The deeper you go into the Qinling Mountains, the more suitable the environment becomes, and the climate is as warm as spring.

Despite it being winter, the leaves and wild grasses were lush and green, maintaining a vibrant vitality.

The metal monster completed its exploration mission and returned to lead the doro, heading straight for the not-too-distant mountain valley.

Surrounded by mountains, the sound of babbling brooks gradually becomes clearer, and the chirping of birds is incessant.

Although a combination of various sounds can create a particularly noisy environment.

Dorothy, Dorothy, Donas, and Pina quite liked this atmosphere.
The feeling of being relaxed and comfortable is truly intoxicating!

Tiptoeing forward, Doraemon looked left and right, his big eyes never stopping as he admired the beautiful scenery.

"people!"

"Look! There's a little bird with red wings in the sky!"

"Dorothy!"

"There's a foxtail grass here!"

“Pina… Donas…”

Doro's attention was drawn to everything in sight, and he excitedly called out to his companions, urging them to look in the direction he was pointing.

Dorothy is also a doro, and she also loves natural scenery, but her way of expressing it is different from that of Doraemon.

A few steps ahead, a foxtail grass was growing.

Dorothy didn't yell or scream to express her emotions.

It quietly took out its phone and took a picture of the foxtail grass.

In big cities, foxtail grass is extremely rare. You might only find one plant after exploring several blocks of green belts, and it will be wilted.

Such a rare item must be photographed to remember the moment, so I can share it with Sister Su when I get back!
Focus, metering, composition.

Dorothy paused for a moment to take photos until she got the one she was most satisfied with, then put her phone away, a slight smile playing on her lips.

When Dorothy was taking photos, Donas stood quietly to the side to avoid appearing in the frame and interfering with the final result.

now,

Dorothy's photoshoot is over.

Donas, quick as a flash, pulled up the entire foxtail grass before Pina could.

Foxtail grass is shaped like an ear of wheat; holding it in your mouth can showcase the demeanor of a very skilled master!

When she lived in Qingcheng Nature Reserve, Donas often picked foxtail grass as decorations and patrolled the medical university campus.

Pina used to live in Bincheng, and her upbringing was similar to that of Donas, and they shared some of the same behavioral habits.

It also wanted to pick foxtail grass to put in its mouth as an ornament, but Donas beat it to it.

"Whoo~"

With a soft sigh, Pina didn't say much, her expression remaining calm, only showing a hint of regret.

Its mind is more mature than that of the Doro.

Pina didn't care at all about missing a chance to pick up a foxtail grass; her mind immediately shifted to other things.

Looking out into the distance,

A suitable spot for a picnic came into view.
Pina couldn't wait and ran over as fast as she could.

With a light "tap-tap" sound as its feet touched the ground, its figure appeared and disappeared among the trees, and in the blink of an eye, it darted to the stream.

Wow! There really is a stream! And the water is deep enough to be safe!
Completely disregarding the fact that the river water would wet her fur, Pina plunged into the stream with a "plop" and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The river is half a meter deep and the current is quite fast, which is actually quite dangerous.

but,

For Pina, a half-meter-deep stream was practically no different from a swimming pool, posing absolutely no danger.

Before the doro could recover,

They didn't even have time to worry about Pina.
Pina had poked her head out from more than ten meters downstream from where she entered the water.

Soaked to the bone, the downy fur clung to its body, smooth as silk.

Barely managing to straighten her back in the water, Pina mustered all her strength to move a large, pebble-like object, attempting to bring it back to shore.

When they noticed that Pina was having a hard time carrying things, Doro and Donas immediately ran over to help.

But as soon as they approached the riverbank,
Doro suddenly felt the urge to retreat.
It felt that the current of the stream in front of it was too fast and too dangerous.

Not daring to go into the river to help Pina herself, Doroe whimpered twice, pressed her ears to the back of her head, and gently poked Donas's arm, hoping that it would go into the river in her place.

"Donas." "You are the most powerful Grand Marshal in our Doro!"

"If it's alright, could you please go down into the river and help Pina? Hehe~." Doro grinned and asked, hoping not to be refused.

