Chapter 186
Xiaohua brought a gift to Jing Ling. Because he could understand animals' language, Jing Ling would not easily do things on his own. Xiao Hua seemed to know this as well, but he could not do anything else except hunting. In the end, it was Xiao Hui who helped him and dug a wild ginseng for Jing Ling.
It is impolite not to reciprocate.
Jing Ling was thinking about sending them some food, but he didn't expect the mission to come at this time.
This warmth came at a very timely moment. Of course, this is only for him. It is not an exaggeration to say that Changchuling is his back garden. The lush trees and vines serve as a protective umbrella for him to move freely. The animals all over the mountain are his eyes and ears, and he can easily grasp the enemy's every move, not to mention Xiaohui, a creature that is truly at the top of the food chain. Ordinary guns are just a tickle to it.
If it were anyone else, they would not have such a good mentality. Not to mention whether they could catch the target, their own safety could not be guaranteed when they met on a narrow road. After all, they were a group of extremely vicious people. It was not certain who would give warmth to whom in the end.
"Brother Xu, can I apply for meal allowance?" Jing Ling said this in a casual tone.
Xu Shaohuai on the other end of the phone probably didn't think too much about it for the time being, and said directly, "A few meals are nothing. I can personally cover your food for a month. Of course, the premise is that you can complete the task." He paused and continued, "Jing Ling, I have high expectations of you. In addition, we are in Changchuling. You won't let me down, right?"
Although it is not difficult in theory, no one can guarantee it until the end. "I'll try my best." Jing Ling replied, "In addition, the meal allowance is for my friends. After all, they have to work hard. My friends have big appetites, so you don't have to pay for a month, three meals will be enough. Let's go to the Qincheng garrison, and I'll give you the bank card when the time comes."
When Jing Ling said this, Xu Shaohuai finally realized what he was talking about the meal allowance, and he was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He had specially watched the video of the Qincheng garrison troops. Only Jing Ling could call that giant python "Xiao Hui" which was completely beyond the limit of cognition. With such a huge body, its appetite could not be described by just the word "huge".
Moreover, Jing Ling seemed to be on his side, but in fact, his heart had long been on the side of the two natives in Chuling. You have to know that snakes don't eat like humans. They can't miss three meals a day. They can eat a lot of food at a time and digest it slowly. If it is only for a month, it is actually a matter of one meal, but Jing Ling changed it to three meals...
But Xu Shaohuai was not angry. Just three meals, an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but nothing for him, and this is also a legitimate official expense. If you calculate carefully, it is still a profit. After all, the soldiers do not have to risk their lives, and the probability of success is greatly increased.
"Okay, no problem." He agreed readily.
That night, in the vicinity of Changchu Mountain, all areas where the target might appear were basically evacuated, and then special personnel were left behind to keep guard, forming a line of defense just in case.
On the set of "Stockholm Lovers", Jing Ling went back to her room to rest first, saying she was tired. Everyone has seen his attitude during filming recently. He has been fully focused from beginning to end. Now that the filming has been temporarily stopped due to an accident, he finally has a chance to take a break, and no one thinks much about it.
The crew stayed in a rented homestay, a self-built building with an average of three or four floors. Jing Ling's room was the last one on the right hand side of the second floor. There were no anti-theft bars on the windows. After he entered the room, he locked the door, disguised his face, and then opened the window and jumped out. There was a patch of grass behind the house. When I landed, the grass made a slight sound and I turned a corner and disappeared into the darkness.
The higher-ups transferred a few people from Raoshancheng Public Security Bureau to help him, and the SUV was parked in another direction, which had many connections around it, helping to cover up his whereabouts. The engine was turned off and the windows were closed. Unless you looked closely, you wouldn't be able to tell there was someone inside.
Jing Ling walked over and knocked on the rear window on the driver's side three times, with one second between each knock. After the last knock, the car window rolled down and a faint voice sounded, "Code name?"
"J."
The people at Raoshan City Public Security Bureau didn't know his identity, and it was impossible for them to tell them, because although this level was authoritative for ordinary people, it was not high enough for this level of confidentiality. In order to prevent the tragedy of that year from happening again, Jing Ling's identity was classified as confidential, second only to the highest level.
The order was passed down from above layer by layer, and what was finally handed to the action team was the location and interval of knocking on the car windows, as well as a code. After the secret code is exchanged, the verification is passed.
Jing Ling got in the car and closed the door. The person in the driver's seat started the engine and stepped on the accelerator without saying a word, and the car sped away. Other people in the car were not expecting this and their bodies swayed, but Jing Ling remained sitting steadily. After the car passed two intersections, a car followed behind. It was a friend, not an enemy, because the man sitting next to Jing Ling had just made a phone call. The content of the call was just two words, "Follow."
