Pastoral Daily Life - Chapter 152

[Chapter 152]

Out of caution, Lu Lingxi and the others quickly returned to the workstation.

The staff inside was a little surprised, “Why did you come back so soon?”

Wang Chaoliang had already heard Yan Yue’s story on the road, and he recounted it succinctly. He had seen Da Hei and Xiao Hei being smart, and he was convinced of the little monkey that Yan Yue mentioned was smart enough to give them an early warning. He was worried that the other two staff members would not believe it, but when he finished speaking, one of the staff members thought about it and smiled: “I know which little monkey you are talking about, a very smart little guy, Occasionally, it will come to the workstation. But it is very vigilant and rarely interacts with people actively. It is really rare to give you an early warning this time.”

There are many monkey groups living in the rainforest here in Kunnan. These monkey groups Far from the gathering place of human beings, it rarely appears in front of human beings. The staff at the workstation also occasionally saw them when they went out. The little monkey in Yan Yue’s mouth was the liveliest and most daring one. Last time, they used a flower gesture to exchange the bread in their hands, but it was only after observing them for a long time and making sure that there was no danger. Such a situation as Yan Yue mentioned really rarely happens.

The topics discussed by the few people quickly gathered on the little monkey. Although Yan Yue found it interesting, he had to interrupt them and ask a question that he had been thinking about all the way. “What did the little monkey warning see?”

About this, the staff present did not know. But according to their understanding of the little monkey, there must be some danger ahead. Either humans or large dangerous animals. One of the staff tends to be human. Because this rainforest is bordered by other countries, there are many stowaways and outlaws who smuggle and traffic drugs. Fortunately, the rainforest is too dangerous, and the armed police of the border defense are strict, so nothing has happened in this area. However, some time ago, the anti-drug police in Kunnan destroyed a large overseas drug smuggling group and ran away several of its main leaders. I am afraid they will flee to this area.

It’s okay if he didn’t say anything. He didn’t say anything about Yan Yue. Even Lu Lingxi realized the seriousness of the problem.

The staff member explained with a smile: “Don’t worry, due to the unique environment in the rainforest, the eyesight is limited, except for the little monkeys who are standing tall and ordinary people can’t see very far. Besides, there are border guards patrolling regularly nearby, and there will be nothing wrong. .” The

other party said that, Yan Yue couldn’t say anything else. It’s just that for the rest of the time, he and Lu Lingxi were very conscious and controlled their range of activities within a few hundred meters near the workstation, and didn’t dare to go too far.

Not far behind them, the tall and sturdy man who had followed them all the way before climbed the hanging vine and flipped to the tree a few times. He took a small telescope and looked in the direction of Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue. He recognized the workstation in the botanical garden, guessing that Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue were new employees here. It seems that the two of them probably didn’t see anything, otherwise they wouldn’t stay here. As a result, the tall and strong man was a little hesitant, whether to listen to the boss and take advantage of them alone.

After hesitating so much, Yan Yue was keenly aware of something, and looked thoughtfully in the direction of the man. Although he couldn’t see anything, Yan Yue felt that something was wrong. He took Xiao Hei out of his wrist and said something in a low voice. He heard Xiao Hei hiss and agreed, and then he got into the grass. After a while, several brightly colored poisonous snakes swam out of the grass and were driven by Xiao Hei to swim in the direction of the man.

The man didn’t react at first, but soon realized that something was wrong. A small green snake suddenly sprang from under him and bit him, the man reacted very quickly and jumped off the tree, dodging the snake’s attack. He was rejoicing in his heart, and suddenly felt a tingling in his ankle. As soon as he lowered his head, another small green snake hung on his shoe, opening his mouth and biting him hard. This snake man knows, is a common venomous snake in the rainforest. He hurriedly took out the antidote he had prepared from his bag, applied it to the wound, and left here in a hurry. The man was walking so fast that he didn’t even notice that his binoculars had been dropped on the ground.

