Those years of engaging with the system for animal insurance

"Brother, if someone finds us doing this, will we be arrested?"

In the river, a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing long rubber boots and carrying a basket on his back, said anxiously.

Standing beside him was an adult man, slightly shorter in stature, with a plastic box on his back, a bamboo pole in each of his left and right hands, a net pocket on the left, and wire and wires on the right.Both of them had lamps tied to their heads.

Zhang Lijun glanced at his timid younger brother, and said in a low voice:

"I told you not to make a sound. You will scare away the fish and stone frogs later. Also, when you finish fishing and go back to the peacock's nest, you go to dig out the peacock eggs. Remember, don't make too much noise. It’s not bad to catch a small peacock.”

"But what we are doing now is illegal." The boy said.

Zhang Lijun glared at his younger brother angrily:

"Aren't I doing this for you now? I have paid for your tuition and living expenses all these years, and I have also paid for your mother's medical expenses. What if you don't make money? How do you live? Drinking northwest wind? Besides, you are born to raise Which flat-haired animal can't be caught?

You don't know how much the wild fish and stone frogs are worth in the hotel outside, not to mention that the foreigner is willing to pay a lot of money for us to get a peacock.With money, your tuition fees and living expenses are covered. "

"But...but it's illegal after all."

"Huh!" Zhang Lijun snorted coldly, and said, "Zhang Liming, if you don't tell me, I won't tell you, who knows that we broke the law! Anyway, after the downstream hydropower station is built, this will be a lake in the future. What's the use of keeping animals. "

It seemed that the young man was still hesitating, so the elder brother threatened and said: "You really want to go, go back by yourself now, but I can't guarantee that something strange will come out of this pitch-black forest." The beast took you away."

Scared by this, the boy didn't dare to go back alone, so he had to follow step by step.

Li Cixin who was sleeping was awakened by the light,

Eh?Is it dawn so soon?

He looked out through the covered haystack, and instantly woke up. It turned out to be two grown men.

Look at this posture, is this electric fish?He actually went to the primeval forest to call the fish, he was really not afraid of death.

But soon, the two of them walked to the section of the river closest to Li Cixin, only seven or eight meters away from his hiding place. One of them shouted haha, and fished out a big white belly from the water. frogs.

With the help of the light, Li Cixin discovered that it was a stone frog. If the electricity goes on like this, it is estimated that all the fish and amphibians in this small tributary will be wiped out.

Some people on the Internet concluded that the three most annoying fishing methods are poisoning, electricity, and extinction.These three are not only highly efficient, but most importantly, the damage to species and the environment caused is quite terrifying.

The ecology of small streams is inherently fragile. If this continues, it will take an unknown amount of time to recover, and it may even directly lead to the extinction of species.Because many endemic species may survive in a small stream, the blow to biodiversity can be called a catastrophe.

This place belongs to the upper reaches of the Phoenix River. It is an undeveloped virgin forest and is full of dangers. Dare to come here for electric fish in the middle of the night. It is really crazy about money.

But now I can't expose myself, when the two continue to walk upstream, Li Cixin crawls out of the cave, stands on the sand and looks at the backs of the two, thinking that he should scare them away.

After flapping its wings twice, the huge six-meter-long peacock flew up to the river bank and plunged into the woods.

Before the two of them walked far away, Li Cixin stood in the dark and watched condescendingly, thinking of a plan.The huge claws kicked the stone at his feet hard, and the small stone rushed towards the electric fishing rod in the man's hand like a missile.

There was a bang, but unfortunately it didn't hit.The two people in the river turned their heads to Li Cixin's side, and at the same time brought the lights over their heads.

Li Cixin hid quickly, and retreated into the dense vegetation all at once.Only a pile of inexplicably shaking leaves were left for the two of them.

Zhang Liming took two steps back, nearly slipped and fell, leaned over to his brother and asked:

"Brother... what is that?"

The elder brother Zhang Lijun was also frightened, swallowed his saliva, took out the hatchet from his waist, and shouted at the direction where Li Cixin was hiding:

"Who? Who? Don't scare me, come out quickly."

Seeing that nothing happened, the two of them focused their attention on this place, even ignoring the danger in other directions.

At this moment, Li Cixin, who had already changed places, noticed a figure appeared on the river bank behind the two of them, stepping down quietly on the rocks.

Taking a closer look with the help of the moonlight, Li Cixin was terrified. It was an Asian black bear that was quietly approaching them on the opposite bank.

The white spots on the crescent on the chest are clearly visible in the moonlight.

Because the attention of the two people was completely attracted by Li Cixin before, they didn't even realize that there was a deadly animal approaching quietly behind them.

Asiatic black bears especially like to hide and sleep during the day, avoiding the extreme heat, and come out to look for food at night.

As the strongest terrestrial carnivora, the bear family has almost no vision and relies more on smell and hearing to prey.So for the Xiongke family, there is no difference between day and night.Generally, how comfortable the climate is and how to hunt for food.

Asiatic black bears are the middle-lower size of the bear family, generally weighing two to three hundred catties.They are usually timid, and run away when they hear human voices from a distance. Just now, the two people made such a big noise, and this black bear actually came this way.It is estimated that today is not good.

Although it is said that Asian black bears are timid, timid animals in nature are often the most prone to nervousness, as if they want to harm it when they see anyone, which is commonly known as persecution paranoia, but it is very easy to attack.For example, in the vicinity of the Himalayas in the northern part of Tianzhu, there were 91 incidents of black bears attacking people between 92 and [-].

