Chapter 60
Zhen Meili didn't care about Xue'er's attitude, took out a shovel from the space, and prepared to dig and see. You have to gain something, and you have a bottom in your heart.
Gently shoveling up the snow on the ground, revealing the swarthy ground below, when she saw a little bit of green, Zhen Meili put down the shovel and used her hands to push the rest of the snow aside.
"Is this it? Xue'er, you're so good, you can really find plants under the snow. Seeing Xue'er nodding, Zhen Meili was finally relieved.
I didn't expect it to be covered in heavy snow, but after I came, I was worried that I wouldn't find anything for nothing. And there may not be time in the future, if you can go far away like this, your plans will be disrupted.
"Since I've dug it up, I think I'll plant it in the space first, it's more or less experience. Cher, you're waiting for me outside. Afraid that Xue'er would question herself about doubting it before, Zhen Meili hurriedly ran into the space and handed the dug honeysuckle to Xing'er to plant.
"Sister, don't worry about it now, Xue'er is not just playful. Xing'er is also very aware of everything that is happening outside, but it will not express too many opinions, but just pay attention to it at any time, so as not to miss anything or encounter any danger, you can remind it.
"Hehe, seeing is believing, and I really feel that there is a white expanse outside, some visual fatigue, and I need to do something to alleviate it. Zhen Meili said embarrassedly.
"Sister, come on. Now it seems that this mountain is still quite large, I guess you need to go out from the other direction, otherwise a week is too short, and you may have to return before you reach the deep mountain. Xing'er reminded.
"Well, looks like I'm going to have to pick up my pace. Zhen Meili got out of the space and let Xue'er continue to lead the way, and walked quickly to the depths of the mountains and forests with one person and one fox.
Before dark, Zhen Meili harvested a lot of plants and medicinal materials with the help of Xue'er, since Zhen Meili said, she wanted to collect some of everything, and when she encountered slightly special trees and medicinal materials, Xue'er pointed them out one by one and let her choose by herself.
Zhen Meili was digging a place where He Shou Wu grew in the place that Xue'er pointed out just now, and all she had encountered before were some ordinary medicinal herbs, and it was rare to encounter this kind of preciousness.
Therefore, Zhen Meili carefully cleaned the snow on the surface with her hands, revealing the leaves buried in the snow, because she was afraid of hurting the rhizomes, she did not dare to use tools, but the soil under the snow was frozen very hard, and Zhen Meimei's excavation work was very difficult.
"Ah, you can rest after digging this one today, it's going to be dark. Fortunately, you have Xue'er with me, otherwise this deep mountain and old forest is really a little scary. Zhen Meili was talking to Xue'er while digging.
"It would be nice if I could operate it with my consciousness like in space, I don't have to worry about digging it up, just think about it and let it come to my hands. ”
Zhen Meili waited for a long time, but she didn't see Xue'er reply, and she was about to say if she was asleep. Zhen Meili turned around and looked around, but she didn't find Xue'er's shadow.
"Strange, where did you go?Xing'er, did you see where Xue'er went?" The sky had already darkened, and Xue'er blended in with the surrounding colors again, Zhen Meili really couldn't find it for a while.
"Sister, I just felt something approaching here, but it disappeared all of a sudden, so I didn't tell you. Maybe Cher was chasing the thing she had just approached. Xing'er said embarrassedly, its attention was mainly on Zhen Meimei, because it knew Xue'er better, and it didn't think it would encounter any problems that it couldn't solve, so it didn't pay much attention.
"Then will it encounter any danger? In case it encounters any jackals, tigers and leopards, what should it do, it is so small, where is it someone else's opponent?" Zhen Meili heard Xing'er say this, and immediately worried.
"Don't worry, sister. Cher isn't as weak as you think, it's not your average fox. It comes from the future, and it is more advanced than ordinary creatures on the earth now, and animals will feel each other. Just like a sheep doesn't dare to provoke a tiger, for ordinary animals, Cher is what they can't provoke. Xing'er comforted Zhen Meimei.
"So how long has it been gone, and why hasn't it come back? I don't know how to say it, so I secretly ran away by myself, which makes people worry so much. What if it encounters someone who is not sensible and is not afraid of it, and fights with it?"
"Don't worry, sister, I think you should continue to dig He Shou Wu, divert your attention, maybe you won't be so worried. Xing'er didn't know what to do, so she had to persuade Zhen Meili to do something else.
"Where do I still have the heart to dig in the soil, I don't want to do anything until I see Xue'er come back safely. ”
"Sister, sister, I'm here, I'm back. As soon as she finished speaking, Zhen Meili heard Xue'er's voice ring in her head.
"Xue'er, is that you? Where did you go, didn't you get hurt?" Zhen Meili hurriedly asked.
"Hehe, I'm fine, sister, I'm on my way back, I'll be there soon. I just took in a little brother and trained it. Maybe she was a little far away just now and couldn't receive Zhen Meimei's call, but now Xue'er is rushing back, and when she heard Zhen Meili and Xing'er talking with consciousness, she quickly answered.
Seeing a black shadow moving from a distance, Zhen Meili knew that it was probably the little brother that Xue'er was talking about. When they arrived, Zhen Meili realized that Xue'er was sitting on the body of a leopard.
"This leopard is the little brother you said?" Zhen Meili asked as she looked at the leopard in front of her who bared her teeth and grinned when she saw her.
"Yes, sister. This is the clouded leopard, and I just noticed that it seems to have spotted us, wandering in the distance, and when I went to check, it ran away again. I thought it must be familiar with the mountains, so I wanted to catch up with it and ask it about it. I forgot to tell my sister for a while, I'm sorry for worrying you. Cher explained why she had just left quietly.
"Okay, you're fine. Zhen Meili looked at the tail with stubby and sturdy limbs, almost as long as her body, and very thick. The head is slightly rounded, the muzzle and nose are prominent, and the claws are very large. The leopard, which has a golden body color and is covered with large dark cloud-like markings, is no wonder it is called a clouded leopard. "But your little brother doesn't seem to be very friendly to me. ”
Hearing that Zhen Meili didn't blame it, Xue'er breathed a sigh of relief. He patted the clouded leopard on the head with his paws, chirping as if to say something. Just watch the clouded leopard slowly relax, lie down on the snow, and put away its previous guard.
"Sister, you can bring something for it to eat, it should have come out to forage before, but I chased it for a long time, and it is estimated that it has been hungry for a long time. Xue'er got off the clouded leopard and rubbed against Zhen Meimei's leg and said.
Zhen Meili thought that since it was a wild animal, it was estimated that it was eating live animals, so the chickens and ducks in the space grabbed two of them casually and threw them at the clouded leopard.
In this icy and snowy season, the clouded leopard has indeed not eaten a few good meals, and when it saw its prey, it immediately got up, and before the chickens and ducks woke up from the changed environment, they bit off their necks with two "clicks".
Zhen Meili watched the scene of the beast eating up close, but fortunately there was not much blood, and the clouded leopard ate the food cleanly.
