"Brother Mang, if you don't come out again, we're going to finish our dishes. Waiting for Liu Mang to come out of the kitchen with two fried vegetables, Wu Jing said.

"Eat, leave me alone. Liu Mang put the dish on the table, a 'bitter gourd scrambled egg' and a 'tiger skin green pepper': "How does this dish taste today?"

"I just want it!" Dr. Kang looked up and gave a thumbs up: "It's been a long time since I've eaten such a good dish!"

The numbness and spicinessness of these two dishes made everyone's foreheads sweat and their faces red, but they were all addicted.

"Officer Zhou, what about Officer Ji, are you still in the mountains?" asked Liu Mang after sitting down.

"I had already called just now, and he had already returned to the police station. Officer Zhou took a chopstick of bitter gourd and put it into his mouth: "If Lao Ji knew that it was Master Liu Mang and your chef today, he would definitely regret his intestines." ”

Day 2......

"Master Liu Mang, I'm going to trouble you this time. ”

Because it was far from the bottom of the mountain and the road was rugged, Dr. Kang discussed with the Forestry Bureau that the serow would not be transported down the mountain, but would be kept in a temple first, and then released back into the forest after the injury was healed. And Dr. Kang and Officer Zhou are also preparing to stay in the temple for a while.

"What's this, why don't you add two more pairs of chopsticks? Liu Mang waved his hand disappreciatively: "Besides, cooking is my job, and it's not troublesome at all."

"Master, what are you doing?" Liu Mang and Dr. Kang were chatting at the entrance of the temple, while Wu Jing pouted and lay under the temple courtyard wall, not knowing what the hell was going on.

"Jeba, you're just in time, your arm is long, help me pull it out. ”

"Dig for what?" Jeba crouched down, curious.

"The preserved egg is starting to be naughty again, and he has gone into the hole under the courtyard wall, and you can help me get it out. ”

"Who is the preserved egg?"

"Oh, preserved eggs are my pets, it's a lot of fun. ”

"Is it a dog?" Jeba leaned over to the bowl-sized hole in the corner of the courtyard, "How did it get into such a small hole?"

"Who said it was a dog?" Wu Jing pouted: "It's a mouse!"

"Mouse!" Jeba jumped up like an electric shock, and ducked back eight feet away, his voice trembling, "How is it a mouse......? I'm most afraid of rats!"

"Haha!" Seeing that Jeba was nearly two meters tall, he was actually afraid of small mice, and the huge contrast made Wu Jing grin against the wall.

"Monk, what are you laughing at?" Liu Mang walked over.

"Oops! I'm laughing to death!" Wu Jing covered her stomach, pointed at Jeba, and almost rolled on the ground: "Brother Mang, you ...... You know what? Big ones are afraid of rats!"

"What's this, everyone has something to fear, isn't it normal?" Liu Mang couldn't help but give him a blank look: "But what are you not good at, how can you raise mice?"

"Cut, preserved eggs are no ordinary mice. Wu Jing looked disdainful: "Even if someone else gives me a mountain of gold, I may not be able to change it!"

"What kind of rat is that?" Liu Mang's curiosity was aroused, and he leaned down to check the hole in the ground: "Fill some water and come out." ”

"How can you do that? Choke me to death!" Wu Jing leaned her head to the entrance of the cave and shouted softly, "Good boy, come out to eat." ”

"I'll go to the kitchen and get some peanuts to help you out. Just as Liu Mang was about to turn around and walk towards the door, a small gray animal probably heard Wu Jing's call, ran out of the hole quickly, and rushed to Wu Jing's shoulder.

"Isn't this just an ordinary mouse? Liu Mang glanced at it roughly, and immediately let out a soft sigh: "No, why does this mouse look so strange?

The gray mouse standing on Wu Jing's shoulder is far smaller than an ordinary mouse, and his whole body is about the size of an egg. Such a small body has a very slender tail, which looks uncoordinated. But what's even more special is that this mouse's two ears are actually bigger than its head, plus its forelimbs are very short, its hind limbs are very long, and with its round eyes, it looks like an Australian kangaroo that has shrunk countless times.

"What kind of disability? It's called a treasure hunt mouse, it's born like this!" argued Wu Jing.

"Isn't it a disability? I've never heard of a rat like this. Liu Mang couldn't help but take the mouse from Wu Jing's hand and held it in the palm of his hand to look at it carefully.

"Monk, you said it's called a treasure hunting mouse, does it really know how to hunt for treasures?"

"Of course!" Wu Jing was a little proud: "I've been training it for a long time, and I don't even let him watch it." ”

"Can you show me?" said Dr. Kang.

"Give. Liu Mang carefully carried the fur on the back of the neck of this treasure hunting mouse and sent it to Dr. Kang's open hand.

"Tsk!" Dr. Kang looked at it carefully, counted the toes of the mouse, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "This is a five-toed long-eared jerboa! Where did you catch it?"

"Doctor Kang, do you know?"

"Of course I do, don't forget what major I studied!" Dr. Kang nodded affirmatively: "Five-toed long-eared jerboas are mainly distributed in western Inner Mongolia, northern Gansu, Qaidam Basin in Qinghai and eastern and southern Xinjiang, the number is extremely rare, and it has been listed as the world's 100 most endangered species, China's key protected animal list, and the red list of endangered species in 2008. ”

"Scared, this kind of rat is also a protected animal?" Liu Mang was taken aback.

"Of course, and their numbers are only a few, or even rarer, than pandas. Dr. Kang looked serious.

"Monk, you seem to have a big deal. Liu Mang's heart chuckled.

"No, this is Shudi, the climate is humid, this jerboa won't come here at all, did you deliberately run to catch it?" Dr. Kang said again.

"Where is it!" Wu Jing rubbed his hands: "This mouse is my dead ghost master, I picked it up when I went out to transform my fate before, and I have been raising it for almost ten years, who knows what kind of bullshit protects animals?"

"Can a mouse live that long?" Liu Mang said in surprise.

"Theoretically, yes. Dr. Kang thought for a moment: "The average rat can only live for four to five years, but the world's largest rat, the capybara, can live for fifteen years, and the longest-lived marmot can even live for about twenty years. Our research on long-eared jerboas is limited, and they may live that long. ”

"Doctor Kang, the monk didn't know that it was a protected animal, so what should this jerboa do now?

"The punishment will not be, but according to the regulations of our country, it is likely that they will be released. ”

"Fart! The preserved egg is my sweetheart's baby!How can anyone throw his own son outside?" Wu Jing immediately exploded when she heard this, and reached out to grab the jerboa in Dr. Kang's hand.

"Don't worry, I'm not done yet. Doctor Kang was on the side of his body, dodging Wu Jing's outstretched claws: "The law is nothing more than human affection, you have raised it for so long, you have already raised it, and now releasing it is equivalent to killing it, so it is better to continue to raise it." ”

"That's pretty much it. Wu Jing reached out and took the jerboa and whistled, and the jerboa immediately got into the collar at the back of his neck, only poking out a small head to look around, which was very cute.

"Monk, you said that jerboa can hunt for treasures, how can you find a way to find it?"

"Want to know?" Wu Jing smiled: "Then I'll take you to see and see in the afternoon." ”
