Fox meets golden retriever

Chapter 9 Secret Base

The way for mature men to relieve loneliness is not to find a substitute, but to devote themselves to work and keep themselves busy.

Chang Nian has been extremely busy recently.

Although the little golden retriever is gone, his hunting activities will continue.Different from the little golden retriever who only fights for physical ability, Chang Nian's hunting method is more with the help of tools.

Occasionally, when missing a certain beast, Chang Nian would follow his example, chasing a little beast until the end of the road.

Like now.

Chang Nian was not discouraged and chased a long-eared beast that was not much smaller than him. When the opponent drilled into the forest, he also drilled into the forest, when the opponent turned a corner, he also turned, and when the opponent jumped and jumped, he also jumped and jumped, not for others. Yes, just to find something to do.

Suddenly, the long-eared beast made a "gudong" and fell, rolling and rolling, and it didn't know where it rolled.

Chang Nian hurriedly braked, but because he was not in time, he crashed into the bushes.I thought it was a merciless long thorn, so I often wanted to pierce my face to avoid being scratched.

However, there was no expected tingling sensation under the impact. Instead, it was like falling into a hole and entering another world.

Chang Nian raised his head and observed the world.

There is an open space of about [-] square meters, surrounded by tall and dense bushes, which are exactly the same as those on the edge of the tribe. The only exit is in a very secret place, which is just big enough for Chang Nian to pass through; under the paws is flat land, and there are green grass growing on the ground. The grass is slender and soft, dotted with yellow and white daisies; in the center of the open space sits a large stone, flat and square, as if cut by modern quarrying tools.

This place is safe and secret, like a specially isolated paradise.

Chang Nian walked around the site, careful not to let go of a place, looked and sniffed as he walked, and finally confirmed that there were no traces of other animal activities here.In other words, this is a land of no man!

Chang Nian opened his mouth, a surge of joy spontaneously emerged - this will be his secret base from now on!

We need to plant something here, we need to plant something there, and we have to circle a place in the south to domesticate a few pheasants and rabbits...

Chang Nian squatted on the big rock and observed the base condescendingly, while drawing a blueprint for transformation in his head.This feeling is more exciting than earning enough to win a house at the beginning.

Unknowingly, time passed for a long time, seeing that the sky was getting dark, Chang Nian reluctantly decided to leave.Of course, before leaving, Chang Nian did not forget to roll a few laps on the ground and at the same time rub on the big rocks to leave his own smell.If it wasn't for his inability to overcome the psychological barrier, maybe he would really lift his hind legs and take a dip.

Chang Nian drilled out from the exit and observed the surrounding environment, only to find that this place is already the outskirts of the tribe, and the surrounding bush belt is the boundary of the tribe, but there is a sudden extra one here, separating this place sharply.If you don't go to a high place, you really can't find it.

Chang Nian guessed, maybe it was because the terrain here was originally high and the place was remote, so it was not discovered by others!It happened to be cheap for him.

Chang Nian made a mark in the hidden place so that it would be easy to find tomorrow.

It is said that Chang Nian also has a secret base in another place, that is the highland when he just crossed over.If there is no comparison, then that place is not bad, Chang Nian usually thinks about things or has a small kitchen there.However, now that there is a better place, the "predecessor" should be laid off, and it is okay to be a backup once in a while.

Back at the cabin, I saw Chacha waiting outside the door from a distance, stretching her neck and looking forward, with a serious expression on her face.

Chang Nian unconsciously stepped up.

Chacha finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the familiar little white figure running towards her.

"Maomao, why did you come back late today?" The inquiry was full of concern, without the slightest intention of reprimand.

Chang Nian squeaked twice, approached Chacha proactively for the first time, and rubbed the other's outstretched hand with her fluffy cheek.

Chacha was pleasantly surprised, lifted Chang Nian up, laughed and said, "Maomao is so good!"

An inexplicable long-lost warmth hits my heart, just like when his elderly parents hadn't passed away, a simple joke from him could make them happy for a long time.

It's rare that Chang Nian let the other party hold her, and didn't turn her head to bite.

******

A new day is bound to be a busy day.

Chang Nian got up early in the morning, quickly drank the broth, swallowed a fresh berry, and hurried out after Chacha.

Chang Nian wants to rush to the high ground first—we might as well call it "Secret Base No. [-]", pack up the private belongings I have stored these days, and then take them to the newly discovered bush paddock yesterday—the well-deserved "Secret Base No. [-]".

When Chang Nian went out, he deliberately brought a piece of thin but flexible animal skin with him. He found it from under Chacha and Tiger's bed. I saw that Chacha used it to pack things before, and it seemed to be something like a burden.So Chang Nian decided to borrow it temporarily.

