After this theft, the village of Tayama stopped seriously for a while.

The snow kept falling, and the temperature outside was about minus 40 degrees Celsius during the day, and it was even colder in the dark.

The villagers of Tashan Village are not afraid of the severe cold, they are busy shoveling snow and freezing ice on the roofs every day, and even the martial arts training class has not been suspended in such cold weather, and the villagers still insist on participating in training every day.

Our family is also very busy, and a few of their little cubs had the whim to see his grandmother and grandmother freezing ice cubes, and were inspired to say that since they can freeze ice cubes, they can also freeze ice lollies. He did it when he thought of it, and came to me to ask for molds, milk powder, juice, and sugar, saying that they would make a few more flavors and freeze them in the ice cellar, and next summer should not be able to eat popsicles this summer.

I think a few of them are playing demons, and now that adults are so busy, how can they have the time to make popsicles for them in the United States.

Jiang's mother is used to children, and when she saw that I was still grinding and chirping, she didn't want to give Hanhan what she wanted, so she shouted: "What are you ink, you don't support the children who want to make some food by themselves, you don't care what they do, just treat it as playing." "Winter is not like summer, where children can run around the village and mountains, but now it is too cold in winter, and children can only be confined to their homes every day. Qu's mother saw that the child was either training or studying here every day, and she was distressed for a long time, and finally the child thought of playing, and I didn't agree with the mother's grinding and chirping, and she became angry.

"Hanhan, come here, let's not ask your mother for it, grandma will give it to you." Qu's mother summoned the children over, got up and went to the house to get things for the children.

I touched my nose. I thought about it stupidly, but fortunately, Qu's mother took something from the storage bag and remembered to avoid these little cubs, and she was not confused.

"Mom. Don't give him powder, let him go to the backyard and milk the cows himself. ”

After that, these children had something to do, and when they had nothing to do, they would carry a small bucket everywhere to find the cleanest snow, (it was too cold today, and the water in the well in the backyard had frozen into ice) During recess, they used a charcoal basin to melt the snow themselves, boil it, let it cool, and then add milk or something. After pouring it into the mold, put a small wooden stick on it and send it outside to freeze.

A few of them froze the popsicles, which led the children of the whole village to follow suit. But they don't have the materials, so they generously provide milk to everyone, anyway, it is produced by their own cattle, and it is a waste if they don't squeeze it out.

However, there were still a few children who ate fried meat with bamboo shoots. Not every family has a grandmother who is used to children. They went home and took the few white sugar in the house, and they were beaten up, can they not be beaten!

That's it, busy, chickens and dogs jumping every day, and it looks like the New Year is coming.

I told Jiang Zhi that I wanted to go into the mountains again and see the red ears. This year's snow was heavier than last year's, and I was a little worried that little thing wouldn't find something to eat.

So on the twentieth day of the lunar month. Jiang Zhi and I packed our bags again and entered the mountain again.

The mountains and forests in winter look a little depressed, they look white, I feel that the temperature in the forest seems to be lower than in the village, and the snow on the ground is much thicker, all up to the base of my thighs, and it takes a lot of effort to walk, and after walking in the snow for a while, I feel that my hands and feet are going to freeze, as if I am wearing thick clothes, no matter how thick I am, I can't resist the invasion of cold. Later, I had to run the exercises to maintain the temperature on my body.

Jiang Zhi and I used the light talisman to finally reduce the resistance of the snow, although the clothes on our bodies were very bloated, but the body was not sinking, and we were able to walk through the snow very lightly.

When heading into the mountains, Jiang Zhi saw a protruding bag on the snow, which should not be there, so Jiang Zhi went to investigate, and found that there was a roe deer frozen to death underneath.

It was lying stiff in the snowdrift, we unceremoniously put it away, but we also began to worry in our hearts, now this temperature can freeze some animals to death, if it snows a few times, the temperature is even lower, isn't there more animals to be frozen to death, or can't find food to starve to death?

Although we are very worried that the animals in this mountain forest will become extinct, we have no way to solve it, it is impossible to receive all the animals in the space in the winter and release them into the mountain forest in the summer, which is too unrealistic, and my space cannot accommodate so many animals.

