Chapter 146: The Red Squirrel Who Stole Dates

Today's hail and torrential rain came suddenly and went quickly. After twenty minutes of hail and an hour of heavy rain, the sky cleared.

Hu Zifeng's team was well fed and drunk, and returned to Territory One. Xia Qing packed up his things and went home, carefully opened the door of the sheep shed, and found that there were only three wolves and one sheep left in the shed, and the first wolf and the other one did not know where to go.

The sheep boss who was lying next to the wolf who was injured in the waist glanced up at Xia Qing, and he didn't mean to stand up at all.

The wolf in charge of protection was still standing in front of the two wolves, staring at Xia Qing vigilantly; Although the wolf with a wounded leg still has a fierce face, he has finally improved a little - he has no teeth; The wolf with a waist injury looked at Xia Qing calmly, as if asking her what was wrong.

"When the rain stops, I'll remove the rain cloth, otherwise it'll be stuffy in this room soon." Xia Qing took down the rainproof cloth and changed the drinking water for the wolf before he began to check his losses in this rain.

She bought the best quality rainproof cloth, which is strong and has a certain elasticity, so although the hail smashed more than 50 greenhouse supports, the rainproof cloth withstood the test and was not broken.

In terms of crops, the worst thing is the transplanted cotton. Because it was not protected with a rainproof cloth, the cotton plant was smashed into half a bare pole, and only a few broken leaves hung sporadically, and there will definitely be no harvest this year.

Although the big trees in the buffer forest have also broken a lot of branches and leaves, the tree shape is still there, and it will definitely be able to recover. There is no need to see the third area of No. 49 Mountain, the situation must be similar to the buffer forest.

The ground minoru must have been smashed to pieces, and there is no way to save it. However, Xia Qing had already eaten a lot of dried nuts and baked a lot of dried fruits, so she didn't feel too distressed.

The yellow-lamped pumpkins that had not been able to cover in time for the hail had rotten leaves and broken most of the rattans; The two small patches of red-light peanuts, the six ground bubble plants, the two patches of grass and the scattered edible plants of the sheep boss and the vine in the territory were the last to be covered, and they were as miserable as the yellow lantern pumpkins.

vines, red light peanuts and pasture grass seem to be able to recover from it, and the ground bubbles must be finished.

The corn planted in late June had just been watered two days earlier, so dozens of plants were blown down by this morning's strong wind, and they were able to hold them up, and all the ripe potato seedlings were blown down.

Some of the cotton peaches were blown off, but these can be blown off by the wind, and they are not strong, and they will have to be dropped in a few days if they don't fall today.

In general, crop losses are not significant.

The green light chickens have already begun to eat in the mud, and the fish pond is deep enough that the hail does not have much impact on the edible fish, so the animals raised by Xia Qing have not suffered losses.

The biggest loss was the solar panels, because they were built late, and three of Xia Qing's five solar panels were smashed by hail.

Fortunately, she had just exchanged a diesel generator with the Blue Dragon team, hoping that Yang Jin would not increase the price of diesel, oil, and generators that had already been set because of this hailstorm.

Xia Qing went to check the cave he dug a few days ago. Although there is no bed in the cave, the walls of the cave are full of water, which is dripping down.

It only rained for an hour to leak into a cave like this, and it was impossible to preserve food. Unless the cement wall is cut in the cave and the moisture barrier is brushed. Xia Qing wasn't sure what to do for a while, so he simply put aside the cave's advance and went to work on the rest.

After the sun rose, the temperature slowly climbed, and Xia Qing opened the air vent of the greenhouse to let the crops breathe. Then run to the high slope to check out your own green-light orchard.

The grapes, passion fruit and peppercorns were protected by the rain shelter and were not hit by the hail, and the apple and date trees were smashed to the point that the branches and leaves were rotten, but the main trunk was still there and could be relieved.

After looking at the jujube tree, Xia Qing began to pick up jujubes. There were a total of 136 green jujubes on the jujube tree, and Hu Zifeng only picked them up in their early 100s, and many of them were washed away by the rain.

