Chapter 121: Raising a snow leopard? Xu Nian: This idea is punishable by punishment! ...
The little girl didn't notice that there was a snow leopard looking at them in the distance, and Luo Yin was only focused on running towards the snow-capped mountains, and didn't notice at all that another snow leopard was looking at the small house with a thoughtful expression.
Kaie lay behind the rock and watched Luo Yin finish eating the dried meat and then run out. He smelled the fragrance and recognized the bowl. The mastiffs used to eat from it.
"It's delicious." Kaie licked the fur on his side, half lying on the rock, looking at the direction where Luo Yin left with some envy. After thinking for a long time, he jumped down from the rock and tried to get closer to the small house to get some food.
But unfortunately, the food was not obtained and the little girl was discovered by the mastiff that had been following her. If Kaier had not run fast, there would have been another fight.
It gritted its teeth and had to avoid this place temporarily. After circling around it a few times, it returned empty-handed and felt even more envious of Luo Yin.
After returning, Kaie's mind was still on the dried meat. He had eaten some of it before. It was given to him by the mastiff. It tasted really good. It was a pity that these humans were unwilling to raise snow leopards, which was really worrying for the leopards.
"What are you thinking about? Your tail's been wagging all night." Xu Nian and Los lay together, watching Kai's tail wagging all night. Xu Nian couldn't help but ask, "You felt something was wrong since you came back from the mountain."
"You don't understand." Kaie sighed. If he couldn't figure it out, Xu Nian, a half-baked snow leopard, would definitely not understand it.
Xu Nian looked at Kai'er's mysterious look and tilted his head slightly with some curiosity, but then he remembered Kai'er's unreliable behavior and dismissed his curiosity.
"Xu Nian." Kaie tried to hold back, but couldn't help it. When he was about to crawl to Xu Nian's side to talk to him about this matter, he heard a slight growl coming from the side.
Kaie paused for a moment, doubting whether he had heard it wrong. When he looked up at Los, he saw that the other party was looking at the snow, looking calm and peaceful.
"Xunian." Kaie tried to move forward again, but soon he heard the low growl again, as if it was a warning squeezed out from between the teeth. Kaie suspected that it was made by Los, because Xu Nian's curious look with his head tilted made it impossible for him to make such a sound.
So after a few minutes of silence, Kaie quickly approached Xu Nian, and his claws almost touched Xu Nian's back, but he didn't, not because he didn't want to, but because he was almost bitten on the claw by Los without warning.
"I knew it!" Kaie said angrily, "You just want to bite me!"
Luo Si sneered and moved closer to Xu Nian. He said calmly, "Why can't you just stand there and say it? Why do you have to lean over to Xu Nian's ear and say it?"
Kaie swore that he just wanted to get closer to Xu Nian. It was not like they had never lain down together before, but it was obvious that Los was more sensitive now. He didn't know how Xu Nian could tolerate such a sensitive and irritable snow leopard.
It glanced at Xu Nian and said, "You are still the best."
Xu Nian tilted his head in confusion, not knowing what Kaie was referring to.
This incident did not end there. Instead, it left a deep impression on Kaier. The aroma of the dried meat was enough to make Kaier drool. In the middle of the night, he licked his paws and sighed, "I'm so hungry."
…
"Grandpa, Asa and I are going back!" A car drove up. The little girl got in with the black-faced mastiff and waved to the old man who stayed behind, shouting, "Be careful and take care of yourself!"
"Okay!" The old man looked a little dark. He waved his hand and stood there until the car disappeared from his sight. Then he turned his head to look at his remaining mastiffs. He touched them with some heartache and counted them carefully. He found that a lot of them were missing, but he also knew that this was unavoidable.
There was an earthquake here, and he only came back after he had recovered. These mastiffs were only close to him, and other people didn't dare to come or feed them. Fortunately, these mastiffs survived this period and finally waited for their owner to return.
In addition to the old man, a group of calves also returned. The old man repaired the fence and built a cattle pen, preparing to raise the cattle so that they could supplement the family income in the future.
The mastiffs hadn't seen their owner for a long time and missed him very much. They followed the old man around and barked from time to time.
"How did you survive all these days when I was away?" The old man stroked his dogs, hugging them as if they were his own children. Then he looked at the paw prints left on the snow. His brow furrowed, and he immediately went forward to examine them. He measured them with his hand and asked cautiously, "Is it a snow leopard? A snow leopard was here?!"
Snow leopards are nationally protected animals, but for herders, snow leopards are very ferocious and will attack cattle and sheep. Herders need to rely on cattle and sheep to survive, and sometimes snow leopards are really a headache.
The mastiffs were very excited and were running around while the old man was building the fence. The cattle and sheep were a little scared of them, so they stayed in the pen and refused to come out.
"Woof woof woof! Woof woof! Woof woof woof!" The mastiffs barked at each other. It had been so lively for a long time.
The snow leopards on the snow-capped mountains didn't know this yet. Because Los's wound was torn, Xu Nian didn't want it to continue hunting and needed it to heal its wound. So Xu Nian and Kaie took on the responsibility of patrolling and hunting.
Kai'e finally found a chance to walk with Xu Nian. He wagged his tail and said, "Los's temper is getting worse and worse. He almost bit me."
"You're too close." Xu Nian sighed and said, "If you move any closer, you can bite my ear."
"Isn't that just a secret?" Kaie immediately put the matter behind him and quickly told him what he had seen. "I told you, I saw Luo Yin yesterday. It came out of the small house over there with the mastiffs. It must have eaten something. How do you think it managed to get humans to give it food?"
Hearing this, Xu Nian was still searching around to see if there were any rabbit holes or marmot nests, but he found nothing. Suddenly hearing Kaie's words, he stopped in his tracks, turned to look at Kaie, and asked, "Did humans give you food?"
"Yeah, I was always chased away every time I went there before. How come it gets food when it goes there?" Kaier licked his paw and said indignantly, "That's too much. We're all snow leopards, why shouldn't I have anything to eat?"
Kai'e was really hungry. He was so hungry that he bit his tail when he slept at night.
This reminded Xu Nian, who thought about it very seriously. He turned his head and looked at Kai'e seriously, asking, "Are you sure humans really gave it to Luo Yin to eat?"
"It's absolutely true!" Kaie nodded and said, "It's true!"
Xu Nian thought for a moment and said, "Is it the person who drove you away before?"
"I don't know." Kaie shook his head, licked his paw, and said, "Why do humans only keep mastiffs and not us snow leopards? Are we not strong enough? Or are we not good-looking enough? That's impossible!"
Xu Nian, who was still thinking, subconsciously glanced at Kaie when he heard this. Seeing that he was not joking, he asked in surprise: "Are you serious?"
"Of course it's true." Kaie tilted his furry head and said, "Just feed me for the winter. I'll hunt on my own in spring, summer, and autumn. I'm pretty easy to feed."
Xu Nian: ...
"I think it's probably not because humans don't want to raise them." Xu Nian said with some difficulty: "Is this what you are talking about..."
Kaie's idea is really to send people to jail, and he can be tortured and handcuffed. The snow leopard is also a national protected wild animal. I don't know how many years of imprisonment will be imposed if someone raises it privately.
The two snow leopards had completely different thoughts, but they sighed at the same time.
The two of them searched all around and emptied countless rabbit holes but couldn't find a single rabbit. In the end, they returned empty-handed. Only then did Xu Nian truly realize how difficult it is for wild animals to survive in winter.
Snow leopards, who are at the top of the food chain, have a hard time surviving, let alone other small animals.
