After stopping Master De, Meng Fei took out a pair of peculiarly shaped iron tools with several sharp iron spikes on them from his backpack.

"Meng, what are you doing???" Bear Grylls came over and asked curiously.

"This is a tool we use to climb trees. It's called a foot peg. It also has a cute name, cat claws. With this tool, climbing trees is much safer and more convenient. It not only saves a lot of effort, but also prevents you from slipping and falling from the tree."

After saying that, Meng Fei tied it to his feet and tied it tightly. Then he walked to the tree, looked at the treetop which was several dozen meters high, took a deep breath, and began to climb to the top of the tree.

When he was a child, he came to the mountain with his grandfather to pick pine cones, but at that time his grandfather climbed the tree and he picked them from the ground. This was his first time to climb a tree to pick pine cones.

However, after being transformed by his mastery of Tai Chi, his physical fitness has changed dramatically and he quickly climbed to the center of the tree.

At this moment, a little flying squirrel who was watching not far away suddenly screamed and kept making shrill noises towards Meng Fei, as if it didn't want Meng Fei to climb the tree.

"Damn human!! Get down from that tree!! Get out of my territory!! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!!"

Meng Fei thought the flying squirrel was afraid that it would steal its winter food, so he looked around and saw that there were several red pine trees around, and they were also full of pine cones. He stopped worrying and continued to climb towards the top of the tree.

When the little flying squirrel saw that Meng Fei did not retreat but continued to climb upwards, he suddenly panicked and hurriedly climbed towards the top of the tree.

At this time, Meng Fei was halfway up and felt a little tired, so he stomped hard on the tree trunk with his feet, and the sharp thorns on the trunk pierced into the trunk fiercely. Then Meng Fei stomped hard a few more times, and when he saw that he had stepped firmly on the trunk, he pressed his body against the trunk, and the whole person was fixed on the tree like a panda.

At this time, Meng Fei's thrilling operation was naturally transmitted to the live broadcast room through the perspective of the drone.

[Oh my god! The anchor is a werewolf! He dared to climb such a high tree with his bare hands! ]

[Oh my god, I was so scared. Isn’t the anchor afraid of falling down? ]

[No, no, people with acrophobia really can't watch this! ]

[By the way, I read a news report before, saying that every year in Northeast China, dozens of people accidentally fall to their death from trees while climbing to collect pine cones.]

[Do I have to pick these pine cones? Is it worth risking my life? ]

[People die for money, birds die for food. Pine nuts are so expensive. If you can collect hundreds of kilograms, you will become rich! ]

Seeing the comments in the live broadcast room, Meng Fei took a deep breath and slowly said to everyone:

“The news that the fan just mentioned is true. Every year, many people die from falling from trees while trying to pick pine cones. But even so, there are still many people who continue to join this industry every year.

I think...if their family conditions were better...they would not choose this dangerous job. In our Greater Khingan Range, there are many remote small mountain villages and small forest farms. Because they are located deep in the mountains, there is very little land that can be reclaimed.

Most of their annual income comes from this deep mountain. When the year is good, they may collect more mountain products and sell them for more money, but if it is a disaster year, they may have to tighten their belts to survive all year.

The pine cones are their biggest source of income in a year. Although it is dangerous, they have to take the risk in order to buy an extra pound of meat for the elderly at home, a decent dress for their wives, and a beautiful school bag for their daughters.

As Meng Fei spoke, his eyes began to become moist. Ever since he was picked up by his grandfather and brought back to Mengjiagou, three villagers in Mengjiagou had died from falling off trees while picking pine cones.

Among them is Qiubo's father...

Thinking of the strong man with dark skin, big white teeth and a bright smile all day long, Meng Fei sighed deeply.

After Meng Fei finished speaking, the live broadcast room was quiet for a long time, and finally someone broke the silence.

[Sorry, host, I shouldn’t have said that just now...]

[Alas...If possible, who wouldn't want to live in peace and happiness? ]

[We watched the live broadcast and thought that this profession of mountaineering was quite happy, but after what the anchor said, it was really quite dangerous.]

[Yeah, let’s not talk about anything else, just the beasts in the host’s house, if it was someone else, they would have been dead long ago. ]

[Okay, let’s not disturb the host and just watch quietly. ]

[Yes, yes, yes, everyone will be automatically muted, don’t distract the host. ]

Seeing that the live broadcast room suddenly became quiet, Meng Fei stretched his neck and continued to climb towards the treetop.

At this moment, several faint cries suddenly came into Meng Fei's ears.

Meng Fei was stunned. The figure seemed to be near him.

Thinking of this, Meng Fei hugged the tree trunk tightly and slowly moved to the other side of the trunk.

However, at this moment, the little flying squirrel had already climbed to the top of the tree, leaped suddenly, and glided towards Meng Fei at a rapid speed.

It just happened to fall on Meng Fei's head, biting and nibbling, and then pulling Meng Fei's hair to its limit.

(ps: Here is a little trick for everyone)

If you see a squirrel in the wild, don't rush to shout excitedly. Find a secluded place to hide and watch it secretly. If you can't see it clearly, you can turn on the camera on your phone to zoom in.

The little squirrel has a habit of storing food, and it generally does not leave its cave too far.

As long as you follow it, you can usually find its small vault where it stores food. However, this depends on luck, because they cannot dig holes by themselves. They usually use woodpecker holes or natural tree holes as their own small vaults.

If you come across a lower one, you can wait until the squirrel leaves, then quietly walk over and pick out the nuts inside.

There is no need to worry about the little squirrel going hungry after its warehouse is emptied.

Little squirrels usually have five or six small safes. Two are enough for them to survive the winter, and the extra ones will get damp and rot by next spring.

Moreover, the nuts in the little squirrel’s piggy bank are all of premium quality, and they don’t even look down on the ordinary ones.

I remember when I was a kid, Qiubo and I dug into a tree hole and pulled out eight kilograms of pine nuts and hazelnuts. Each one was big and plump. When we took them home and fried them, they were so fragrant that they were unmatched.

Although this trick is a bit unethical, it's really cool, hahahahahaha.

However, if you are discovered by the little squirrel while you are taking out the piggy bank, you will be in trouble.

You will be met with ruthless abuse from the little squirrel.

Although you can't understand it, you can definitely hear that it is cursing very dirty.

because.......

I have been scolded many times...
