Regarding his nephew's idea of going home, Gulunsa neither supported nor opposed it. He didn't express any opinion, but walked with them silently.
Taking a peek at the uncle silently following in the team, Meng Jiuzhao thought to himself: It seems that the uncle is also one of the Kantas who can't remember the way home. This time, he wants to go back to see his grandfather with him, right
My uncle is really boring (≧▽≦)/
As everyone knows, this time Meng Jiuzhao misunderstood Gu Lunsa.
I know everything about myself, and Gu Lunsa clearly knows the level of direction of his Kantas.
The younger brother Blake's sense of direction is inherently bad. He started to get lost when he was still a young cub. He didn't know where he walked from his den to his home, so he became his father's cub.
This is like a father.
Dad's sense of direction is very poor!
It was a very cold winter, Gulunsa was still very young, and his father was also an inexperienced young Kantas. He vaguely remembered that his father was seriously injured during a hunting, and he was unable to hunt for a long time. Gulunsa ate all the food, but Gulunsa still felt that he was going to starve to death.
It was just the breeding season, so my father dragged his seriously injured body to take him to the breeding ground.
Put Gulunsa in the den, and papa went hunting. Dad didn't come back after waiting for a long time, and then a strange Kantas came to the nest and took Gu Lunsa out. But Gulunsa already recognized his father at that time, and whenever he was taken away by other Kantas, he would always find a way to escape and find his father.
He finally found his father under the heavy snow. His father seemed to be asleep. Gu Lunsa pecked at him for a long time before his father woke up. After asking for a long time, his father said that he was lost and could not go back.
It doesn't matter if Dad doesn't know the way, Gu Lunsa has a good memory!
Then Gulunsa and his father went back to their lair happily.
Dad got lost several times later, and every time Gu Lunsa was able to find him accurately. After several times, Dad finally remembered the way, and he was never lost again. After that, Gu Lunsa and his father had a hard time After quite a long period of lack of food, the seriously injured father was unable to go into the water to catch fish, so he gave Gu Lunsa the frozen mice in the underground ice to eat. With this precious food, his father finally healed from his injury. Lunza also ate normal food again and became fatter day by day.
From then on, Gu Lunsa firmly remembered the fact that his father was a big road idiot.
Every time they go to the same breeding place, Gulunsa's main purpose is naturally to mate, and another unspoken purpose is to visit his father by the way.
Then in a certain year, Gu Lunsa met two young brothers in the breeding ground. After asking, I found out: Dad never came back after hunting.
Well, dad sure got lost again.
His two younger brothers inherited his father's shortcoming very well. A few years later, the two younger brothers disappeared together with their cubs. Gu Lunsa thought at that time: The younger brothers probably lost their way too.
Now, the cubs of the younger brothers are here, and Gu Lunsa actually has no hope for their ability to recognize the way.
Looking at these two little guys, if they really can't find a home, I will introduce them to a good place I know-with this idea, Gu Lunsa silently followed the team of cubs.
Doing good deeds without saying a word, Gu Lunsa is actually really boring!
With Alice on her back who is curious and hopeful, and George who is snoring and sleeping in her arms (← Gu Lunsa finally snatched George), Gu Lunsa is enjoying the warm and heavy life of raising cubs , while watching the strange behavior of the nephews.
It seems... Black and Bai have had a hard time these past few years! The cubs actually started looking for grass to eat—
While looking at his nephews with distressed eyes, Gu Lunsa quietly decided that he must catch a big game to feed his nephews this afternoon! Kantas are carnivores! Only by eating meat can you grow tall and strong!
Don't guess what uncle is thinking!
Meng Jiuzhao was baffled by Gu Lunsa's pitying eyes. He shrank his neck and continued with the work in hand: peeling off the snow on the ground to reveal the moss underneath, pinching one and looking carefully.
It is still very cold here, and the ground is covered with snow all year round, but in the middle of the snow, moss can already be seen looming.
This kind of moss is not delicious at all, but it is a delicacy enjoyed by rock dragons who are not picky eaters.
In fact, before those rock dragons appeared, although Meng Jiuzhao said yes, he had no clue about the way home, so he could only choose to follow the big army and move on. The moment he saw the group of rock dragons, his My heart finally settled down.
The herbivorous rock dragon appeared! Time to observe the vegetation on the ground!
When he came, Meng Jiuzhao recorded in detail the changes in the vegetation along the way and the distribution of soil types. He carefully recorded all these changes on a piece of leather, worrying that his memory might be missed. Meng Jiuzhao also asked other Kantas Recorded it for myself. Now he is checking the vegetation and soil on the ground today against the records at that time.