As soon as he left here, Yan Yue rushed over when he heard the movement, and his face was a little ugly when he saw the telescope on the ground.

Lu Lingxi also saw the telescope and asked nervously, “Is there any danger?”

Yan Yue frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, “I’m afraid it is.” At this time, he couldn’t help but start to miss Da Hei. In terms of vigilance and chasing people, Da Hei would have to throw Xiao Hei a hundred streets away. Yan Yue sighed and said, “If only Da Hei or Fang Lei were there.”

Lu Lingxi thought about this idea seriously, and privately thought that Da Hei was more reliable than Fang Lei.

Fang Lei, who was far away in the urban area of Kunnan, didn’t know that he was missed by Yan Yue, and sneezed several times in a series. “Strange, could it be that Xiao Hui misses me?” Fang Lei muttered in his heart. This time, it was inconvenient for him to bring Xiao Hui out with him on a business trip, so he entrusted Xiao Hui to a colleague like last time. In order to avoid Uncle Little Gray Cat making a fuss, he also specifically explained to his colleagues that he should never feed Xiao Hui to eat canned cat food.

Thinking about it this way, Fang Lei felt that he really missed Xiao Hui a little bit. I don’t know if Xiao Hui has been obedient these days when he is away, whether he has eaten well or not, and whether his colleagues have bought Xiao Hui dried fish. He looked up and saw that there was a food stall on the roadside selling crispy dried fish, a specialty of Kunnan. Fang Lei’s heart moved, and he greeted the boss and weighed half a catty, and it was his supper at night.

Carrying the weighed dried fish, Fang Lei strolled back to his place of residence. Because it was expected to stay in Kunnan for a long time this time, Fang Lei and the two colleagues who came with him did not stay in a hotel in order to save money. Instead, they lived in an old house in Kunnan where a colleague rarely lived.

When he returned, the two colleagues with him were not at home. Fang Lei was about to open the door when he suddenly stopped, and the feeling of being stared at in the morning reappeared. He turned his head abruptly, glanced around alertly, and there was nothing suspicious around him. Fang Lei’s face sank, his intuition from working for many years made him believe that it was not an illusion just now, that something was really staring at him, could it be related to this case, and the few people who ran away came back to tip off?

When Fang Lei was suspicious, he suddenly heard a cat meow, and a yellow tabby cat jumped to the wall of the alley. Green eyes stared straight at him, giving him a feeling of being stared at. He couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. It turned out to be a cat, and he was a little too nervous. Fang Lei put his mind at ease and thought about pouring out the small dried fish in his hand and placing it in the corner against the wall, signaling the tabby cat to come and eat the dried fish.

The tabby cat didn’t move at first, and Fang Lei didn’t care either. Cats are always wary of people, and when he is gone, tabby cats will dare to come and eat. He thought about opening the door, but before he could enter the room, a gray figure swooped over and scratched his face unceremoniously. It was almost a conditioned reflex, Fang Lei took a step back very quickly, taking advantage of the small thing in front of him coming slowly, grabbed it.

“Little Hui!” Fang Lei exclaimed in shock.

It was Xiao Hui who was supposed to stay in Fengcheng obediently. Xiao Hui waved his claws angrily, and the hair on his body exploded angrily. It’s a pity that Fang Lei has accumulated the fighting experience he ordered in the process of getting along with it, and the position of carrying Xiao Hui is just kept at a distance that Xiao Hui can’t scratch his face.

“Why are you here, Xiao Hui? How did you come here?” Fang Lei asked curiously.

The little Hui in front of him looked clean, not at all like the one who had traveled a long way to Kunnan. Fang Lei really didn’t believe that Xiao Hui could run from Fengcheng to Kunnan by himself.

Xiao Hui meowed twice angrily.

Fang Lei didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he heard it. He found a small plate and poured out the dried fish and placed it in front of Xiao Hui, coaxing: “These dried fish were bought for you, and I thought that Xiao Hui likes to eat them just now when I was outside. Dried Xiaoyu, I just gave a little to the other cats.”

