Those years of engaging with the system for animal insurance

After listening to Li Cixin at the base of the wall all night, except for the unbroadcast content about goblin fights, it really let him know some news.

It turned out that the government called on people living in the mountains to move out in order to facilitate population management.It just happened to encounter a tiger problem again, so the leader made a decision to relocate as soon as possible.

After these mountain people go out, they live in the ancestral hall first, and they can move in after the houses are built.As for the land in the mountains, the soil is poor anyway, and the harvest is not good.It is estimated that it will not be cultivated frequently in the future, and there is a high probability that it will be abandoned.

In the paddy fields outside, it is said that the country has issued some improved seeds and fertilizers, which can produce more crops than in previous years.

In this way, Li Cixin watched the mountain people move away within a month, and wondered how old man Yang was and whether anyone believed him.

After the last family of mountain people moved out of the forest, Li Cixin came to the entrance of the mountain.Taking advantage of the darkness, he spent some time hollowing out the bottom of the boulder on the cliff.

With a sudden push, a huge stone blocked the way into the mountain like a knife.Tons of gravel and sand poured down, blocking the gaps in the creek.

In the dusty sky, a small pond came into being.This road is completely blocked.

The loud sound caused many people in the village to light up their oil lamps, but it was too late, and no one dared to come out to check.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone discovered that it was a huge boulder that had fallen and blocked the way into the mountain.

I also thought of the existence of tiger spirits that Father Yang and some members of the Tiger Fighting Team had said. The poorly educated and superstitious villagers also tacitly stopped mentioning the matter of going into the mountains. Let's order some firewood.No longer go to the inner circle.

After the road was closed, Li Cixin felt that this was a good way, so he walked one by one along the hillside where he could observe the villages, and found that the forest he was in was actually very wide.

In order to preserve this habitat, I am also worried that the villagers around the forest will rebel because they cannot get firewood.

Li Cixin then considered the distance when closing the mountain, no longer approaching the mountain pass, but pushed a few miles inside.This not only ensures the habitat of the South China tiger, but also ensures that the villagers have enough space to collect firewood.

A few months later, Li Cixin finally surrounded the entire mountain forest by using wood and stones as roadblocks.During the period, he encountered dissatisfied villagers, and he also taught him a lesson in stealth.

Besides, he marked the place where he closed the mountain to prevent South China tigers from going out and hurting people and domestic animals.

After this set of procedures and methods, Li Cixin seemed to see the hope of completing the task, and he was immersed in mediating the conflict between people and tigers.

For this reason, he left here, found several mountains and forests to do the same thing, and even estimated that they were out of the province.

But a few years later, when he came back, he found that a new challenge had come again.

Although these places are surrounded, the scope is still not enough, especially the number of South China tigers is growing slowly, and the food is getting less and less because of this.

There is not enough meat to eat, plus the male tiger's privacy and territorial awareness.The living space between tigers is constantly being compressed, and the aggressiveness among tigers is becoming stronger and stronger.

The newly grown male tigers are driven to the outer ring by the male tigers occupying a large territory, and to the center of the forest where the prey is the least.Some young male tigers even flocked together.

Many people think that tigers do not flock together. In fact, many historical records in China show that tigers flock together.

In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, there were frequent wars, especially in the population of Shu, because the war slaughtered not one out of ten.

At that time, there were quite a few records in the county chronicles that tigers entered the city in groups to eat people.

There is a saying that the reason why lions live in groups is because the prey is large and abundant.The tiger is forced to live alone because of insufficient food.

As the saying goes, extremes lead to opposites, and solitary animal clusters will appear when food is extremely scarce. Today, young male tigers can only survive in groups.

The behavior of living things cannot be viewed with simple stereotypes.

Young male tigers, like ghosts, quietly climbed over the roadblocks made by Li Cixin, or climbed over mountains, and went to villages to steal poultry and livestock.The hurtful thing reappeared after a few years.

Because there is not enough food, the territory is compressed.The female tiger's willingness to reproduce also began to decline, and she became very aggressive, never letting the male tiger get close.Some tigresses even eat their own cubs.

You must know that in the wild, it is not uncommon for wild beasts to eat their own cubs, but in general, the cubs are dead and weak, or the mother beast is extremely hungry.

As a result, Li Cixin discovered that a tigress actually ate her healthy cubs, and there was not one left.It is agreed that the tiger's poison does not eat its children.

Is it wrong to enclose them here?

With a flash of inspiration, Li Cixin went to observe the young male tigers on the outskirts and in the center of the mountain, and found that they were no longer interested in female tigers.

Li Cixin thought, isn't this similar to the "Universe 25" experiment?The most obvious difference is that there is no unlimited food supply, but the similarity is the issue of living space.

That experiment used mice, and here I am a South China tiger.

It seems that space plays an extremely important role in the survival of species.

However, when he thought of the failure of the 25 mouse social experiments, his heart thumped.

If this continues, if the results are the same as those experiments with mice, and the South China tigers are all dead, then my task...

No, I have to think of a compromise.

