Chapter 34 Everyone is equally fast
Ye Yunian's bear paw was too unreasonable, and directly covered Song Yi's eyes.
Song Yi lowered his head in confusion and met Ye Yunian's eyes.
Ye Yunian opened his mouth: "Wuwuying——"
The meaning was very obvious: Don't look!
Song Yi tilted his head slightly, and just when he raised his head and was about to change the direction to continue looking, Ye Yunian's bear paw came over again, not wanting Song Yi to see more obvious.
Song Yi lowered his head again and looked at Ye Yunian in confusion.
After experiencing the estrus period once, Song Yi also had a vague understanding of the estrus period.
He roughly understood that this was something that every giant panda would experience, but he did not have a clear understanding of the complete solution to this problem.
Although relying on himself and Ye Yunian could indeed relieve the symptoms, Song Yi instinctively felt that this was not the most correct way.
Until this morning, he was awakened by two similar calls.
The male giant panda that came to chase them last night was standing on a high cliff and communicating with another female giant panda.
Song Yi could not understand many of their behaviors, but until the two giant pandas entered the topic, Song Yi gradually realized it.
It turned out that this was the best way to relieve the discomfort during estrus.
But before he could see it more clearly, Ye Yunian woke up.
Song Yi has been a studious panda since he was young. When he was with his mother, he was always diligently learning survival skills from her.
Otherwise, he would not have been driven away by his mother and lived alone in the mountains until he met Ye Yunian at the age of four.
For Song Yi, this experience is also a valuable learning experience.
So he doesn't understand why Ye Yunian suddenly covered his eyes with his paws to stop him from looking.
Ye Yunian is a little overbearing.
In fact, he rarely interferes with what Song Yi does, but once Ye Yunian makes a decision, even Song Yi cannot make Ye Yunian change his mind.
Just like today, Ye Yunian was determined not to let Song Yi continue to watch.
The silent confrontation between the two pandas ended with Song Yi giving up first.
Song Yi was the first to get down from the tree.
Seeing that Song Yi had really given up and was not going to secretly observe and learn anymore, Ye Yunian breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Yi had already reached under the tree, but Ye Yunian was slow to come down, so he called Ye Yunian softly.
Ye Yunian couldn't help but secretly glance in the direction of the cliff, then he looked away and began to get down from the tree.
Mating behavior is an instinct of animals, but it is not an ability that all animals are born with.
For some slow-witted giant pandas, they also need to observe other pandas of the same kind, and even try repeatedly for a long time before they can learn.
Ye Yunian naturally knew that Song Yi was observing the two giant pandas only for the purpose of learning.
But it was precisely because of this that he didn't want Song Yi to continue watching.
After coming down from the tree, Song Yi took Ye Yunian to the nearby bamboo forest to forage for food as usual.
After they both had their fill, Song Yi continued to lead the way.
Usually at this time, Ye Yunian's attention would always be attracted by the flowers and plants on the roadside.
But today, Ye Yunian's sight always fell on Song Yi in front of him.
Ye Yunian couldn't help but think about a question, why did he stop Song Yi from going to observe and learn?
He was just Song Yi's good brother. When Song Yi was at a loss and confused during his first estrus period, he could indeed help him.
After all, he and Song were both males. Even if he could help Song Yi solve the problem temporarily, he couldn't help Song Yi solve it for the rest of his life.
It is only natural for Song Yi to go find other female giant pandas...
Is it only natural?
Ye Yunian paused and buried his head to look at the unknown weeds under his feet.
It is indeed a natural thing to do.
But why is Ye Yunian so unhappy!
Ye Yunian stopped for a long time, and Song Yi also stopped and looked back at Ye Yunian.
In the past, as long as Song Yi stopped, Ye Yunian would quickly catch up even if he was interested in the flowers and plants on the road.
But today, I don’t know what happened. Ye Yunian hung his head, almost burying his beautiful and round head in the ground. He didn’t raise his head to follow, let alone look at Song Yi.
Since living with Ye Yunian, Song Yi has become better at thinking.
So when he saw Ye Yunian like this, the first thing he thought of was that the little bear was angry.
