Chapter 15 Harvest Chestnuts

[Squirrel Calendar] No.60 Eight days, cloudy, the temperature dropped.

In the morning when Lu Feng got out of the tree hole, he could already see a slight pure white frost hanging on the branches, which was transformed from the autumn dew that condensed at night and could not withstand the low temperature.

"sneeze--!"

so cold!
Perhaps, today is Frost's Descent?
Although he was covered in fine down, Lu Feng still felt the cold and the pressure of time. According to the division of the 24 solar terms in ancient China, after the fall of frost, it was the beginning of winter, which means that winter has officially come.

The 24 solar terms divide 360 ​​and five days a year into 24 segments. From frost to beginning of winter, it takes no more than two weeks, [-] or [-] days at most.

Must act fast!
Carved gestures as usual, Lu Feng did not excavate the villa in the tree for the first time today, but chose to go out to collect food.

After two days of sunny days, the leaves and nuts in the mountains and forests tend to dry up, and the rustling sound of fruits falling from the trees and hitting the dead leaves on the ground can be heard from time to time.

And the faint frost, after the temperature warmed up at dawn, disappeared under the mountain wind very quickly.

Lu Feng's storage room already has thirty or forty hazelnuts and hundreds of pine nuts. According to Lu Feng's current food intake, it can last for more than half a month. However, among the three major grains identified by Lu Feng, Lu Feng has not visited that one chestnut tree yet. But, so today's goal is it!

Before departure, Lu Feng still needs to reconfirm the location of the chestnut tree.After all, it had been several days, and Lu Feng was worried that his memory would make a mistake when he was vaguely swaying in the treetops.

Using his limbs flexibly, Lu Feng climbed to the top of the big pine tree quickly and steadily.

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

The spotted woodpeckers are still working hard, and the depth of the tree hole has exceeded their body length. Lu Feng only saw one spotted woodpecker standing guard outside the tree hole, twisting its neck from time to time, but the other one couldn't see it, only heard the sound of the tree. From time to time, there was the sound of beaks and wood hitting in the cave.

As for the persimmon leaf platform under the woodpecker tree hole, it works well. When Lu Feng passed by, he took a look. There was a lot of [bomb foam] in the white flower inside, but there was still a long way to go. The straw rope is not rotten, and it is not a problem to use it for a whole year.

"call--!"

On a cloudy day, the mountain wind is naturally not as violent as on a sunny day, but there is still a whistling sound when it blows across the treetops, but the shaking of the treetops is a little weaker.

Climbing on the swaying treetops, Lu Feng stroked his memory and found the location of the chestnut tree again. Compared with last time, the leaves of the chestnut tree fell off more, and only clusters of fruit buds hung on the The branches are clustered like small bird's nests.

set off!

It is the same direction as going to the hazelnut forest. Lu Feng only needs to change direction before finally crossing the shale belt, which is the location of the chestnut tree.

However, when he came to the chestnut tree, Lu Feng discovered that there was a small stream flowing in the forest not far from the chestnut tree.

. . . . . .

"squeak--!"

So tight!

Lu Feng retracted and pinched the chestnut bud's front paw like lightning, and held it in front of his nose, letting the hot air from Hei Liang's nose relieve the pain on the meat ball of his front paw.

Lu Feng has seen chestnuts, eaten chestnuts, and seen chestnut trees on TV and books, so he can recognize chestnut trees among all the trees.However, he never thought that there would be so many sharp and slender thorns in the buds hidden by chestnut fruits!
What to do? What to do?
There are no fallen chestnuts on the ground!
It seems that it can only be treated the same as yesterday's pine nuts.

"Squeak~!"

After scratching his forehead for a while, Lu Feng finally realized that he didn’t have a good way. The conventional method of collecting chestnuts on TV is to use a bamboo pole to hit the branches of the chestnut tree with fruit buds, and the vibration of the branches is transmitted to the connection between the fruit buds and the branches. At the pedicle, fruit buds that are mature enough will fall off.Then, the collectors pick up the fruit buds, expose them to the sun, let them crack freely, and then take out the chestnuts.

At this moment, Lu Feng naturally cannot use this method. Fortunately, although the wood of the chestnut tree is harder than that of the pine tree, the branches with fruit buds are still relatively slender, and Lu Feng's strength can still break them.

"Crack-!"

"Crack-!"

The chestnut branches with fruit buds are much heavier than the pine branches with pine cones, and the chestnut fruits are huge, far from being comparable to pine nuts, and even compared to hazelnuts, they are a circle larger.

He just broke off four or five chestnut branches and threw them on the ground. Lu Feng stopped and climbed down the tree, ready to carry them together. He found a hard rock and hit them a few times to smash the chestnuts out of the buds.

"Shashasha~!"

The underside of the chestnut tree has long been covered by large withered and yellow chestnut leaves, each of which is nearly the size of Lu Feng's body, and every step he takes, there is a crisp sound of dead leaves breaking.

where is it?
The sky was not very clear, and the chestnut branches dropped by Lu Feng were faintly visible among the dead leaves, and it took careful searching to find them.Lu Feng squatted up, held his claws and stretched his upper body zgyp for a while before finding one. He walked forward quickly and stretched out his front paws to hug the fruit bud, but found that the fruit bud he was about to hug suddenly moved up.

Small nose, small eyes, move a little bit!

"squeak?"

Watching Guobao grow four short legs and slowly move away from his body, Lu Feng couldn't help but rubbed his eyes with his front paws, and after a closer look, he finally distinguished it.

It turned out to be a little hedgehog!

The little hedgehog and the chestnut fruit buds are both brownish-yellow and about the same size, and the short legs and mouth of the hedgehog are covered by dead leaves, so Lu Feng couldn't tell the difference at once.And beside the hedgehog's mouth that moved away, Lu Feng also saw half a chestnut that was eaten.

No wonder there are no chestnuts under the chestnut tree, they were all eaten by you!
Don't leave a little bit for this mouse!
"Squeak~squeak~squeak~squeak~"

While searching and carrying, Lu Feng gathered the chestnut buds together, and during the operation, he found several little hedgehogs among the dead leaves under the tree. In the distance in the mountains and forests, it was obviously a family.

Watching the hedgehog family leave, Lu Feng found two fist-sized flat rocks near the shale belt according to the plan, and transported the fruit buds to the edge of the rocks, and finally started the plan to push the fruit buds away.

"Boom~!"

"Boom~!"

The sound of rocks colliding with each other resounded in the mountains and forests. Lu Feng placed the fruit bud on a slightly larger flat rock, then lifted another one and smashed it down heavily. The brown and hardened fruit buds that had been exposed to the sun shattered and rolled out of it. Chestnut comes in a semicircle.

One, two, three. . .

Putting the fallen chestnuts aside, Lu Feng continued to smash the chestnuts. In the end, the chestnut buds on the five branches produced a total of nearly [-] chestnuts, which was higher than the hazelnuts and pine nuts that Lu Feng had collected.

　Thank you for your love. I didn’t expect such a strong response. This book was my idea after reading about cats. At that time, there were two themes, house mice and squirrels, and I finally chose squirrels.In addition, the girl's name was changed from Yao Lehuan to Yao Lele, which was more fluent.
