Lost in the Forest Chapter 60, Sleeping
The sun had sunset, the sky was getting darker, and orange street lamps adorned the city.
The noise and hustle and bustle gradually subsided as the night fell, and there were fewer and fewer cars on the road due to the city's curfew.
"He Ping, we won't be taken away by them, I heard that if you don't leave the street in time, you will be stopped from questioning." Quietly leaned forward, constantly observing the surroundings, for fear of encountering the army.
He Ping seemed very calm, maybe no one knew if this order was his own proposal, in order to prevent the mutant beasts from appearing at night, and the army could not kill them in time, and they were even more afraid of hurting the innocent people.
"Do you know who proposed this curfew?" He Ping turned his head slightly sideways and smiled quietly, then looked at the road ahead. Even if there aren't any vehicles on the road right now, it's good to be careful.
Seeing He Ping's indifference, Jing Jing didn't take the curfew as a thing at all, and looked like he was eager for the mutant beast to appear, and asked uncertainly with an answer in his heart, "Could it be that you proposed this curfew?" ”
He Ping smiled and nodded silently, he didn't know if this curfew was good or bad for Jing Jing. If it's good, he can still go down, and if Jingjing doesn't feel good, he has to explain it according to Jingjing's reaction.
"Alas!" Quietly sighed.
He Ping didn't react on his face, but he was a little nervous in his heart.
"Although the curfew is a bit overbearing, it keeps everyone safe." Jing Jing was a little dissatisfied with the curfew, but he also admitted that the extraordinary policy in this extraordinary period was indeed good.
Hearing Jing Jing's words, He Ping's anxious heart gradually relaxed.
"But!" Excitement appeared on Jingjing's face again.
He Ping's heart tightened again.
"When is this curfew, a city that used to be active is now dead." Quietly remembering the bustling scene in the city in the past, you could shop, you could go shopping and eat supper, but now you can only stay at home, as if you are imprisoned, and I feel a little aggrieved.
He Ping swallowed his throat, he also understood that if the mutant beast was not removed, the curfew could not be lifted easily. It's better for people to stay at home than to wreak havoc on cities and humans by mutant beasts.
It's just that he doesn't know if this reason can convince Jing Jing, and the words in his heart stop talking.
"But, seriously, the curfew you proposed is indeed quite right, the mutant beast that suddenly appeared before bit a lot of people, and I heard that some people died when they were taken to the hospital." Jing Jing felt sorry for the dead people, and looked at the peace lonely and said.
Hearing the words of praise, the tight strings in He Ping's heart slowly loosened again.
"I know that the curfew will cause too much inconvenience to people in the city, but there is no way to do it, so I am so anxious to investigate what is going on." He Ping explained.
"Why did you investigate Meow-sama alone?" Asked quietly.
He Ping shook his head helplessly and said, "Because I only have one clue about Lord Meow, and it's uncertain whether this is a valid clue." Either way, I'm going to investigate. ”
Jing Jing understood what He Ping meant, and she also understood He Ping's mood, just like a person who has no medicine to cure, he inadvertently gets a prescription, and whether he can cure the disease or not, he must take medicine according to the prescription. The confusion in his heart and the incomprehension of others, I am afraid that He Ping knows best in his own heart, and the pain can only be borne by himself.
"You're going to get to the root of the problem, and I'm sure of you!" A smile appeared on Jingjing's face, encouraging He Ping.
"Thank you, with your words, I feel much more at ease." He Ping's heart was originally dark, but when he heard the quiet encouragement, he seemed to see a glimmer of light.
There were four military vehicles coming from the opposite side, "The vehicle in front of you pulls over!" "The sound of the horn is very penetrating, echoing in the night.
There was only He Ping's car on the road, and He Ping knew that he was talking about himself, so he parked the car to the side.
"You wait in the car, I'll go tell them." He Ping opened the car door, jumped out of the car and walked to the military vehicle that stopped on the opposite side.
Jing Jing was a little worried in her heart, although He Ping's identity was special, she was still worried in her heart.
He Ping walked to the military vehicle, and the soldiers on the military vehicle had already jumped down, and walked quickly towards He Ping with anger on their faces.
"It's dangerous to come out so late, don't you know the curfew?" A soldier captain pointed at He Ping and scolded.
He Ping didn't care about the other party's words, he understood. The temper of the soldiers, naturally, will not have any resentment against them. Put your hand in your pocket and take out your documents, if you don't take them out, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to explain clearly.
"Don't move, put your head in your hands!" The captain of the soldiers immediately pulled out his rifle and pointed at He Ping and ordered.
The three soldiers who the captain of the soldiers stretched out his hand to follow suddenly became nervous, and instantly pulled out their guns and quickly stepped forward to surround He Ping.
Seeing this situation quietly, her heart jumped to her throat, she heard the warning of the captain of the soldiers, but she was afraid that they would hurt He Ping, so she immediately jumped out of the car and shouted, "Don't shoot, he is..."
He Ping raised his hand to stop Jing Jing's words, Jing Jing swallowed the rest of the words back, and stood in place and looked at He Ping in panic.
