In fact, strictly speaking, the location of the police dog nursing home can only be considered a low hill at most, not a mountain. There is no water source on the mountain, the road is not easy to walk on, and it has no development value, and has never been contracted.

Fu Tao pushed the wheelbarrow and turned around among the sparse deciduous forests, and came to a leeward open space.

The surroundings are very quiet, with small trees planted in the open space. The thickest ones are like the forearms of adults, and the thinnest ones are about the same thickness as their wrists. Compared with the deciduous trees that have grown for a long time, they look weak.

There was a small bun in front of each small tree, and a wooden sign was nailed to the waist of the tree.

Fu Tao pushed the wheelbarrow and stopped, found a suitable location to support the car, lifted the plastic cloth, silently picked up the iron shovel and started shoveling soil.

Zhang Zi'an walked to the tree and saw wooden signs with words written on them, marking the birth and death date of each police dog buried here, the service troops and the service location. Some of them were incomplete information, and it may be because of the need for confidentiality that the service troops had "unknown", but at least they all had the name of the police dog.

He roughly counted, and there were about seven or eight small trees like this with wooden signs nailed.

The land in winter was very cold. Fu Tao was not young anymore and shoveled and dug. He was panting in a short while, his breathing was very heavy, and his forehead was sweating.

"Master Fu, you have a rest, I'll do it." Zhang Zi'an took off his coat, hung it on a branch, and walked over from the side.

Fu Tao inserted the iron shovel into the dug soil and stared at him suspiciously because he looked like a not strong ordinary person, similar to the young white-collar workers in the city, and did not look like he had done heavy work. Therefore, Fu Tao was very worried. Don’t be helpless and twisted his waist or sprained his ankle, which would be troublesome. He would put him in a wheelbarrow and push him back...

Zhang Zian didn't say much, pulled up the shovel, jumped into the shallow pit dug out by Fu Tao, and went down the shovel, shovel up a piece of soil, rolled it to the ground, and then dug it again.

Fu Tao thought he would be tired after he could not dig a few times, but he didn't expect that he would get more and more vigorous as he digs. Every move was full of force and his breathing was even and smooth. Zhang Zian didn't use force at the beginning, but gradually mastered the method. The rhythm of shoveling soil was full of rhythm, and his expression even looked a little relaxed.

His body is stronger than Fu Tao imagined, thanks to the training he has been urging under Lao Cha for the past six months.

but……

"come on!"

"come on!"

"motto!motto!haha!"

Richard was curled up in Zhang Zi'an's hood, and kept making noise next to him.

"What is this parrot talking about? What kind of hairy peaches? Does it want to eat hairy peaches?" Fu Tao asked curiously with sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.

Zhang Zian: "..." It's so embarrassing!

He waved the shovel intimidation at Richard, and it calmed down for a while, but it didn't take long for the old problem to happen again.

“sigai!”

“sigai!motto!”

It shouts in a variety of ways the commonly used lines in Japanese movies.

Fina and the Snow Lion squat lazily on a long stone, yawning boredly. They didn't say anything and complained that it was already good, so they couldn't expect them to help Zhang Zi'an and Fu Tao dig the soil.

π looked left and right in the sparse woods, and found a tree with the thickest, most branches and the best looking tree to climb up with all its limbs.

This is its first time climbing a tree. Although it is not a real monkey, there are still some monkey instincts in its body.

Fu Tao, who was resting, saw it, "Hey, your monkey is climbing a tree, don't care about it?"

"π, be careful, grab it steadily, don't fall off." Zhang Zian looked up and saw that π had crawled halfway, and said loudly.

"Squeak."

π freed up a hand and gestured to indicate that there was no problem, but his action made him even more worried.

"Don't you call it back?" Fu Tao reminded, "Maybe it won't come back if it runs away."

"It's okay, let it go and play. If you have enough fun, it will come back." Zhang Zian smiled and was very confident. It is normal for Fu Tao to have such doubts, but π is not an ordinary monkey after all...

"It's up to you, but if it runs away, I won't help you find it." Fu Tao snorted, no longer saying anything, and looked like "I don't listen to the old man's words and suffer losses in front of me", as if he was determined that π would definitely run away and not come back.

Xinghai noticed a group of sparrows falling not far away, searching for seeds and nuts among the fallen leaves, and then meowed and chased them.

When the sparrows saw natural enemies attacking, they immediately took off collectively, circling in the air for several weeks, falling on nearby branches, seemingly reluctant to leave, and would rather live next to natural enemies. It may be because of the shortage of food in winter, and there are many tree species that can fill their stomachs in this rarely visited place.

When the starry sea ran a little further, the sparrows flew down again when they saw this, turning the fallen leaves and grass nests to find food.

