Chapter 209

In the following days, Chen Xing secretly discovered several dates between the ferret mother and her boyfriend.

But it was only a few times. After a few days, the unfamiliar ferret male never appeared in the sight of the ferret mother and Chen Xing again.

For animals, most of the “love” between the opposite **** is like this. There is no so-called love in human mouths, and most of them are prompted by the instinct of reproduction.

Because of this, the ferret mother has no strange emotions at all, and she still behaves the same as usual in front of Chen Xing’s cubs.

Seeing that the unfamiliar male ferret no longer appeared, Chen Xing was completely relieved.

Many males will try to kill all the cubs they meet that do not belong to him. Chen Xing had been worried that this strange male cub might be bad for his siblings, but fortunately, this worry never happened.

Now that the male ferret finally no longer appears, this possibility has been completely eliminated. Chen Xing is naturally relieved for himself, his siblings and the ferret mother.

If this might really happen, the mother ferret will certainly not sit idly by, so this may also be dangerous to her.

The unfamiliar male ferret who had been alerted by Chen Xing disappeared, and the cubs and the ferret mother continued to live as usual.

In the first few days, the ferret mother was still responsible for getting the food for the family.

It was also during these few days that Chen Xing tried the taste of carrion for the first time.

That’s right, it’s the original big rabbit, the original owner of this new home that their family found.

Now that it is spring and summer, the temperature outside is rising step by step with the arrival of the season. No matter how well preserved the rabbit carcasses are, they will inevitably begin to decay.

But for the stoat, eating carrion is not uncommon.

Chen Xing watched as the ferret mother swallowed the rabbit meat that had begun to rot into her stomach one by one, so she had to accept the species characteristics of his life.

Fortunately, the characteristics of the species are indeed the characteristics of the species. In the body of the stoat, after Chen Xing began to try this rotten rabbit meat with difficulty, he found that he could actually swallow it.

As long as it overcomes the psychological effect of being unacceptable to carrion, in fact, this stale rabbit meat is really not so bad that it makes Itachi feel very sick.

After all, there are many animals that eat carrion, and there are always creatures in nature to deal with carrion.

Besides, there is no other food in front of him. Apart from this rabbit that has already begun to rot, Chen Xing can’t fill his stomach with other things, so he has no other choice.

When the stomach is very hungry, the original psychological effect is not worth mentioning.

Of course, after all, fresh meat is a hundred times better than rotten meat. If possible, Chen Xing will still choose to eat fresh meat instead of rotten meat as much as possible.

After finally eating all the rabbits, leaving only a pair of bones, the mother ferret finally started hunting again.

This time, however, the mother stoat had a few cubs beside her and began to follow her to learn hunting skills.

The growth period of stoats is very short, and they can reach sexual maturity at the age of three months. Therefore, before the cubs leave the stoat mother, they must follow her to learn various hunting skills, so as not to leave her and start to survive independently in the future. Accidentally starve them to death.

The ferret’s fighting power is so strong, and there are many types of food that can be eaten. If you really starve yourself to death, it will be really sorry for the hard work of the ferret mother.

The stoat mother took the initiative to teach the cubs. The cubs obviously knew the importance of this matter instinctively, so there was no one who didn’t like to learn. any technique.

In order to teach the cubs around her, the ferret mother did not choose a rabbit ten times her size, but a small mouse.

Hunting rabbits is prone to accidents, such as being kicked by the rabbit’s powerful hind legs, and may also hurt the cubs who have been learning from her, so this kind of more difficult prey is naturally temporarily excluded by the ferret mother.

But that’s not the case with mice, which are much smaller than ferrets.

The success rate of stoat catching mice is much higher than that of hunting rabbits. In addition, the probability that mice can cause harm to these stoats is low. The cubs are also larger than mice, and there are also some mice that are struggling to escape. The ability to resist is much more stable than that of rabbits.

Although the ferret mother needs to teach the cubs with all her heart, it is naturally the best to make them safer.

With the goal of hunting, the mother stoat began to teach the cubs how to hunt in the way of the stoat.

The ferret’s vision and sense of smell are very sensitive, and it happens that there is a field nearby, and there are unlikely to be few mice, which is convenient for the ferret mother to search for their traces.

Chen Xing and several brothers and sisters followed behind the ferret mother at a distance, and could see the process of her searching for mice clearly.

Step by step, the mother ferret sniffed the ground, searching for the mouse hole where the mouse was hidden.

The family was lucky, the ferret mother soon found a mouse hole, and it was not empty.

Smelling the strong smell from the mouse, the mother ferret immediately stopped at the entrance of the hole and did not move any further, and the cubs behind her also stopped at the same time, so as not to affect the subsequent hunting process of the mother ferret.

There is nothing to say about the hunting process of the ferret mother. After all, the mouse is in the hole, and there is only one hole in sight. As long as you keep the hole honestly, you can always force the mouse out.

Mother ferret was too lazy to spend too much time, so she put her head directly into the mouse hole, leaving only her body to be seen by the children behind her.

The next second, the mother ferret’s head shrank back, and it seemed that she was accidentally attacked by the mouse inside.

Chen Xing took a closer look and found no scars on the ferret mother’s face. The mouse’s attack should not have been successful.

Although she was suddenly attacked once, the ferret mother was not timid because of the attack, and soon put her head into the cave again.

In the next second, a mouse was bitten by the mother ferret and she tried to pull it out of the hole.

The mouse that was bitten by the natural enemy was about to die, and naturally it was unwilling to live or die.

