Chapter 309: Sand in Legs
The world of deep mountains under winter frost and snow is extremely quiet.
There seemed to be no birds flying in the mountains. Except for the occasional sound of broken branches and falling snow, there was almost no sound of animals or insects.
Therefore, the sound of broken branches and falling snow becomes a kind of decoration of silence. Not only does it not disturb this silence, but it enhances it.
But the silence didn't last long.
As we go deeper into the mountains and forests, the altitude becomes higher and there is snow on the ground.
When the cat saw the snow, he jumped down and walked on his own. The sound of the two mountain kings playing and playing echoed in the woods.
When inspecting a red pine forest, Li Mu picked up many pine cones.
No one outside the reserve is allowed to enter, so no one goes up the mountain to pick up pine nuts. If you peel back the snow layer a little, you can see thick pine needles and pine cones.
Pick up a pine cone at random, and after breaking it open, there are full-colored pine nuts inside. If you take it to the market outside, it can sell for at least 70 to 81 kilograms.
On the way, we also met little squirrels looking for food.
At this time, the two mountain kings were not with Li Mu, and he had an affinity with animals. The little squirrel was not afraid and ran straight to him. Its big round eyes looked longingly at the pine cone in his hand, with two small paws. Rubbing it in front of you.
There is a feeling that I want to but am embarrassed to open my mouth.
"Here you go."
Li Mu smiled and placed the small pile of pine cones he picked up in front of the squirrel.
The little squirrel was startled by the movement and subconsciously took a few steps back.
He looked at Li Mu, then at the pine cone on the ground, and then at Li Mu. He took two tentative steps forward and stretched out his little paw to get it. When he was about to touch the pine cone, he suddenly retracted his paw. go back.
"Don't be afraid."
Li Mu stood still and looked at the little squirrel teasingly, "In such a cold day, other squirrels are sleeping in tree holes. You are the only one who ran out to look for food. It's because you didn't work hard to store food in autumn." , or have you forgotten where you store your food? ”
The little squirrel looked embarrassed and lowered his head.
"Okay, take these back and eat them." Li Mu shook his head and smiled, and stopped teasing the little squirrel.
"Really give it to me?"
The little squirrel said timidly, "Do you really want to give me your food?"
It understood how difficult it was to obtain food in winter, but the two-legged beast in front of it actually gave the food to it.
"Well, it's really for you."
After Li Mu finished speaking, he waved to the little squirrel, turned around and left.
The little squirrel saw Li Mu leaving and was stunned for a while. After coming back to his senses, he quickly looked around and ran to the pine cone. He picked up one with his little paws, broke open the pine cone scales, bit the seed coat, and took out the pine nuts inside. , stuff it into your mouth.
By the time all the pine nuts were removed from the pine cone, its cheeks had become bulging.
The little squirrel looked again in the direction Li Mu left, raised his head and smelled the air a few times, then turned around and climbed up a red pine.
It originally wanted to follow Li Mu to pick up the missing pieces. After all, it was not easy for it to get the pine cones buried under the snow.
Unexpectedly, the Twolegs generously gave it all to it.
What a lucky day.
It had memorized the smell of the Twoleg and would repay him in the future.
The little squirrel thought so and returned to his tree hole with brisk steps.
The cat looked like a kitten that had never seen the world in front of the snow. It refused to walk on a good path, but chose to go where the snow was deep.
Sometimes the cat's entire body is stuck in the snow, with only half of its head exposed.
But she played happily, often hiding in the snow without moving, staring at Li Mu and Brother Nan secretly with her exposed eyes.
Brother Nan played a hide-and-seek game with her very cooperatively.
He obviously saw her at a glance, but he pretended not to see her. While muttering to himself, 'Where did the yogurt go?', he looked for her in the snow, but he couldn't find where the cat was.
The two of them had a great time.
Li Mu silently watched them play.
The cat was buried in the snow. When she walked, it was like jumping in the snow. Every time she fell, the loose snow covering the weeds would submerge her. When she walked forward, she had to jump up again. That's right, it's so interesting. In the cold winter, the vitality is gone, the nights are long and the days are short. Along the way, most of the weeds in the mountains are withered and yellow, and most of the trees are bare. Only the pine and cypress trees are evergreen.
After playing all the way, when we returned home from the forest patrol in the afternoon, the cat seemed to have had its battery plucked out. It lay in Li Mu's arms and refused to leave.
By the time the pickup truck stopped at the gate of the yard, the cat had already slept for a while.
Li Mu gently opened the door and got out of the car slowly, for fear of waking the kitten.
However, Mao'er was alert. As soon as Li Mu got out of the car, she opened her eyes, bleary-eyed, and immediately turned her head to look around.
"Well, we're home."
"Yes, Mr. Yoghurt, please continue to sleep."
"How long have you been sleeping, Mr. Yoghurt?"
"It's been a long time."
“It’s been so long”
The cat squirmed in Li Mu's arms, looked down at the ground, jumped out of Li Mu's arms, and fell straight to the ground with a thud.
The cat was not afraid of the pain. He got up from the ground and walked into the yard. However, he fell over and almost fell to the ground several times.
"Sir Yogurt, be careful. Did it hurt somewhere?"
Li Mu felt a little distressed when he saw this, and quickly walked to the kitten and asked her.
"It didn't hurt from the fall, it was just that Mr. Yoghurt had sand in his legs."
The cat's expression was serious, but his tone was unconcerned, "It will become unstable if sand enters it."
"Sand? Where did the sand in our yard come from?"
"Yes, sometimes they will appear when I wake up. They are many small dots, just in the feet. They sway inside when I walk."
"That's it"
Li Mu felt relieved and said calmly: "My legs are numb."
"Can people do it too?"
"Me too."
"Can you do it too?"
"Yes, but rarely."
"Why meow?"
"Because I sleep well and don't press my arms or legs."
"Hmm"
The cat shook his head and continued to walk forward stiffly until he reached the small courtyard and chatted with the cubs.
Li Mu went back to the house, put down his backpack, and changed his clothes.
The cats and their kittens were hunkered down by the stove in the living room to keep warm.
"Master Yoghurt, why aren't you playing in the yard?" Li Mu went to sit on the sofa and looked down at the kitten.
"It's too cold on the ground in the yard."
Cat said and looked at the little golden eagle beside him, "It would be great if we, like the golden eagle, had a pair of wings. Then the forest patrol would not have to climb the mountain so hard. We could fly there with just one wing. Cold feet.”
"Yes, Master Yogurt, are your feet still numb?"
"There are still a lot of little dots, but some are missing." The cat felt it carefully. Although it was uncomfortable, it didn't care. "They will run away after a while."
"I have a way to cure it quickly."
"Meow? What can you do?"
The cat immediately looked up at him, his eyes bright, wanting to learn something more from him.
