Chapter 39: A Trembling Heart

……

Early morning on August 9th.

As soon as it was six o'clock, Mu Jiu opened his eyes and got up from the bed.

His long military career has made his biological clock extremely punctual, and even though he is now retired and does not have to go out for morning exercises, he still can't fall asleep again.

Anyway, he came here to work as a security guard, and he can't fall behind in his daily exercise, so let's go out and run two laps.

Ten square kilometers of farm, running around the road twice, is almost twenty kilometers. It's a pity that it's not as good as the troops, there is no equipment, and there is no way to conduct high-intensity training, which is a pity.

It took two minutes to finish washing, Mu Jiu took a towel, hung it around his neck, and ran out.

Probably because of being on the farm, the morning air is extremely fresh, and when you take a deep breath, you feel that your body is full of vitality.

Before Mu Jiu went out, he subconsciously glanced at the dried fur hanging under the eaves of the master bedroom.

It was a blue leopard fur.

To be honest, he has killed no less than dozens of blue-striped leopards, and he really shouldn't be surprised to see the fur of blue-striped leopards. But the problem is that this blue leopard fur is unusual for this farm to appear.

A complete blue-veined leopard fur can cost tens of thousands. Judging from his observations, this family is not a family that will spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy a piece of fur. Moreover, the fur is so complete that it looks like it has just been processed and has not yet been completely air-dried.

The answer is already on the horizon.

This blue-striped leopard had just been killed, and it was definitely someone from the farm who did it.

Mu Jiu exhaled deeply, adjusted his breathing, and strode forward. The wheat-colored arms were exposed, and the steaming heat on their bodies was entangled with the morning mist, and it was impossible to see clearly.

The thin mist swirled around his body, blurring his already cold and hard face, and also hiding the trace of complexity in his eyes.

In less than a day, the surprise in his heart had already made him almost lose his cool. If it weren't for the natural coldness of the lines on his face, I was afraid that someone would see through his strong pretense of calmness.

First of all, as soon as he finished packing his things in the army, he received a request from the eldest sister to follow her here.

The eldest sister told him that he must protect the family, and if possible, inquire who cultivated the "pandan red", but the others did not elaborate.

Although he didn't know anything about agriculture, he only knew that "pandan red" was a particularly good kind of rice, but looking at the attitude of the dean of Tianhua Academy, and the eldest sister told him so solemnly, he could guess that this matter must be very important, so he didn't dare to be sloppy.

To be honest, he was a little disappointed when he first saw the owner of this farm. After all, he was suppressed by the posture of the dean of Tianhua Academy and the eldest sister before, thinking that he was going to face such a powerful character, and he was ready to fight for a long time. When I met him, I found out that I was just an ordinary farmer, how could I not be a little disappointed?

However, what happened next turned out to be strange.

The eldest sister knows them, and it doesn't matter if she has a good attitude, maybe it's the eldest sister's personal friend, and it can't be counted.

However, isn't it strange that such a small farm drinks better tea than the chief's family?

And after that, the owner of the farm actually said that his son was his boss, isn't it strange?

Next, there was the blue leopard skin he saw in the backyard. Isn't it strange that there are people here who can take out the blue leopard? What's even more strange is that if someone can already kill the blue leopard, why do you need him to protect it?

Mu Jiukong was full of doubts, but he couldn't say it, his simple and upright heart had long been unbearable to death.

Just run to vent.

He quickened his pace a little more.

Bean-sized beads of sweat slid down his sideburns and rolled down his chin one by one. On his forehead, there are also drops of sweat falling.

Mu Jiu picked up the towel around his neck, wiped his sweat fiercely, and when he looked up, he found that a figure appeared faintly in the fog in front of him.

How could there be people on the farm at this time?

His heart jerked up, his steps subconsciously lightened, and he silently rushed behind the figure, his arm muscles tense, ready to strike at any time.

In the mist, the figure quickly became clear, and he ran not far behind the man, and was about to open his mouth to ask, but the figure suddenly turned around, revealing a young face.

Mu Jiu's body froze, and he couldn't help blurting out: "Boss? ”

Yes, this figure is his young boss, Rayong.

But when he slept, he clearly didn't hear any movement, and when he left, the boss should have been sleeping, why was he here?

There is only one way to get here from the small courtyard of the farm!

If the boss got up earlier than himself and came out of the yard all the way without noticing himself...... Thinking of this, Mu Jiu's heart trembled, which shows that the boss's strength must be above himself!

How is this possible? How old is the boss?

Even the head, when he was eighteen years old, did not have this kind of strength!

What's more, his parents are clearly ordinary people!

But this explains the origin of the blue leopard skin.

