On the seventy-sixth day of the squirrel calendar, it was cloudy and overcast.
The creek to the west of Lufeng's territory was still looming among the rocks and dead leaves, and the rocks suddenly became a depression, and the gurgling stream converged into a shallow pond, and after a while, it continued to travel into the distance.
"Squeak~!"
With a hiss, Lu Feng rushed down from the canopy, climbed down the thick trunk of the tree beside the stream, came to the quiet and shallow pond, and squatted up.
The reflection of Lu Feng's figure and the mottled sky above reflected on the surface of the water, and from time to time small insects the size of rice grains landed on the water surface, and flew away quickly, rippling small ripples in circles.
Lu Feng sat quietly by the stream, looking at the calm stream in front of him with big black eyes, motionless, motionless.
Yesterday's return from the journey to explore the hive made Lu Feng understand two things, one is that his body is too slender and fragile, and he can't exert the effect of human strength at all, in order to improve his ability to survive in the mountains and forests, Lu Feng urgently needs to exercise a strong body.
And the second thing is that Lu Feng has discovered a shortcoming of his own, that is, his aversion and fear of water! This is also the reason why Lu Feng is now standing by the small pond.
After squatting for a long time, Lu Feng finally moved slowly.
He got up sideways, stretched out his hind legs, and slowly moved forward, little by little, approaching the shallow pool of less than a centimeter in front of him, wanting to touch the surface of the water, but the moment he approached the surface, he suddenly retracted sharply!
"Squeak——!
Damn it!
Instinct surpasses will!
Is it really a terrible aversion to water?
Lu Feng's big eyes narrowed, and he just squatted on the edge of the pond, looking at the water, Lu Feng felt a burst of disgust from the depths of his memory and body, urging him to stay away from this pool.
Lu Feng overcame this disgust with a firm will, but when he controlled his body, stretched out his hind legs, and wanted to touch the water, the disgust in his body and in the depths of his memory suddenly increased several times, making his will unable to control his body at once, and he retracted his hind legs like an electric shock.
"Squeak~!"
Go on!
Squinting his eyes slightly, after Lu Feng re-brewed, he stretched out his hind legs again and touched the water, but that feeling of disgust came as promised, and pulled Lu Feng's hind legs back!
"Squeak~!"
Ben Rat still doesn't believe it!
Go on!
Time was passing little by little, and Lu Feng's attempts to reach out his hind legs to touch the water were controlled by his body again and again, but he persevered in stretching his legs, trying hard to achieve his goal!
"Squeak!"
On the canopy that Lu Feng didn't pay attention to, Scarface's head looked at Lu Feng from the gap in the leaves, and she watched curiously as Lu Feng tried again and again, failing again and again.
This is her territory, in the past, Lu Feng entered, if he met her, there would definitely be a fierce battle, but now, Scarface just quietly followed Lu Feng and watched quietly.
"Squeak!"
Twenty-third!
Lu Feng's big eyes had completely narrowed into a slit, and his hind legs felt slightly numb while squatting, but he still trembled and stretched out his hind legs, touching the shallow pond that rippled slightly in front of him.
Retracted!
Catch!
The body instinct reacted immediately, Lu Feng's hind legs suddenly bent and wanted to retract from the water, but Lu Feng's claws had been waiting for a long time, and the numbness of the hind legs slowed down the retraction by a beat, and he was immediately grabbed by Lu Feng's front paws!
Press!
"Whoa~!"
The sound of the clear water splashed along with the shallow splash, scattering Lu Feng's whole body, but Lu Feng hissed happily.
"Squeak——! Squeak——! Squeak——! “
yes!
Ben Rat did it!
Ben Rat has finally overcome his hydrophobia!
Jump and rub! Jump and rub! Jump and rub!
The elated Lu Feng kept jumping in the shallow pond, and when he didn't pay attention to it, he jumped out of the rhythm of three beats.
。。。。。。
Naturally, the hydrophobia is not so easy to overcome, but Lu Feng, who seized the opportunity, finally succeeded in taking the first step, and then, he only needed to continue to get close to the creek and gradually move downstream, so that the water he faced became wider and more turbulent, so that he could naturally grind away the fear in his heart little by little, and finally stopped being afraid of the stream at all.
The stream after the autumn breeze is no longer suitable for playing in the water, and the decrease in temperature will make it easier for the stream to take away the body's heat, causing the body temperature to be too low and cause discomfort.
However, after Lu Feng frolicked in the shallow pond for a while, he found that he did not feel cold, and even felt a trace of warmth.
"Squeak!"
How is it not cold?
Don't... Is it a hot spring!?
Dipping his front paws into the water and feeling it carefully, Lu Feng was immediately a little pleased, because the temperature of the stream was only slightly lower than his own body temperature.
"Squeak!"
go!
Let's go in search of hot springs!
Crawling out of the small pond, Lu Feng shook his body violently and shook off the splash, but the squirrel is different from the otter that lives in the water, there is no oily substance on the fur, and it is also different from the polar bear, etc., with several layers of dense fluff, which naturally soaks the hair.
However, Lu Feng didn't care about so much, and immediately set off with great interest!
Strictly speaking, natural water that gushes out of the ground and is warmer than the local surface temperature can be called a hot spring, but traditionally, only natural springs with a temperature of more than 40 degrees Celsius can be called a hot spring.
In the hot spring water, it is full of chloride ions, carbonate ions, and sulfate ions, which has a good effect on relaxing the body and treating wounds, which is why modern people gradually take hot springs as a way of life for leisure and health, decompression and relaxation, and began to spread all over the world.
Naturally, the source of the creek that Lu Feng is tracking at the moment can only be a natural spring-type hot spring, the body temperature of the squirrel is generally thirty-seven degrees, which is basically the same as the body temperature of humans, and the water flow at the source of the creek is still only slightly lower than Lu Feng's body temperature, which can only show that either the hot spring source of the creek is nearby, or the hot spring temperature at the source of the creek is quite high!
"Squeak!"
Got it!
Following the stream, Lu Feng did not go up the tree, but crawled briskly all the way, and soon saw curling white smoke coming out of front of him. It is a white mist formed by the hot spring's heat-containing water vapor condensing into the cold autumn mountain wind.
After crawling some distance, Lu Feng finally saw the full picture of the source of the stream.
A one-meter-square, rocky pit like a boiling farmhouse stove is constantly spewing hot liquid upwards!
Within nearly 10 meters of this pothole, there are no trees growing, only shallow aquatic weeds, covered in soft soil, still verdant and flourishing in the cold autumn wind.
