In the days of surviving in the fairy forest

The new house that Rick is going to build is not too big.

Especially the part of the ground that is disguised as a rock is only about one meter high. It leans between a big tree in the forest and the soil slope. At first glance, it looks like stones washed out by rain in the soil, which is extremely inconspicuous.

Therefore, constructing the outer rock wall is the easiest step.Taking advantage of the darkness, Rick carefully stacked the bricks together with his thoughts, lightly solving the problem of a few beasts of the night. Pang Pang flew over, spewed out worms, and bridged the gaps between the bricks, and then he picked up the big bucket. Cement, poured directly from the very top of the bricks.

Rick's mental power is not superb, it can only ensure that the direction and thickness of the cement pouring are relatively uniform, and it is absolutely impossible to make it as smooth as scraping putty.Fortunately, the stones in the natural world are full of potholes, and this shortcoming makes the stone house's camouflage even more like that.

The door of the stone house is quite exquisite. Rick specially went to the mountain grape grove and asked the curly-haired baboon to grind out a stone door hinge for them. Pang Pang cut out a stone door panel that perfectly fit the entrance, and finally assembled it to make a stone door. The push-pull stone door even has a small wooden lock inside.

As for the interior of the stone house, it is covered by earth slopes. Rick expanded the area as much as possible and paved it all with bricks and stones. The squirrel stepped on the ladder and smoothed the cement little by little with a small wooden shovel, so tired that his tail was limp. hanging behind.

"How about digging a passage here, putting a small stone ladder, and making a cellar underneath?" Fox Claw patted a corner of the stone house, stopping Pang Pang from placing bricks there.

Pangpang had seen Rick's design drawing a long time ago, so he naturally had no opinion. The worm silk was rolled up, bricks were arranged to squeeze out a square space, and a slightly thinner wooden board was laid on top to make a flip-type passage door.

Rubbing the fox paws, Rick groaned and began to dig a hole hard.

Their move was extremely concealed. The external construction and the transfer of food and supplies in the tree house were all completed at night, and the internal construction of the stone house was also careful not to make too much noise.

Fortunately, the structure of the stone house is not complicated, and Rick and the others have already built several houses. Except for the fact that they were not familiar with the cement at the beginning, they were able to do it with ease, and they were done in less than five days.

Rick hung a wooden sign on the stone roof, and burned the words "Forest Stone House" crookedly with flames-as for whether this would reveal their camouflage, unless there was a second animal in the forest who could also see Know Chinese characters, otherwise they will just treat this brand as a half-burnt twig.

It was raining lightly in the forest.

Looking out through a few small holes deliberately left during construction, Rick said happily: "It's a good thing I dried the cement with a flame, before it dries naturally, otherwise it would be too troublesome if it rains."

Lying on the soft wool cushion, Ah Li and Fatty huddled together, pillowed on each other's big tails, and dozed comfortably.

Hearing the little fox's words, Chubby waved his claws lazily, unwilling to even open his mouth.Ah Li's eyes were half-closed and half-opened, and his front paws were stretched vigorously, lifting the cheese cubes on the small wooden table: "Rick, come and sleep together!"

"It's only mid-afternoon, why are you sleeping?" Rick walked over angrily, took the cheese block that was almost stuffed into the mouth by the squirrel, and shook it around the tip of his fat nose, "Get up and practice your racial skills .”

A caterpillar thread precisely hooked the cheese block on the fox's paw, lifted and pulled it, cut the cheese in half, handed half to Ah Li, and fed the other half into Fatty's mouth.

"Go and exercise by yourself," Chubby chewed the cheese, stubbornly refusing to open his eyes, "No one can stop me from continuing to sleep."

Rick poked his belly angrily, and was pulled away by Fatty's claws. He couldn't pull Fatty up for a long time, and he couldn't help but began to wonder whether he was right or wrong in trying to make this comfortable wool pad.

After hunting curly sun sheep, we got so much wool. The process of kneading wool and weaving wool blankets can just train the precision and control of mind power.Therefore, Rick has recently woven several woolen tapestries, woolen carpets, woolen cushions, and woolen pillows to decorate the stone house warmly, but it also made Fatty and Ali doze off as soon as they entered the room.

bang bang.There was an elegant and reserved knock on the door.

Ah Li jumped up from the wool pad with a groan, and his movements were so large that he almost knocked Pangpang to the ground: "It must be the queen bee and the others! I'll open the door, I'll open the door!"

He bounced and rushed to the door, unlocked the wooden lock, a gap opened in the stone door, and the queen bee and two queen bees squeezed in one after another.

Except for the gourd baboons and bears, the queen bees were one of the few animals that knew that Rick and Ali had moved. On the first day the stone house was built, they also sent several large barrels of royal jelly made from different flowers and several pieces of beeswax.

The beeswax was requested by Rick to study how to make candles. Although the experiment was successful, Rick found that the candles were not as useful as his fireballs, so he simply sealed up the candles he made and kept them for future use. Give gifts to other animals.

"Let's drink some honey milk tea!" Rick said enthusiastically, controlling the ceramic cups with his mind, making them float into the hands of the queen bee.

