I am Honghuang No.1

Chapter 4 Treat Me to Pine Nuts

Gao Ge wore a black armor on his chest and back, a short stick on his waist, a straw rope net bag with a stone egg hanging on it, a black armor shield on his left hand, and White Fang in his right hand, and walked carefully into the No. [-] valley.

The No. [-] valley is narrow and deep, with steep mountains on both sides, covered with large and small pine trees, and the rare green valley.

A huge tree trunk with countless broken root systems slanted over the valley. Looking at the countless broken pine trees at the foot of the mountain, it was obvious that they flew in from outside.

Gao Ge secretly rejoiced that this big tree trunk landed in the fourth valley. If it fell into his own valley one, it would be a disaster. At that time, he happened to be standing at the entrance of the valley. When he was swept by the tree trunk, he could go to steam meat cake.

See six directions, listen to all directions.

Gao Ge was highly vigilant, and walked in step by step. It is hard to believe that there are no ferocious beasts in such a lush forest.

The valley was quiet, Gao Ge didn't make a sound, and slowly came to the giant tree trunk.

Tiny!

Although living in a valley surrounded by mountains, Gao Ge has always felt small, but he usually deals with small trees and grass, and doesn't pay much attention to the mountains, so the feeling of smallness is not strong.

But at this moment, standing next to the trunk of this giant tree, a feeling of insignificance can't help but hit my heart.

By visual inspection, the trunk has a diameter of at least [-] feet, and the smallest rhizome that hangs randomly on the valley floor has a diameter of several feet. Standing beside it, Gao Ge looks like a little ant crawling under the big banyan tree.

Gao Ge took a look, jumped on a tree root, and walked slowly towards the big tree. The outer skin of the root system used to be relatively smooth, but now it has slowly begun to wither. It is not troublesome to walk up the road.

Walking to the end of the root system, you have reached the upper half of the trunk, and you can climb up the huge bark.

Gao Ge stared at the green-brown bark for a long time, but couldn't tell what kind of tree it was. It must have been extinct in later generations, so there was no need to identify it.

If there are still such big trees, there is no need to build any reinforced concrete skyscrapers. Find a few carpenters and dig them casually, and the houses will come out one by one. By the way, all the furniture will be dug up, saving time and effort. Environmentally friendly and economical, tens of thousands of people live in a big tree with wet water, warm in winter and cool in summer, and the land use fee is exempted, and the house price will be reduced by at least half.

Gao Ge walked along the thick bark lines, like climbing a mountain, all the way to the top of the trunk, and was about to climb to the highest point. Gao Ge stopped for a breath, glanced around, and looked at the top of the trunk again. A pair of round His big eyes instantly entered Gao Ge's eyes.

"what!"

Gao Ge screamed, kicked his feet, and jumped backwards.

After falling [-] to [-] feet, Gao Ge stood firm and looked nervously at the top of the tree trunk, but it was empty and there was nothing there.

Gao Ge couldn't believe that he was dazzled just now, after thinking about it, those big black eyes seemed to grow on the head of a furry mouse, maybe it was a huge mouse.

Gao Ge became nervous. The mouse is different from the black armored beast and the giant ant beast. His speed is much faster. Gao Ge doesn't know whether he can outrun the giant mouse beast with his current body.

After waiting for a while, the giant mouse beast never showed up.

Gao Ge thought for a while, took out a stone egg, and threw it towards the top of the tree trunk, asking for directions.

The stone egg landed on the top of the tree trunk with a thud, then rolled on the bark, and rolled towards the opposite side, making rustling noises all the way.

Gao Ge listened intently, and suddenly, the sound stopped, and he didn't know whether it was stopped by the bark, or was eaten by the giant rat beast.

Gao Ge was in a dilemma, and hadn't figured out what to do next. With a "click", an oval object fell from the top of the tree trunk, jumped a few times, and rolled down towards Gao Ge.

