Chapter 122: Steel Pipe Lure Marmot: Fraud! Fraud! ...
Originally, Xu Nian thought Kaie was just talking, but he didn't expect that the snow leopard's ability to move was far beyond Xu Nian's imagination. He had just told Xu Nian about this matter, and it came to his house to ask for food the next day.
Kaie acted alone in this operation to prevent him from escaping in time if he encountered the monster. If he had brought Xu Nian with him, and if Xu Nian was injured during the fight, then Los would probably have to hunt it for a whole year. Kaie couldn't help but shudder at the thought.
Kaier approached the house stealthily with his paws hooked. He first circled around it, as if observing the environment and looking for a good breakthrough point. Then he saw his good friend half-lying on the ground, looking at him blankly.
It was obvious that the group of mastiffs had no idea what Kaier was trying to do. A few of them looked at Kaier curiously and barked a few times. After thinking for a while, Kaier moved closer to them and sniffed hard, but found that the previous smell was gone.
"Woof woof woof!" The mastiffs were very happy. Their master was back and their friends were here too. It was a double happiness!
Kaier immediately raised his furry paws and tentatively approached the house, but was soon attracted by the lambs next to him. He swore that he really had no intention of eating them, but was just a little hungry and wanted to smell them, but definitely not to eat them!
But soon these timid lambs were frightened and trembling. The mastiffs immediately rushed over and stood between Kaier and the lambs. Friends are friends, but duties are duties, and their responsibility is to protect the cattle and sheep.
As if the mastiff's barking was heard, hurried footsteps were heard in the house, and soon the door was opened. An old man rushed out with a stick in his hand. When Kaier saw the familiar old man and the familiar stick, he reacted almost instantly. He turned around quickly and ran towards the snow-capped mountains behind him.
It had been chased away by this old man several times and had already known him very well. It ran while gritting its teeth and roaring: "What's going on! Why is it a different person! It's obviously not him!"
Kai'e was so angry that there was no food as soon as he arrived.
The snow leopard darted across the snow and quickly climbed up the rock face. Then, standing behind the rock, it cautiously observed the old man. It heard the old man shout with all his might, "Go! Go! Don't come near my cattle and sheep!"
Cattle and sheep are very important to herders; they are their lifeblood.
Kaier licked his paws and paced back and forth from the rock face, his eyes fixed on the old man. He muttered to himself somewhat depressedly, "Who wants your cattle and sheep? I didn't even eat a single wool, but I just sniffed it and then they drove me away. How unreasonable."
But even though it walked back and forth cursing like this, it didn't dare to really approach the house again for fear of being beaten. After thinking for a long time, it returned to its nest unwillingly with its tail in its mouth.
Xu Nian, who was rubbing against Los in his den, heard the noise and looked in the direction of the noise. He saw a snow leopard approaching with its ears drooping. Seeing Kai's expression, Xu Nian guessed what it had done and asked in surprise, "Are you serious? Did you really go down the mountain?"
"Of course." Kaie curled up in the snow in frustration, the tip of his tail twitching anxiously twice. He buried his head in the snow and said in a muffled voice, "But I didn't get any prey. The little girl left, and now it's the same guy again. He won't give the snow leopard any food, and he'll even drive it away."
Kai'e's furry ears twitched slightly, and he was obviously really frustrated.
"What down the mountain?" Los didn't know about this. After looking at Kaie, he turned his gaze to Xu Nian, tilted his head slightly, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"Kaie said someone in the house down the mountain gave Luo Yin some food, so he wanted to go get some." Xu Nian omitted the part where Kaie was going to ask him to go with him, and said, "But judging from its appearance, it seems that it didn't find any food."
"If that girl were still here, I'd definitely have something to eat!" Kaie was still a little unwilling and shouted at the top of his voice: "Meat! Meat! I want to eat meat. The leopard is starving to death."
Kaie lowered his head and licked his belly vigorously, then shook his head. He still felt very hungry, even a little weak. His tail drooped and his furry ears drooped slightly because of depression.
In fact, not only Kaie was hungry, Xu Nian and Los were also hungry, but it was difficult for them to find food, and Los's wound had not healed yet. Xu Nian was worried that the wound would split again, and if it did not heal repeatedly, it might get infected.
He forced Los to lie down and rest, and not to hunt recently, and to heal his injuries well. In terms of strength, he definitely could not beat Los, but as long as he looked at Los a few more times, Los would obediently come to Xu Nian's side, rub against him actively, and agree to all of his requests.
It seemed that if he looked at Xu Nian a few more times, the snow leopard would lose all its sanity.
"I'm going hunting." Los struggled to get up, and then Xu Nian threw him into his arms. He lowered his head to look at the obedient Xu Nian in his arms, and reflexively lowered his head to lick him. Then he heard Xu Nian muffled voice: "You promised me, don't go hunting now, take care of your injuries. As for the prey, don't worry, leave it to me."
Xu Nian felt that this statement was a very responsible one. But before he could continue, Los's eyes darkened and he denied it, "You haven't learned how to chase at high speed on the rock wall or dodge in time when encountering emergencies. You don't know anything yet, so forget about it."
