Leaving the forest, we set off early in the morning and headed deeper into the valley. Since the Council of Elders has ruled that Shaoyi should stay in the West Mountain for ninety-nine eighty-one days to complete the test, Shaoyi is also prepared in his heart, and there will be many unknowns along the way.

On the ground, a string of footprints attracted the attention of one less one. Looking at the series of footprints in front of him, Shao Yi had already deduced seventy-seven eighty-eight in his heart......

Looking down and looking closely, Shaoyi's mind came up with what might have happened here last night: there was a long scratch on the ground like a small broomstick, which was enough to prove that a small animal with a long tail had come over and stopped here. A few sparse tender pine balls were scattered lonely on the ground, and there were still neat rows of tooth marks on the pine balls. Shaoyi carefully picked it up and sniffed it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It turned out that it was a squirrel with a little limp in its right foot that had squatted here to eat.

Shaoyi circled every trace on the ground with a branch, and said to himself, "You jumped here, and then ran away, and your tail was very high, you must have been frightened by something." ”

Since I was a child, I like to track the footprints of various small animals, and I never get tired of it. Many times, he took advantage of the "unpreparedness" to sneak into the mountains. The invisible summoning of the mountains always made him want to stop.

In the process of tracking animals, Shaoyi's favorite thing is to identify what they eat and how often they eat, to know if they are in a hurry to move forward or to walk calmly, he even likes to check their droppings, care for their young, study the difference between them and humans, and observe their habits......

Once, when he went up the mountain, he found a tree where a golden retriever monkey lived by an unnamed stream, just above a cluster of low bushes.

Unfortunately, I saw the traces left by the hairy monkey, and the tree was empty. Shaoyi, who had been dormant for a long time, had to put away the lasso, quietly removed the footprints left on the ground, and waited for the next opportunity to meet the golden retriever monkey.

At this time, Shaoyi couldn't go back to Dayanhe Village for a while, and Shaoyi simply relied on the memories of the past to come to the nameless stream again, wanting to find the golden monkey.

This summer is dry, with very low rainfall and less than half of the water in the stream.

The last time I went up the mountain, there was still green grass here, wild fruits hanging on both sides of the bank, and there were many bamboo shoots. This time, the dry riverbed has made small fish and shrimp extinct, and bamboo shoots and wild fruits are only sparse, only a little bit.

The golden retriever monkeys mainly live on young twigs, young shoots, fresh leaves, bamboo shoots and various fruits, and due to the lack of rainfall, there is a significant shortage of food for the golden retriever monkeys.

Shaoyi observed that this creek was too flat and exposed, and the sun was too abundant, especially at noon, which could easily attract poisonous snakes, so it was really not ideal for the golden retriever monkey to choose this location as territory.

The tree is located high above the river, and because of its height, the golden retriever monkey is easily spotted by other predators......

After this observation, Shaoyi judged that this was only a temporary residence for the golden retriever monkey, and it had not been lived in for a long time. If the golden retriever monkey still uses the tree, it is only for temporary rest or escape.

I heard Geng Ding say that if the male golden retriever monkey is not the monkey king, he usually does not live with the monkey group, but becomes a lone ranger.

Shaoyi walked all the way down the almost cut stream to the depths of the valley, secretly watching the changes on both sides. As the altitude climbed, the sound of the mountain spring became louder and louder, and the grass and trees began to become much denser here.

I don't know why, for no reason, Shaoyi came to an empty and rocky hillside, he stood for a long time, not wanting to leave.

He laboriously explored with his senses, trying to understand why there weren't any clues related to the golden retriever monkey here. However, my instinct is that there may be a monkey nest here?!

He scanned the entire area, trying to find all available clues, but still found nothing.

At this moment, a cold trumpet bird flew up from the artemisia grass beside him and flew low past him, as if to bring him some kind of message.

So, Shaoyi followed the trajectory of the cold trumpet bird and climbed to the cliff on the right. When you come to the top of the cliff, you can see a ravine across the craggy cliff. It was a ravine that could not be found from any angle, and it was hidden behind the cliff.

The vegetation in the deep ravine is dense, steamed by the sun, and layers of white mist emerge from the ravine, and the fairy aura is miao, like a peach paradise in the valley.

Attracted to the vine, he settled on a tree beside the rock, and was surprised to find that it was not necessary to get it at all, and that the golden retriever monkey had rested here: on a large tree.

Indeed, the clever golden retriever monkey foraged in the woods during the day, climbed the rocky cliff at night, and then, following the cliff, unwittingly into this extremely shady ravine, turned it into a small kingdom of its own.

