96. Fur

"Squeak..."

The chipmunk shook his rain-soaked hair, and then slipped into the burrow.

The hole in the ground that was forced to be dug in the pit is now the biggest storage warehouse for the little one.

In the perception of chipmunks, tigers are the most powerful animals, and no animal dares to come to the place where tigers sleep to steal.

So now it is a pine tree cave as a residence, and the hole in the ground has completely become a pine cone storehouse, and the full cave is about to be piled up to the entrance of the cave.

Lin Qian yawned, watched the chipmunk pouting his little buttocks and moved out of the hole a little bit, and curiously leaned over to take a look.

What is this little guy doing?

Releasing all the pine cones they had brought back, the chipmunks finally retreated to the entrance of the cave.

"Squeak!" Tiger King!

As soon as I came out, I saw a big head in the cold.

The chipmunks were startled, but after living in the tiger's den for a long time, they were more or less accustomed to the presence of tigers, and they were not as scared as before.

"Da..."

A pine cone rolled and fell out with a snap.

The burrows dug by chipmunks start from the earth wall, so the hole is located a little higher than the ground.

No, as soon as the chipmunks get out of the way, there is nothing to block the hole full of pine cones, and this will fall out.

Lin Qian looked at the full hole and admired the chipmunks a little, this little guy is really capable!

It's not that he doesn't know the chipmunk, and he's seen a lot of cute pictures before, emojis and the like, but he really doesn't know the habits of this animal.

Therefore, he was really surprised that such a small body could get back so many pine cones, and he couldn't be surprised.

The chipmunk saw that the tiger did not move, his black eyes rolled, and he quickly hugged the fallen pine cone in his arms.

The chipmunk looked at the tiger's eyes that were staring at him, coaxed, and quickly raised the pine cone in his paws.

"Squeak!" Tiger King! Here you go!

Lin Qian looked at the pine cone that came to his mouth and was speechless, he was a tiger and didn't eat this thing.

"Whew." With a low roar, let the chipmunks do what they want. Lin Qian also turned around and fell back into the grass nest.

Tiger Mom and Courage are sleeping on the side, especially on rainy days.

The female tiger is not in this hole, and certainly not outside in the rain.

After the female tiger planned to settle down, Lin Qian had the courage to re-excavate on the earthen wall next to her.

It's not that he doesn't want the female tigers to live with them, but when the previous hole widens, he digs up to the roots of the tree, and if he digs any further, he is afraid that the digging will collapse.

Of course, the tigress had no problem with this, and although she didn't know why the cub was so obsessed with living in the burrow, she was still happy to dig the earth on the earth wall together.

With his previous experience, Lin Qian would cooperate with courage very quickly.

It took three days to dig the hole, which could accommodate three or four adult tigers.

Of course, a female tiger doesn't need so much to live with a tiger, but isn't there still a tiger dad, although the tiger dad won't live for a long time, but it can't be ignored.

By the end of autumn, suitable dead branches are easy to find, but grass is really hard to find.

After a rain or two, the dry grass had already softened and rotted.

The branches are naturally soft branches, and the branches of many shrubs in the forest are tough and soft, and Lin Qian will not be stupid to put a bunch of meat stuff under the nest.

The soft branches of shrubs are basically slender, so Lin Qian didn't just get them back and pile them together, but weaved them slightly.

There is no responsible technology, and the well weaving method is still possible, isn't it enough to have claws?

There was no soft and dry hay, so Lin Qian had to take out the animal fur he made and use it.

Yes, Lin Qian began to collect furs one after another in autumn.

Although he knew that tigers would grow thick fur in winter to protect against the cold, this was the first time he had experienced winter as a tiger, so he still made more preparations.

Always be prepared, don't be really cold and have nothing to protect you from the cold.

It's okay if you don't use it, and you can improve the quality of life by putting it in a grass nest.

Lin Qian collected the most deer skins and roe deer skins, and there were also two wild boar skins.

But the wild boar skin is not only not soft but also has a strong taste, so Lin Qian left two pieces of male wild boar skin.

These furs are naturally not as good as human processing, and even Lin Qian didn't know how to make fur at all, so he came up with a way to keep it after tossing around.

In order to remove the residue of fat left on the fur, Lin Qian almost licked his tongue numbly.

After licking it clean, he didn't have any other tools to use, so he washed it in the pool and hung it on a branch.

The success rate of such rough fur is naturally not high, and since autumn, Lin Qian will let the tiger mother help it peel off the prey's fur completely whenever he has the opportunity.

The claws of the tiger mother are extremely sharp, and she has full experience, under the guidance of Lin Qian, now the skinning technique is like fire and pure love, and a few claws are a complete fur.

It's a pity that Lin Qian was inexperienced at the beginning, and a lot of fur was stinky after being treated and hung on the tree.

