Chapter Forty-Six: The Strange Flying Squirrel

In the silent cave, Su Mo's whole body was tense, and his nerves were about to collapse. At this moment, perhaps the heart responded, and there were many shadows around, and in the dim candlelight, there was a sense of ghostly shadows. Even the temperature seems to have dropped, and there is a cold feeling in the trance.

Calm down, calm down, calm down! There are no ghosts in this world! This is not a fantasy novel world! This is the Ming Dynasty, and it is the living human world! You must be firm in your heart, and suspicion will give birth to dark ghosts!

The sweat on Su Mo's forehead finally flowed down, stinging in his eyes, but he didn't care about it at all. still maintains the highest level of vigilance, and constantly cheers himself up in his heart.

Quiver!

Suddenly, there was a strange sound from one side, which seemed to be the sound of a palm hitting a stone wall. Although it was slight and almost inaudible, with Su Mo's state at the moment, it was like a thunderstorm in the Nine Heavens when it fell on his ears.

His body was still motionless, but his head was turning little by little, at an extremely slow pace, and finally he looked away.

Boom! The moment his gaze finally froze, Su Mo's mind was like a thunderclap, and his face showed fear that could no longer be controlled.

There, on the left side of the other person at this moment, two points of ghostly light quietly appeared, reflected by the faint candlelight on the ground, so abrupt, so weird.

What the hell is it?monster?Monster?Monster?Or, alien?

Su Mo subconsciously even held his breath, his eyes widened, staring at the two spectral lights, his mind was tumbling endlessly, in his past life and this life, all the legends, mysteries, and treacherous knowledge that he had heard came up.

In the underground cavern, the two eyes were staring at each other, but they were all motionless. If someone came down and saw it at this time, they would definitely think that Su Mo was just a sculpture.

Su Mo didn't move, and the ghost light didn't move. I don't know how long it took, Su Mo suddenly had a kind of realization, the other side didn't know what it was, and it didn't seem to have any ill will towards him. On the contrary, it seems that he is also quite afraid of Su Mo.

The pair of ghostly lights should be the eyes of this thing. This can be seen in the occasional fluctuations.

Sensing this, Su Mo suddenly thought of a sentence that the old people often said, that is: people are afraid of ghosts for three points, but ghosts are afraid of people for seven points. Regardless of whether this thing on the other side is a ghost or not, it is obviously this kind of situation in which a wolf is afraid of both ends.

Su Mo's initial fear subsided, and his clever mind was put to good use again. After carefully observing it again, I suddenly felt a feeling in my heart. The guy on the other side seems to be ...... Seems to be curious about Su Mo.

Moreover, facing these eyes, Su Mo somehow had the feeling of facing a child. There is curiosity, expectation, hesitation, and a little timidity in his eyes.

For this sudden feeling, Su Mo himself felt unbelievable. Just a moment of thought in my heart, a thought came to mind.

Still staring at each other's eyes, trying to calm down, trying to express kindness, gentleness and friendliness as much as possible.

At the same time, slowly insert the waist knife in your hand back into the scabbard at a very slow speed.

As he made these movements, there was a clear sense of vigilance in the eyes on the other side at first. It seemed to flicker, and then disappeared in an instant. It was only for a moment, but it was revealed a little farther away, like a naughty child, nervously snooping on strangers trying to get close to him.

Su Mo suddenly felt like laughing in his heart. He vaguely felt that no matter what this guy was, he must not be very old. At the same time, he was almost certain that the little guy really had no ill will towards him.

"My name is Sumer, human. Do you understand that I have no ill intentions and will not hurt you. Hmmm, you see?" he tried to speak slowly, feeling strange in his heart, but also with an inexplicable anticipation.

The eyes on the other side seemed to flicker again, but this time they didn't disappear, they still looked at him fixedly, and there seemed to be a little more confusion in their eyes.

"Childe, Childe, Su Gongzi, are you okay?"

Suddenly, a shout came in from afar, but Chu Yushan and the others were a little worried, and couldn't help but shout. Those eyes were startled, and disappeared in an instant.

