My Father Budo Bear Master

Chapter 17 Busy Autumn

In the afternoon, Master Wu Daoxiong took Lin Yi to find Dongdongshu in the forest.

Dongdong Mouse is climbing up a tree with a fruit in its arms. Winter is coming, and it needs to decorate its nest and prepare enough food. Only in this way can it survive the winter safely.

For Pokémon in the wild, this is a sense of crisis engraved in their bones.

Not just Dongdongshu, every Pokémon must be prepared.

The juvenile chickadee and other bird Pokémon in the forest flew to the warm south early, and they would not return to the forest until the end of winter.

Seeing a person and a bear coming, the busy mouse stuffed the fruit into the tree hole, and then poked its head out happily: "Dongdong?"

Lin Yi rode on the neck of Martial Arts Bear Master, and Martial Arts Bear Master was carrying a basket with a lot of berries in it. He took out the berries and handed them to Lin Yi above, and then he passed them to the tree cave. Drum rat.

Seeing the delicious fruit in front of him, Dongdongshu was a little surprised: "Dongdong?!"

Lin Yi said: "Give it to you."

Dongdongshu looked down at the martial arts bear master below, and quickly shook his head: "Dongdong!" (There is no food outside in winter, you will be hungry if you give it to me, I don't want it!)
"It's okay, we won't go hungry." Lin Yi shook his head and patiently explained: "I like the gift you gave me before, and it helped us a lot."

"Dongdong?" Hearing the gift, Dongdongshu's ears moved.

Lin Yi took the opportunity to stuff the fruit into the tree hole of Dongdongshu.

Dongdongshu still wanted to refuse, but Lin Yi held the little paw with his hand.

"Please accept it, this is our little wish." He said.

"Boom..." Okay.

Dongdongshu thought for a while, then moved to the side, revealing the mess behind it.

"Boom!" (These are my treasures, if you give me tree fruits, you can choose three of them to take back!)
As the Dongdongshu got out of the way, Lin Yi finally saw the situation in the tree hole clearly.

Unexpectedly, the space inside the tree hole is very large, filled with various actions, including small stones, berries, bamboo shoots, and even half a damaged elf ball.

Lin Yi was a little surprised, and then realized that the characteristic of this rat is very likely to be picking up.

[Picking up: Sometimes you can pick up the props used by the opponent, and you will also pick up them during the adventure. ]
Pokémon with this characteristic will give people a feeling of collection addiction, and they like to pick up various things from outside and bring them back to the lair.

While not very helpful in combat, it is a very useful feature in certain situations.

Seeing Lin Yi staring at his babies, Dongdongshu's face was full of pride: "Dongdong!" (These are hard to find!)
"Very powerful!" Lin Yi took the second tree fruit from Master Wu Dao Xiong, and stuffed it into Dongdongshu's arms.

Immediately afterwards, the third, fourth, fifth, and until the last one ended, Lin Yi slipped off the neck of Martial Dao Xiongshi and was embraced by it.

Dongdong Mouse stuck its head out from the tree: "Dongdong!" (Haven't picked the treasure yet!)
Lin Yi didn't intend to ask for Dongdongshu's treasure at first, but when he heard this, he suddenly remembered the box of matches and asked, "Do you still have the gift you gave me last time?"

Last time... Dongdongshu recalled it for a while, then got into the tree hole and searched for it.

But it's a pity that it only found one of that thing, and there are no more.

Dongdong Mouse poked its head out holding a small stone: "Dongdong." (That one is gone, here is this one.)
Lin Yi looked up and found that it seemed to be a small pearl, but the small pearl could not be eaten or made fire. He shook his head and said to Dongdongshu:
"Forget it, that's your treasure, we can't take it."

"Dong dong..."

Lin Yi and Master Wu Dao Xiong waved at Dongdongshu: "Goodbye, we are going back!"

They still have a lot to do before winter arrives.

This autumn is destined to be busy for everyone living in the forest.

Lin Yi bid farewell to Dongdongshu, and entered the forest with Martial Dao Xiongshi again.

There wasn't enough food, and they had to find more.

In addition to food, it is also necessary to pick up the dead branches and leaves in the forest and bring them back to the cave, so as to keep them for fire in winter.

He and Master Wu Dao Xiong worked for a whole afternoon before they could barely fill up a corner of the cave.

When the sun went down, one person and one bear returned to the cave. After filling their stomachs, they lay down on the "wool bed" and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Master Bu Dao Xiong started to work on the big rock again.

In winter, the cold wind from outside will enter the cave through the entrance of the cave. If the entrance of the cave is blocked with stones, the cave will definitely be much warmer then.

Early in the morning, it took Lin Yi up the mountain.

Here, Lin Yi saw another completely different Pokémon ecology.

Most of the people living in the forest are normal-type and grass-type Pokémon, but in this mountain, there are many rock-type and ground-type Pokémon.

For example, lying on the mountain road, the Rumble Stone disguised as a big rock, surrounded by a group of small fist stones, formed a complete group.

There are also Pokémon like gophers and mountain rats.

They didn't show too much aggressiveness towards the sudden visit of a person and a bear. Most of them just glanced at it and went to work on their own affairs.

Master Wu Daoxiong observed while advancing in the mountains, selecting suitable stones.

Soon, its eyes locked on a stone that fit perfectly with the entrance of the cave.

"That's it!"

Master Wu Dao Xiong went to the big rock and squatted down. It stretched out its thick arms, and then exerted a strong force. It lifted the huge rock and brought it back to the cave.

Lin Yi followed it back home, Martial Dao Xiong placed the big stone at the entrance of the cave, but found that the stone was a bit too big, so he smashed the extra space with his fist.

The stone was embedded in the hole and just blocked it, but it was not tightly blocked, and a gap was left for air circulation.

Looking at his masterpiece, Master Wu Daoxiong was very satisfied, thinking that this way Xiao Wu would not be cold in winter.

With this stone, the woolen sweater of the braided sheep, and itself, it should be very warm this winter.

The problem of warmth is solved, then only the problem of food remains.

Taking advantage of enough time, Martial Dao Xiong took Lin Yi to run around, looking for something to fill his stomach.

Time passed quietly between the fingers, and it came to late autumn before we knew it.

The temperature began to drop, it was fine during the day, but at night, a cold wind would blow outside.

Using these three full months, Master Wu Dao Xiong and Lin Yi finally collected enough food.

Fruits and mushrooms of all kinds filled the cellars they dug out.

It was cold and windy outside, but it was very warm inside the cave.

After three months, Xiao Wu grew up again.

Looking at the food and Xiao Wu who hid in his arms due to the cold, Master Bu Dao Xiong felt warm in his heart.

"Let's just grow up healthy like this!" Master Wu Dao Xiong said silently in his heart.
