Chapter 12 Collecting Pine Nuts
There are two pine nuts in the scales of each pine cone. The pine nuts growing at the bottom of the pine cone are the most plump, while those at the top are thinner. After excluding those shriveled shells that have not grown up despite being pollinated, one There are [-] to [-] pine cones with scales, and the best harvest is only a dozen or [-] pine nuts.

Lu Feng carefully peeled off the plump pine nuts from the bottom of the scales of the pine cone, and stuffed them into the bulging cheek pouches. The flexible long tail and Lu Feng's hind legs formed a stable triangle, supporting the body, allowing dexterity as The human forelimbs are freed to do more delicate and dexterous work.

The mountain breeze came slowly, blowing the drooping pine branches and swaying slightly.

Although the difference is only a few hundred meters, compared with the surrounding area of ​​the big pine tree on the top of the mountain, the mountain wind here is much gentler. Perhaps it was weakened by the trees all over the forest, and it just brushed the treetops gently, like a girl's breath. real estate broker.

One after another, Lu Feng became more and more courageous, and his movements on the slender pine branches became faster and faster. For each pine cone, Lu Feng only collected the most plump seeds from the lower part of the pine cone, and left the shriveled upper seeds Stay and expect them to fatten up with the few remaining days of late fall.

However, such careful selection also made Lu Feng's harvest not very complete. The sun was slowly heading west, and in the half of the day, Lu Feng only filled his cheek pouch to [-]% full, about a hundred pieces.

During the leisure time of collecting and crawling, Lu Feng also took a small bite of one and tasted the taste of pine nuts carefully.

Well, delicious!

Compared with the fried taste, it is a bit astringent, but it is a little more brittle!
It's just too slow to collect!
Throwing away the pine nut shells that had eaten the nuts casually, Lu Feng looked up at the sky, and climbed forward again, where a huge pine cone was waiting for his luck.

Cheek pouches must be filled before the sun goes down into the mountains!
Otherwise, the road back to the big pine tree will be difficult!
Thinking of this, Lu Feng's long tail was dragged around the pine branch like a safety belt, and his limbs moved forward and backward, and he had already climbed to the edge of the pine cone.

As usual, he fixed the long tail on the pine branch, forming a stable triangle with the hind legs. Lu Feng rummaged through the drooping pine cone pulled by his weight, peeled off the fat pine nuts, stuffed them into his cheek pouches, and bulged His cheek pouches are already bigger than the previous hazelnuts.

After all, hazelnuts are too big to fit a few cheek pouches, but pine nuts are much smaller in size and can fill the cheek pouches to the brim, bulging into two twist balls.

After picking the pine nuts in the lower part of the pine cone, Lu Feng straightened his body carefully, trying to see the upper part of the pine cone, but at the same time he leaned forward, a crisp sound came from behind his body.

"Crack-!"

Along with the sound, Lu Feng's body and heart sank!
Oops, the pine branch is broken!
The mouse won't just fall like this!
Before climbing up the pine branch, Lu Feng had just looked down at the ground. At this moment, he was four or five meters above the ground. Perhaps such data would not hurt those athletes, but Lu Feng is now a squirrel, a squirrel. A squirrel whose total body length is no more than a slap in the face, this height is enough to kill him!

The movement did not dare to be too fast, Lu Feng retracted his front paws little by little, retracted his straight body, grasped the pine branches with his forelimbs, slowly released his hind limbs, and stretched his legs backward.

"Crack-!"

There was another crisp sound, and Lu Feng turned his head slowly to look, but saw that more than half of the pine branch had been broken, revealing most of the white xylem and a red line in the middle, and only less than one-third of the xylem was connected with a layer of delicate bark connect.

Not urgent!Not urgent!
You still have time!

Lu Feng comforted himself in his heart, while still slowly stretching his legs and retreating backward.

The broken part of the pine branch is not far from Lu Feng's hind legs. He only needs to take two or three steps back, and Lu Feng can hook the trunk of the pine branch with his hind legs and stand in a safe place. .

The mountain breeze is coming slowly, like a lover's hand, brushing over the tip of the hair, shaking it mischievously slightly.

But for the pine branches that barely supported Lu Feng's weight, this was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"Crack-!"

"Tear--!"

"squeak--!"

At this moment, the pine branch was finally overwhelmed and broke suddenly. The impact of the fall also tore off a long piece of pine bark, and made a sharp cry. Lu Feng hugged the broken pine branch tightly with all four limbs, and closed his eyes in despair. !
"Peng--!"

The expected severe pain of hitting the ground did not come as expected. Lu Feng, who was hugging the pine branch tightly, only felt that he had hit a soft object, and then was bounced, dropped, bounced, dropped, and back and forth several times, and finally came to a stillness.

"Bah~!"

Before Lu Feng opened his eyes, a long wet/sweet strip swept across Lu Feng's forehead, and then he felt a strong force coming from the pine branch he held in his arms, lifting Lu Feng's whole body.

"squeak--!"

Quickly loosening his claws, Lu Feng let go of the pine branch he was holding in his arms, and then opened his eyes.

A long mouth that constantly chewed left and right was chewing contentedly with the pine branch that Lu Feng was holding in his arms. Looking up along the long mouth, Lu Feng saw a pair of pointed, long and slightly curved horns, and eyes with dumbbell-like pupils.

"Bah~!"

When did this goat appear?

However, thanks to the goat, the mouse was not injured!
Lu Feng breathed out, his limbs moved gently, and he had already climbed onto the horns of the soft-haired owner under him, his limbs hugged the horns tightly, Lu Feng looked around, and found several goats hidden in the mountains and forests.

"Bah~!"

"Meaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Calling each other, they slowly approached while eating, and finally several goats gathered under the pine tree.

This is a small flock of sheep. Lu Feng counted six goats in total, including one ram, three ewes, and two half-grown lambs.And it was one of the ewes that Lu Feng hit when he fell.

"Bah~!"

Apparently, the taste of the pine branches was quite good just now. After eating Lu Feng, the female goat who broke off the fallen pine branches looked up at the canopy of the pine tree beside her, but the lower pine branches had already been eliminated in the shadow of the forest, and the goats could not climb trees. I can only helplessly rub the bark of the pine tree with the corner.

"Whoosh-!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Feng immediately climbed up the pine tree again and flexibly climbed to the top of the canopy.

"squeak--!"

Sure enough, the squirrel should still be in the tree!
Feeling the sense of security brought by the shadow of the pine tree canopy, Lu Feng hugged the pine branch with emotion, but when he lowered his head, he saw the eyes of the female goat under the tree who had just eaten the pine branch and looked at the canopy reluctantly.

Well, in order to thank you for your life-saving grace!
This mouse will pick some food for you!