Su Mo almost scolded his mother. I had to sigh, turn my head and shout to the place where I came: "I'm fine, you wait up there, don't come down." ”

After this shout, there was no sound outside, and the cave fell silent again.

Su Mo stood in place, looking left and right, and suddenly remembered something, reached into his arms, and found a small cloth bag.

This was given to him by Han Xing'er last night, and it was Han Niu'er's favorite snack: melon seeds. This stupid girl thought that she liked it, so she also liked it as Ailang, and carefully wrapped a small bag, packed it in a cloth bag, and insisted that Su Mo take it.

Su Mo was funny at the time, and his heart was also moved, so he took it casually. I thought about it just now, and I just wanted to see if I could lure that little guy out in this way.

"Don't be afraid, you see, I really don't have any ill intentions. Well, if you're there, come out and see, I've got something delicious here. ”

Su Mo opened the cloth bag, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and said temptingly while knocking on them. As soon as the words came out, I felt speechless for a while. Just think about the fact that this guy on the other side doesn't know what kind of breed it is, if it's really some kind of alien creature......

Thinking of tempting an alien monster to see a goldfish, Su Mo couldn't help but shudder, and he was chilled by his own thoughts.

After shouting and waiting for a while, suddenly I felt something, and looked sideways slightly, and sure enough, those eyes appeared again, but this time they were to the right.

Su Mo was very happy in his heart, put a few melon seeds in his palm, slowly squatted down, stretched out his hand, and said, "Come, come on, you see, it's delicious and fragrant." Come on, let's try it. ”

The eyes seemed to be dodging backwards, but then stopped, and the gaze finally fell on Su Mo's palm, the eyes were shining, looking at Su Mo's eyes, it was like a child seeing something delicious, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart.

It's just that this little thing is obviously extremely cautious, and although it shows curiosity and desire, it still refuses to approach, and just stays. One moment he looked at Su Mo, and the other time he looked at the melon seeds in his palm, as if he was hesitant.

Su Mo almost laughed out loud, thought about it, put the melon seeds on his left hand, pinched one with his right hand, and said to those eyes: "You don't dare to come over, I'll throw you one to taste first, okay?" As he spoke, he threw the melon seeds over with a gentle throw.

Those eyes seemed to be startled, and they disappeared in an instant. Su Mo pouted his teeth, secretly regretting that he was impatient, but his eyes lit up again. It turned out that those eyes had reappeared. It's as if he just subconsciously dodged a little.

Su Mo was overjoyed, held his breath, and watched quietly.

The eyes stared straight at him for a moment, and finally moved their gaze to the ground in front of them again. There, a melon seed that Su Mo had just thrown was lying there quietly.

Su Mo keenly noticed that those eyes were very human, full of surprise, hesitation, antiquation, and eagerness.

There was a door in the secret passage in my heart, so I simply squatted in place and waited silently.

Half a ring, and finally the eye began to move. First a little, then a little more, slowly moving outward. Every time he moved, he had to look at Su Mo. And Su Mo was also blessed to the heart, and every time he returned a gentle and friendly smile.

After a few times, the eye seemed to finally determine the kindness of the human opposite. After a soft sound, he finally poked his head out of a thin crack in the cave wall, looked at it slightly, and jumped down like lightning, but in a trance, he swooped back again. The whole process is so fast that you don't even have time to blink your eyes.

But just for a moment, Su Mo finally saw the general appearance of the other party, and suddenly couldn't help but open his mouth wide, with a look of disbelief.

The small round head, pointed ears, hairy body, all four claws, seems to have layers of flesh wings between the legs and claws......

This thing...... He seemed to be impressed, but he couldn't remember what it was.

There was a soft sound, and the little thing hugged its paws forward and put it to its mouth, obviously knocking the skin of the melon seeds open, and was about to enjoy the delicious meat inside.

Su Mo was shocked again. This guy is too smart to know how to peel? What kind of species is this?

Gently tapped his head in distress, only to feel that the memory was about to come out, but he just couldn't remember it vaguely.

