Xie Hui returned to their den with his things on his back. Because the things were too heavy, the time was a bit late. It was completely dark not long after he went back.
There were only a few sporadic bits of fire that had been saved before. Xie Hui just put down the things and hurriedly got some hay to ignite.
Although it is true that the claws are not very flexible, after such a long time, Xie Hui has gradually adapted.
The cub, who was full, helped in the cave, threw all the fallen leaves and weeds that had blown in into the fire, and turned around to pick up food.
Xie Hui set up the fire, saw the little boy struggling to eat dry food, sitting there leaning against the wall, couldn't help but sighed helplessly.
If he was willing to stay at the county magistrate's house, he didn't know how comfortable his life would be, and he couldn't imagine staying in the bamboo forest with him, eating such hard dry food.
In order to ensure a longer storage time, dry food is generally very hard, and the taste is average. For a cub as big as this one, it took half a day to chew off a little bit of a pancake.
After running so far with such a heavy load on his back, Xie Hui didn't want to move anymore, so he closed his eyes and planned to rest.
After squinting for a while, I felt a little uneasy again. After opening my eyes, I didn't see the cub in the cave.
The moment he was frightened, he woke up. When he was running outside, he happened to see this cub coming in dragging a big bamboo shoot.
In fact, Xie Hui doesn't like to eat bamboo shoots in this season anymore. Due to the special climate, the bamboo shoots in this season are not only difficult to swallow, but also have a strong astringent taste.
When the cub walked in front of him, Xie Hui looked at the sweat on his forehead, his cheeks that were strained because he dragged the bamboo shoot too hard, took the bamboo shoot and followed behind him.
After arriving in the cave, Zai also came over to help peel off the outer layer of bamboo shoots, and then pushed Xiehui in front of him.
"Aww~"
It was rare for Xie Hui not to scold the cub for learning how to speak to him, nor did he dislike the unpalatable bamboo shoots of this season, so he picked them up and took a bite.
When Xie Hui finally started to eat, the cub sat down at his usual position and continued to eat the pancake that was bigger than his face.
Although the cub lived in the bamboo forest, the quality of life for him and Xie Huihui was not as good as when he was sent away.
But if the current Xie Hui were to send him away, he would be more or less reluctant.
It's very strange, obviously Xie Hui spent much more time thinking about this cub.
And what this cub gave him was just a bamboo shoot, which was a bit shabby when compared together.
But it was indeed just such a bamboo shoot, and Xie Hui was so moved that he even felt that this cub was troublesome, since he was happy to raise it anyway.
I don't know anything, I just feel that this giant panda doesn't eat very well when I eat something, so I ran out in the dark to break off a bamboo shoot for him, and sat there gnawing pancakes, which were very delicious.
At night, Xie Hui stored the fire before going to sleep, and stretched out his hand to hold him in his arms.
The weather is relatively cold now, and being hugged by a big panda at night, the thick fur is more comfortable than being covered with a quilt.
The cub has only one head exposed, and satisfaction is written all over his face.
With the things brought back from that place, the quality of life has obviously improved a lot.
Especially for Xie Huihui, he no longer has to go around looking for food for his cub every day.
Last time he didn't find it in his own bamboo forest, so he went to the panda bamboo forest next door to have a look. When the two pandas got together to fight, he almost failed to win.
Autumn passed quickly, and when it started to snow, Xie Hui couldn't help being lazy and just wanted to stay in this cave without moving.
On the contrary, the energetic cub went out to dig bamboo shoots very hard every day when he just woke up.
At this time, it is very difficult to find bamboo shoots that can be broken off. Every day, the cubs have to work hard to clear the snow, and then carefully look for the ones hidden in the soil.
At first, Xie Hui was a little worried that he would catch a cold, so he was not allowed to go outside.
Xie Hui reluctantly accepted the fact that the cub's physique was really different after he went out to play a few times with his back on his back and his hands were still warm when he came back.
Although it was winter, he didn't wear much clothes, but he was not afraid of the cold at all.
Occasionally, when I was particularly energetic, I even had to dig Laoduo, send it back, and then bring Xie Hui back to pick up the bamboo shoots.
Xie Hui Suansuan felt that this cub was already able to start worrying about his daily life before he was two years old.
If it weren't for this cub, he would rather eat less in the winter.
This cub digs bamboo shoots very diligently, and the two of them have piled up a lot in their nest.
With a language barrier, Xie Hui has nothing to teach him.
There is no way to earn money to send him to school, Xie Hui stays in the den in snowy weather and doesn't want to go anywhere, and feels a little guilty when he thinks wildly.
The cub who came back with several bamboo shoots was followed by a very strange panda.