In an instant, Mu Jiu was at a loss.

Reason told him that it was impossible. But what he saw in front of him made him think like this unconsciously. And, no matter how much he tried to convince himself, he couldn't find a better explanation.

At this time, the young boss seemed to raise his eyebrows, not knowing if he was used to the title of boss, or if he was surprised that Mu Jiu appeared here.

I saw a hint of interest on his young face, looking at Mu Jiudao: "Since we have met, why don't we compete to see who can run faster." ”

Before Mu Jiu could react, he saw the boss running out quickly, and the voice came from the fog: "Hurry up, you lost the run, today's breakfast is halved!" ”

He subconsciously chased after him.

……

In front of the courtyard gate, Mu Jiu stopped panting, walked a few steps quickly, and held on to the door to breathe a sigh of relief.

He looked up at the figure in the transparent glass flower room next to him, and an indescribable expression appeared on his resolute face.

In the flower room, Luo Yong saw Mu Jiu appear, pushed open the ventilation window of the flower room, and said to him: "Breakfast is in the courtyard, go to the leisure room in front of me after eating." ”

When Mu Jiu entered the courtyard, his attention returned to the flower room.

Cui was now on a trellis, closest to his window. In this way, he can reach it in the bedroom as soon as he reaches out.

A plum blossom, a peony, a tea tree, and three spiritual plants are also growing very vigorously. Clusters of aura gathered from afar, and in the spiritual sense, the entire flower room was steaming with a white mist of spiritual energy.

Since he had the tea tree, his cultivation speed has increased a step now, but unfortunately the speed of condensing the light of life has reached the limit of the qi storage period, and he can't improve it if he wants to.

The soil on the ground has sprinkled a lot of herbal seeds, and some have even begun to sprout. I believe that in such a rich aura, they will all grow very well.

The rockery, which was originally in the pond in the front yard, has also been moved to the flower room, and there are a few more orchids in the cracks of the rockery.

This orchid is not from my own family, it should have been bought by the way yesterday when my mother went out to buy herbal seeds.

There was still a little bit of stuff in the flower room, but he already had an idea, and soon there would be another plant here. It's just that the difficulty of this point is a bit high, he figured it out yesterday, and he felt that it was still a little short, and he was going to study it again.

At this time, the little guy in the water tank floated up from the bottom of the tank, and his pointed claws were on the wall of the tank, revealing his round head, and looked at him curiously.

Rayong couldn't help but tease, he walked over, nodded its head and asked, "Little one, can you understand me?" At the same time, the spiritual sense also fluctuated, conveying the same meaning.

The little guy was taken aback, swam around the tank twice, and then seemed to come to his senses, tilting his head and staring straight at Rayong.

He was happy, took out two flat-shell snails from the small bag he carried, shook them in front of his eyes, and asked with a smile: "How is it, do you want to eat it?" ”

The little guy's eyes seemed to light up, staring at the flat-shelled snail, opening his mouth, and the row of thorns on his back were slightly erected.

……

After teasing the little guy for a while and feeding it a few flat-shell snails, Rayong cleaned up and went to the recreation room in the front yard.

Settling down on a couch and using his newfound e-butler to enter the virtual community, he searched for information about the neighborhood again.

Yesterday evening, he took Xiaoluo and Xiaocui out for a trip, killed a fanged hyena more than ten kilometers away, and got two more points of life. Now, there are nine points of life light in the sea of knowledge.

In recent days, the number of farms harassed by wild beasts has increased considerably, but there are not many near his home, and it is impossible for him to go far to hunt.

They were okay here, and the strongest blue-striped leopard went to his house. In some places, there has even been news that entire farms have been wiped out. In recent days, he has heard complaints that the patrol does not care about the lives of farmers.

At this time, over the entire virtual community, the originally low sound of music was suddenly replaced by another sound.

"Due to the inaction of the patrol brigade, many farmers have suffered losses, and the government has decided to severely punish the patrol brigade, and all members who fail to perform their duties will be removed from their posts and severely punished. During the punishment period, due to the serious shortage of personnel in the patrol brigade, the government prepared to send armed forces to vigorously strangle the wild beasts roaming between the farms to ensure the safety of the major farmers. ”

The low and heavy voice echoed over the virtual community, everyone subconsciously raised their heads, and the people who were originally in the store also walked out onto the street.

Rayong is no exception.

He raised his head and looked at the huge screen on the side of the street, which was showing the faces of officials from relevant government departments, and the voice just now came out of his mouth, only amplified by the virtual community so that everyone could hear it.

At this moment, the news had been replayed, followed by a list of members of the patrol team who had been punished.

This is great news for all farmers. Not necessarily for Rayong.
