Chapter 112 Xu Nian, tell the truth Xu Nian: It’s over, it’s over, I’m exposed...
Xu Nian lay in his nest with his fur a little messy. He had just experienced a thrilling kidnapping incident. After he came to his senses, he was still a little frightened and realized how dangerous his actions were.
If Luo Yin had not been fooled, if Luo Yin had caught up with him and he had not hidden behind Los, if he had not realized that it was Luo Yin and not Los, then he would have been kidnapped by now.
"Oh." Xu Nian let out a heavy sigh.
"Aren't you asleep yet?" Los noticed at the first moment that Xu Nian seemed to be unable to sleep. He leaned over and licked Xu Nian. As if he remembered what Xu Nian had said before, he immediately gave him a kiss.
The kissing, clinging and licking made Xu Nian a little overwhelmed. If his body was not covered with hair, he would have turned red all over.
"I'm...thinking about what happened during the day." Xu Nian quickly returned the kiss, finally stopping Los's behavior. His already messy fur was now even messier. He lowered his head, licked his paw, and said, "How did Luo Yin know I was here? He actually lied to me again."
"It must have been because it didn't ask me about your whereabouts last time, so it searched everywhere and smelled you." Los's face darkened. "It's not a good snow leopard."
Listening to Los's words, Xu Nian couldn't help but look at it and asked in surprise, "Have you encountered it before?"
Los' whole body froze for a moment, and he subconsciously raised his claws to scratch himself, then turned his eyes away and did not answer Xu Nian's words. The word "guilty" was almost written on his face.
Xu Nian thought about it for a moment and understood why Los did this. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then it is indeed a bad snow leopard."
Snow leopards are easy to coax, and those with bad tempers are even easier to coax. Just stroke their fur and they will be coaxed.
"What happened after it tricked you last time?" Los asked several times, but Xu Nian's answers were vague. This time, Los asked seriously, "Did it push you off the cliff?"
These were originally words Xu Nian used to provoke Luo Yin. When he said this, Los was not around, but when he heard the other party suddenly ask this question, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"That might be revenge for me. I kicked it down before." Los said angrily, "It actually bullied you."
"No... no." Xu Nian explained quickly: "That's not the case. There was an avalanche before, and it picked me up. I thought it was you, so I followed it, because I can't smell the difference between you and it..."
Xu Nian squatted on the ground and said honestly, "But it didn't explain. It occupied the nest and wouldn't let me sleep in it. It made me sleep in the snow, exposed to the wind and snow. It was very cold to me. I thought it was you and was sad for a long time. But luckily it wasn't you who was so cold and heartless to me, otherwise I would have been really sad."
It's easy to coax a snow leopard with just a few words, but Los just loves it.
"Later, when we encountered danger, it didn't abandon me, but it said that you didn't teach me well and ruined me." Xu Nian felt a little aggrieved when he said this. He lowered his head and looked pitiful.
Xu Nian was getting into the role a little bit. If he looked up, he could see that Los tilted his head slightly, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
It always felt that these words were so familiar, as if it had said them itself.
But at that time Xu Nian said that he and Luo Yin were very good friends, but he didn't know how to hunt, so Los looked down on Xu Nian.
"But all these things are in the past. Even if I was hungry and cold, even if I missed you, even if I was chased by wolves and hit by bears, I accepted it, because if I hadn't fallen off the cliff, I wouldn't have met you again, Los. It's all worth it to meet you." Xu Nian said with a deep affection.
He himself did not realize that his expression was so natural and sincere.
In response, Los came over and licked him hard. His furry ears trembled slightly, and his beautiful eyes were half closed, allowing Los to lick and nibble on his neck.
The animal's most deadly part was defenselessly exposed to Los, which showed its absolute trust in Los. However, Los remembered that the other party had exposed its belly shortly after seeing him, and he couldn't help but sigh softly, and felt a little funny.
At this moment, Kaie, who had been beaten and thrown out, crawled out from behind the snow and limped out from behind the rock. He saw Los and Xu Nian huddled together and whispering.
