Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 93 Narcissistic White-rumped Deer

"How strange, why is there only one deer?"

Chen Ying looked around and confirmed that this was the only stag within sight.

Although generally speaking, male white-tailed deer live alone, for the deer in the breeding season, such a beautiful and strong male deer will definitely not miss this wonderful time.

Chen Ying sensed that the deer refused to communicate, so he didn't dare to get too close. He could only circle around to observe whether it had any injuries or disabilities.

After looking at it all, I didn't see anything that would be disliked by the doe.

"This is strange. Could it be that this deer is a bachelor?"

Curious Chen Ying decided to stay for one night and observe the surrounding white-tailed deer to see if he could find anything.

There were many small animals living in this area, and the two men took great pains to find a safe place to set up camp. Finally, they found a natural cave near the junction of bushes and bare mountain rocks and set up their tent.

After the tent was set up, we took out the camp stove and started to make a fire to cook.

It’s cold in the mountains, and having a hot meal is more joyful than anything else.

What they brought with them when they went up the mountain was fried rice. They added it to the boiling water, and then put in dehydrated vegetables, ham, luncheon meat and the like, and added a little salt before eating.

It’s similar to porridge, but the rice soup is not thick. It feels a bit like rice soaked in soup with harder rice grains.

Sometimes they would also bring their own homemade rice crusts. They were not afraid of crushing them. They would just put them into the soup and cook them until they were soft and fragrant.

If you add a little dried chicken to the soup and boil it for an hour, it will become chicken soup rice. Add some freshly picked wild vegetables and fresh mushrooms, it will be so delicious that it will make your tongue fall off.

It's a pity that this is a high-altitude area. Everywhere they look, they see either rare plants that cannot be picked casually, or young leaves of shrubs that cannot be eaten. It is only thanks to modern technology that we can eat dehydrated vegetables.

"Oh my god, it's so cold, is it going to snow tonight?"

After looking at the overcast weather for a while, Chen Ying turned around and stamped her feet.

If it really snows, they will have to speed up their return journey.

Although you are walking down the mountain, once the temperature drops on the plateau snow-capped mountains, it will drop so fast that you will be frozen to death before you can react.

Yin Li is also cold, but better than Chen Ying.

He took out his location app and looked at it for a while before deciding to change his route and head southwest from the meadow.

"There is a large alpine meadow over there, and there are forest fire fighters stationed there. Besides, this season should be the time when herders migrate to other pastures, so maybe we can run into them."

Judging from the location registered in the backstage, it is about half a day's journey away from them.

If we leave early tomorrow morning, we should be able to arrive in the afternoon.

The premise is that the wind and snow are not too strong.

Luck can be said to be good or bad.

There was a light snow in the first half of the night, but it melted before the floor was laid.

In the second half of the night, it turned into a drizzle and the wind was very strong, making the howling sound scary.

It was almost eleven o'clock in the morning when the sun finally broke through the clouds and cast its golden light on this alpine grassland.

The two were so cold that they didn't dare to leave the tent until the wind stopped and the rain stopped, then they opened a crack in the tent.

"Oh my god, turn it off, it's so cold."

Chen Ying, who didn't have time to put on her winter clothes, was blown by the wind and shuddered all over, with goose bumps appearing instantly.

When the two wrapped themselves in thick clothes and walked out of the tent, they saw a cute elf squatting on a rock three meters away.

(What a fuss! Haven’t you seen a rabbit basking in the sun?)
The two of them made quite a lot of noise, but the pika didn't know if it was frozen or something, but it didn't show any sign of being scared and hiding. Chen Ying picked a tender grass root and placed it in front of it. The pika looked at it calmly, opened its mouth and bit it, and then continued to bask in the sun or think about its life as a rabbit?
Chen Ying wanted to continue teasing it when there was another movement nearby. This time the pika moved, quickly jumped off the stone, and hid in a temporary cave next to the crevice.

When I looked up, I saw it was the same white-rumped deer from yesterday, with white fur on its buttocks and a tall and strong body.

This time it did not leave in a hurry. It even took the initiative to approach Chen Ying and the others' tent, stopping about five meters away and staring at them.

Immediately forgetting about the escaping pika, Chen Ying repeated his old trick and took some fresh branches and leaves to feed the beautiful deer.

"Hi, you're so beautiful."

The white-tailed deer glanced at Chen Ying, then lowered its head and took the tender leaves from his hand.

"Dude, why don't you find a girlfriend? Isn't this the season for having babies?"

The white-tailed deer turned its face away, and there was a hint of melancholy in its eyes.

"Yes, but if you want to have children, you have to fight with other males first."

This is quite normal, isn't it the same in the animal kingdom?
"I don't like it, it's too bloody. Two deer in my tribe broke their antlers in a fight over mating. It's so ugly!"

The white-tailed deer seemed to recall that scene and stamped its feet in a irritated manner.

"Why do we have to fight? There are so many females. If this one doesn't work, just switch to another one. Why do we have to fight?"

Chen Ying didn't say anything, he was stunned.

This stag that looks so strong is actually afraid of fighting?

Perhaps because it suddenly had someone to talk to, the white-tailed deer changed its previous cold and silent attitude and chatted with Chen Ying while eating the tender leaves of the bushes.

"How do my antlers look? Pretty, right? I'm not exaggerating, but no deer around here can compare to mine. If I get into a fight with another deer and break my antlers, would that be a loss?"

It seems like you're at a loss. No, that's getting off topic, old deer. Compared to reproduction, your antlers are nothing. They won't stop growing if they break!
Chen Ying thought so and said so, which made Lu anxious.

"Well, will the new growth be as beautiful as it is now?"

"Also, there's also that fight between two deer. Breaking their antlers is no big deal. You know, when I was a kid, I saw two deer from another tribe fighting. One of them got itself stuck in a tree branch, and then, only its head was left stuck in the branch!"

Hearing the hidden fear in the heart of this big beautiful deer, Chen Ying didn't know how to comfort it.

That kind of situation does happen, but it's not a common phenomenon, right? All we can say is that the deer was really destined to die there.

The white-tailed deer took small steps in annoyance, left Chen Ying, and lowered its head to nibble on the moss on the ground.

"Hurry up and pack up and go. If we don't leave now, we won't reach the grassland by night."

Chen Ying's things had already been packed away. Now they packed up the tent and sleeping bag tightly, and the two of them put on their backpacks and prepared to go down the mountain.

The white-tailed deer looked at them curiously, eating the tender shoots and following them down the mountain.

After walking about a hundred meters and crossing the rocky area, we saw more than twenty white-tailed deer foraging in the sparse bushland below.

A little further away from them, two male deer were eager to compete for the favor of their beloved deer.

The white-tailed deer that followed them down the mountain was stunned after seeing the herd and wanted to retreat, but its attention was attracted by one of the female deer.

At that moment, love struck its heart, and it couldn't help but take a few steps forward.

At this moment, a male deer rushed over sideways. The horns on its head were taller than the deer and more unique in shape, like two sharp spears, aimed at the narcissistic white-tailed deer.

My dear, I posted my thoughts on the release of the book, but it seems that because it was posted in the work-related section, it was not pushed? How could I let it go? I was really anxious to ask for subscriptions and monthly votes!
