When the farmer walked into the sweet potato field, the five zokors didn't have time to run away, so they simply got into the cave, thinking that they would be quiet after hiding for a while. Unexpectedly, after the farmer discovered the cave, he took real action and used a hoe to Plane and stamp with your feet, this scares them.
Fortunately, their caves are deep and long, with three exits. At this moment, three little zokors followed their mother out of a hole outside the sweet potato field and quietly ran into the forest. Only the little flower stayed inside. It didn't want to get out of the hole where its mother led it. It was worried that if it wasn't safe, it would be exposed.
So, it quietly crawled towards another opening, climbed to the edge, saw a bright light, but felt the vibration outside, and retreated timidly. Because the cave was pitch black, it was unclear where the exit was. If it retreated to the sweet potato field, it would be discovered. It had no choice but to huddle in place, but its heart was beating fast because of the light at the exit just now. It disappeared, replaced by the sound of earth and rubbish pouring down, which was clearly blocking the entrance to the cave.
Xiaohua was panicking. If all the holes were sealed and the air inside was not flowing, it would be in danger of suffocation and death.
It crawled back and forth in the cave, and stretched out its two forelimbs to carefully dig up the soil. Fortunately, a tunnel was dug out of this cave. It was originally connected to the main cave, but it was blocked due to soil collapse.
It immediately got in. There was a cave inside, which was quite spacious. It didn't dare to miss it, and continued to crawl forward. It found a bright light in front of it. It quietly approached the entrance of the hole, stretched out its head and saw that no one was there, so it jumped out and quickly headed towards the woods. Run away.
The farmer spread the news about the sweet potato field being invaded by the small-eyed animal, and the news spread throughout the village. The villagers grew sweet potatoes, peanuts, and beans. Pay great attention.
A farmer who grew peanuts found that some unknown animals had uprooted several peanut trees in his peanut field. The uprooted peanut stems were surrounded by peanut shells and bitten off small rhizomes. If they were stolen, they would definitely There were no signs of chewing the roots, nor were they ruined like this. It can be said that this was not a big loss, but it aroused the farmer's high vigilance.
He spread the news in the village, and the whole village was trying to prevent beasts from harming them. Some people set up tents next to the bean fields to keep watch. They turned on the lights at night so that the wild animals would not dare to come after seeing them. Households with dogs would also Take the dog on patrol. Only the farmer whose sweet potato field was infested did not manage it very much. Anyway, the sweet potatoes in the field were almost eaten by small-eyed animals. If he planted other crops, he would have to take extra precautions.
Of course, he also went to the sweet potato field to take a look. Once, he found that the remaining sweet potatoes were bitten by animals with small eyes. He subconsciously wanted to cure this abominable beast.
The little flower fled out of the cave in panic that time and went into the forest, trying to find its mother who had run away from it. It cleverly circled a few times against the grass, but there was no trace. The sounds outside the forest that made it sound timid gradually faded away, and it no longer panicked.
But at this moment, it heard the shrill cry of a zokor as if passing over its head. It instinctively raised its neck and saw a vulture holding a small zokor in its mouth, and its body was still trembling. , it quickly recognized that it was its sister. Something happened to them. A bad feeling made them act more cautiously.
At this time, it got into the grass and let the grass cover its body. Its heart was pounding: If he came out with his mother and exposed his target, would the vulture's prey be him? It's hard to say.
Therefore, it feels lucky to have escaped safely and avoided disaster. Now it didn't dare to move. When the sky darkened, it quietly stretched out its neck, and its hair moved with the grass. It turned out that the wind was blowing, the dark clouds were covering the sky, and the rain was falling down, only a little bit of the fur was wet. , it burrowed into the grass again, and observed the movement outside from time to time. The rain outside became lighter again, and then stopped, and the cicadas made noisy calls on the trees.
At this time, the night fell quietly in the forest. It ran around in the haze, hoping to find its mother and them, but it couldn't catch any information, so it had to go back to the original entrance of the cave. At this moment, it smelled the scent of the zokole, not inside the cave, but outside. It stretched its neck and looked around warily, and found half a zokole's broken leg on the grass. It was horrified and quickly got into the cave, which was empty and pitch-black.
It crawled deep to look for its mother and them, but when it crawled more than a hundred meters away, it smelled the strong smell emanating from the zokors, but no zokors could be seen. It even guessed that these smells were left in the cave a long time ago. Because the air did not flow and could not be dissipated, it became silted inside. It fearfully wondered if its mother and the others had died outside one by one. Just now, he saw half of a zokole's broken leg on the edge of the cave.
At this moment, it felt extremely lonely and trapped in survival. Deep in the damp cave, it crawled forward in confusion. Suddenly, a heavy thing pressed on its back, and then hugged its body. It quickly calmed down from the shock, because the person hugging it was not scary. thing, but the mother it is looking for.
Where did mom come from? It freaked me out. Xiaohua turned over and spoke face to face with her mother.
I hid in another cave next to this one, more secluded than this one. Mom said with a choked voice, "This time we went out unexpectedly and suffered heavy losses. Your brother and sister were eaten by vultures and wild wolves."
After hearing what her mother said, Xiaohua's mind reappeared on the screen of half a zokole's broken leg at the edge of the cave.
Now it's just you and a sister. Mom let go of the little flower.
Xiaohua asked where her sister was, and her mother took her to the place where they were hiding. The little sister was sleeping on the ground. When she saw them coming, she half-opened her sleepy eyes and said nothing, as if she was sleepy.
Xiaohua said to her mother that we must find a safer place to forage in the future. It is not safe to go out foraging during the day, so it is best to go out late at night.
Mom said while habitually biting lice on her body, "If I weren't afraid that you children would starve, I would never venture out of the cave during the day."
Since this is the case, from now on, no matter how hungry I am during the day, I will still endure it and never risk my life. Xiaohua said with some awareness.
At this time, the younger sister stretched and stood up, silently staying close to her mother, as if she was afraid of losing support. After being frightened when it came out of the cave, it no longer dared to act rashly. It always followed its mother and sister closely. Even in the middle of the night, it would not go out alone.
Late one night, a family of three came out of the cave and came to a peanut field on the north side of the mountain. Before entering, my mother would always check for the sound of the wind. Suddenly, she heard a barking dog, followed by the scream of a zokor. It hurriedly After retreating, Xiaohua and her sister thought that something had happened, so they followed their mother to a piece of grass farther away. Her mother said, did you recognize the zokor's cry just now?
who is it? Xiaohua looked at it inexplicably and said, "Mom, how do we know?" I don't dare to take the risk to see it.
All right! Let me tell you, I am very familiar with that cry. It was made by your father. It was probably caught by a hound.
