【Ye Yi】Animal Instinct Animal Instinct

The sky was still not clear, the temperature of the water surface was much higher than that of the air, and a large group of white mist gathered and floated back and forth on the lake.The shore before sunrise was silent, only a few trees bearing shriveled fruits stood in the shadows, their branches and leaves were sparse and almost withered.The soil from decaying leaves was wet and smelly and black, and there was a slight frost on the grass.

Everything portends: winter is coming.

This place was originally a garbage dump, and a large amount of garbage would be dumped regularly, but after being ordered to close, it gradually became deserted and became a wasteland devoid of human activities.There was a sudden rustling sound in the pitch-black reed field, and with the shaking of plant stems, a black and slender figure appeared among the dense reeds.

Swamps are not a good place for wolves to look for food. This black-backed gray wolf seemed to have lost its way, so it just stumbled in by mistake.It is easy to sink when stepping on such soft soil, so he started to trot—although he didn't mind getting his feet wet, he still tried to get out of this predicament as soon as possible.

Gou Lang set foot in this area for the first time, so he sniffed here and there cautiously, and ran not fast.He is different from those predators who demarcate their own territory and stay still. Golang has no ethnic group, and almost never stays in the same place for more than a week.I don't know what force drove him on the journey, maybe it was just because there was nothing worthy of his nostalgia.

He has been walking for several days, and the last full meal was a day ago.Gou Lang is almost two years old, and the lifespan of a dog is about 15 years. Even if a wolf of his age endures hunger for a few days, his body will not feel tired easily. Moderate hunger can put him in the best state of agility and strength. State of readiness.He operates alone on the outskirts of the area where human beings live, and he has a decent life.

Gou Lang squeezed away the reeds and smelled the smell of the river. He wanted to find a place to rest in a slightly dry shoal on the shore, and find something to fill his stomach after the sun rose.The closer he got to the open land by the lake, the more he could feel puffs of cold air against his face.Suddenly, he heard a strange sound, so he stopped, pricked up his ears, and looked around.The cold wind was mixed with the smell of blood.Gou Lang shuddered for a moment, feeling that his body had already begun to jump up involuntarily.Instinctively, he restrained his footsteps, bent his limbs, and lowered his body to move forward.He looked towards the bush at the end of the reed leaves, and soon saw a color that didn't fit.With slender ears, a round body and white fur, although the animal struggled to climb ashore under the cover of plants, and then huddled up and turned its back on him, Gou Lang didn't need to identify it to know that it was a rabbit.

Moreover, it was a rabbit who was soaked and exhausted after falling into the water. For Gou Lang, the addition of these two things was no different from being at his mercy.Rabbits are quick-witted and very difficult to catch. Except for a disabled rabbit like this, it is extremely difficult to catch one in the open.It is reasonable to say that rabbits in late autumn and early winter will eat a lot of fat to survive the winter, but this one is obviously small and extremely thin, not enough for the dog Langsey's teeth.Is there any reason to refuse a free lunch that can be delivered to your door?

Gou Lang leaned forward, didn't speak rashly, but looked at the delicious meal. He fiddled with his front paw twice, and the originally motionless rabbit suddenly let out a breath.

oh.Although not completely dead, but not far from death.Gou Lang noticed bloodstains left on the grass that was pressed out behind the rabbit, and he could conclude that the rabbit had lost the ability to resist.Gou Lang lowered his head, poked the tip of his nose on the warm and soft side of the rabbit, sniffed carefully again, and smelled... an indescribable, never-before-smelled smell.It's very pungent, and it doesn't belong to any of Gou Lang's cognition of young wolves.

Gou Lang took two steps back and sat down, because of the smell he sneezed twice.He was very confused. Looking at the slightly undulating belly of the rabbit, he began to wonder if this was a trap for humans to trap animals.But the delicious food is in front of him, and Gou Lang is reluctant to give up.