"I promise, I will find other ways to catch prey, which will definitely exceed your imagination." As if sensing the strong worry in Los's eyes, he took the initiative to move over to comfort Los and whispered, "I really have a way. I will catch prey for you. Trust me."
Ross was still a little hesitant.
"You said, let me try it myself. If it doesn't work, you can come and cover for me, okay?" Xu Nian nudged Los and took the initiative to say, "Let me try, trust me."
After spending so much time together, Xu Nian already knew what Los liked best. He took the initiative to rub Los's neck and sniffed him gently a few times. Sure enough, Los soon lowered his head to look at Xu Nian, and their eyes met. After a while, he nodded gently and said, "Don't get yourself hurt."
"I understand!" Xu Nian said immediately, "I'm nearby. If there's any danger, I'll run away or call you directly."
The two snow leopards rubbed against each other again, and finally Xu Nian turned around and walked to the other side with Kaie. They stepped on the snow one after the other. When Kaie was about to continue complaining to Xu Nian, he almost slipped with one paw. Fortunately, he grabbed the rock wall next to him in time, arched his back, and used his hind paws to dig at the rock wall, and then he tried to climb up.
Seeing this, Xu Nian pushed it from behind, and it finally climbed up. It looked down with lingering fear, then immediately looked at Xu Nian and said, "Is the steel pipe here?"
"Yes, it seems someone moved it before, anyway, so it's in a new place now." Xu Nian nodded and said seriously, "It's quite useful, but it's a pity that it's a bit cold in winter..."
Xu Nian suddenly paused, as if remembering something. He suddenly turned his head to look at the ordinary steel pipe and immediately moved closer. Seeing this, Kaie quickly grabbed him and said, "Are you crazy? Your tongue was stuck just now, and you dare to do this now?"
"I'm not licking it." Xu Nian said, "I just thought of a good way to hunt."
Kai'e and Xu Nian looked at the steel pipe at the same time. Finally, the two snow leopards looked at each other, and Xu Nian said in a low voice: "Do you understand what I mean?"
Kaier thought for a moment, subconsciously tilting his head slightly. After a few seconds of contemplation, he nodded gently and said, "Okay."
In the end, Xu Nian pushed the steel pipe directly down and onto the snow, but there were rocks nearby, so it did not sink directly into the snow. His tail was shaking gently.
Los also came over to take a look, and saw Xu Nian pushing the steel pipe down. He raised his head and looked at Xu Nian. Seeing that the other party had a determined look, he simply walked over. Seeing this, Kaie, who was standing next to him, obediently held his tail in his mouth and walked to the other side.
After Xu Nian finished this task, he licked his paws proudly and said without turning his head: "Not bad! Just wait, I will show you a lot of prey soon!"
Obviously, neither Kaie nor Ross took this statement too seriously.
The steel pipe fell on the snow, and there was snow next to it. This was in the wild, and this thing was still a new thing in the wild. Not only Kaie didn't know that it would freeze his mouth, even Xu Nian didn't know at first.
But Los knew that he might have picked up something similar.
Three snow leopards were lying in ambush behind the rocks, waiting patiently. Xu Nian's tail was gently shaking, telling him not to move, and he really didn't move at all, except for his tail.
"How long do we have to wait?" Kaie asked in confusion.
"Hunting requires patience." Xu Nian whispered.
Los didn't urge him. He just half-lay beside Xu Nian, looking in the direction of the iron rod, but still no prey came. After thinking for a while, Xu Nian stood up and started digging at the snow, saying, "See if there is any grass or something underneath."
"Grass?" Los asked in doubt, but his claws were more honest than anyone else. He had already begun to diligently search for grass stems and finally found the grass under a piece of snow. Then Xu Nian held the grass in his mouth and carefully approached the steel pipe, and then put the grass on it. Finally, he quickly returned to Los' side and continued to lie there motionless.
"Is that all?" Kaia whispered.
"Let's give it a try first. What if we can catch him?" Xu Nian whispered.
So the three snow leopards continued to lie behind the rock and wait. While waiting, Kaie inevitably thought of Luo Yin again. Luo Yin was really a snow leopard that the snow leopards envied. In short, Kaie wished that all the dried meat that Luo Yin ate could go into his stomach.
Just when Kaie was feeling drowsy, he suddenly heard some movement beside him. He opened his eyes alertly and saw Xu Nian and Los staring intently at the steel pipe.
Two marmots came from nowhere, and they seemed to be a little curious about this place. What really attracted them were the grass stems on it. After thinking it over again and again, they approached the steel pipe very cautiously, then carefully observed the surroundings, and finally tentatively approached and ate a few grasses.
They soon felt that there should be no danger here, so they immediately lowered their heads and licked it. As a result, the two marmots soon discovered a very important problem, that is, their tongues were frozen.
The marmot's eyes showed confusion, and then he immediately became anxious. He hurriedly pushed with his claws, trying to free himself, but the more he did so, the tighter he actually stuck.
The two marmots immediately cried for help, but their companions didn't come. Instead, one, two, three... three snow leopards emerged from behind the rocks. Xu Nian walked over to the marmots, observed them carefully, and said, "Nice catch! Let's take them away!"
The two marmots were quickly killed by the snow leopard's fangs and then dragged away.
