I'm just a lumberjack

Zhou Ruiqiang and his son just settled down in the mountains. He plans to spend a winter here to recuperate his body and mind after being tired in the city for a year, and improve his child's physical fitness. The holes are still pretty good.

Moreover, the two stinky bears have changed from their previous hateful appearance, and are courteous to him in every possible way. Although the weather is getting colder day by day, the father and son nestle into the bear's warm embrace when they are hungry and thirsty. Pure natural green food, healthy and hygienic.Day by day, the days are relaxed and comfortable.

It would be great if this life could last until the beginning of spring, if nothing like that happened that morning.

The moist wind blew into the quiet tree hole, and Zhou Ruiqiang felt his face was itchy from the burrs, and he didn't realize that he was living with two bears until he opened his eyes.

Because there was no bed, Zhou Ruiqiang felt sore all over his body as soon as he woke up, probably because he was lying on the hay yesterday and slept between two bears.And his own son was also held in the arms of another flaxen bear, and fell asleep on his stomach.

If you sleep like this, you will catch a cold.He frowned, and was about to get up to pull his son's clothes, but he didn't know that his big movement woke up the sleeping bear.

"Hi, morning..." Before he finished speaking, he was thrown from the soft dry grass to the ground in an instant, and his head hit the dry, cold and hard ground. Before he could breathe out in pain, he saw The bear squinted, eyes full of beastly viciousness, panting heavily, pressing itself with one paw, and raising the other bear paw above, as if it was about to hit it down in the next second.

"Wake me up!!" Before he could figure out the situation, he hurriedly hugged his head and shouted, he didn't want his son to see his father's head being blown away by a bear.

The bear's movements paused for a moment, and he quickly took the opportunity to get out, while Xiong Er and his son woke up because of his scream just now, and were a little at a loss when they saw such a scene.

"Xiong Da! Be sober! It's not them!" Xiong Er came back to his senses, shouted and rushed forward to restrain his elder brother, yelling in its ear, and soon the excited bear calmed down, sitting on the ground motionless .

The man held his son in his arms, his heart was beating very fast because of what happened just now, he simply pulled his confused son and walked outside, the warm sunshine in winter, the branches covered with frost, and the rare ethereal and clear sky.It was supposed to be a relaxing morning, but it became heavy because of this sudden and strange thing.

The man took his son for a few laps in the woods. The cold wind made his head clearer. After much deliberation, he decided to go back and ask Brother Xiong what was going on.

Back in the tree hole, the man saw that Xiong Da was lying on the dry grass with his back facing him, very quiet, while Xiong Er was sitting on the tree stump outside in a daze, biting a cracked branch in his mouth, his eyes full of sorrow.

"How come even you, a bear, can show such a human expression?" Zhou Ruiqiang walked over with a smile, and his son, who was shivering from the cold, rushed over and threw himself into Xiong Er's arms to warm him up, "Tell me about it." , what happened to your brother?"

"My brother...has always been very guilty." The flaxen bear said, as if he had made up his mind, "After you left, the animals in the forest teamed up to demolish your house. My brother he At that time, there were some conflicts with them, and they have not been mediated, and the distance between us and them has been getting bigger and bigger, until now..."

"Didn't you always fight with me before? Logically, you should be heroes. Why did you end up in such a situation today?" the man interjected.

"Here, it doesn't matter whether there is credit or not. Everyone is here to survive. If you leave, we will become their number one enemy. The little mistake my brother made is just a fuse."

"That's right, look at your figure, let's continue."

"Later, after my brother saw you once, it was probably when we brought our son back. When you left, a small animal probably saw it. After that, we all had... It was very difficult. Our winter food It also took a long time to collect, and our daily life has also been affected. There are always animals playing tricks and saying ugly things. I think my brother doesn’t speak every time he is bullied. It's like this." Xiong Er's tone was full of helplessness.

That's right, according to what it said, it can't be difficult to explain what happened this morning. It must be that the stinky bear was forced to twist his mind and mistook himself for the enemy before he wanted to attack.This kind of thing happens a lot in human society.

"It often tells me not to tell you, but it is my brother after all, and I feel uncomfortable seeing it like this." After speaking, it turned to look at the bear lying in the tree hole, "I only have one brother , it has been taking care of me since I was a child, and I really want to do something for it.”

"So, it's traumatized now, right?" The man felt a little blocked after hearing what Xiong Er said just now, but he still asked pretending to be relaxed.

"Ah, probably."

"We have to help it recover. I will go down the mountain to buy some things tomorrow, and you have to take good care of it during the period. This is when you can protect your brother." Zhou Ruiqiang said to Xiong Er, who saw the bear nodded in a daze.

