Chapter 399: intention

Views:

When Zheng Tan followed Dashan to the distance, Er Mao's mobile phone started beeping to the police. Due to the special device on Zheng Tan's cat card, as long as Zheng Tan leaves a certain distance, there will be an alarm sound on Er Mao's mobile phone.

Therefore, Ermao was very clear about Zheng Tan's going out, but the master said that there was a mountain, and it was all right, and Ermao didn't move.

It was not until the afternoon that Er Mao and Wei Ling felt relieved when they saw that Da Shan and Zheng Tan had both returned. Others don't know it, but the two of them are quite clear in their hearts that this black cat is not a quiet cat, and has a great ability to cause trouble. Before they came back, they had assured the Jiao family that they would not do anything if anything happened. Good explanation.

Therefore, after Zheng Tan returned to the yard, he listened to Er Mao's comments for twenty minutes.

Dashan only goes out once or twice a week, and if it is twice, it is rarely two consecutive days. Therefore, even the old master did not expect that Dashan would continue to take Zheng Tan out the next day, and this time Compared with the previous day, it was much farther, and I went out in the morning.

Zheng Tan followed behind the mountain. Having gained yesterday's experience, Zheng Tan has gotten used to it a little bit now.

Today's road is the same as yesterday's most of the itinerary, but in the later part of the road, Dashan chose to walk from some places that are more difficult for people to walk. Whether it is a narrow and steep rocky road or a dense forest area where it is difficult for humans to walk, it is not too difficult for cats. All Zheng Tan needs to do is to be alert to the possible dangers around him.

Zheng Tan will not pin all his hopes on Dashan. Even Dashan, an experienced mountain predator, may not be able to detect all the potential threats around him. Therefore, Zheng Tan still has to hang his heart. Be wary of your surroundings.

Once Zheng Tan followed the Jiao family to practice in the field, and the time he found the red mouse, Zheng Tan lived in the field for a period of time. After a few years, his nerves seemed to be tense again.

This is wild life, there is no mercy, there is only survival, and the slightest neglect can lead to fatal results.

With his nerves tense, Zheng Tan followed the mountain. He knew that there would be danger here, but he wanted to know what the purpose of Dashan was. If he didn't figure it out, Zheng Tan always felt that something was hanging in his heart.

Although it was already mid-to-late October, if it was in Chuhua City, there must have been a clear sense of autumn, the temperature would drop, and mosquitoes would gradually decrease in the wild, but not here.

The temperature in winter here is higher than that in the central region, and unless it is on some high mountains, it is difficult to see a single snowflake throughout the winter. Probably because of the temperature, when Zheng Tan was walking in the woods, he could hear the sound of a lot of mosquitoes, and sometimes those mosquitoes were dangling in front of him, making people want to slap him to death immediately, but Zheng Tan still endured it. The action of slapping mosquitoes is too large, and it is easy to startle some dangerous species.

It was almost noon, Dashan caught a bird to eat, Zheng Tan only found a few fruits and he was about to do it. Until it was a last resort, Zheng Tan really didn't want to eat raw food in the wild.

Dashan was curious when he saw Zheng Tan eating the fruit, went over to sniff it, then walked away in disgust, and continued to eat its meat.

After eating something, I am not so hungry anymore. Zheng Tan squatted on the branch to rest, thinking, there are no people in this area, and there is no trace of human activities after walking for so long. How far will the mountain go

There was a lesson from the Red Rat's trip back then. It would take a few days or even longer to leave. Zheng Tan didn't want to do it again.

Or, go home later

Just as he was thinking about it, Zheng Tan's ears moved and he suddenly looked in one direction.

If he heard correctly just now, it seems that, over there, someone is talking.

Looking sideways at the mountain on another branch, the mountain is also looking over there at the moment, his face is a little serious, just like usual, but his eyes are a bit chilly, Zheng Tan has seen similar eyes many times, cat When hunting dead prey, they have similar eyes, but compared to those cats who hunt with interest, the eyes in Dashan's eyes are more cold, like a real cold killer produced by nature. , Seeing that Zheng Tan felt a chill in his heart.

Could it be that the purpose of Dashan is the people over there

Looking at Dashan like this, it should be known that someone exists there.

In a place so far from a village and town that is almost completely wild, there are people living there. Before Zheng Tan thought that there would be no human activities in such a place.

Hearing the movement over there, the mountain moved. The movement is very light, but very fast, quietly approaching there.

Zheng Tan followed, identifying what might be happening over there from the voice he heard.

Listening to the voice, there is more than one person over there, seemingly looking for something.

Glancing at the big cat in front, Zheng Tan thought to himself, wouldn't he be looking for this guy again

It doesn't seem right either. Dashan usually lives in the yard. Even if he comes here, he doesn't come here very often. He didn't come here yesterday. These people should be looking for something that has just been lost.

