In the wilderness behind the Budong River Protection Station, no, it should now be called a snowfield, here lived small animals at the bottom of the food chain, such as the Highland Rabbit and various Highland rodents.
The long winter required these little fellows, adept at burrowing, to search for grass roots and moss under the layer of snow, feeding themselves to the full, only to, in turn, become sustenance for the carnivores higher up the chain.
Jinya was not very familiar with the vicinity, so her explorations today, covering such a wide area, had turned out to be fruitless.
By nine o'clock in the evening, with the wind howling outside, she was eager to go out hunting again, but Chen Ying forcibly stopped her and closed the large door of the animal shed to the backyard.
After the door was shut, the temperature inside began to rise gradually.
Little Jin felt much better.
