Chapter 232: A Different Friend
After the beginning of autumn, the temperature difference between day and night is large. At around six in the morning, the forest is not only foggy, but also dewy.
Not long after going up the mountain, Yi Chichi, who was following Uncle Yaozi, got his trouser legs wet and most of his clothes were also wet.
The nimble and agile raccoon had its fur all wet.
Then, it refused to leave on its own and slid into Uncle Yaozi's medicine basket.
"You go down."
Uncle Yaozi, who was clearing the way with a machete, shook his shoulders, trying to shake it off. The cruel reality not only brought him heavy disappointment, but also earned him a slap from Dali.
Yi Chichi watched helplessly as the raccoon stood up on its hind legs from the medicine basket, raised its paw and slapped Uncle Yaozi on the back of his head.
The extremely loud slap not only stunned Yi Chichi, but also made Uncle Yaozi explode.
"You go on your own."
He threw away the machete, took the medicine basket, picked up the cat and threw it on the ground, determined not to let it take advantage of him.
The big raccoon meowed, and Uncle Yaozi said angrily, "It's no use for you to yell, just go on your own."
He didn't even need the medicine basket, he just took the knife and cleared a path ahead.
Yi Chichi sighed, picked up his medicine basket and held it in his hand. He said to the big raccoon with dilated pupils, "Cat, follow me."
I don’t know if Dali has realized the reality, but he walked close to her legs, wagging his tail.
That mouth never stopped making sounds, meowing and wooing without a break.
Until they arrived at the first medicinal herb site and took the medicine hoe to start digging the herbs, the big raccoon stopped, but started hunting.
Then, the scene in the forest changed into Yi Chichi and Uncle Yaozi, each squatting on one side and diligently digging medicinal herbs, while the raccoon jumped up and down in the forest catching pheasants, flying dragons, squirrels and other small animals.
The results of the battle... are hard to describe in words.
The Demon King Squirrel came back empty-handed nine times out of ten hunting trips, and only once did he catch prey, and it was an inedible prey.
Uncle Yaozi snatched it away and released it, which made Dali so angry that he started cursing.
"If you have the ability, catch a few more flying dragons."
Yi Chichi's eyes lit up. Feilong is really delicious. Once you have eaten it, you will never forget it.
"Da Li, we are counting on you for our lunch."
The big raccoon, who was highly expected, meowed, turned around and disappeared into the lush bushes.
The two people who were concentrating on digging medicinal herbs didn't pay attention to it at first, until they were about to change places, they realized that Dali took a little too long to be gone.
Uncle Yaozi immediately panicked and shouted at Dali in a hurry.
Yi Chichi pricked up his ears to listen for any movement. After waiting for a long time, he still didn't hear the familiar cat cry. He said cautiously, "Uncle, Dali might have walked a little far away and didn't hear it."
"…How long has it been gone?"
"About an hour."
There are many medicinal herbs in this area. Some can be dug, but some are too small to be dug and have to be left to grow.
Therefore, they pick the fruits selectively.
In addition, some medicinal herbs can be picked directly, while others need to be dug up with the roots, which takes a long time.
Uncle Yaozi murmured, "It's been an hour."
Before he finished speaking, he was worried, "Will it be in danger?!"
"Won't."
Yi Chichi has confidence in Dali, "Uncle, don't worry. Dali often returns home safely after not coming home for ten days or half a month. This time will definitely be no exception."
Uncle Yaozi was silent for a long time, and then he called out a few more times. Still getting no response, he picked up the medicine basket and said helplessly, "Let's go, let's go somewhere else and wait for Dali to come by himself."
"good."
So, the two of them changed places.
The big raccoon still didn't come back until around three o'clock in the afternoon when Yi Chichi and the others were preparing to go down the mountain, when it finally appeared.
It wasn't just a cat that came back, but a little friend.
The little friend is different from the others, he is a musk deer.
“Meow meow meow…”
When it saw the two people, it walked over with its tail erect and barking, its steps graceful and its posture domineering.
Yi Chi Chi Leng saw spirit and gain from its furry face.
The musk deer followed it closely and was not panicked when seeing people. Its clear big eyes were full of curiosity.
As the two creatures, one big and one small, approached, the two men stood there in a daze as if petrified.
until--
"en?"
Dali rubbed Uncle Yaozi's leg, and his voice was full of confusion.
As if asking him why he doesn't speak.
Uncle Yaozi looked down at it blankly, then looked at the musk deer, then retracted his gaze and looked at it again, "Is this the prey you brought back?"
Dali didn't understand and looked at him with his big round eyes.
Uncle Yaozi pointed at the musk deer and said, "I'm talking about this one."
This time the big raccoon understood. It turned around and walked to the musk deer and rubbed it against its left hind leg. The musk deer came to Yi Chichi as if it had heard some instructions and rubbed her.
This suddenness made Yi Chichi turn around like a robot and ask Uncle Yaozi, "Why is it rubbing against me?"
How would he know this?
He understood neither cat language nor musk deer language, so who knew what they were thinking.
But this is not important, what is important is——
"hey-hey."
He gritted his teeth and took the rope from the medicine basket, then walked over to the musk deer and neatly put it around its neck, "Take it home and raise it."
The musk deer with the rope around its neck couldn't stand it anymore and started to struggle. Uncle Yaozi said quickly, "Chichi, quickly feed it some of your soybean paste."
“Ohhhh.”
The musk deer struggled quite hard. Worried that both people and the musk deer would get hurt, Yi Chichi quickly took out soybean paste from the medicine basket, picked some lichens, dipped them in soybean paste, and fed them to the musk deer.
After smelling the food, the musk deer stopped struggling and opened its mouth to eat.
The big raccoon came quietly to Yi Chichi's medicine basket and stretched out its furry paws to take out her dry food bag.
Then, it took out a piece of dried squid.
These were the snacks that Wen's mother brought for her because she knew she was going up the mountain today. She also brought dried shrimps and other things. She didn't eat any of the dried squid because she didn't like it very much, and Uncle Yaozi also disliked the strong fishy smell of the dried squid, so he didn't eat any of them.
Now it's cheap.
Hearing the noise, Yi Chichi turned around and saw it happily chewing dried squid. He then looked away and continued to feed the musk deer.
As she was feeding the baby, she began to worry, "Uncle, there's not much sauce left."
"Leave some to hang it."
"Can it be fooled?"
"Try it. If it doesn't work, carry it back."
Uncle Yaozi was determined to take the musk deer back home to raise. It turned out that the musk deer didn't need them to carry it or hang it with soybean paste. Seeing that Dali was following them, it also moved to catch up.
As for the rope around my neck, I don’t know if it’s because I’ve gotten used to it that I don’t care about it that much.
From time to time, he would come up to Yi Chichi and ask her for food.
So, on the way back, the two of them kept picking mosses, lichens, berries and other things to feed it.
If you don't feed it, it will make cooing sounds.
When they were almost at the foot of the mountain, Yi Chichi remembered something, "Uncle, we didn't go to see the pine cones in the pine forest."
“I have.”
"???when?"
