Chapter 205:
field.
A little boy sitting under a tree suddenly saw something jumping around very flexibly in the field, jumping up and down, so fast that it was invisible in the blink of an eye.
The little boy was immediately attracted to put down the lollipop in his hand and concentrate on this strange thing he had never seen before.
After a while, the little boy finally waited until the strange thing stopped jumping around, and then gradually saw the true face of the other party's Mount Lu.
This is a small animal with a very slender body and short limbs. The fur on the back is brown, the abdomen is clean white, and there is a black tail on the tip of the tail. It looks like a weasel.
After watching for a while, the little boy was sure that he had not seen this kind of creature before, and he suddenly walked towards the grandmother who was working in the field ahead with doubts.
"Grandma, what animal is this?" The little boy pointed in the direction of the strange creature in the field.
After the little boy's grandmother heard her grandson's voice, she wiped the sweat from her forehead with her elbow, and squinted in the direction her grandson pointed.
Seconds later, the little boy's grandmother identified the creature.
"You said that, it is a stoat, similar to a weasel, it eats mice, it is beneficial to us, and it can protect the farmland, you usually don't want to catch it casually, be careful that it bites you, its teeth can be sharp! "
The little boy nodded when he heard the exact answer, "Why is it called a ferret? I don't think it's white!"
Except for the fur on its belly, its back is all tan!
The little boy's grandmother knew more than him, and quickly explained: "That's because people change into all white fur in winter, and it's not easy to be found hidden in the snow, so it's called a ferret!"
The little boy was surprised, "That's amazing. In winter, it will definitely be more beautiful!"
"Of course!" The little boy's grandmother nodded in agreement, recalling the appearance of the ferret she had seen by chance several times in the winter.
That white ferret is simply a cute little angel, and it is even more attractive with a pinch of black on its tail.
Perhaps because of the beautiful fur on the stoats, many people used to catch stoats to get their fur and use it to make clothes and scarves!
In recent years, ferrets have been classified as one of the three national animals. In addition, the society has been advocating environmental protection and rejecting animal skins. Therefore, the living environment of ferrets has become much better and gradually recovered, and their reproductive ability is particularly strong. Today, they can also be seen jumping from time to time in the farmland.
Fortunately, stoats eat mice, which is good for the farmland, so farmers like them instead of hating them.
"Then I must come back in winter to see if it is as beautiful as I imagined!" the little boy longed.
"Okay!" The little boy's grandmother agreed with a smile. If she could find it, she would like to see the beautiful ferret again.
[It turns out to be a ferret! 】
【It even changes colors! I really want to come to winter quickly, I think it must be very beautiful when I hear it! 】
[After waiting for so long, I finally know what kind of animal Xingxing is in this life! 】
The conversation between Tian Li's grandparents and grandson finally let the audience in the live broadcast room know the identity of Chen Xing in this life, and also let Chen Xing determine the specific species of his life.
Doing the math, Chen Xing has been more than a month old in his life. When he was less than a month old, he was sleeping all day except for breastfeeding. He couldn't even open his eyes. It was only recently that he finally opened his eyes and saw this. What does the world look like.
This time, Chen Xing and himself have five brothers and sisters, which are not many at all. However, they were very small when they were born, so they would not look too big when they were squeezed together on the mother ferret to drink milk. crowded.
So far, Chen Xing and four other siblings have been living in a cave under a stone crevice, and haven't had a chance to go out and see the world for the time being.
Until Chen Xing and the others are a little older now, their eyes can be opened, and they are even about to be weaned, they finally begin to be eager to try the outside world.
This time, when the mother ferret was out foraging and hunting, Chen Xing and several other siblings poked their heads and looked at the outside world through the cracks in the stones, all curious.
It was precisely because of this attempt that Chen Xing overheard the conversation between the grandparents and grandchildren in front of him, and finally learned of the species in his life, the ferret.
Although Chen Xing has not seen what his mother looks like in his life since he was able to open his eyes a month old, Chen Xing does not know all animals, so even if he stays by his mother's side, he has never been able to find out. What kind of species is their family, they can only guess through the appearance of their mother that they may be related to weasels.
And Chen Xing's guess is obviously not wrong. Although their family is not a weasel, it is also a ferret closely related to weasel.
Of course, if you wait until winter, the difference in appearance will become very big. After all, I heard from the grandma just now that the ferret will change into a layer of snow-white fur in winter, which can be completely and always yellow. Brown weasels are distinguished.
After figuring out the specific species of his life, Chen Xing was also a little happy, and then he saw how the mother stoat hunted not far away.
Ferrets can eat a lot of food, including bugs, fish, birds, and rodents. They can also eat some plant berries. Therefore, as long as their hunting ability is decent, they should not starve themselves to death.
This is farmland, so there are a lot of rats that harm the food.
Now the mother ferret is staring at a fat mouse.
Relying on the tan fur on her back, the mother stoat hides well in the farmland, gradually approaching the mice that are foraging in the field.
The ferret has a slender body, very agile and flexible movements, and light steps. Under the gaze of Chen Xing and the surrounding brothers and sisters, the ferret mother in front of her quickly approached the mouse she was staring at.
Just as the little boy felt just now, if he didn't stare at the ferret mother carefully, it would be difficult to see her quick and quick movements for a while, and he could only vaguely see something shaking in the field.
It is precisely because the mother ferret is too sensitive that the big mouse she was staring at suddenly did not respond.
And when the mouse finally reacted, the ferret mother had already arrived in front of it, and then jumped forward, easily biting the neck of the big mouse.
Although the mother ferret is small and her teeth naturally cannot grow anywhere, it is difficult to quickly pierce the mouse's arteries, but if she sticks in place for a while, and keeps the mouse in its original state, it can still cause the mouse to shock and die.
After waiting for a while, the mother ferret consumed the prey in her mouth and successfully harvested a large mouse as food.
To the naked eye, the big mouse in the mouth of the ferret mother is probably half the size of her body. Comparing this size gap, it can be imagined that the ferret's fighting power is really good.
Of course, the prey today is just a mouse, and Chen Xing and his brothers and sisters admire the mother ferret very much. When the mother ferret successfully hunts a larger prey in the future, they will only be more excited. .
The mice in the fields are cleaner than the mice in the city, at least they don’t drill into the sewers. The farmers keep a lot of small animals at home, and many people are not willing to sprinkle rat poison everywhere, so as not to accidentally harm their own children. Animals, so many mice in the fields are fairly clean.
The situation that Chen Xing was worried about did not happen.
After successfully catching the mouse, the stoat mother found a hidden corner and dragged the prey in. She stayed in it and slowly filled her stomach. Even if there were any leftovers, she could keep it for later.
Stoats can also eat carrion without wasting hard-earned prey.
