Chapter 110 Xu Nian: First Love
Xu Nian had no idea that Luo Yin thought he was dead, and he had been feeling guilty for so many days. He also had no idea that Kaie, the big-mouthed leopard, had told Luo Yin about him, and that Luo Yin was already thinking of something bad.
He is now spending time with Los, and he feels the freshness of this situation as he has never been in a relationship before.
Xu Nian didn't know how he fell asleep. He felt comfortable being licked by Los, so he closed his eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up the next day, the sky was clear for a rare time.
Thick snow almost covered the snowfield. Fortunately, the place where they were was quite steep and could not hold too much snow. After Xu Nian yawned, he saw Los who had returned exhausted with a marmot in his mouth. It was obvious that Los had spent a lot of effort to find this marmot, and his originally smooth fur was a little messy.
"Awake? It's time for something to eat." After placing the marmot in front of Xu Nian, Los turned around and licked his messy fur and the wounds left from the fight with Luo Yin.
If it is given another chance, it will definitely perform better.
"Let's eat together." Xu Nian gently wagged his tail and moved closer to Los, sniffing him with the tip of his nose. Although he couldn't smell anything at all, it might be because he had been a snow leopard for so long that Xu Nian had picked up some habits of large cats.
Los let Xu Nian sniff him. After all, he had cleaned himself up and made sure that there was no scent of Luo Yin at all.
When it comes to caution, Los is definitely number one.
After all, Xu Nian had been cheated by Luo Yin before. Even if a leopard teaches a leopard something, it will learn it after being taught once.
"Okay." Los responded, licked Xu Nian, and then ate the marmot with Xu Nian. He bit the marmot's neck and started tearing it from the back, but left the abdomen and thighs for Xu Nian, making it easier for him to tear it and eat the meat.
The vulture, so hungry that it could hardly fly, stopped on the rock wall, making hoarse and unpleasant sounds, its eyes fixed on the marmot. It was not difficult to suspect that if Los had not been here, the vulture would have been so hungry that it would have robbed the prey.
Xu Nian was well-fed, a big furry ball. He lowered his head to tear the marmot apart. He raised his paws and pressed them on the marmot's body, tearing the flesh apart with force, chewing and swallowing with big mouthfuls. The marmot's blood got on his face, and some of it splashed into his eyes. He subconsciously closed his eyes, then raised his paws and rubbed them. He still felt a little uncomfortable, but could still bear it.
"What's wrong?" Ross asked when he saw this.
"It's okay." Xu Nian shook his head. He moved closer to the marmot again, tore off a piece of meat and ate it. Then he pushed the marmot towards Los and said, "I can't eat anymore. You eat it."
He lowered his head and licked the fur on his abdomen, shook off the snow on his body, and rubbed his head on the snow on the rock wall and then on the ground to clean the blood-stained fur on his face.
Only then did Los eat up all the remaining marmots in a flash. If it weren't for some large bones that could not be eaten, there would probably not be even a scrap left for the vulture.
After licking its paws, it took Xu Nian back to rest. Maintaining physical strength and reducing consumption was the wisest choice now.
But they can't stay here forever, they still have to hunt. Los has tried his best to prevent Xu Nian from doing any dangerous hunting. Xu Nian is responsible for observing the surroundings and looking for prey, while Los is responsible for chasing and hunting.
The two snow leopards also match well together. At least Los thinks they are a perfect match and should have been together a long time ago!
"Be patient a little longer. Everything will be fine when spring comes." Los rubbed Xu Nian and said, "When spring comes, all kinds of prey will be more abundant."
"It's not so bad, at least better than I thought." Although the current situation is difficult, it is not unbearable. Xu Nian feels that it is still within his acceptable range. His bottom line is that he cannot be injured or seriously injured. Whether it is him or Los, once injured, it means that they have lost the basic ability to survive in the wild, and the probability of survival will drop very low.
For several consecutive days, Los took Xu Nian to hunt on this side of the mountain, which was closer to where the mastiffs were. However, they did not encounter any mastiffs during this period, and it was not known whether Kaie went to find his mastiff friends to play with.
Of course, Los didn't meet Kaie either.
"Kaia seems to have run away recently. Could it be that he has moved to a new nest?" Xu Nian asked.
"I don't know. I haven't noticed it." This is true for Los. His attention has always been on Xu Nian. He is only repulsive and wary of other snow leopards. Kaie is no exception. He is even more wary of Kaie and Xu Nian getting too close.
After hearing this, Xu Nian pondered for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be due to hunger."
