Chapter 211:
Chen Xing did not walk around, he left directly in the direction of a river.
Along the way, only Chen Xing, a ferret, walked alone on the road. The ferret mother could not see her figure for a long time and stayed in place, while several other brothers and sisters also set foot in different directions, and the routes did not overlap.
Fortunately, there is a large area of farmland, and there are people not far away, so there are not many wild animals near the farmland, and it is good luck to occasionally see a few hares.
Along the way, there were no natural enemies that might cause harm to him. Chen Xing did not experience any danger in the process of leaving alone. In addition, Chen Xing was very clever, and he deliberately avoided places where there might be people along the way. The probability of danger is naturally A lot lower again.
After more than an hour of jumping like this, Chen Xing, who was very patient, finally stopped and did not go further.
The area where Chen Xing is now is still near the farmland, but it must be quite a distance away from where the ferret mother is. Unless they are deliberately approached, it will be difficult for the mother and son to meet again.
Most of the other brothers and sisters who want to come to Chen Xing have the same choices.
Chen Xing hadn't smelled the scent marks left by other unfamiliar stoats near this farmland, which also proved that this is an unowned area, and there are no strangers of the same kind, which is suitable for Chen Xing, who has just been born. The juvenile ferret who walked out of the house took over the territory.
There is farmland nearby, and there is a steady stream of streams as water sources. Chen Xing is quite satisfied with the territory he found today, at least he will not worry about eating and drinking in the next few days.
Chen Xing didn't want to go any further, so he planned to settle down here for the time being. If it was suitable, he would settle it later. If he lived in a place that felt unsuitable for a few days, he would continue to look outside.
Now that this area has been selected, the first thing Chen Xingtou has to do is to choose a suitable residence.
Ferrets can't dig holes, so they all look for tree holes, rock crevices, or even burrows to **** prey like the previous ferret mothers to get a suitable shelter.
Chen Xing was no exception this time.
On the edge of the farmland is a small forest that is growing well, and Chen Xing continued to jump over.
Thinking of the first home in his life, Chen Xing's first choice this time was to see if there were any rock crevices nearby that might hide.
The ferret is not very big. For many creatures, the very narrow stone seam is a good choice for today's Chen Xing, and it can add more defense capabilities.
Unfortunately, Chen Xing searched the nearby woods for a while, but couldn't find a suitable stone crevice. After all, there are not many stones here.
After a lot of useless efforts, Chen Xing, who had never succeeded, had to give up this option and instead looked for other available caves, such as tree holes.
The trees in this forest are quite thick, but Chen Xing is looking for trees that are not growing so well, to see if there are tree holes that can accommodate them.
Chen Xing's speed is fast, coupled with his sharp eyes, the process of finding the tree hole was smooth, and he quickly found a tree hole that might be useful.
Looking up and seeing a tree hole in the tree in front of him, Chen Xing immediately climbed up the big tree with all his limbs and moved towards the goal.
The tree hole is only more than one meter away from the ground. Chen Xing, who is good at climbing trees, came to the tree hole at once, and a small brown-white head tentatively looked at the scene inside the tree hole.
As a result, before Chen Xing could see what was in the tree hole, a small gray figure suddenly rushed out of the tree hole, passed over Chen Xing's head, and flew towards the top of the tree.
This movement made Chen Xing who was caught off guard suddenly startled.
All of a sudden, Chen Xing's attention was attracted by the figure that suddenly emerged from the tree hole. Now, he didn't have time to pay attention to the specific situation in the tree hole. Instead, he turned his head to look at the gray figure just now.
【I see it clearly! It's a little squirrel! 】
[That's right, I saw it too, the action is so fast, I almost startled me just now! 】
[I didn't expect it to be a little squirrel! I was so scared that I thought something was going to be bad for the stars! 】
【Little squirrel! It's a pity that it ran away without seeing what it looked like. I don't know if there are any stars so cute! 】
Based on the discussion of the audience in the live broadcast room, Chen Xing finally determined that the gray figure that suddenly appeared just now turned out to be a small squirrel.
Speaking of which, some squirrels themselves live in tree holes. It is normal for Chen Xing to bump into this little squirrel just now.
It's a pity that this little squirrel was too timid and too fast. Although it collided with Chen Xing, it left only a vague gray figure, and even couldn't see what it looked like.
After Chen Xing and the audience recognized that the creature turned out to be a small squirrel, the figure of the little squirrel disappeared in this small forest at once, and did not know where it went.
Even if Chen Xing and the audience in the live broadcast room wanted to catch up and take a look, the other party would not give them this chance at all.
Chen Xing sighed in his heart, no longer paying attention to the little squirrel that was no longer visible, and turned to look at the tree hole that he had just spotted.