But why was Ye Yunian angry?
Ye Yunian was indeed a little unhappy about what happened in the morning, but he didn't show any dissatisfaction when he was eating in the bamboo forest?
Song Yi couldn't figure out the reason, but he always liked to act before thinking.
So he just stood there and thought for a second, then walked quickly towards Ye Yunian.
Ye Yunian has grown to four years old, and his body shape is very close to Song Yi's.
But in comparison, his head is still not as big as Song Yi's.
Song Yi knew that Ye Yunian usually liked his furry head the most, so when he approached, he gently rubbed Ye Yunian's head with his head and made a soothing sound.
Ye Yunian finally raised his head at this time. His black eyes were wet, and he looked at Song Yi with some grievance.
Song Yi licked Ye Yunian's eye sockets, and then began to clean the hair on Ye Yunian's head.
Ye Yunian felt very comfortable being licked by Song Yi, and the unhappy mood in his heart also disappeared a lot.
He knew that he was somewhat unreasonable today, but Ye Yunian just wanted to lose his temper and let Song Yi coax him.
It seemed that only in this way could he prove his position in Song Yi's heart.
Even though there were only the two big pandas around them and no other spectators.
Ye Yunian's temper came and went quickly.
Although he still didn't understand why he minded Song Yi going out to look for female bears, Ye Yunian understood one thing at this time -
he was a super petty giant panda!
Song Yi was possessive of Ye Yunian.
Why not Ye Yunian?
He didn't want Song Yi to go out to look for other female bears.
That is to say, next year's estrus period...
well.
Think about it when the time comes.
There is no point in worrying about these things in advance!
Ye Yunian felt his little bear face flushed.
Ye Yunian and Song Yi set off again.
As the temperature gradually rose, the spring belonging to bamboo shoots arrived completely.
This spring, Song Yi and Ye Yunian wandered around the mountains and forests for a long time, but they didn't find a territory that satisfied both of them, the two giant pandas.
Finally, Song Yi took Ye Yunian to the river where they had been before.
Ye Yunian was shocked as he saw the road becoming more and more familiar.
What the hell!
Could it be that the Apple Bears finally trust humans?
Now they are willing to take the initiative to approach areas where humans are likely to appear!
Ye Yunian was a little moved, but at the same time he did not forget to remind Song Yi that not all humans are good people!
Song Yi still needs to be wary of humans.
Ye Yunian made a long series of noises, which were words that Song Yi could not understand.
But it did not affect Song Yi's response.
In April, Ye Yunian and Song Yi settled down near the river again.
There are many bamboo forests on both sides of the river, and bamboo shoots are popping up one by one, so many that they can't be eaten up.
Not to mention the fat fish in the river, it is simply a holy place for Ye Yunian, a bear!
Ye Yunian's daily digestion exercise after a full meal became going to the river to catch fish.
In late April, when the temperature gradually rose, Ye Yunian would find a cool place to soak in the water at noon.
At this time, Song Yi would follow him to soak in the water. In
the past, Ye Yunian and Song Yi would take separate baths in the water.
Although the two giant pandas were close to each other, there was still a little distance between them.
Now, every time they took a bath, Song Yi would stretch out his arms and hold Ye Yunian in his arms.
At the beginning, Ye Yunian was not used to it, but since he experienced the harmonious behavior of the two giant pandas, Ye Yunian no longer refused Song Yi.
Maybe Ye Yunian's original intention was to hope that Song Yi would stick to him all the time.
Ye Yunian decided to be a giant panda that followed his heart!
Because Ye Yunian never refused, one or two embarrassing things happened during this period.
After all, Song Yi is already a sexually mature giant panda, so it is inevitable that some physiological conditions will occur occasionally.
In the past, Ye Yunian would definitely choose to ignore it without hesitation.
But since he felt a sense of crisis last time, Ye Yunian chose to lie down.
No matter how Song Yi manipulates him, Ye Yunian will not refuse.
Of course, licking yourself is still not allowed!
Every spring is exceptionally short, followed by the hot summer.
Before the summer came completely, Ye Yunian and Song Yi left the river and headed for the mountains with higher altitudes.
