Chapter 75 74. Pine and Bamboo

There are many good things to eat in the mountains during this season.

But in Huaiyu's eyes, everywhere she looked was green! If she continued to eat like this, her face would turn green. It was really so plain! After eating for a long time, she would feel empty in her stomach, and the more she ate, the more she ate.

Therefore, this time she went up the mountain with a clear goal, and went up along the almost undetectable tourist trail, leaving behind all the temptations around her.

Whether it's the tender Chinese toon, the sour Japanese knotweed that's easy to make sour soup, or the water fern that has grown tender leaves...

“No, no, no…”

Huaiyu strengthened his faith as he walked, because if he relaxed and bent down to pick wild vegetables, the wild vegetables all over the mountains and fields would take up another day.

She must eat meat today, she must!

When passing by the big pine tree, Huaiyu stopped to chat with his descendants who had not yet picked all the pine pollen: "Big pine tree, come back to pick pine pollen next time..."

"Do you know where there are rabbits or pheasants?" She hugged the thick branches of the tree, whimpering pitifully:

"I really want to eat meat."

The pine needles rustled, and a unique fragrance lingered around. After a moment, the branches shook.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak—”

A squirrel fell from above with a "pop", and Huai Yu quickly grabbed its tail and lifted it up.

The man and the mouse looked at each other. The squirrel looked at her with its dark eyes, and its fur stood up fluffy.

Huaiyu was also stunned.

No way? So polite?

The big pine tree swayed in the wind, making Huai Yu blush: "I want to eat meat, but I'm not greedy for it to this extent... You, your neighbors have been with you for so many years, just forget it..."

Besides, the dried fruits she had found before might also be the squirrel’s treasure trove.

If she works harder this year, she will have another harvest in the winter.

Huaiyu put the squirrel back on the tree trunk. Then he seemed to hear what the big pine tree said again, so he grabbed the squirrel's tail again as it tried to run away, and said viciously:

"Hey! Little squirrel!"

"The big pine tree said not to keep digging holes in it when hiding the fruit! What's the point of digging two or three and you can't even remember one?"

The little squirrel squeaked, not sure whether it was protesting or explaining, and finally it quickly disappeared.

After receiving the unique "squirrel comfort" from the big pine tree, Huaiyu felt much better.

It’s worthy of me!

——The big pine tree is willing to sacrifice even its neighbors for me!

With this joyful confidence, she finally walked to a deserted place at around three o'clock in the afternoon.

There is a plank road here, but it is now completely entangled with branches and vines. You can only vaguely see the anti-corrosion wooden floor under your feet that has been lifted up by saplings, as if it was once used exclusively for the scenic spot.

Looking down, there is a small cave with stone walls in front of us. It is spacious, deep, and sheltered from wind and rain. It is a good place to settle down.

Huaiyu looked around, silently made marks in conspicuous places, and decided to search in this area.

In this way, no matter whether we have any harvest or not, we can still make a fire and rest here tonight.

The upper and lower layers are all made of hard stones, so there is no need to worry about burning even if a fire is made.

There was a huge, strangely shaped stone in front of us, as if a person was raising a long, thin finger.

Huaiyu looked at it curiously for a while, then saw that the extension of the anti-corrosion wooden floor under his feet was quite wide. Perhaps this was also a viewing platform for the landscape!

It was strange, really strange. But why did I wake up on this mountain?

She couldn't figure it out.

However, memory was not as important as meat at the moment. Huaiyu looked around, trying to see if there was any relatively flat place other than the rugged rocks and cliffs, where she could find food.

Squirrels are not to be eaten, snakes are not to be eaten, hedgehogs are too small, right? Wild boars are even worse, you have to run away if you see them...

What about the rabbit and the pheasant? Why don't they take the initiative at all?

As she pondered, she carefully held the shovel and slowly moved forward towards a gentle slope.

As we walked, the view in front of us gradually opened up.

Looking again, it turned out to be a bamboo forest that was not particularly large!

It seemed that it had only grown for a few years, and the bamboo inside was not dense, and now there was even sunlight shining through. There were not many other plants underneath, which made Huai Yu's eyes bright.

Where there is a bamboo forest, there are bamboo shoots. Where there are bamboo shoots, there might be bamboo rats! If you can catch a fat one...

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

She became excited instantly and was about to step forward with a multi-functional shovel in her hand!

After all, the bamboo forest is empty and you can see everything from a distance, so it really poses no threat.

As soon as this thought flashed through my mind, the next moment, I saw thousands of bamboo leaves standing up towards the sky, and then each piece of bamboo leaves shot out in all directions like flying knives!

This style of fighting is exactly the same as that of the Rose Corridor!

But Huaiyu had never seen it before, she just thought it was too fierce. The "Duoduo" sound continued, and the trunks of the large trees around were already nailed with the half-remaining bamboo leaves.

Huaiyu:……!!! She silently retracted her feet and found that the battlefield was still some distance away from her. She quickly breathed a sigh of relief and shrank aside.

Is this bamboo forest so sensitive?

She was just thinking about it, and it reacted so strongly before she even approached it... Could it be that the direction of its mutation is mind reading?

Or did he sense that he had to dig bamboo shoots?

We can't even protect bamboo rats that we can't even see, right? I was still muttering in my heart, but over there, the circle of trees surrounding the bamboo forest suddenly moved.

No! It's not them that are moving, it's the ground that is moving!

Huaiyu hugged the tree trunk beside him and the multi-functional shovel fell to the ground.

The big trees that had just been attacked by the bamboo forest were swaying. The ground in front of them had deep cracks, and there were extremely thick tree roots protruding from the bottom! Those tree roots shuttled through the ground and grew rapidly. The direction forward was exactly the small bamboo forest.

Countless soils arched and fell, and the whole forest made a terrible sound! The land in front of me was shaking, as if some kind of natural disaster had reappeared.

Even the small tree trunk that Huaiyu was holding was ready to move, and she held it tightly with her hands and feet, fearing that she would be thrown into the ground.

At this moment, there was a loud and undulating "crackling" sound, and the land where the bamboo forest was located was completely broken up, revealing long, huge bamboo roots crisscrossing all around! As soon as the bamboo roots left the ground, the tree roots that were pushing them up quickly took root, as if they were afraid that it would come to its senses and occupy the land again.

Suddenly, the ground was littered with fresh, moist deep soil scattered all over the dead branches and leaves.

The air was filled with a faint smell of mud and dust.

The entire bamboo forest with lush green and upright trees was thrown directly onto the ground.

——It seems that I can’t survive! 　Update 2, good night. I haven’t finished writing the next one yet, I’ll wait until the early morning.
