Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 490 So It Was The Thief

Chapter 490 So It Was The Thief
After looking around for a while, but seeing nothing, Cheng He said, "Maybe a monkey came to steal it, maybe it's not."

Maybe it was because he was so absorbed in eating that he didn't even notice that a monkey was coming.

This is possible. In this kind of dense forest, it is normal to have monkeys.

Wang Zheng didn't think too much about it, and said, "Let's go, let's go pick the lotus."

It's just bread, no big deal.

It won't be a beast, for a number of reasons.For example, why do beasts only steal bread?If it was a ferocious beast, the commotion just now should have been quite serious. It is impossible that they were not alert.

Moreover, the Xiaolian Mountain area may have been hunted too much in the past, and no large animals have been seen in the past ten years. Even the wild boar disappeared for a few years, and it was only occasionally seen in the past two years.

Otherwise, more and more people have traveled by car in recent years, but they have never heard of any large animals appearing.

They didn't pay much attention to this little incident. After tidying up their things, they put them in a safe place beside the stones and pressed them down with stones. They only picked up the important ones in their hands, and they went to pick the lotus pods.

After a short walk, I arrived at the lotus leaf pond. Now is the season when the lotus leaves are flourishing. The lotus leaves are held up like big umbrellas, but there is no dew on them.

At noon, the sun was so fierce that all the water evaporated.

Sure enough, there was a boat propped under the lotus leaves by the lake. Cheng Shi and his family would sometimes come to dig some lotus root belts, fish and so on.

It's not a big boat, it's just an ordinary small boat. Of course, it's no problem to take the current few people.

This kind of boat is propped by bamboo poles, and only Cheng He knew it, so he became a boatman.

The boat was walking in the middle of the lotus leaves. Cheng He punted the boat and said, "Xiaoqian, Xinxin, please pay attention to your face and hands, don't get rubbed by the stems of the lotus leaves."

The lotus leaf stalks are full of thorns, and it may bleed if you rub it, so you should pay attention to it.

Cheng Xinxin was very happy on the boat, moving around on it, Cheng He started nagging again: "Xinxin, don't wander around on the boat, be careful of falling..."

Bai Qian hurriedly pulled her back: "Little guy, can't you be more gentle? You see, my mother is so gentle and gentle, the little beauty can't be too noisy, you know..."

The word "little beauty" won Cheng Xinxin away, and she sat quietly, motionless, only smiling at the corner of her mouth.

While punting the boat, Cheng He picked one of the ripe lotus pods and threw them into the cabin.

Wang Zheng and his assistant are not idle either, they can't punting, at least they can pick lotus pods.Cheng He told them how to choose the ripe ones, the ones that are too tender have not yet formed and cannot be eaten.

The boat propped up all the way, and lotus pods were thrown into the cabin from time to time.

Bai Qian knew how to eat it, so she quickly picked it up and peeled it.Cheng Xinxin also followed her.

Fresh lotus pods, peeled lotus seeds are crystal clear and jade-like, shiny and lustrous, making people salivate just looking at them.Bai Qian peeled off the lotus seeds, removed the green lotus heart inside, and said, "Xinxin, come and taste."

Cheng Xinxin had been waiting beside her for a long time, she couldn't wait, she quickly opened her small mouth, ate it in one bite, and said with a smile, "Mom, it's so sweet, this is sweet."

After finishing speaking, I have to pick a little more out of my mouth, so that my mother can taste it too.

Bai Qian patted her head and said, "Okay, you can eat, mom will peel another one by herself."

After she peeled off another one, she handed it to Cheng Xinxin, and said, "Go, give Dad a taste too. Slow down..."

Cheng Xinxin took the lotus seeds and was about to walk towards Cheng He.

Cheng He said quickly: "Xinxin, don't move, just sit there, and Dad will eat by himself later."

Cheng Xinxin said, "No."

Of course it won't work, Dad hasn't eaten yet, how can this work?No matter what, she wanted her father to eat this lotus seed.

Seeing the boat swaying, her short legs were tilted, Cheng He was worried that she had really fallen, so he hurried over, squatted down, opened his mouth, and asked Cheng Xinxin to put the lotus seeds into her mouth.

Otherwise, even if she crawls, she will definitely crawl over, and she must let her father eat it.

This is worrying about her, and being obsessed with her and sweet in heart, which really makes Cheng He a little at a loss for what to say.

While chewing the lotus seeds, he rubbed her little head and said, "Okay, daddy has eaten it, thank you, you must sit still, you know? The boat is shaking, if you fall, daddy will feel bad died."

Cheng Xinxin smiled sweetly and asked, "Father, is it sweet? Is it delicious?"

"Sweet, of course it's sweet. My girl gave it to me, of course it's the best." Cheng He said.

After letting her sit down, he turned around again and continued to punting.

After a while, I picked dozens of lotus pods, and I couldn't finish them in the past two days, so I went back home.

It didn't take much time in total.

Carrying a bag of lotus pods and returning the same way, Cheng He suddenly said: "Don't move, there is movement over there."

