The opportunity came, a vulture swooped down from the sky, bit a panicked hare on the mountain, pecked it to death, carried it to the nest on the old mountain cliff, and shared it with his wife.
Then the bird couple went into estrus, and soon the vulture wife laid four eggs in succession. She wanted to attach one of them, but as soon as she got close to the egg, it was pecked open by the ghost of a vulture. It hurt for a long time. , and approached another one. The egg was already filled with the ghost of the reincarnated vulture. It was afraid of being pecked, so it immediately backed away. It also saw that the last egg was still empty and was not occupied by the ghost of the reincarnated vulture. Let your own ghost in.
But after a while, he was driven out by the ghost of a large vulture that suddenly flew over. Looking at the sharp beak, it was afraid.
Suddenly, a ghost of a squirrel floated in the forest, and it followed it happily. In a deep cave in the mountain, a squirrel couple was hugging each other warmly. At this time, two more ghosts arrived, competing to sneak into the embryo of a female squirrel.
This hedgehog ghost covered in squirrel skin was worried about being rejected like a tiger fetus or a vulture egg, so he let the first three ghosts invest in the embryos of female squirrels, and then followed cautiously. There was no resistance at all. It had An unexpected joy.
A few months later, four squirrel cubs were born in this deep cave. The squirrel cub reincarnated by the hedgehog was the last one born without opening its eyes. When the squirrel mother saw it crawling blindly, she put the bottom one of the row of swollen breasts close to it. mouth.
For a moment, the sound of sucking breasts was heard.
Their parents are very dedicated and conscientious. You see, the squirrel husband knew that his wife was in confinement, so he took the initiative to go out and get some protein-rich food such as reptiles for his wife to eat and produce milk.
Ten days later, the four fleshy ball-like squirrels all grew green fur. Most of them followed their mother, while their father scouted in front. When he found out about danger, he climbed to a higher branch and wagged his tail several times. , even if a signal is given, the mother's eyes are constantly staring at the father in front, and it is easiest to grasp the trends in front, so as to make a decision to advance or retreat or hide to protect the safety of herself and her four children.
The Squirrel couple named their four children. The eldest, second, third, and fourth children were named Xiaomu, Xiaogong, Xiaojiu, and Xiaoyu in turn. Xiaoyu, also called Xiaoyao, is the reincarnation of a hedgehog. The other three children, like Xiaoyu, also have unfortunate past life backgrounds, which Father Squirrel knows better.
It was originally not spiritual enough. Because it frequently went to the monastery in the west of the forest to forage for food, the sound of monks chanting sutras could be heard. At first glance, it was surprised and even frightened, thinking that the embattled hunters were going to besiege it. However, this worry It is superfluous. That kind of sound has a mysterious calming effect. If you listen carefully, your mood will calm down. The more you listen, the more peaceful and auspicious you will feel. Gradually, it will develop the habit of listening to scriptures. After a period of time, it will actually increase your spirituality. .
On days when they are in heat, they hunt for food to please their wives. Once when it went to the north of the forest island, it climbed up a tall pine tree. The top of the pine tree was facing the window of a private house. It jumped to the top of the tree and looked into the deep window. There was a beam of light shining inside. There are three pieces of bacon on the beam. What kind of bacon are they? As soon as it looked and smelled it, it knew it was the smoked bacon of three hunted squirrels.
It retracted its body angrily and vaguely felt the ghosts of the three squirrels floating around. After being instructed by the Animal God, it went to the Chakravartin Palace to participate in the reincarnation ceremony and was reincarnated as squirrels. The destination of their reincarnation was exactly where it was. The wife who was pregnant... now has three children, the eldest is male, the second is female, and the third is male. Only the fourth, a girl, is special and is not the reincarnation of a squirrel.
The spiritual squirrel father can sense many things. At dawn that day, the whole family returned to the cave to sleep. Most animals in general stay up during the day and come out at night, and squirrels are no exception.
At this time, the wife and children who had eaten outside were all asleep. It suddenly felt bad. It used its mouth and forelimbs to move the children who were curled up one by one, and made a terrifying cry. Everyone woke up. , it told everyone in the language of squirrels that it was very dangerous here and they should move away quickly. The family followed it out of the cave and found a strong wind blowing outside, fog and clouds flying in the sky, lightning and thunder, and heavy rain.
All I saw was a landslide. In an instant, the cave they escaped from was flooded by a flash flood.
The father squirrel led his family to escape deep into the forest and climbed up a towering old tree. There was a cave at the top of the old tree. Xiaomu, Xiaogong, Xiaojiu and Xiaoyu got in one by one. Their bodies were soaked by the rain. , one by one shaking with fear of cold. Although the deep cave is dark, it is dry and warm, and it can accommodate or rather accommodate such a family.
The mother squirrel squatted motionless at the entrance of the cave, her eyes wandering in the dense rain. The father squirrel, who had already entered the cave, knew that she was worried about a sneak attack by hunters, so he said: Come in! I have calculated that most hunters will not go into the mountains to hunt when it rains heavily.
When the weather cleared up, the father squirrel took the whole family out to look for food again. It was really smart, and the place where he took the whole family to look for food was relatively safe.
They eat both meat and vegetables, and after the family has finished eating, the mother squirrel leads her children to a safe area to hide, while the father squirrel quietly sneaks behind the temple, climbs the pine tree and quietly listens to the elders and monks chanting sutras.
After a while, the squirrel father heard a commotion, and he didn't care about it. He still listened to the scriptures seriously in the direction of the temple.
Suddenly the pine branches were swaying. It quickly turned around and grabbed the main trunk of the pine tree, only to find the youngest Xiaoyu coming. It said, "My child, listening to the scriptures is very interesting and meaningful, but it is too dangerous here. You should go back." Now you have followed me here secretly. I don’t know if your mother knows.
Xiaoyu waggled her tail and said she didn't know, and said, Dad, I like to follow you. You listen to the scriptures on the tree, while I look for food under the tree!
No, kid, I told you, it's too dangerous here, it's safer to go back to where your mother and brothers and sisters are.
As soon as Daddy Squirrel finished speaking, there was a "bang" gunshot. Xiaoyu shivered with fright, then he raised his two forelimbs and hugged Daddy Squirrel's neck tightly. The father squirrel alertly pushed Xiaoyu away and let him hug the tree trunk and crawl toward the dense pine leaves until it was able to hide.
The father squirrel jumped up and hid himself among the dense pine leaves. He was only a few meters away from Xiaoyu. He whispered: Silly children, hug us together. If the hunter finds out, he will raise his shotgun and kill us together. .
Xiao Yu felt panicked and caught a glimpse of a terrifying scene through the cracks in the pine trees: a young hunter, with a freshly killed badger pig hanging upside down from the back end of the shotgun on his shoulder. The neck where he was shot was still dripping with red blood. On the path Some of the grass blades were dyed red.