Meng Jiuzhao mainly relies on observation and writing to record vegetation, and occasionally tastes it. Other Kantas cannot imitate his recording behavior, so the only remaining recording methods are "observation" and "taste". .
"Ah! I have an impression of this smell, it's so disgusting!" When eating one of the moss, Xiaohua vomited: "I vomited at that time."
"Yeah, this grass is really hard to eat, but I remember that before I met it, I ate a kind of sweet grass~" Carefully picked up a piece of moss and carefully identified it, Jojo also agreed nodded.
"That's right, when we find that kind of sweet grass, we will be one step closer to home!" Meng Jiuzhao fully affirmed the judgment of Kantas and the others, and encouraged them.
"I want to remember these grasses well, so that when my family Duoduo comes here to reproduce in the future, they won't get lost." Kantas is really different after having cubs. Xiaohua and the others would remember the appearance of these grasses Hewei was only at Meng Jiuzhao's request, but now thinking of the cub, this behavior immediately became spontaneous and active.
Xiaohua's words reminded the other Kantas all at once, and all the Kantas began to record carefully. Not only did they repeat themselves, but they also put some in their backpacks, and even asked the cubs to come out and carefully record them. Take a look at these little plants.
Meng Jiuzhao did not stop them from doing this kind of behavior, and he was even happy to hear about this kind of behavior.
Even cubs have memories, maybe only vague ones, but it might help them a lot at some point in the future.
Kantas has a strong learning ability, which has evolved from generation to generation. They will take the initiative to learn the good methods discovered by other Kantas, and then pass them on to their next generation. This learning ability makes them smarter from generation to generation. For example: Although Meng is already very smart, Meng Jiuzhao thinks that Black and Bai are obviously smarter than Meng. This kind of law is also common in the Washi tribe. It is also counting. It is very difficult for the adults in the tribe to learn, but the friends who grew up with Meng Jiuzhao can count very clearly.
Now there is no ice layer that might break at any time, and there are so many adult Kantas around to take care of it, Meng Jiuzhao is not opposed to letting the cubs come out to play for a while every day. He will let the little ones have a look at the outside world. Whenever the little ones are interested in the plants on the ground, Meng Jiuzhao will let them peck the edible ones, and let their father After spanking their little butts, as time goes by, the little guys also initially know what they can eat and what they can't eat.
Meng Jiuzhao has always wanted to find some winter fruit for George and Alice that he ate back then, "I want my cub to taste the happiest taste of my childhood", this is probably human, but it is a pity He searched for a long time but couldn't find that kind of fruit. It probably just means that the place where he lived when he was a child is probably not the same place as this place now, right
With a little regret, Meng Jiuzhao led a group of Kantas forward on the same vegetation-covered land for two days, and they finally tasted the sweet grass.
For this group of Kantas, this is a great encouragement!
For the first time, they felt that they had mastered a certain pattern!
"Look! I'm right! Behind the unpalatable grass is sweet grass!" Tasting the sweetness of this grass, Xiaohua cried happily: "I remember, behind the sweet grass is There is a kind of salty big-leaf grass!"
In this group of Kantas, Xiaohua is the most interested in plants. Although what he is really interested in is actually flowers, but because he likes flowers, he is also very good at observing other plants.
Xiao Hua was right.
According to Meng Jiuzhao's notes, before encountering this short sweet grass, they passed through a land with big-leaved grass.
Everyone reminded each other with each other, and they pieced together the characteristics of that land one by one.
Now when he looked at the cubs again, Gu Lunsa was a little surprised. For the first time, he realized that these cubs were really not joking, and they really planned to go home.
It's not that they went to the breeding ground unprepared, they actually recorded the vegetation characteristics along the way!
This is an unprecedented thing: as a carnivorous race, Kantas naturally eat meat, and they can remember the approximate distribution of their prey, but no Kantas have ever thought about remembering the distribution of vegetation along the way. However, in terms of geographical distribution, the regional characteristics of vegetation are far more obvious than those of prey!
What a clever way to do it! These pups might actually go home!
Thinking of this, Gu Lun Sadu couldn't help feeling hopeful about seeing his father again.
However-
Just when they were ambitious and hopeful to find the next plant in five days, a basin of cold water fell from the sky.
Can't find it! Can't find it at all!
Meng Jiuzhao's notes suddenly failed, and they found no trace of that plant at all within the time period when they expected to find the next plant.
