Chapter 391: Big Cats
Although it is the scorching summer season of midsummer, the deep Taihang with high mountains and dense forests is far less hot than in the city, especially at the bottom of this canyon where you can only see a line of blue sky when you look up, the gurgling stream and the gentle mountain breeze bring gusts of coolness, which makes Xiao Nan, who is thinly dressed, feel a chill, she wraps the tulle shirt on her body, and wraps her arms around her chest to try to reduce the loss of some body temperature.
"Xiao Cheng, why can't this car be pushed alive?" Han Zheng's frustrated voice came from not far away, Xiao Nan raised his head and followed the voice, only for a moment Han Zheng was pushing the off-road forest road locomotive that was thrown down by Miao Yutong in the stream by the stream. His feet sank into the sand by the stream, but the wheels of the car remained as if they had taken root.
"Are you still hanging on the gear? You try to hang the neutral gear and then push?" Xiao Nan reminded.
"But I don't know how to put gears, I can't drive a motorcycle at all, at most I can drive a pedal sheep or something, I can't handle this kind of geared car at all......" Han Zheng said with an innocent face.
"You are simply ......" Xiao Nan didn't know what to say, Han Zheng obviously works in a company that produces motorcycles, but he can't drive a motorcycle with a gear, can't he make people laugh when he says it......
"The gear pedal is next to the left pedal, you pinch the clutch on the handlebar, no matter how many gears it is now, step down in one breath, step on it until it can't move is the first gear, and then gently pick it up with your toes, and see the gear gauge on the dashboard shows a neutral green light. Xiao Nan had no choice but to be patient and instruct Han Zheng what to do, but fortunately, this guy was not stupid, and according to what Xiao Nan said, he really hung up the off-road locomotive in neutral.
"Hehe, it's okay now, it's finally able to push. Han Zheng wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and smiled: "No matter how hard I pushed just now, it didn't work, I feel like I'm ...... It's like competing with a donkey with a temperament...... "He tried his brute strength in vain but to no avail, and his body, which was seriously lacking exercise, was already a little uneven."
"Puff......" Xiao Nan was amused by Han Zheng's words, and said sarcastically with a smile: "You are still embarrassed to laugh, of course the car can't be pushed with the gear on, how can you complain about other people's cars, it's obviously you who are stupid, right?"
Han Zheng didn't react for a while, pushed the motorcycle until he walked in front of Xiao Nan, and when he saw Xiao Nan's smiling expression, he suddenly realized that he was metaphorically a stupid donkey by this girl, and suddenly feigned anger and said: "Okay, you sharp-toothed girl, you dare to laugh at me for being a stupid donkey, see how I clean you up!"
Of course, Han Zheng's appearance of opening his teeth and dancing claws is deliberately made to amuse, there are a lot of girls in the planning department, since Lao Zuo transferred three young test riders from the CQ headquarters, there are a lot more boys, everyone is a young person, and they often play together after work, and it is common for each other to fight and joke or something, and the girls of the motorcycle baby are quite crazy to play except for Xiong Mi, who is always cold, and even Han Zheng has become accustomed to this atmosphere after a long time, and he joked with Xiao Nan as soon as his brain was hot。
Xiao Nan didn't feel a little nervous in the face of Han Zheng, who was approaching step by step like a "hooligan", because she knew that Han Zheng was just making a show, although her body injury had not healed, if Han Zheng really wanted to do something to her here, she had no way to fight back, even if she called for help, she didn't expect anyone to pass by in this silent canyon...... But Xiao Nan believes that she knows Han Zheng, and she thinks that Han Zheng will never do anything to hurt herself.
Although he has never been able to accept Han Zheng's feelings, this does not mean that Xiao Nan hates Han Zheng, on the contrary, after getting along with each other for so long, Xiao Nan has always felt that Han Zheng is a very good person, although this guy is not particularly talented at work, but he is very hard and serious, and he treats colleagues and friends more sincerely, and he seems to be a little clumsy in dealing with people, but in fact he has his own style - in short, in Xiao Nan's impression, Han Zheng is a "good person", he is by no means the kind of scum who will take advantage of people's danger and do whatever it takes.
However, what Xiao Nan didn't know was that it was precisely because she always looked up at Han Zheng with a smile that the sense of trust in her eyes completely dispelled a trace of the sinister thoughts in Han Zheng's heart in an instant - imagine a young man with strong blood, facing the girl he has always liked, the environment is so closed, and the girl is as delicate and weak as a little sheep, how can he not have a little bit of heart?
Han Zheng, who was alert from impulsiveness, quickly put away his movements, and turned his face a little embarrassed to scratch the scalp at the back of his head, and couldn't help but worry that his psychological fluctuations just now would be perceived by the beautiful and melancholy big eyes on the other side, but fortunately, when he mustered up the courage to turn his face, he found that Xiao Nan was still smiling indifferently, and his nervous emotions were completely dispelled.