If it does get out of the cave, I am afraid that this little life will never be saved again. Therefore, under the crisis of life and death, the big mouse began to struggle desperately in the mouth of the ferret mother, and kept squeaking and screaming. .

The big mouse is also very energetic when struggling like this, and the ferret mother is actually not big, and her strength is naturally not comparable to those of larger mammals. Pull in the direction of the hole.

The two sides started a tug-of-war, and the mouse’s head became a rope for tug-of-war, which didn’t sound very fair.

Although the mouse has been struggling all the time, the stoat mother’s stamina is very strong, and she even continued to run eight kilometers when chasing her prey. The previous hare was no match for her. Therefore, even if the mouse in the hole kept She was struggling, but mother ferret wasn’t worried either.

In this way, the ferret mother and the big mouse in her mouth are trying to compete.

Not far away, Chen Xing and other little cubs took the situation in front of them into their eyes and tried to remember every action of the ferret mother in their hearts.

After all, the big rat was bitten on the neck by the ferret mother, so no matter how hard it struggled, the damage to the neck was real. In addition, the ferret mother kept biting its neck, so it would only The injury is getting worse and worse, and the body is getting weaker and weaker.

In the end, the big rat was still unable to match the stamina of the ferret mother, and was forcibly dragged out of the cave by the ferret mother, unsurprisingly.

After the big mouse was dragged out of the cave by the ferret mother, Chen Xing and his brothers and sisters finally discovered its plumpness.

This big mouse is really too big. It has already grown so plump before the autumn harvest season, and has accumulated so much fat on its body. If it tries to make it through this winter, it will definitely survive next spring.

It’s a pity that today this mouse is destined to be the lunch of their ferret family.

Not long after being dragged out of the cave by the ferret mother, the rat whose neck had been bitten died under the ferret mother’s mouth, and the struggle stopped completely.

Seeing that the big mouse was finally dead, the ferret mother threw the big mouse in front of the children and let them eat first.

Seeing this, Chen Xing’s brothers and sisters immediately approached the big mouse unceremoniously, and bit the flesh of each other’s body when they opened their mouths.

On the other hand, Chen Xing still did some psychological construction in his heart, so he managed to get close, and only opened his mouth and took a bite.

Although it was not the first time that mice had eaten, Chen Xing was not as active as his brothers and sisters when facing the food of mice, and it could even be said that he was a little procrastinated.

Even the ferret mother didn’t know what the son was thinking at this time, how could he even drag himself forward when facing the food! Isn’t the meat delicious?

The other brothers and sisters ate too fast, so Chen Xing ate less meat this time, but he didn’t think there was anything bad.

Seeing that the mouse was immediately cleaned up by several children, the ferret mother did not rest, and continued to demonstrate in front of the children to find the next prey.

It’s still the same process as before, but this second time, the ferret mother caught a mouse on the concrete road next to the rice field, not in the mouse hole.

During the entire capture process, the ferret mother still relied on her excellent stamina to chase a big mouse to her hand and bite her neck. After that, there was no surprise.

This time, the ferret mother did not leave the mouse to the children to eat like just now, but she ate a ferret herself.

Until the stomach is completely full, and there is still some meat left on the mouse, the ferret mother will give up the position to a few children, and let them deal with the remaining meat.

Even so, the children’s stomachs were still not full, and they could still eat some meat.

But then, the ferret mother, who has demonstrated the hunting process twice, gave the big stage to a few children. She no longer demonstrated herself, but just stood by to observe the children’s learning and practice process, and guarded by the way. Their safety, and occasionally a few guides.

With the ferret mother guarding the safety, Chen Xing and his brothers and sisters began to imitate all the procedures of the ferret mother just now, and began to search for traces of prey nearby, trying not to leave the sight of the ferret mother, In order to avoid accidental accidents that cannot be repaired.

Chen Xing saw that the brothers and sisters around him tacitly chose a direction to start searching for traces of mice. He also chose another direction that Itachi had not gone to for the time being, and began to press down and try to smell the smell on the ground.

As long as there are mice passing by, there will definitely be a smell, but the intensity of the smell is different.

Chen Xing knows the smell of mice as well as his brothers and sisters. After all, they have just come into contact with them today!

Keeping the smell of the mouse firmly in his heart, Chen Xing lowered his head and crawled forward. His movements were very dexterous and quiet, so that the other party would have been disturbed and escaped by his actions before the mouse could see it with his own eyes.

However, when I watched the mother ferret looking for it, it seemed to be quite simple, but now I have replaced it with a few cubs to experience it for myself, and finally I understand the difficulty of hunting.

Even Chen Xing, who had several lifetimes of hunting experience, took a while to finally smell the smell of a mouse, and then he found a mouse hole along the way.

mouse hole?

Thinking that his body size is not comparable to that of an adult ferret mother at this time, maybe it is similar to a big mouse, so Chen Xing did not choose to go directly into this mouse cave like the ferret mother just now.

The teeth of a mouse are not decorations. If Chen Xing, a novice, rushes into it, who knows which of the two is the prey?

Chen Xing didn’t plan to send it to others as prey, let alone a nasty mouse.

Because of various factors, it is impossible to directly drill into the cave. Chen Xing thought about it and gave up on his own for the time being.

In the end, Chen Xing quickly ran to the mother ferret and motioned for the other party to go and catch the mouse in the hole.

Now the only one who has the ability to confront the mouse in the hole is the adult ferret mother.

Even if he can’t do it himself today, Chen Xing has found the trace of the mouse by his own ability, which is also a kind of progress.

Chen Xing’s behavior is not to back down, but to do what he can.
