Chapter 143 Chapter 143 Leopards and leopards stick together, next to them...
Leopards are stuck together, with a half-sheep next to them.
After eating and drinking, Xu Nian and Los like to stick together. Their fur flutters in the wind. Sometimes Xu Nian will even gently shake his tail behind him. Such a long and big tail is difficult to shake, but it does not prevent him from swaying slightly, indicating that he is in a good mood.
When he moved closer to Los and licked his neck with his tongue, Los' ears gently pressed back, and then he raised his neck, allowing Xu Nian to lick his fur messily.
"Where do you think Kai'e will go?" Xu Nian tilted his head and licked his fur, ruffling it again after Los had just smoothed it out. Seeing this, Los leaned over to comb Xu Nian's fur again. Hearing Xu Nian's words, one of his ears twitched slightly. After thinking for two seconds, he said, "I don't know. Maybe he's looking for a new den, or maybe he's going to visit his mastiff friend."
This made a lot of sense. Xu Nian nodded and said, "It's also possible that the mastiff won't have to wander anymore, and the grandfather who raised the mastiff will come back. We won't have to fight with the mastiff anymore. This is simply the best thing that can happen."
A single mastiff may not be that scary, but mastiffs often appear in groups, especially those abandoned ones, which are simply a disaster for other animals.
Even snow leopards have to temporarily avoid the attack. There have even been cases where snow leopards have encountered dozens of mastiffs, and no matter how powerful they are, they have to avoid them.
As soon as Xu Nian finished speaking, he lay down on the grass. He was not good at licking the fur and often ate a lot of fur. He also found that Los's fur was more prone to tangles due to his careful care, so he had to give up the idea of continuing to lick Los's fur.
But Luo Si seemed to like this way of expressing love. He leaned over and licked Xu Nian, and even took the initiative to move his body closer to Xu Nian, trying to get Xu Nian to lick his fur, and then he took the initiative to lick Xu Nian's fur as well.
"Niannian..." Just as Los was about to speak, he heard confusion in Xu Nian's voice. He seemed to be staring ahead, as if he saw something. He asked in confusion, "Luo Si, look ahead. Why do I feel like there's something ahead? Take a look."
Upon hearing this, Los immediately followed Xu Nian's gaze and saw a group of people walking towards him like mastiffs.
Xu Nian's face suddenly turned a little ugly. He raised his furry paws and rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had seen it wrong. After all, he hadn't seen a mastiff for a long time, not to mention that this place was far away from the original place of the mastiff. Los had lived here for a long time and had never seen a mastiff, otherwise he would not have known that this was a mastiff when he saw it.
"Mastiff?" Los was no less surprised than Xu Nian Shao, but he stood up and took a step forward, frowning, and said, "Something doesn't feel right."
"Of course something is wrong." Xu Nian also stood up and said, "This place is too far away from where we saw the mastiffs before. It is almost impossible for them to come from there. These mastiffs must be unfamiliar mastiffs."
But this is not what Xu Nian is most worried about. What he is most worried about is that the appearance of mastiffs is often closely related to humans. He is not sure whether the appearance of mastiffs means that there are humans nearby, or that humans will arrive soon.
But when the group of mastiffs gradually approached them, Los tilted his head slightly, turned his head and said to Xu Nian: "Niannian, you go to the mountain."
"What about you?" Xu Nian asked.
"I'm behind you," Ross said. "Go up there and observe what these mastiffs are doing. Nian Nian, let's go."
Xu Nian also felt that something was wrong, so he immediately stood up and walked up the mountain wall at a fast pace, and then he and Los stood on the rock wall and looked down.
The group of mastiffs were moving quite fast. Xu Nian and Los just waited for a while before they saw one of the mastiffs suddenly running towards them. It looked quite young and stood below, sniffing around, as if trying to determine what kind of wild beast had been here before and whether it had left.
"It's checking to see if there are any wolves or snow leopards here." Xu Nian could probably guess. He squatted on the rock wall, gently wagging his tail, and said, "I feel that this one is not thin, but it is definitely not the group of mastiffs we know. These ones look more like strays, and they look a bit fierce."
Mastiffs are naturally large and intimidating, and most people would run away when they see one. Xu Nian squatted on the rock wall and watched for a long time, observing the mastiff. He saw that the mastiff sniffed around here and then turned and left. After a while, the group of mastiffs came over. It was not difficult to see that the mastiff just came here to explore the way.
This group of mastiffs have taken good care of themselves. They are a group of real stray mastiffs. They all have scars from battles, which are worth showing off to them.
"They can't climb up, but be careful when hunting." Los took a look at the group of mastiffs and knew very well that their biggest role was to keep an eye on the herdsmen's sheep on the endless grassland to prevent wolves from attacking the herdsmen's sheep.
But this was also discovered by my grandfather before.
"What are you thinking about?" Los finished speaking and was about to leave when he noticed Xu Nian was still staring at the mastiff below, as if he was thinking about something. Seeing this, the mastiff simply came over and licked Xu Nian's face, saying, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking..." Xu Nian thought for two seconds, then said after some deliberation: "This group of mastiffs..."
He was thinking that since these mastiffs could be kept in captivity to guard sheep, could he use the same method to keep these mastiffs around and use them to herd sheep?
That’s right, shepherding sheep.
But when the words came to his lips, he quickly rejected the idea, his tail wagging gently behind him. Not to mention that this idea was a little difficult to realize, if there was no prey in winter, how would he feed these mastiffs?
Moreover, mastiffs are loyal to humans, but I have never heard of mastiffs being loyal to snow leopards. It is good enough if they don't fight when they meet them.
"They won't stay here for long." Los thought Xu Nian was worried about the mastiffs. He stood up and walked to the edge, observing them carefully. After a while, he said, "Even if they want to find a den, this is not a good place to build a den. They can easily encounter brown bears."
When this was mentioned, Xu Nian remembered that he and Los had encountered a brown bear before. If the leopard had not reacted quickly, it would have been dead.
"You said they have come here, so how far away can humans be?" Xu Nian asked.
"Don't you want humans to come here?" Los noticed the worry in Xu Nian's tone and said a little surprised: "I thought you would like humans very much."
It's no wonder that Los was wrong. After all, Xu Nian looked honest and well-behaved when he squatted in front of the old man, and he was indeed very close to the old man. But now it seems that Xu Nian is not looking forward to the arrival of humans.
"Leopards are different from each other, and people are different from each other. Not everyone is like the old grandfather." Xu Nian sighed. After all, Los had seen too few humans. He had only seen the little girl and the old grandfather, and both of them were good people. But in fact, there were many bad people as well, otherwise how could there be so many abandoned mastiffs.
He realized this and quickly said to Los, "You have to remember, not everyone is a good person, so if you encounter a human, you must hide. Don't attack them, and don't get close to them. We just... just stay away from them."
Stay away from humans to stay safe.
Although he didn't know why Xu Nian was so nervous, since Xu Nian said so, Los immediately leaned over and licked him, saying, "Okay, I understand."
Its tail swayed slightly behind it, as if it agreed with Xu Nian's words.
"I hope these mastiffs are just passing through." Xu Nian lowered his eyes and said, "The fault lies with the irresponsible people who abandoned them."
Xu Nian always felt that it was not a good thing when this group of mastiffs came to Los's territory.
The sky gradually darkened, and the two snow leopards returned to their den. The pack of mastiffs really couldn't get up to such a high place. Los held Xu Nian in his arms and licked his back, but Xu Nian didn't fall asleep until midnight.
He always felt like he had overlooked something, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