Lin Qian summed it up several times before he came out, and he had to put it in the shade and not be exposed to the sun. And the flesh should be facing outward, otherwise this side will still be broken.

So far, Lin Qian has only harvested a dozen big furs that can be used.

There are a lot of rabbit skins, in line with the idea that mosquito legs are also meat, Lin Qian naturally did not let go of rabbits, the main rabbits are fluffy, the fur is really good, it is a pity to lose it.

It's just that the rabbit is too small, and the fur is so small, and he doesn't have a needle and thread to sew it, so this thing is all for the bottom of the female tiger's nest.

Although Du Linqian's actions were very puzzled, the female tiger was very satisfied with her nest, after all, the soft nest was definitely more comfortable than the bare and hard land.

Although there are only a dozen large skins, they are enough, after all, he can't use these furs for the tiger mother as a quilt, at most they can be used as blankets on the grass nest.

The autumn rain was falling with a chill, and Lin Qian already felt that winter was approaching.

Animals are very sensitive to changes in the weather, not to mention the temperature that drops every day.

Lin Qian took off all the fur hanging on the cave wall and prepared to upgrade the grass nest.

Don't ask how to hang it, the dirt wall, and it's not cement, and the sturdy branches of the inserts can't be.

Hearing the sparse movement, the tiger mother opened her eyes slightly, saw the cub holding the fur, and closed her eyes again.

This cub's brain doesn't know what's going on, it's different from them, it's out once a day.

But since my sister's nest was ready, the tiger mother's interest in the prey fur has risen, and this thing can still be used like this, and it must all be taken off in the future.

Well, no matter what weird ideas the cub has in the future, it will definitely spare no effort to support it as a mother.

Winter is coming, and both the foxes and hares, which are cautious, and the birds, which are always chirping, have almost disappeared without a trace.

How to survive the long winter is the most serious problem for the tiger cubs.

People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic, let alone a half-sized little tiger like Lin Qianhe and Courage.

Although the brothers are no longer at risk of freezing to death according to their physique, in winter, hunger is the tiger's biggest problem.

As the saying goes, "half the size of the child, eat the poor old man", the tiger mother is naturally worried, in the winter forest, it is not easy to find prey.

Winter is expected to come unexpectedly by the animals.

The icy wind and snow came suddenly, and the white snow flew wantonly between the sky and the earth with the cold wind of the tiger's roar.

On the first day of winter, a blizzard also came.

The tiger mother leaned sideways to block the snowflakes that drifted in, and looked sideways at the white blood-covered scenery outside, revealing a hint of confusion.

I don't know why, but it always feels a little bad premonition.

But it was obviously a normal heavy snowfall...... The temperature drops, it's winter, and it's normal for snow to fall, so why does it have a sense of danger?

Two small plush heads were poking out of the tiger mother's back, and the two pairs of tiger eyes looked out curiously and puzzledly.

The whirring wind was like a ghost crying wolf at night, and Lin Qian was used to it.

Seeing that something seemed to be slowly falling outside, Lin Qian and Courage were very curious.

The two little tigers snuggled up to their mother when they slept, and the two little tigers were protected by their mother's huge body, so they naturally did not suffer the slightest invasion of wind and snow, and they did not find the snow at the first time.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

It was the middle of the night, and when I slept enough, I found that the temperature had dropped suddenly.

The moment I saw the snowflakes clearly, Courage excitedly went out to find out.

Isn't it raining?

What is that?

This is the first snow in its life, and the snow-white ground and the cold things that keep falling like flowers make the little cub curious.

A small snowflake fell on the tip of the nose, cold, and stuck out the tip of the tongue to lick it.

Well? Why is it gone?

Courage blinked suspiciously, licked his nose again, and nothing.

The little cub strangely stretched out his grip and grabbed the falling snowflakes. The crystal snowflakes gradually melted in the palm of the hand, turning into a drop of water.

But in the eyes of courage, what is really white disappears in the palm of the hand.

This aroused the curiosity of the little one, and the little tiger fluttered and kept grasping the falling snowflakes, and the posture was much more exciting than when he fluttered the butterflies.

Lin Qian enjoyed the snow scene, and also jumped to play with his younger brother, of course there was a snowball fight when it snowed, playing in the snow!

It was a rare experience for him, and it was the first time he had seen such a large amount of snow as he grew up in the south.

But just when the brothers were having fun, the tiger mother went out.

The tiger mother took a bite and a little cub and took it all back to the cave.

Although the feeling of uneasiness for the tiger mother is gone, it does not dare to risk the safety of its cubs. Lin Qian felt the tiger mother's nervousness, but he really couldn't think of why.

Ask the tiger mother, and the tiger mother just expresses a sense that it is dangerous. Feeling dangerous?

Is it a danger warning?

But how could he not have it, nor did he have the courage!

But the tiger mother's emotions and actions speak for themselves, and the tiger mother will not lie, it must have really felt something.
