Chapter 58 Chapter 58 I'm not afraid of the stinky cat eating my...
A seven-foot-tall strong man suddenly let out a thin, high-pitched scream, scaring the other people in the orchard. They thought something big had happened!
Sun Dalang's eyelids twitched, and the first thing that came to his mind was his brother's words that there was a brown bear here. He was so scared that he threw the basket in his hand aside and ran towards the sound.
They hurried to the strong man but found nothing was wrong.
Sun Dalang was breathing heavily and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.
Damn, every day is so scary! Why is there so much trouble in the mountains this year?
"What's going on? Da Zhuang, what were you shouting just now?" Many people didn't know what had happened. He shouted so quickly and urgently that they didn't have time to hear clearly what he said.
"Yes, there's a mouse." Da Zhuang covered his head and looked like he was about to cry, "A mouse jumped on my head!"
Who would have thought that this tall man would be afraid of mice!
Sun Dalang's mouth twitched. He resisted the urge to beat the man up and turned around to leave.
Everyone tried hard not to laugh out loud at the contrast before them.
The man who asked the question at the beginning was also trying to hold back his laughter, but he was somewhat doubtful about what Da Zhuang said.
"If you say there's a rat, I believe it." He obviously didn't believe the second half of Da Zhuang's words. He looked the seven-foot-tall Da Zhuang up and down suspiciously. "What kind of rat could jump on your head? This rat must be a spirit!"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that the surroundings had become quiet.
Everyone was staring at him, or to be more precise, at the area behind him.
"Why are you all looking at me?" He was a little confused.
Da Zhuang, who was standing opposite him, pointed behind him with a look of horror: "Old rat!"
He turned around suddenly and met a pair of small black eyes.
The little animal in front of me had gray fur, somewhat similar to a squirrel, and also had a big fluffy tail. It stretched out its limbs, and its hooked claws were tightly clinging to the tree trunk. There were black stripes between its gray fur. The most surprising thing was that its forelimbs were connected to its torso.
"ah!!!"
Who can tell him why the mouse is clinging to the tree?
Sun Dalang, who had just turned around and left, heard the scream and his heart tightened. He turned around in a hurry but found that nothing had happened again.
Sun Dalang: Damn! You scared me again!
This group of people going into the mountains was the most difficult one he had ever led! Barely any!
The little guy in the tree was also frightened by his scream. He spread his arms and kicked his feet, then threw his whole body forward and slid out again.
Zhao Mingsheng and his team were still a step too late. When they arrived, they only saw the orange-footed flying squirrel flying far away like a bird and landing on another tree.
When it glides, its forelimbs connect to its trunk to form a wing membrane, which is covered with a layer of fluffy gray-brown short hair. It uses this wing membrane to fly and jump repeatedly between branches, and disappears in a few seconds.
After Zhao Mingsheng took two steps, he gradually stopped.
"Forget it, don't chase him, I can't catch him." She said a little frustrated.
This orchard is the world of the orange-footed flying squirrel, which can move freely between the branches.
How could they catch up by walking on two legs?
Yan Zhuo couldn't bear to see her so lost, so he quickly searched his mind for all the records about orange-footed flying squirrels he had read in books.
It really brought back some memories for him.
"I have an idea."
Seeing Zhao Mingsheng's eyes brighten up instantly, Yan Zhuo's lips curled up slightly. He covered his lips with his hands and cleared his throat, saying, "We can go look for it in its cave. I remember reading that orange-footed flying squirrels like to build their nests on cliffs."
The hand like a jade flute pointed to the southwest, "When we were walking here just now, I noticed there is a cliff over there. Why don't we go there and take a look."
Zhao Mingsheng's eyes flashed with admiration. It's good to read more books!
She nodded hurriedly and said anxiously, "Okay! Let's go quickly then."
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, she will not give up any chance to find the orange-footed flying squirrel.
The two quickly found the cliff. From a distance, they saw several holes on the cliff, but they didn't know whether they were the holes of the orange-footed flying squirrel.
Just as they were about to leave the bushes and approach the cliff, a rustling sound suddenly came from the treetops nearby.
After a trembling of leaves, a tiny orange-footed flying squirrel spread its wings and leaped from the treetop, riding on the wind like an oil-paper umbrella, and landed lightly on the open space in front of it.
There was a red wild fruit in its pointed little mouth.
Zhao Mingsheng was about to chase after him when Yan Zhuo grabbed his arm.
