Chapter 88 Secretly kissing Xu Nian: Let’s go to bed!
"First, I ran over to the mastiffs and saw they were chewing on their food. They must have just finished eating, and two of them were playing with bones."
"So, I made a decision that went against my conscience. I swore, 'I usually don't grab a dog's toy because I've been bitten by a dog before, and I was chased and bitten.' But this time was different. Without thinking too much, I just rushed over, grabbed the dog bone they were playing with, and ran away."
Xu Nian turned his head to look at Los, sighed deeply, and added, "At first, they were just looking at me in surprise, and had no intention of chasing me. But when I was running away, I didn't notice that they were huddled together behind a rock. I don't know what they were doing, and part of their tails were exposed. I didn't look at the road when I ran, and I stepped on their tails..."
Xu Nian was also helpless. He was only concerned about escaping at that time. He never thought that the group of dogs were hiding behind the rocks and no one knew what they were doing. Only their tails were left exposed. As a snow leopard, he usually ran on the rocks and escaped up and down, so this time was no exception.
He just wanted to lure a few mastiffs to deal with the wolves, and he was not prepared to be torn to pieces by the mastiffs. So after grabbing the bones, he escaped to the rocks, ready to slip away quickly, but he didn't expect to step on the mastiff's tail when he came down.
For a moment, the dogs barked and cursed, one after another, as if they were determined to fight Xu Nian to the death, and then they turned around and chased after Xu Nian.
When Xu Nian said this, he was squatting on the snow. He tilted his head slightly, looking aggrieved and timid. Los couldn't say anything and could only lean over and lick him.
Los also noticed Xu Nian's big furry paws. Although the snow leopard's claws were very soft and looked like a big furry ball, in fact, if he pawed down with this claw, it would probably be quite difficult for the mastiffs.
As a snow leopard whose tail was almost bitten and seriously injured, Los has the most say on the issue of tail injuries. He knows too well the feeling of extreme anger after a tail injury. After all, he anxiously licked his bitten tail while vowing to teach the snow leopard who dared to bite his tail a lesson!
Now it seems... this snow leopard that bit its own tail is indeed quite beautiful.
It’s just that this one looks different from that one, but so what? Los has already forgotten what he said anyway.
"That's dangerous." Los still disagreed. He said, "What if you don't outrun them?"
"Then I have no choice." Xu Nian knew that Los still did not approve of his return. He gently wagged his tail and said, "You always tell me to escape, you say you are fine, but what if something happens to you? What should I do then?"
His eyes were very beautiful, but at that moment, a hint of confusion shone through them. He looked at Los and whispered, "I will stay alone in this cave. You only taught me how to hunt and escape, but not how to fight. Then I will be bullied by other snow leopards, or even surrounded by wolves or mastiffs. I might even be blown off a cliff by a vulture's wings."
A vulture happened to pass by, flapping its wings, as if it was preparing to see if there was any carrion to eat. After hearing the noise, it turned around and saw Los's very unfriendly gaze. It suddenly felt that it should not go out today, and immediately flapped its wings and flew away.
"My life will be very miserable. Maybe I will die alone here, waiting for you to come back, and then one day I won't even know I'll be buried in the snow." The miserable life that Xu Nian described made Los feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it for the time being. The hair on his tail was only standing on end. It was obvious that he couldn't accept that Xu Nian would live such a difficult life.
After all, it raised this beautiful furry snow leopard not to make it suffer.
"Unless..." Xu Nian thought for a moment. Los looked up at him, and then he heard Xu Nian continue: "Unless I go looking for Luo Yin, just like when there was a snowstorm and Luo Yin asked me to come find you, then if you leave me now, will you also ask me to look for Luo Yin?"
"That won't work." Los refused without even thinking, and said firmly: "No!"
As soon as it finished speaking, Xu Nian buried it in his chest. Xu Nian tried to rub it, looking dependent, and said: "So no matter what time, don't take risks alone. Without you, my leopard life has no meaning."
What Xu Nian said was so touching. Los had never heard such words before. The expression of shock on his face was almost motionless. There was a complex meaning in his eyes. As Xu Nian whimpered softly for the last time, he leaned over and kissed Xu Nian.
Although he knew that the snow leopard in front of him was speaking half truths and half lies, Los always fell in love with him while being sober. He knew everything, but he just couldn't refuse. It was as if he had become addicted to Xu Nian. He completely forgave the other party with just one look and could forgive anything.
"We have to be careful next time we encounter those wolves," Xu Nian said. "They are too cunning."
