Chapter 268: Departure is Always Accompanied by Sadness!

Soon, this dinner ended. Although the two bears had doubts about Xiao Yi's intentions, Erhei and Gou Dan still swallowed the two fish on the ground.

Seeing that Xiao Yi didn't have any other actions, the two bears breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the bear den with some joy.

As for Xiao Yi at this time, he was the same as usual. After eating, he packed up and took Huang Mao and the little lynx, the two little guys, back to the log cabin.

Afterwards, Xiao Yi's camp was silent again, with only a few deer calls ringing from time to time, showing the vitality of this place.

However, due to the weather, the six reindeer also walked together to huddle for warmth, resisting the cold wind from this wilderness.

Early the next morning, when Xiao Yi opened his eyes, it was still pitch black outside, clearly the night was longer and the day was shorter.

However, the sky outside was quite good. Looking up, he could still see some stars, and Xiao Yi was also in the mood to push open the log cabin door and sit on the threshold to watch the stars.

In fact, Xiao Yi was still looking forward to the appearance of the polar night phenomenon. Isn't it a kind of romance to be able to see the polar night in the Arctic Circle?

But here, Xiao Yi has no hope of seeing the polar night, which also has to do with his location.

The place where he is located is at the edge of the Arctic. If he wants to see the Arctic polar night phenomenon here, he will have to wait until around December 22nd, when there will be a few days of polar night phenomenon.

However, Xiao Yi doesn't have that much time. Even if he can survive in this Arctic wilderness for exactly one hundred days, his show journey will officially end around the beginning of December.

Therefore, if Xiao Yi really wants to see the Arctic polar night phenomenon, he can only travel all the way north next.

"Zhi zhi!"

However, at this moment, Huang Mao also woke up, ran over directly, and jumped onto Xiao Yi's shoulder very naturally, calling out.

Feeling the warmth by his ear, Xiao Yi turned his head and looked at Huang Mao, then didn

Xiao Yi knew that this little thing might have sensed a glimmer of his thoughts!

Just like that, Xiao Yi and Huang Mao—this man and this squirrel—sat on the threshold watching the stars; the scene had an indescribable beauty.

It is unknown how much time had passed, but a faint white light had already appeared in the sky, and the stars were slowly fading away.

It was only then that Xiao Yi, with a hint of emotion, spoke out loud.

"Little guy, it's time for you to go. Leave this place and return to where you belong."

It is unknown if Huang Mao truly understood Xiao Yi's words, but after Xiao Yi finished speaking, Huang Mao jumped directly off Xiao Yi's shoulder.

Then, standing at the threshold, Huang Mao looked into the log cabin, somewhat dazed, with eyes filled with lingering attachment and reluctance, as if trying to memorize everything inside the cabin at this moment.

As for the little lynx, it had not yet realized anything at this time.

It was currently fast asleep on a chair inside the room, only twitching its little nose from time to time, showing that its sleep was not actually peaceful.

Looking at the little lynx still fast asleep there, and its size which was already more robust than his own, a rare look of satisfaction appeared in Huang Mao's eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Yi did not pay attention to Huang Mao and turned to walk into the log cabin. When Xiao Yi came out again, he had a palm-sized leather bag in his hand.

The bag was already filled with pine nuts, and having lived with Xiao Yi for a long time, Huang Mao had long since mastered the technique of opening the bag.

These past few days, the little guy had often secretly opened the leather bag to steal food. It wasn't that Xiao Yi hadn't noticed; he just hadn't bothered with the little guy.

After coming out, Xiao Yi sat back down on the threshold!

However, he gently stroked Huang Mao's little head as it stood outside the threshold, and then carefully placed the leather bag in front of Huang Mao.

If it were in the past, when Huang Mao saw the leather bag filled with pine nuts being delivered to its front by Xiao Yi, it would have long since squeaked with joy.

But today, Huang Mao's gaze was not on the leather bag for even a second; its eyes were fixed firmly on the little lynx lying on the chair.

"Sigh!"

Xiao Yi naturally noticed this scene and couldn't help but sigh gently once more.

Afterwards, he picked up Huang Mao, turned it to face away from the wooden door, and pushed it outward, saying:

"Go! Go! Go back to live where you belong. Although this place is good, it is ultimately not your paradise."

Yet, even when pushed like this by Xiao Yi, Huang Mao only took a few steps forward.

However, Huang Mao did not turn back to look this time. It had now fully understood Xiao Yi's thoughts, but even so, it still did not leave.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yi felt a rare sense of heartache, and then, feeling sentimental, he continued to say:

"Leave! I will look after it until it grows up, so it can survive in this wilderness."

"Squeak! Squeak!"

Perhaps it really did understand Xiao Yi's words this time; Huang Mao finally made a new move.

It squeaked sharply several times, as if giving its final instructions to Xiao Yi.

Afterwards, Huang Mao bit the leather bag and walked slowly toward the direction outside the camp, looking back every three steps.

It knew that this parting might also be a final farewell to the little lynx and Xiao Yi.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yi suddenly felt a heavy sense of guilt, as if he were the bad guy or the villain from a TV show.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

Before long, Huang Mao, dragging the leather bag, disappeared from Xiao Yi's sight, and only the sound of Huang Mao's occasional squeaks remained in his ears from afar.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi was somewhat dazed, then sighed helplessly and said, "This feeling is truly hateful."

"Roar! Roar!"

However, just at this moment, two bear roars suddenly came from the bear den, the sounds filled with sadness and even a hint of reluctance.

After Huang Mao disappeared, Hei Dan and Gou Dan slowly walked out of the bear den, their eyes fixed on the spot where Huang Mao had vanished.

Because Xiao Yi's camp had not been very peaceful these past few days, even though no large beasts had come to harass them, it was enough to keep the two bears on constant alert while resting.

Xiao Yi and Huang Mao's movements and sounds just now had naturally long since awakened the two vigilant bears.

However, after seeing Xiao Yi pushing Huang Mao away, both bears fell into a tacit silence, then silently lay in the bear den without making a single sound.

Although the two bears didn't think much of Huang Mao or the little lynx, and Gou Dan had even been planning how to eat these two little things.

But after all, they had spent a long time together, and even between different species, a hint of affection had now developed.

It wasn't that Gou Dan hadn't had the opportunity to eat the two little guys, but in the end, it had only chosen to intimidate them a little.

Seeing Huang Mao leave now, the two bears also felt a sense of gloom in their hearts.

Hei Dan was even more saddened by this scene, because it had experienced this very thing itself.

"Squeak!"

Upon hearing the bear roars, Huang Mao, who had disappeared from view, seemed to know that the two big bears were bidding it a final farewell.

It then squeaked twice in response!

When it comes to emotions, animals may be even more sensitive than humans.

At this moment, after seeing Hei Dan and Gou Dan, Xiao Yi didn't say much, just looked in the direction Huang Mao had left, somewhat dazed.
