Chapter 244: Back to Base
Mice aren't afraid of cats?
A small mouse posing in front of a cat?
This rat is not as big as an egg, why is it dragging?
To be honest, it was the first time Zheng Si had encountered this situation.
So, the original decision to throw away the obstructive mouse after the lead cat left was changed.
The vines on this little mouse were still tied and had not been completely bitten, and what was even more arrogant was that after glaring at Zheng Si, the red-haired rat began to bite again, without putting Zheng Si in his eyes at all.
It's really unscrupulous.
Zheng Si raised his hand and planned to teach this rampant red-haired rat a lesson.
The red-haired rat was tied with vines before, but now that it has been walking for so long, the red-haired rat has squeezed its head out of the "cocoon" by itself, and at the same time, under the "cocoon", the small tail has also been exposed.
Zheng Si bent his palm, picked up the tail of the red-haired rat and picked it up, and after turning it around for more than 20 circles, Zheng Si stopped.
The red-haired mouse didn't move for a long time, it seemed to have been dizzy, Zheng Si raised his hand and was about to pull twice to see if the mouse was turned stupid, but he didn't think that when the hand was about to touch, the red-haired mouse suddenly stretched out his neck and bit it, if it wasn't for Zheng Si's quick hand, plus the red-haired mouse was indeed affected by the action, it is estimated that it will be bitten. Looking at the red-haired rat biting the vine, you know that this guy's teeth and bite force are quite lethal.
Do you still have the courage and strength to bite?
However, at this time, Zheng Si didn't plan to do anything more, and directly broke its cervical vertebrae. The important thing now is to hurry, he doesn't have time to spend here with a mouse.
However, Zheng Si had just raised his paws halfway, and the red-haired rat, which had almost bitten off the vines, suddenly paused, looked around vigilantly, stretched his neck to look under the tree, and with a cautious feeling, it seemed that he had found something dangerous.
Zheng Si didn't know if the red-haired rat had really noticed something abnormal, or if he was playing some kind of ghost idea, just in case. Zheng Si still has to be vigilant. If there is an abnormality, you have to be careful to deal with it earlier.
So, Zheng Si quickly pressed the red-haired rat and didn't let it move. Then look under the tree.
Suddenly, the red-haired rat who was held down by Zheng Si squeaked. Struggling. But he couldn't move it away from Zheng Si's palm, Zheng Si didn't mean to pity it at all, and he could directly press it to death with a little force.
Only then did the red-haired rat realize that the cat in front of him was also a danger. Perhaps in its memory, it only has a deep fear of the cats in that area, and it has no memory of Zheng Si, a very strange animal with a smell, and it is estimated that it also feels that Zheng Si has no intention of eating it at all, so it was so rampant before, and its experience since birth told it that being larger than it does not mean that it is dangerous, and being smaller than it does not mean that it is not lethal.
Unfortunately, this time, it miscalculated. The cat really didn't mean to eat it, but it wasn't easy to mess with, and it had enough power to squeeze it to death with one palm. So after screaming, he stopped, struggled for a while, and then settled down again, but his eyes slipped around, probably thinking about how to escape.
Zheng Si didn't pay attention to the red-haired rat stepping on, staring intently below, supporting his ears to listen to the surrounding movements. Just when he thought that the red-haired mouse was playing with him again, he suddenly heard a slight sound.
Zheng Si, who was about to trouble the red-haired mouse, immediately focused on paying attention to the sound.
The small sound of rubbing against the ground and the surrounding grass gradually came this way. Zheng sighed and looked over there with bated breath, feeling nervous in his heart. He could already guess what it was.
A snake with a thick bowl mouth came out of the grass over there, and it was not difficult for the body to swallow a cat of Zheng Si's size, Zheng Si had also seen such a big snake in the city, but it was specially raised by some people, and Zheng Si had not become a cat at that time, so he didn't feel how scared he was, but now, in this jungle full of crises, Zheng Si's whole body hair almost exploded.
Fortunately, the direction of the snake was not the tree where Zheng Si was staying, and the snake had already eaten, and an obvious protrusion could be seen on the snake's body.
Looking around, Zheng Si guessed that the snake should be planning to go to the wetland not far away.
After the snake left, Zheng Si waited a little longer before coming down from the tree.
This time, Zheng Si didn't plan to directly release or kill the red-haired rat, and found a vine to tie up the red-haired rat, this time it took a little more thought, tie a circle and tie two knots, and then tie a circle, repeat a few times, so that even if you bite off one of the vines, it will not let it run away immediately.
Yes, Zheng Si plans to keep this guy as a warning.
This well-preserved primeval forest has many dangerous and inaccessible places, and all kinds of creatures in the ancient and magical mountain forest are multiplying and endless, and countless generations of life are active here, and the primitive vastness makes people feel unfathomable. In the past 20 years, expeditions have been organized at home and abroad to enter this mountain forest with various legends and stories, and some universities and research institutes have also organized field expeditions, which are a month or two or even longer as soon as they enter, but there are still many places that people cannot reach, miracles that cannot be discovered, and it also shows that there are countless unpredictable crises here.
