After more than half a month, there was not much honey left, and Shaoyi had to leave the thousand-year-old silver fir forest to find new food.

He set out early in the morning and headed deeper into the valley.

Shaoyi was thinking along the way: since he was a piece of wastewood, the elders would rule that he should stay in the West Mountain for nine hundred and eighty-one days to complete the test, even if the fear of this strange world was endless, the two incompatible qi and blood in his body could break out at any time "Vicious Battle".

No one had ever told him why he couldn't hunt beasts and practice like other children, and the village chief always avoided the topic, consciously or unconsciously.

Looking at the vast valley in front of him, Shaoyi planned to use his feet to walk out of a road. He may be destined to be a piece of waste wood for the rest of his life, but he must know why all this is.

As he walked, a string of footprints on the ground attracted Shaoyi's attention. 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, and a smile on the corner of his mouth replaced the original nervousness and uneasiness.

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, and wonder if they are in a hurry to move forward or take a leisurely stroll. He even likes to examine their droppings, care for their young, study the difference between them and Terrans, and observe their habits......

Shaoyi found a nest of golden retriever monkeys in a tree on the side of the valley, just above a cluster of low bushes.

Unfortunately, I saw the traces left by the hairy monkey, and the tree was empty.

He was thinking that he might be able to survive the mountains with the golden monkeys, which Goo had told him that the golden monkeys were the only animals in the wilderness that were close to human food. It also knows how to hide from the beasts.

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

At this time in previous years, the grass was still green, the wild fruits on both sides of the bank were full of branches, 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 right to take refuge in the coolness.

A cold horn bird that had been waiting for a long time 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 sat under the tree with a swagger, and placed his shadow in front of the golden monkey's house in a grand manner. 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.

"Golden retriever, I'll only stay here for two months and then leave......," said Shaoyi to the golden retriever monkey who was demonstrating against him.

Maybe it was too quiet around, or maybe it was because of the heat, and after a long time of the young one and the golden retriever monkey, he fell asleep bored under the tree—