Li Cixin was worried that the two men would not be able to run away in time, and if they were attacked by a bear in the deep mountains and old forests, they probably would have no way out.

He repeated the trick, kicking a rock behind them, alerting both of them.

The eyes of the two people turned back following the stone, and the strong light made the black bear stay in place, and the two men's legs were already weak at this time.I usually watch bears on TV, but now I see a real, 300-jin beast about ten meters away from me.That kind of fear is really indescribable.

Zhang Lijun just wanted to run away, but his brother grabbed his arm tightly.

"What are you doing?!" Zhang Lijun scolded in a low voice.

"Brother... Brother, don't run. I read in the book that you must not run when you encounter a bear. Humans can't run away from a bear... The two of us still have weapons, so don't move. Staring at it, you can't lose your momentum .”

My younger brother was inexplicably calm when he said this, but Zhang Lijun knew that his frail younger brother was also pretending to be calm, and his hands on his arms were shaking.But...he's a college student, listen to him!

The two of them stared at each other for more than ten seconds, and the air seemed to thicken.

At this time, the black bear moved, and Zhang Lijun whispered:

"Brother, if this blind man bites someone later, I will block him, and you must run out."

"Brother, it's best if we can go out together... If not, whoever the bear bites, the other one will run away, desperately."

The black bear stopped in the river five meters away from the two of them, perhaps wondering why the other party didn't run away, or perhaps afraid of the two adults.Xiong has been quietly observing the two.

Seeing that the black bear was sniffing something, Zhang Liming had an idea, grabbed a stunned stone frog from the back basket and threw it at the black bear.The black bear didn't bite, and the stone frog floated away along the current. The black bear caught it back with one paw, put it in his mouth and ate it, eating it in two or three bites.

Seeing the Asian black bear's unrestrained expression, Zhang Liming grabbed several stone frogs and threw them over.

Zhang Lijun, who witnessed the whole process, wanted to cry but had no tears. The things he worked so hard to grab were all his wedding dresses.

Gradually, the back basket also bottomed out, so I had to hand over the bucket containing the fish. After a few minutes, the fish was eaten up, and the black bear still didn't seem to want to leave.

Under the long-term mental tension, Zhang Lijun couldn't take it anymore, he suddenly picked up the hatchet in his hand and slashed at the black bear.Now the black bear was completely angry.

It was the same as usual, sleeping during the day to avoid the tropical sun, and coming to the river at night to try its luck and find something to eat.It turned out that two strange animals were found.Black bears have grown up in the jungle since childhood, and have never seen such a strange animal.

Curiosity drove it down to have a look, and it ended up having another delicious meal. After eating and drinking enough, it planned to go back to sleep and fatten up.Suddenly he was injured by the long "claw" of this strange thing, which made the bear very angry.

Seeing that the bear was about to attack people, Li Cixin, who stood in the forest on the other side and watched for a while, moved.

If it is not stopped, these two people will have to be torn apart.Even if one person gets out alive, there is a high probability that this murderous bear will be shot dead by the relevant departments.

Several stones quickly hit the bear.Slowed down its attack action.The speed of the two grown men was not bad either, they ran to the shallow end and ran downstream of when they came running.

Just as the bear wanted to continue chasing, several stones fell on it again, causing severe pain.The bear went completely mad, and kept roaring towards the opposite bank, not even chasing the two of them.

Li Cixin did not show up, and kept hiding in the dark kicking stones.The black bear was not stupid either, and began to trot here, trying to climb up the river bank to the woods.

Seeing that the black bear was about to climb up, Li Cixin thought about it, it is better not to conflict with it, even though he has been genetically modified, it is not good to hurt the bear.

Thinking of this, Li Cixin rushed out of the woods, flapped his wings, and flew from here to the other side in a few seconds.

The black bear was dumbfounded. Panting heavily, it worked hard to climb up to the top, but the opponent flew to the opposite bank in one fell swoop.

In desperation, the black bear started running back and forth.As a result, after two round trips, I collapsed on the bank of the river.After resting for a while, he left dejectedly.

Li Cixin looked at the black bear who left with a disheveled face, picked up the hair and blood that the black bear had dropped, and let the system collect the genes.Find the cave again and start to rest.

What he didn't know was that the two people who had just run away wondered why the black bear didn't chase after them, so they turned around and saw a giant bird teasing the black bear back and forth.

Under the moonlight, the bird's feathers reflected a metallic luster, and its figure was clearly a peacock.But it was too big, much bigger than the peacocks they had seen.

For a moment, I thought of the sudden appearance of stones, and the stories passed down by the old people I heard from childhood.Zhang Lijun said:

"Brother...brother, we...couldn't have encountered the phoenix god just now, right?"

Zhang Liming was running out of breath, so he didn't think much about it. There are a lot of weird animals in nature. If he can take this opportunity to stop his brother from entering the mountain, it's okay to say that it's all right, so he braced his back and panted. Said gruffly.

"Maybe... Maybe... It's really a phoenix manifestation. You'd better not come here in the future, lest you lose your life. Let's go back quickly, what should we do when something comes out later. Let's go!"

"Okay, okay. Let's go."

That night, Li Cixin slept soundly. In the morning, facing the rising sun, he shook his beautiful feathers, found some crabs and small fish by the river, and after eating and drinking enough, he started to move downstream.
