Chapter 53: Repairing the Tree Hole
The little squirrel put the pine cones it picked up back into the tree hole, and the pine cones rolled to the ground along the hole in the tree hole.
The little squirrel hurriedly climbed down the tree, picked up the pine cones on the ground, and climbed up the tree again. Halfway through the climb, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to look down -
! !
The squirrel froze. When did two Twolegs stand under the tree?
"Hello." Brother Nan waved friendly.
"Wow!" the little squirrel shouted, and his figure turned into a bolt of lightning and got into the tree hole.
"Why doesn't it work? You don't greet animals like this." Brother Nan buckled his head and looked back at Li Mu.
[The little squirrel picking up pine cones and then dropping them is 100% funny. The little squirrel picking up pine cones only to find someone halfway up the climb is 1000% funny! 】
[One more thing, Brother Nan was so scared that he lost the pine cones in his hand and hid in a tree hole, which was 10086% funny]
Li Mu silently walked forward and stood with Brother Nan, looking up at the tree hole, "We are just passing by, there is no harm."
After a while, a small head stuck out of the tree hole, staring at the two people under the tree with a pair of beady eyes.
The little squirrel was a little hesitant. It was a two-legged beast that he had never seen before.
But the two-legged creature that just spoke had a very comfortable smell about it that made it want to get close to it.
The little squirrel slowly leaned out half of its body, and suddenly swooped into the hole again, as if it had seen something terrible.
"Hey, why did you shrink back again?" Brother Nan turned to look at Li Mu, a little confused. He was ready to come out just now.
Li Mu pried off Yogurt's raised little head, "Don't be afraid, this cat is my friend, she won't hurt you."
When Brother Nan heard what Li Mu said, he blinked a few times, glanced at the yogurt on his shoulder, and nodded.
This feeling of relief from sudden doubts made her grin.
Li Mu always thought she was a loser, but in fact she was very witty.
The little squirrel in the tree hole slowly poked its head out again, glanced down, and then retracted.
"Don't you want your pine cones?" Li Mu once again knocked off Yogurt's raised head.
As soon as he finished speaking, the little squirrel leaned out half of its body. It had worked hard to save these pine cones for the coming of autumn and winter.
"We will help you mend the broken tree hole, otherwise your pine cones will still be missed."
"Aren't you here to steal my fruit?"
"No, we were just passing by," Li Mu glanced at Brother Nan, "I saw you looking anxious and came to take a look."
"Oh, you don't know, the wind was so strong and the rain was so heavy just now." The little squirrel let down its guard against this two-legged beast that made it feel friendly, and kept talking.
"Are all squirrels so talkative? What are you talking about?" Brother Nan turned to ask Li Mu. The squirrel kept barking, which she couldn't understand, but the look was familiar to her, and it was very similar to the mother she talked about after staying at home for a long time.
[Why does it feel like the squirrel is talking to the anchor? 】
【Is this a squirrel? I didn't look at my phone just now, I just heard the voice and thought the anchor had given birth to a puppy. 】
[I imagined the squirrel would be the kind that squeaks or chirps, but I never expected it to sound like a dog barking (surprise)]
[Following the anchor has refreshed my knowledge a lot, like the golden eagle, which looks majestic, but turns out to sound like a chicken. 】
Li Mu also didn't expect that this little squirrel was actually a talkative person.
Fortunately, he extracted the reason why the pine cones were scattered all over the ground among the squirrel's nonsense.
The strong wind that blew just now picked up gravel and smashed it around the tree hole.
The tree hole was already eroded by borers and became a little fragile. When it was hit by gravel, the hole opened. The pine cones stored by the squirrel in the hole fell to the ground along the hole.
Li Mu briefly explained the reason to Brother Nan.
"Oh." After hearing this, Brother Nan looked at the pine cones on the ground and bent down to pick them up one by one.
The little squirrel also climbed down the tree, but just halfway down, it suddenly stopped again.
"It's okay. Let's help you pick up the pine cones and put them in a pile first. Otherwise, they will be scattered everywhere and rabbits or rats will come and snatch them away from you."
Li Mu pushed the kitten's head to the side for the fourth time, "Come off if you want, she won't hurt you."