Since it happened because of me, let me end it.Zhou Ruiqiang thought so.

Whether it's the house or revenge, for the two simple-minded bears, protecting the family is the most important thing. When he saw the light of worship in his brother's eyes when he talked about his brother, he had experienced a lot. The heart that has become indifferent due to too much seems to have set off a wave of waves again, like a ray of starlight shining in the darkness, and the thin fingertips seem to want to hold something tightly again.

After losing so much, he can still ignite his blood.He smiled wryly.

Xiong Da seemed to have really become silent, eating and doing work as usual, but talking less and less.Winter is the season of dormancy, after all, the man and Xiong Er will go out for a walk, basking in the sun or something.But Xiong Da stayed in the tree hole all the time, did nothing, just sat on the ground, staring at the place where the man threw down and wanted to kill him.Those eyes were so empty that Zhou Ruiqiang couldn't help but look at them.

After he went down the mountain that day, he actually went to a few veterinarians to understand animal depression. After the doctor kindly asked him what his pet was, he finally left the pet hospital and went to the mall to buy some necessary daily necessities. I went back to the mountain with my big and small bags.

Back on the mountain, it was already dark, and I saw that Xiong Da was still sleeping, but Xiong Er and his son were not there.You should take him out to play.He thought, put things away, walked over to the huge dark brown mass, sat down, and gently stroked its back.

Feeling the stiffness of the animal under his hands, he sighed, and continued to stroke its fur: "I know you became like this to protect your family, since my house was destroyed, I also want to reason with them, you Just live with your brother. Since this place can’t go on, then change another place. This forest is so big, there will be no place for you to live in, right? I don’t know how to treat animal depression, but I will think There is a way to help you recover, since I caused it, I will be responsible."

The bear didn't respond, but his eyes were already opened, and the eyes were still cloudy as before, completely without the agility of the past.

"I'm going out to look for your brother and son. It's getting late, let's get ready to eat." He stood up and patted the bear on the head.

The bear also stood up and went to the back to get the food.

Zhou Ruiqiang wandered around the forest in a daze, but he still couldn't find Xiong Er and his son. He kicked the pebbles irritably. Could it be that he was discovered by other animals and beat him up?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, until he was startled by Xiong Er's call, and saw Xiong Er holding his son in the distance, and his heart was relieved.

"What's the matter? Why is it so wet?" He ran over and found that the bear was dripping water all over his body, and his son was also covered in water, and his clothes were soaked and stuck to his body.

"I just took him out to play, to the side of that small river, there is a layer of fresh ice on it, I didn't pay attention to him, so he stepped on it..." Xiong Er also had a guilty expression on his face.

Zhou Ruiqiang said a few words to Xiong Er, and quickly asked him to pick up his son and run back to the tree hole. It would be very troublesome if the body gets wet in this weather, especially in the mountains and forests. If you have a fever, you can't find a doctor for a while.

Back in the tree hole, Zhou Ruiqiang ordered Xiong Er to change his son's clothes, and he built a fire in front of the tree hole. At first, he was a little scared to light the fire, but now he should get used to it.

Flames burst out in front of the tree hole, the man sat in front of the fire with his son in his arms, Xiong Er gnawed on the fruit, and called Xiong Daye to come.

The bear sat far away, still staying in its clump of dry grass, with a dancing fire flashing in its eyes, full of fear.

Forget it, don't come if you don't come.Zhou Ruiqiang didn't force it, and continued to lower his head to help his son rub his hands.

The bright firelight was particularly eye-catching in the dark, and Xiong Er was a little drowsy after filling his stomach, and then went back to sleep in the tree hole.The man hugged his son, looking at the smoldering flames, his expression was a little dazed.

When he noticed Xiong Da coming, he raised his head to look at it, and saw it staring at the son in his arms without saying a word, its eyes full of inexplicable emotion.

"Do you want to hug him?" Zhou Ruiqiang decided to take a gamble. He stroked his son's black hair, revealing his pair of bear ears. Seeing that Xiong Da trembled, he reached out hesitantly.

The son threw himself into Xiong Da's arms happily, rubbing his small face against the soft hair on his chest.The bear froze, its trembling palms gently covering the child's shoulders, as if to push him away.

The man hurriedly reached up to stroke the bear's palm, once and for all, and finally waited for it to calm down, then said: "Don't be afraid, he is your...family."

After hearing this word, Gouxiong trembled, and its two bear paws changed to embrace the child's back, gradually tightening, and its head hung down on the child's neck, as if it wanted to rub him into its arms.