In the faint candlelight, there was a sound in the shadows, and the mouth of the little thing could be seen squirming rapidly, apparently eating quite happily.

It looks like a rat...... Su Mo thought subconsciously. But suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed, and the memory that could not be captured for a long time instantly became clear.

No, it's not the same thing as the rat we often talk about. To be exact, it should belong to the rat family, no, it is the squirrel family. His scientific name is Flying Squirrel!

If everyone is not familiar with flying squirrels, then when it comes to another name for this little thing, it is very famous. The name is "Chill Bird".

That's right, it's the cold horn bird. The fable that almost most people are familiar with is actually born from this little guy called the flying squirrel.

Flying squirrels are also considered to be members of the pet rat family in later generations. Flying squirrels like to be quiet but do not like to move, and wild flying squirrels mostly live in some crevices and caves in the mountains. They don't make nests, they just squat on them. This may be the reason why it is named the cold trumpet bird.

Between the feet and front paws, flying squirrels have a fleshy wing that grants them a brief glide skill. Therefore, there are also those who call them flying squirrels.

In addition to their fleshy wings, they also have a beautiful large tail. Fluffy and fluffy, which not only makes them look cuter, but also the steering wheel when flying in the air.

In later generations, there were 13 genera and 34 species of flying squirrels in the world. China occupies 7 species and 16 genera, while only 3 species are endemic to China.

Flying squirrels are easy to domesticate, and because some special species have bright coat colors, when they are not flying, they are almost the same as squirrels, so they are very popular with pet lovers.

It's just that after Su Mo almost confirmed the origin of this little thing, he immediately had some more doubts.

The first is speed.

Although the flying squirrel has a magnificent flying skill, it cannot fly freely like a bird, and can only glide by relying on the difference between the trees and the forest. Since it's gliding, the speed won't be too fast. As for running on the ground, not to mention.

But the guy in front of him, a few times he moved, and the speed was like a ghost, completely subverting Su Mo's cognition;

In addition to these, there is its own characteristics. Flying squirrels like to live in trees, rock crevices in cliffs, and caves. I've never heard of anything underground.

Therefore, this guy in front of him is completely an anomaly.

When Su Mo flipped through his memories and recalled the description of the flying squirrel in his memory, the little thing's melon seeds had already been eaten. At this moment, his eyes were bright and he looked at Su Mo, and he didn't know when he had jumped out, so he landed in front of the cave wall and squatted, as if he was thinking about whether he should take the initiative to ask this human for some delicious things just now.

When Su Mo finally came back to his senses, what he saw was the little guy holding his two front paws, tilting his head and looking at him, while carefully taking two steps forward and two steps back. The tangled hesitation in his eyes didn't make Su Mo laugh out loud.

He put the melon seeds on his right palm again, only slightly spread them on the ground in front of him, and said in a gentle voice, "Do you want to eat it?" ”

Unlike before, this time in addition to mildness, there is a bit of intimacy. But Su Mo unexpectedly thought that like this little guy, he appeared in this era, and appeared in this way, wouldn't he be an outlier?

Originally, he thought that he was the only one in the world who was an outlier like him. Even if there is constant affection, love, and friendship, at certain moments, I always feel a kind of loneliness in my heart. This is also the reason why he is in a low mood several times.

But today, he suddenly saw another anomaly. Although he was just a flying squirrel, he still couldn't help but feel kind. It seems that in this way, the hidden loneliness has also been reduced a lot.

It's an almost mystical feeling. There was no reason, no reason, just natural doing.

The little flying squirrel seemed to feel something, stood up slightly, and looked up at him. After hesitating for a while, he slowly moved his steps, and finally leaned over little by little.

When he got to his hand, he tilted his head to look at him again, then lowered his head, quickly picked up a melon seed with his two front paws, squatted in place, and ate it with a click.

Su Mo was not in a hurry, and kept his posture motionless until it had eaten it all, then he turned over his hand and tentatively stroked it.

The little flying squirrel shuddered as if to run away, but then stopped and let the hand fall on his back. With Su Mo's gentle touch, his body slowly relaxed, and his eyes showed a look of joy and enjoyment.