The space in the tree hole is not small, Chen Xingguang knew by visual inspection that this space can definitely accommodate a ferret like him, and even another one will not be a problem.
However, a batch of nuts stacked in the tree hole showed that this was not an unowned tree hole.
Chen Xing looked at the batch of nuts piled in the corner of the tree hole, and understood that this was the food that the gray squirrel he had scared off just now saved hard, and eight/nine times out of ten it was the other party's supplies for the winter.
The life of squirrels in the wild is not easy. In order to survive this cold winter, it is necessary to collect enough food before winter arrives. Otherwise, under the harsh conditions of winter, it will not be able to survive at all, and you will not be able to see the coming year. spring.
Chen Xing looked at the batch of nuts stacked in the corner, and immediately lost his interest in taking this tree hole as his own.
Speaking of which, squirrels are also one of the recipes for stoats. If you replace them with other stoats, you can take the prey's burrow as your own without even thinking about it.
However, Chen Xing used to be a squirrel anyway, and he has a selfishness and preference for small fluffy animals. Under the premise of conditions, let alone use squirrels as food, even occupy the other party's Nest can't do it.
Chen Xing glanced at the tree hole that was very neatly taken care of by the gray squirrel, and without hesitation, he withdrew his gaze, turned and jumped off the tree, and began to look for other shelters.
I hope that the squirrel that left just now is more courageous, and can finally return to this tree hole to continue its peaceful life, so as not to waste the pile of nuts accumulated in the tree hole.
Abandoning the tree hole that originally belonged to squirrels, Chen Xing continued to look for other tree holes or shelter.
After looking around again, it took Chen Xing nearly half an hour to find a suitable nest again. It was still a tree hole, but it was some distance away from the squirrel nest just now, and there were even piles inside. Some feather twigs, but the smell in the nest is very light, and Chen Xing suspects that this may have been a bird's nest.
However, this may also be suitable for Chen Xing. The volume of this suspected bird's nest is still very spacious for him, not crowded at all, and he can turn around and change positions anywhere inside, and it is also kept very dry, and there are no insects. Plus those feather twigs that are already there, it can also add some warmth...
All in all, the suspected bird's nest this time is better than the squirrel nest just now, and there is no owner for a long time, which is suitable for today's Chen Xing.
Finally found a suitable place to live, Chen Xing first marked the tree hole, so that after he left, this place was accidentally occupied by others.
After marking and letting the tree hole smell his scent, Chen Xing did not choose to rest directly, but ran towards the nearby stream.
This is also something that can't be helped. I was kicked out of the house by the ferret mother this morning before eating. Chen Xing is still empty. Now that he has found a place to live, the next thing to do is to fill his stomach. abdomen.
For the first time away from the big family, and in the future to live alone as a ferret, Chen Xing finally took the matter of disgusting mice outright.
On the rare first day away from the family, Chen Xing didn't intend to attack the mice. What he was focusing on now were the small fish and shrimp in the stream.
Although under the hands of the ferret mother, it is not that she has never eaten mouse meat. Until now, Chen Xing and his brothers and sisters have not eaten a bad stomach. However, Chen Xing still does not want to overcome the hurdle in his heart. If he can refuse the mouse, he will refuse. mouse.
After a while, Chen Xing, who was so hungry, came to the stream. He first lowered his head and drank a few mouthfuls of sweet stream water to quench his thirst, and then set his eyes on the small fish swimming freely in the stream.
Speaking of catching small fish, the stoat mother has also demonstrated in front of several cubs, but compared with the common prey of mice, the stoat mother's skills in catching small fish appear to be insufficient. This also made Chen Xing and other cubs less likely to use small fish as prey.
But this is not difficult for Chen Xing.
When the sea otter Chen Xing did not know how many animals in the water he had eaten in his life, the eyesight that he should have when hunting has long been exercised. Even if he has not used it for a while, he can recover quickly after reviewing for a while. what a problem.
In addition, the nearby human beings do not like these small fish and shrimp in the stream, and the nutrition of the stream is also rich, resulting in a very good breeding ground for the small fish and shrimp in it, the density is not low, and the movements are slow. Vigilance is not strong.
The combination of these reasons caused Chen Xing to be very relaxed in the following fishing process.
Chen Xing just squatted by the creek and stared at the prey closely. Then, he found the timing, angle, and strength. With a thud of his mouth, he would be able to hit the prey in all likelihood.
The dull little fish was suddenly bitten by Chen Xing's mouth, and finally sensed the danger, and immediately fluttered and struggled in Chen Xing's mouth, causing the water droplets on his body to fly everywhere.
Chen Xing naturally couldn't let the prey that reached his mouth be freed, and continued to bite tightly without letting go. He didn't mind the water droplets thrown on him, and immediately took the prey in his mouth and found a hidden place to eat.
