daily life of wild animals

On the way back, they were lucky enough to find some edible garbage. It was a hot pot from a nearby community. They couldn't finish it and didn't bother to freeze the food, so they packed it and threw it on the side of the road. The ground is freezing, I don't want to go far, I deliberately detour near the trash can.

Although the unexpected food was not much, it also made the two wild dogs feel a little better. Although Mo Xu didn't mind being hungry, he didn't want the other three familiar wild dogs to starve to death in front of his eyes. What you don't see is what you don't see. If you see it with your own eyes, take it to heart, and you will inevitably ignore it.

When the two wild dogs returned to the shed, the black dog was already waiting anxiously. It had just gone to the alley to take a look, but it didn't see half of the dogs. Looking at the footprints printed in the snow on the ground, it was confirmed that they went in the same direction and brought back food.

The four wild dogs quickly divided up the food, and the nutrition and calories they obtained were enough to last the night, but only for one night. The next day, they still had to run on the line of life and death, eating more and eating less. Eat less, there is no shortage of places to bury bones in the city, but wild dogs still haven't seen fragrant bones for a long time.In the past, humans liked to eat meat and disdain those white bones, but now they are found to be a good thing, and it is good to leave some bone residue.

The black dog swallowed the last bite of food and felt a little better in his stomach. It began to think about the big question it had this morning. It glanced at the miscellaneous dog suspiciously, approached him sneakily, and whispered in Mo Xu's ear. , "You and the boss go to pee together?" It was definitely not to find food at first, Bai Ying clearly said that he would bring the miscellaneous hair back.

Mo Xu felt ashamed, he glanced at the black dog lightly, his expression remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly.

The black dog was startled, the image of the idol in his heart fell from the high sky a little bit, it turned out that the boss would pee farther than other wild dogs? !

The yellow dog covered the several air leaks in the greenhouse with discarded garbage, then walked into the snow and lowered his head to sniff the wood and newspapers on the ground. They were all dry, but there was no food. smell, it thought it contained delicious white meat worms.

"What are you doing with these?" The yellow dog asked inexplicably as he pulled the wooden block with his paws.

Seeing this, Mo Xu hurriedly moved all the flammable items placed on the snow to the open space in front of the shed, where there was an eave covering the top, and most of the snow drifted in by the wind had just been swept away, and the wild dogs They also don't like the wetness in front of their house, and they are too cold to sleep in the middle of the night.

"Burn the fire." Briefly and concisely.

The black dog and the yellow dog looked at each other, not understanding the meaning of the word. Sometimes when the weather is dry and hot, many trees will ignite raging fires at night, and occasionally there will be a few small fires in the city. When they pass by, they can feel the hot black ash rushing towards them. Take the garbage dump closest to their lives as an example, there is often thick smoke there, and fire is not a good thing.

"It's very dangerous." The yellow dog reminded, is it going to burn down the greenhouse?It shuddered in its heart, but it was said that there would be no fire when there was no thunder.

The black dog also shook his head, with a puzzled expression on his face, "I was exposed to a fire once before, and it hurt to death. The fur on the paws was all curled up, and it was pitch black."

Mo Xu covered the newspaper on the wood, and the corners of his lips twitched. He was more curious about how the black dog could distinguish the color difference between the normal black fur and the burnt black fur... He turned his head and walked towards the small garbage dump next to him. It is covered by a layer of snow, but there are still a few places exposed outside, where you can poke your claws in. I seemed to be near here before, and I saw a good item, but it was a pity that I couldn't eat it, so I didn't dig it out.

"What are you looking for?" Bai Ying's voice was as cold as ever, and he came silently behind him.

Mo Xu was used to it, without turning his head, he said, "Lighter."

The wild dogs didn't know what a lighter was. The yellow dog saw the thin paws of the miscellaneous dog stretching hard, so he jumped on the garbage dump and lowered his head to help find it. "What does it look like and what is it used for?" Not like something to eat.

"Small, elongated, somewhat transparent, filled with liquid...it can be used to make fire." He tried to use simple words to describe what he was about to do.

The white wild dog looked indifferent, but looked at the mixed-haired dog with a little surprise, "I thought you were planning to find a fire source on the human land."

Mo Xu raised his eyebrows, and returned an even more surprised look, this white dog is not simple, he can think of such a way as using kindling, he stared at the white shadow for a rare moment, and there was no half-dodge in the other's eyes, "It's so troublesome to borrow, it's better to do it yourself."

The black dog looked around, and didn't know how this mongrel dog was going to do it himself, but seeing that the other party kept digging the same place with its paws, and only picked up a little debris each time, it couldn't help but feel a little impatient, but the garbage There is no place for him on the pile, and even the yellow dog has no chance to show his claws.

After observing for a while, Bai Ying went straight forward a few steps, gently pulled the mutton away, raised his paw and lifted the thing buried under it.

Mo Xu: "..." This white wild dog must have deliberately watched him paw for so long!The paws are frozen...

