Chapter 18: They both clean each other
In early July, when there are no clouds, the temperature rises, hatching eggs of all kinds of insects and increasing the number of mosquitoes on the shore, making them the most annoying thing for the polar bears besides hunger and heat.
Sea breeze dried whale meat will not grow eggs in a short period of time, but it will attract all kinds of mosquitoes and harassment.
Qiao Qixi did not want to share the food with the flies, so he finished the dried meat as soon as possible, leaving only a small bucket to eat on the road.
The flowers and plants along the shore, which have grown arm's length high, are frequented by various land critters, such as groundhogs, gray rabbits, wild ducks that lay their eggs at the water's edge, and so on.
Strictly speaking, these can also be food for polar bears, but they escape very fast, and it is impossible for polar bears to chase these small animals on land.
And in summer, polar bears are almost at a standstill, so they even walk very slowly.
The mosquitoes flying around the sky will follow the bite of the polar bears with a strong body odour, making them irritable and painful, and from time to time they let out a grumpy low roar, flinging their heads, etc., trying to chase away the little things that bite them.
Fortunately, Qiao Qixi and Odis are relatively clean, and lick each other several times a day, which will make their body odour very light, can largely avoid annoying flies and bugs.
Qiao Qixi could see that Odis disliked being disturbed by flies, especially when he was woken up by flies while sleeping, his body pressure would be very low.
To solve this problem, Qiao Qixi would pay close attention to the surrounding grass when walking, hoping to find plants with mosquito repellent effects.
Humulus, mint, mosquito repellent grass or whatever can be.
The Humulus can be found everywhere in the wild in the south, like a weed growing everywhere, and it is quite difficult to find on the coast of Greenland, it depends on luck if you can find it.
As I said before, polar bears move very slowly in summer.
They travel about a dozen kilometres a day, and a dozen kilometres is a drop in the bucket for a vast coastline.
This leads to a geography around them that doesn't change for days on end.
The dried meat became a snack for the young polar bear who was hungry, and Odis refused to accept his feeding anymore, so they often played between them, I gripped to you and you gripped back to me.
The drone clearly captured the humility of the two polar bears, a scene full of emotion that made people smile and let out a sigh of relief at the same time.
They are so affectionate, and they are in such a difficult position.
: One by one, the polar bears have been on shore for almost a month now. The other bears have already appeared thin and gray, while Odis and Alexander are still so white, although they can't find food either.
: It seems that having the same hygiene habits is one of the conditions to be good friends.
: I really like watching them, I always think they can play the perfect ending, watching the other polar bears in summer always makes me have a kind of heartbreak that I can't bear to look at.
: Two exquisite polar bears, I hope they can take good care of themselves and don't encounter any accidents, blessings.
In the grass, Qiao Qixi's luck was good, he saw wild mint, a plant with mosquito repellent effect that can survive even at -15°.
Mint also has a cooling effect, the juice is applied to the easy to provoke mosquitoes around the eyes cool, Odis immediately felt much more comfortable, the mood naturally better.
No worries, he affectionately rubbed the little polar bear that brought him coolness, and began to concentrate on thinking about where to find food to feed the little bear.
The road that awaited them was very long and full of unknowns.
The sun and the wind, which is no longer cool, and the sound of the waves, accompany the slow steps of the two polar bears, and no one knows what will happen next.
The only thing that is certain is that they will stick by each other's side, go through hunger, search and so on together.
The small bucket without dried meat is used to fill with full of mint leaves in case you can't meet wild mint that can be picked on the road.
Such a day, Qiao Qixi quite accustomed to, because he knows he is not life-threatening, his body fat can be for him to last until the snow and ice again.
The same goes for Odis, they are lucky polar bears.
Yes, every time I think of my encounter with Oddis, Qiao Qixi will be incredibly grateful plus grateful!
For example, before going to bed, when you are used to the performance in your brain, suddenly remembering this, Qiao Qixi will kiss Odis on a whim.
At that time, even if Odis slept drowsily, he would instinctively rub him back for a while, and even wake up and hug him for a while before falling asleep.
Dare to think that Odis is bored with the bear refused to sleep, need to coax a coaxing.
There is still such a leisurely feeling in the summer, probably only they are!
As for the matter of filling the stomach, it is natural to wait to play enough to sleep and then make plans.
The next day, I don't know if it's morning or afternoon, but Qiao Qixi feels hungry and doesn't want to go, ah ah ah, he misses the taste of whale meat, misses the taste of seals, or the flesh of the more woody walrus can also be, it is best to have some.
Anyway, you can eat it!
It is so hungry, really!
"Ouch ..." the world is unfair, where is all the food?
Little polar bear starving out of temper, suddenly a hand on the ground to spill and roll to vent, no longer refused to take a step forward.
"..." Odis immediately stopped when he heard the sound. He turned his head to look at Little Bear's dark and deep eyes, seeming to hide endless love and distress. He walked back to Qiao Qixi with his sturdy limbs, making a low voice. By the way, Qiao Qixi arched up.
Oooh." So hungry.
Qiao Qixi just want to vent the negative energy, if all the time optimistic and positive, he felt that it would be suffocated heart problems.
Because this is a very realistic problem, okay?
No one can face this situation of being hungry for several days with a smile, at least they have to curse and vent.
As for whether it will bring a psychological burden to Odis, uh, Qiao Qixi thinks…a pure polar bear should not be affected by the black mud of other polar bears?
Generally speaking, only changes in the environment and blood relations can have a psychological impact on the animals.
