The westward journey was not easy. They had to pass through the territory of the tigers and the plains that were completely exposed to the sight of the golden eagles.

While preventing natural enemies from preying on them, they also need to fill the stomachs of a family of ten.

After walking against the cold wind for an afternoon, the sky gradually darkened.

Mother Fox began to look around non-stop, and Father Fox left the team again and again.

Finally, when the cold wind was raging and the howling of wolves was faintly heard in the distance, Father Fox brought back good news.

"There is an abandoned pothole in front, you can rest there temporarily at night."

Mother Fox breathed a sigh of relief, and took the whole family to the temporary hotel.

The forest at night is very dangerous, and the hunters who were watching in the dark during the day are slowly exposed.

Shen Qiu heard the sound of snakes.

The timid cub was frightened and cried.

Fox father and fox mother had no time to appease their cubs, so they picked up the slowest cub and started running.

And told the other cubs, "Catch up with us with all your strength, otherwise there will only be a dead end."

Although Shen Qiu is the youngest, there is a human soul living in his body after all, and he will not dare to run because of fear like other cubs.

After listening to Father Fox's instructions, he quickly ran to the front. The eldest brother took his younger siblings to see, but he could only keep up.

The sky is getting dark little by little, and the danger is imminent. They need to enter the pit that can cover their bodies before the night falls completely.

Hunger and fear invaded the nerves of the cubs in an instant.

But they didn't dare to stop, so they could only run with all their strength at the fastest speed while crying "嘤嘤嘤".

Shen Qiu tried his best to keep up with the fox's father and mother, but he was still too young, his physical endurance was far behind that of an adult fox, and he was soon pulled down a long way.

Father Fox stopped, turned around and called them anxiously.

The bark bark was full of eagerness.

"Come on, kids! It's almost there!"

Coming!

Shen Qiu saw the marmot emerging over there.

Smelling the smell of foxes from a distance, the marmot hurriedly hid in the soil hole.

Father Fox first threw a cub into the soil hole, then ran back to grab the exhausted Shen Qiu.

Limbs curled up instinctively, Shen Qiu said thank you affectionately.

Father Fox whimpered, "You're welcome~"

Sending Shen Qiu into the earth cave, the fox father returned several times, until all the fox cubs were sent into the cave, and then he lay down to rest at the entrance of the cave.

This soil hole was abandoned by marmots, and there is still some dry grass in it, which is extra warm for the mat.

The cubs calmed down from being frightened, and then lay down to rest for a while.

The stomachs of each cub sang empty city tricks one after another.

The boss circled his tail and called his father, "I'm hungry."

Outside the cave, the night completely covered the earth, and countless nocturnal animals began to go out to look for food.

They hid in the earth cave and heard the screams and wailing of various animals in the forest.

Countless animals lost their lives in this dark night and became other people's dishes.

Countless lives have survived because of this.

This is nature.

Father Fox crawled out of the hole. He looked around vigilantly, his voice was shattered by the night wind, "I'm going out to hunt, you follow your mother and don't run around, you understand?"

The cubs chimed in.

Mother Fox looked at Father Fox worriedly, and the couple looked at each other and kissed each other affectionately with their sharp mouths.

"be careful."

Mother Fox said something in a low voice, Father Fox nodded and left without saying a word.

Shen Qiu climbed to the entrance of the cave and looked at Father Fox's frail figure.The night wind was so strong that it swayed Father Fox's body from side to side.

But he gritted his teeth firmly and moved forward.Just because he has a wife and children behind him.

Shen Qiu took a deep breath, narrowed his fox eyes and looked outside.

The shadows of the trees swayed like ghosts.

He is counting the time.

Next month, mother fox will take them to predation training. After autumn, they will learn how to hunt and survive. Mother fox will drive all the cubs out of the house, and then they will fend for themselves.

If you want to serve an iron rice bowl, you can only learn all the survival skills.

Calculating the time, there are still at least five months.

After all, what lives in his body is the soul of an adult, and the cub who has been opening his mouth as a meal is somewhat apologetic.

Especially in the case of Father Fox, who wants to support the whole family with one fox.

If he was really a cub, he would definitely only think about when he could eat every day.

But he is not!

Shen Qiu turned over, belly up and let out a sigh.

Attracted fox mother lightly.

"Don't sigh, little boy."

Shen Qiu's stomach growled.

He ignored it, but asked Mother Fox, "Mother Fox, can I learn to hunt in advance?"

Mother Fox was very surprised, "Why?"

"I want to lighten Father Fox's burden." Shen Qiu said this sincerely.

But the mother fox didn't take it seriously, she patted the cub's soft belly lightly with her tail, and the mother fox rubbed him affectionately with her sharp beak.

"Father must be very happy to hear this, but raising the cubs is the responsibility of the father, and there is no need for the help of the cubs."

"Don't worry, mom and dad will definitely raise you all up."

The bull's head is wrong with the horse's mouth.

Shen Qiu sincerely wanted to help Father Fox, but Mother Fox thought that he was worried that Father Fox would not be able to feed them alive.

Shen Qiu: "..."

The fox sighs.jpg.

That's all, when he got to his new home, he would calmly persuade Father Fox and Mother Fox.

The fox family anxiously waited for father fox's return.

As time passed by, the forest became more and more lively.

Before they could wait for Father Fox to come back, they waited for a lynx to arrive first.

The other party should have come smelling the smell of a fox, and lowered his head to sniff the ground all the way.

