Chapter 146 The Red Squirrel Stealing Dates

Today the hail and heavy rain came suddenly and went away quickly. After twenty minutes of hail and an hour of heavy rain, the sky cleared up.

Hushi Feng’s team had enough to eat and drink and returned to Territory No. 1. Xia Qing packed up her things and went home. She carefully opened the door of the sheep shed and found that there were only three wolves and one sheep left in the shed. The first wolf and the other sheep were nowhere to be found.

The sheep boss, who was lying next to the injured wolf, raised his head and glanced at Xia Qing, showing no intention of standing up.

The wolf responsible for protection still stood in front of the two wolves, staring at Xia Qing with vigilance. Although the wolf with the injured leg still looked fierce, it finally made some progress - no teeth bared; the wolf with the injured waist looked calmly. He looked at Xia Qing and seemed to be asking her what happened.

"The rain has stopped. I'll take off the rainproof cloth, otherwise the room will get hot and stuffy soon." loss.

She bought the best quality tarpaulin, which was strong and elastic, so although the hail knocked down more than fifty greenhouse supports, the tarpaulin withstood the test and was not damaged.

In terms of crops, the worst thing was the transplanted cotton. Because it was not protected by a rainproof cloth, the cotton plant was smashed into half a bare pole, with only a few broken leaves hanging here and there. There would definitely be no harvest this year.

Although the big trees in the buffer forest also had many branches and leaves broken, the trees are still in shape and will definitely be able to recover. There is no need to look at the third area of ​​No. 49 Mountain. The situation is definitely similar to the buffer forest.

Diminguo must have been smashed to pieces and there is no way to save it. However, Xia Qing had already eaten and baked a lot of dried Dimin fruit, so she didn't feel too distressed.

The leaves of the yellow pumpkin that failed to be covered before the hail were smashed and most of the canes were broken; the two small pieces of red peanuts, six Dipao plants and two pieces of the sheep boss that were covered by a small shed in the territory Pastures, vines, and scattered edible plants were the last to be covered, and they were as miserable as yellow lantern pumpkins.

It seems that the chicken manure vine, red light peanuts and grass can be recovered, but the ground soaking is definitely over.

The batch of corn sown in late June had just been watered two days ago, so dozens of corn plants were blown down by the strong wind this morning. They could still be raised up, but all the mature potato seedlings were also blown down.

Some cotton bolls have been blown away, but those that can be blown away by the wind are not strong and will fall off in a few days.

 Overall, crop losses are not large.

The green lantern chickens have already begun to eat in the mud. The fish pond is deep enough and the hail has little impact on edible fish, so the animals raised by Xia Qing have not suffered any losses.

The biggest losses were caused by the solar panels. Because they were installed late, three of Xia Qing’s five solar panels were smashed by hail.

 Fortunately, she had just exchanged a diesel generator with the Qinglong Team. She hoped that Yang Jin would not increase the price of diesel, gasoline and generators because of the hailstorm.

Xia Qing went to check the cave dug a few days ago. Although there is no couch in the cave, the walls inside the cave are full of water, dripping down.

 It rained for only an hour and the cave formed like this, and it was impossible to preserve food. Unless the cement wall is cut and a moisture-proof layer is painted in the cave. Xia Qing was not sure how to deal with it for a moment, so he simply put the cave aside and went to work on other things.

After the sun rose and the temperature slowly climbed, Xia Qing opened the air vent of the greenhouse to let the crops breathe. Then I ran to the high **** to check out my green light orchard.

Grapes, passion fruits and peppercorns were all protected by rainproof shelters and were not hit by the hail. Apple and jujube trees had their branches broken and leaves rotten, but the main trunks were still there and they were able to recover.

 After looking at the jujube trees, Xia Qing started picking up dates. There were a total of one hundred and thirty-six green dates on the jujube tree. Hu Xiufeng only picked up a hundred and thirty-six jujubes, and many of them were washed away by the rain.

This is green light food and must be picked up.

Xia Qing searched Gao Po and Zhen Zhen and found more than a dozen green dates, but there were still a dozen more to go. How could the dates as big as walnuts be gone? Xia Qing didn't believe in evil, so he turned over rocks and dug into the grass to continue looking.

"found it!"

Xia Qing searched for more than ten minutes and finally found a big jujube hidden in the gravel. She cheered and was about to pick it up when she suddenly heard the sound of wind behind her.

She rolled quickly and drew her knife to resist, only to see a red figure fly past in front of her. The red squirrel wants to **** her green dates!

Xia Qing swung the knife and chopped it, but it was still a step too late. The fast red squirrel had already picked up the green dates and jumped up the tree.

Seeing the red squirrel squatting on the branch and stuffing dates into its mouth, Xia Qing became angry, "You are a little thief. You just stole tobacco, but you still dare to steal my food! Give the dates back, or I won't let you go!" "

The red squirrel stuffed the dates into its mouth, shook its big fluffy tail provocatively, turned around and ran away. Xia Qing immediately chased after him.

 After these few months of hard training, Xia Qing's running speed, visual and auditory capturing abilities have improved. Although she can't run as fast as the red squirrel, she can still catch the red squirrel's escape direction.

Chased from Territory No. 3 to District 3 of No. 49 Mountain in one breath, the red squirrel disappeared from Xia Qing’s sight.

Xia Qing stopped under the pine tree where the red squirrel last stayed, with his hearing and vision fully opened. After observing quietly for two minutes, he looked up at the tall pine tree next to him.

There was movement in the trunk of the pine tree. There should be a tree hole. This is probably the nest of the red squirrel.

　　After the rain, the surface of the big tree was slippery. Xia Qing was too lazy to climb the tree. He took out his pistol, loaded the bullets, and shot at the trunk.

Xia Qing used pointed armor-piercing bullets, which were specially designed to deal with evolved animals with rough skin and thick flesh. A deep hole was made in the hard-wooded pine tree.

 One shot was fired in, and the clicking sound in the tree hole stopped.

Xia Qing continued to aim the gun at the big tree, and said coldly, "Bring back the food stolen from my territory."

There was a rustling sound in the tree hole. Xia Qing waited for a while, but no squirrel came out, so he shot again.

Xia Qing's second shot accurately hit the spot where the first shot was.

The tree hole was punched through, and the red squirrel hiding in the hole eating dates screamed sharply, obviously frightened.

Xia Qing raised his gun and said in a voice colder than hailstones, "Return the food you stole from my territory, or I will split open the pine trees and empty your nest."

There was a rustling sound coming from the tree hole. Xia Qing's eyes moved up in the direction of the sound, and then he saw a red figure flashing on a pine branch about six meters high, and a green date smashed from the branch. Come down and land at Xia Qing's feet.

 It’s a big jujube that has been bitten by squirrels!

Xia Qing became even more angry and fired another shot at the tree hole.

 “Hiss!”

The red squirrel was frightened and threw out big dates one after another. A total of ten dates and five date stones were thrown out. Then, the little squirrel stood on the branch and looked down at Xia Qing, saying that it only took these.

It seems that it knows why it is chasing after it, and also knows that the big green dates are its food. There were five date cores on the ground, plus the one that was thrown down first and had a few bites. In just a short time, the little thief had eaten six dates of his own. If you don't teach it a lesson today, it won't be able to steal enough dates from the jujube trees next year.

Xia Qing aimed his gun at the red squirrel and said in a voice so cold that it dropped ice, "You stole and damaged my food. You must pay me compensation, otherwise you will die now."

The red squirrel might not understand what Xia Qing was saying, but it felt her anger. It retreated into the hole and dug around for a while, then dropped something green with a hint of red.