"No," Ross said, "It knows the group of mastiffs and can hunt together. It won't starve anyway."
Xu Nian agreed with this point, but unfortunately as a former human being, he was not familiar with mastiffs and could not get close to them, otherwise it would actually be helpful for them to survive this cold winter.
Xu Nian walked along the rock wall with his tail in his mouth. At first glance, there were only bare rocks and steep cliffs. There was almost no trace of other animals walking on it. The only animals like them were wolves, brown bears, and even rare lynxes.
But if one day there really is no food at all, there is no guarantee that these animals will not turn their fangs against each other. Even if there is some risk, it is better than starving to death.
"I think it's best for us to hunt together." Xu Nian told Los his concerns and said, "You can't guarantee if he gets really hungry and doesn't do anything else."
"Okay." Los just thought about it for a moment, and after confirming that Xu Nian's words made sense, he agreed.
We walked down the mountain for a long distance, but there was still no sign of prey. We could only snatch a rabbit caught by a vulture and ate it while the vulture was flying and cursing. But this little bit of food was only enough to fill our stomach a little.
"Los." When Xu Nian was about to speak, he saw Los, who was walking in front of him, suddenly stopped. His eyes fell on a very steep rock wall, which was almost vertical at ninety degrees.
Seeing Los's gaze, Xu Nian immediately understood what Los was trying to do. Without even thinking, he denied it and said, "This won't work. It's too high and too steep. It's too dangerous."
Although Los had often jumped over rock walls to catch mountain goats before, those rock walls at least had some cushioning, but this one was different. There was no cushioning at all, so if he fell down, he would really fall down.
"Are you worried about me?" Los suddenly turned around and asked.
There was a smile in its tone, its tail swaying gently behind it, and it looked at Xu Nian intently, asking a question that it knew the answer to. In the past, it would have disdained such a question, but now that it was its turn to talk about love, it wanted to hear it from Xu Nian's mouth.
Xu Nian was no awkward snow leopard. Before they confirmed their relationship, he knew how to coax this snow leopard. Now he knew even better how to give emotional value. He immediately leaned over and nuzzled Los, his furry ears rubbing against the corners of Los' mouth. He then muttered, "Besides you, who else should I worry about?"
A rhetorical question gave Los the most affirmative answer.
Sure enough, Xu Nian soon saw Los’s tail raised high.
This snow leopard is really easy to coax, the easiest snow leopard to coax in the entire snowfield.
"Look at the side of the rock wall, not the cliff." Los knew what Xu Nian was thinking. He walked behind Xu Nian and asked him to look at the halfway point of the rock wall. He said, "See? There are goat horns."
Xu Nian hadn't noticed it before because it was so far away. Now that Los said this, he immediately took a closer look. It took him a while to realize that there were really sheep horns sticking out from behind the rock wall. If Los didn't have such good eyesight, he would have overlooked it.
The sheep was obviously hiding behind the rock wall and had not been noticed for many years.
"It's only halfway up the mountain, there's no danger." Los glanced at the height. Although it wasn't dangerous for him, climbing up the almost vertical rock face was no easy task for someone like Xu Nian who was a bit afraid of heights. Los said, "Wait for me behind the rock face. I'll be down soon."
In fact, Los had planned to let Xu Nian go back to the nest and wait for him, but Xu Nian's eyes were full of worry. It was obvious that Xu Nian was unwilling to let Los take risks even if they were halfway up the mountain. Los leaned over and kissed Xu Nian, saying, "This is not a difficult thing, it's very simple."
Xu Nian also knew that prey was very difficult to find now, let alone mountain goats. If he missed it this time, he would not know when he would encounter it again.
"Be careful." Xu Nian sighed. "If it's difficult or dangerous, let's not take the risk, okay?"
"Okay, I know." Ross said.
The two snow leopards who were in their first love were always a little clingy and could talk for a long time with just one sentence. It was obviously the same thing as usual, but it just felt different.
Xu Nian couldn't tell exactly what the difference was.
However, just as Los turned and walked up the mountain, Xu Nian was watching his back and obediently found a rock wall to squat on. He looked very cute squatting with his tail in his mouth. Los looked back at him while climbing the mountain, and his heart almost softened.
It quickened its pace to bring the ibex down quickly.
However, just as it was trying to climb, a figure appeared not far away. Luo Yin sniffed it, and it tilted its head slightly and whispered, "Here."
The first thing it saw was the well-behaved and obedient Xu Nian. Following his gaze, it saw Los who was hunting.
No wonder Los likes this snow leopard so much.
Well, it does look good.
