The captain couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Liu Si appear on the patrol route. Liu Si rarely participates in this kind of patrol mission, and he always finds various reasons to shirk it. But today, Liu Si was obviously a little nervous and uncomfortable, his eyes wandered, and his expression was weird.

The captain looked Liu Si up and down, secretly guessing in his heart why he came here today. Maybe he sneaked out to find a girlfriend? No, Liu Si has always been shy and introverted, and it is unlikely that he will take the initiative. Could it be that you are in trouble and want to hide secretly? But Liu Si is well-behaved and honest on weekdays, and rarely causes trouble.

Just when the captain was full of suspicion, there was a slight rustling sound in front of him, and the captain raised his head keenly, only to see that there seemed to be something hidden behind the bushes not far away. He warily raised his bow and arrows and signaled his team to get ready. Liu Si's face instantly turned pale, and he even trembled a little.

The captain glanced at him and said in his heart, "Won't it?" Liu Si shouldn't really get into any trouble, right?" He speculated that Liu Si might have done something out of the ordinary, and the current movement over there was probably something related to him.

Just as the captain was about to ask Liu Si out loud, a civet cat suddenly sprang out of the bushes! It turned out to be a psychic kitten with a small lock around its neck, which looked small.

A hint of surprise and relief flashed on Liu Si's face, and the captain suddenly realized that it was the kitten that slipped out, and Liu Si was worried that it would get lost, so he sneaked out to find it, and he was afraid of being found and punished.

The captain looked at Liu Si's nervous appearance, and couldn't bear to embarrass him, but said seriously: "Since you have found it, take it back quickly." Not an example! Don't run around alone. ”

Liu Si nodded again and again, carefully picked up the kitten, apologized to the captain, and hurriedly ran back to the village.

The captain shook his head, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a smile. This Liu Si is still the same, sometimes clumsy, but very polite and sincere. Seeing that he was so nervous this time, the captain thought it would be something big, but it turned out to be for a kitten. However, this child is always very loving to small animals, which is admirable.

Looking at the back of Liu Si leaving, the captain still felt a little regretful in his heart: it would be good if Liu Si could be brave and take the initiative to participate in collective activities. He is an introvert who is often locked up in his own world, and the captain is often worried about him fitting in. But after thinking about it, Liu Si is usually helpful and kind to everyone, as long as he is encouraged, I believe that he will gradually come out of his shell and become an excellent wizard.

At that moment, the captain led the patrol to continue to check the forest area for abnormalities.

Liu Si looked at the little civet cat that suddenly came out, and his heart was mixed.

At first, he was afraid that the captain would ask him directly why he came here alone. To explain the kitten, he will inevitably be blamed or punished. This made him nervous early, for fear that the captain would ask him as soon as he opened his mouth, and he had figured out how to answer tactfully.

Who knew that such a cat would be killed halfway! Liu Si was nervous, but he was taken aback and almost screamed. He didn't expect it to come to such a place, and it almost showed its filling.

Just when Liu Si was at a loss, the captain had already turned all his attention to the cat. Liu Si breathed a big sigh of relief, but he was also a little annoyed. I wanted to explain it to the captain, but this opportunity was interrupted!

Now the captain only thought he was running out for the cat, and didn't care about his strange behavior at all. Liu Si looked down at the coquettish kitten rubbing on his legs, and really wanted to slap it - you stinky cat, I almost didn't achieve my goal!

If it hadn't suddenly run out, Liu Si would have already faced the captain's questioning.

When the captain was about to leave, Liu Si suddenly shouted to him: "Captain, wait a minute!"

The captain looked back at Liu Si: "What's wrong, is there something wrong?"

Liu Si hesitated for a moment and said, "I seem to have seen someone running into the bushes over there just now, looking a little suspicious, I don't know if it's a poacher of cranes."

When the captain heard this, he immediately came to his senses, and walked back to Liu Si's side quickly: "Are you sure you saw it?" What does it look like? In which direction?"

The other team members also asked:

"Did you really see the poachers?"

"Tell me, where are you going?"

"Do you see the look? Is it a local or a foreigner?"

Liu Si pursed his lips, trying his best to make his tone sound more believable: "I saw a figure running towards the woods over there, as if wearing a black cloak, and I couldn't see my face clearly. But the movements are very agile, like running away, I think it's a little suspicious, do you think you should go and investigate?"

The captain pondered for a moment and patted Liu Si on the shoulder: "You found it well!" We have to find out right away, and if it's really poachers, we can't let it go. Everyone, bring your gear and come with me!"

After speaking, the captain strode towards the direction indicated by Liu Si, and the other team members quickly followed. Liu Si secretly breathed a sigh of relief, watched their backs fade away, and then followed.

The captain led the team members to carefully walk through the woods, carefully looking for the traces of the suspicious figure Liu Si said. Everyone is vigilant and always aware of the movements around them, for fear of missing any clues.

The captain was armed with a longbow and walked lightly to explore the path ahead, while the other team members followed him, their expressions serious, their bows and arrows ready. They pricked up their ears, paying attention to every sound of wind and grass, and their eyes were fixed on the ground, looking for footprints or marks.

Just as the team was about to walk out of the woods, one of the team members suddenly let out an exclamation: "Captain, come and see!"

I saw him holding a yellowed bone in his hand, and his expression was both shocked and frightened. The captain ran over in three steps and two steps, carefully examined the bone, and couldn't help but gasp - it was clearly a crane wing bone!

"It's... Is this the crane's bone? Could it be that there are really people poaching cranes here? This is Senior Brother Liu's residence, and no one else lives. The team member asked nervously.

The captain said in a deep voice, "Most likely. We must immediately search to find out who did the good deeds! That person definitely didn't go far, he must have been to blame. ”

After saying that, he ordered the team to search the surrounding area separately to see if there were any other clues. The team immediately dispersed and cautiously searched the woods.

The scene was tense for a while, everyone knew that cranes were rare species, and their bones appeared here, indicating that there were very likely crane hunters. They must find out the truth as soon as possible, or the consequences will be unimaginable.
