At this time, Shen Qiu was thankful that Dad Fox's speed training back then made him not at a disadvantage now.

After running for a few more minutes, the herdsmen behind him still refused to let go, and Shen Qiu vaguely heard a dog barking.

The fox stared round and looked back, only to find that the herdsmen had let the dogs out.

Unable to speak for a while, the little fox looked around, the grassland was endless, and the red fox running on it was a living target.

Turning his head to look at the houses where the herdsmen lived, he gritted his teeth and got into one of the alleyways.

The alleyway was dim, Shen Qiu was only focused on running, and didn't pay attention to other things, when he was caught in the net bag, he had no chance to escape.

Opening his sharp mouth, he wanted to scream subconsciously, but his mouth was pressed hard by a force, and a person pressed on him, making him completely out of breath.

"Hush! Don't bark."

The man said angrily.

Shen Qiu paused.

Feeling that the fox stopped struggling, the other party's tone was joyful, "Can you understand, little fox? Don't bark, I'm here to save you."

Shen Qiu hesitated for a while and didn't move.

The man was even more delighted. He held the fox's mouth firmly with one hand, picked up the five-kilogram little fox with the other, and sneaked into the house.

After entering the house, Shen Qiu saw through the dim oil lamp that this person was actually the young man who had just pressed the alarm bell.

He was a little surprised, but after turning his head around, he understood.

Just now I thought it was weird that poaching was so much fanfare.

Looking at it now, it is not a poacher, it is clearly a herdsman here.

The conflict between herdsmen and prairie wolves has been nothing more than herdsmen occupying the pastures and driving away herbivores from ancient times to the present.

Without food, the prairie wolf can only hunt the herdsmen's cattle and sheep.

This is how the conflict arose, so the herdsmen began to organize people to hunt wolves.

It was a coincidence that he came across this wolf hunting operation.

As for the young man, he probably disagreed with the wolf hunting, but the young man had no right to speak, and he couldn't speak to other people, so he could only do things like call the police secretly.

Seeing that the young man found a rope, the little fox didn't move.

"I'll be gentle, but you're not allowed to bark!"

The little fox blinked and agreed.

The young man then gently put the rope on the fox to ensure that it would not be bitten before putting the fox on the ground.

As soon as it was put down, the door was slammed, the young man changed his face, and hurriedly hid the fox in the grain pile in the yard.

Repeatedly told the little fox not to make a sound before opening the door.

Shen Qiu pricked up his ears to listen, and outsiders asked the young man if he had seen a fox, and after getting a negative answer, he quickly left to knock on the door of another house.

Shen Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.

The young man closed the door and came in, seeing that the little fox was still motionless as before, with a complicated expression on his face.

"You're so smart, if only those coyotes were as smart as you."

The little fox's eyes flashed.

The young man sighed, probably because he had been suppressed for a long time and had no one to tell, but he actually talked about his thoughts with a fox.

The situation tonight was similar to Shen Qiu's guess.

The areas where herders graze are constantly encroaching on the territories of herbivores.

Finally one day the herbivores didn't have enough grass to fill their stomachs, so they chose to move.

Then there are not only herbivores and herders living on this plateau, but also carnivores.

The fox family, manul, snow leopard, prairie wolf and other carnivores live on these herbivores.

Foxes, mantles, and marmots, voles, and snow rabbits are used as food sources.

But snow leopards and prairie wolves are serious predators, and their food list has always included many large herbivores.

Among them, the prairie wolf is even worse.

Wolves are pack animals, usually there are at least four of them, and four wolves can eat a lot of prey in a day.

What's more, after long-term development, the wolf pack has grown and expanded. Now there are as many as four prairie wolves in this plateau alone, and each pack has at least ten members...

This is a terrifying number, no matter for the cattle and sheep of the herdsmen or the herdsmen.

The herdsmen here are not nomads. They rely on this grassland to feed their cattle and sheep in winter and summer, so they cannot be moved away. They can only solve the problem from the root cause.

All of the above triggered today's late-night wolf hunting operation.

After finishing speaking, the young man let out a long sigh again, with a dazed face and a puzzled tone in his tone.

"You said...it's obvious that we have occupied the living territory of animals, why did they blame everything on animals in the end?"

This is a very heavy question, but if you really want to care about it, it is just a word of benefit.

The herdsmen let the cattle and sheep invade the territory of the herbivores, which harmed the interests of the herbivores, so they chose to leave.

The departure of herbivores harmed the interests of carnivores, so carnivores turned their minds on humans.

The behavior of carnivores has harmed the interests of human beings, which has led to human disgust and killing of them.

The little fox also heaved a long sigh, and his melancholy look swept away the gloom in the young man's heart.

Couldn't help touching the little fox's head, he said, "Actually, I really want to be a forest ranger. I have a distant cousin who is a forest ranger. I heard from him that he patrols the forest every day and sees many small animals. "

"I have loved small animals since I was a child."

The young man's eyes revealed longing, and the sound of wooden warehouses and howling wolves could be heard outside, which tinged this longing with a little sadness.

Suddenly, a sharp siren pierced through the wolf's howl and resounded across the sky.

The little fox, who was lying on the ground just now and seemed unable to move, immediately jumped up and down.