So the clinging that was originally only acceptable in water became clinging anytime and anywhere because of the lower temperature.
As time went by, Song Yi developed the habit of asking Ye Yunian for help whenever something happened.
Seeing that Song Yi was becoming more and more dependent on Ye Yunian, Ye Yunian finally felt relieved.
And the footsteps of autumn and winter followed closely behind the tail of summer.
This winter, finding a new territory became Ye Yunian's task.
In fact, Song Yi didn't intend to let Ye Yunian do it at first, but who is Ye Yunian?
He is a little bear who will not stop until he achieves his goal! If
Song Yi doesn't agree, Ye Yunian won't let him hold him to sleep, and he even deliberately ignores Song Yi during meals.
Song Yi was used to Ye Yunian, and couldn't bear to see Ye Yunian unhappy, so he followed Ye Yunian.
Fortunately, Ye Yunian had been with Song Yi for more than two years, and he had learned a lot of real skills!
Although it took him twice as long as Song Yi, Ye Yunian finally successfully found a territory suitable for the two giant pandas to spend the entire winter, and in this territory, there was also a cave large enough for the two giant pandas to lie down and sleep.
Ye Yunian was very happy about this.
On the first day of arriving at the territory, he began to decorate the cave non-stop.
Ye Yunian likes soft and dry caves, so this time he almost cleaned up all the dry weeds around.
The fodder was evenly spread in the cave, and Ye Yunian would step on it carefully to compact it.
After doing this, Ye Yunian couldn't wait to lie down in the cave.
"Hmm.
Comfortable!
" Ye Yunian made a happy cry.
Song Yi heard the sound and walked in with a few long bamboo shoots.
Ye Yunian turned over and stood up, walked to Song Yi and licked him, then bit his arm and motioned him to lie down too.
Song Yi knew that Ye Yunian liked this clean cave, so he put the long bamboo shoots in his mouth at the entrance of the cave, and then walked in.
He lay down next to Ye Yunian and rolled around in the cave with Ye Yunian.
Don't say anything.
The thick grass separated the cold and hard stone cave. When lying down, you can still smell a faint scent of grass. It is indeed very comfortable.
Ye Yunian has already rolled in the cave. He is having a lot of fun.
He turned over again and rolled to the side of Song Yi.
When he was about to pounce on Song Yi, Song Yi suddenly stood up, turned over and pressed Ye Yunian under him.
The warm fur wrapped around Ye Yunian, and he thought Song Yi wanted to play a trick on him, so he immediately prepared to stand up and press back.
Suddenly, he felt a familiar object poking him.
Ye Yunian's eyes widened, and he looked at Song Yi who was pressing on him in disbelief.
Here?
Now?
Ah——
Ye Yunian stretched out his paw to cover his eyes and began to play dead.
I don't know if Apple Bear has become addicted to bamboo shoots recently, and the frequency seems to be getting higher and higher?
But his speed is still very fast every time.
After all, this tribe of giant pandas is like this, everyone is equally fast.
A few minutes later, Song Yi let out a light hum from his throat.
Ye Yunian knew that this was a signal of the end, but he still did not remove his bear paw that was covering the little bear's face.
Only after Song Yi cleaned the hair off his body did Ye Yunian get up with a groan.
The first thing he did after getting up was to go to the entrance of the cave to show off the bamboo shoots.
After all, the bamboo shoots in this season are few and far between.
If you want to eat fresh young bamboo shoots, you can only wait until the next spring.
The cold winter came in the blink of an eye.
This year is the third winter that Ye Yunian has spent in the wild.
Before the first snow came, the staff of the Walnut Ping Base went to several key areas of giant panda activities in the Wolong Nature Reserve and placed many hidden tracking cameras.
On the way to place the camera, they also found several places where wild animals left feces.
Through simple identification and analysis, they quickly determined that there were three places where feces were left by different giant pandas.
"It seems that there are still many traces of giant pandas here." A staff member said.
"Well, there are many bamboo forests here, and there are abundant water sources nearby. The temperature is also suitable, which is just right for pandas to spend the winter. It is estimated that there will be territorial disputes here soon." The colleague replied.