Two cars were speeding on the road, one after the other. The strong wind brushed past the bodies of the cars, like the roar of wild beasts. The scenery on both sides was rapidly receding. It didn't take long to reach the foot of Changchuling Mountain.
"Can you do it by yourself?"
Although it was said above that they were just assisting and just had to wait for news at the foot of the mountain, and the task was to be completed by the person codenamed J, this was Changchu Ridge. Even if we put aside that group of vicious drug dealers, who knew what was in the deep mountains, and it was late at night. The person from Raoshancheng Public Security Bureau asked one more question. Of course, in addition to concern, there is also a bit of dissatisfaction. Why should they, the professionals, become logistics and let a young and unreliable person with unknown backgrounds do the real work? !
The person who answered them was a low, somewhat nonchalant voice, "Hmm." As the voice fell, the person quickly disappeared into the forest.
The people from Raoshancheng Public Security Bureau were even more angry, but there was nothing they could do.
"Look what he can do!"
You may not feel anything when you are at the foot of the mountain, but as you walk a little further into the mountain, you will notice something is wrong. Night is a time for rest for humans. There are always night owls who practice Taoism. Among animals, there are some that are active at night. The Changchu Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, with lush vegetation, a suitable climate, and a wide variety of species. However, at this moment, the mountains and forests are completely silent, and even the most common sounds of birds and insects cannot be heard.
Jing Ling walked all the way inside and after walking for a while, he heard a flapping sound of wings above his head. Looking up, he saw an owl hovering above his head.
"Come down," he called, holding out his arm.
The owl heard the sound, flew down, landed on his arm, and called twice.
-They're coming again!
The "they" here of course refers to Xiaohui and Xiaohua. Of course, the one who really condemned it was Xiao Hui. After all, although Xiao Hua was a powerful tiger, he was nothing to the birds. Only a huge creature like Xiao Hui was a fatal threat.
"Okay, I got it. I'll take them away right now." Jing Ling said with a smile, stretching out his ten fingers to smooth its feathers.
The owl rubbed his fingers affectionately.
-Thank you!
"No need to thank me. In fact, I should be the one thanking you because I need to trouble you with something. Some people have come from Changchuling. They should be approaching here soon. Please keep an eye on them for me. When you find their whereabouts, come back and tell me. They are a very dangerous group of people. Please be careful and remember not to get too close."
-good.
The owl flapped its wings and flew into the sky. Its nimble body dived into the tall and lush forest and soon disappeared.
Jing Ling followed the smell to find Xiao Hui and Xiao Hua, and encountered several groups of people complaining. After he comforted them one by one, he asked them to help find people. These little guys are very enthusiastic, as if they don’t know what refusal means, and they will spontaneously bring other of their kind to help. It didn't take long for Jing Ling's eyes to spread throughout the forest, flapping their wings and flying in all directions.
Jing Ling also found Xiao Hui and Xiao Hua. The former was lurking in the water, while the latter was lying on the shore. Smelling Jing Ling's breath from afar, he immediately stood up and ran towards this side with all his limbs.
It’s been a long time since we last met. Little Hua has grown even bigger. I don’t know if it’s due to the influence of Xiao Hui, but her size seems to be beyond our comprehension limits.
Jing Ling rejected its attack, walked over and rubbed its head, then took out a bag of snacks from his pocket, which was dried beef. The pocket is so small that the things it can hold are naturally limited. This amount can only be considered a snack for others, and it is barely enough to fill Xiaohua's teeth. But there is no way, the conditions are limited, Jing Ling is here on a mission, not for tourism. As long as everything goes well tonight, the rations we fight for them will be delivered tomorrow at the latest. Now we are just satisfying our hunger.
The bag of beef jerky was soon empty, so he took Xiaohua back to the pond. As soon as I walked to the edge and stood still, I saw the originally calm water surface suddenly rippling, and a huge head slowly emerged from the water, with a pair of cold and gloomy eyes.
"Good evening, Xiao Hui!" Jing Ling greeted it.
The giant python nodded humanely, disdaining a fine layer of mist, which was blown by the night wind and floated towards Jing Ling. The fine and dense mist was unavoidable, and a slight coolness spread on the exposed skin.
"I'm sorry to bother you again tonight. But I've already applied for three meals' allowance for you in advance, and it will probably be distributed tomorrow, to the place you and Xiaohua used to go to."
The python hissed as it spoke, indicating its agreement.
Xiaohua next to her wanted to yell to show her awareness, but luckily Jing Ling noticed it first and stopped her. The roar of a tiger was already obvious in the forest. In addition, the current situation was special. Perhaps the one he was looking for was not far away. It would be bad if he alerted the enemy.
After talking about business, Jing Ling waited for news from the birds while playing with them on the shore, or rather, mainly playing with Xiaohua.