He carefully stretched out the dog's head, and picked up an old lighter in the garbage dump with his teeth. He couldn't swallow it or crush it, so he could only carefully put it next to the pile of wood and newspapers, waiting for it to spit out. By then, it was already wet and covered with saliva... For a wild dog, it is safest to keep it in its mouth.

The wild dogs squatted aside curiously, watching the mutt start playing with the unknown item.

The black dog's eyes were full of surprise, "It really wants to use that to make a fire? But isn't it filled with water!" Water and fire are incompatible, this is a truth that even the most stupid tadpoles know, and wild dogs also have basic common sense.

The yellow dog shook his head again and again, but did not raise any doubts. He could no longer understand the daily life of this scraggly dog, but every time he could bring surprises, it was unpredictable. Obviously such a fragile body, the brain also Not big, I heard that smart dogs are big heads, it seems that the rumors are not credible.The yellow dog was lying on the ground, while watching the rogue dog moving its paws, he noticed that Bai Ying went to the small garbage dump and came back with something in his mouth.

The black dog went over to help, how could the boss do it himself? He placed the pot that had been picked up at the door of the shed, and exhaled. This thing is really heavy. The black dog sniffed the pot, thinking of a piece of soil The taste is quite heavy.

The yellow dog moved its paws and put all the wood and newspapers on the ground in. They rarely do this kind of skillful work, and they still learn to pack things?It was unimaginable before.Some broken wood chips seem to be useful, but the claws cannot be picked up, and the mouth is not easy to bite. The yellow dog is struggling. When he looks up and sees Bai Ying walking over, he takes the initiative to step aside. They all respect the leader. And it will be reflected in some small actions.

Bai Ying gently swept the ground with his tail, and the sawdust hung on the fluffy white hair, then stretched his tail over the mud basin, shaking, the sawdust fluttered down one after another, Mo Xu looked at it more and more Curious, this dog always teases his own affection occasionally. When he wants to ask you what your name is, where you live, and whether you use chopsticks or a knife and fork, the other dog can always put on a dog face calmly, and then ...

"Woof!" Shirai Shadow signaled that this side is ready.

Mo Xu withdrew his eyes lonely and focused on lighting the fire. He felt that his frozen paws had moved enough, and now he could be a little more flexible, so he began to squat on the ground, stretched his hind legs to the front to fix the lighter, and moved forward. A claw protruded from the claw and rubbed it on the small pulley. This is an old lighter, and it can't be used without opening the cover.

The yellow dog and the black dog were already stunned... the two passing wild birds sent to the "Special Extra" were also stunned. What did they see just now, that shaggy dog ​​could make sparks with its paws? !

After dozens of attempts, Mo Xu finally managed to light the lighter. Under the stunned eyes of the dogs, he lit the newspaper in the clay pot. The fire grew bigger and bigger, and the wood was burned and supplied continuously. The heat suddenly turned into a heating circle near the mudpot, and the two wild birds did not leave. As long as they stayed a little farther away to prevent their wings from being burned, they were willing to rest in a warm place.

Until the evening, the wild dogs surrounded the mud pot. There was not much wood, but it was enough to survive today. Although many of them had turned into charcoal, there were still red sparks, and the heat was not so strong. The dogs moved closer, stood up, and laid their front paws on the edge of the clay pot.Several wild dogs huddled together, their tails wagging slightly, and two little birds squatted on the heads of the furry dogs, their wings were folded, and their eyes were closed due to the heat.

"It's so comfortable..." The black dog sighed sincerely. It has grown so big, and it has not yet passed through such a warm cold night. Its paws are baked and soft, and the fur on its body is loose. In other places, this place is as beautiful as a paradise.

The yellow dog barked a few times, with some satisfaction, it lowered its head to observe the sparks in the clay pot with great interest, and in the dark night, its body was shining with warm light.

"Is something happening?" Bai Ying asked the two wild birds. It didn't stand around the clay pot with the dogs, but moved a little farther away, lying on the ground, smoothing the hair on its body gracefully like a nobleman. , the snow-white color is no different from the floor outside, but it has a little more luster, which looks as beautiful as satin.

The wild birds opened their eyes, tilted their heads, and said, "The wild dog that was bitten by the mad dog in the garbage dump before did not have a problem, and it was not infected and went crazy."

Mo Xu didn't know the probability of rabies infection, but since he was bitten and he was fine, it was a kind of luck. He rolled on the ground with his belly facing upwards. This position is always the most comfortable. He looked out, The vast expanse of whiteness, the world of ice and snow, think about it, even if you don’t go to the garbage dump, you may not be able to survive such a harsh winter. Dry wood and newspapers are not continuously supplied. Mo Xu turned over, and the probability of freezing to death naturally will be bigger.

Just when the wild birds were about to wave their wings to bid farewell, suddenly the silent night was pierced by a barking dog. Because the distance was far away, the wild dogs could only faintly hear a little bit, but think about it the other way around, even Such a long distance can be transmitted here, which shows how tragic this dog bark is.

"Ouch..."

The voice came from the direction of the garbage dump, maybe it was the mad dog, Mo Xu felt a chill in his heart, as if he felt the same despair as himself.