Just as he was hesitating, the rabbit kicked its hind legs, twitched a few times, turned over, and opened its eyes.Maybe it was the wolf's face so close that he was stunned, or maybe he hadn't recovered from the shock of escaping the fate of drowning just now, but the rabbit didn't run away, and opened his big round brown eyes until He stared straight at Gou Lang.

Gou Lang thought it was very funny, he pulled the corner of his mouth to show his fangs and took a breath.

In the rabbit's ears, a low growl of a predator was naturally heard.The rabbit just woke up shivering like a dream. He was unable to move because of the injury, trembling all over nervously, his nose kept twitching, and he even let out a wheezing sound, as if he was about to suffocate.Gou Lang lightly patted his paw from the side of the rabbit's head, and the whole rabbit was patted and rolled around, with its belly sticking to the ground again.

Gou Lang stepped forward with one paw and pressed the white rabbit's shoulder blades, the other party was breathing heavily, and if you listened carefully, you could still hear what he was saying.

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to be eaten... Wuwuwu, can you bite me to death..."

Gou Lang was about to open his mouth to laugh at him, but he suddenly put away his smile, grabbed the rabbit by the back of the neck, jumped up without stopping, jumped over the shallow puddle behind the river beach, and plunged into the river water that was as deep as his shoulders .Gou Lang swam quickly across the river with his head held high and the rabbit in his mouth. When he looked back, several stray dogs were standing where they had been, making low noises to drive him away.

Gou Lang is not sure that he can keep the food he found first when the opponent's dogs are many and powerful, but it seems that they simply don't like him appearing in their territory.Gou Lang ignored this pretentious threat. Anyway, he didn't care about this wasteland at all, and the food was also available, so why not leave early.Gou Lang easily shook his body to shake off the water drops, turned his head and plunged into the wild grass.

He walked about a few kilometers with the booty in his mouth, and the thick hair had not been completely dried, but it was already bright.Gou Lang didn't like eating in an open place, he was too careless, so when he passed a forest farm, he chose to go there without hesitation.The forest farm is surrounded by barbed wire fences, but many places have not been repaired all year round.Gou Lang easily found a slope and got in. He didn't care if it was a forest used by humans for hunting or felling trees, or if it was just a piece of land surrounded, as long as he found a place to spend the night--today's The food is already available, and there is no need to expend extra physical energy to run around.

After the sun rose, it was not as cold as in the morning, and the woods were bright and warm.Gou Lang put the rabbit down on a steep slope.But the white rabbit was limp, and Gou Lang let go of his mouth and fell directly on the ground, "Hey, are you dead?" Gou Lang tentatively arched, but there was no big reaction.

"Wooooo." It took a while for the rabbit to tremble.

Gou Lang's pricked ears moved.

The rabbit seemed to be crying and moaning in pain, and tried to stand up, but fell down quickly.

Gou Lang sees all this in his eyes, sympathizing with food is a big taboo for hunters, although White Rabbit seems to have no desire and ability to survive at present, but he might jump up and run away at some point.So Gou Lang pressed down on him with both feet, and pressed half of his body on the rabbit.As long as he bites on the fragile neck of the rabbit, the life of this little rabbit will officially come to an end.

Gou Lang's sharp teeth had already touched the white rabbit's soft neck hair, but Gou Lang stuck out his tongue and licked the blood-stained ear of the rabbit in a mysterious way. But I don't know why there is an unpleasant smell, Gou Lang frowned and carefully distinguished it-this is the smell made by humans.

For an intelligent wolf, it's not hard to see why.Gou Lang soon realizes that his lunch has been drugged by humans.He was very glad that he didn't eat it hastily, otherwise he might be poisoned to death together.But Gou Lang is still not reconciled to throwing the rabbit away.

Observe for a while?Anyway, the rabbit is not dead yet.Gou Lang thought so, so he stuffed the rabbit between his two front paws, put his head on the rabbit's head, rested on this small white pillow, narrowed his eyes and dozed off, and prepared to dry himself first and then sleep again. make plans.