Of course, this is Qiao Qixi's own summary, there is no rigorous scientific basis.
The fat man lay on the ground and watched ODis' reaction with his round eyes.
Odis will hit the child?
No, the other side is still the thousand and one calm expression, subtle emotional changes, hidden under the furry face is difficult to peek, but companionship for many days, Qiao Qixi already know through the Odis's eyes light and dark changes to determine the mood of the other side.
In the face of his playfulness, he guessed that Odis was probably a little helpless ... and heartbroken.
In addition to making a low voice to appease, Odis also lowered his head with his nose arch his buttocks, hoping that he continued to walk the meaning is quite obvious.
The only way to find food is to move forward.
Staying here will only make you hungrier.
For the aggressive polar bears, this gentle force is really gentle and doting, even more than the general level of mother treatment of cubs.
Some mothers in the natural world have very limited patience with their children.
The gentle favour is limited to the nursing period, changing a mother bear to face a two-year-old child like Qiao Qixi, long ago broken legs.
The hundreds of pounds of cuteness on the ground, symbolically wailing two voices, and then end up going crazy, a bone up to shake the hair to continue to rush.
I do not know how long it took, they came to a rocky beach with a tired pace.
The quiet rocky beach, the tide receded to reveal a deep and shallow puddle, this puddle although its appearance, and a lot of silt, but there are puddles there are fish.
Odis experienced, so it knows that there are fish here, Qiao Qixi of course also knows, he has been looking forward to the emergence of such a geographical environment.
Otherwise, it is not so hungry as this bear.
The little polar bear, who loves cleanliness, was driven by hunger to step his white paws into the mud and hunt quietly.
Odis went to the more intense water between the rocks, his goal is clear, quietly stay on top of the rocks, head down and waiting for the opportunity.
His large figure reflected in the water, with the fluctuations of the current, the serious face hidden.
When the fish mix in the current flash, Odis quickly down the mouth, a bite of prey, the action is very crisp and sharp.
Almost at the same time, Qiao Qixi also picked up a fish in the shallow water puddle.
It's just that he didn't bite the fish to death. The fish he smashed in his mouth shook his head and tail vigorously. Numerous muddy spots were like rain…
In a moment flung all over his body.
Qiao Qixi was dumbfounded, he closed his eyes and stunned, and a group of grass nima rushed past in his heart.
Crap, old, son, British, handsome, clean, white, beautiful, shape, image.
After Odis caught the fish, immediately turned back to look for Qiao Qixi, and then saw a, head, face, small chest, which are mud points of the mud bear.
Odis was also stunned, the fish in his mouth almost didn't fall into the water, well, probably because he had never seen the gray-headed Qi Xi, and was a little surprised.
The mud all over by the fish was too uncomfortable, Qiao Qixi hurried to the water with the fish in his mouth, plunged into the splash of splash, and let the cool water wash away the mud on his body.
This way the fish is also tossed to death, just in time to start eating.
After a few days of hunger, Qiao Qixi saw that everyone had fish in their mouths, and happily enjoyed the fruits of their labour.
Only he didn't expect that when he finished eating the fish in his mouth, Odis was still holding that fish in his mouth and feeding it to his mouth seamlessly when he was done.
"!!!" How can this be?
Qiao Qixi couldn't accept this fish no matter what, he was so moved that he shook his head and let Odis eat it himself.
It was rejected. Odis probably didn't understand it. In his cognition, the little polar bear is now very hungry.
A fish is not enough to eat.
But doing things thunderously, he will not spend a lot of time to think about the problem, since Qiao Qixi did not accept this fish, he ate it in three or two and went to catch the next fish.
The wet bear, gazing for a moment at the back of Odis's serious fish catching in the water, had an urge to smile in his heart.
Odis!
It's so foolish.
After the sensationalism, Qiao Qixi got up from the water and went on to explore the shallow puddle full of treasures.
That was easier for him to get food.
About five minutes later, Odis caught another fish in the rushing water, visually bigger and fatter than the one just now.
He stepped on the rocks dotted around the water's edge and came nimbly to Qiao Qixi's side, lowering his head and feeding the fish to the bear.
This time Qiao Qixi no longer refused, because he felt that if he refused again, Odis would be very worried about himself.
A bear that can't even feed its food seems to be not far from death ... so he must accept it gladly!
And bark twice to express thanks.
Odis paused and licked his mouth not knowing what he was thinking, in any case, he later caught smaller fish, he ate himself, and caught the size of the fish before feeding it to Qiao Qixi.
All afternoon, two polar bears were fishing by the water. After eating dozens of them one after another, they finally felt full.
Qiao Qixi was in a wet state all afternoon. Hey, he said that he was very tired after eating this meal. Now that he is full, he can find a slightly flat rock and lie down to dry his hair.
Odis was also wet. With his hair close to his body, he looked sturdy and sturdy. His whole body exudes a strong sense of strength, which was completely different from the plump body line of the bear.
He sat next to Qiao Qixi, licking his paws and licking the bear next door.
Finally decided to lick the bear dry first, and then tended to their own problems.
After tossing and turning for so long before he was full, Qiao Qixi was long sleepy and felt Odis licking himself, he dropped his shameful splits and exposed his fragile belly and all that.
Under the drone's camera, the little polar bear has all four feet upright, and the four black soles are very cute, while the strong Otis puts the little bear's soles in his mouth without disdain.
Ah, Alexander is such a pampered and spoiled bear that the other little polar bears are jealous.