The raging bears who love to drink milk tea are constantly improving the formula, and Rick gives some ideas from time to time. The current honey milk tea is much better than the one Rick made at the beginning, and there is even a thick layer of milk on top. , garnished with the crushed pulp of the sweet fruit.

Honey feeds on nectar and pollen, and has always been unable to eat other foods.The queen bee held the milk tea, a little hesitant, tilted her head to look at the two queen bees behind her, seeing that they were drinking vigorously, she really didn't know how to refuse, so she had to lower her head and take a sip.

After taking a sip of honey milk tea, her eyes lit up suddenly, she didn't even bother to talk to Rick, she gulped down the milk tea, then pursed her mouth, and glanced very quickly at the bamboo tube with milk tea on the table, thinking Have another drink, but I'm too embarrassed to say it directly.

Rick didn't notice the queen bee's subtle expression at all. He was busy cleaning up the accidentally spilled water, silently annoyed that his mental skills were not in place, and Ah Li had a good chat with the queen bee next to him. Fill the earthen cup he drank.

The queen bee drank another cup with a smile, and was about to refill the third cup. From the corner of her eye, she saw the queen bee staring at herself. She hurriedly sat up straight. After a moment of self-reflection, her expression gradually became serious: "We have something to do when we come to the stone house today." To discuss with you."

The queen glared at me, it must be because I was so obsessed with delicious food that I forgot my business!Then get to the point now!

"Huh?" Rick and Ali looked at each other and became serious.

The things that the queen bee family needs to consider now are most likely related to the queen bee's nest.Have they found a satisfactory residence and are ready to say goodbye to themselves?

"We've been searching for so long, but we still haven't found a suitable place to live," the royal bee said straight to the point. "So, now we're thinking about whether we can build a suitable nesting place by ourselves."

Although bees have always built their own hives, they must be attached to a sufficiently strong external environment, otherwise they will be easily found and destroyed by animals in the forest, eating their hard-earned honey and larvae.

As for the beehives they currently live in, although both concealment and firmness need to be improved urgently, they are much better than caves and treetops where animals can easily approach.

This is also the reason why they have not been able to find a suitable nesting place so far - they have lived in a better place, so those choices are not eye-catching.

What's more, whether it is the mountain bees that signed a friendship agreement with the gourd baboons or the sweet fruit bees that live with the bears, they all have spacious, bright and durable hives. As the king of the bee family, how can they even connect their residences? Nothing compares!

"There are enough people in our clan, and we can temporarily mobilize other bees to help. The labor force is no problem," the queen bee shook her tentacles, and asked a little shyly, "That is, how do you make the water that can turn into stone? We I want to use that as a shell."

This requirement is very simple.Rick nodded decisively in agreement, and asked curiously, "Where are you going to build the lair?"

"It's nearby," the queen bee gestured excitedly, "the top of the mountain to the west."

The first mountain in the west is only ten minutes away from the stone house of Rick and Ali. The queen bee flies faster in the air, and it takes about five or six minutes to reach the stone house.

As for the highest point on the top of the mountain... This is the biggest obsession of the queen bees who have been trapped in the burrow for decades, and they all want to be as far away from the ground as possible.

"Cement needs to be calcined at high temperature." Rick tilted his head and suggested, "I can burn it here first, and you can just carry the bucket and use it."

After discussing the construction process of the queen bee's nesting place, the queen bee also took out a slate with a sketch on it and asked Rick to give his opinion. After discussing for a while, most of the matters were finalized.

Rick took a sip of the milk tea, thinking that the queen bees were about to leave, but saw the queen bee stuffing the board into the queen bee's arms, and said in a slightly lower voice, "There is one more thing."

She was indeed not talkative, she glanced at the queen bee's face, and the latter answered knowingly: "Recently, the bees have received a lot of news from the forest."

Spring and summer are the seasons when bees are buzzing and collecting honey. As long as there are flowers, you can see them, and naturally you can hear a lot of gossip and rumors.After the bears escaped from the bear forest because of the inspectors, the royal bee family notified the nearby bees and asked them to check the news of the inspectors.

"This kind of thing can't use racial skills, so not all bees will obey, and the information obtained is limited," the queen bee said worriedly, "However, a few bees sent news today, saying that it is the purple leopard among the inspectors. , long-tailed lizards and leaf honey badgers have left Phoenix Mountain and are heading east."

Whether it is the stone house, the rose hillside or the mountain grape forest, they are all on the east side of Phoenix Mountain.The arrival of these inspectors is very likely to target them.

Rick's gaze suddenly became serious.Ah Li also hugged her big tail, and fell silent.

"And—" the queen bee suddenly said.

Rick, Ali, and Pang Pang, who flew out of the cashmere nest after hearing the key information, looked at her in unison.

"That honey milk tea, can I have another cup?" The queen bee still had a cold face, but her eyes were wandering, obviously a little embarrassed.

Rick: "..."

He regained his composure, and reluctantly pushed the bamboo tube containing the milk tea to the queen bee: "You can take whatever you want, and I can make it anytime I want."

So this guy was struggling with this matter just now!He said why he always felt that the queen bee was fidgeting!