It is said that there are not many private items in the No. [-] base, but each item is essential. Chang Nian dug a hole and put them in it.There are several layers of branches and dry fallen leaves on the walls and bottom of the cave, so there is no need to worry about things getting wet or being walked by ground animals such as gophers.

The opening of the hole is usually sealed, and it is tightly covered with a large wooden plank. The wooden plank is covered with moss and fallen leaves, which is well camouflaged.

I'm about to move, and I'm in a delicate mood.

Chang Nian carefully looked around and found that there were no people or beasts, so he started to act.

First of all, Chang Nian spread the animal skins evenly on the ground. This process requires the use of both hands and claws to quickly solve the problem; then use small claws to scrape the moss aside and pry the wooden boards open. Chang Nian will inexplicably steal every time he does this. Hi, similar to the mentality of a miser counting gold coins.

On the top are a few pieces of roots that I didn't have time to eat. They are similar to sweet potatoes but not so sweet. In fact, they are more like potatoes.Chang Nian likes to call it "sweet potato".I've been in a bit of a mess these past few days. I haven't come here. The sweet potatoes have started to sprout. It's time to try planting them in the No. [-] base.

Chang Nian happily put them in the baggage.

Below the sweet potato is an upside-down bone bowl. The so-called "bone bowl", as the name suggests, is a bowl made of animal bones.It is said that there is a kind of animal called "round bone beast". The joints are full of semicircular bones, which can be used to make bowls, pots or spoons.

Chang Nian this one came out from home, there are several similar ones in Chacha's place, judging by his careless appearance, he probably hasn't found one missing until now.

Speaking of which, the first time I found out that this thing was a bone was actually a bit disgusting, but I wouldn't go on a hunger strike just because of this, I just got used to it.

Chang Nian preliminarily judged that the technological level of this tribe was equivalent to the early primitive society, and ceramics and ironware had not yet been invented.Chang Nian, a dignified associate professor of the Chinese Department, racked his brains and never thought about how ceramics are fired or how steel is tempered.Therefore, the idea of ​​making history can only be stillborn.

Put the bone bowl in the bag.

Next to the bone bowl are several bunches of different kinds of green leaves neatly stacked, all of which are edible green plants.Although after a few days, the leaves are still green, not wilted or broken, so you can add a meal at noon.Decisively put in the burden.

Then there are two flints, in order to prevent accidents, I always put them far away.This must be held, something to eat.

In the corner is an animal skin bag.Chang Nian stretched out his claws to hook it out, shook it off, and revealed two shiny things - a thermos cup with a silver metal shell and a small tablet with broken diamonds on it.

This animal skin bag was the one that Chacha made for Chang Nian back then, but because the little golden retriever didn't like it, he always scratched it with his claws and bit it with his teeth, so Chang Nian simply took it off.Even the small tablet was sealed.

After taking the small tablet, after the familiar startup page, the wallpaper of Chang Nian meditating by the window with a book in hand is displayed.Jiang Hong encrypted it to prevent Chang Nian from changing it after seeing it.

Even if it's not Thursday, you can't even land on the river.

What's more, there are still things to be busy.Chang Nian put the animal skin bag on his body again, and put the tablet into it—it is said that he has become more proficient in these anthropomorphic movements.

With all his belongings already in place, Chang Nian tied up the bundle and threw it on his back.Finally, don't forget to seal the hole.

After walking a certain distance, Chang Nian couldn't help but stop and look back.

This is his initial foothold when he came to this world, and this is the secret base that he and the little golden retriever share.

Every time the little golden retriever heard the call and hurried over, his mouth was stained with blood that hadn't been wiped off.Let him eat raw green vegetables or chew half-baked sweet potatoes on purpose, just to see the way he obviously finds it unpalatable, but deliberately pleases the master.

After eating, the little golden retriever likes to lie under that tree, near the south. At that time, a ray of sunlight happened to shine through the tree crown and shine on his soft belly.It is said that the belly is the most vulnerable part of most beasts, and it is generally not easily revealed.The little golden retriever likes to bask in his belly very much.

The chubby body is almost completely covered with golden fur, only the belly is exposed, which looks very palpable.

However, since transmigrating to the little white fox, Chang Nian has a richer understanding of beasts.Beasts have a certain bottom line for intimacy with their companions, just like a tiger’s butt cannot be touched, and most wild animals’ stomachs or tails cannot be touched either.Therefore, even though the little golden retriever seemed harmless, Chang Nian never crossed the bottom line.

It was time to leave, and the daily events were so clearly presented in front of my eyes.

Chang Nian came to his senses and scolded "hypocritical" in his heart, it's not like he won't come back anymore!Then, get rid of the little untimely sadness, and take a step towards a new journey!
