rebirth squirrel battle

Chapter 2 Hazelnuts
The big pine tree grows at the highest point of the entire forest. Not far to the east is a cliff, with large rocks exposed. Only sparse moss and dogtail grass grow between the cracks of the rocks. As for the other three directions, there are species of A variety of lush trees, as well as various small creatures attached to these trees, and even a clear stream gurgling through the forest.

If you apply a modern written language, this is a natural oxygen bar full of biodiversity.

Like a flash of gray-red lightning, Lu Feng jumped among the luxuriant forests, heading towards the south of the big pine tree, the destination of this trip.

"Chacha, chacha..."

Vigorously pressing down the pine branch below him, with the help of the rebound force of the branch, Lu Feng's limbs exerted strength, and landed on the branch of the persimmon tree opposite in a graceful curve, startling a group of chirping sparrows that were pecking at the persimmon .These small birds, which were classified as one of the four pests in the middle of the last century, have now been rehabilitated and included in the national second-class protected animal catalog.

A sweet scent of persimmons wafted from the peel of the sparrows, lingering around Lu Feng's nose, causing Lu Feng to slow down his progress, but soon began to move again, quickly climbing to the other end of the persimmon tree connected to other trees. branches.

Lu Feng has a good plan in his work, and at the same time, he hates making temporary changes.

Although it is the best time to eat persimmons now, and Lu Feng hasn't eaten persimmons for a long time, but in Lu Feng's plan, his goal today is hazelnuts.

It's autumn now, and winter is just around the corner.

Lu Feng didn't know when winter would come, but he had to stock up enough food for the winter before it came.Some time ago, the adaptation period to the squirrel's body consumed most of Lu Feng's small food reserves, which increased Lu Feng's workload even more.

And hazelnuts, which are big nuts for squirrels, are one of Lufeng's first choices for storing food in winter.

With the help of the elasticity of the branches, Lu Feng took off again and landed on the trees in front of him. Behind him, the chirping sparrows gathered and landed on the persimmon tree again, continuing to enjoy their delicious meal.

I don't know how many big trees he jumped over, and Lu Feng suddenly opened up in front of him, and a slender blue-gray shale several hundred meters long appeared in front of him, dividing the forest into two sections.

On the other side of the blue-gray shale, there is a small forest and a large open grassland. Due to the season, the grassland has turned yellow, and there are waves of grass in the autumn wind.

This is the edge of Lu Feng's territory. In Lu Feng's original memory, the grove opposite was a small piece of hazelnut forest, and the hazelnuts he ate these days came from there.

Climbing on the tree trunk, Lu Feng raised his head slightly, staring at the slender blue-gray shale belt with a dignified expression.

Gathering hazelnuts requires traversing this strip of lichen-covered red/naked shale.Although the width of the shale belt is only more than ten meters, for a squirrel, running away from the cover of trees and running on the unobstructed, open and flat rocks is an adventure in itself.

"Howl!"

Sure enough, [Grey Feather] appeared!

Lu Feng looked up at the sky, although the sun was dazzling, but squinting his eyes, he could see a gray and black dot hovering over the forest in the sun, looming.

It was a goshawk with gray-black speckled flight feathers and a sharp beak. It was the only overlord in the sky in this mountain forest!
For the small animals in this forest, [Grey Feather] is the absolute natural enemy, Lu Feng saw it falling from the sky more than once, hunting down hares and pheasants.That swift speed and hooked claws made Lu Feng have nightmares of being hunted down for several days.

It seems that we can't pick hazelnuts today!

"Squeak~~~!"

Scratching the short hair on his forehead with his front paws, Lu Feng let out a long sigh. He really wanted to follow the plan, and getting out of the plan made him a little annoyed, but compared to Xiaoming, all plans are scum.

"Howl!"

However, plans can never keep up with changes.

When Lu Feng was mentally prepared and was about to go home and taste the sweet persimmons, [Grey Feather] suddenly let out another sharp and clear eagle cry, shooting down like an arrow from midair, and within a few seconds Flopped and disappeared in the long grass in the distance.

Centering on the place where [Grey Feather] fell, the thick and long grass stalks immediately vibrated with messy ripples, breaking up the grass waves brought by the autumn wind. Out of the grass waves, under its claws, a fat hare hangs limply, dripping thick blood.

opportunity!

Shooting down from the tree, Lu Feng's limbs twitched rapidly, like a gray-red lightning passing through the gray sky, within a few breaths, he had rushed into the opposite hazelnut forest, hidden under the protection of branches and leaves.

At the same time, there were several gray-red lightning bolts that shot out from the woods together with Lu Feng. Although they were not as fast as Lu Feng, they also rushed safely into the opposite hazelnut forest.

A beast that has hunted its prey will not hunt again until it feels hungry.

As with lions, so with eagles.

The hare, with its own life and body, created a short period of peaceful life for other small animals, and at the same time created a chance for the squirrels to taste delicious hazelnuts.

"Shushasha..."

"Knock knock..."

The hazelnut tree is a small deciduous tree belonging to the birch family. At this moment, although half of the withered and yellow leaves are still growing on the branches, there are already jagged and fan-shaped dead leaves under the tree, which make a rustling sound when stepped on.

Falling with the dead leaves are hazelnuts, these plump, top-like delicacy, some falling off the painter's hat-like stalks, some falling with the stalks together.

The hungry squirrels rushing into the hazelnut forest together with Lu Feng vigorously turned over the dead leaves on the ground in search of delicious fruits. When the squirrels found the hazelnuts, they immediately picked them up and gnawed them fiercely with their front teeth. The sound of squirrels eating resounded all over the place.

What a bunch of bastards!
While rolling his eyes, Lu Feng also turned over the dead leaves around his body, looking for hazelnuts.Compared with the hazelnuts that still remain on the branches, Lu Feng prefers the hazelnuts that fall off the ground naturally. These hazelnuts are larger, more mature, and the kernels inside are more plump.

One, two, three, four!

Lu Feng's cheek pouches gradually bulged, filled with hazelnuts.

In the wonderful biological evolution, rodent squirrels, hamsters and other animals have evolved a special pouch-like structure called cheek pouch on both sides of the mouth.

When these creatures find delicious food, they will temporarily store it here, and then take it out of the cheek pouch when they reach a safe place, and eat it carefully.

Five, six, seven, eight, nine!

At this moment, Lu Feng used the cheek pouch as a transport bag, and the membrane of the cheek pouch was stretched to the limit and bulged into two balls.

With difficulty, he stuffed the ninth hazelnut into his cheek pouch, and reckoned that he could put another one in. Lu Feng raised his nose slightly to probe, and there was a sweet smell of nuts. There seemed to be a hazelnut hidden under the dead leaves in front of him. .

After walking a few steps quickly, Lu Feng raised his front paws and pushed aside the dead leaves. As expected, a plump fruit that was bigger than the hazelnut that Lu Feng stuffed into his cheek pouch before was lying quietly on the ground.