"You are very attentive and worthy of praise!" He Ping lowered his hand that was reaching for his pocket, nodded to the captain of the soldiers, and said.
When the soldier captain heard He Ping's words, he was slightly stunned, what is it?
He Ping made a series of sign language codes, and the captain of the soldiers immediately put away his gun and stood up and saluted.
Jingjing saw that the captain of the soldiers did not threaten He Ping anymore, and her heart finally relaxed, and it was quite safe to follow He Ping, but her heart was tense and loosened all of a sudden, making her feel like riding a roller coaster.
"Keep patrolling!" He Ping patted the soldier captain's shoulder, turned around and walked towards Jingjing.
The captain of the soldier looked a little excited, and it was also a high honor to be recognized by the guards of a supreme commander.
Although He Ping is only the identity of the chief of the guard, his influence and status are beyond the reach of even army commanders and division commanders.
"Let's go, let's go home." He Ping walked to Jingjing's side and hugged Jingjing's shoulders to let her relax. Open the door, help you to get into the car quietly, and close the door when you have quietly fastened your seatbelt.
Rounding the front of the car, getting into the car, starting the car, the soldiers saluted and faded away through the orange night.
On the grassland, the dwarf jungle is particularly lush after the baptism of rain, and some new shoots are emerging from the tops of the dark blue branches.
"Tucci, why hasn't Meow-sama woken up yet?" Shi Xiaobao saw that Tucci had caught an antelope and came back, so he hurriedly got up from the ground and ran forward to ask.
Tucci threw the antelope on the ground, looked around vigilantly, raised his head and squinted at Shi Xiaobao, and said, "Don't worry, it slept for a week last time, and this time it's not time yet, wait slowly, wait slowly"
Meow-sama has been sleeping for four days, the scars on his body have basically healed, and his breathing is very steady, but he can't wake up no matter how he screams.
For several days, the parrot was responsible for patrolling a radius of several miles, and if a large beast appeared, the parrot would pass on the model to Tucci as soon as possible. On the grasslands, except for mutated animals, Tucci can drive them away or kill them.
Tucci is responsible for driving away the beasts, and also catches prey, some for his own use, and some for Shi Xiaobao to roast and eat.
The fruit in the back basket had already been eaten, and Shi Xiaobao could only eat roasted meat to satisfy his hunger.
Shi Xiaobao saw that Lord Meow had not woken up, and with the assistance of Tucci, he dragged Lord Meow to the edge of the jungle and built a simple grass hut to shelter from the wind.
Shi Xiaobao was like a prairie woman, poking the stick the ground, and the stick stood upright.
Kneeling beside Meow-sama, she opened her lips with her hands, revealing her sharp teeth.
Shi Xiaobao looked at Lord Meow in front of her and had a strange and familiar feeling, what was familiar was that she saw all the changes in Lord Meow and clearly understood Lord Meow's habits. What is strange is how a mischievous cat has become bigger than a lion before, and the cat is still a cat, but it is not the same as before.
"Wren, you're fine, are you?" Shi Xiaobao stroked Lord Meow's head and whispered to himself.
"Xiaobao, you should have barbecue!" Tucci tore off an antelope leg and brought it to the fire.
"Oh!" Shi Xiaobao glanced back at Lord Meow and walked to the fire.
Tucci greedily ate the antelope meat, crunched on the bones, and swallowed even the fur.
Perhaps because of the mutated animals, Tucci's brutality is more prominent, but its gradual transformation process Shi Xiaobao did not discover.
If Tucci were to be put in the city, no one would be able to tame this mutated beast.
Shi Xiaobao put the antelope leg on the branch, piled some dry wood on the fire, and skillfully turned the branch, the meat in the flame was oily, and the tempting fragrance was emitted.
Shi Xiaobao roasted the meat to a browned brown, took it to his mouth and sniffed it, with a satisfied smile on his face.
After roasting the meat these days, Shi Xiaobao is already very proficient, how much is cooked, how long will it take to roast, and his heart is clear.
The flickering light of the fire was reflected on the face.
Although the face is still beautiful, the immaturity has long since retreated.
The meat was cooked, and Shi Xiaobao sat cross-legged.
Carefully bite the fragrant barbecue, and be careful not to get the grease stains on your face.
When you chew it, do you look back at the meow behind you, if it wakes up? Can't sleep and wake up the next moment?
Shi Xiaobao has always held such expectations, just like when he was a meow for the first time.
At that time, Lord Meow's life was dying, and perhaps it was the prayers and calls in his heart that woke him up.
Shi Xiaobao also had the same expectation at this time.
Tucci kept wandering around, and it was 100% sure that no beast was approaching. If anything, it is a mortal danger to Shi Xiaobao and the sleeping Meow.
White clouds float in clusters on the blue sky, and the endless grasslands occasionally hear the cries of animals.
The sun crept closer to the horizon, and it wasn't long before it was a golden evening with a morning glow.
Shi Xiaobao sat next to Lord Meow and looked up at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking. Suddenly stunned to come back to his senses, he looked at Lord Meow, who was still asleep.
"It's getting late, I'm going to pick up some dry firewood." Shi Xiaobao said to Master Meow, not knowing if he could hear it.