Xie Hui, who was lying there lazily, suddenly stood up when he saw this scene.
After seeing Xie Hui, the following panda obviously wanted to leave.
After winter came, Xie Hui was not the only panda who couldn't eat bamboo shoots, but the other pandas were not particularly smart, and they were not good at digging, so they could only live on bamboo.
If it is said that all pandas eat bamboo, then it doesn't make any sense, at most it is a secret comparison, whose bamboo is better.
But now, when others can only eat bamboo bitterly, there is a panda who can eat very delicious bamboo shoots.
Take the bamboo shoots! Even the panda next door was greedy to cry!
Pandas have a special way of communication, and Xie Hui realized that he wanted the bamboo shoots his cubs dug.
At this moment, Xie Hui even subtly felt why the cubs he raised before had a better temper in other things, but they would become stingy when they had anything to do with the things he gave them.
He couldn't help being like this now, thinking of his cub's hard work going out to dig bamboo shoots for him, he was unwilling to give it to other pandas.
Even according to Xie Hui's long-term observation, this cub is so keen on digging bamboo shoots not only to make himself full, but also for fun.
"Roar?"
Just as he was about to drive him away, Xie Hui heard him say that he could exchange things at this moment, so he couldn't help but wonder what he could exchange for himself.
The next day, the panda I met yesterday came over with a bee nest.
Honey? Xie Hui had already started to feel a little moved when he saw this thing.
He himself doesn't think this is delicious, but he thinks his cub can try it.
Living with him in this bamboo grove was pretty miserable, and I had to go out to dig bamboo shoots in the winter, so it would be nice to have honey to eat.
Although this cub dug the bamboo shoots back for him, Xie Hui still wanted to ask his opinion.
He pointed to the honeycomb that the panda was holding, and then pointed to the bamboo shoots in the corner that he couldn't finish eating.
When other pandas were very worried and could only eat bamboo, Xie Hui was already worried about whether it would be a waste if he couldn't finish it.
After all... his cubs have to dig in the morning and in the afternoon, and if they can't sleep at night, they want to dig a little too.
This cub's night vision ability seems to be stronger than many people's, and when he goes for a stroll at night, he can come back with a few bamboo shoots in his arms.
Before Xie Hui, even when he was dreaming, he always dreamed of those bamboo shoots that he couldn't eat.
The cub is very smart, Xie Hui just pointed twice, and he understood Xie Hui's intention to exchange honey, and took out the things they piled in the corner.
For Xie Huihui, they were tired of eating winter bamboo shoots, but for other pandas who could only occasionally dig bamboo shoots, they were very rare treasures.
Zai walked in carrying the thing and handed it to the giant panda.
Xie Hui wiped his paws on the snow, and the place closest to their nest was already frozen.
If he wanted to wash his paws and needed to go farther, he only used snowflakes to make do with it.
He dipped a bit of honey on his paw and handed it to the cub, who tentatively leaned over to taste it.
"Oh?"
Xie Hui heard the joy in his voice, and handed it all to him.
When the conditions are not very permissible, Xie Hui has very low requirements for his own life, as long as he can barely guarantee his survival.
Only then did the cub realize that what the giant panda wanted to exchange was for him. While eating honey, he rubbed his head vigorously to thank him, which was his special way of expressing his joy.
While the cubs were eating, Xie turned around to look at the remaining winter bamboo shoots piled up in the cave, and nodded his head very satisfied.
His cubs are really capable, and they dug a lot at such a young age.
Regarding the previous ones, Xie Hui felt that it would take about seven full days to finish eating when the cub was resting these days.
What is left now, he should only need five days at most to eat it all.
Xie Hui walked over and counted carefully, then thought about his usual appetite, and confirmed his guess again.
That's right, it's definitely possible.
It's not too early now, Xie Hui waited for him to finish eating, let him wash his hands on the snow, and then held the cub in his arms.
The quilt is not very practical for this cub who sleeps very badly, and it is not as good as a giant panda blanket.
Because he didn't have to worry about when the stored bamboo shoots would be finished, Xie Hui slept very easily at night, and even rarely coaxed the already grown cubs to sleep.
Xie Hui was too lazy to go out when the weather was cold, and after the cub got used to the bamboo forest, he didn't have to worry about whether he would be in danger, so Xie Hui didn't restrain him.
It is natural to love freedom, not to mention this energetic age, the bamboo forest is very safe in winter, and there are not too many animals.
When Xie Hui woke up that day, he was not surprised that the cub was not in the cave.
After a while, there were footsteps, and Xie Hui just watched helplessly as the cub dragged back more bamboo shoots than yesterday in a cloth bag.
He held his head high and looked very proud.