But what are these people doing

The mountain was not too close, but stopped when there was still a certain distance, hiding in a big tree, and the dense branches covered its figure.

Zheng Tan also hid and looked at the people who were getting closer and closer.

Those people spoke in a dialect tone, and Zheng Tan didn't quite understand it, but just by looking at their movements, he knew what they were really looking for. Moreover, Zheng Tan felt the smell of blood on these people.

These people are dangerous and the type to stay away from. This is Zheng Tan's intuition.

There were three people on the other side, they looked like they were in their thirties, they were probably active outside, and their skin was dark. They were talking in low voices, and their eyes swept across the surrounding trees and grass from time to time.

Zheng Tan hid behind the bushes, and as the three got closer, Zheng Tan was also nervous, and his breathing became more cautious.

The good thing is that when they were about ten meters away, they probably felt that there were too many bushes here, making it difficult to walk, and they didn't find any suspicious signs, so they left in a different direction.

When those people walked away, Zheng Tan took a long breath.

The mountain jumped down from the tree, and the branches made a rubbing sound with the movement of the mountain. Fortunately, those people were far away and could not hear it.

After jumping down, Dashan looked at the direction where the three people left, moved his ears, made sure that the three people did not return, and then walked again.

Zheng Tan followed Dashan. He didn't know what this guy was trying to do. What was certain was that it was definitely related to those who were active in the deep forest.

What to do next

There are only two cats, even if there is hatred, what can they do to those people

Even if Zheng Tan became a human, he couldn't fight against any of those three people. Of course, if it is to borrow other means, then it is another matter.

Dashan didn't seem to have any intention of chasing after the three, but went in another direction.

Half an hour later, Zheng Tan saw a simple shed made of cloth and wood. From the sounds coming from inside, he could tell that there were some animals locked in the wooden hut.

Poachers

No, although there is indeed a large wild forest belt here, there are many wild dogs, wolves, wild boars, etc., but there are not many rare animals. This is what Zheng Tan heard from Er Mao.

If you really want to poach, why come here to hunt? Wolf skin

At this time, two people came out of the tent. One of them yawned and walked into a tent next to him with alcohol, while the other walked around, sat down against a tree, and clicked He was smoking a cigarette, and when he heard something, the man suddenly looked over.

swoosh—

The brown-yellow figure flashed through the grass and quickly disappeared.

The man's vigilant eyes just now disappeared. As long as it's not human, they don't care about other animals.

Zheng Tan hid behind the tent and watched the man find the mountain and sat down slowly against the tree again, as if he was not worried at all.

This man is alert.

Dashan's movements just now were actually very slight, but when he was approaching the tent, he probably paused because of the breath of the animals inside, and stepped on a very thin branch.

After the man sat down again, Zheng Tan gently lifted the thick curtain that fell to the ground. He didn't go in directly, Zheng Tan just lifted a little and looked at the situation inside.

There are ventilation openings on the edge of the awning, so that light can enter from outside. Therefore, even though it was relatively dark inside the tent, Zheng Tan was still able to use the little bright light to see the situation inside the tent clearly.

There are five cages here, two cages contain monkeys, and three cages contain red pandas, not small pandas, but the kind of animals with many reddish-brown bodies, also known as red pandas.

Whether it's the two monkeys or the three red pandas, they don't seem to be in good condition, they don't have much energy, and they don't move much in the cage.

Zheng Tan once again doubted whether these people were really poachers. Keeping them alive without paying too much attention to their health is a poacher

As he watched, Zheng Tan suddenly froze in his heart, quickly put down the curtain, and quickly left the place.

After Zheng Tan left, the man who had been sitting against the tree appeared beside the tent.

"What's wrong?" the man who entered the tent earlier asked.

"It's nothing, there are other animals approaching." The person next to the tent said.

"Oh, it doesn't matter as long as it's not a human being." The tension on the man's face instantly dissipated, he yawned, and walked into the tent again, "I'll sleep for a while and wake up to pick up your shift."

Zheng Tan, who was hiding behind a tree not far away, looked at the two over there. Compared with the three people they met before, Zheng Tan could still hear a few words in what the two said, and guessed the meaning of the words.

Zheng Tan didn't go over to inquire. Dashan seemed to know that he couldn't get close to it, so he planned to go back. However, Zheng Tan felt that this guy was actually a little unwilling.

There is no way to be reconciled, those people, Zheng Tan doesn't want to mess with them.

When walking back, Zheng Tan also thought about the two people just now, as well as the monkeys and red pandas who were locked in the cage in the cloth tent. He only paid attention to whether there was any danger around him but not his feet, and suddenly felt that he had stepped on something. , Zheng sighed and looked down.

There was something sticky where Zheng Tan stepped on his feet. I don't know what it was. Dashan was very afraid of this, and looked around nervously, as if there were some dangerous objects.
