Chapter 186 The Picnic Party Begins (2)
But today's meal is a little different from what we usually eat; we're going to have everyone searching and playing at the same time.
Lin Chunyi had originally planned to plan today's hunting trip.
Unfortunately, before she could make any arrangements, small groups had already clearly formed on the grass.
Peach and Reunion & Health are old friends who have been running around, eating wildly, and getting beaten up together for half a year, so naturally neither of them can leave the other.
The squirrel army numbered thirteen, forming a large, furry mass. Although they were somewhat outnumbered, their sheer numbers made them a unique force to be reckoned with.
Two lynxes were frolicking and rolling around on the grass, completely oblivious to everyone else. No one could possibly squeeze in.
Well, what else is there for her to assign? Let's just go together.
"From now on, keep your voices down and watch your surroundings. We're going to start looking for something to eat!" She took a few steps forward, and a whole bunch of people obediently followed behind.
Then she remembered the squirrels' vulnerability and told them, "If you and your companions get tired, you can climb onto our baskets to rest."
And if there's anything you want to eat along the way, we can pick it together. Don't go alone; there are many big ones here that could eat you in one bite. Understand?
The three little squirrels were so frightened that they clung tightly to her trouser leg, and the other squirrels also crowded around her, nervously looking around.
Lin Lanshan, carrying a basket on her back and holding a longbow, waved it in front of them and said with a grin, "Don't be afraid, I'll walk in front, and you walk in the middle of us. Don't worry, no one can catch you."
If you can't even guarantee the basic safety of your "guests" when you're hosting a dinner party, then what's the point of hosting them?
So she volunteered to go first and lead the way.
Although the two lynxes weren't very big, they were still skilled hunters in the jungle. So they weren't nervous or afraid at all, and calmly stretched out their limbs, walking side by side with Lin Lanshan in front.
The squirrels followed closely behind Lin Lanshan.
Lin Chunyi walked behind the squirrels, forming a visible protective circle for them.
As for Peach and Reunion, they walked on either side and behind her. Their pets had seen plenty of big scenes, so they weren't too worried.
The hunting party set off from the meadow by the stream, heading in the direction the water was flowing.
Before two incense sticks had burned, they passed a tall thicket of bushes.
The squirrels stopped and looked at the small yellow fruit hidden in the leaves.
The little fruit is round and plump, and it looks quite like a ground cherry.
Lin Lanshan lowered her head and asked, "Do you want to eat this? It's not poisonous, is it?"
"Squeak!" The eldest of the three little squirrels tugged at her trouser leg and climbed up her clothes to her shoulder. Then it jumped onto a branch, grabbed a fruit with its paws, and stuffed it into its mouth.
The other squirrels were envious and wagged their trouser legs longingly.
Having spent a long time with various animals, the two sisters have a good understanding of what most of their actions and eye expressions are trying to convey.
Are they envious of those who have fruit to eat?
Of course not, squirrels are incredibly agile climbers. If they just wanted to eat something, they could easily climb up and pick it themselves.
So their intention in wagging their trouser legs is quite clear: they think it's fun to climb on them and they want to play too!
So when the two sisters realized what they were thinking, they were somewhat helpless, wondering what was so fun about it.
They're not some rare tree branches specifically designed for squirrels to climb...
But when you go out to have fun, the point is that everyone should have a good time.
Lin Chunyi moved closer to the tree branch and said, "Do you want to climb up and pick the fruit? Come one at a time. There's not enough room for you to stand on if there are too many. We'll pick the rest for you later."
One or two is fine, but if they all climb on them at once, even if they can bear the weight, they don't have enough shoulders and heads to put them down.
Moreover, the branches of the shrub are so thin, they probably couldn't support the weight of a dozen or so squirrels.
The squirrels were only there to climb onto them, so if they could also get fruit without lifting a finger, that would be even better!
They eagerly climbed onto the shoulders and heads of the two sisters.
They all have four on their shoulders and one on their heads.
The remaining two climbed slower, and when they got to the top, they found there was no place for them. They grabbed onto Lin Chunyi's clothes around her waist and cried out in distress.
...These squirrels seemed to understand human speech, but also seemed not to understand it very well.
The fruit doesn't seem to want to be picked anymore; it just wants to climb on them and play. The worst part is, two are still missing and can't squeeze onto the pile!
Lin Chunyi felt as if she was carrying a huge rock on her upper body.
These squirrels look small and cute, but they're not exactly light-hearted.
"Sis, these are the last two. Let's each take one." Lin Lanshan sighed and grabbed one of the two from her sister.
She never imagined that she would become so popular one day.
and many more,
The "welcome" was a bit too heavy, so she had to move her shoulders and neck to adjust her posture.
The final result is...
There was another one perched on the back of one person's neck.
The squirrels stood contentedly on them, squeaking and chirping happily.
The two sisters, burdened with the weight, also had to do hard labor, picking yellow fruits for them to put into bamboo baskets.
The basket was full; after giving two or three to the squirrels to eat, the rest were put back in the storage space.
The little squirrels have already reaped their harvest today, but the others haven't yet!
Continue to the next place.
Unlike before, the squirrels discovered that standing on them was actually quite fun, so none of them wanted to get down.
The two sisters had no choice but to carry baskets on their backs, along with a bunch of squirrels.
As for the larger squirrel that came down from the bush and found there was no place for it anymore.
It's so smart!
I don't know when they became friends, but it's standing right on top of Peach.
He looks like a little general, so majestic...
After walking another five or six hundred meters, the two sisters discovered a small, light blue pool of water.
Above the pool is a natural water outlet formed by several huge rocks. When the stream rushes down, it forms a small waterfall that flows into the pool.
The pool contains clearly visible pebbles of all sizes and countless swimming fish.
The two lynxes were so attracted by the fish that they couldn't move and jumped onto a large rock near the pool, one after the other.
Even An An and Kang Kang had the idea of going into the water.
The water in November already had a chilling coldness, so the Lin sisters couldn't possibly go down with them.
But how could they miss out on such a group activity!
Lin Lanshan looked up and saw that the sun was shining so brightly today that it felt warm on her face.
I reached out and tested the water temperature again. It was alright; not as cold as it looked. These little guys with their own protective fur should be fine in the water.
Once she had an idea, she immediately took action and began to give instructions: "Peach, Tuan Tuan, and Yuan Yuan, you and the little squirrels stay here and watch over our things. Don't go into the water."
One by one, the little squirrels obediently got off them and stood quietly beside Peach and Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan, curiously craning their necks to see what she would do next.
