happy apocalypse

Chapter 201
Just as our husband and wife were busy with dinner, there was a creaking sound from the tree.

As soon as I looked up, I saw Red Ear was squatting on the branch next to me, looking down at us.

I felt guilty for a moment, after all, I was taking things without asking, but then I felt at ease, they are all friends, what are friends for.It's just that there are good things to share, and I only ate a little bit of mushrooms from it, and it sure doesn't mind.

"Hong Er, you are here, come down quickly, and we will have dinner in a while. Our old Jiang's craftsmanship is very good. I guarantee that you will want to eat after this meal." I shamelessly greeted the red ear above, and came down to eat with others mushrooms.

Jiang Zhi didn't say anything, just let Hong Er and I talk nonsense, and he was in charge of cooking.

Red Ear was sulking for a while, seeing what we should do down here, and probably figured it out, it's useless to be angry, the two of us simply ignored it, so after it rolled its eyes at the sky, It jumped up to us a few times, squatting next to the small wooden plate and small wooden bowl I prepared for it, waiting for dinner made with its own things.

After a while, the meal was ready. I specially filled a bowl of mushroom soup for Hong Er, and used chopsticks to pick up a large piece of fish belly meat and let it dry, and then watched Jiang Zhi pull it out from the fire. The clod broke when it was lightly tapped on the outer mud layer, and the smell of chicken wafted out of the air. I saw that Hong Er was obviously swallowing and spitting, so I turned my head and smiled lowly.

This red ear has somehow opened up his intelligence, and there are many humanized actions in life.I guess I have eaten boiled chicken before, and I know it is delicious, that's why I acted like that.

"Greedy, let me tell you, this is our Chef Jiang's specialty dish. You haven't eaten chicken for a long time, don't be too polite for a while, you can eat hard, and you will be full today." I pretended to be generous. , is actually a joke about what Red Ear did just now.

After hearing what I said, Hong Er squeaked with backbone at first, and then turned his back, expressing that he would not eat the food that came from him. As a result, as the chicken was pulled out of the soil bit by bit, the smell of the meat became stronger and stronger. Unable to bear the temptation, Er secretly turned his little head around.

I was about to continue laughing at it, but Jiang Zhi stopped me with a look. He told me to stop it, don't really piss him off, he's going to give us a good look.

I stuck out my tongue, not daring to tease Hong Er any more, and said, "Red Er, come on, you will suffer if you don't eat it, we ate your mushrooms, and you eat our chicken instead, don't you?" Is it okay?"

The red ear was already tempted by the smell of chicken, and now it heard me give it a step, so it stopped being pretentious, and quickly ran to its rice bowl, waiting for me to tear the chicken for it.

Seeing its funny appearance, I couldn't help it anymore. I burst out laughing with a puff. When I saw the red-eared little eyes staring at me, I quickly restrained my smile, straightened my posture, and moved my hands quickly. Red Ear tore off a chicken leg, blew it and placed it on the wooden plate in front of it.

Red Ear is very satisfied with my service, and nodded to me in a very gentlemanly way to express his thanks. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw its mouse-like appearance. In order not to make it angry, I had to turn Turning around, I snickered.

Jiang Zhi saw that I was so unfocused, so he tapped me on the head helplessly, and said in a low voice: "How old are you, why are you still like a child?"

We had a very happy meal, most of which were red-eared and I talking about some things we had done in the village in the past few months.

Later I talked about the pig farm in the village, "...there are 30 pigs raised in the village now, and they can be killed and eaten after the snow this winter. The pigs that are fed are much tastier, but what we feed here are chaff and grass, although they grow slowly, the taste is absolutely delicious..."

I was happy when I was talking, Jiang Zhi stabbed me next to me, I looked back at him very unwillingly, this man is really good, he can finally show off his achievements to others, why don’t you let me say it happily Well, you must know that in the village, everyone knows these things, and I have no one to show off.

Jiang Zhi pouted at me angrily, meaning to tell me to look at Hong Er. I turned around and saw that Hong Er was in a daze with a worried expression on his face. He didn’t eat the chicken leg he was holding in his hand. What happened? What did I say? Is it possible to make it daze?I started to think back to what I said just now, as if I really didn't say anything.