Then he tore the rope off his mouth with his claws very skillfully, turned around and ran towards the gate.

The young man stared wide-eyed, a little suspicious that he was dazzled.

Shen Qiu walked to the door, glanced at the high bolt and turned to look at the young man.

The little fox stomped its feet and barked at him.

"Hurry up!"

The young man walked over in a trance and stood in front of him, looked at the door latch and then at the energetic little fox.

Mouth slightly opened: "So...you were lying to me just now."

The little fox flicked its tail and looked at him innocently with squinting eyes.

What are you talking about, he's just a little fox, he doesn't understand anything.

The young man laughed and could only open the door.

The door just opened a crack, and the little fox rushed out like a flash of red lightning.

Following the sound of the siren, the little fox rushed to the police car very quickly without stopping.

The police car had just stopped at the entrance of the village, Yan Yan and Xu Heng got out of the car, and saw the familiar red jumping on the front of the car at a glance.

Some villagers heard the police sirens and came out to look. When they saw the fox on the police car, their eyes widened.

Shen Qiu flicked his tail and said solemnly.

"Let's go! Come with me! I'll take you to the scene of the crime!"

The little fox tugged at the sleeves of his serious clothes and took them far away.

Seriously looking at the grassland under the night, Xu Heng and another colleague asked the herdsmen first.

Then he asked the little fox, "Lead the way?"

Shen Qiu jumped off the front of the car to leave, but another car stopped behind the police car.

The car door opened, and a familiar voice came bluffing, "Officer Yan! You are really right, following you can really find Qiuqiu!"

It's Xi Ye, let's see who the other two carrying cameras are Deng Bo and Zhang Yaoyang.

how are they here

A row of question marks popped up from the little fox.

But the matter in front of him was more urgent, the little fox didn't care too much, and led the way ahead.

Seeing seriousness, he immediately ran up.

The police came sooner than expected, and the herdsmen had no time to cover up, so they climbed over the hills, and the smell of blood came to their nostrils.

The corpse of the prairie wolf lying on the ground came into view.

The headlights of the herdsmen's motorcycles illuminated this area like daylight, allowing them to see the scene more clearly.

The bright red blood lingered on the grass, staining the yellowed grass tips red, and the countless corpses of prairie wolves almost stung the eyes of everyone at the scene.

It was the first time for Xi Ye and others to see such a large-scale hunting scene, which can be said to be extremely shocking.

The three of them stared wide-eyed for a while, unable to regain their senses.

Until he frowned seriously, took out his mobile phone and called the Forestry Bureau and the police station respectively.

The three came back to their senses, and the first thing they did was point the camera at the scene.

Xi Ye took pictures of the little fox, and the camera moved over for a moment.

He saw an emotion called mourning in the eyes of the fox in the camera, and immediately paused.

But when he wanted to look again, the little fox had returned to normal.

The quiet plateau soon ushered in batch after batch of guests.

The villagers who participated in the hunting were all taken back to the police station.

The newly-adult red fox led the Forestry Bureau and the police to find one corpse after another of prairie wolves by virtue of its excellent sense of smell.

There are so many corpses that cannot be left on the grassland, and the people from the Forestry Bureau will restrain them and take them away for formal processing.

They will also treat the prairie wolves that still have breath.

After dealing with these adult wolves, the sky has already faintly glowed.

It's almost dawn.

The little fox looked up at the sky, with the tip of his nose twitching, sniffing farther away.

The plateau here means that coyotes mate later than on the plains.

Now it is the end of September, and almost all the wolf cubs in this area are born around June.

It is only three months old now.

This is why herdsmen choose to hunt wolves at this time.

After hunting the adult wolves, they can find the lairs of the wolves with more confidence, find the young wolves and throw them to death.

Shen Qiu sighed heavily in his heart, turned his head and told him to continue walking solemnly.

They climbed over two hills one after another and stopped on a steep dirt slope.

The smell of wolves is concentrated around here, and the cubs are here.

Seeing the fox stop, the seriousness instantly understood what he meant.

This is the tacit understanding between one person and one fox after several cooperations.

Seriously and others did not go any further, but made a phone call and waited for someone from the Forestry Bureau to deal with it.

The pack of prairie wolves was almost dead, and even if there were survivors, they would not return to this lair.

These young wolves who are not yet able to protect themselves will be extremely dangerous. Large predators such as snow leopards will follow the smell and eat up the young wolves.

People from the Forestry Bureau busily took away the cubs, and the herdsmen who participated in the hunt were also brought back to the police station.

Shen Qiu was hugged seriously and prepared to leave.

But before leaving, the young man stopped the police car.

He hesitated looking at the serious face, opened and closed his mouth for a while, looked at the little fox on Serious's legs, and gritted his teeth, "Uncle Policeman, I want to be a forest ranger, what can you do?"

Seriously, it is probably the first time I have encountered such a straightforward expression of my appeal.

Dazed for a moment, he quickly chuckled and copied a phone number.

"This is the phone number of the Anling Forestry Bureau. If you think it through and get your family's consent, you can contact them."

The young man took it happily, and gave a solemn salute with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Uncle Police."

The car drove away, and Shen Qiu saw the simple and sincere smile on the young man's face through the rearview mirror.

It was in stark contrast to the faces of the pack of wolves last night.
