On the sixty-eighth day of the squirrel calendar, it was cloudy and the temperature dropped.

In the morning, Lu Feng drilled out of the tree hole, and he could already see a slightly pure white frost hanging on the branches, which was transformed by the autumn dew condensed at night and unable to withstand the low temperature.

"Sneezing β€”β€”!"

It's so cold!

Perhaps, it's frost today, right?

Although covered with fine fluff, Lu Feng still felt a cold, and at the same time felt the pressure of time, according to the division of the twenty-four solar terms in ancient China, after the frost fell, it was the beginning of winter, indicating that winter had officially arrived.

The 24 solar terms divide the 365 days of the year into 24 segments, from the frost to the beginning of winter, at most only two weeks, 14 or 5 days.

It's time to move fast!

As usual, Lu Feng did not excavate the villa in the tree today, but chose to go out to collect food.

After two days of fine weather, the leaves and nuts in the mountains and forests tend to dry out, and from time to time you can hear the rustle of fruits falling from the trees and hitting the dead leaves on the ground.

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

There are already thirty or forty hazelnuts and hundreds of pine nuts in Lu Feng's storage room, according to Lu Feng's current appetite, it can last for more than half a month, but among the three major grains identified by Lu Feng, that chestnut tree Lu Feng has not visited yet, so today's goal is it!

Before leaving, Lu Feng also needed to reconfirm the location of the chestnut tree. After all, it had been several days, and it was blurry in the shaking of the treetops, and Lu Feng was worried that his memory would go wrong.

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

"Tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk...

The spotted woodpeckers were still working hard, the depth of the tree hole had exceeded their length, Lu Feng only saw one spotted woodpecker standing guard outside the tree hole, twisting its neck from time to time, while the other one couldn't see it, only heard the sound of sharp beaks and wood hitting from time to time in the tree hole.

As for the persimmon leaf platform under the woodpecker tree hole, it is working well, Lu Feng glanced at it when he passed by, and a piece of white flowers in it has accumulated a lot of [bomb foam], but there is still a considerable distance from the pile, as long as the grass rope is not rotten, it will not be a problem to use it for a whole year.

"Hoo β€”β€”!"

On a cloudy day, the mountain wind was not as strong as a sunny day, but it still whistled when it swept over the canopy, but it shook the treetops a little harder.

Climbing on the shaking treetops, Lu Feng brushed his memory for a while, and once again found the location of the chestnut tree in his field of vision, compared to last time, the leaves of the chestnut tree fell off more, only clumps of fruit buds hung on the branches, clusters like small birds' nests.

Let's go!

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

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

。。。。。。

"Squeakβ€”β€”!

It's so piercing!

Lu Feng retracted his front paws pinched into the chestnut buds like lightning and held them in front of his nose, allowing the hot air from the black and bright nose to relieve the pain on the meat balls of the front paws.

Lu Feng has seen chestnuts, eaten chestnuts, and also seen the appearance of chestnut trees on TV and books, so he can recognize chestnut trees among the crowd. However, he never imagined that the buds where the chestnut fruit was hiding would have so many sharp and slender spikes!

What to do, what to do?

There are no chestnuts on the ground!

It seems that it can only be disposed of in the same way as yesterday's pine nuts.

"Squeak~!"

After scratching his head for a while, Lu Feng finally found that he didn't have a very good way, the usual way to collect chestnuts on TV is to use a bamboo pole to beat the branches of chestnut trees with fruit buds, and through the vibration of the branches, the connecting pedicles between the fruit buds and the branches are transmitted to the bud and the branch, and the fruit bud will fall down if it is ripe enough. Then, the collector picks up the buds, puts them in the sun, allows them to crack freely, and then takes out the chestnuts inside.

At this moment, Lu Feng naturally couldn't use such a method, fortunately, although the wood of the chestnut tree was harder than that of the pine tree, the branches with fruit buds were still relatively slender, and Lu Feng's strength could still break it.

"Clickβ€”β€”!"

"Clickβ€”β€”!"

The branches of chestnut trees with fruit buds are much heavier than those with pine towers, and the fruit of chestnuts is very large, far from being comparable to pine nuts, even compared to hazelnuts, they are larger.

Just broke four or five chestnut branches and threw them to the ground, Lu Feng stopped his actions and climbed down the tree, ready to carry them together, find a hard mountain rock and smash it a few times, and smash the chestnuts out of the fruit buds.

"Rustle~!"

The chestnut tree has long been covered by wide and withered yellow chestnut leaves, each one is close to the size of Lu Feng's body, and every step of the way, there is a crisp sound of dead leaves breaking.

Where is it?

The sky was not very transparent, and the chestnut branches thrown by Lu Feng were looming among the dead leaves, and they needed to be carefully searched to find them. Lu Feng squatted up, stretched his upper body with his paws and looked for a while before finding one, he walked forward quickly, stretched out his front paws and wanted to pick up the fruit bud, but found that the fruit bud that was about to be held suddenly moved.

Small nose, small eyes, move a few times!

"Squeak?"

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

It turned out to be a little hedgehog!

The little hedgehog and chestnut buds are both brown and yellow, and the size is almost the same, and the dead leaves cover the short legs and mouth of the hedgehog, which makes Lu Feng suddenly unable to distinguish them. And next to the hedgehog's mouth that was removed, Lu Feng also saw half of the chestnut that had been 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 rat!

"Squeak~squeak~squeak~squeak~"

While searching and carrying, Lu Feng packed up the chestnut buds, and during the operation, he found several small hedgehogs among the dead leaves under the tree, and these hedgehogs moved a few times and gathered together, slowly crawling towards the distance of the mountain forest, obviously a family.

Seeing the hedgehog family leave, Lu Feng found two fist-sized flat rocks near the shale belt according to his plan, and transported the fruit buds to the edge of the rocks, and finally began to unravel the fruit buds.

"Knock~!"

"Knock~!"

There was a sound of rocks crashing against each other in the mountains and forests, Lu Feng put the fruit bud on a slightly larger flat rock, and then lifted another piece and smashed it down, and the fruit bud that had been hardened by the sun shattered in response to the sound, rolling out of the semicircular chestnut.

One, two, three...

Stacking the fallen chestnuts aside, Lu Feng continued to smash the chestnuts, and finally the chestnut buds on the five branches produced a total of nearly thirty chestnuts, which were more productive than the hazelnuts and pine nuts that Lu Feng had collected.
