Chapter 1199: Walking with the Beast (10)
Autumn is the busiest season for warm tea, she goes out every day to find food, and the prey in the trap is dried by her, and in order to prevent the meat from getting wet, she will also bake it with thick smoke until the moisture is lost.
The early autumn passed quickly, the weather was getting colder and colder, and when I went out in the morning, there was frost on the grass blades, and the forest, which was originally full of life, was much quieter.
The sembra fruit in the bushes began to disappear, and other fruits such as apricot and winter fruits that had been found before were gradually gone, and only a few hardy trees still stubbornly maintained their green color.
Wen Cha found that the green fruit on the fruit vine will not rot after falling to the ground, its shell is hard, and it can be barely split with a bone knife, and the flesh inside is orange-red, with the taste of grapefruit, which is delicious and easy to store.
At the thought of being able to eat such a fresh fruit in winter, Wen Cha was overjoyed, picked up all the vine fruits in that area, put them in a yarn leaf bag, and dragged them back to the tree house.
After late autumn, Wen Cha didn't plan to go out, except for necessary physiological problems, she didn't even go down to the tree.
At this moment, the big cat came running in high spirits, took her on his back with his mouth, and quickly ran to a cave behind the big tree by the lake, and pushed her in as if to give her a gift.
It was a small hill hidden behind a big tree, the hill was not high, but there was a cave on the mountainside that was covered by rocks, and if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't find a cave here, and it was very safe and secure. The most important thing is that it is close to the lake and very easy to get back and forth.
The entrance to the cave is not big, but after entering the space, there is not only a large stone bed half a person high, but also a series of pots and pans dug out of stones, and the dried wood is neatly stacked on the edge of the cave, there are a lot of them, according to the degree of firewood burning of warm tea, it should be able to burn until the spring of the next year.
Further inside, there is a small cave newly opened, the scratches on the stone wall are still new, and there are a bunch of fruits on the ground, there are winter fruits, there are vine fruits, miscellaneous ones, put a lot of them, some of them are not very fresh, they should be left for a while.
Wen Cha also found five or six large and surprisingly large animal skins, which looked like rhinoceros skins, but they were a little unlike, for some reason, they were not fishy at all when they were handled by the big cat, they were soft and soft, and they were very warm at first glance.
Wen Cha looked at everything in front of him dumbfounded, unable to imagine that this would be brought to him by a big cat living in the primeval forest.
It's also too smart, too human.
After she finished reading this, the big cat still pushed her inside, there was a place similar to a cellar, the entrance of the hole was blocked with stones, after the big cat pushed the stone away, the air inside was very cold, and the cellar was placed with layers of food.
Yes, food.
This is a big cat that only stores food.
Wen Cha suddenly didn't know how to express his surprise, as if he had seen a fantasy.
It's smart, and it doesn't look like a normal beast at all.
The big cat looked at her dumbfounded, and her tail was cocked again, it had never eaten this kind of dead and stored food before, it was too cheap. But now it's different, it carries the white-skinned beast, and the white-skinned beast is too fragile, and it is afraid that when it goes out to hunt in winter, the white-skinned beast itself will be in danger in the cave.
In winter, there are many wild beasts that come to fight for territory, and groups of giant hyenas, jackals, and leopards that come from the western grasslands to try their luck will easily kill her.
It can't be risky.
Moreover, she likes to hide food so much, she should be happy to see so much food.
Wen Cha was indeed very happy, and even a little speechless with joy.
When she didn't know it, this big cat was actually preparing these things, could she not be moved?
"Nishizawa ......" she turned her head to look at her big cat with sparkling eyes looking down in anticipation, and ran over and hugged it without hesitation, "Thank you, thank you...... You've really surprised me......"
The moment she hugged herself, the big cat's body stiffened, and then raised her paw to touch the little girl's back, well, gently, must not destroy her new 'skin'.
"Nishizawa, you're amazing!" Wen Cha couldn't help but praise it, "You're the smartest big cat I've ever seen!" โ
Although he didn't quite understand what she was talking about, the big cat could feel the excitement in her tone, the corners of its mouth grinning, and the tail behind it was eager to curl out.
It knows that the white-skinned beast likes these things, hey~\(โงโฝโฆ)/~
It looked down and licked her face, smelling the sweet, fragrant smell of her, and wanted to throw her on the ground and lick it all over.
Wen Cha was covered with saliva by it, and quickly pushed it away uncomfortably, "Don't lick it around, hurry up and accompany me back to clean up my things!" โ
There is such a convenient place as a cave, and the treehouse can be abandoned for a while.
In winter or something, it's safer to live in a cave.
Nishizawa let out a long roar and carried her back to the treehouse, and saw her take out the same things in the house, and his heart was indescribably happy.
In the future, this small shabby house that it can't get in will never come again! Hum!
There are a lot of warm tea things, and it took four or five trips in a row to pack them up.
Looking at this tree house where he lived for half a year, Wen Cha was a little reluctant in his heart, and secretly said that he could come back next spring to take a look, if the heavy snow didn't crush it, he should still be able to live in the future.
The big cat didn't like it very much, it wanted to take the white-skinned beast back to the cave before, but there was nothing in its cave, and it was not as clean as the white-skinned beast's house, and it was afraid that the white-skinned beast would dislike itself, so it delayed a little time.
Now that there is a cave, it won't let the white-skinned beast come back.
After moving into the cave, Wen Cha got busy again, first of all, the previous futon was not enough, the bed dug by the big cat was too big, and their quilt was not covered enough, so they needed to be re-sewn.
Besides, although there are pots and pans in the house, she still needs a stove, which has to be handled by the big cat.
During this period, Wen Cha went to the lake again, collected all the yarn leaves that grew and withered on the branches, and went to the woods to find some cotton silk, and with the animal skins in the house, he sewed a super large and super warm bedding.
Under the bed is a leather bed, a sheet made of gauze leaves, and a quilt sewn with cotton silk and animal skin, which should not be too warm this winter.
The big cat brought in a stone from the outside, and with his paws, according to the plan of warm tea, dug out a stove that could use two pots at the same time, which could not only stew soup, but also fry meat.
The two of them hurried for several days before they finally got it all ready before winter came.
When winter comes, the animals in the forest are basically extinct, the grass and trees are all deciduous and withered, and the snow falls from the sky, one after another, turning the orange world into a snowy one.