It now has some psychological trauma when it sees Los. It feels that these two brothers are not good snow leopards, at least not friendly snow leopards. So, seeing this, Xu Nian's furry and well-behaved appearance instantly becomes much more pleasing to the eye.
However, Kaie also remembered that he forgot to tell Xu Nian something a few days ago. He forgot to tell Xu Nian that he had met Luo Yin, but there was no point in saying it now because Xu Nian already knew it.
Without waiting for Xu Nian and Los to speak, Kaie took a step and very tactfully jumped out of Los's sight and disappeared from Xu Nian and Los's vision.
"Actually, Kai'e is a pretty good snow leopard," Xu Nian said impartially. "He even specifically reminded me that the rabbit hive over there was empty."
"It must have dug an empty nest itself," said Los.
However, if it were other snow leopards, they would usually take care of themselves and would not care about what their companions did at all. But Kaie gave them a rare reminder. Regardless of whether he played a role or not, he was still a good snow leopard.
Interrupted by the sudden appearance of Kaie, Los swallowed back what he was about to say and did not mention it again.
At this moment, the barking of mastiffs and the howling of wolves could be heard in the distance. Los took a few steps forward, his furry ears pricked up. After listening for a while, he said, "It must be the mastiffs and wolves meeting again."
When these two enemies meet, there is bound to be a fight. In fact, when Xu Nian was a human being, he would usually avoid such fighting situations to prevent accidental injury to innocent people. He was worried that he would become the "innocent" one, but he did not have the ability to cover for himself, so he would usually avoid it if possible and never cause trouble for himself.
He has always been a very cautious person.
But now he is a snow leopard, and there is a purebred wild snow leopard beside him. The other party is innately curious, and after hearing the sound, it kept looking in that direction.
"Do you want to go and take a look?" Xu Nian asked.
"Okay." Los said, "Let's move a little further away and see what's going on. And by the way, see if there's any prey near the wolves."
Logically speaking, with so many wolves needing to live, the places they choose will more or less have some prey, at least much more than in the mountains.
Two snow leopards walked towards the place where the sound came from, one in front and one behind. They did not rush over to join in the fun, but used the rock wall to hide their bodies and found a relatively close place to watch the fight between the wolves and dogs from a high place. Both sides looked a little fierce. After all, there was a blood feud between them that could not be reconciled.
But Xu Nian noticed that there was a smaller figure among the wolves and dogs. He looked closely and found that it was a snow leopard cub, and it looked somewhat familiar.
"It's Muhe's cub," Los said calmly. "It must have gotten lost while going down the mountain, or it might have rolled down the cliff. It looks like it injured its paw."
The little cub was surrounded in the middle, feeling a little nervous. It limped with its paws hooked, and made frightened and fierce meows. However, the threat posed by this cub was not threatening at all to the wolves and dogs. If it was an adult snow leopard, they might even be a little afraid.
"Where is Mu He?" Xu Nian asked.
"I don't know, I didn't see it." Although they are all snow leopards, they like to live alone, so they live far apart to avoid causing unnecessary trouble. Los wagged his tail gently, standing on the rock wall and looking at the situation below, his eyes seemed a little indifferent.
Xu Nian was powerless. He was very clear about his own strength and could only do what he could. He looked at the struggling cub with some regret.
"That cub's paw was injured and it's unlikely to survive." Ross added: "Muhe has another cub. It has to ensure the safety of all its cubs. This one is already unlikely to survive."
Although Xu Nian knew this situation, he still felt it was a pity, so he nodded.
However, just when both sides were extremely tense and the battle was about to break out, a snow leopard suddenly rushed into the battle. Xu Nian and Los looked at each other and found that it was Mu He. However, it did not bring the other cub with it. Instead, it broke into the encirclement formed by the wolves and mastiffs alone, trying to take away its injured cub.
The mastiffs were nervous for a moment because of its intrusion. After all, there were many fights between mastiffs and snow leopards in the past, and Kaier was just an exception.
