Early in the morning, Xiao Bai picked up his backpack and stuffed it with things: mineral water, snacks, bread, chocolate, yogurt, candy, spicy strips... He stuffed everything into the small backpack.
The little squirrel Song Bao squatted on Xiao Bai's shoulder, holding a paper-shell walnut in his tiny paws and crunching on it. As he gnawed, he looked at Xiao Bai with his black eyes rolling around. A look of disdain could be seen on his furry face: "It's just such a small bag, how can it be as useful as my cheek pouches!" Snap, snap, snap!
The shavings of the walnut shell fell all over Xiao Bai. He grabbed the little squirrel from his shoulder and stuffed it into his backpack without blinking, then zipped it up with a "click".
The little squirrel that was suddenly stuffed into the backpack: ·······
“Squeak—”
Mother Xiao, who was cleaning, turned around and asked curiously, "Was that Songbao calling just now?"
Xiao Bai patted his backpack expressionlessly and said, "You heard wrong." After that, he grabbed his backpack and walked out, saying, "I have to go on patrol with the teacher today. I won't be back for lunch and will be back later tonight."
Mother Xiao: "Patrol? No, why would you bring so many snacks for patrol?" Mother Xiao hurriedly chased after him, waving a rag, and shouted at Xiao Bai's back as he walked out of the door: "Bring Lai Fu—"
"Laifu, let's go!" Xiao Bai shouted without turning his head.
"Woof woof woof!" Lai Fu jumped out of its nest in a few jumps and caught up with Xiao Bai in a few seconds. Lai Fu has been busy squatting in the nest incubating eggs these days, and it has not been to the mountains for a walk for a long time!
"This kid!" Mother Xiao muttered to herself as she watched Xiao Bai and Lai Fu walk away. "These kids are really annoying. They're so busy every day that they're nowhere to be seen. Xiao An has been leaving early and coming back late every day these days."
"Okay, the kids have things to do, why bother with so much? They're already grown up!" Father Xiao walked into the kitchen carrying a bucket of fish, shouting, "I caught some fish. Let's kill them while they're fresh and cook them for the kids."
"We go fishing every day, but how can we eat all the fish? The refrigerator is filled with fish. Everyone in the family is tired of eating them. Even Lai Fu is disgusted with them!" Xiao's mother complained.
"This is for Xiao An. It's wild fish, so fresh!"
Xiao Bai, carrying a backpack, brought Lai Fu to the village square to meet up with the patrol personnel. This time, Xiao Bai went out on patrol with Zhang Kai, Xiao Yao, his uncle, and their martial arts teacher, and the team was led by hunter Datian.
The martial arts teacher's surname is Li, and everyone calls him Master Li.
This patrol is different from the usual patrols. Although it is called a patrol, it is actually equivalent to taking them to a farther place to eliminate some safety hazards.
Xiaojia Village, now under the leadership of the village chief, is governed like a bulletproof iron barrel. A provincial highway runs through the village in all four directions, east, south, west, and north, and east and west. Therefore, the village has established sentry posts at both ends of the road. The village chief also used collective funds to build small, five-meter-high towers at either end of the village, which are manned daily. When Xiao Bai first saw the towers, he was filled with questions: What's the point of a tower made of nothing but cement? Does it allow for far-reaching sight? Or does it allow for shooting arrows from above? But this isn't ancient offensive and defensive warfare!
Xiao Bai was puzzled, so she found an opportunity to ask the village chief this question, but the village chief just smiled in an unfathomable manner.
Xiao Bai:········
Okay, as long as the village chief is happy!
In addition to the east-west direction, there are high mountains in the north-south direction. There are also people patrolling these two directions every morning and evening, mainly Uncle Datian and his hunting dogs.
However, these patrols usually last about an hour and do not cover too far. But starting from this time, the village chief has increased the scope of the patrol. That is, Xiao Bai and his team will have to drive to patrol the nearby mountains within about 50 kilometers.
This... There is a provincial highway in the east-west direction, so we can patrol there by car, but how can we patrol in the mountains in the north-south direction?
Xiao Bai was rolling his eyes and complaining in his heart, when he saw the village chief pushing out a small cart of express delivery from the house next to the square.
"Come on, come on, who among you knows how to use a drone? We need drones for patrols in the mountains. Now is the age of technology, and we need to fully utilize the power of technology. Let's all learn how to use drones! These drones cost the village a lot of money, and they are the common property of the village. Each group should register to receive them when they go on patrol, and return them after the patrol."
"Village chief, what if the drone breaks down or is lost?" Zhang Kai raised his hand and asked.
"Whoever lost it has to pay for it. If the patrol team breaks it together, we'll split the bill!" The village chief glared and added, "You better take good care of it! This thing is expensive, and our village budget is limited, and we have many other expenses!"
Xiao Bai raised his hand weakly and said, "Well, Village Chief, didn't you say that the spiritual energy has revived? Do we have any other ways to patrol? We have to patrol a radius of 50 kilometers a day. Even with a drone, it would be difficult. Drones can't fly too far. We have so many mountains here. It's impossible for us to climb them all!"
Oh, that’s a good question. Everyone looked at the village chief with wide eyes.
The village chief tapped his cane and said, "Datian, you go ahead and speak."
Datian walked forward with his hunting dogs and took out a whistle. After the whistle was blew, a group of birds flew out from the big cedar tree in the center of the village, led by a green thrush.
After flying around the village chief's head, the thrush landed on his shoulder, combing its feathers with its yellowish beak.