Because the earth cave was not downwind, Mother Fox didn't notice it first, and when she found it, the lynx was already right in front of her.

It has a pair of glowing eyes shining in the dark night, staring at the soil hole.

The mother fox let out a sharp cry, urging the cubs to hide deeper.

The fox cubs have been taught to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Hearing the warning from the fox mother, they all ran deeper.

Marmot burrows are usually deep enough and the terrain is complex.

Generally, marmots hiding in soil holes cannot be captured even by hunters with the best hunting skills.

Now the earth cave has become a temporary shelter for the foxes, and the cubs have burrowed to the bottom, their tails entangled with each other into a ball.

The fox mother also rushed down to get in before the lynx arrived, and stood in front of the cubs.

The lynx has arrived.

It started digging.

From time to time, dirt fell from the top of his head, Shen Qiu rubbed his eyes, and began to worry about Father Fox.

I hope Father Fox will never come back at this time, otherwise he will run into a lynx...

However, whatever comes to mind.

Just as Shen Qiu's thoughts fell, there was a fox roaring like a dog barking in the distance.

That's the sound a fox makes when it threatens an enemy.

Shen Qiu's heart "thumped".

It's Dad Fox.

When Lynx heard Father Fox's call, he stopped digging and turned his head to look.

Shen Qiu couldn't see the scene outside, but could only hear Father Fox roaring.

Soon, the lynx left the fox in the cave and ran towards the left.

At that moment, I almost stopped breathing.

There were marmots screaming.

The sound aroused the sleeping birds in the distant jungle, flapping their wings and flying into the night sky.

A feather floated down from the air, slowly landed in front of the soil hole, and was blown into the hole by the wind.

The cub's furry paws caught the black feathers.

The direction of the wind changed, and the cold wind brought a smell of blood.

In the earth cave, there are only the sounds of their own breathing and everyone's rapid heartbeat.

At this moment, including Mother Fox, there was no sound.

They didn't dare to think about what happened to Father Fox.

Could the lynx have been...

Shen Qiu couldn't sit still, he wanted to poke his head out to have a look, but when he moved, he was held down by Mother Fox.

"Cub, don't move."

Shen Qiu licked his lips and wanted to speak, but the cold wind brought a familiar smell.

It's Dad Fox!

The cubs were calling for their father one after another.

In the next second, Father Fox appeared above the soil hole, and quickly got in.

"Honey!"

Mother Fox immediately came over and kissed and kissed, after making sure that Father Fox was not injured.

Mother Fox breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where's the lynx?"

"Ran."

Father Fox was out of breath and very tired.

Through his description, Shen Qiu and the others knew that the reason why Father Fox had been outside for so long was because he caught four marmots and came back.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he came back, he saw his wife and children were in danger. Father Fox immediately chose to lure the lynx away with food.

Four marmots are enough to feed a lynx.

They are all smart animals, and they know whether it is better to fight each other to the death or to trade with each other safely.

The lynx left after eating the marmot, and the first danger of their westward journey was temporarily lifted.

After finishing speaking, Father Fox apologized a little, "It's just that we're all going to be hungry tonight."

Father Fox rubbed the smallest cub, Qiuqiu, and held him in his arms.

"Tomorrow morning, Dad will go find food for you again."

Of course Shen Qiu was hungry, but he could bear it, and he didn't want Father Fox to go out in such a dangerous environment.

It is dangerous to be in a strange place, let alone in the dark, if you encounter a natural enemy that comes out for food in the dark, there are no four marmots to lure the enemy away.

The little cubs were also sensible and did not object.

The family of ten cuddled together, listening to the wind god howling outside, and slowly fell asleep feeling the hunger in their stomachs.

Shen Qiu woke up from hunger, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Father Fox staring intently at the entrance of the cave.

Seeing Shen Qiu open his eyes, he hiccupped, obviously he had been guarding for a long time at night.

After a while, mother fox also woke up leisurely.

But Father Fox didn't change shifts to sleep, but poked his head out of the hole.

Dawn has officially arrived, and the animals that have been moving in the dark have begun to return to their nests.

Father Fox is going to hunt.

He wants to catch the right prey while everyone is going home.

The first gust of wind in the morning brought news of the territory.

There was no smell of natural enemies. Father Fox and Mother Fox greeted each other and left with tired bodies.

The cubs fell into anxious waiting again.

But this time it didn't take long. Half an hour later, Father Fox rushed back with two mice in his mouth.

The mouse was faintly breathing and was clearly dying.

Smelling the aroma of food, the cubs crawled out of the soil hole one after another.

Probably aware of the danger, although the breath was weak, the mouse struggled to run as soon as it was put down.

Shen Qiu was the closest, upon seeing this, he swooped and bit the mouse's head.

As soon as the teeth were pressed hard, the neck snapped and the mouse lost its breath.

Father Fox was very pleased.

"The ball is doing beautifully."

The boss behind him whimpered, looking at his younger brother and father, suddenly rushed behind Shen Qiu and pressed Shen Qiu under him.

Shen Qiu didn't expect the boss to attack suddenly, and didn't react for a while, seeing that he wanted to snatch away the mouse, he immediately understood that he was establishing his position as the boss and wanted to fill his stomach first.

Is there any reason to give out the food when it reaches the mouth?

Shen Qiu, who has been a red fox for more than a month, definitely denies it.

He turned his head and took a bite at the boss's mouth.

The boss dodged away with a painful "ow".
