The sky was gloomy, the dark clouds were pressing down very low, and the birds were listless.

Lin Yiwen crawled out of the nest, and it might be raining.

It is normal to rain. He has experienced several events in the past ten days, but it is about thunderstorms, crackling and stopping in less than half an hour.

But today's situation seems to be a little different.

There is no sense of stuffiness. Looking around, the whole sky is dark and there is no gap.

Could it be that the legendary rainy season has arrived?

Lin Yiwen didn't know and was very worried.

His nest is an abandoned bird's nest, built on tripartite branches, with an opening on the side, an oval shape, made of a mixture of branches and hay, with large tracts of leaves on the top.

The showers that were before were nothing, but if they had to last for several days, it would not be certain.

The squirrels also realized something was wrong. They were not as active as usual, and they didn't even yelled.

The wind was a little strong, and the branches kept swaying.

The rain may not fall for a while, but you have to prepare in advance.

Lin Yiwen thought about it and said two things.

First, store food.

If the rainy season comes, his little body will not be able to withstand the toss and go back and forth every day, and he will be afraid of getting sick.

Moreover, it rains and the fruits are prone to rot. If the next ten days and half a month are gone, I still don’t know what the situation will be.

His goal is to compete with squirrels for food.

Pine nuts are easy to transport, have a long shelf life and can store a lot of them in the nest.

Second, repair your own nest.

The showers can be prevented, and it will be quite dangerous in the next few days. It will be uncomfortable to soak in water.

The first priority is naturally to find food storage.

Lin Yiwen flew straight to the pine forest, and his first goal was to be under the tree.

Now the food is abundant, and the squirrels don’t cherish it very much. They eat half of it and throw half of it, and fallen pine towers can be seen everywhere on the ground.

This saves him the effort of searching one by one.

Soon, he found a completely growing pine tower, and there were a few fresh pine nuts scattered beside it.

Lin Yiwen was overjoyed. After stretching out his six claws and picking them up, he took off easily, returned to the nest, and carefully placed it in the innermost position.

It’s not hard. A pine nut is only one-third of the body, and about half the bigger ones are.

It’s not that he is lazy and has no habit of stocking up food.

The main reason is that he is worried that if he attracts other animals, he will not even have the chance to fight back. He has done nothing and won't say that he will lose his life.

However, it was a mistake not to do it in advance.

Overall, it's good, but the bird's level is just that, and there are still a lot of gaps. If you have time in a flower shop, organize it a little...

There is no medicine for regret in the world, so I can only expect to say that the rain will slow down and leave more time.

So, putting down the food, he did not stop and continued to be a porter of nature.

One, two, three...a small piece!

Seeing the more and more pine nuts piled up in the nest, Lin Yiwen felt very accomplished and safe.

But the number is still far from enough. If it rains for the next twenty days, half of the nest will be piled up.

I set out again and could no longer find it under the tree, so I could only focus on the tree.

Crack, Crack, Crack.

Lin Yiwen struggled to bite the rough shell with his mouth, and the dark and shiny pine nuts exposed his small head. If he had squirrel's front teeth, it would probably be a hundred times easier.

The mouth is biting, the tentacles are moving, and the eyes are observing.

A tree hole was observed.

That's the squirrel's nest.

Lin Yiwen's eyes turned around and a sentence popped up in his heart:

Wealth and honor are in danger.

More than an hour passed, and I barely collected enough food for a day, which was too slow.

Squirrels and mice are all animals that are famous for hiding food. When I was a child, my grandfather said that in the winter of the countryside, the villagers would take hoes and look for field mouse holes. They would be lucky. They could find several kilograms of food in one nest, helping many people through the difficult years.

if...

Lin Yiwen stopped. Is the squirrel at home? Is there any food at home?

No matter what.

He temporarily gave up the pine tower that had been nibbled halfway, and flew up lightly and landed on the branches beside the cave.

To observe.

The closest distance between Lin Yiwen and Squirrels was about three meters away. The cute little guy probably discovered him, but he was not interested.

But there is no guarantee that his face will be close to his face. Will he stretch out his claws and deal with his slightly larger ephemeral?

It is impossible to be still. There is an advantage of compound eyes. You will not miss any information. While staring at the hole, you are also paying attention to the surrounding situation.

The wind is not calm but the waves are quiet.

Lin Yiwen slowly went to the edge of the tree trunk and pressed his body on it.

No movement.

Move again, reaching the entrance of the cave, and poking your head out carefully.

Good guy.

This pine tree is very big and can't be held by one person.

The tree hole is not a direct deeper as you imagine, but an elevator with a drop of about half a meter.

The diameter is about ten centimeters. I don’t know how it was formed. It smells like a dog that hasn’t taken a bath for many days. It’s not good, but it’s acceptable.

The master...is not at home.

This is great news.

Lin Yiwen looked up and confirmed that there were no squirrels nearby, and immediately started to act.

Treasurehouse!

The squirrels seem to love cleanliness, except for the fine hairs falling in the nest, there is no disgusting excrement.

Moreover, the dining room and the bedroom are still separated.

Soft pine needles and hay are made into sleeping mats, and not far away is food as high as a mountain.

Pine nuts, peanuts, walnuts, pistachios, almonds...

Lin Yiwen's saliva was over.

At this time, my stomach was already roaring, but time was tight, so maybe my master would come back at any time.

He ignored the pine nuts, there were a lot of walnuts outside, forget it, he couldn't get involved, try to grab the pistachio first, no, it's too heavy, I can't help.

Unfortunately, this thing is delicious and nutritious.

There are only peanuts.

Lin Yiwen easily nipped open the skin with his sharp mouthparts. He tried it and couldn't move the whole piece.

Continue to whine.

The peanut kernels quickly divided into two petals.

Very good, a little heavy, but still able to take off.

Lin Yiwen didn't dare to waste time, so he grabbed it and ran away, returned to the nest, put down the peanuts, his heart thrust and his chest thrust violently.

Nervous as if he was a thief!

One is worth a vote.

When I returned to the tree hole, I would observe first, confirm that there were no rats, and immediately descended and grabbed the other half.

So exciting!

Maybe this is just a place where squirrels hide their food, maybe there is enough food outside, the owner doesn't need to come back, maybe he's going out for a trip.

At the beginning, Lin Yiwen was still counting how many times he ran away, but later he got so dizzy.

During this period, he spent five minutes eating half of the peanuts and replenishing his energy. He did not stop all morning and worked hard.

The results are also very gratifying.

There are about fifty or sixty pine nuts, more than twenty pieces of broken peanuts, single digits of almonds, and a few small pistachios, which pile up the corners of the nest.

Lin Yiwen nodded with satisfaction and reached out to wipe his forehead.

Cool!
Chapter completed!