After thinking about it, he could only expand the habitat. Li Ci planned to connect the two nearby forests.Anyway, the number of tigers next to it is much less than here, so it should be better to simply expand the living space.

But often misfortunes never come singly, and blessings never come together.

It is difficult to reconcile the contradiction between the tiger's mouth problem and the living space on his side.Something went wrong in human society too.

The famous "□□" in history came.It is said that it is a natural disaster, but it is caused by a combination of natural disasters and man-made disasters.

On the one hand, the development of industry at the expense of agriculture has actually led to a reduction in food production.On the one hand, the exaggerated release of satellites caused the grassroots cadres to exaggerate the data, harvested too much grain, and farmers did not have grain in their hands.

The external environment is to repay Xiong Guo's debts and pay off the debts with grain.

After this natural disaster, grain production in many places decreased or even failed, and the government did not have enough grain reserves.All of a sudden, the people will suffer.

Here is still a mountainous area in the south, where the rain is not too bad, and the common people can still rely on wild vegetables and fish to satisfy their hunger, but it is miserable in the north and the Central Plains.

When Li Cixin went out, he saw this scene:

A Jiefang small truck collecting taxes and food was blocked on a dirt road by angry mountain villagers. The truck was burned, and three public officials were almost killed.

Driven by the food shortage, people in the surrounding villages that Li Cixin saw along the way took action one after another to resist paying taxes and food.In many villages, the only road leading to the outside of China Unicom has been dug and stones have been piled up.

The law does not blame the public, everyone can't eat enough, and they can't control so much.

In this way, the poultry and livestock in the village became precious things.Tigers go down the mountain to catch them, which is equivalent to stealing food from the population.

Look at the nearby hillsides that have been plucked all over, not to mention wild vegetables, many edible leaves have been picked off.

It is estimated that there are many people who go to the river to catch fish. At this time, due to the scarcity of oil and spices, the common people basically do not eat fish on weekdays, because cooking is difficult.

But when it really comes to this point, the hungry people won't care so much.

Some people once asked on related platforms: Why didn't the common people catch fish to eat during the famine?

There is a heartless answer: because there is no seasoning, the fish smells, and the common people can't cook it well, so they don't eat fish.

But in fact, these answers are all self-assessment. Whether it is China or other countries and regions, there are only a few reasons for the famine: drought, flood, locust plague, war...

The most common are drought and flood disasters.Drought brought about thousands of miles of barren land, not to mention fish, even drinking water is a problem; floods brought about a vast ocean, it is estimated that even the fire cannot be lit, and it is extremely difficult to survive and fish in rough waves.

Often after a disaster, the plague that breaks out due to the piles of rotting corpses will also become a death talisman.

If there is still fish to eat like this, then thank God, it doesn't matter whether it tastes good or not.Hungry, eating tree bark, eating Avalokitesvara soil, and even eating human flesh later, are the norms of famine in history.

Human flesh is also called "rice meat" in some places. Some of the elderly who have experienced the disaster in the past three years have tried it in order to survive.

Li Cixin once looked through an extra-curricular book, which described how hundreds of years ago during the Wanli period, a Juren surnamed Chen from Qilu land passed through the disaster area and reported his tragic situation to the emperor.There is a passage that impressed him deeply:

"...Walking for another half a day, I saw an old woman holding a dead child, cooking and crying." The questioner said: "If you want to eat it, why cry?" Full of ears.'”

At this time, the mountain village has not yet reached that point, but panic has spread.

If we go any further, we will probably have to go deep into the mountains to look for food.

After traveling to many places, the situation I saw was still bleak and unbearable.Regarding this, Li Cixin can't change anything at all. He can only pray that this area is less affected by the disaster.

Taking advantage of this time, he spent two months opening a channel between two similar forests and connecting them.

It is said to be a passage, but it is actually blocking a section of the mountain road that is usually not used by many people, and cutting out a connection in the horizontal direction, hoping that the two tigers can visit each other and don't stay in place all the time.It also promotes gene exchange.

The marks he left a long time ago were not done again, and some were made at the places leading to the village, so that they could leave the fixed circle.

In fact, the measures to seal off the mountains can prevent people, but not tigers. This can only be done with the best possible effort.

Fortunately, the weather is beautiful, and it has rained several times in succession in the past few months. The wild vegetables and food have also grown. In addition, there is no need to pay public food, and the people in this place can be considered to have a way of life.

In the next few years, Li Cixin traveled to many places and saw the impact of natural disasters on people and animals.

All he can do is to reconcile the contradiction between human and tiger, after all, he is not a god after all.

After the mountains and forests sealed off by him were connected together, no one entered them for a long time.The reproduction of tigers is barely normal, and the number has been hovering above the endangered line.

In this way, Li Cixin lived until the 80s. Seeing that the protection of South China tigers was getting more and more attention, and even set up a nature reserve in the place he once enclosed, Li Cixin closed his eyes peacefully.

"Drip! The S-level mission is completed..."

Opening his eyes again, what he saw was Wang Xinggang's chubby face:

"Xiao Ci, are you awake? It's time to get on the plane."
