Chapter 137 The King of the Pine Forest
Jiang Zhi kicked something on his foot, and when he looked down, it was a thick set of white bones.

Instinctively, Jiang Zhi pulled me back a few steps quickly, and stood a certain distance away from the bones before standing still, carefully observing left and right, making sure that there was no danger nearby, and then calmed down.He pulled me behind to protect me, then stepped forward again and examined it carefully.

Jiang Zhi is a surgeon by profession, so he is very familiar with bones. When he was mentally prepared, he went to look at the bones on the ground, and he was sure at a glance that they were not human bones.

Hearing that he said with certainty that it was not a human bone, I was no longer afraid, and not only poked my head out, but also walked out from behind him and joined the ranks of observation.

It's hard to imagine two people squatting on the ground, looking at the pile of bones with relish, and commenting on the scene from time to time. Now we are.

After careful observation and analysis by the two of us, Jiang Zhi finally made a diagnosis. The bones on the ground should be the bones of large mammals such as bears.

As for how it died, I can't see it.Jiang Zhi said that it did not die from poisoning, and there were no scars on its bones, so it was difficult to determine how it died.

On a whim, I said, "Could it be that it froze to death in winter?"

Jiang Zhi knelt down and looked again, and said, "I don't know. Let's not worry about how it died. We have to find a clean place as soon as possible. We won't leave today. It's not safe in the mountains after dark."

I thought so too. In the end we advanced tens of meters and chose a tall red pine as the center to clear out a clearing. I took out two sickles and together with Jiang Zhi weeded out the surrounding tall grass. I mowed a circle, but fortunately, this kind of grass has a stalk at the bottom, and the leaves don't unfold until one-third of the way, so there is a place to start when mowing the grass.

After I cut a few handfuls of grass, I found that there were patches of pine mushrooms growing close to the roots of the grass. This is a good thing, how could I let it go.I pick mushrooms while mowing the grass. This mushroom picking is also addictive. Basically, a small piece of mushrooms will appear when I cut a few handfuls of grass. Then I simply put away the sickle and follow Jiang Zhi. He is in charge of mowing the grass. , I am in charge of picking mushrooms.

After a while, there was a pile of grass and a pile of mushrooms on the ground.

I looked at the vast and luxuriant pine forest and said: "This place is really nice. Look at these mushrooms, they are all like small umbrellas, and they are rare to look at. There is also this green grass, let's take it back , our cattle and sheep should also like it, right?"

"I don't necessarily eat them now. The children in my family have spoiled them. They lead them up the mountain to eat fresh grass every day. They may not be interested in these. But in winter, they must be rare." It is also very happy that such a large grassland allows us to store winter food for cattle and sheep, and mowing grass here saves time and effort. The same amount of grass can save 3 or 4 times the time compared to other places.

"Okay, let's not light a fire and cook outside today, you hurry up to the space to finish today's work, and then cook some food, I will also enter the space later, let's eat in the space, save some time, and save more time." Cut some grass and gather more mushrooms to go back.” I originally planned to have another picnic in the forest to experience the feeling of staying overnight in the mountains, but now the situation has changed, and I still think that cutting grass and picking mushrooms is more important.

Jiang Zhi still has a lot of work to do in the space, which must be done every day. Usually, we go to the space together in the middle of the night. I draw symbols, and Jiang Zhi slaughters cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks. , these animals in the space are flooded.We also collect food and vegetables, and then we have to practice. We are very busy every night.

Today I plan to spend the time drawing characters in the space on cutting grass and picking mushrooms, and let Jiang Zhi go to work in the space by himself.

Jiang Zhi frowned after hearing what I said, and said: "No, I don't worry about you being in this mountain forest by yourself. You should go into the space with me. It's not too late. Let's hurry up and do the work." After you’re done, come out and continue mowing the grass.”

"Oh, I can't see the front of the village and the back of the store. There is no danger. Besides, even if there is danger, I can go to the space to ask for help at any time. I guarantee it will be fine. Now I just want to pick mushrooms, and I don't want to draw symbols. Let me paint, and I can't concentrate, isn't that a waste of time, don't you think?" The more I speak, the more obvious the coquettish tone is, and I know that Jiang Zhi will eat this.

Sure enough, he looked at me as if he couldn't help you, and said, "Then you can't stay outside for too long, just half an hour, you have to enter the space, do you agree?"

He looked at me and nodded, and said, "Then you should be careful and enter the space as soon as there is any trouble. Although there are no people here, animals are also very dangerous, you know?"

