Chapter 239: The Cat in the Night

On the third day of arriving at the internship base, the students who had been divided into groups left the internship base with the leading teachers of each group.

The four members of the Jiao family were with one of the teams, and the two leading teachers of that team had a good relationship with Jiao's father, and they talked about their previous experience of leading the team when they walked into the forest on the mountain.

When you go out in the wild, everyone wears long sleeves and pants and shoes that are easy to climb, and they wear sunhats, there are many insects and mosquitoes in the forest on the mountain. Therefore, the students carried flower dew, water, wind oil essence and some anti-mosquito agents in their bags.

Zheng Si didn't feel anything, one is that he is now wearing a cat skin as a layer of protection, and the other is that he is used to it, and he usually always runs in some woods, thinking that it is nothing, and wearing some other things on his body is too hindering.

The teacher who led the team pointed to some plants and introduced them to the students while walking, and if they felt that they were valuable as specimens, they would pick some and pack them up, and make them into specimens together after they went back, as for those plants that were very common in Chuhua City, they were too lazy to bother.

On the first day of field practice, the teacher did not plan to take the students directly to a very remote place, but walked up the winding mountain road. The cement road is very smooth, which should be mainly for tourism, and after the population gradually decreased, they did not see many vehicles along the way, but they could see one or two crabs in the middle of the road after walking a little way. People are mantis arms as cars, it is mantis arms as cars, although there are no cars here, but there are many people.

Jiao Yuan followed those students, and every time he saw a crab on the road, he rushed up with a bottle as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and Jiao Yuan didn't have to reach out to grab it directly. There was a student chasing crabs in the back, and Jiao Yuan took a jar and placed it in front of the crab. Wait for the crab to climb in on its own. However, the quicker crabs are not so easy to catch, and the crabs crawl faster than the shrimp, and some let them slide down the slope from the side of the road to the stream below without paying attention.

There was a crab crawling towards Zheng Si, Zheng Si raised his paw and quickly lifted it to the side of the little grapefruit, the little grapefruit was also prepared, she was not afraid of the crab, she took the bottle and buckled it to the top, and other students naturally came to help. They will not give up this opportunity to please the teacher, help the teacher's children, and maybe let the teacher let them go and not fail the subject during the final exam.

Along the way, the group also caught a lot of crabs, except for a few people who used their own bottles to hold one or two crabs, the other crabs caught were put into a bag and loaded first.

Walked another way. The group deviated from the main road and climbed up the mountain. There are some people around here, and sometimes you can see one or two villagers living on the mountain, but unlike the well-built houses near the base before, these villagers' houses are very simple tiled houses.

Walking along the road, the leading teacher told the students about some of the plants they saw. I will also talk about the insects I know. Jiao's father also said something to the two children.

"Hey, there's a cat there!" Jiao Yuan pointed to a place and said.

Zheng Si looked along the place Jiao Yuan pointed, where there was indeed a cat running, and it quickly left everyone's field of vision and hid in those bushes. Those who were slower to react looked over and saw that the cat was gone. The cat was probably scared away by the movement of the group here.

"That's supposed to be a wildcat." One of the teachers said, "There are a lot of wild cats in this place. Some are domestic cats that return to the wild, and after several generations of breeding, they become wild cats. ”

After saying that, he felt uneasy, and the teacher told the students: "You should pay attention to those wild cats when you see them on the mountain, these cats are different from your pet cats, and their temper is one thing, they have not been vaccinated, and they don't know how many germs they carry when they run on the mountain all day, and it is better to stay away from them in the future." ”

Everyone looked at the cat in Associate Professor Jiao's house that didn't use a noose but didn't make trouble all the time, and then thought about the cat that disappeared at the slightest movement just now, is it really the difference between a domestic cat and a wild cat.

"Cats are very wild, and their ability to survive is also strong, and if they return to the wild, many will survive. It's a pity that it's those birds, two years ago, there were people from the Bird Protection Association who came to catch cats, and it didn't take long for cat-loving organizations to come to denounce it, alas. Another teacher who led the team said.

Zheng sighed in his heart: Sure enough, the organizations that love cats and birds really don't deal with each other.

I guess I don't think this topic is a good topic for students, and it is easy to cause conflicts if it is not good, so the teacher who led the team before did not continue, and said: "You say, is it possible for us to find an albino animal this time?" ”

"Hey, think beautifully, albino animals are so easy to find, even the people in the field examination team can't guarantee that they can meet every time, many of them are discovered by chance, this probability is too low." Another teacher who led the team laughed.

"You also said that it was an accident, no one can say if you will meet one at some point, maybe it will be a red animal!"