"Speaking of which, did we monitor the infrared signal of Yu Nian this year?" At this time, another staff member asked. The
accompanying staff all nodded.
Yes, this spring, they captured the infrared signal of Yu Nian again.
The staff analyzed his infrared signals and found that Yu Nian stayed in a fixed territory in the spring.
He spent most of his time every day in the bamboo forest and by the water.
From his activities, it can be seen that Yu Nian has adapted well to life in the wild, and he is also a giant panda who likes to take a bath.
When talking about Yu Nian, the topic became relaxed.
As the group chatted, they couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know if we can capture Yu Nian this time?"
"It would be great if we can, we haven't seen him for a long time."
"Well, there is also Song Yi. I don't know if this big guy is doing well recently..."
"He is a giant panda with more experience than Yu Nian, don't worry about him."
"But then again, are Song Yi and Yu Nian separated now?"
There is no answer to this question.
Because the staff really don't know.
Not sure if it's because the infrared signal on Song Yi is broken, they only found Yu Nian's signal this time, but didn't find Song Yi's signal, so the staff can't be sure whether Song Yi is with Yu Nian now.
Some staff think they should have separated.
After all, Song Yi is almost seven years old this year, and he must have entered his estrus period a long time ago.
Male giant pandas in estrus have very bad tempers. How could Song Yi tolerate having a sub-adult male giant panda by his side?
Besides, bringing Yu Nian with him is not conducive to Song Yi finding a partner!
No female will choose a male giant panda with cubs!
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard it.
Although everyone secretly hopes that the two giant pandas can live in peace, they also know that this is an impossible thing.
Giant pandas are solitary animals.
Even if the relationship is as good as that of Yu Nian and Song Yi, they will go their separate ways when one of them reaches adulthood.
After placing the camera at this place, the staff quickly left and rushed to the next place.
The first snow of winter fell two days later.
Ye Yu Nian woke up and suddenly found that it was snowing outside. The snowflakes were not big now, but it was estimated that it would start to snow heavily later.
Song Yi was still sleeping soundly with Ye Yu Nian on his back, but Ye Yu Nian didn't care about that. He sat up like a little bear, bleated at Song Yi who had just woken up, and ran out.
Before the snow gets too thick, Ye Yunian will hurry to catch two wild rabbits and bite off a lot of bamboo leaves to store!
After all, Ye Yunian is a very picky panda. He doesn't like to eat bamboo stalks, but only bamboo shoots and leaves. However, he doesn't like to eat bamboo leaves that have been frozen by snowflakes.
Song Yi watched Ye Yunian's back as he ran away, and he quickly reacted. He got up and ran out with him.
The cave that Ye Yunian found this year was very large. Ye Yunian and Song Yi could lie down and sleep, and there was still a large empty space. This place was perfect for storing Ye Yunian's bamboo leaves.
Ye Yunian ran straight to the bamboo forest, bit off a few bamboos, and saw Song Yi running over.
Without Ye Yunian's additional explanation, Song Yi came forward to help.
Ye Yunian didn't know how long the snow would last, but he knew that there would be more bamboo leaves in the cave!
So the two bears worked together.
Song Yi was responsible for biting the bamboo, and Ye Yunian was responsible for biting the top of the bamboo with the most leaves.
When the bamboo leaves were almost collected, Ye Yunian and Song Yi would drag them back to the cave together.
Ye Yunian and Song Yi didn't stop until the empty space in the cave was filled with bamboo leaves.
But these bamboo leaves alone were not enough.
Ye Yunian decided to catch a few more rabbits, so that he would not have to leave the cave when it snowed heavily in the next few days, and the rabbit meat would not go bad in the snow.
As if he could see what Ye Yunian was thinking, Song Yi simply sorted out the bamboo leaves that Ye Yunian had piled in the cave, and then stood up first. Having
lived in the new territory for so long, Song Yi had already figured out where there were more wild rabbits.
Ye Yunian hurriedly followed.
He walked to Song Yi's side and rubbed him vigorously with his fluffy body.
Song Yi lowered his head, licked Ye Yunian's eyes, and motioned Ye Yunian to follow him.