"Understood, don't worry about my work, you work hard in the space, I will go in and pick you up in a while." After I finished speaking, I didn't give Jiang Zhi a chance to speak, so I held him directly and sent him to the space .

I touched the sweat on my forehead, thankfully I moved quickly, if I let him speak, I would have to explain and give instructions, wasting a lot of time.

I was afraid that I would forget the time to enter the space while I was working. Jiang Zhi was worried inside, so I took out my mobile phone to fix the spot first (I always carry a mobile phone, whether I can make calls or not, I am used to carrying one with me, and I can take it out when I have nothing to do. out to play games or something.), then I started to mow the grass, and after cutting a small piece, I squatted down to pick mushrooms, and I got busy outside.

When I was busy, I didn't feel the passage of time at all. I didn't look up until the mushrooms and grass in front of me piled up into hills. I had already opened up a circle with a diameter of about 10 meters around the red pine tree. .

Just when I was about to continue working hard, I heard a loud "squeak" sound from a high place. I am familiar with this sound. It is the cry of a squirrel. When I went to work in the pine forest of my home in the past two years , often see squirrels and hear squirrel calls.

I was a little curious about why the squirrel called so loudly, so I looked up in the direction of the sound, and I was shocked.

After a loud "squeak", there were countless "squeaks". When I looked up, I saw a group of squirrels rushing down from a giant red pine about 15 meters away from me. .It really is a batch. The torso of the giant red pine is a 16-lane road for the petite squirrels. The squirrels that came down filled the 16 lanes, and there were 4 to 5 of them. .

They did not rush to the ground, but stopped about 2 meters away from the ground.Then, I heard "squeaks" from all directions, and saw that the red pine as far as I could see was covered with squirrels, and they stopped in an orderly manner 2 meters above the ground.

It feels like the red pine suddenly gained weight at a height of 2 meters.I think there must be tens of thousands of these squirrels. This scene is very spectacular.

If I were a bystander, I would think this scene was shocking, but I seemed to feel that these squirrels were coming towards me, so I was a little curious, a little nervous, and I felt a little bad in my heart.

Sure enough, these squirrels quieted down after they were all in place, and I naturally shifted my sight from the many squirrels to a slightly larger squirrel squatting on the nearest red pine to me.

Its body is about a little bigger than the palm of my hand. Its tail is long and fluffy. It rolls over its back. Its eyes are big and bright. Its ears are long and there is a tuft of red hair on the tip of its ears. This one is different from other squirrels. Other squirrels There are tufts of black hair on the tips of the ears.

Its fur is the same as other squirrels, it is reddish brown, and its belly is white.The limbs are small, the two hind legs are clinging to the trunk, and the tail helps the body maintain balance, forming a squatting position and looking at me on the pine tree.

I saw that its two front paws are very sharp hook claws, which is enough to be scratched.

It's very strange, although it is slightly different from other squirrels in appearance, if you don't look carefully, you may not be able to find it, but I naturally moved my eyes to it.

It was also looking at me with its big and bright eyes, and it just stared at me for 5 minutes. I didn't move, and it didn't move.But I can't spend it with it, I haven't finished my work yet, and it is an illegal assembly, which must be banned according to law.

I raised my hand to communicate with it with gestures, because I thought it couldn't understand me.But as soon as I raised my hand, it bared its big teeth fiercely at me, and the hair on its tail stood up vigilantly. Other squirrels followed its movements and grinned at me.

I'm also a little confused, although I think it's not good for them to watch me like this, but I like small animals like squirrels very much, so I have a very friendly attitude towards them, but why do they explode when I move?
I looked at my hand and realized that I was still holding the scythe I just used to mow the grass. I raised my hand and raised the scythe. They probably thought I was going to attack.

I quickly threw the sickle to the ground, and explained instinctively: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I just forgot that I still had the sickle in my hand, I didn't mean to hurt you, don't be angry."

I don't know if what I said played a role, or the behavior of throwing the sickle played a role. In short, the squirrels calmed down. The leader of the squirrel with a small tuft of red hair on its ear, I named it temporarily. "Red ears", so I think it sounds kind.

Red Ear looked at my movements and realized that I didn't mean to hurt them. The hair on the tail became smoother, she stopped standing at the roots, and the expression on her face softened. The eyes that looked at me were no longer so sharp, and then she squatted down. He made gestures with me on the tree.

I was very surprised to see the series of anthropomorphic movements of Red Ear, and I was even more surprised and frightened that it could communicate with me with gestures.