Gao Ge reached out and grabbed it, and took a closer look, a little dumbfounded, it turned out to be a pine cone the size of a baby's head.

A small half of the scales of the pine cone have been pulled off, exposing the white pine nuts inside. Looking at the marks, it is obvious that they have just been pulled back. Could it be a squirrel?
Gao Ge thought for a while, and slowly climbed up again, when he heard a crackling sound coming from the tree trunk.

Stretching out his head, he saw a huge squirrel squatting on the tree trunk, maybe not three feet high, with a thick tail raised, hugging a pine cone, peeling off the scales of the pine cone, and heard the sound of singing , looking up at Gao Ge.

Those big round eyes were black and shiny, revealing curiosity and vigilance, except that there was no murderous intent in the eyes of the giant ant beast and the black armored beast. Could it be a good squirrel of the lawful camp?
Gao Ge put down the white tooth in his hand, his eyes softened, looking at the big squirrel, he thought this squirrel was extremely cute.

Gao Ge has never kept cats and dogs before, so he doesn't know the psychology of pet owners, but now he thinks that it would be pretty good to keep a squirrel.

The big squirrel looked at it, and then picked up the pine cone with its two front feet, clicked and pulled up the scales, but it was not afraid of Gao Ge, and did not chase Gao Ge away.

Gao Ge was afraid of scaring the squirrels, so he didn't go any further. He put White Fang and the round shield on his body, and picked up the pine cone.

The big squirrel invited me to eat pine nuts?

Gao Ge took out a pine nut, hesitated, took a bite, it was a little sweet, not as fragrant as roasted pine nuts.

The big squirrel seemed very happy when Gao Ge ate the pine nuts, and the speed of the scales was also increased. After a while, a pine cone was peeled clean, and then looked at Gao Ge, biting out the pine nuts. Chewing quickly.

After eating two pine nuts, Gao Ge thought for a while, turned around and ran down the tree. The big squirrel jumped lightly, stood on the top of the big tree trunk, watched Gao Ge run towards the valley mouth, his big eyes were full of puzzlement.

Gao Ge ran to the No. [-] valley, dug a few pieces of big sealwort, ran to the No. [-] valley, pulled out more than a dozen grass roots, quickly ran back to the big tree trunk, climbed up the big tree trunk, and there was no sign of the big squirrel .

Put the sealwort and grass roots on the top of the big tree trunk, Gao Ge looked up and looked around, only the tall pine trees were rustling by the wind, and the big squirrel didn't know where it went.

Gao Ge felt that the big squirrel must be hiding somewhere and watching him, so he picked up the pine cone, took out two pine nuts, put them in his mouth and chewed them loudly, and then took a piece of sealwort and ate them in big gulps. A long grass root is stuffed into the mouth inch by inch. I believe the big squirrel knows that these two things are edible after seeing it.

After waiting for a while, the big squirrel still didn't come out, and Gao Ge didn't have the desire to explore the valley, so he said to the valley, "Big squirrel, I invite you to eat sealwort and grass roots, and I'll come see you tomorrow."

Then he waved his hand, as if saying goodbye to a friend, jumped off the big tree trunk briskly, and went out of the valley.

As soon as Gao Ge's figure left the valley, the big squirrel rushed out from the forest, jumped to the top of the big tree trunk a few times, pulled the sealwort and grass roots with its paws, picked up a piece of sealwort and took a bite, chewed it a few times, as if not So satisfied, I dropped it.

He picked up another long grass root, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed a few mouthfuls, his eyes became brighter, and he quickly ate the grass root. He was still unsatisfied, and after eating two more, the stimulant in the grass root began to work. The big squirrel happily ran around in the forest, squandering its vigorous energy.

After a long time, the squirrel calmed down, quickly picked dozens of big pine cones from the pine tree, piled them on the top of the big tree trunk, and then dragged all the grass roots back into the tree hole where it lived.