It's green light food, and it has to be picked up.

Xia Qing searched Gao Pohe seriously and found more than a dozen green dates, and there were still more than a dozen missing. Walnut-sized jujubes, how could they be gone. Xia Qing didn't believe in evil, so he turned over the stones and pulled the grass to continue looking.

"Found it!"

Xia Qing searched for more than ten minutes, and finally found a big green jujube in the crack of the gravel, and was about to pick it up with a cheer, when he suddenly heard the sound of wind behind him.

She rolled quickly, drew her knife to resist, and saw a red figure fly in front of her.

The red squirrel wants to snatch her green dates!

Xia Qing swung his knife and chopped, but he was still a step too late, and the fast-moving red squirrel had already picked up the green jujube and jumped up the tree.

Seeing the red squirrel squatting on the branch and stuffing dates into his mouth, Xia Qing was furious, "Okay, you are a little thief, even if you steal tobacco, you dare to steal the old lady's food!" Return the dates, otherwise the old lady won't be able to spare you! ”

The red squirrel stuffed the dates into his mouth, shook his big fluffy tail defiantly, turned around and ran, and Xia Qing immediately chased after him.

After months of hard training, Xia Qing's running speed, visual and auditory capture abilities have improved. Although she is not as fast as the red squirrel, she can still catch the red squirrel's escape direction.

In one breath, chasing from the No. 3 territory to the No. 49 mountain third district, the red squirrel disappeared from Xia Qing's sight.

Xia Qing stopped under the pine tree where the red squirrel last stayed, his hearing and vision were fully open, and after two minutes of quiet observation, he looked up at the tall pine tree beside him.

There is movement in the trunk of the pine tree high up, and there should be a tree hole, which is probably the nest of the red squirrel.

After the rain, the surface of the tree was slippery, and Xia Qing was too lazy to climb the tree, so he pulled out his pistol and replaced it with bullets, and shot at the trunk.

Xia Qing used a pointed armor-piercing bullet, which was specially designed to deal with the rough skin and thick flesh of the evolutionary animals, and the woody and hard pine tree was punched a deep hole.

A shot went in, and the clicking in the tree hole stopped.

Xia Qing continued to aim at the big tree with his gun, and said coldly, "Return the food stolen from my territory." ”

There was a gurgling sound in the tree hole, Xia Qing waited for a while, but no squirrel crawled out, and there was another shot on the ground.

After three months and thousands of rounds of ammunition, Xia Qing's second shot accurately hit the position of the first shot.

The hole in the tree was pierced, and the red squirrel hiding in the hole to gnaw dates screamed sharply, obviously frightened.

Xia Qing held up his gun, his voice colder than hail, "Return the food stolen from my territory, or I will split the pine trees and empty your nest." ”

There was a sound of squeezing in the tree hole, Xia Qing's gaze moved up in the direction of the sound, and then saw a red figure flashing on a pine branch about six meters high, and a green jujube fell from the branch and landed at Xia Qing's feet.

It's a big green jujube that has been bitten a few times by a squirrel!

Xia Qing was even angrier, and slammed another shot at the tree hole.

"Hiss!"

The red squirrel was frightened, and threw out big green dates one after another, throwing out a total of ten dates and five dates. Then, the little squirrel stood on a branch and looked down at Xia Qing, indicating that it had only taken these.

It seems that it knows why it is chasing after it, and it also knows that this big green date is its own food. The five jujube cores on the ground, plus the one that was thrown down first and was bitten a few times, in such a short time, this thief gnawed six dates on himself. If you don't teach it a lesson today, how many dates will grow on the jujube tree next year will not be enough for it to steal.

Xia Qing aimed his gun at the red squirrel, and his voice was as cold as ice slag, "You stole and damaged my food, you must compensate me, otherwise you will die now." ”

The red squirrel may not understand what Xia Qing is saying, but it senses her anger, retracts into the hole and pulls it for a while, and throws down something with a little red in the green. (End of chapter)
