Chapter 1 Woodpeckers

In the early morning, Lu Feng got out of the nest made of withered yellow pine needles and soft grass wadding, and used his front paws to block Wu Liuliu's big eyes from the glare of the sun.

It is already the season of cool autumn wind, the forest is full of golden or bright red fallen leaves, which are fully spread on the black and red soil, rustling lightly with the wind.

Not far away is a persimmon tree, which has already taken off all its clothes and is covered with orange lanterns.From time to time, birds landed on the branches, stretched their necks and pecked open the soft fruit skin with their sharp beaks, greedily sucked the delicious juice, and played around.

"Duk duk, duk duk, duk duk duk duk..."

The sound of blunt nails beating wood was heard from the head, and the rhythm was very fast. After a few knocks, it stopped for a while, and then started again.

Carefully combing the beard and hair on his face and ears with his front paws, Lu Feng looked up at the upper part of the pine tree. Sure enough, the pair of spotted woodpeckers that flew over a few days ago were vigorously pecking at a big tree branch above his head , from time to time, a little bit of sawdust drifted down, and under their constantly pecking mouths, a concave tree hole was slowly forming.

What a clever bird!

The pine tree where Lu Feng's nest is located is a big guy, with a diameter at breast height of more than two meters. It is the king of trees in this mountain forest. If you build a nest on such a big tree, you don't have to worry about the strong wind.

Moreover, the branch that the pair of woodpeckers were pecking at had been decayed from the inside by silverfish, beetle larvae and other insects, but the trunk of the big pine tree was too large, and the decayed part had no major impact for the time being.

A few days ago, when the pair of spotted woodpeckers first arrived, they pecked and knocked on the whole big pine tree. Most of the silverfish and beetle larvae on the tree were killed. The current pecking, depending on the season, is obviously building a new home. .And choosing to place the new home in the decayed part of the big pine tree can not only greatly shorten the nesting time, but also greatly reduce the workload!

"Knock knock..."

After combing his beard and hair, Lu Feng leaned forward slightly, and got half of his body into the nest. When he retracted, his two front paws were already holding a huge hazelnut.With the sharp front teeth wriggling rapidly, Lu Feng bit off the hard outer shell of the hazelnut, peeled it off with his nimble forelimbs like human hands, and gnawed on the sweet nuts inside.

This is his breakfast. As a squirrel, Lu Feng can eat three days' worth of food in one meal, and will not need to eat for the next three days.But once he was a human being, Lu Feng firmly kept the eating habit of three meals a day.

"Knock knock..."

Soon, a whole hazelnut was stuffed into Lu Feng's stomach, and he rubbed the fine red fluff on his stomach with his front paws in satisfaction. It jumped out of the small meat ball in the middle of the nest, grabbed the wrinkled bark of the big pine tree vigorously, and jumped to another branch about one meter below the nest in a few jumps.

Early morning is not the best time to go out for food.

Although it is still autumn, the night temperature in the mountains has dropped very low, and the morning dew also appeared early in this forest at a high altitude. After a night of condensation, whether it is pine cones or hazelnuts hanging on the branches, The skin of chestnuts is covered with dew, full of moist feeling.

Such fruits, even if they are picked back, cannot be preserved for too long. It is better to wait for the sun to be higher, dry the water in the fruits, and then pick them back, which is more convenient for preservation.

However, the day's plan lies in the morning, and it is equally applicable to Lu Feng, whether he is a man or a squirrel.

A gust of mountain wind howled past, and the branches and pine needles of the trees were shaking slightly.

Landing firmly on the branch, Lu Feng shifted his center of gravity, supported his body weight with his hind legs, kept his tail balanced, and stood up.After a period of adaptation, these movements unique to squirrels were finally integrated into Lu Feng's instincts, and he no longer needed to pay attention to his body's balance all the time.

Turn your head towards the trunk of the big pine tree. At the place where the branches and the trunk meet, there is a palm-sized trunk that Lu Feng stripped off the bark, revealing the smooth white wood full of wood texture, just like a [white board].And the second thing Lu Feng has to do every morning is on this [whiteboard].

Standing upright and moving a few steps closer to the [white board], Lu Feng stretched out his front paws, pinched his small flexible palms slightly, and stretched out only the paw at the position of the index finger. With a slight stroke on the [white board], a shallow With a horizontal line, a word [正] is made.

This is the way Lu Feng records his days. If you draw a stroke every day, there will be a [positive] in five days. As of today, there are already twelve [positive] on this [white board]. , plus Lu Fengchu's confused days as a squirrel, more than two months have passed.

If you start counting with the first line drawn by Lu Feng, today should be called [Squirrel Calendar] No. 60 days.

So it has been so long?

After counting a few strokes, Lu Feng felt a little emotional. Maybe it was God's favor. The previous owner of Lu Feng's body was a hardworking squirrel, and a lot of hazelnuts and pine cones were stored in the nest, which made Lu Feng survive. The initial confusion and the difficult days of being unfamiliar with the body also prevented one more squirrel from starving to death in the autumn.

After making a mark, Lu Feng leaned down and got into the side of the [white board]. It was also located in a tree hole above the branch. The hole was slightly larger than Lu Feng's current body, and it was irregularly round. stubble.

The woodpeckers are building a new home for their future babies, and Lu Feng is also building a new home for himself.

Although the former owner of the squirrel's body left Lu Feng with a comfortable nest made of withered yellow pine needles and soft grass wadding, and now Lu Feng can already rest peacefully in the swaying mountain breeze, but Lu Feng still hopes to have a safer and more stable residence. .

"Shushashasha..."

There was the sound of teeth gnawing on wood from the depths of the tree hole. After a while, Lu Feng's head emerged from the tree hole, and his front paws stretched forward alternately, pushing out a pile of fine sawdust.

Letting the sawdust fall from the air and blow away with the wind, Lu Feng retracted his head, and the rustling sound of the front teeth and the wood was heard again in the tree hole.

In this way, time passed bit by bit, and the depth of the tree hole was slowly extending. When Lufeng No.20 pushed the sawdust out of the tree hole three times, the sun finally rose above the head.

Lu Feng got out of the tree hole, shook his body, shook off the sawdust all over his body, cleaned his beard and fur again, climbed and jumped several times and returned to the nest on the upper floor, took out a big hazelnut and ate it.

The autumn is crisp, the morning moisture has dissipated, and the nuts on the tree have been dried, so it's time to go out to find something to eat.
