With the help of the flashlight, Zhang Zian could only see a small area covered by the flashlight. The strong contrast between light and dark made it difficult for him to see anything else in the darkness.
In order to blind as many fennec foxes as possible, he swung the flashlight around. It was inevitable that the light would occasionally sweep across Fina and Famous. After all, he couldn't see them clearly in the dark.
Famous could understand, and a dog's night vision was not as good as a cat's. It was far away and only a short black shadow appeared in front of it. But Fina couldn't stand it.
"I didn't do it on purpose!"
Zhang Zian repeatedly cried out that he was wronged. His pair of jeans, which had been mature and stable, had now become rags. Even the most basic sunscreen ability was almost gone. It looked quite fashionable, but unfortunately, it was not suitable in the desert.
"You still dare to quibble? What kind of trick did you come up with? Can't you tell me in advance? This empress almost bumped into a smelly and flirtatious fox. My vision is still blurry now! "
Fina was full of resentment, blinking and rubbing her eyes.
"What? Could it be that when you attacked just now, your eyes couldn't see clearly? "
Zhang Zian was shocked. He thought that Fina was being merciful, so he didn't leave a few bloodstains on his thigh. He didn't expect that her vision hadn't recovered yet. She was just venting her anger and waving her claws randomly. There was no mercy at all …
"Why do I need to see clearly before I attack?" Fina said matter-of-factly. She blinked, and her vision recovered more.
Zhang Zian was speechless. What you said makes sense, so I have to stay away from you.
He quietly moved his feet and distanced himself from Fina, lest it attack again.
The fennec foxes in the phone were temporarily ignored. The fennec foxes covered by the coat were constantly struggling and screaming. However, they were closer to the flashlight, and their vision was far from recovering.
Zhang Zian left the tent on the excuse of going to the bathroom. He had not returned yet. Even if he was constipated, he had been away for too long. If he didn't go back, he was afraid that it would cause the night watchers to worry. If they thought that he was missing or encountered an accident, they would wake up everyone to find him.
"Should we chase after the ones that ran away?" Famous asked.
Although a few escaped, they did not run too far away, probably because they were reluctant to leave their family and group. Instead, they wandered a little further away. After turning off the flashlight, their eyes could be seen flashing.
If they wanted to give chase, it would be difficult for them to escape after losing their leader.
"Forget it, we've been gone for too long. Let's go back to the camp first. It doesn't matter if they ran away." Zhang Zian operated fiercely through the coat. He squeezed a few fennec foxes under the coat into the sleeve of the coat since they were small anyway. Then he tightened the cuffs and carried the coat on his shoulder like a sack.
Maybe it was because he was blind, but the fennec fox in his coat didn't release any stench. Otherwise, in addition to losing a pair of jeans, he would have to lose an extra coat, which would be too much of a loss.
As soon as he returned to the camp, a flashlight shone on him from afar. The Guardian of the Night was probably anxious. If he didn't come back soon, they would really go looking for him.
He waved apologetically at the flashlight, indicating that he was fine.
The flashlight went out.
It was not a good idea to keep the fennec fox in his coat. He did not enter the tent. Instead, he went around to his car, opened the trunk, and took out a few folded wire cages.
In order to catch the original Egyptian cats and other valuable animals encountered along the way, the expedition team bought wire cages locally in Egypt. When they were not in use, they could be folded so that they didn't take up much space.
Zhang Zian first put the fennec fox in his coat into the cage, then released the fennec fox from his phone into the empty cage. Two or three fennec foxes shared a cage. Anyway, they were small and social animals that lived together for a long time, so it didn't matter.
Coming to an unfamiliar environment, the timid fennec foxes whispered uneasily and showed their sharp teeth to bite the cage, trying to bite the wire and escape.
Zhang Zian let Fina and Famous go back to the tent to sleep. He took out a small plate, a small bowl, or a cup lid, poured some water, and sent it into the cage.
When he opened the cage door, he also prevented the fennec foxes from escaping from the cage door, but they all shrank into the corner. Only when he closed the cage door did they cautiously approach the water. First, they sniffed, probably because they smelled his scent. They seemed a little afraid, but the desire for water quickly overwhelmed their fear. They surrounded the water and licked it. In a short while, they had licked the water.
It was usually difficult for fennec foxes to find clean water. They generally relied on the water in their food to survive. Coupled with their body's ability to preserve water, they maintained a balance.
The water in the other cages was also drunk. Zhang Zian poured some more water for them, but they were quickly licked clean again.
At this time, their vision had more or less returned to normal. They all licked their lips and stared at him.
It was not good to give them too much water at once. After all, they had adapted to the drought. It might cause them to have diarrhea. He no longer added water. Instead, he tore the electric roasted chicken breast for Fina into strips and put them into small plates and small bowls.
Like cats, fennec foxes drank less water and urinated less. Too much salt in their food would damage their kidneys, so they couldn't eat food with high salt content.
The fennec foxes had never seen such soft and tender meat. It exuded a pleasant fragrance, and it was not wrapped in an annoying hard shell or rough skin. Other than being too dry, there were no shortcomings. Besides, they had just drunk water, so it was okay for the food to be dry.
Although the chicken was stained with Zhang Zian's scent, they couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food. After a little hesitation, they fought to eat the chicken. In order to fight for food, they even had some insignificant friction. They pushed each other and bit each other, but they didn't bite through the skin.
Zhang Zian tore some more chicken breast and threw it into the cage. Basically, Fina's meal could fill the stomachs of two or three fennec foxes. After this idea popped up in his mind, he quickly glanced at the tent, worried that Fina would jump out and say that he was criticizing it …
Fina didn't appear. It was probably already asleep, or it was too lazy to jump out and criticize him. It would be better to wait for him to return to the tent and give him a quick paw.
After eating the chicken breast for the second time, the fennec foxes were no longer afraid of him. They even gathered at the cage door, staring at his hand that was stained with the smell of chicken, waiting for him to put a few more pieces of chicken in.
It was rare for wild animals to encounter enough food. Once they encountered it, they would eat until they were full and didn't know how to control themselves. Zhang Zian estimated that they were actually 80% full, so he didn't feed them anymore.
After tossing and turning for a long time, he was also sleepy. When people saw the sudden appearance of a group of fennec foxes tomorrow morning, they would be very surprised.
