Chapter 4 Make an agreement with the little squirrel
The baby squirrel is a very diligent little animal.
The nature of storing food makes it very busy every day. Even if it finds food today, it will not know how to play like the birds and monkeys in the woods.
It has to prepare for tomorrow's food!
Just because just because you can find food today doesn't mean you can find food tomorrow.
Take precautions and prevent problems before they happen, so that your small life can be nourished and moisturized, like birds and monkeys eat the last meal and no next meal lifestyle, it has always scoffed.
Even if you have plenty of food, you can't sit idle!
It also has to take care of its nest to protect it from moisture, insects, and intruders.
Only when the nest is well organized, you will sleep comfortably at night, and wake up in a beautiful mood during the day.
But!
But all this!
All ruined by a human!
Last night, all the fruit it had worked so hard to collect was looted by this human!
For this reason, the little squirrel was busy all day the next day, and finally found six more fruits to fill the nest.
I wanted to get a good night's sleep......
But!
But the abominable human who ransacked its nest last night is here again!
Here he is again!
The little squirrel is like a great enemy. Looking at Liu Xiaoxu, who was struggling to climb the tree and getting closer and closer to his nest, he decided not to retreat anymore and bravely fight against the evil forces!
"Squeak!"
The little squirrel jumped down from the branch, and pounced on Liu Xiaoxu who was climbing the tree with his teeth and claws, the four little claws stretched out as much as they could in the air, and the sharp claw tips were aimed at Liu Xiaoxu's head!
It's going to have to scratch him with its claws!
Let him know how good it is!
However, compared to humans, the little squirrels are too weak in strength.
Liu Xiaoxu caught it almost easily, and it was useless to let the little squirrel struggle.
"Little bit, you still want to sneak up on me, it's still tender!" Liu Xiaoxu smiled, put the struggling little squirrel under his armpit, and continued to climb the tree.
"Yo! I have prepared six spirit fruits again! You are so enthusiastic, since this is the case, then I will reluctantly accept it, anyway, it will be a waste if you can't finish it!"
Climbing to the tree hole, he saw the six spirit fruits neatly placed inside, Liu Xiaoxu copied them with his big hand and pocketed the fruits with his clothes.
Seeing this scene, the little squirrel burst into tears.
After a day's hard work to collect the fruit, there was no wood for himself.
It's so inhuman!
I'm not human, but you're a real dog!
However, Liu Xiaoxu didn't think so. He felt that he had been merciful, and as soon as he came down from the tree, he let the little squirrel go.
He is also principled, only seeking money and not life!
"I have no other virtues in this person, but I am very kind-hearted. You see, you stole my clothes before, and you attacked me just now, but I still decided to let you go with great mercy, aren't you very moved?"
Looking at the little squirrel squatting on the ground crying extremely sadly, Liu Xiaoxu said kindly: "Look, they are all crying." It must have been my act of kindness that made you shed tears of emotion and remorse. Actually, you don't have to do this, just prepare some more fruit for me tomorrow, and I'll come back tomorrow to get it. ”
After speaking, Liu Xiaoxu hummed a little song and left step by step.
The next day, Liu Xiaoxu gave the spirit fruit to Lu Ping and them, one for each person, and the remaining two for backup.
If you eat a spirit fruit, you won't be hungry for a day.
Without the threat of starvation, a few people don't have to cut down trees desperately every day, they cut down two trees when they are in a good mood, and don't cut down any trees when they are in a bad mood.
And there was no mercy in the management of the stool, the tree was not cut enough, and there was no food left for them.
At first, Guan Da sneered in his heart, just waiting to see the jokes of Liu Xiaoxu and the others. As the saying goes, people are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic. Eating and drinking and not eating Lu Bigu, that is something that can only be done by people who are advanced in cultivation, and an outer disciple like Liu Xiaoxu, who has not even practiced immortal arts, still can't do it without eating.
However.
A day passed......
Two days passed......
Three days passed......
He was surprised to find that Liu Xiaoxu and the others did not show even a little hunger, but their faces were ruddy and radiant.
Sensing that something was wrong, Guan Poop sent his younger brother to secretly follow and monitor, and this tracking did not matter, and soon there was a major discovery.
"Boss, when I was spying on them today, I noticed that they had eaten a strange fruit in the morning, and had not eaten anything else for the whole day. I suspect there's something wrong with the fruit. A little brother said.
"Do you see where the fruit comes from?" asked Guan Poop.
"It was given by Liu Xiaoxu!"
"Liu Xiaoxu ......"
After listening to the little brother's report, Guan Dapo's expression moved, and the triangular eyes of the yin owl flickered slightly.
It's night.
Liu Xiaoxu came to the little squirrel's nest again.
This time, the little squirrel seemed to have resigned himself to his fate, obediently squatting on the branch on the side, and letting Liu Xiaoxu go up to the tree to dig out the nest.
"Huh, why is there only one spirit fruit?" When Liu Xiaoxu climbed the tree and saw the scene in the nest, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Squeak!" the little squirrel gestured to its little paws, as if to say, "All the fruits I picked today are here, and I am helpless because of the small harvest." ”
Looking at the little squirrel's explanation, Liu Xiaoxu's eyes rolled with a purr.
Something is wrong. Why is the little squirrel so well-behaved today? He is still interested in explaining to himself. In other words, shouldn't you scream and scratch yourself?
There must be a demon when things go wrong, and there is definitely something greasy in this!
Liu Xiaoxu was silent on the surface, secretly called up the system, stared at the spirit fruit for 30s, and entered the spirit fruit into the system.
Soon, the minimap showed the number and location of spirit fruits within a radius of two miles.
The tree he was on did indeed have only one spirit fruit. But the tree next to it hid nine spirit fruits!