We continued on our way, and when we found such snowdrifts, we went to see them, and on the first day we picked up two roe deer, three wild boars, and a black bear, and many rabbits and pheasants. When I first saw that it was a black bear, I thought it was hibernating and didn't want to disturb it, but Jiang Zhi observed it more carefully than me, and he said that the black bear was not hibernating in the snow, and then he stepped forward to confirm that the black bear was dead. In line with the principle that waste is crime, although I am sad that so many animals have frozen to death, I have no mercy to put them in front of the ring. Now that their lives have come to an end, let them exert their last residual heat for humanity.

I didn't think that this time it would be faster than when I entered the mountains last summer, and it would be winter, and I wouldn't be able to cut firewood or dig trees. Who knows, but it is not what we think, we entered the mountain this time at a slower speed than last time, in addition to looking for animals that were frozen to death and starved to death like a treasure hunt, we also found that many branches on the trees were crushed by the heavy snow and fell on the snow. However, fortunately, we are not in a hurry, nor are we in a cold, so we enjoy Taobao in the mountains and forests.

In the evening, we rested in the space, and in the afternoon of the next day, we came to the red pine forest that impressed me again.

The trees are still huge, but the jagged grass between the trees is hidden by the heavy snow, and it is estimated that they will freeze to death, and when the flowers bloom next spring, the roots deep in the soil will burst out again.

I looked up at the canopy of the red pine, which can shade the sky and the sun, it is estimated that because the area of the canopy is too large, the gap is too small, and the snow falls less from the gap, all of which are accumulated on the canopy.

From the experience last time, I knew that Red Ear was very territorial conscious, and in its territory, even a piece of grass could not be taken without its permission, so I didn't make that effort, just went around the branches and continued to walk inside.

This red pine forest is very large, you can't see the edge at a glance, the last time we walked for a few hours, we came across the red ear, but I just have a feeling that we are still on the edge of the red pine forest, and we have not penetrated deep into the red pine forest.

This time Jiang Zhi and I didn't look at anything, didn't take anything, just patronized and walked to the depths of the red pine forest, until noon on the third day, I didn't stand still, not that I didn't want to go, but I didn't have so much time, because I still have to go home and spend the New Year with my family, if I can't go home in time, the family is reunited, my mother can talk in my ear for a year.

Standing under the huge red pine, I looked up at the trunk of the red pine, and for a while I couldn't see where the squirrels were home.

"You say, it's not that Red Ears has an accident, why have we all been in for so long this time, and we haven't seen a squirrel." I said with some confusion.

The last time we came in just a few hours, Redears appeared in front of us with a large army, and this time it was much deeper than the last time, and there was still no squirrel in sight.

"At this time, the squirrel is hiding in the hole and not moving, in order to reduce the consumption of ability, how can it be as lively as in the summer."

Jiang Zhi said as he looked around at the pine trees around him. After saying that, his gaze also stopped, and I followed his line of sight, and there was a very inconspicuous small tree hole in the trunk of a pine tree more than 20 meters above the ground.

"Could that be a squirrel's home?" I asked curiously, I had never seen a wild squirrel's home.

"Just look at it." After Jiang Zhi finished speaking, he took a few steps back, ran forward violently, and then grabbed the trunk of the tree with both hands, kicked his feet alternately, and climbed on the squirrel, and after a while he approached the tree hole.

I watched from below and reminded, "Be careful." ”

When Jiang Zhi arrived at the entrance of the cave, he first looked inside carefully, knocked on the trunk of the tree with his hand, and saw that there was no movement, so he reached inside. I watched it down there, and when I saw him reach in, I couldn't help but worry again.

Jiang Zhi groped in the hole, and took out a furry thing from it, my heart tightened again, this time it was not worried about Jiang Zhi's safety, but worried about the thing in Jiang Zhi's hand, I had a feeling that it was a squirrel.

After Jiang Zhi grabbed the little thing out, he didn't stay on it anymore, and slipped down from the tree. I hurried up to him, grabbed his hand and saw what it was.

Sure enough, as I guessed, it was really a squirrel, a little bigger than Jiang Zhi's palm, and it had already been frozen.

"Is this a squirrel, is it freezing to death or starving?" I looked at the stiff little squirrel and analyzed the cause of its death.

"It should freeze to death, if it starves to death, its fur can't be preserved so well." Jiang Zhi looked at the squirrel in his hand and said.

Although the little squirrel in his hand has died, the fur on his body is still very smooth, unlike those sick, frail, and old animals, when the nutrition can't keep up, they all have alopecia areata, so they should freeze to death.

I looked at the squirrel in his hand and became even more worried about the red ear. (To be continued......)
