Xiaohua and her sister were silent. They had never seen their father since they were born, and they didn't know what his father was like. Of course, they didn't have any feelings, and his father wouldn't know them. In the animal world, the husband of this kind of zokor only cares about breeding with his wife, and does not care about anything else after that. The burden of childbearing and raising is borne by the female zokor. The female zokor has no resentment, even if her husband leaves and finds a second wife. Wife, it also turned a deaf ear, as if it was a matter of course. As far as the zokor family is concerned, the female has a great dedication character, while the male appears to be overly selfish and dissociated, as if he is an optimist in the zokor race, only seeking personal possessions but not taking any responsibility.
After a while, the three zokors slipped out of the grass, climbed over a mountain, and fled to the west of the mountain. They found a peanut field again, and the air was filled with the fragrance of peanut grass leaves. The mother zokor took the lead again, followed by her two children. They came to a peanut field and stretched their necks to see if there was any movement. There was no movement, but they found a straw hut on the other side of the peanut field, protruding like a hill. The mother zokor sneaked close to the mountain, but she heard snoring coming from inside. It was obvious that someone was guarding her. The mother was a thief. She knew that people were sleeping as if they were dead and did not care about anything, so there would not be too much danger. Then he led the two children to sneak to the other end of the peanut field far away from the hay shed, where they quietly pulled out the peanut plants one by one, greedily chewed the peanut rhizomes, and removed the young peanut fruits attached to the rhizomes. Chew it and spit out a layer of white and tender peanut shells on the ground.
At this moment, a beam of light lit up in the thatched hut that was still in the dark. The beam of light turned around and pierced the night sky quickly like a bright sword. At this moment, the three zokors were not yet alert and were still eating peanuts pulled out of the soil with relish. Suddenly a beam of light fell on the peanut field, shining brightly. Xiao Hua, who was pulling out the peanut plant, immediately stopped moving and turned away from Rou Qiu Qiu's body. Just as he was about to slip away, the light beam dodged away from it again.
Suddenly, a chirping sound came from the side of the hut, and Xiaohua came to her mother alertly and said that she had discovered the situation. The old zokole said it was clear and explained: The shed guard woke up just now and came out to relieve himself. The beam of light was emitted by him when he turned on the flashlight. The sound was the urine he dropped on the grass like a string. No need. Fear. If he goes back to sleep, nothing will happen tonight. If he... Before the old zokura could finish speaking, he stopped and turned around to escape from the peanut field. Of course, Xiaohua and his sister followed suit. That's because after the shed guard relieved himself, he walked towards the peanut field while using the flashlight beam to shine. The shed guard was a tall man, very smart, and his ears were very smart. He seemed to vaguely hear the sound of chewing peanuts or something, but it was not clear, it was like a guess. He would rather believe it, so he walked in After walking around the peanut field with a flashlight, he found that many peanut plants had been uprooted, and piles of tender peanut shells rubbed against his feet from time to time. He thought angrily: Is this okay? People stayed in the sheds, and the peanut fields were invaded. He was convinced that this was a new animal infestation. He remembered that he had checked the peanut field a few hours ago and found that not a single peanut had been uprooted.
Since then, the farmers in this area have been highly vigilant and patrolled the dry land where sweet potatoes, peanuts, beans and other crops are planted at least three times every night. Most of them set up sheds next to the fields to guard them, and some even called their dogs to the grass sheds to guard them together. . Although ordinary domestic dogs will not bite wild animals, they have a keen sense of smell and will bark when they smell any strange smell. In this way, even if the people in the hayloft are asleep, they will suddenly wake up to check the situation. Therefore, Ordinary wild animals dare not attack rashly.
These days, the hunters in the village are also very sensitive. When they heard that there was animal damage to the crop fields on the mountainside, they sneaked into the foothills to wait, first to get rid of the damage, and secondly, to hope for a harvest. However, several hunters waited separately for a long time and failed to hunt a four-legged wild animal. This was a disaster for the pheasants on the mountain. Pheasants love to crow, and their crows will expose themselves. Hunters are patrolling and calling and hiding in the trees. If they find a pheasant, they will tactfully throw a stone at the target. The pheasant is frightened, fearing that it cannot escape or win on the ground, so it jumps up and flies After emerging from the thorn bush, the wings with colorful feathers and the heavy body jumped into the air, and the hunter's shotgun fired suddenly. Calling it a shotgun is not accurate enough. It is actually a blunderbuss made by the villagers. The barrel of the blunderbuss is filled with explosives mixed with a large number of bullets. Once you have sighted the target, you just need to pull the trigger and it will burst into flames. Look at this After a while, a ball of sparks was fired out with a "swish". The bullets came out of the barrel and flew in the shape of a trumpet. There were countless bullets, and one or more of them would hit the pheasant that took off. Generally, it would miss the target. There are few. As long as the gun is fired, a pheasant will fall down from the air...
After the old zokus escaped that night with his two children, he came again two nights later. At first, they didn't come here, but approached other farmers' peanut fields. But as soon as they got close to the edge, they were scared away. . Because they were discovered by hunting dogs or local dogs, and they chased and barked with bright green eyes. The guard then walked out of the hut, carrying a stick or something in his hand and followed the direction the dog led.
At this time, the old zokor had fled to a safe area, rested for a while, and discussed with the child where to find food. Xiaohua crawled to her mother and said that now that the villagers have discovered us, we are not allowed to go to any thatched hut where someone is waiting with a dog. Going there is like arousing the enemy. So where to find food? I thought it would be safer to go into the peanut, sweet potato, and bean fields next to the hayloft where no dogs were guarding them. Although the watchmen patrolled from time to time, there were always times when they fell asleep.
The old zokou thought this idea was good, so he said he would give it a try.
So, they circled many times that night. There were eight hills of crop fields planted with peanuts and other crops in this area, but there were six dogs squatting in front of the huts to look after them. They were discovered before they even got close. What followed was They ran away in fear, but fortunately the guard dog only barked a few times and did not pursue them, making the environment for them to escape relatively loose. There were only two fields without dogs to guard them, one for sweet potatoes and one for peanuts, so they naturally became targets for sneak attacks. Now they came near the family who had built a straw shed next to the peanut field, observing and preparing to take action.
Xiaohua was passing her mother and sister and slipped into the peanut field. Suddenly her mother sent a signal - evacuate quickly because there is something wrong. Xiaohua retreated with her tail between her legs and looked back. The light came on again in the hay shed, and a tall man walked towards the peanut field. The little flower didn't dare to look any further, so she followed her mother for a while and came to another sweet potato field that was already familiar to her. They looked around and found that it was the only place that was quiet. There was no hut next to it, which proved that no one was watching.
They continued to look for sweet potato roots, but there were not many left. The owner dug up all the sweet potatoes. This may be the reason why no one was watching them. But the old zok took his two children and searched repeatedly, and they were still able to find some sweet potato roots, but it just took a little more effort.
What makes them happy is that the several caves left in the soil are not damaged and can still be used for hiding, but the damaged ones are no longer useful. They didn't think too much about this at the moment, they just kept looking for food because they were hungry.