Shaoyi came to the bottom of the tree, and at this time, the sun baked the rock walls of the cliff.

A small gecko fell off the cliff and rolled down to the crevice of the cliff face, where it was just the right place to take refuge in the coolness.

A long-waiting Lauber bird swooped down with a "chirp-li-" and flew away with a small gecko in its beak......

Retracting his curiosity, he thought he would focus on finding the golden retriever monkey that had made me so worried, and not be too distracted by other small animals.

He swaggered under the tree and placed his shadow in front of the golden monkey's house. Shaoyi seemed to be able to feel that the golden retriever monkey was behind the bushes, making an angry "huh-ah-hmm" sound because its home had been violated.

"I just want to get close to you and see what you can do?!" shouted the scoundrel.

Maybe it's because the surroundings are too quiet, or maybe it's because of the heat, Shaoyi fell asleep bored under the golden monkey tree-

......

"Are you piercing your ears and eyes now?" After watching Gugu hurry, Shaoyi couldn't hide his distressed expression.

When the steel needle is burned to red, Goo will bravely find the earlobe of himself in the mirror, that is, he will prick it fiercely.

"Ahh

Goo didn't cry out in pain, but one less shouted for her. Shaoyi covered his ears and asked in surprise: "Goo, why are you piercing your ears and eyes, my heart is hurting?"

As usual, Goo regarded Shaoyi as a vacuum, and she refused to shout even when her tears flowed out: "Don't be in front of me, mother-in-law, mother-in-law," she said while quickly bringing the jade earrings that the village chief bought from the market town, and shining left and right, "There are more beautiful stones in our mountains than this, and the village chief is really, a basket of eggs for such a pair of small stones." ”

......

Touching his aching earlobe with his hand, Shaoyi woke up from his dream. At this moment, a golden shadow flickered in front of him, and then flashed into the hole.

Don't touch your ears again and again, yes! Golden haired monkey, you are really willing to eat this steel needle mouth!

Shaoyi hurriedly dragged a handful of star grass and chewed it in his mouth, and applied the grass foam to the wound on his ear. This is the emergency treatment that Goo taught him.

Not to mention, I really miss her a little bit now. No avail! Shaoyi scolded himself fiercely.

By the way, if I show patience with Gollum, is there anything I can't do in the world?!

I think of more than five years since I was born, and I haven't been spoiled by Gugu's "spoiling" without weight.

Once, Shaoyi was put into a pumpkin lantern by Goo Gu to scare the fourth aunt, and the fourth aunt worshipped the fox fairy for a winter.

Another time, when Goo was missing a dozen pendulums, he forcibly poured Hu spicy soup into him, and a civet cat who had lost his partner smelled the soup and came to the door to avenge his companion, which shows how fishy the soup is......

When you think about it, it's really unbearable!

As the village chief once praised, "One less is good, you really have the ability to resist beatings, and you are a good material for abuse!"

That's right, even a master like the village chief has to be polite and coo-gu in everything, and Shaoyi has to reluctantly accept this fact - the woman is the boss.

Shaoyi also opened his teeth and claws just now, trying to use the shadow on the ground to further scare the golden retriever monkey. At this time, once he missed Gugu, Shaoyi actually changed his method, and he decided to treat the golden monkey in the tree as the self who was coaxed and deceived in Gugu's hands on weekdays.

And one less himself, this time the role has changed, and he will act as the ruler who holds the stick in one hand and appreciates dates in the other hand - Gugu.

The first step is to activate the rogue attitude.

If Goo can resolutely drive him and the village chief out of the kitchen with a rolling pin, so as to divide the sphere of influence that the kitchen belongs to her, then he can also guard the entrance of the cave every day, showing that a behemoth Terran will not abandon and stalk the territory of the golden retriever monkey.

One less moved his figure to make sure that the shadow was projected right in the golden monkey's line of sight as the sunlight moved.

Noon was too long, and the sun was sparing no effort to volatilize and amplify the stinking sweat of Shaoyi, and the wind blew from behind, bringing the smell of Shaoyi directly to the treetops.

One less pair of hidden golden retriever monkeys said, "Hey, boy, I'm still here!"

Shaoyi took the corner of the leaf to his lips, and used it as a willow leaf, and he played the sleepy tune "Little Herding Cow", ready to hone the patience of the golden retriever monkey......

The second step, since Goo Gu can put down the girl's figure and noble high-end image, and use the violent means of sticks and staring eyes to teach me a bear child, since Goo Gu is still willing to lean down, lower his gaze, and play with me on the ground all day long, then, why can't I treat myself as a human being and a playful golden retriever monkey?!