The warmth coming through the fabric made her stunned.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Mingsheng asked in a low voice while paying attention to the movements of the orange-footed flying squirrel.
Yan Zhuo let go of her arm and couldn't help rubbing it twice with his fingertips.
"The timing is wrong now. Orange-footed flying squirrels are agile. If you rush out first, it might escape again at any time." Yan Zhuo glanced at the orange-footed flying squirrel's position and said thoughtfully, "Let's wait until it enters the cave before we go over. This will just trap it inside."
Zhao Mingsheng nodded, his eyes filled with even more admiration.
"You're right, I was reckless."
They continued to hide in the woods, watching the small figure climbing flexibly on the nearly vertical rock wall. It climbed half of the five-meter-high cliff in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Mingsheng quietly waited for it to crawl back to the cave, but things suddenly changed at this moment.
The orange-footed flying squirrel, which was trying to return home, was unaware of the approaching danger and was still jumping and climbing up. The next second, it was slapped down by a sharp claw.
It all happened in just a moment.
“Ouch!”
Zhao Mingsheng couldn't help but let out a short and quick cry of surprise.
"careful!"
A lynx had been lurking in the bushes near the cliff for some time, and even Zhao Mingsheng and the others didn't notice it.
It is a patient hunter, squatting quietly in the bushes, waiting to give the orange-footed flying squirrel a fatal blow.
The orange-footed flying squirrel fell heavily to the ground and had no time to react before it was pressed down heavily by a sharp claw and could not move immediately.
The little black eyes were tightly closed, and the whole mouse was shaking like a sieve with fear.
The lynx looked down at its prey with the posture of a victor, its light brown fur shining in the sun, each hair clearly visible.
However, it did not seem to be in a hurry to take the bite. Instead, it fiddled with it for a while with interest, as if it felt that the prey was too thin and not enough to fill its teeth.
After playing with it enough, it decided to use this little guy as a dessert, as if something was better than nothing.
As the bloody mouth approaches, the poor orange-footed flying squirrel can't even tremble.
"Bad cat! You can't eat it!"
There was a barely perceptible tremor in Zhao Mingsheng's voice. She was obviously very afraid of its bloody mouth and its sharp teeth, but for the sake of the last medicinal ingredient, she still resolutely chose to stand forward!
After she stood up, Zhao Mingsheng realized that her previous judgment was wrong. She had been squatting in the bushes and her sight was a few inches lower. The lynx looked a little bigger than an ordinary wild cat. Now it seemed that this was not a cat at all!
Its sturdy limbs and powerful tail repeatedly struck the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust. Its sturdy body was filled with explosive power. At this size, it would be more appropriate to call it a little leopard!
Hearing the noise, it raised its head, bared its teeth in the direction of Zhao Mingsheng, let out a series of low growls from its throat, and its thick tail stood straight up.
After making sure that the person in front of it posed no threat to it, the lynx narrowed its golden vertical pupils, as if it was very satisfied with the delicacy that was delivered to its doorstep.
Even from a distance, Zhao Mingsheng seemed to smell the fishy stench in its mouth. She couldn't help but take a small step back in fear. The branch pressed against her spine, making her come back to her senses a little. She clenched the small stone in her hand, and for a moment she didn't know whether to run away immediately or do as she had thought before.
At this time, Yan Zhuo's voice came from the side.
"Don't be afraid, you can do it."
Yan Zhuo had already discovered Zhao Mingsheng's intention, but he did not stop her. First, he believed that since Zhao Mingsheng dared to stand up, she must be confident. Second, even if she could not deal with this lynx, he was here and he would not let her get hurt.
Yan Zhuo's words have a reassuring power.
Zhao Mingsheng suddenly found his courage and threw the small stone in his hand at the lynx with all his strength, shouting again: "Stinky cat! Bad cat! Don't eat my herbs!"
Facing the pebbles hurtling towards it, the lynx maintained its arrogant attitude, not even attempting to dodge. Zhao Mingsheng seemed to read contempt in its golden eyes.
But soon, it suffered the consequences of underestimating its enemy.
The seemingly insignificant pebble brought unspeakable pain when it hit the body. It screamed in pain and all the hair on its body stood up.
Stone after stone hit it, forcing it to retreat. The lynx roared and was about to fight back, but it was keenly aware of a dangerous and cold gaze falling on it. If it dared to fight back, it would be torn into pieces in the next second.
Animals have always had sharp intuition, and they immediately realized that the man next to the human woman was the more terrifying existence.
