Chapter Twenty-Four: The Squirrel Wars

"Maomao, hurry up!" the fat man sat against an old pine tree, stuffed a mountain grape into his mouth, and then raised his head to give orders to the hairy monkey on the big tree.

Maomao's mouth squeaked and protested, but his hands were really not ambiguous, his hands and feet were used together, and he kicked and kicked, and the fist-sized pine tower crackled and fell down.

There are two baskets side by side under the tree, and the pine tower falls directly into it, and the one that falls to the ground is in charge of the little Lori. The two young generals were busy, and the fat man just moved his mouth: he commanded with his mouth and ate with his mouth.

When he saw that the basket was full, the fat man poured it into the wooden box, and even if he lay down the hair, the box could not be filled.

A few little squirrels gathered around the surrounding trees, and they were dumbfounded when they saw someone grabbing food from them, and the efficiency was extremely high.

Suddenly, Maomao threw a few pine towers over, and the squirrels immediately scattered, and Maomao must have been very angry in his heart: "It's all up to the monkeys!"

Pine nuts are definitely a good thing when they are brought to the city, delicious and nourishing. It's just that it's not easy to collect, most of the time it's children who poke down with long bamboo poles, and they don't dare to find too tall trees, they can't reach them, that is, they get some to eat at home.

If you have to wait until the pine tower falls naturally, the pine nuts have already cracked, so you can only pick the pine tower to burn the stove, and you want to get the pine nuts.

It should also be good luck for the fat man, but he got the little guy Maomao, who usually looks annoying, and finally plays his specialty today, and the fat man looks at it a lot, and considers going back to reward it with something delicious.

It wasn't until the sun went down that the fat man was satisfied, and in order to hide people's eyes, two baskets were filled with pine towers, and one arm collapsed the other.

Mao Mao was so tired that the aisle was a little shaky, and the fat man couldn't bear it, so he asked him to squat on his broad shoulder, and then handed over a candy ball.

When I returned to the village, most of the families had just finished work, and when I saw the fat man collecting two large baskets of pine towers, I was envious, and my eyes were different from the sky.

The fat man praised Maomao without hesitation, and he still expects others to contribute tomorrow, anyway, it doesn't cost money to praise two sentences.

When he went to bed at night, Mao Mao, who was proud of his hard work, seized the feng shui treasure of the kang head, but was unceremoniously thrown to the kang tip by the fat man.

Mao Mao was tired all afternoon, and he didn't care, and soon fell asleep, and he didn't even feel the kitten pulling its tail, what a good comrade.

Early the next morning, the trio of pine nuts continued to go up the mountain, and Qiqi and Maomao ate a few wild fruits first, and then began to work under the supervision of the fat man.

The fat man sat under the tree and smoked, looking at the berries in the forest, and the fat man suddenly had some ideas. I remember going to a farm in those days and drinking home-made wine, which tasted good.

However, there is no big vat at home for the time being, so I can't go to the commune another day, buy a few mouthfuls at the supply and marketing cooperative, and use pickled cabbage in a few days.

I was thinking about it, when I heard that there was chaos on the tree, and I hurriedly looked up, good guy, dozens of squirrels gathered over and were denouncing Mao Mao.

There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are kings, how can Mao Mao put the little squirrel in his eyes. It jumped up and down, chasing squirrels all over the trees.

However, the squirrel has taken the tree as its home all his life, and his skills are more exquisite, and the big tail is wagging up, making the hairy and dazzling, and rushing left and right, and he can't help these little men.

The fat man was also secretly surprised, saying that the squirrel was timid, and his territorial consciousness was quite strong. It is estimated that he can't get used to seeing Maomao and them grabbing food, so he came to make trouble.

Qiqi watched the excitement below, and the little slap was red: "Come on, Maomao, run quickly, don't get caught." "Well, she's not biased.

The fat man can't help it if he makes such a fuss, and he will delay the business. So he hurriedly asked Qiqi to give orders to Maomao.

Mao Mao had just been picked for a short while, and the squirrel came to make trouble again. Comrade Mao Mao's temperament is not too stable, and he is entangled with squirrels.

Unexpectedly, the great cause of gathering would be destroyed by the little squirrel, and the fat man was also a little anxious, so he found two clods of soil and threw them. But the tree was too tall and the squirrel was nimble, so it didn't help.

The fat man was really annoyed: "If I make any more trouble, I'll go back and get the foreign cannon!"

"I want a gun, I have it. Kiki played a trick and escaped with a gun from his pocket.

The fat man saw that it was a pyrotechnic gun. A thick wire is bent into a gun handle, and a bicycle chain is worn in front of it, and a bullet case is inserted on the front. When firing, light the white phosphorus in front of the match head on the back of the bullet case, and fill the bullet case with a little fire.

Even though it's a child's thing, the fat man thinks he can give it a try. First ordered Qiqi to call the hairy monkey down and hug it aside. Then put on the match head, pull the big bolt, carry it with a rubber band, pull the trigger, and snap with a crisp sound.

The woods were silent, and the trees were still ringing, so the sound of gunfire became more and more crisp.

Whoosh, and the squirrel in the tree immediately ran away without a trace. The fat man waved vigorously with a pyrotechnic gun: "Keep working." That feeling is a bit like the captain of the martial arts team pulling out the box cannon and shouting "rush".

At the end of the day, the harvest was not small, and those squirrels never dared to make trouble again. The fat man also picked a lot of berries, mainly mountain grapes, anyway, there is a place to load.

And through the observation of this paragraph, the fat man also found that the insurance effect of the wooden box is indeed ideal, the wild boar has been put in it for more than a month, and it has not deteriorated at all, and the fat man has secretly eaten several meals with Qiqi.

Because of this, the wooden box has also become the fat man's storeroom, and the fat man has left some fresh fruits down. This place has a long winter, long nights, and the weather is cold, if you eat some fresh fruit, it will be repaid. If you don't worry about revealing the stuffing, the fat man is ready to store more and save it for the winter before selling.

For three days in a row, the focus of the work was on picking pine towers and wild fruits, and the fat man's physique was super strong, and he was not tired at all.

It's just that the main labor hairy monkey is a little unbearable, and the aisle pulls the crotch straight, and lies on the kang for a night.

The sun was setting again, and the fat man carried the hairy monkey to lead Qiqi home, and saw the chimney on the roof of his house smoking from a distance, and Qiqi cheered: "Sister Xiaoyu is back!"

"How can it, just went back for three days, it must be your Grandma Li. Although the fat man also has a trace of fantasy, he knows that it is not very realistic.

Entering the courtyard, the fat man brought the pine tower out, and Qiqi had already entered the house, and then the fat man heard the little guy chirping: "Sister Xiaoyu, it's really you!"

The fat man skimmed the basket and followed him into the house, only to see the big pigtails standing in front of him prettyly, looking at each other, feeling affectionate.

"I'm back so early, the second old man is in good health?" The fat man was the first to break the silence, and he was also a little puzzled, it seemed that the farm vacation was half a month.

With a sweep of his eyes, the fat man finally found that there was another girl in the house, big and tall, with two small short braids, long bangs, a pair of eyes that were particularly flexible, a little upturned nose, looking very playful, wearing a dress, looking slim, and looking a little familiar.