Xiaohui barked again.

Fang Lei followed its fur in a playful manner, promising, “Okay, the dried fish in the future will be from Xiao Hui, and will not be eaten by other cats.”

Xiao Hui seemed to be satisfied with Fang Lei’s guarantee, and squatted on the small plate. Start eating small dried fish in front of you.

Fang Lei was still curious as to how Xiao Hui got here. Unfortunately, Xiao Hui refused to answer this question, but Fang Lei knew that the tabby cat outside was Xiao Hui’s younger brother, and was responsible for keeping an eye on him when he went out. whereabouts. There are several other little brothers like this, scattered in different places in the alley. If he hadn’t given the tabby cat to eat dried fish to make Xiao Hui too angry, Xiao Hui would not have jumped out to settle the bill with him.

Fang Lei shook his head with a smile, rubbing Xiao Hui’s bulging belly, Xiao Hui’s comfortable belly turned upside down, meowing a few times from time to time.

The atmosphere of one person and one cat was just right, and the phone in Fang Lei’s pocket rang. As soon as he answered the phone, his colleague said in a hurry: “The frontier armed police have just discovered the whereabouts of the few drug traffickers who slipped through the net in the border rainforest. The local police have already sent people, and we have to follow them quickly.”

Before the colleague could finish speaking, Fang Lei grabbed the car keys and went out. As soon as he walked here, Xiao Hui followed him and jumped into the car. Fang Lei didn’t care about what to say to Xiao Hui at this time, he tilted his head while driving and said with his phone between his hands, “I’ll meet you at the police station right away, tell me what’s going on first? How did you find the trace? Are you sure it’s that group?” The

colleague said: “It’s only 80% confirmed, but the telescope found at the scene is commonly used by their group. You know that their items are all bought from abroad and retired by the army. , there is no such thing in China, so there is a high possibility that it was them. As for how they found it, I heard that it was discovered by two tourists in the rainforest, and they also called the police and contacted the armed border police.”

“There are still tourists in the rainforest?” Fang Lei was surprised: “Don’t all tourists go to the Kunnan Nature Reserve? Is there such a thing as going to the wild forest?” The

colleague laughed when he heard this, “Some tourists are too daring and don’t want to go to the reserve, they just like it. Wandering outside. Besides, the two tourists this time are not alone. There is a field station in the Botanical Garden in that rainforest, and they went with the staff of the station.”

Botanical Garden, staff, two tourists, this The combination of several words gave Fang Lei a bad premonition. He remembered calling Yan Yue in the morning, and what Yan Yue said was to go around with a friend in the botanical garden, wouldn’t it be such a coincidence?

Fang Lei was beating his heart all the way, and he didn’t even bother to respond when he met his colleagues at the police station and was teased by them and went out with a cat. He turned his head and glanced at the mighty and domineering Uncle Cat, who was squatting on the co-pilot. He smiled bitterly in his heart. It would be more convenient if it was really Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi, and he just entrusted Xiao Hui to them.

Several people galloped all the way, and soon reached the small village on the border. The nearby border police are stationed here, and the local police station is also located in this small village. As soon as he got out of the car, Fang Lei saw Yan Yue. Colleagues who came with him asked about the specific situation and asked Fang Lei to wait in the car first. Taking advantage of the fact that everything would be fine, Fang Lei quickly ran to Yan Yue and looked up and down: “Are you alright?”

Yan Yue was taken aback, “Fang Lei, why did you come here?”

Fang Lei whispered, “Do you still remember ? At the beginning of the year, someone tried to frame the little Tibetan poison?”

Yan Yue nodded.

“That’s the case. The more I investigated it, the more I dug up a drug trafficking group outside the country. Now a lot of drug dealers have been caught, and a few big fish ran away during the previous arrest. It is estimated that you encountered The few of them.” Speaking of which, Fang Lei’s topic changed, “Where’s Xiaoxi? How did you meet that group of people? The colleagues on the phone didn’t know what they said.”

