Pastoral Daily Life

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?"

During the road, Wang Chaoliang had listened to Yan Yue's story, and he reiterated 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. However, it is very vigilant and seldom takes the initiative to deal with people. It is really rare to give you an early warning this time."

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 topic of several people's discussion quickly gathered on the little monkey. Although Yan Yue found it interesting, he had to interrupt them and asked a question that he had been thinking about all the time. "What will 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 that 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, because of the unique environment in the rainforest, the eyesight is limited, except for the little monkeys standing tall, ordinary people can't see very far. Besides, there are border guards and armed police nearby. Patrol, nothing will happen."

The other party said that Yan Yue would not be able to say anything. 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 strong man who had followed them all the way climbed the hanging vines and turned to the tree a few times, holding a small telescope and looking 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 like this, 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, Yan Yue heard the movement and rushed over, looking 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, "If only Da Hei or Fang Lei were here."

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

Fang Lei, who was far away in the urban area of ​​Kunnan, did not know that he was being 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. 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.

Fang Lei strolled back to the place where he lived, carrying the small dried fish. 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 came back, both of his colleagues 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 meowing. A yellow tabby cat jumped to the wall of the alley, looking straight at him with green eyes, giving him a kind of The 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. 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 Gray!" Fang Lei exclaimed in shock.

What he was holding in his hand was Xiao Hui who should be obediently staying in Fengcheng. 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 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.

"How come you are here, Xiao Hui?" Fang Lei asked curiously.

The little ash in front of her looked clean and tidy, not like she arrived in Kunnan after a long journey. Fang Lei really didn't believe that Xiao Hui could run from Fengcheng to Kunnan by himself.

Xiao Hui meowed twice angrily.

Fang Lei couldn't help laughing when he heard it. He found a small dish and poured out the dried fish and placed it in front of Xiao Hui, coaxing: "These dried fish were bought for you, just now When I was outside, I also thought that Xiao Hui likes to eat small dried fish, so I gave some to other cats."

Xiao Hui called out twice.

Fang Lei playfully followed its fur, assuring: "Okay, the small dried fish in the future will be small gray, and will not be eaten by other cats."

Xiao Hui seemed to be satisfied with Fang Lei's guarantee, and squatted in front of the small plate and began to eat small dried fish.

Fang Lei is still curious, how did Xiaohui get here, but unfortunately Xiaohui refused to answer this question, but Fang Lei knew that the tabby cat outside was Xiaohui's younger brother , specially responsible for keeping an eye on his 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 smiled and shook his head, rubbing Xiao Hui's bulging belly.

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 my colleague finished 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 the gang?"

My colleague said: "It's only 80% confirmed, but the telescopes found at the scene are commonly used by their group. You know that their things are bought from abroad, and they are things 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 the tourists go to the Kunnan Nature Reserve? There are still people who go to the wild forest?"

My colleague laughed and said, "Some tourists are too daring and don't want to go to the reserve, so they like to wander outside. Besides, the two tourists this time are not considered to be there by themselves. Rainforest has a field station at the Botanic Gardens, and they go with the staff at the station."

Botanical garden, staff, two tourists, the combination of these words gave Fang Lei a bad premonition. He remembered calling Yan Yue in the morning, and what Yan Yue said was to follow the botanical garden Wouldn't it be so coincidental for a friend to go shopping around?

Fang Lei was beating drums in his heart all the way, and he didn't even bother to respond when he met his colleagues at the police station and went out with a cat while making fun of them. 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 are you here?"

Fang Lei said in a low voice, "Do you remember the incident when someone tried to frame the little Tibetan poison at the beginning of the year?"

Yan Yue nodded.

"It's that 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 arrested, and a few ran away during the previous arrest. Big fish, probably the ones you met." Speaking of which, Fang Lei changed the subject, "Where's Xiaoxi? How did you meet those people? The colleagues on the phone didn't know what they said."

Yan Yue's expression was a little serious, "Xiaoxi and a few friends are resting in there. As for the encounter, it wasn't us, they found it." Something went wrong and directed Xiao Hei to drive the poisonous snake to investigate, and found that someone had left the telescope, and finally called the police when they left the rainforest.

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, the 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 thinks 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's also that you left early, otherwise it would be dangerous. , that's a group of desperadoes. I came after them, 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 left the rainforest with the two staff members in the workstation, and immediately called the police when he returned to the village.

Fang Lei reminded: "They have already targeted 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. , When this operation is over, I will 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.

"Little Gray?" Lu Lingxi blinked, wondering if he had read it wrong.

Xiao Hui jumped gently into Lu Lingxi's arms, her furry claws climbed Lu Lingxi's arm, and meowed affectionately.

When they got close, Lu Lingxi recognized that it was really Xiao Hui, not that he was wrong. He hugged Xiao Hui in surprise, and couldn't believe it, "Is Big Brother Fang here? But it's not right, Big Brother Fang is here on a business trip this time, how can you bring Xiao Hui with you?"

Xiao Hui raised her head proudly, bit Lu Lingxi's sleeve and motioned 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 suddenly said, "Did Xiao Hui hide here and follow?"

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 saw Lu Lingxi standing alone behind Fang Lei's car, not knowing what to see. 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 talk to 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 damaged, and the trunk is not closed tightly, otherwise 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.

Fang Lei: "…"

What a cat.