With Song Yi's help, today's hunting was particularly smooth.
Soon, Ye Yunian and Song Yi each carried three rabbits back to their den.
After working all morning, the two big pandas realized that they had not eaten anything today.
The snow outside was getting heavier. Ye Yunian stood up and dragged a few big bamboo leaves from the bamboo leaves next to him, motioning Song Yi to eat with him.
Song Yi smelled the bamboo leaves but did not move his mouth.
He knew that Ye Yunian did not like bamboo leaves that had been frozen, so he would not touch these bamboo leaves at all.
Song Yi stood up and went to the bamboo forest not far away to drag back two bamboo poles that they had bitten off before.
Ye Yunian was moved, but he was not a little bear who ate alone.
So every now and then, Song Yi would see a few bamboo leaves pulled off the green onion bamboo poles falling on his belly.
Song Yi wanted to pick it up and give it back to Ye Yunian.
Ye Yunian was quick-witted and covered Song Yi's mouth with his soft pad of flesh.
Song Yi's eyes widened.
As if asking: Is it still possible?
Of course it is possible!
Ye Yunian was very proud. He watched Song Yi finish eating the bamboo leaves, and then he took back his paw with satisfaction... Hey? Wait! He
didn't take back the paw. Song Yi was helping him clean the residue inside the paw.
For giant pandas, the paw is the most fragile organ on their bodies.
Ye Yunian usually pays attention to protecting his paw, so even if he is too lazy to clean his hair every day, he will take the time to clean his paw.
Of course, Song Yi will also help Ye Yunian clean the paw.
But the feeling of licking the pad of flesh with the tongue is really itchy!
Ye Yunian still prefers to lick himself, so he doesn't let Song Yi touch him much.
Today, Song Yi grabbed his paw and licked it again, and Ye Yunian felt like there were some small claws tickling his heart.
The two big pandas soon ate and drank their fill, and Ye Yunian walked to the entrance of the cave, propped up his chin and began to appreciate the snow scene.
Ye Yunian hated the heavy snow that made the taste of bamboo leaves worse, but he didn't hate snowy days.
After cleaning his own hair, Song Yi also came over, lay down next to Ye Yunian, stretched out his tongue and began to help Ye Yunian clean his hair. As
Ye Yunian was licked, he felt sleepy.
The snow fluttered silently, and the whole forest fell into silence. In the warm cave, the two giant pandas fell asleep in each other's arms. Of course, they could do some other activities.
After all, they couldn't let down such a beautiful snow scene.
Winter is gone and spring is here, and it's another year of beautiful scenery.
This year, Ye Yunian officially entered adulthood.
After the third spring rain, Song Yi's estrus period arrived this year.
Unlike last year, Ye Yunian discovered his abnormality when Song Yi's performance was not obvious this year.
The smell of a male giant panda in estrus is very strong, and Ye Yunian felt a little uncomfortable as soon as he smelled it.
It's not that he can't accept this smell, but now Ye Yunian can distinguish the gender and other information of the same kind from the smell. He can feel Song Yi's strength through Song Yi's smell.
This is an instinct engraved in DNA.
The strong aura made Ye Yunian feel a little uneasy, and even for the first time, Ye Yunian had the idea of escaping.
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Ye Yunian was shocked.
The genes are a little too strong!
He is obviously not afraid of Song Yi at all, and Song Yi has never been fierce to him.
But this strong aura is reminding Ye Yunian that the other party is not easy to mess with.
Humph.
So what if he is not easy to mess with? No matter how difficult he is, he
is still Ye Yunian's Apple Bear!
Ye Yunian will never let him go out to find other female bears.
Ye Yunian felt that his idea was a bit overbearing, but soon he didn't have the energy to think about it.
Song Yi went out to the bamboo forest to find food in the morning, and Ye Yunian went back to the cave after eating.
At this moment, I don't know if it's because I ate too much, but Ye Yunian felt dizzy all over, as if there was a fire hidden in his body, burning him a little.
In a daze, Ye Yunian seemed to fall into a deep sleep.
Before falling asleep, Ye Yunian was still thinking: What's wrong with me?