Yan Yue’s expression was a little serious, “Xiaoxi and a few others. Friends are resting inside. As for the encounter, it wasn’t us who came across it, they found it.” He started with the little monkey’s warning, and he said that something was wrong, and he ordered Xiao Hei to drive the poisonous snake to investigate, and found that someone had left the telescope. Eventually they left the rainforest and called the police.

Fang Lei was stunned, and immediately lowered his voice, “You didn’t tell the police like this, did you?”

Yan Yue chuckled, “Don’t worry, I’m not that stupid yet.”

But apart from Xiao Hei, other Yan Yue didn’t hide it. Honestly speaking about the little monkey’s warning, he suspected that he and Xiaoxi were targeted from there.

Fang Lei also thought so, “That group of people was probably nearby at the time. If it wasn’t for the little monkey’s warning, you would have met together. It is also because you left early, otherwise it would be dangerous, that is, a group of desperadoes. I followed them later, probably thinking that you found them, and wanted to see the situation and take advantage of your orders, so as not to reveal their whereabouts.”

Yan Yue nodded, he was worried about this, so after seeing the telescope, he immediately left the rainforest with the two staff members in the workstation, and returned to the village and immediately called the police.

Fang Lei reminded: “They have already set their sights on you and Xiaoxi. You and Xiaoxi will stay in the village for now and don’t go back to Kunnan. If there are their accomplices over there, it will be troublesome. After this operation is over, I will I’ll go back with you.”

Yan Yue hummed and agreed. While the two were talking, Xiao Hui had already jumped out of the car window with an arrow, and followed the smell to find Lu Lingxi.

“Xiao Hui?” Lu Lingxi blinked, wondering if he had read it wrong.

Xiao Hui jumped into Lu Lingxi’s arms lightly, her furry claws clinging to Lu Lingxi’s arm and meowing affectionately.

As they got closer, Lu Lingxi recognized that it was really Xiao Hui, not that he was wrong. He hugged Xiao Hui in surprise, and he couldn’t believe it, “Is Big Brother Fang here? But it’s not right, Big Brother Fang is here for work this time, how can you bring Xiao Hui with you?”

Xiao Hui was proud With his head held high, he bit Lu Lingxi’s sleeve and motioned for him to go out with him. Lu Lingxi and Wang Chaoliang said a word, hugged Xiao Hui and walked out the door, followed Xiao Hui all the way to Fang Lei’s car. Fang Lei and the others didn’t come to Kunnan this time because Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue came by plane, but a few colleagues took turns driving all the way from Fengcheng to Kunnan. Xiao Hui nimbly jumped from Lu Lingxi’s arms to the trunk, patted his paws lightly, and squatted there still.

Lu Lingxi was stunned, “Did Xiao Hui hide here and follow him?”

Xiao Hui licked his paws and meowed, which was an admission.

Lu Lingxi didn’t know what to say.

“Xiao Xi.”

After Yan Yue and Fang Lei finished talking, they looked at Lu Lingxi standing alone behind Fang Lei’s car and didn’t know what to look at. The two walked over and were surprised to see Xiao Huiyan Yue. Compared to Yan Yue’s surprise, Fang Lei was on a business trip with Xiao Hui, but Fang Lei guessed something when Xiao Hui was squatting on the trunk, and said in a strange tone, “Xiao Hui, have you been in the car all the way?”

Xiao Hui jumped into Lu Lingxi’s arms and refused to answer Fang Lei. Fang Lei laughed, stretched out his hand to carry Xiao Hui out, and patted its head, “You are lucky that this car is badly broken, and the trunk is not closed tightly, or else you will have to hold back.”

Meow. Xiao Hui angrily scratched Fang Lei’s paw.

Fang Lei had no choice but to stuff Xiao Hui back into Lu Lingxi’s arms, but Xiao Hui got even more angry.

Meow meow.

Fang Lei: “…”

What a cat man.