But when the mastiffs discovered that there was only this one snow leopard, and that it was protecting its injured cub, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Just as the battle was about to begin again, Xu Nian approached Los and whispered, "Can they climb so high?"
"Yes, but it's quite difficult." Los looked at the height between himself and Xu Nian, and then said, "Neither wolves nor mastiffs are very good at climbing mountains, so they usually live at the foot of the mountains."
"Okay..." A plan immediately formed in Xu Nian's mind. It was a thank you to Mu He for finding a nest for them before, and he also specifically informed them that a very powerful snow leopard was coming, so they should be careful.
However, this plan cannot guarantee that Mu He and the cubs can be rescued. It can only be said that it is a try. This is all Xu Nian can do. He must do his best within his ability, but he cannot sacrifice himself and Los for it.
He leaned close to Los's ear and whispered a few words. Los looked at Xu Nian in surprise, then looked down the mountain. Finally, he nodded and said, "Okay."
It did not object to Xu Nian's words, and even rubbed Xu Nian gently, with a hint of indulgence in its eyes.
Amid the howling of wolves and barking of dogs, a low growl of a snow leopard was suddenly heard. This sound was not made by Mu He, so the wolves and mastiffs immediately turned their attention to Xu Nian.
Los once again let out a low, intimidating growl. Actually, Xu Nian also wanted to help, but his growl was worse than no growl at all. After thinking about it, he gave up.
Mu He is a smart snow leopard. It almost immediately understood what Los and Xu Nian meant, and responded with a low growl. Sure enough, the suspicious wolves looked at each other. They suspected that the snow leopards were going to join the battle.
If it were just Muhe and his cubs, the wolves and mastiffs might not let them go, but if there were other snow leopards growling around to support them, it meant that these snow leopards were allowed to pass.
There were few snow leopards traveling together, but there were some. After all, they had seen two male snow leopards living together, so what was impossible?
"They're wavering." Xu Nian's sharp eyes immediately noticed the hesitation of the wolves and mastiffs and said, "Just a few more words of support will be enough."
This was just to let Los bark a few times to give the wolves an illusion so that they could take the opportunity to rescue Mu He. However, Xu Nian and Los would not fight, as their friendship was not close enough to require a life-and-death battle.
They can fight for each other, but they won't risk their lives for everything. Being able to do this is actually pretty good.
Mu He took the opportunity to escape the encirclement with the cub in his mouth. Seeing this, Xu Nian also breathed a sigh of relief. He half-lay on the rock, gently shaking his tail, slightly squinting his eyes. It was obvious that he had done a good thing and was in a good mood.
"In a good mood?" Ross asked.
"Of course." Xu Nian licked his paw and said, "By the way, what were you going to ask me before? After Kaie interrupted you, you didn't say anything."
Originally, Los was about to not mention it, but suddenly Xu Nian brought up the matter himself. Los turned his head and looked at him, and his eyes made Xu Nian feel that something was wrong.
Sure enough, he soon heard Los approaching and asking, "You said those things Luo Yin did... but didn't you say before that you two were very good friends? Why didn't it recognize you for who you are?"
Xu Nian, who was just licking his paws leisurely, suddenly felt his back stiffen. He had been living such a comfortable life these past few days that he had forgotten his original intention!
He subconsciously raised his head and looked at Ross. Just as he revealed a timid and obedient expression, he saw the other party said angrily and amusedly: "Speak properly and don't lie."
Xu Nian's tail snapped off, and he sniffed. Finally, under Los's gaze, he drooped his ears and said, "Okay, okay, I'll tell the truth."
Xu Nian counted what he had said and felt a little embarrassed. He couldn't help but step on the snow with his claws. On the other side, Los was waiting leisurely for Xu Nian to tell the truth.
There was a hint of mockery in its eyes. It was obvious that it didn't care what Xu Nian said at all. As long as Xu Nian said it, it would be fine.
It really likes Xu Nian's slightly naughty look.
