At noon, the sky was bright, the temperature rose quickly, the humidity in the air was getting bigger and bigger, and Ding Qi, who had been walking down the hillside for more than an hour, was already soaking wet. If it weren't for the gray-black layer of smoke in the sky that obscured the sun, the temperature would have been even higher now. Ding Qi had already surveyed a large area of the surrounding hillside, but he didn't find the existence of limestone, not to mention the little Jiujiu hidden in Ding Qi's heart, who wanted to find copper ore or iron ore at the same time, Mao didn't see a single one.

According to the knowledge received, including seeing with my own eyes the crushed limestone used as a concrete filler when building houses in the countryside, limestone should be easy to find, but it is really uncomfortable to look around and find no useful information. Seeing that he was hungry and thirsty, he had to stop and find a shady place to drink water and rest.

It was a mountain platform with stones of various sizes scattered around, with only one taller tree and a few shrubs and vines growing in a jumble of others. Tinch is hungry, and the cutie is even hungrier. He quickly found a dozen stones and formed a circle under the tree, put some collected firewood and grass in them, lit the bonfire with a liquid lighter, put water and five sun-dried dandelions in the hanging pot to boil tea and drink, and then took out a piece of saber-toothed tiger meat and inserted it into a wooden stick to heat, and the little cute food was goat's milk stored in a mineral water bottle.

A lunch took nearly an hour, and Ding Qi, who felt extremely comfortable, climbed up the tree and found a comfortable position to prepare for a lunch break, and the little cutie had already fallen asleep in the grass nest under the tree. Just as Ding Qi was lying on his back, counting the leaves above his head and about to fall asleep, a snap sounded from under him, which woke him up from his drowsy state, and he quickly got up to see what was going on.

I saw that one of the stones used to block the bonfire below shattered, shattering the embers of the campfire all over the ground, and some white powder was scattered around it. The little cutie who was resting under the tree was so frightened that she clung to the roots, her neck hair stood on end, and she stared at the gravel on the ground with big round eyes, and roared in a low voice.

Seeing those white powders, Ding Qi was startled, and quickly went down the tree to look at it, and stretched out his fingers to twist a little and rub them back and forth, and sniffed the smell with his nose. A touch of surprise appeared on Ding Qi's face.

"Roar! Got it! ”

What appeared in front of Ding Qi's eyes was the limestone he was looking for, and it was really nowhere to find it when he stepped on the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it.

Tinch jumped up excitedly, not even realizing that he had accidentally smeared lime powder on his face. Tinky rushed up to the cutie, grabbed both of its forelimbs, and spun around. It was still unknown about Ding Qi's behavior, and it was stupid when it was picked up by Ding Qi, and its feet were in the air, and the feeling of not being able to focus made it crazy. The hair on its whole body exploded, like a frightened cat, and its hind limbs kicked wildly in the hope of having a point of focus, but unfortunately it was disappointed, and even full of despair, and couldn't help but roar.

Baa~

Well? What meme? Could it be that you drank too much goat's milk?

However, Ding Qi, who was so excited that he couldn't help himself, didn't care about this, and threw the little cutie into the sky again. Catch, throw, catch, and toss, until cutie faints in despair in the air. Unaware of this, Tinch continued to throw the cutie high in the air, and then...

No then.

The cutie was thrown into a tree, stuck there with a weak body, her mouth and eyes crooked, her tongue drooping, her limbs drooping, and she happily "fell asleep".

Looking at his masterpiece, Ding Qi couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed, but he still quickly climbed up the tree, carefully got the little lynx down from the tree, and put it in the grass nest just now to wake it up on its own, while he himself picked up the stone again and examined it carefully, remembering where he had picked it up.

In fact, without Ding Qi recalling, after it examined several stones around him and knocked them open with an axe, he was already able to tell that these stones were limestone. It's just that it's different from the kind of limestone that has been seen before with a blue and whitish color and a bit of stone powder on the outside, and these are just yellow-brown in appearance due to long-term exposure to wind, sun and rain.

Tinch continued to explore the source of the limestone mine in the surrounding area, and found that this large area was full of such stones. I want to build a lime kiln here, but I think about it, it's a little far away from the residence, and the amount I need at present is not much, so it's not too late to build a kiln when I have the energy to go back, and now I can go back with some limestone on my back, try the water first, and also explore the experience of burning lime, so as to lay the foundation for large-scale lime burning and copper ore and iron ore in the future.

Just as Ding Qi picked up a dozen stones and threw them into the basket to take them back, a mountain wind suddenly blew from the top of the mountain, and it was so cold that the surrounding bushes and the big tree almost bent over. Looking up at the sky, he noticed that a large dark cloud was rolling in the sky in the distance, gradually obscuring the gray-black sky dome shrouded in smoke. It's like a black curtain that hides the stage that still has some color, and when it is opened again, it will be a different light and shadow.

The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, which is the prelude to the coming storm.

Looking at the gloomy sky, Ding Qi quickly woke up the little cutie and put it in the back basket behind him, grabbed other items and hurried to the house down the mountain.

It is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, but everyone knows that only by going up the mountain and trying to go down the mountain can you go home safely and steadily. Ding Qi, who was in a hurry to go down the mountain, used the methods he had learned in the previous military service, coupled with caution, he only took an hour to complete most of the previous more than three hours of travel, and even took the time to run to the cave to see if the fox mother and son were there. Of course, the road was not so safe, and he almost rushed into a thorny bush when he tried to cut shortcuts. Looking at the thorns covered with dense inch-long spikes, Ding Qi broke out in a cold sweat all over his body, and warned himself in his heart that he must be careful, and not put himself in an unfamiliar environment to avoid making mistakes.

At this time, the mountain wind was howling, and the scattered bean raindrops were smashing on Ding Qi's body under the blowing of the mountain wind, and they were painful and painful, and they all crackled on the ground, leaves or stones. The camp was in sight, and Tinch quickened his pace again.

In the distance, the thunder rolled, the black clouds pressed the city, and the big raindrops that had fallen just now suddenly disappeared, leaving only the sound of the wind wrapped in thunder throughout the sky. Ding Qi knew that this was the calm before the storm, and that the power of silence would brew even more violent rain.

As Tinche rushed through one bush, a colorful pheasant flew up from under his feet and was carried by the mountain wind towards another dense grass. This startled Tinch, but it didn't stop him. After running two more steps, another pheasant rose into the air, ready to use the mountain wind to speed up and escape.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed, and Ding Qi felt the bamboo basket behind him sink down suddenly, and then he saw the pheasant that flew into the air being pounced down by the black shadow, and fell hard into the grass not far from Ding Qi, and the gurgling sound stopped abruptly.

Ding Qi looked at it, and it turned out to be the little cutie who threw himself out of the bamboo back basket. The little lynx, which was only a month old, showed a talent that came from the depths of its blood, revealing its predatory nature.

Looking at the little cutie in the grass full of blood and chicken feathers, Ding Qi was surprised and relieved in his heart, just like seeing his toddler suddenly run up, he was so shocked and proud!

Ding Qi hurried two steps to pick up the little cutie and express his love and pride for it. And the little cutie squatted in the grass, looking at the dad who came over, like a child who wanted to show off in front of his parents, and made a call sound.

"Baa~"

Ding Qi's feet slipped and he fell to the ground, his eyes full of remorse.

It's true that having milk is a mother, but you are a lynx, dare to confront the leopard, and can lay the wolf down in the jungle ranger! How can you say the words of sheep, I drop my mother!