"Dream about you, you can really meet red animals, not to mention the overwhelming reports, just a few leaders in our hospital can tremble. It's a pity that those are just 'according to the data', although there have also been scientific expeditions to see red-haired bats and the like, last year in a nearby village some people also said to see red-haired wild boars, but there is no really convincing evidence, those people abroad do not admit that there are red-haired species at all, and in international authoritative magazines can only say that 'so far no red-haired mammals with red hair have been found', even if a red-haired mouse is caught, it will be a major event and big news in the world. ”

Therefore, the so-called "red animals" are only "said" and "legends".

Dad Jiao thought of something, and said with a smile: "Someone used to joke that if you really want to find a genuine reddish animal in its natural state, it can only be on the boundary of Qishan City." ”

Albinos can also be obtained after long-term artificial careful breeding and protection and cultivation, such as mice commonly used in the laboratory, artificial mutagenesis and cultivation can indeed create a lot of things, but the organisms in the real natural state are more valuable for research, and people who study this aspect in the circle know the research value of albinos and erythroidized animals, and reddened animals are even more so.

The last few words were whispered, and the two leading teachers and Jiao's father next to them heard them, and the students who were resting in the shade of the trees not far away did not pay attention to this.

According to the two leading teachers, there have been many albino animals and mammals in this part of the city, such as albino squirrels, foxes, bears, and so on. Some people once felt that the emergence of albino animals was due to the gradual shrinking of the living space of animals, the decrease in the number of populations, and the degeneration of inbreeding due to the development of human beings and the expansion of the scope of activities, but some people also felt that since the albinos in this place of Qishan existed in ancient times, and the number and concentration were more and more concentrated than other places in the world, it is unlikely to be a pure albinism phenomenon, and there may be other unknown reasons.

Speaking of unknown reasons, Zheng Si opened his mind, such as mysterious organizations, aliens or something. But it's just thinking about it, if someone really wants someone to say that it's an alien, Zheng Si doesn't necessarily believe it.

Just like Jiao's father said, there are many more unrecognized biological species on the earth than those already known, and although human knowledge is improving, there are still many unsolved mysteries. Perhaps, when civilization has developed to a certain extent, these mysteries will be solved...... I just don't know if the mystery of the cat's body and human heart can be solved.

Zheng Si was still thinking about whether it would be immediately made into a specimen if the reddish species they said were really discovered, and then he realized that if he really caught it, he would definitely be treated as an extremely precious species. It is true that scarcity is expensive, not to mention, for these researchers, the value of red animals is incomparable to other animals.

The little mouse Zheng sighed and killed, but the little red mouse really didn't meet it. Zheng Si is also looking forward to meeting a reddish animal, which is a worthwhile trip.

On the first day I went to the field, when I came back, the students were so tired that they went into the house and lay on the bed, and they didn't have the same spirit as the previous two days, and I heard that the other groups also encountered a snake falling directly from a tree, and almost hit a student below, and now the student is still in shock. I also heard that there was another group of students who were hit on the back of their hands by a mosquito-sized insect of unknown species in the tree, and although the insect quickly fell to the ground and crawled away, the back of the student's hand quickly swollen, like a pig's trotters, and it was said that he had to stay at the base for several days and could not go out. However, Zheng Si felt that the day was okay, and he was still in the mood to go out for a walk after dinner.

The two children took a bath and slept, and Zheng Si jumped out of the window, climbed out of the wall of the base, and walked to the cement road outside under the gaze of Jiao's father.

There are two- or three-story villa-style houses around, and it seems that many of the people who live around here have some assets.

From the side, there is only a mountain of varying heights, and the inhabited villages and towns will see the lights, but it is only a small patch, compared to the mountain forest area under the night, the light area is pitifully small.

Walking along the mountain, Zheng Si suddenly smelled a faint smell, which is probably difficult to smell with a person's sense of smell, and Zheng Si only sniffed out a little by relying on the cat's nose.

The smell made Zheng Si feel very bad, and it reminded him of the specimens he saw in museums, and he knew that many people like to decorate their homes nowadays with specimens of wild animals, such as deer heads. There are many examples of this in this place, but Zheng Si always feels a little strange.

Although he was curious, Zheng sighed and knew that he was not familiar with this place, and he felt a chill and couldn't take risks, so Zheng sighed and decided to leave.

But before Zheng Si could go far, he noticed a shadow flashing by.

In the night, the shadow quietly approached the house that Zheng Si was looking at just now. As he approached there, the guy glanced at Zheng Si.

Looking at those eyes, Zheng Si felt that the hairs all over his body exploded.

That's the guy who really survives the natural survival rules of the fittest, not a pet who stays at home all day without worrying about eating and drinking.

It was a cat, but it was different from a normal cat. Even if it doesn't have the size of the lord, it is about the same as peanut candy, and it makes Zheng Si feel the threat and oppression that is not weaker than the lord.
