Who knows? This person's fragments of consciousness have been following me

Autumn came in a blink of an eye, and Lin Chao became busy.

Most of the leaves on the mountain had turned golden yellow. Lin Chao kept looking for and collecting nuts under the trees, slowly filling his storage room.

Lin Chao was so busy that he went out early and came back late. Even though he lived so close to Baihu, he spent less and less time with him.

On this day, Lin Chao came back with a mouthful of nuts and a lot of harvest, and saw the white tiger sitting in front of the cave entrance.

Lin Chao had a mouth full of nuts and couldn't speak, so he just raised his paw and made a squeak as a greeting.

After sending the food into the cave, Lin Chao crawled out and prepared to set off again.

Baihu stopped him, looking a little depressed, "You go looking for food every day, for several days, isn't it enough?"

Lin Chao said anxiously, "It's not enough, not enough at all! I should have stored some food before, instead of starting to save it in autumn! I regret it so much!"

"Ahhhhh, I'm so busy!" Lin Chao wailed and ran away.

Baihu watched him leave, feeling a little unhappy. It had been a long time since the little guy had a good talk with him.

But there was nothing he could do.

Having lived in the forest for a long time, he also knows some of the survival rules of these small animals.

Baihu sighed and stayed where he was, waiting for Lin Chao to come back so he could take a look at him and occasionally say a word or two to him.

As it was getting dark, Lin Chao finally decided to take a rest.

Seeing that Lin Chao didn't go outside to look for food again, Bai Hu asked happily: "Are you taking a break?"

Lin Chao stretched his body: "Well, no, let's take a rest!"

After saying this he turned and went into the cave.

The white tiger stepped lightly on his tail.

Lin Chao came out a little irritably: "Brother! I want to rest!"

He has been very irritable recently, which may be related to the dry weather.

Anyway, his temper has been obviously bad during this period.

The white tiger licked him gently, "Come in."

Big brother really loves to lick my fur, Lin Chao thought.

Early the next morning, Lin Chao went out again to look for food. When he was stuffing an acorn into his mouth, Lin Chao suddenly stood up and looked at another chipmunk not far away.

This chipmunk is also very large, and Lin Chao judged that he should also be an evolved beast.

The one who comes is not good.

Lin Chao looked at his aggressive appearance and quickly spat out the acorn in his mouth.

The chipmunk chose the right time and rushed over to beat Lin Chao.

Lin Chao fought back angrily.

Two chipmunks, one white and one yellow, were fighting under the oak tree.

Lin Chao lacked fighting skills and was severely beaten several times. He quickly ran away and jumped onto a short tree nearby.

The yellow chipmunk looked up at Lin Chao under the tree and made a sharp sound, as if trying to drive Lin Chao away.

"Why are you chasing me away? I was the first one to discover this place!" Lin Chao shouted.

The yellow chipmunk said irritably, "Then come down, and we'll have another fight. If you lose, you have to leave!"

"But I was the first one to discover this place!" Lin Chao tried to reason with him.

The yellow chipmunk said angrily, "I fought with you for territory, and since I won, you have to leave!"

This tree has been marked by Lin Chao and is Lin Chao's territory.

Lin Chao then realized that the yellow chipmunk was here to seize territory.

Lin Chao also got angry, "Okay, I was wondering why you came up to hit me, it turns out you came here to grab territory!"

"Get out!" Lin Chao jumped off the tree suddenly.

The yellow chipmunk was not afraid at all. He had lived in the forest for many years and had rich fighting experience.

He has been observing this white chipmunk for a long time. This chipmunk is also an evolved beast, but it is young and has little combat experience.

He had set his sights on the white chipmunk's territory and was pretty confident he could beat him.

A "martial arts fight" took place under the oak tree. After a while, the white chipmunk ran away in shame with its tail hanging down.

The yellow chipmunk shook himself, was happy for a while, and then began to pick up acorns on the ground.

Lin Chao ran back home dejectedly. Seeing the white tiger sleeping at the entrance of the cave, Lin Chao felt a surge of grievance, "Wuuuwaa! Big brother, I was bullied..."

Lin Chao threw himself on the white tiger's belly, crying loudly, but not a single tear came out for half a day.

He came here specifically to file a complaint.

Bai Hu half-opened his eyes and looked at Lin Chao on his belly, "What's wrong?"

Lin Chao recounted his experience of being beaten in a sad voice.

Baihu couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Chao immediately raised his head from the fur on his belly and looked at Bai Hu in disbelief: "Brother, are you laughing? I got beaten!"

Baihu suppressed his laughter and said, "You should practice more in the future and try not to get beaten next time."

Lin Chao rolled on his stomach, "That's too much! That's too much! I only picked up the acorns from that tree once!"

Baihu yawned: "Then I will help you get revenge?"

Lin Chao stopped and said, "No!"

This was a normal territorial dispute. Although Lin Chao was unwilling to accept it, he could just complain and grumble a few words and it would be fine.

"Yeah." Baihu closed his eyes and prepared to sleep again.

Lin Chao nuzzled into the soft fur on the white tiger's belly and found the most comfortable spot to lie down.

Oh wow, this is a Simmons mattress!

Lin Chao yawned.

Since the oak tree has been robbed, let's take a good rest today.

I'll find a new fruit tree tomorrow...

Lin Chao was sleeping soundly.

After a while, the tip of the white tiger's tail gently rested on Lin Chao.

The busy autumn made time pass quickly. By November, Lin Chao felt the temperature was getting lower and lower.

He couldn't bear it any longer, so he said hello to the white tiger and told him that he was going to hibernate.

Bai Hu stood in front of Lin Chao's cave entrance, and couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Will you wake up?"

"Of course!" The seasons were about to change, and the white tiger was entering the molting period. Lin Chao plucked off his shed fur, carried it into the cave, and made it into a soft little bed.

Bai Hu looked down at the chubby Lin Chao who kept pulling at his fur and asked, "Will you wake up in the spring?"

"Yes!" Lin Chao hugged the ball of fur, "Don't worry, brother, it's just hibernation."

White Tiger was silent.

Lin Chao made the small bed, came out and said goodbye to Bai Hu, "Brother, see you next spring!"

"Well, see you next year." Baihu said softly.

......

In winter, Yoyo Mountain is covered with snow.

The White Tiger and Youyou Mountain merge into one.

Every winter, white tigers rarely go out except for hunting.

This winter he was a little unusual.

He always walked out of the cave and stared at a small hole next to it for a long time.

Lin Chao designed a bend in the entrance of the cave, so you can't see inside at all.

The white tiger stood in front of the cave entrance, its ears moving constantly, as if listening to something.

After listening to the faint and slow breathing sounds inside for a while, Baihu left with peace of mind.

If the small hole is covered with snow, the white tiger will use its big claws to dig the snow away.

The white tiger would stay in front of the cave entrance for a while every day.

He would return to the cave only after confirming that Lin Chao was still breathing normally.

......

The weather is getting warmer but still cold, the ice and snow are melting, spring is here and flowers are blooming. Winter is gone and spring is here, and all things are reviving.

Lin Chao slept until almost mid-April before gradually waking up. He stretched, rolled over in his nest, and then crawled out of the hole.

Lin Chao didn't expect to see the white tiger when he got out of the cave. He smiled happily and said, "Brother! Long time no see!"