Zheng Si admitted that he underestimated this mountain forest, and in Zheng Si's original consciousness, the forests full of various crises were not all similar to the Amazon jungle? What is there to be afraid of in this place of Qishan City, even if he followed the red striped cat into the forest, Zheng Si did not encounter danger and crisis, but now, he suddenly found that he was thinking too simply. There are many wild animals living in this forest, and Zheng Si may not be able to find them at the first time, as well as those unknown dangers.
Zheng Si didn't think that he was smarter than those scientific expedition personnel, and his life experience in the forest was not as good as such a little mouse, since he didn't have that high IQ and couldn't compare to the original inhabitants of these forests, and there was no second red markinged cat to lead the way, Zheng Si chose to take this red-haired mouse, maybe it could still be used, even if it couldn't be used, it could be used as a spare ration, and it could also be used as a bait to distract the attention of dangerous objects when it was in danger.
The speed of returning to the base is much slower than the speed of entering the forest, in the process. Zheng Si should be vigilant around, stop from time to time to listen to the surrounding movements, and take this red-haired rat, once you find that the red-haired rat is about to gnaw off all the vines, then change the vine and tie it, fortunately, there are many plants here, and there are many vines, Zheng Sian is looking for the kind of hard-to-bite, and there are some burrs, which increase the resistance to the red-haired rat's gnawing on the vines.
I heard that there are many plants here that have long been extinct in other parts of the world, and botanists call them "living fossils". Maybe the botanists will scream when they see it here. But Zheng Si was not interested at all.
Halfway through, Zheng Si saw a very big tree, Zheng Si didn't know what kind of tree it was, and he hadn't seen it before, probably because it was too old. There is a hole in the trunk. There are a lot of snakes crawling in and out of the hole. When Zheng Si jumped on a tree to judge the direction of walking and looked around, he saw it, glanced at it from a distance, and ran quickly. He didn't dare to die.
If you want to talk about the harvest, Zheng Si picked up a piece of amber, which he picked up when he went to the stream to drink water, I used to hear people say that picking up amber is in the mining area or the seaside, but I didn't expect to be able to pick one here. That piece of amber is about the same size as a quail egg, there is a small flower in it, I don't know what kind of flower it is, if it is a variety from tens of millions of years ago, it is really collectible, Zheng Si found a vine to wrap the piece of amber around, and then put it around the neck, so that it is not easy to lose, and went back to give it to the little grapefruit.
With a piece of amber, Zheng Si didn't feel anything, this thing is light and easy to bring.
When he was on the way, Zheng Si ate some fruit and caught a snake. He didn't know which snakes could eat and which couldn't, anyway, he happened to see the same species as the snake he ate last time, so he slaughtered it, a little smaller than the spotted cat caught, Zheng Si ate some again in order to hurry.
Eat the rest and feed it to the red-haired mouse, anyway, that's all it takes, it likes to eat it or not.
The red-haired rat seemed to be hungry and refused. Many rodents are omnivorous, and this red-haired rat can eat meat and be vegetarian, which also saves Zheng Si a lot of things.
After walking for three days in a row, at dusk on the third day, Zheng Si quickened his pace because he smelled the breath of people. When the sky darkened, Zheng Si was already running on the mountain where the base was located, but at this time, the light was dim, and many people didn't notice Zheng Si.
Although he was already very tired, when he saw the base, Zheng Si was very excited, and his feet did not slow down, but faster, and he even forgot that he was still holding a vine tied to a red-haired rat in his mouth.
In the dormitory of the base, Jiao's father closed the door, walked out of the dormitory building, walked out, and smoked a cigarette.
In the past few days, they have been in a bad mood because of the cat, and the two children have not gone out with the internship team for several days, saying that they are going to wait in the room, and the window is not closed, so they think about when the cat will come back. Jiao's father searched in the wild, and also paid some villagers to help find it, Jiao's mother asked the residents who lived in the mountains one by one, and they only said that they had seen a black cat a few days ago, and then they had never seen it again.
In fact, many residents around, as well as some teachers and security personnel at the base, have already decided that the cat was dragged away and eaten by some wild beast. This kind of thing happened here, and there were even big dogs, and after a while you would hear about the remains found somewhere in the wild, and the bones were full of tooth marks of unknown animals.
Several security guards who came out to patrol the base saw Jiao's father, came to say hello and asked him about looking for a cat, these days they always see the teacher surnamed Jiao come out to smoke, I heard that the adults and children in the family are dying because of the loss of the cat, and there is a notice to find the cat outside.
"Teacher Jiao, your cat hasn't been found yet?" A young looking man asked.
Dad Jiao shook his head.
"Don't worry, maybe it will come back on its own when, we used to have a cat there who disappeared for a month and came back on its own."
"Yes, don't worry, you can go back and rest, but don't go out, someone on the mountain went out in the middle of the night yesterday and was bitten by a snake, fortunately, it is not a poisonous snake."
A few security guards were talking one by one, and suddenly one of them pointed to the wall not far behind Jiao's father and shouted, "What's that?!" ”
As soon as Zheng Si climbed over the wall, he found a beam of light coming over, so he hurriedly jumped down, planning to run to the building where he lived, but when he didn't want to land, the vine suddenly broke, and the red-haired mouse also bit the vine almost.
When Jiao's father snatched the flashlight of one of the guards and ran over, he happened to see Zheng Si and the little mouse that was squeaking on the grass with Zheng Si slapping him. (To be continued.) )
