This... This is?
The reticulated leaf veins, the leaves are ovate, although they have withered and yellowed, but the state of the cluster is clearly the peanut!
This... Is?
Wrapped around the withered yellow grass stems, the thin round leaves, the curved tiny black pods, turned out to be peas!
Just as soon as he lowered his head, Lu Feng found two plants that could be used as food for squirrels within a radius of no more than half a meter, although because it was in a wild state, the growth state of both peanuts and peas was not very ideal, but it was indeed what Lu Feng had seen in the fields of his hometown in the countryside.
Finally, you don't have to go hungry!
I'm digging!
The sharp claws on the front paws popped out briskly, Lu Feng bent down and began to dig, and in the splash of soil, Lu Feng turned from a squirrel to a mole and turned into an efficient excavator.
However, while digging, every few minutes, Lu Feng would raise his head from the excavated hole and glance around vigilantly, beware of unknown threats.
The air overlord [Gray Feather] has been defeated and will not appear again for the time being, but the natural enemies of squirrels in the mountains and forests are not only goshawks, there are several other wild animals that often hunt squirrels. Weasels, feral cats, owls, snakes, and more.
Although Lu Feng hadn't seen these creatures in the months of rebirth and other months, this didn't mean that they didn't exist, Lu Feng's territory was only a small piece compared to the entire mountain forest, and it was not representative at all.
"Rustle rustle~"
The soil of the sea of grass in the mountains is different from the soil under the trees in the mountains and forests in the territory of Lufeng, it is not so black and bright, and it contains more gravel, which also causes the soil of the sea of grass to have better air permeability and poor water storage, which is convenient for the growth of peanuts and also convenient for Lufeng's excavation at the moment.
"Rustle~!"
Soon, a piece of fine sand piled up behind Lu Feng, and section by section of fallen peanuts also revealed their true bodies from under the soil.
"Click~!"
Digging out a piece of peanut from the soil, Lu Feng held it with his front paws to wipe off most of the sand on the dead leaves, and then put it on the ground and pressed it hard, and immediately the peanut shell made a crisp sound and cracked a thin slit. Lu Feng patted off the sand on his front paws, stretched his paws into this thin slit, and with a slight force, the peanuts easily split in half, and several fat men in red jumped out of their shells and landed on the grass.
"Crunch crunch~!"
Yes, it's delicious!
Picking up one, stripping off the red clothes, and stuffing it into his mouth, Lu Feng quickly squirmed his mouth with satisfaction.
Perhaps it is hidden in the soil, the peanuts are not completely dry, and there is a lot of water, and the peanut kernels are not crunchy when bitten, but the feeling of softness and oil and gas is also quite good.
Stuffing a few peanut kernels into his mouth, Lu Feng continued to dig while chewing, the varieties of this clump of peanuts are quite good, and the peanuts dug out are all extremely full, basically in three or four sections, and a few have reached five sections.
However, Lu Feng couldn't stuff the sandy peanuts into his cheek pouch and bring them back, so after digging up about three days' worth of food, Lu Feng stopped and buried the sand back.
Make a note of the location first!
When the body returns to normal, the rat will dig again!
While remembering the location of the fallen peanuts in his mind, Lu Feng opened the excavated fallen peanuts and filled them into his stomach, and then turned his gaze to the peas that were climbing on the thick grass stalks.
As a winding herb, the pea's delicate stalks cannot stand upright on their own, so they can only climb on the stalks of other plants, producing butterfly-like white or purplish-red flowers, which are long and flattened like a boat.
After the skin of the pod dries to a certain extent, it will explode, popping the peas out a certain distance. This is the natural selection of plants after countless years of reproduction and evolution, just like the fluff of a dandelion and the wings of an elm tree.
"Smack——!
"Smack——!
At this moment, after the sun exposure, there are few pods on the pea vine, most of the pods are twisted into rolls, and the bullets in them have already been shot out, and at the same time, in the breeze swaying, the pods that still stay on the vine also burst from time to time, and occasionally a burst can be heard.
One piece, one piece, another!
Lu Feng plucked the pods from the vine, peeled off the shells, and stuffed the small peas that dried inside into the cheek pouch, although they were much smaller than the peas planted, only about a few times larger than sesame seeds, but they were more than enough food for squirrels.
While being vigilant for the appearance of the enemy, while collecting this pea, Lu Feng collected all the remaining peas on the vine, filled half of the cheek pouch, and then a breeze blew with cold air, making Lu Feng come back to his senses in the slight trembling of his fur.
Next, it's time to find a place to escape the cold at night.
Gently twisting and kicking the hind leg of [Gray Feather], Lu Feng felt much better, although he still couldn't run, but there was another night of recuperation, it should be about the same.
Thinking like this, Lu Feng began to find a rabbit path in the sea of grass.
With the experience of the last time, Lu Feng knew that if he wanted to spend the night in this sea of grass, he could only find a hare nest, these nests are located deep underground, in addition to the safety and structure are not as good as the villa in the tree excavated by Lu Feng, in terms of temperature regulation, it is even better, it can be said that it is warm in winter and cool in summer.
And luck seems to have returned to Lu Feng's body after [Gray Feather] was driven away, and the rabbit path that could not be found at first only moved a few steps, and then appeared in front of Lu Feng's eyes.
go!go!go!
Moving briskly along the rabbit road, Lu Feng soon found a cave that was shaded by a clump of extraordinarily lush long grass, which seemed somewhat familiar, and then, a cold wind swept by, Lu Feng looked up at the sky, and the sun had already walked a long way to the west.
It's cold!
Hurry up and get into the hole!
Without further hesitation, Lu Feng pushed aside the long grass, burrowed into the cave, and walked along the long road to the bottom of the cave, in the hare's bedroom.
I don't know if I haven't come back yet, or if this nest has been abandoned, there is no trace of a hare in the nest at the moment, Lu Feng tidied up the rabbit down and grass wool in the nest a little, moved the clean part into a ball, and pulled it into the shape of a bird's nest, and then got into it.
"Squeak~~~~!"
Let out a lazy chirp, Lu Feng stretched his waist, today's incident was too exciting, so that Lu Feng's energy consumption was extraordinarily huge, although the sky outside was not dark, but Lu Feng was already out of energy, he clumped his body into a ball, his long hair and fluffy tail covered his body like a quilt, and his front paws held his head and fell asleep.
"Si Xi Suo~!"
And after Lu Feng fell asleep, from the other side of the corridor, a gray-white triangular mouth was still squirming and gnawing on grass blades, and he looked at Lu Feng with blood red eyes with interest for a while, and then he formed a ball on Lu Feng's side and closed his eyes.
