In July, as the temperature continued to rise, all the coolness brought by the previous few days of continuous rain was driven away.
The weather is cloudy and sunny, with warm winds blowing in the morning, bright sunshine at noon, and possibly violent storms in the evening.
In such a high temperature environment, the most important issue for little hedgehogs to pay attention to is ventilation.
But for Xu Qiaoqiao, this problem is not a problem at all, because the cliff alone has ventilation on all sides and a bright sun above its head, so one can sunbathe every day.
Fortunately, the white hedgehog would not get tanned. Xu Qiaoqiao could only use this reason to comfort himself. Obviously, even though he recommended the new house so hard that day, Jun Qi still did not give up on that place.
I still worked hard every day to bring branches, soil, and various other building materials. I even shortened my sleeping time a lot, just to repair my little nest.
In just three days, the prototype of the nest has emerged. If it continues like this, it will probably be completed soon.
Xu Qiaoqiao looked at the nest with deep eyes, and couldn't help feeling a little discouraged. Is there really no solution? Isn't it possible to get rid of such a nest this summer?
In fact, this is indeed the case. As it is inland, there is very little rainfall here. The heaviest rainfall occurs during the plum rain season in June, and in early spring, when the snow turns into water, which can be considered a small amount of rainfall.
In the past few days, Xu Qiaoqiao watched helplessly how the nest was built, and Jun Qi seemed to be frightened, as the nest became much thicker.
Xu Qiaoqiao: Well...
Okay, it seems there is really no other way.
This summer is passing by, Xu Qiaoqiao thought with a pessimistic tone.
Thinking about this, she envied Jun Qi even more. Although he had such thick feathers, why didn't he feel the heat and heat? His daily life was very regular.
With that feather, Xu Qiaoqiao has every reason to believe that it can survive well in extreme temperatures like the Arctic and Antarctic.
Jun Qi probably knew Xu Qiaoqiao's troubles, or felt them. He brought her a bunch of green leaves every day. There were many leaves on them, which were good for blocking the sun.
This summer, for Xu Qiaoqiao, was like military training in college. Every day was a torment, but he couldn't hide and could only endure it.
Time sneaks away under such circumstances.
When Xu Qiaoqiao went hunting with Jun Qi one day and smelled the sweet fragrance of melons and fruits, she realized that autumn had come.
Unknowingly, the leaves began to slowly turn yellow, starting from the outer edge of the forest. This change slowly began to change deeper into the forest, until the entire forest was dyed in a mixture of red and yellow, just like Xu Qiaoqiao
It's just like it was when I first came here. This is the end.
As summer passes, the days become shorter and shorter, and the weather becomes significantly cooler.
Time flies so fast?
Xu Qiaoqiao looked at the tree full of fruits and was a little dazed, because she felt that it was still hot summer a second ago. After all, she thought the sun was too hot during the day a few days ago, but in just a few days, she discovered
Autumn has come quietly.
"Gu Gu."
Jun Qi obviously smelled this sweet smell, and he didn't dare to be interested, but the little hedgehog definitely liked it, so he flew here directly with Xu Qiaoqiao.
Hearing Jun Qi's cry, Xu Qiaoqiao realized that she had been in a daze for too long. Jun Qi was a little curious. He put his head in front of Xu Qiaoqiao and stared at her without blinking.
"Chirp chirp."
Xu Qiaoqiao screamed, and when she realized it was Jun Qi's big face, it didn't scare her anymore. She touched Jun Qi's hairy face and the scars.
Jun Qi liked Xu Qiaoqiao's touch very much. It mixed with the little hedgehog's breath, which made him feel very comfortable.
Autumn is a harvest season, and it is the favorite season for herbivorous animals.
Because there is no need to worry about the shortage of food during this season.
The fruit this time was different from the ones Xu Qiaoqiao had found before. It was a real pear. It was so big that Xu Qiaoqiao couldn't tell what kind of pear it was, but it must be very delicious.
The aroma of fruits blown by the wind attracts small animals. The sweet fruits and pulp make Xu Qiaoqiao's meal richer, leaving her unable to care about autumn or summer. Her attention is completely occupied.
The delicious food in front of me attracted me away.
Didn't I mention before that hedgehogs are known as "fruit gatherers"? That's because legend has it that in autumn, hedgehogs will prick pears and apples with their thorns and then take them into their winter caves.
I don’t have a winter cave. Xu Qiaoqiao followed the scent and came to the fruit nearby. She said to herself, I fell asleep directly in winter.
The tempting sweet taste of the fruit made Xu Qiaoqiao drool. This pear is great!
The ground was almost covered with fallen fruits, which had been blown down by the wind, or because they were too big and the branches could not bear its weight, so they fell directly.
Wow, there are so many fruits here. Xu Qiaoqiao took a few steps forward and found this situation. She felt like she couldn’t choose.
The sweet taste of the fruit also attracts many insects, but most of them eat the fermented parts, which does not conflict with what Xu Qiaoqiao eats.
On this night, Xu Qiaoqiao thoroughly enjoyed the fruits of autumn, which is just one word: sweet.
It’s really a pity that Junjun can’t eat vegetarian food. I hope I can share it with him in the next life, but forget it in this life, because I’m afraid his stomach won’t be able to bear it.
This is not modern. In modern times, owls are protected animals. If something happens, they can still seek help from humans. But this is no longer the case in ancient times. If they see owls, they will probably have an extra dish on their table.
Xu Qiaoqiao buried her head among the fruits, eating very happily.
Just when Xu Qiaoqiao licked her lips in recollection, burped, and was about to leave, a gust of wind suddenly blew by, and a fruit hit Xu Qiaoqiao's back.
ah!
Xu Qiaoqiao was shaken a few times by the impact. She felt the weight on her back and smiled helplessly.
She turned around and saw a large fruit on her back, stabbed by thorns and staying there firmly.
Yo! You can’t wait to eat this fruit yourself!
But I'm full now and don't need you anymore, even though your fruit looks big and juicy.
Xu Qiaoqiao tried to use her paws to see if she could take off the fruit, but it didn't work. The fruit was located a bit far behind.
If this situation happened to other little hedgehogs, they might not care about it, but Xu Qiaoqiao is different.
Other hedgehogs might take back their own nests, but she wouldn't. As for Junjun's nest, although it has been enlarged and reinforced a lot, it is still small and pitiful, and there is no room for this fruit.
When Xu Qiaoqiao found that she couldn't get it with her claws, she saw if she could shake it off. She shook her butt a few times first. When she saw that the fruit hadn't come off yet, she exerted all her strength and shook it several times. Finally, she shook the fruit several times.
The fruit shook off.
In fact, Xu Qiaoqiao's situation is not uncommon, because isn't it common for little hedgehogs to be stung by thorns once something falls on them?
