effect on him.
At this moment, Ye Yunian felt a pain in his eyelids, and he screamed.
My eyelid was stung!
The next moment, Ye Yunian found that Apple Bear was approaching, took the beehive from his mouth, and then ran away quickly.
Ye Yunian was stunned for a moment, and then he saw swarms of bees heading towards Apple Bear.
Ah, every injustice has its perpetrators, and you can't sting Apple Bear again after you stung me.
You are a group of unsportsmanlike bees!
Ye Yunian snorted and yelled twice, and quickly chased after them.
The two bears didn't remember how long they ran, and the giant panda was running at a full speed of 40 kilometers per hour.
When the Apple Bear in front of him stopped, Ye Yunian realized that the buzzing sound in his ears had long disappeared.
He just lay down on the ground with his limbs spread out.
Phew~
I'm safe!