Their luggage was placed next to a big stone before, but fortunately it was still pressed by the stone.Now there is something pulling the luggage bag over there, the sound of claws grabbing the luggage bag, and the sound of "huhu".

Cheng He whispered to the rest of the people: "Don't move, I'll go and have a look."

He had always carried the hatchet, and he immediately took it in his hand at this moment.

The rest of the people held their breath and were all on guard, thinking that something big happened.

Cheng He comforted them: "Don't be afraid, that guy is smaller than a rock, and smaller than a luggage bag. It's not a big thing. It might be a weasel or a mountain rat. Don't be afraid."

After finishing speaking, he tiptoed over and looked around the luggage bag, and was immediately taken aback—what the hell is this?

This guy has a whole body of brown hair, which is really indescribable.

It is not too big, slightly bigger than ordinary domestic cats, its fur is very fluffy, the fur around the eyes is black, and the fur on its face is white.The ears are slightly rounded and covered with white hairs.

The tail was quite long, with black and white rings. Seeing movement at this moment, the guy stood upright and raised his front paws.There are five fingers on the claws, and it can grasp things at a glance. There are fangs in the mouth, which are slightly longer than dog teeth.

Cheng He has never seen this kind of thing before, but it looks familiar - it looks a bit like Rocket Raccoon in "Guardians of the Galaxy".

The black eye circles, paired with the white face, look a bit like a panda, but it has a pointed face and a sharp mouth, unlike the round face of a panda, which looks amiable.

This guy seemed to be frightened, he just stood there motionless, looking cute.

Is this a raccoon?
Is this the guy who came to steal bread today?
Cheng He was a little confused. It is said that they don't have raccoons here!

I accidentally read information on the Internet before. Raccoons are generally only found in North America. I haven’t heard that we also have them here.

However, people who are not of my race must have a different heart. Cheng He can't let this thing get too close to Bai Qian and Cheng Xinxin. Who knows what kind of attack power this guy has despite his cute looks?
He waved the hatchet and yelled a few times, and the little thing disappeared with a "swoosh".

Bai Qian and the others were behind. They only saw a certain brown figure disappear into the forest like lightning, but they didn't see his face clearly.

Wang Zheng went up to check his luggage, and found that the bag he packed earlier had been dragged away. If it wasn't for the stones pressing on it, the guy just now might have dragged it away.

That weird thing, what does it do stealing other people's luggage?Could it be that it also stole the previous bread?
The world is full of wonders.

He asked, "What was that just now? It ran pretty fast."

Cheng He put away the hatchet and said, "I don't know it either. It looks a bit like a raccoon, just like the rocket in "Guardians of the Galaxy", but I can't be sure."

He always felt that there should not be such a rare thing in Xiaolian Mountain.

Anyway, that thing is gone, and there is nothing wrong now, so he took out his phone and searched for raccoons.

Bai Qian said, "Why didn't you take a photo first?"

Cheng He patted his head: "That's right, why didn't you take a picture first? Put this on the Internet, maybe you can get some clicks."

Just thinking about it, Bai Qian and Cheng Xinxin are here, and they can't be hurt by it, so they were immediately driven away.

It is only now that I think it would be good if I took a picture first.

After searching for raccoons, Cheng He compared the creatures he saw just now, it was really true!
According to the comparison of the size mentioned on the Internet, Cheng He judged that the guy might have just reached adulthood, and he was not considered the biggest.

It's really strange that Xiaolian Mountain can really have raccoons!It is really said on the Internet that raccoons are unique to North America, and they are also found in Australia, but they are relatively rare in other places.

Wang Zheng himself was also searching on his mobile phone. While looking at it, he smiled and said, "It seems that there used to be a brand of instant noodles called raccoons, right?"

Bai Qian said, "It's crispy noodles."

"That's right, it's crispy noodles. It was quite popular at that time." Wang Zheng said.

With nothing to do, they made random guesses about how there were creatures like raccoons in Xiaolian Mountain.

Cheng He thought, there are even giant pandas here, could it be that this guy came from another place just like the giant pandas?

Bai Qian asked him back: "Then was this one before, or was it a litter?"

neither knows.Anyway, only saw one.

Wang Zheng made an association and said: "Could it be that someone raised a pet, and then he couldn't keep it, so he threw it here and released it? Think about it, if it can steal bread, it means that it has been with humans before. "

Bread has packaging bags. If you have never been in contact with anyone, can you know to steal the packaged things and eat them?

Speaking of which, the behavior of stealing and eating is very suitable for creatures like raccoons.Judging from the introduction on the Internet, raccoons like to steal other people's food.

And this guy is very powerful, he can catch fish, catch birds, and steal eggs to eat. It seems that he will eat anything that flies in the sky, swims in the water, or nests in the trees.

Look, I wanted to steal my luggage just now!If it wasn't for a stone pressing it down, it would have been able to sneak away.

This guy also has a habit of washing the hunted things in water, and eating them after washing.

The word "Huan" in its name probably comes from this.
