Chapter 4 Twin-tailed Squirrel

Simon returned to the place where he was resting, only the fire was burning quietly, and Ansu had not yet returned. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He put the pine branch he was holding in his arms on the ground, ready to look for it. Before he had taken a few steps, he saw An Su turn from the other side of the col with a vine rolled in a circle in his hand.

Simon slapped his head sharply, hey, he forgot about collecting vines!

"Captain, I forgot to chop some vines and came back." Simon scratched his cheek embarrassedly, "I'm going to cut it now." ”

"No, that's enough." Ansu put the net bag in his hand next to the pile of coconut fruits, and of course saw the pine branches on the ground.

"Cedar?" Ansu touched its leaves, which were hard and had a palm-like cuticle, and seemed to glow faintly with silver. It's just a tree that bears a lot of resemblance to a cedar, but Ansu is willing to call it a cedar. It has the shadow of its hometown on its body.

"Yes, in the forest where we found the monkeys." Simon held out his finger and pointed, "I also saw a two-tailed squirrel." ”

Since the animals gather here, it means that there are more resources here than in other places. It's worth digging deeper.

"We'll camp here tonight and explore tomorrow." "You go and cut down some branches that are densely foliage, and we'll build shelters." ”

"Yes!"

"If you forget, you sleep on the stone tonight."

……

The captain is so ruthless!

When Simon left to cut the branches, Ansu was not idle, and she had to collect enough dead branches to support the fire for the whole night. In addition, most of the forests are full of living trees, so it takes a lot of effort to find dry firewood.

It is the easiest and quickest way to build a single-sloped shed, and sometimes it can be built with just a piece of wood and a piece of rock as a support. If it is the season when there is little rain on the polar day, it is possible to build shelter in the wilderness, but on the eve of the polar night, the rain appears more frequently than usual, and the mountain wind is bleak, so it is good to block the wind.

Ansu has a lot of experience in building this kind of shed. She stuck two pieces of chopped sticks vertically into the ground, and tied a crossbar to them with rattan skin. As long as the branches are arranged diagonally on the crossbar, a simple single-sloped shed is complete. Then light a fire in front of the shed, and you won't have to worry about the cold all night long.

The surrounding mountains and forests gradually disappeared into darkness, and the sharp sound of the cold wind howling in the forest became clearer and clearer. The temperature dropped again and again, and the surroundings were surrounded by an invisible chill.

Ansu flipped over the bacon that was roasting on the fire and roasted it on the other side. The bacon is coated with berries, and although the whole bacon becomes as black as coals, you can smell the sweetness.

Ansu sometimes looked at the fire, sometimes looked at the dark mountain forest, frowned, Simon has not come back yet, is he lost?

Just as he was thinking, the sound of familiar footsteps came from the darkness, and Simon appeared carrying a large bundle of pine branches, he looked a little embarrassed, his hair was unkempt, and there were a few small scratches on his face.

Simon put down a large bundle of pine branches, sat on the ground and gasped for a few breaths, and then said to Ansu: "Captain, the animals here are too fierce! ”

"Met a tiger?"

"No, it's not." Simon scratched at his messy hair, glanced at Ansu, and said, "That's it, those squirrels." ”

"Squirrel?" An Su raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"They're no ordinary squirrels, Nima is so vicious! It's a thief again! Pulling the scratch on his face, Simon couldn't help but hiss. It's so fast, and it's going to hit people with pine cones! Simon went on to confide in the twin-tailed squirrel's crimes.

"You cut down the whole cedar?" Ansu looked at the large pile of pine branches. No wonder those squirrels get angry.

"No, there's a cedar there, and I'm just cutting some of each one, and who knows if a big flock will pop up." Simon exclaimed.

An Su smiled helplessly, she had the ability to make her generals crazy, she wanted to see with her own eyes the violent, murderous and cunning squirrel in Simon's mouth.

"Build the roof first." Ansu picked up a pine branch and threw it to Simon, "Or sleep on the stone tonight." ”

The ground was too cold to lie on it, so Ansu spread a layer of pine branches and fallen leaves on the ground to isolate it from the ground. The leaves of the cedar are like needles, and you will sleep more comfortably by spreading a layer of fallen leaves.

After making the bed, the two began to eat dinner.

"Captain, are you sure this isn't charred firewood?" Simon poked the black strands of black things that lay on the pine branches with his saber.

"It's just a little berry on it." An Su glanced at him, "Eat quickly." ”

Under the pressure of Ansu's eyes, Simon cut off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and suddenly his eyes lit up and cut another piece.

An Su hooked the corners of her mouth and enjoyed her share with peace of mind.

Early the next morning, a layer of fog filled the mountains, and the mountains in the distance were faint. Fortunately, a shed was built last night, and pine branches were put on the ground, otherwise my body would have been wet overnight.

The fire was still burning tenaciously, but the two long logs in a V-shape next to the fire were almost half burned. Considering that it is cold and windy here, Ansu added two long logs to the side of the burning fire, which not only protects the fire from being blown away by the wind, but also burns for a long time, generating a lot of heat. A long log burning corresponds to a shed, and the whole person is warm from beginning to end.

Taking a breath of the cool mountain air, the minty breath poured into his heart, and Ansu took a few deep breaths and stretched out his somewhat stiff limbs. After some warm-up exercises, I was back to my best.

The two of them ate some food, and Simon took Ansu to the cedar forest. The forest had long since awakened, and as Ansu and Simon walked, they occasionally saw monkeys flickering through the treetops. The thudding sound rang out again.

"This is it." Simon stopped.

Ansu glanced at it, and there were towering cedars everywhere, not densely distributed, but there were quite a few of them.

As soon as Ansu walked in, he found himself locked in. Under the dark green pine branches, a pair of round eyes were staring at her closely. Ansu could feel the gaze that seemed to have a substance on his body.

Shout--

As soon as the branches moved, a fist-sized pine cone smashed towards An Su's head. Ansu turned his head sideways and quickly locked his eyes on the perpetrator, a two-tailed squirrel. It was at least three times the size of a regular squirrel, and was baring its teeth at Ansule from its branches, apparently warning Ansule not to set foot in its territory.

The squirrels Ansu had seen before were relatively timid, but here they are good, they are fat, and they know how to threaten others. (To be continued.) )
