Chapter 212:
In a not-so-dense forest, a brown-and-white ferret was bouncing and moving in the woods, and ran towards a tree with a very strong purpose.
Taking a closer look, you can even find that this ferret seems to be holding something in its mouth, propping up its cheeks and looking bulging.
Soon, the ferret with something in its mouth arrived at its destination, under a tree.
When he got to the bottom of the tree, this ferret, that is, Chen Xing, started to climb the tree, his limbs firmly grasping the trunk, his movements were very flexible and light, and there was no sign of falling.
After just climbing the trunk for a second or two, Chen Xing finally arrived at his destination—a hole in the tree.
However, Chen Xing did not hide in the tree hole in the next second, but continued to pull the tree trunk with what was in his mouth. Only a small head probed into the tree hole and looked into the tree hole eagerly.
Soon, a surprise flashed in Chen Xing's eyes.
It turned out that the real owner of the tree hole finally showed up, and a big fluffy tail swayed slightly.
Seeing this big fluffy tail, Chen Xing was in a good mood. He immediately spit out a few peanuts hidden in his mouth and threw them into the tree hole.
"squeak!"
Suddenly there were a few more peanuts in the nest, and the owner of the tree hole, the gray squirrel, let out a cry. It was obviously very satisfied with the gift. It immediately ran over and carefully looked at the few peanuts that fell from the sky. A pair of The little paw is holding the plump peanut shell and seems to be very satisfied with the state of the peanut.
However, the gray squirrel did not eat these peanuts immediately, but piled them all in the corner with a cherished look and arranged them neatly.
With the placement of peanuts, the other hoards of food in the squirrel's nest are also clearly revealed. All kinds of nuts are mixed together, but they do not appear to be messy, but orderly. It can be seen that the owner is a frequent Care for a clean and tidy temperament.
Chen Xing, who was at the entrance of the tree hole, saw that the gray squirrel cherished and loved these peanuts, and felt even more happy.
The gray squirrel in front of him was the gray figure that Chen Xing accidentally disturbed on the first day he settled down here.
Although the gray squirrel was disturbed by the sudden appearance of Chen Xing and fled quickly, Chen Xing obviously had no intention of taking this squirrel nest as his own.
On the same day, Chen Xing found another nearby tree hole to settle down, and was unwilling to encroach on this squirrel nest.
After that, in the first few days, the squirrel nest from which the original owner escaped unexpectedly did not welcome a new owner, and the original owner did not return, leaving it empty for several days.
It was because Chen Xing, the stoat, came to visit this squirrel nest from time to time. The piles of nuts hidden in the tree holes remained the same and were not stolen by other small animals in the forest.
After a few days, Xu Shidong's original owner, Grey Squirrel, found out that Chen Xing was not hostile to it, nor did he look down on its original nest. In addition, the nuts in the tree hole cost him a lot. If you give up the food that you have worked so hard to save so easily, I am afraid this winter will be very difficult...
Finally, the grey squirrel dared to come back alone one day, and added a little more weight to the grain pile.
After discovering that the gray squirrel actually came back, Chen Xing, as a ferret, did not disturb the other party for a while, but when he found that there were nuts nearby, he would always bring one or two of those nuts and sneak them into the gray squirrel as gifts. in the nest.
After a long time, no matter how dull the gray squirrel was, he discovered the origin of these gifts.
After a while, Chen Xing finally took advantage of these occasional gifts to formally meet the gray squirrel, and the other party was not so frightened that he ran away suddenly like the first time.
A ferret and a gray squirrel's faint friendship was nurtured in this way.
Today, when Chen Xing was wandering outside, he found a peanut field planted by humans. Although the mature peanuts in it have been harvested by farmers, some scattered peanut kernels were still left in the field and not taken away together.
It was precisely when Chen Xing encountered such a peanut field that he brought a few peanuts back with his mouth, and brought them back to the little squirrel as usual.
These few peanuts really made the grey squirrel very happy.
However, Chen Xing is only a ferret after all, his mouth is so big, and his claws are not easy to hold, so he can only bring a few back, and can't take more.
There are still a lot of scattered peanuts in the peanut field that no one wants!
If he didn't get rid of it quickly, Chen Xing was worried that the food that could keep the grey squirrels through the winter might be harmed by the mice in the field.
It would be much better to take the grey squirrel than to let Chen Xing, the stoat, after all, squirrels have cheek pouches, and they are also used to carrying food, so they can bring more peanuts back to the nest to hide. it is good.
Thinking of the peanuts left in the field, Chen Xing immediately called out to the happy grey squirrel, hoping that the other party would follow him.
Hearing Chen Xing's voice, the grey squirrel, who had gradually become familiar with Chen Xing and finally became a lot more courageous, didn't hesitate. He glanced at the food in the corner of the tree hole and quickly followed.
Chen Xing took the grey squirrel and ran to the peanut field along the route he had just returned, and by the way he was able to protect the other party.
There are really very few creatures here, and there are not many people who are bigger in size and strength than Chen Xing. Chen Xing has been living in this forest these days. It is very smooth, and he has never encountered any danger. .
In this way, Chen Xing alone can protect the gray squirrel in this land.
A stoat and a gray squirrel ran towards the peanut field, and the two seemed very friendly. If anyone saw this scene, the designated person would be surprised. After all, squirrels are one of the stoats' prey.
Soon, Chen Xing took the grey squirrel to the peanut field.
As soon as the gray squirrel arrived at this peanut field, he found scattered peanuts scattered on the soil, his eyes became brighter, and his mood was better. He immediately abandoned Chen Xing and went straight to the delicious peanuts. , Use peanut granules to hold the cheek pouch until it can no longer be stuffed, and have no choice but to stop.
Chen Xing, who had been full for a long time, also helped to bite two peanuts into his mouth, and took the gray squirrel to put the peanuts in his mouth first.
Then come to carry it again.
Put it back in the tree hole.
And ran to the ground to carry.
During the transportation process, Chen Xing occasionally found mice in the peanut field. Sure enough, compared to Chen Xing and the gray squirrel, the mice who have studied human farmland are more familiar with this peanut field, and naturally they also found Scattered peanuts left in the ground.
However, with Chen Xing, the stoat, these mice who tried to grab peanuts from the grey squirrel finally got unlucky and encountered a natural enemy.
Although Chen Xing doesn't like mouse meat, it doesn't prevent him from hunting mice when he encounters them.
When Chen Xing's figure appeared in the peanut field, the mice who were about to steal the peanuts immediately fled in fear, and they didn't even care about important food.
If the food is gone, there is no more stealing, but if the life is gone, there is nothing left!
The mice were "interested", and Chen Xing also caught one of the slowest mice to "kill the chicken and warn the monkey". After that, there was no need for any effort at all, and the remaining peanuts in the field were all covered by the gray squirrel.
With the help of Chen Xing, the big backer, the lucky gray squirrel has a large amount of food stock now, which increases the probability of going through this winter smoothly, and the mood will be happy all day.
After spending a lot of time guarding the grey squirrel to carry peanuts and replenish its food storage, Chen Xing did not feel tired, but still enjoyed it.