"You teach me how to fix the car, let's fix the car together, and we don't have to wait for someone to pick us up." Han Zheng tried to change the subject.
"Okay. Xiao Nan was not unaware of Han Zheng's emotional fluctuations, and it was certainly good to be able to divert the attention of the two of them elsewhere so as not to get along awkwardly. "You open the tool box hanging on the left rear of the saddle and take out all the tools inside. ”
"Good. Han Zheng obediently returned to the side of the off-road forest road locomotive, got the tools on the vehicle according to what Xiao Nan said, and returned to Xiao Nan to ask her what to do next.
"You remove the saddle first, you only need to twist two screws, just use this socket wrench, a 10MM pullover......" Xiao Nan picked out the tool from Han Zheng's hand, and was talking about the method of repairing the car when she suddenly stopped, her eyes looked straight behind Han Zheng, as if she had seen something amazing.
Han Zheng was taken aback by Xiao Nan's expression, and slowly turned around to look at Xiao Nan's eyes, and was immediately stunned! I saw a cat the size of a medium-sized dog standing on the other side of the stream behind him!
Han Zheng has lived in the city since he was a child, although he has also seen tigers and leopards in the zoo, but after all, it is through a big iron cage, and people will not feel any threat, but now, that guy is on the other side of the creek less than five meters away, standing there staring at them with a pair of yellow and clear cat eyes, and a low roar is still coming out of his throat from time to time.
A huge sense of fear suddenly hit Han Zheng's heart! He had heard the news of a leopard in the Taihang Mountains in the news before, but he never expected to meet him here today! And the distance was really close, and he felt that the guy could jump over the stream with a light jump.
Han Zheng felt that his heart was beating so fast that he seemed to be beating a drum, and his first reaction in his mind was to want to run away quickly, but his legs were as if they were filled with lead, and he couldn't even take a step if he wanted to escape, and there seemed to be only one pair of eyes left on his body that could still move back and forth, but he didn't dare to look at other places at all, for fear that as soon as his eyes left the big cat opposite, the guy would pounce on him and bite his throat.
For Han Zheng at this time, time seemed to stand still at this moment, and every second was as long as a lifetime. Beads of sweat the size of beans continued to appear on his forehead, and for a moment, Han Zheng seemed to have a premonition that his life was about to come to an end.
No one would be willing to die at such a young age, but Han Zheng knew that he didn't have many options now, and he could only choose between 1 fighting and 2 turning around and fleeing. But fighting a feline beast bigger than a dog? No kidding! With what? He pinched the socket wrench in his hand, this thing is no more than twenty centimeters long, without blades and no points, it is better to fight a leopard with this than with a stone, at least that thing is everywhere, it can be used as a throwing weapon or a hand to smash it, as for the effect, it is hehe......
So, what about escaping? Who has the confidence to be able to run faster than a leopard on a rugged mountain road? Olympic Games champion Usain Bolt's 100-meter run is only about 40 kilometers per hour, while the wild boar in the mountains can soar to 60 kilometers per hour, not to mention the natural enemy of the wild boar, a lightning-fast leopard! I'm afraid that if I turn around and run out no more than 10 meters, I will be pounced by the beast at once? Unless, unless......
Han Zheng suddenly thought of Xiao Nan behind him, what would she do if she ran away? She has an old wound on her body that has not healed now, not to mention that she is a fierce leopard, even if it is herself, if she wanted to do something bad to her just now, I am afraid that she will have succeeded now......
Thinking of this, Han Zheng's brain thundered, and a thought crept out of the deepest part of his heart.
If he were a leopard, what would he choose in the face of a man who was strong and desperate to escape, and a girl who was delicate and delicate, and who was powerless?
Han Zheng was frightened by this thought in his heart, he could hardly believe that such a shameless thought could be his own thoughts, he scolded in his heart that he should stay desperately to protect the girl he loved, but the desire to survive overrode everything at this moment......
Han Zheng had not completely decided whether to leave Xiao Nan and run away by himself, or stay to protect Xiao Nan and fight to the death with the leopard, he suddenly felt that his hand was gently held from behind, the small palm that stretched out was soft and boneless, and the five slender fingers were a little cold, only the palm of the palm was a little warm.
"Xiao Han, don't be afraid, it's just a lynx, not a leopard, at most it's an oversized cat...... It's too timid to hurt us. ”
Xiao Nan's tone was very calm, and she obviously lowered her voice in order not to frighten the big cat opposite, but her words were as deafening as a thunderbolt in the clear sky to Han Zheng's ears.
"Lynx?big cat?" Han Zheng looked at the feline beast opposite again suspiciously, and sure enough, except for a tuft of long hair on his ears, that guy was completely the face of a domestic civet cat, but his body was much larger than that of ordinary domestic cats, his limbs were long and thick, and the expression on his face was more "serious", not as innocent and cute as domestic cats...... But in any case, it is certain that the guy is definitely not the leopard he knows.