I looked at Jiang Zhi at a loss, hoping that he, a bystander, could give me some hints. Jiang Zhi just said two words "pork", and I immediately came to my senses. This red ear is not thinking about pork, is it? , it’s unlikely. It’s a squirrel. Although it’s an omnivore, the meat it really eats is just insects. It just gnawed on the chicken leg that was given to it just now, and it’s only about the size of two bites I ate. How could it I was thinking about pork. Could it be that it has been eaten before?

Since I had a question, of course I had to ask the person concerned for an answer, so I asked, "Hong Er, have you ever eaten pork before?"

Red Ear recovered from the daze, and then fell into memory again. I saw the nostalgia on its face, so I didn't disturb it, ate another chicken leg, and waited for it to recover by itself.

After a while, Hong Er came back to his senses, but his expression was a little depressed, and he lost interest in looking at the chicken leg in his hand.

I saw that it felt very uncomfortable in that way. It must have remembered all kinds of things from the previous owner, so it said: "Don't be sad, in winter, Lao Jiang and I will bring you some pork, let you I can eat some to nourish my body.” I don’t know if squirrels can eat pork, and if red ears eat chicken like this, I don’t know if it’s special or if squirrels are like this.

After hearing what I said, the expression in the eyes of the red ear softened again, and it gestured to us, telling us not to bring it, because there is no one to eat it here, then it thought about it again, and squeaked at the sky Call.

Although we can understand its meaning from its gestures, we still can’t do anything about such a professional squirrel language, so we don’t know what it means. It seems that after watching the red ear squeak, it starts to gnaw on the chicken leg again. I guess Thinking, its convulsions for a while have passed, maybe it has reached menopause, I secretly cursed in my heart.

This dinner is very filling, the mushrooms are very fresh, especially the mushrooms fried by Jiangzhi (this is done in the space, the temperature outside the fire is not so high, it is not easy to control.), Jiangzhi is on the fresh mushrooms Sprinkle some seasoning powder, it tastes more crispy and sweet.

When the red ear started to eat, it was choked by the seasoning powder on it and sneezed several times. After seeing the sweetness of our food, it tried to get closer and dared to eat it when it got used to it. However, it also liked the taste very much. I ate it piece by piece.

After dinner, it was already dark, and we sat around the raised bonfire.

"Hong Er, did you suffer a lot last winter?" I know that a lot of squirrels died of freezing and starvation last year. The situation did not ease until we left some pine nuts for Hong Er, but some squirrels were still killed. so cold.

When Hong Er heard my question, her face was a little sad. I could tell, stop asking, this opening made people sad.

"The current situation is okay, do you usually need to drink water?" I don't know if they usually drink water, but I just want to know if such a dry weather will affect them?
The red ear made gestures with me, and I finally understood what it meant even after I hadn't guessed it. I also blamed the question I asked, it was too difficult for a squirrel to answer.

They live in the pine forest with red ears. Most of the time they wake up in the morning to drink the dew on the pine branches. However, due to the recent drought, they can't find dew to drink every morning, so they start looking for dew in the pine forest. Other berries that can replace drinking water, but there are only pine trees and no berries here, so they can only gnaw some tender green pine needles to extract some water recently, but this is not a long-term solution.

I pondered for a while, and decided to tell Hong Er about the end times so that it could be prepared.

"Red ear, the weather last year and this year is not an accidental phenomenon. As animals, you should be born with a sense of disaster. In the next few years, there will be such abnormal weather, so you have to find a way to make you Get through this disaster safely with your partners." It is said on TV that animals have an instinctive response to an impending disaster, and then do something beyond common sense. Red ears are animals with enlightened intelligence. should be stronger.

After hearing this, Hong Er took it for granted and discussed with me how to find enough water in summer if we store enough food in summer.

Finally, I suggested that it can let its companions pick all the mushrooms in the grass, and then hang them on the branches to dry, so that they will not be damaged even after several years.Furthermore, they need a higher storage room. They can't bury all the pine nuts in the ground. When it snows, they can't dig them with their small bodies.As for the problem of water in summer, I think the solution once and for all is to plant some fruit trees in the red pine forest, which will produce a lot of fruits every year, and red ears can get water from the fruits.

As for the few years when the fruit has not yet matured, the fruit problem will be solved by us as friends. It is agreed that we will leave enough fruit for them after dawn tomorrow.In the future, if I have the opportunity, I will come to the mountains regularly to see them and leave some necessities for them.

In this way, I said, Hong Er gestured, and we discussed for a long time, until Jiang Zhi said that it was too late and it was time to rest, and Hong Er left, gesturing that it would come again tomorrow morning.
