Chapter 5 Autumn Rain
"Tick, tick..."

[Squirrel Calendar] No.60 In the early morning of the second day, it rained continuously.

The entire mountain forest was covered by rain, and the small animals were silent. Even the spotted woodpecker didn't know where to hide. Only the sound of rain hitting the leaves and the distant crowing of frogs repeated monotonously.

Tick ​​tock!

Tick ​​tock!

Tick ​​tock!

Slowly oozing out, slowly becoming full, the tension of the water drop gradually cannot bear its own weight, and finally turned into a drop of elf with a round bottom and a pointed top, falling from above.

Slap! ——Smashing on Lu Feng's forehead.

pat--!
pat--!
"Crash~!"

Pressing his ears, shaking vigorously to shake off the water droplets on his forehead, Lu Feng squatted in the nest, feeling very bad.

Not just one drop of water fell, but one drop every minute, which meant that the nest of pine needles and grass wadding was finally leaking.Once the rain intensifies, it is very likely that the nest will be completely soaked, and the food that Lu Feng stored in the nest will also be completely ruined!
A gleam of light shone through the sealed grass, Lu Feng moved the grass away, and immediately the cold light projected into the nest and Lu Feng's big black eyes.

Its daybreak!
The rain did not stop, and continued to fall from the sky, like a bead curtain covering the whole world.

Regardless of the wet fur, Lu Feng got out of the nest, crawled up the branches supporting the main structure of the nest, and went to check the damage of the nest.

The main body of the nest is woven with pine needles and grass stems, and the interior is lined with dry moss and grass wadding to keep you warm and comfortable. On the top of the nest is a bamboo hat made of countless withered yellow pine needles. It pours down at the inclined angle of the bamboo hat, and does not fall vertically, soaking the main body below.

At this moment, the bamboo hat exposed in front of Lu Feng was facing the tree trunk, and there was an area visible to the naked eye that was inclined at a different angle from other positions. Obviously, this was the reason that caused the leakage of the lower body.

"~~~"

With a few bumps of his nose and a few paws, Lu Feng finally gave up on the maintenance of the nest. Although he was used to the body of a squirrel and had the memory of a squirrel, Lu Feng didn't think he would have the skill of a squirrel, and he could make a delicate The nest was restored as before.

Returning the same way, Lu Feng came to the nest, shook his whole body violently, dried the fur containing moisture, and then got into the nest before the light rain soaked his body again.

Fortunately, there is only one leak/leak in the nest that is right in the area where Lu Feng rests and sleeps, and the hazelnuts stored inside are not soaked. Even if the water droplets from Lu Feng's forehead just splashed a few hazelnuts, it does not affect the whole.

One!
two!

three!

The fine hazelnuts that were carried back from the blue-gray shale belt the day before yesterday were stuffed into the cheek pouch by Lu Feng again.

Four!

five!

After stuffing the fifth one, Lu Feng picked up another one with his front paws, and put it down again after thinking about it.

The hole of the nest is only this big, and the newly dug tree hole seems to be only this big, so if you plug another one, you won't be able to get in, right?
The long furry tail rubbed against the nest wall, Lu Feng stretched his head towards the exit of the nest, a nose with a long black beard was exposed first, then big black eyes, and then - stuck?

Only fit four.

It seems that we have to run a few more times!

Not without regret, he took out one of the hazelnuts from the cheek pouch, and Lu Feng stretched his small head towards the hole again. This time, Lu Feng could feel the fluff on the cheek pouch rubbing against the grass at the hole, but there was no feeling of skin contact.

Well, passed without a hitch!

The bark of the rainy day is a little slippery, Lu Feng dare not jump like the sunny day, but chooses a more secure all-terrain sports mode.

Getting out of the nest, firmly grasping the bark with sharp claws, moving his limbs quickly, Lu Feng walked up the tree trunk, and came to the tree hole below within a few breaths.

Although the rain has not stopped, Lu Feng still insisted on stretching out his claws when passing by the [white board], and made a second stroke on the somewhat blurred [white board], and shook his body violently again before entering the hole to shake off the water drops. Just got into the tree hole.

Yesterday's diligent efforts to dig a hole allowed Lu Feng to taste the results today.

Passing through the tree hole, most of the living room has been dug in the center of the tree, which became Lu Feng's new nest. He took out the hazelnuts from the crop and piled them on one side. Lu Feng immediately turned around and drilled out of the tree hole.

The action must be quick. Although the nest is only leaking a little rain at this moment, the thousands of miles of dams have collapsed in the ant's nest. I don't know when the nest will be completely collapsed by the rain. It's better to be earlier!

One trip, two trips. . .Tenth trip!

In the end, Lu Feng no longer got into the tree holes and nests, and he didn't care about the slippery fur on his body. He just stuffed the hazelnuts from the nests into his cheek pouch, then climbed to the tree hole, and took the hazelnuts out of his cheek pouch. Throw it into a tree hole.

In this way, at the cost of consuming a lot of physical strength, Lu Feng shortened the transportation time a bit.

"Whoa-!"

Putting the last hazelnut into the tree hole, Lu Feng shook off the rainwater all over his body, and got into the tree hole, the drenched fluff clinging to Lu Feng's body, the chill of the autumn rain penetrated into the skin, making Lu Feng shiver.

very hungry!
This mouse must eat something, or it will get sick!
From dawn to now, Lu Feng was only busy and didn't eat anything. Although a little rainwater seeped into his mouth, it was just to moisten his throat.

"Knock knock knock——!"

Picking up a somewhat moist hazelnut, Lu Feng's front teeth started to move like a file, quickly gnawing off the shell, ignoring the fact that the nuts inside were no longer crispy, he gnawed and swallowed.

Lu Feng's spirit was refreshed by the food entering his stomach. He was used to three meals in the morning, lunch and evening. The stomach sac, which could not wait, immediately secreted a large amount of digestive juice, and at the same time worked hard to roll and stir, and sent it to the next link.

After the intestinal tract absorbs nutrients, they send them to the blood and send them to the whole body in time, so that the tired muscles after a lot of work seem to be reborn, and even the body temperature, which has been lowered by the absorption of rainwater, begins to rise, and Lu Feng's whole body is warmed up.

"Knock knock knock..."

Of course one hazelnut is not enough, Lu Feng picked up a hazelnut again and began to eat it.However, with food in his stomach and no panic in his heart, Lu Feng, the second hazelnut, was naturally not as fierce and hasty as before, but chewed more carefully so that the body could digest it more easily.

"Scratch~scratch~"

After filling the stomach, the hair on Lu Feng's body also dried slowly. Turning his head down, scratching the fluff on the belly, Lu Feng began to clean the hair for himself.

When I was a human, I also accompanied my friends into the pet shop several times. There were special bath sand for squirrels, hamsters and other small rodents. Lu Feng saw with his own eyes that the little hamsters took a pleasant bath with bath sand. After washing, The fur all shone with a healthy luster, as if waxed.

It would be nice to have bath sand.

At this moment, Lu Feng couldn't help yearning for a tub of bath sand beside him.