"At first I thought this trap was for the dogs, but now I think about it, it might not be." Los was silent for a moment before he spoke. "During the battle, I wanted to leave directly from the rock face, but they had wolves ambushed behind the rock face. The dogs definitely couldn't get up there, so we were the only ones who could. So from the beginning, this trap was set for us."
"We?" Xu Nian hadn't thought of this before. He frowned and asked in confusion, "We don't seem to have had any conflicts with the wolves, right?"
"Kill off competitors, and the fewer competitors there are, the more likely we are to survive," Los said. "Because there's only so much prey."
After hearing this, Xu Nian understood the wolves' motives without Los explaining anything further. He was shocked and helpless, but he couldn't help but marvel at the wolves' insidiousness and cunningness once again.
Xu Nian thought again of the mastiff that had chased the wolves into the forest. Xu Nian had a vague feeling that the mastiff might suffer heavy losses this time.
Mastiffs are good at frontal combat and are accustomed to solving problems by fighting directly and fiercely. They are the easiest to fall into traps. After all, when humans raised them, they only needed to follow orders. But now that they encounter wolves, they are obviously at a great disadvantage.
At this moment, the mastiff that had been chasing the wolf pack deep into the snow-capped mountains ran inside and found that there was no trace of the wolf pack. The wolf that stayed in the front suddenly stopped and no longer ran away. Instead, it turned around and looked at the mastiff, tilting its head slightly.
The mastiffs looked at each other and felt something was wrong. The most impulsive one even wanted to go forward and bite, but was stopped by his companions.
Then they found that groups of wolves appeared on the rock wall and surrounded them. Then one of the mastiffs felt something was wrong under its claws.
With them as the center, I stepped on the ice, but cracks began to appear around it.
This was the weakest spot on the ice, and it wouldn't be too risky to just fly over it like a pack of wolves, but these mastiffs were quite heavy, and they stood together in one place, causing the ice to crack immediately.
The leading wolf king looked down at them, lowered his head to lick his paws, and let out a long wolf howl, as if calling the white wolf that had been buried in the wind and snow.
The wolves are avenging it.
…
"Will there be other snow leopards heading this way?" Xu Nian was also exhausted after a long day, mainly due to the intense tension. He was simply too tired. He watched the blizzard that showed no sign of stopping. He twitched his tail slightly, leaned over and nuzzled Los, half-lying beside him, and muttered, "When will it stop?"
"It's still early." Ross said.
Xu Nian really felt that life as a wild animal was not easy. Their daily lives were not guaranteed and were always accompanied by danger and death. He and Los, two furry snow leopards, huddled together, watching the blizzard outside, listening to the howling of wolves and barking of dogs in the wind, as well as the sound of vultures breaking through the wind as they flew by.
Although it was very cold outside, Los's body was very warm. Xu Nian was so comfortable that he half-closed his eyes. Occasionally, his furry ears would twitch slightly. When he looked outside with half-open eyes, he whispered, "Will we go back when spring comes?"
"Whatever you say." Los turned his head and licked Xu Nian's ears. The snow leopard's furry ears were a little sensitive. As soon as Los licked them, Xu Nian's ears immediately twitched twice. Just when Los thought Xu Nian didn't like it, he saw Xu Nian suddenly hook up his front paws, then flipped his body sideways and lay directly on the ground. He said with a comfortable look on his face, "Don't think too much, let's go to bed."
His furry tail was hooked up directly, covering his abdomen, and he held the tip of the tail in his arms, as if he was lying on his back on the ground, with all four paws holding his tail tightly.
The marmot bones they had eaten before were still outside. The two vultures landed on them and lowered their heads to clean the rotten meat on them. This was their food, and they would fight over it from time to time.
The two vultures seemed to have searched for a long time before they found some food here. Just when they finished eating and were about to continue searching, they heard the low roar of the snow leopard coming from the cave. The vultures immediately flapped their wings and left, not planning to stay here any longer.
"Wait until spring..." Xu Nian was actually a little sleepy. He turned sideways and slept next to Los, feeling safe, especially since he had been on the verge of life and death the whole day. Fortunately, he had a good psychological endurance now, otherwise he would have slipped to his knees when the mastiff growled at him just now.
"Spring what?" Los only heard this. He was waiting for Xu Nian to continue speaking, but he didn't hear his voice. When he turned around, he saw that the other party had lowered his head and had fallen asleep with his eyes closed, looking very comfortable.
Los stared at him for a while, then leaned over and gently kissed Xu Nian's furry ears.