Helping her partner is a good thing, and even if Doro didn't ask her, Donas would still be willing to help Pina.

however,
As soon as Donas's feet touched the water,
It immediately pulled its legs back, away from the river, and sadly lowered its head to gaze at the water.

It's not that Donas can't swim or isn't afraid of water; she simply doesn't want her downy fur to get wet.

It's really uncomfortable to be all wet!

It takes at least half an hour to dry your body in the sun!
It'll interfere with my lunch break!

Feeling conflicted, Donas scratched her head awkwardly and grinned at Doro: "I believe Pina can do it on her own. How about we wait and see? Or maybe we can send someone else. He has long legs, so the river only reaches his calves."

Without making excuses, Donas sincerely expressed her desire to "not be stained with wet down."

Doro understood Donas's concerns.

Actually, it also hates the feeling of its downy fur being wet.

Dorothy, too, dislikes getting her body wet unnecessarily.

Because the doro live in the real world, their life as strays before being adopted made it extremely difficult to avoid the rain. Once their fur gets wet, the low nighttime temperatures make the cold even harder to endure than hunger!

Being adopted would be much better.

Once inside the house, you can take a hot shower; it's warm and comfortable.

Now that they are temporarily returning to nature, the doro are once again prioritizing keeping their downy feathers dry and avoiding going into the river whenever possible.

Pina didn't mind not getting help from her companions and worked hard to carry the spoils of war on her own.

—Clam!
Pina, panting heavily, used her experience to bend over and lower her center of gravity so that the clam wouldn't have to exert too much effort to lift it.

Dorothy is intelligent and well-read; she has recently learned about the physics of buoyancy.

The buoyancy of the liquid can offset some of the weight, reducing the difficulty of transporting the freshwater mussels.

Learning knowledge solely through books or texts is bound to be insufficient; practical experience is essential.

this moment,
I witnessed firsthand how Pina used her experience to move river clams using buoyancy.
Dorothy's eyes lit up instantly, as she gained a thorough understanding of the knowledge about buoyancy.

"Wow!"

"Pina, you're so clever! You actually know how to use buoyancy?"

“The big seashell is heavy. Can you carry it ashore? If you need a hand, let us know and we’ll go down into the river to help.” Dorothy walked to the other side of Dorothy and called out to Pina, who was about to come ashore, ready to go into the water at any time.

Although she doesn't want to get wet, Dorothy would definitely choose to go into the water if Pina urgently needed help.

Doraemon and Donas shared the same idea.

They clapped and shouted encouragement to Pina.

Before long, Pina successfully carried the large clam ashore, panting heavily from exhaustion, and collapsed onto the muddy ground.

Just now, it went underwater.

Pina found there were quite a lot of fish.

But they were all pitifully small.

The river mussels are exceptionally large, and their flesh looks very plump and delicious; they might even contain pearls.

So Pina decided to catch some river clams first, to add a side dish to her picnic lunch.

Now that she had successfully caught a clam, Pina proudly tilted her head back, hands on her hips, her face beaming with an air of "I'm awesome, aren't I?"

When it comes to fishing, the Doro people genuinely admire Pina.

They caught two big fish as a gift when they first met.

I easily caught another river clam today.
Wow, that's amazing!

Doro's eyes gleamed with admiration. His mouth gaped open, his chin forming a V-shape, and he gave Pina a thumbs-up. "Pina, you're amazing! Such a big clam shell! Enough for us to eat until we're stuffed..."

As he gestured the outline of the large river clam, Doro swallowed hard, eager to taste the clam meat.

Upon hearing this, Pina shook her head and waved her hand in rejection.

"You can't eat clam meat!"

"Especially wild river clams, which may contain parasites, even when cooked, may not be effective."

"Don't be fooled by the size of these clams; only the scallop part is edible, not enough for a main meal. Hmm... I'll use the clam meat to create a feeding area to attract big fish, then I'll catch some for you to grill."

After saying that, Pina shook her body back and forth, the movement like a pet dog shaking off water to dry its fur. (End of Chapter)
