Tang Dynasty: The pot is tied to the duck nest, the little rhinoceros is here!

"I'm going to give it the whole bunch!" The little princess ran off to get the persimmons she had just picked.

"No need, Sizi."

"Why the duck?"

"The little squirrels are only looking for food to eat during the winter. Persimmons can't be stored, and they won't be able to eat them after a while."

"Oh, that little fierce Xu Qi something duck?"

"Sizi, you'll see when you look."

"Mmm~" The little princess nodded.

Jiang Fan and the two little princesses squatted under the tree to observe the squirrel. "Sizi, try not to talk, so as not to scare the squirrel away."

"I'm so annoyed," the little princess said softly.

Cheng Chumo and the others also squatted down behind, not daring to make a sound, for fear of scaring away the little squirrels in the tree.

If the two young princes become unhappy, the rest of us cannot afford to take the blame.

A pine cone fell from the tree, and the pine nuts inside scattered on the ground.

A little squirrel quickly climbed down the tree trunk and used its two front paws to scoop up pine nuts from the ground and stuff them into its mouth.

In no time at all, it stuffed its mouth full, making it bulge. The little princess was afraid that the squirrel's mouth would burst.

The little squirrel, its mouth stuffed full of pine nuts, disappeared in a few moments.

"Poor thing~ How come there are so many ducks? They're even bigger than the little duck!"

"Haha, it didn't swallow any of it, it kept it all in its mouth!"

Neither of the two little princesses understood what the squirrel was doing.

Cheng Chumo and Luo Tong, who were behind them, smiled and seemed to know what was going on.

Aside from the two little princesses not knowing, Li Lizhi also didn't know this.

"This squirrel is so strange. It puts so many pine nuts in its mouth without chewing them. It really proves the saying, 'Don't bite off more than you can chew.'"

"It's not eating, you're underestimating it," Jiang Fan said with a smile.

The two little princesses and Li Lizhi were even more confused. They had clearly put pine nuts in their mouths, so why weren't they eating?

"But it's already in my mouth!" the little princess asked in confusion.

"It just put it in its mouth; didn't you see it didn't chew or swallow?"

"Hmm~"

"It's storing food because squirrels don't have pouches or backpacks; they can only carry the food to their storage place with their mouths and save it for winter."

Li Lizhi laughed as she listened, "I didn't expect such a little thing to be so good at managing money, and even a bit thrifty."

After Li Lizhi finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Sizi and said, "Unlike you, you can't wait to devour everything you have to eat."

The little princess retorted, "I don't need candy~ You can buy it for me after the pot money is used up."

Jiang Fan ruffled the little princess's hair in a bun and smiled, "Yes, brother will buy it."

"Where did Little Fierce Xu put Seven's candy?!"

Jiang Fan wasn't quite sure either, and turned to look at Cheng Chumo and the others, "They're everywhere, right?"

Cheng Chumo nodded and smiled, "Yes, they're everywhere. Sometimes they're in trees, sometimes in the soil, and sometimes in tree holes. They'll hide in any place they deem hidden."

"Will it hide a lot?" Li Li asked.

Jiang Fan said, "Yes, they're hidden everywhere. Sometimes you don't even know where you've hidden them, and there are many that you can't find."

Li Lizhi nodded, then looked at the little princess and teased, "She doesn't seem very bright; she's quite like Si Zi!"

The little princess frowned as she looked at Li Lizhi, a puzzled expression on her face, and suddenly seemed a little insecure.

But still feeling that Li Lizhi's assessment wasn't authoritative enough, he turned to Jiang Fan, staring wide-eyed, and asked:

"Brother, isn't my little one smart?"

Jiang Fan and Cheng Chumo and the others behind him were amused by the little princess.

"Don't listen to your sister's nonsense, Sizi is the smartest."

After receiving Jiang Fan's affirmation, the little princess turned to look at Li Lizhi and said, "Hmph~ Sister, Guoguo is the smartest."

Li Lizhi usually enjoys teasing the little princess, after all, this youngest sister is really fun.

"Fan-ge is lying to you, you actually believe that?"

"Brother, I won't lie!" the little princess retorted vehemently.

Jiang Fan chimed in, "Si Zi is right!"

The little princess received Jiang Fan's affirmation once again, firmly believing that she was the smartest.

The two sisters exchanged a few words, and most of the squirrels in the tree had already run away.

"Where did Little Fierce Xu hide Seven? I want to see!"

Jiang Fan really wasn't good at this, so he turned to Cheng Chumo and the others for help.

"Can you find it?"

Yu Chi Baolin stood up, patted the dirt off his backside, and chuckled, "This isn't difficult; any of us can find it."

Although they were all descendants of dukes, they were quite mischievous as children, often going up the mountain to play and becoming very knowledgeable about the things in the mountains.

"We can't see the little prince in the tree, let's look for him on the ground!" Yuchi Baolin suggested.

"Alright! Let's look for it, guys."

Several people bent over and searched under the trees where the squirrel had been active.

A moment later, Cheng Chumo pointed to a spot where the ground in the woods was covered with a thick layer of leaves.

The leaves in this area are rather loose and slightly raised.

Yuchi Baolin walked over and took a look. "Yes, this one is more similar."

When a squirrel burrows inside to hide something, the leaves arch up, like this.

When Jiang Fan and the two little princesses heard that they had been found, they quickly came over to see.

"Where are you, duck~"

"Your Highness, it's right below here," Cheng Chumo pointed to the little princess.

"I want to see!"

Cheng Chumo carefully peeled away the thick layer of leaves on top.

There was a small hole in the soil, containing about a few dozen pine nuts.

"Hehe~ I really found it~ It's the little devil's favorite~"

Cheng Chumo took the pine nuts out of the soil, blew off the dirt and leaves, and asked, "Would Your Highness like some?"

The little princess quickly shook her head, "This little guy is too fierce for us~"

"It's okay, it might forget about it if it's hidden here, and it'll hide a lot of things anyway, so it won't make a difference," Cheng Chumo explained to the little princess.

The little princess shook her head again, pointing to the little nest on the ground, "No nest~ Put it inside~ Put it inside~"

Normally, as a foodie, Xiao Sizi's first priority would be to fill her stomach, but now she's already full.

In addition, I have a love for small animals, and I'm just curious and will just take a look.

Since the little princess had given the order, Cheng Chumo quickly put it back and covered it with leaves.

Anyway, it's been returned; whether the little squirrel can find it is up to the little squirrel.

"There are some here too," Luo Tong called out at that moment.

There is a hole at the base of a tree. If you peel back the leaves covering the hole, you can vaguely see a lot of things inside by the sunlight.

Luo Tong reached in and pulled out a handful of chestnuts.

Then I looked up and saw that it was indeed a chestnut tree.