Su Mo felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and muttered: "Is it okay to come with me?" In this world, you and I are strange existences, and we must be much happier to be companions together." ”

The little flying squirrel looked at him, and at this moment, it seemed to understand his words. The little claws scratched his palm, and suddenly quickly ran down his arm to his shoulder, and just squatted beside his neck and did not move.

Su Mo was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and couldn't help laughing. The laughter echoed in the empty hole, and the little flying squirrel crouching on his shoulder trembled slightly, and then seemed to understand his joy, and then stood up, rubbed his neck affectionately with his furry body, and squeaked twice.

Su Mo was stunned for a moment, took it down, held it in his palm, held it in front of his eyes and said with a smile: "You little thing, but you understand human nature, don't say that you can even understand human words." Why don't you tell me, what's your name, and see if I'm really capable of it. ”

The little flying squirrel squatted in the palm of his hand, tilting its head and staring at him with big round eyes, as if thinking. Leaning slightly, he suddenly stretched out his front paws and patted his palm, making two trembling sounds. Then, with all four claws in unison, he scurried back to his shoulders with skill and swiftness, and did not move.

Su Mo was stunned, and he didn't expect this little thing to really respond. Although it may be just a meaningless act, he prefers to respond to himself consciously.

At the moment, he laughed, reached out and stroked the little thing, and said happily: "You slapped this sound, or why don't you just call it Duoduo?" ”

He called twice in a row, and the little flying squirrel rubbed against him, squeaking a few times, Su Mo couldn't help but be happy, and suddenly smiled. He doesn't know if others believe it or not, but he believes it anyway, and this is Duoduo's clear response to himself.

I called it a few more times at the moment, and each time Duoduo squeaked in response, which was quite funny. One person and one mouse, all happy.

After teasing the little flying squirrel, Su Mo walked up to Tian Qianli's corpse, patted Duoduo's little head, and said with a smile: "Tell me honestly, was this guy scared to death by you?"

The little flying squirrel looked up at Tian Qianli's corpse, and then at Su Mo, and suddenly squeaked, and the two little paws also seemed to be gesturing something.

Su Mo was happy, and laughed: "Do you say that he is cowardly? Is this considered a quibble? Okay, okay, you are considered meritorious." Before we met, I got rid of an enemy for my master. Well, there's a reward. As he spoke, he took out the small cloth bag and simply hung it directly on the neck of the little flying squirrel.

When the little flying squirrel smelled the fragrance of melon seeds, he was overjoyed, hugged Su Mo's ears with his two front paws, and rubbed Su Mo's cheeks hard. Only then did he reach into the bag and found a melon seed and knocked it up.

Su Mo's eyes almost popped out. This little thing is obviously not low in wisdom. Presumably, it is due to some kind of mutation in the mysterious environment of life. This time, I really picked up a treasure.

Now that you've figured out the secret of this cave, there's no need to stay here any longer. It's been so long, and Chu Yushan above is afraid that they will have to wait in a hurry. It's just that Tian Qianli's body can't stay here, after all, he is a member of the Tian family, and he always has to give an explanation to the Tian family.

It's just that when he died like this, although he didn't have time to ask about the Tian family from his mouth, he didn't have to design how to kill him by himself, but it saved trouble. With the testimony of Zhang Heng and others, and the appearance of this guy's death, no matter how suspicious and unwilling the Tian family is, they will never be able to say anything else.

Bent down and half-dragged the corpse and carried it up, fortunately, after these days of exercise, it is not as weak as before, plus Tian Qianli is already thin, but he can also move.

Then he turned and took the candle that had been planted on the ground, and then went out.

When he arrived at the entrance to the cave leading to the top, he shouted, and Chu Yushan, who had been waiting for a long time, appeared in response, and first pulled Tian Qianli's corpse up with a rope, and then lowered the rope and pulled Su Mo up.

