Bai Junwo kept it in the mud hole under the stone for half a month before the snake's tail could even grow.
But I won’t be able to shed my skin before winter this year.
Because the nutrients in his body are spontaneously replenishing the body tissues of the snake tail, it will not be able to grow again if there is insufficient nutrition.
Autumn is really here now.
Every day when the sun rises early, Bai Jun spends a long time in the sun to warm his body, activate blood circulation and soften his body.
The sky is cloudless, and the migratory geese are migrating to warmer places. The vegetation in the mountains is gradually turning yellow, and in the distant dense forest, the fruit is fragrant. From time to time, one or two wild monkeys can be seen jumping happily.
The water plants beside the pond have withered, and the old willow branches and leaves follow the laws of nature, and the fine withered yellow willow leaves fall to the ground.
Beside such a pool, there is a short-tailed white snake that looks very strange.
I saw this white snake holding dry and yellow bulrushes in its mouth, then crawled for a long time and got into a cave on the cliff. After a long time, it crawled out again and came to the bank of the pond to bite off the dry and yellow bulrushes. The cattails cycle again.
This white snake is naturally Bai Jun.
Birds can make their nests from grass and trees, and ants can build caves and stone nests.
Although snakes don't understand how to build nests, Bai Jun understands.
He carried cattails back and forth into the cave every day, and built himself a simple grass nest in the deepest part of the cave. The withered yellow cattails were the dryest and warmest, and they were easily available, making them a good material for building a nest.
Bai Jun now goes into the water and swallows a small fish every day. After experiencing spring and summer feng shui, the fish are now at their most plump and delicious.
In the past month, many animals have migrated to the valley.
Bai Jun found a lot of mice swimming among the tree roots on the stone wall. The taste of these mice was comparable to that of fat fish.
There was also a nest of foxes in the bushes to the east, and the wild boar that originally came to drink water also settled down in the valley.
There are also birds that often wander in the sky, and Bai Jun even saw an owl living in a thin line of sky in the northwest.
Most of these animals need to drink water, and the valley is also the only water source among the mountains within dozens of miles.
Of course, for this endless mountain range, dozens of miles are nothing.
Bai Yan often hides by the water, watching various creatures with a cold eye, either cautiously, without fear, or even secretly coming to drink water from this pool.
Bai Yan couldn't stop those animals from migrating. All he could do was work hard to grow until they were thick and big enough. Then, no matter how many creatures there were in the entire valley, they would all be his food.
Baijun has not stayed in the nest on the willow tree for a long time. There are new residents there, a crow couple.
Birds like crows generally mate for life and appear in pairs. Bai Jun had no intention of eating them because he was still too young.
But what he was thinking was that after hibernation it would be time for the crows to lay their eggs!
Bird eggs are the best tonic for snakes that have just hibernated, replenishing various deficient nutrients in the body and are extremely delicious.
Bai Yan's lair has been prepared, and he will spend the last month of autumn filling his stomach and eating as much as he can.
The sunlight is always very weak in autumn, and it always takes a long time to feel the warmth, but often a gust of autumn wind will blow away the warmth.
Bai Jun doesn't go into the water for more than an hour every day. His body will become stiff if he stays in the water for a long time.
Every time he hunted the fat fish very quickly, he would go ashore to rest and never stay in the water for too long.
After Bai Jun ate so much for a month, his body length finally exceeded one meter. The widest part of his body, his head, was already two and a half adult fingers wide.
By this time, the weather was already very cold.
As soon as Bai Jin came out of the mud hole, he felt his body was cold, his mind was heavy, and his skin and flesh were stiff.
It’s time to hibernate!
On a frosty and foggy day, Bai Jun left.
He rolled up a pebble with his tail and blocked the mud hole under the boulder. This was his first nest.
The cunning rabbit has three burrows, and the snake has to leave a way out for itself.
Bai Yan raised his head and glanced at the crow standing on the branch of the willow tree. The crow immediately flew up, making a noisy "croak, croak, croak" sound, and looked very alert.
The harsh crow made Bai Jun feel dizzy and made him want to eat the multi-beaked crow.
However, Bai Jun was still sensible. He crawled straight into the cave that had been prepared, curled up into a ball and nestled in the thick and warm cattail grass.
The cave extends to a depth of more than ten meters, and the entrance is narrow, only the size of an adult's fist. Bai Jun is not worried that any birds or foxes will get in and eat him.
The quiet and dark environment in the cave is very reassuring. The bats in the cave have already been cleaned up by Bai Jun.
He stayed here, isolated from the rest of the world, and no longer had to think about hunting or worry about his safety, and his mind was completely relaxed.
Bai Yan recalled that he had been reborn as a snake for more than half a year. From the initial fear and anxiety to the current leisurely and peaceful state, he had changed a lot and became more and more like a snake.
Thinking of immortality and becoming a demon, he foolishly tried to meditate under the moonlight and try to sense the legendary spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but he found nothing. Instead, exposing himself at night only increased the danger.
He was just like an ordinary snake, surviving his infancy and growing up into a snake.
Outside the cave, on the willow trees, crows occasionally raised their hoarse voices, and one or two unpleasant crows were heard, resounding in the silent mountains.
The grass and trees covered with hoarfrost are completely silent, the mist is lingering in the small pool in the deep mountains, the foxes huddle together in the bushes for warmth, and the ants under the boulders are busy silently finishing their work and returning to their burrows.
On this day, the mountains were covered with mist and mist, and the early sun shone high all over the mountains, staining them with frost.
When frost falls, all things are completed, all beasts return to their nests, and autumn is over.
Bai Jun also entered a state of hibernation and suspended animation in the cave.
What happens to the creatures in the outside world has nothing to do with him.
In winter, the water vapor in the mountains is heavy, with lots of rain and snow.
A gust of cold air from the far north traveled south and rushed into the endless mountains. The temperature dropped by more than ten degrees overnight. Many snakes with good cold tolerance that had not yet hibernated were frozen to death.
The mountains are shrouded in cold clouds and mist, and the cold wind blows countless white snow covering the grass and trees.
Layers of snow gradually accumulated on the ground in the mountains, and the vegetation and branches turned into ice sculptures, crystal clear, beautiful and fragile. The world of ice and snow has arrived.
Two white cranes are walking on the winter snow in the mountains. The sun rises in the east. The red glow of the sun makes the white cranes breathe out and the clouds and mist move around.
In the jungle, a colorful-faced tiger stepped on the snow and came out to hunt. It roared and roared in the forest. All beasts were frightened. Many animals were frightened and ran away. The tiger then began to choose its prey.
In a huge cave, a huge black bear, which was about ten feet tall, lay hibernating on a stone bed-like stone, with many layers of animal fur underneath.
A white rabbit poked its head out of the hole to find grass to fill its belly. A snow-white fox was behind the white rabbit, approaching quietly with its slender limbs stepping on the snow.