The little squirrel slowly got down the tree little by little, and when it saw that the cat was still squatting on the Twoleg's shoulder, it relaxed and began to pick up pine cones on the ground.
I don’t know how long the little squirrel had been saving it. The pine cones were mixed with the seeds of other trees and piled up in a pile.
"No, if you don't mend the hole, it will still leak out." Brother Nan looked up at the tree hole, his eyes rolling.
The squirrel's tree hole is six or seven meters above the ground, and the tree is so thick that it can't be hugged with one hand, making it impossible to climb.
The little squirrel squatting aside also raised his head, looking at the home where the pine cones were leaking and became worried. "Yes!" Brother Nan's eyes lit up and he thought of a way. He turned to ask Li Mu, "Did you bring a climbing rope?"
"I'm taking it with me." Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Brother Nan meant.
Li Mu put down the yogurt, opened his hiking bag, and took out the climbing rope.
Brother Nan took out the drone, wrapped one end of the climbing rope around the drone, and controlled the drone to fly to the fork of the big tree.
I chose a strong and thick branch, wrapped it with the drone, and flew down with the rope.
Li Mu took the climbing rope off the drone, wrapped it twice around the tree trunk, and tied a single tightening knot.
After tying the knot, Li Mu pulled hard a few times and said, "No problem, it's very strong."
"Well." Brother Nan walked to the rope hanging from the branch, "I don't know how big the hole is. I'll go up and take a look first."
"Let me go."
"You haven't trained." Brother Nan grabbed the rope with both hands. "You watch from below. Don't forget to catch me if I fall."
After saying that, Brother Nan exerted his strength with both hands, hooked his feet on the rope, and climbed up quickly.
[Is this a single rope climb? 】
[Why didn’t I think of this? I was worried about how to go up without a ladder (laughing)]
[So many people know about single rope climbing? There are many comrades in the live broadcast room. Is there Lao Lu? 】
[I am a fire fighter, and single rope climbing is a must practice (laughing while covering my face)]
[Brother Nan is awesome, his core strength is so strong, he can climb so fast! 】
[Here I go, are all the forest police officers like this now? This speed and core strength are really strong (smacks tongue)]
Brother Nan climbed very quickly and soon reached the tree hole. She looked at the gaping hole and slid down the rope.
"It's okay, it's just a small crack." Brother Nan clapped his hands, looked around, and muttered in a low voice, "I don't have any tools or foam glue, so what should I use to plug it up?"
"Use wood."
"wood?"
"Chip the wood to the size of the crack and smash it in."
"Oh!" Brother Nan turned his head in surprise, "Yes, yes, you have become smarter after staying with me for a long time."
"."
Li Mu cut a piece of wood from a nearby bush and cut it into a wooden strip according to the size of the crack described by Brother Nan.
"When I go up this time, I'm just cutting the wood roughly. I still need to go up to compare the details." Li Mu put the knife on his waist and grabbed the rope.
"I'd better go up there, you haven't trained me."
Li Mu didn't wait for Brother Nan to finish speaking, and climbed up with both hands.
"Hey, look at your thin skin and tender flesh, you are quite strong." Brother Nan raised his head and smiled.
After coming up, I saw the tree hole of the little squirrel. The tree hole was deep but very clean. There were no rotten leaves or the like as expected.
Li Mu took out a piece of wood and compared it with the crack, then used a knife to cut off some more, then aimed at the crack, smashed it in with the handle of the knife, and made it fit perfectly.
Cut off the excess and it will look unified.
Li Mu slid down the rope.
"Okay, okay, you can't even tell it's been patched up underneath." Brother Nan patted Li Mu on the shoulder.
"You can take the pine cones up." Li Mu said to the squirrel squatting far away, and by the way, he pushed the yogurt's head aside again.
"Isn't it leaking?"
"No more leaks."
The little squirrel made a whoosh sound, ran to the pile of pine cones, picked up one, climbed up the tree, and put it into the tree hole. He tilted his head and looked at the place where the crack was made. Sure enough, it didn't fall out again.
"No leaks!" The little squirrel was extremely happy.
Climb down the tree and stuff the pine cones into your mouth one by one with your little paws. When the stuffing is too bulging, you can climb up the tree and put it into the hole, and go back and forth like this.