Xinghai meowed again and killed a retaliation, and the sparrows took off again, and both sides enjoyed it...

Richard covered his face with his wings and couldn't bear to look at these similar people with almost negative IQs.

As π climbed higher and higher, a hidden bird nest was found at the branch of a branch. There were no birds in the nest, and only an oval bird egg was lying. Light gray spots were distributed outside the eggshell and dried green bird droppings were stained with green and dried bird droppings.

Birds usually do not lay eggs in winter, and π scratched their heads. They don’t know what kind of eggs they lay. Their books are left in the car and they can’t check them. They are not worried that the books will be lost because there is old tea in the car, and no one can take the books, and even if they take them away, they can’t understand them.

It turned its head and looked left and right. What about the female bird that gave birth to the egg?

Where did the female male spouse go?

After searching for it but failed, Pi blinked and stared at the lonely bird egg.

Perhaps the female bird that gave birth to this egg had already flew away and flew to the distant and warm south to spend the winter.

Perhaps both the female and the male had died under the airspewls of nearby villagers.

Of course, the biggest possibility is that both females and males fly out to find food. After all, it is difficult to find food in winter and may need to fly far.

Thinking of this, π slipped down from the tree again, ran and jumped to find Zhang Zi'an's coat hanging on the branch, fumbled out of the bag of the coat for a while, and took out a handful of nuts, all of which were pure nuts, which were Richard's snacks.

π's palm is very small and I can't catch many nuts in one hand.

"Gaga! What are you going to do? Want to steal my uncle's things?" Richard asked vigilantly when he saw its movement.

"Squeak!"

π defends herself with a finger and points to the bird's nest on the tree.

Richard rolled his dark eyes and said, "It's okay to give it to you, but after you go back, you have to find a way to pay me twice... No, five times!"

"Squeak."

π nodded, climbed back to the tree with his hands and feet, sprinkled the nuts in his hands into the bird's nest, and pressed the dead grass covering the bird's nest tighter, helping the egg to keep warm, and at the same time preventing other birds from discovering the bird's nest, and even further occupying the magpie's nest.

When the bird egg's parents come back foraging, these plump nuts will surely surprise them.

The temperature has risen a little now, not as cold as it was when it was coldest. If the chicks in this egg were lucky, they might be able to welcome the arrival of spring while breaking out.

π looked up and saw that the sky was getting darker and darker. Its position was very close to the top of the tree at this time, but the trunk was getting thinner and softer, and it became more and more difficult to climb.

It continues to climb up and learns to use its tail to maintain balance in its body. It hooks the branches with its tail to prevent it from falling down on its own when it is unstable. This is the correct way to use the tail.

Not long after, π finally climbed to the top of the tree.

It firmly grasped the trunk and looked down from the top of the tree, very high and far away.

Zhang Zi'an, who was digging the soil and Fu Tao standing next to him had become very small. Fina and the snow lion turned into two groups of hair, one yellow and one white. Richard, who was noisy, was so small that it was almost invisible. Only its voice was still hoarse and loud, extremely penetrating.

Looking further away, you can see the gray-white roof of the police dog nursing home hidden under the bare tree canopy, and the car parked in the courtyard looks like a shining turtle shell. The lights are on in the room, and people stop by the window from time to time, leaving a black silhouette.

The sunset sinks in the distant mountains, and the dusk mist covers the coastal city near the horizon. At this time, the city that is usually noisy looks like a tired beast resting and will be reborn tomorrow morning.

Firecrackers were heard one after another in the nearby village, and the atmosphere of the New Year became stronger and stronger.

Hulala!

In the woods not far away, the sparrows that were startled by the sea of ​​stars flapped their wings like black flies and took off again, without falling this time.

As the sun sets and night is approaching, the group of sparrows suffering from congenital night blindness seem to notice that time is not on their side, so they no longer want to play this game of cat and mouse, and fly collectively towards Binhai City, where there is more food to find in the garbage bags in the residential area.

They finally figured out that there was no fragrant grass everywhere, so why bother looking for it here?

Xinghai chased the sparrow flying for a while and finally returned with great pleasure.

When passing by the tree where π is, it looks up and squints its eyes and looks at π.

π waved at it, signaling it to come up and play together and watch the scenery together.

Xinghai shook his head, but instead raised one of his front paws and made a move to Pi, indicating that it would come down.

Although the view at the height is very wide and the scenery is good, Pi also felt inexplicably in her heart. She wanted to say something and wanted to yell a few times. Maybe this is why ancient poets always liked to recite poems when climbing mountains, like Richard chanted before, "I know that my brothers climbed high places, and there was one less dogwood planted everywhere"... But the wind on the top of the tree was a bit loud and cold, and it was boring to stay by myself, so Pi returned to the tree with his hands and feet.
Chapter completed!