When Su Mo stood firm, Chu Yushan was about to speak with excitement on his face, but when he saw Duoduo squatting on his shoulder, he was taken aback, pointed at Duoduo, and couldn't speak with his mouth open and closed.

It's no wonder he was surprised, this was originally said to go down to subdue demons and eliminate demons, but after coming up, there was a strange mouse. Moreover, this mouse is obviously weird, and even has a cloth bag around its neck, which can be eaten by itself. This...... Isn't that what it is...... Is it the youkai below?

Su Mo looked at him, how could he not know what he was thinking. Haha smiled proudly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's just a flying squirrel with a lot of human nature, what do you think." However, Tian Qianli's death really has something to do with it. ”

The horror in Chu Yushan's eyes decreased slightly, but he still looked at Duoduo with a little awe. Su Mo didn't say much, and asked him to call Zhang Heng and Li Zheng outside in, and then he talked about the situation in general. If you want to explain to the Tian family, you must first let these people understand, otherwise how can you testify?

Of course, the cause of the hole below or something, there are still many possibilities of mutation, Su Mo will not say. Just a few simple sentences perfunctory.

After listening to Su Mo's speech, Zhang Heng couldn't help but open his mouth wide, and when his eyes looked at Duoduo, they all had a little awe.

Su Mo shook his head secretly, knowing that these people were still suspicious, so he simply didn't explain anymore. As long as you can explain the cause and effect of the matter, you can do it. Even if some fantasy factors are added, it may make the Tian family more jealous of themselves, and more scruples about themselves when they are thinking about themselves. Anyway, it's not the first time that someone Su has pretended to be a big fairy, and if there are more lice, it won't itch, so it's up to him to go.

sent Zhang Heng to the city to buy a coffin, and at the same time went to Tian's house to report the incident. The hole in the ground below here has to be kept, and it can only be buried after the Tian family comes to see it.

So someone has to guard the outside of this small tent, don't let people get close, Li Zheng and the others agreed.

Regardless of the one on Su Gongzi's shoulder, uh, whether it is or not, anyway, the danger below is solved, and Li Zheng and the others are not afraid.

Su Mo commanded Chu Yushan a few more words, and Chu Yushan nodded. Since Tian Qianli's body is to be returned openly, the matter of this cave cannot be hidden. Instead of mysteriously giving people room for conjecture, it is better to spread out one step ahead and let everyone know.

People are curious or afraid of the unknown. Many of the previous situations were unclear and could not be explained, so of course they had to be kept secret. Now that Su Mo has gone through it himself, solved the matter, and then told everyone about it, at most, it will give Su Mo an extra layer of mysterious aura, but it will not cause any riots and fears.

As for whether Su Mo will be deified by the disaster victims? What does it matter? The more these disaster victims deify Su Mo, the greater the trust and cohesion in Su Mo, and the more conducive it will be to the implementation of Su Mo's various arrangements.

Therefore, what Su Mo instructed Chu Yushan to do was to have a choice and spread this matter in advance.

After arranging a few people, Su Mo walked around the construction site. Then Shi Shiran walked to Father Han's side, first, to ask about the house he said earlier, and secondly, to wait for the people of the Tian family to come and collect Tian Qianli's body.

Father Han had obviously learned about Tian Qianli from Zhang Heng, and after seeing Su Mo, his eyes looked at him for a long time, obviously suspicious. It's just that when he saw the legendary one, who was squatting on Su Mo's shoulder happily knocking melon seeds, his pupils shrank significantly, and if he said anything else, he had nothing to do with Tian Qianli.

simply said the requirements for the house, and then hid away in a panic, and even warned Su Mo openly or secretly every time they met, and did not mention the words that he was not allowed to attack his daughter.

Su Mo wiped his nose and smiled bitterly, squinted his eyes and glanced at it more, patted its little head angrily and said, "I don't think that your power is stronger than your master's character." ”

Duoduo looked dazed and didn't know why, just eating happily, how could he have time to think about anything else. The character of the owner? What is that? Is it delicious?

Uncle Duoduo decided to ignore this inexplicable master this time, rubbed his ass twice as if he was dealing with something, and then started eating.