Liu Xiaoxu couldn't help grinning.
Well, the little squirrel has become cunning!
After getting off the tree, Liu Xiaoxu went straight to the hiding place of the other nine spirit fruits.
"Squeak!"
Seeing Liu Xiaoxu's move, the little squirrel squeaked in a hurry.
Liu Xiaoxu ignored it and quickly came to the giant tree next to him.
The tree is ten feet tall and towering into the sky, and its dense canopy is like a canopy, blocking the sky and leaving a place of shade.
Liu Xiaoxu looked up, and the small map showed that nine spirit fruits were hidden in this tree!
"Squeak squeak!"
The little squirrel was still waving its little paws, as if to say, "Brother, you are mistaken, there is no fruit you want here." ”
Where is Liu Xiaoxu willing to believe? With a roll of his sleeves, he immediately climbed the tree!
After only a little bit of climbing, I found a tree hole, and the nine spirit fruits were impressive!
Liu Xiaoxu was unceremonious and packed it directly!
"Squeak squeak~"
Seeing this scene, the little squirrel cried again.
I thought that if I secretly hid the spirit fruit, I wouldn't be discovered by this hateful human.
But!
But the fruit was found again!
It's clear that I'm hiding it so secretly!
Seeing that Liu Xiaoxu was about to leave, the little squirrel screamed twice and rushed to Liu Xiaoxu's feet, blocking his way.
It's enough of this kind of daily robbery!
I saw the little squirrel lying on his back on the ground with his paws facing the sky, and he looked like he was going to snatch my fruit and stepped over my body first.
Then, Liu Xiaoxu really stepped over its body......
Seeing that his short body couldn't stop Liu Xiaoxu's footsteps, the little squirrel simply followed all the way to Liu Xiaoxu's residence, and then climbed to Liu Xiaoxu's bed, with four paws facing the sky, and lay down on his back again, in a posture of not leaving.
Seeing this scene, Liu Xiaoxu smiled.
"You little bit, I have the heart to let you live, and you dare to follow?!"
Carrying the tail of the little squirrel, Liu Xiaoxu lifted it from the bed and was about to throw it out of the door.
But the little squirrel hugged his arm tightly, like a piece of kraft candy, and refused to come down, and the little appearance looked like death.
Seeing this, Liu Xiaoxu couldn't help blinking.
What's going on? Could it be that this little squirrel is on strike?
The little squirrel is on strike, what will he eat in the future!
So, Liu Xiaoxu put up a small face and said earnestly: "Little no, it's not right for you to be like this, you have to cheer up and become more diligent than before." Diligence makes people outstanding, laziness makes people mediocre, although you are a little squirrel, but this sentence also applies to you. ”
The little squirrel squeaked in protest, apparently not listening to what he had just said.
Liu Xiaoxu felt a big headache.
Although the Spirit Fruit has been entered into the system, the minimap does not show where the Spirit Fruit grows. In other words, the place where the spirit fruit grows is two miles away from here, which is beyond the current detection range of the system.
In which direction is the place of growth, and how far away is it...... He didn't know anything about this information.
Therefore, if you want to get the spirit fruit, you have to rely on the little squirrel, and the system alone can't drip.
"Little one, if you don't give me the fruit to pick obediently, I'll stew you and eat it!" Liu Xiaoxu made a fierce face, wanting to use threats to force the little squirrel to commit it.
The little squirrel snorted twice, and the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.
Seeing that it was hard to work, Liu Xiaoxu's eyes rolled, and he came soft: "Little murderer, you are always like this, you can't solve the problem, things have to be discussed." Otherwise, I'll just take four fruits from you every day, and if you don't have more, what do you think?"
"Of course, I won't ask for your spirit fruit for nothing. In return, I can send you a few pieces of clothing. Don't you want to build a nest with clothes, I have good cotton clothes here, and they are comfortable and warm in the nest. ”
As soon as these words came out, the little squirrel's eyes flickered, and it seemed to be a little moved.
Seeing that there was a play, Liu Xiaoxu was overjoyed and continued: "Actually, I was forced to rob you of the fruit, because there was a guy called the stool manager who always made things difficult for me and didn't give me food. If I don't have anything to eat, I'm going to starve to death. A kind-hearted, lively, lovely, smart, hard-working and capable little murderer like you, can you bear to watch me starve to death?"
"Squeak!"
The little squirrel called twice, and the snow-white little tail wagged a few times, as if it was very useful for the pile of praise that Liu Xiaoxu had just said.
"So, do you agree?" Liu Xiaoxu said with joy on his face.
"Squeak!" The little squirrel squeaked twice, and finally got off Liu Xiaoxu's arm and jumped up to the head of the bed a few times.
Liu Xiaoxu looked at it for a long time, and asked tentatively: "Do you want to say that you only give me three days of fruit, and after three days, you will no longer send it, and I will not be able to dig your nest in the future?"
"Squeak!" the little squirrel nodded.
Liu Xiaoxu touched his smooth and beardless chin and fell into deep thought.
Digging out the nest of a little squirrel is indeed not a long-term solution. The root of this problem is not the little squirrel, but the tube poop. If he doesn't remove the stool, even if he has a spirit fruit to eat every day, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not come up with other moths to fix them. So, you have to come up with a way to pull down the stool!
"That's it!" Liu Xiaoxu pondered for a moment, and finally responded.
reached an agreement with the little squirrel, and the little squirrel left with the clothes Liu Xiaoxu gave it.
As the night deepened, a breeze swept through the woods outside, bringing a little coolness. Above the night, a few clouds split and merged, quietly covering half of the waning moon. In the dim forest, a figure suddenly stepped out of the darkness.
Looking at the little squirrel running away, Guan Poop's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold smile appeared slightly on his face.
