Chapter 3
Although the new principal is young, he is a man of action.
As soon as I finished lunch, I changed my clothes and said I was going into the jungle.
While washing dishes, Wei Li turned around and said, "Okay, I'll take you in later. But we can't go deep into the jungle. It's too late. Try not to stay in the jungle after dark, otherwise snakes, insects, rats and ants will come out."
Mu Ling was curious: "Brother Wei, how did you spend the nights in the jungle when you were patrolling for a few days?"
Wei Li said, "As for living in a tree house, Brother Xiang and I can both climb trees and adapt to the width of the tree house without falling. But you, the headmaster..."
Mu Ling understood that Wei Li was afraid that he couldn't take care of her.
Mu Ling didn't make things difficult for Wei Li: "Okay, we'll just stay on the periphery and get out before dark."
Wei Li finished washing the dishes, dried his hands and said, "Okay, let's go."
We went into the mountains on mountain bikes, which are specially used for patrols by forest rangers. The body of the car is made of high-gage glass on all four sides. If you are attacked by wild beasts, you will not be hurt as long as you stay in the car.
The car was not driving very fast, but it was really bumpy. Mu Ling thought of what the owner of the supermarket at the foot of the mountain said - the environment was too bad.
Isn't it terrible? As soon as her butt touched the seat, she started shaking again. Along the way, she was like a pancake, taking off and landing repeatedly.
When the car finally stopped, Mu Ling was already exhausted and leaned against the glass window, dying.
Seeing her like this, Wei Li suppressed his laughter and consoled her, "Director, this is how it is in the forest. We're not even on the main trail, which is a bit flatter. But Director, since you wanted to take pictures, I took you a little to the side. The chances of encountering small animals are higher here, and that's where the golden rabbits hang out."
The little rabbits have little killing power and are timid, so they basically hang around on the periphery. They are more afraid of the large beasts in the deep jungle than humans.
Seeing that the director was still exhausted, Wei Li touched his nose and said, "How about you take a rest? Now that everyone is here, I'll go patrol ahead and be back in a few minutes."
Mu Ling nodded weakly and watched Wei Li leave.
After a few dozen seconds of rest in the car, Mu Ling finally remembered the purpose of her entry into the forest. She turned on her optical computer camera, set the camera to external flight mode, opened the car window, let the camera fly out, and see if there were any small animals within a radius of fifty meters to take pictures.
Her model of optical computer is old-fashioned, and the camera can only fly 50 meters. I heard that the newer model can fly 100 meters.
The jungle was dense. Mu Ling was a little disappointed after confirming through the feedback screen that there were no animals within fifty meters. However, it was still early, so if she walked further in, she should be able to see any animals.
The camera wandered around for a while, and in less than ten minutes, Wei Li came back. After Mu Ling said that she found nothing, Wei Li started the car and took her to continue walking inside.
I don’t know if it’s because she’s used to the bumpy ride, but after the initial discomfort, Mu Ling didn’t react that strongly anymore.
When they stopped the car next time, Mu Ling was in good spirits except for a few broken bones.
Wei Li got out of the car to patrol again. Mu Ling continued to scan the surroundings with the camera, but there was still nothing.
We kept going forward and stopping along the way, taking a lot of photos of the mysterious and strange jungle scenery, but we didn't see a single rabbit hair.
Mu Ling asked Wei Li quietly, "Brother Wei, there are animals in our zoo, right?"
Wei Li: “…”
Wei Li said helplessly, "They haven't been out much today. I've been driving for almost two hours and haven't seen a single one."
Mu Ling was particularly worried: "With this rate of sightings, tourists won't even get their tickets refunded..."
Wei Li scratched his head. "Why don't we go a little further in? There's a stream over here. If you're lucky, you might see animals drinking water."
The car drove a little further inside, and at a place farther away from the stream, Mu Ling finally saw the first animal she had seen in two and a half hours, a long-tailed raccoon.
Raccoon cat, a cat family animal.
The little fox was really small, lying inconspicuously on a branch. Its brown fur matched the color of the tree trunk. If Mu Ling hadn't opened her eyes as wide as copper bells, she wouldn't have noticed it.
"Brother Wei, Brother Wei, I got it!"
Wei Li also breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that if he didn't see any animals again, his gardener would eat people.
He carefully parked the car far away from the long-tailed raccoon to make it easier for Mu Ling to take secret photos.
Mu Ling let out the camera and brought it close to the long-tailed raccoon's butt like a thief. However, the cat was too sensitive. Even with such a big camera, it was not blind. It opened its eyes, turned its head, spotted the pervert, and ran down the tree in two whooshes, disappearing on the spot.
"This, this..." Mu Ling was speechless and stunned.
Wei Li didn't dare to say anything, for he was afraid that the principal would be too shocked and become withdrawn.
Mu Ling retracted the camera, lovingly caressing the blurred image of the long-tailed raccoon in the frame, and muttered, "That's good, at least it's a good start..."
Wei Li tremblingly suggested: "Director, how about we come back tomorrow?"
Mu Ling: “…”
Wei Li: "It's almost four in the afternoon now. It will take more than two hours to get out. It's getting dark..."
Mu Ling looked haggard, and she nodded with a vicissitudes of life.
Wei Li breathed a sigh of relief. "Wait a moment, then. I'll go check by the stream. Maybe there are animals there. If I find any, I'll call you!"
Streams are usually gathering places for animals, and they come here to drink water from time to time.
Patrolmen can also determine whether animals in the park have killed each other by observing whether there are bloodstains and remaining animal carcasses on the shore.
After Wei Li left, Mu Ling sat in the car and continued to look at the photos she took.
The photos were all captured by smart devices, and none of them were visible. However, the video did capture the fleeing long-tailed raccoon from behind. It was too fast, from discovery to escape, the whole process took less than a second. Mu Ling had to slow down the video 8 times to barely see the long-tailed raccoon's appearance.
“Boom.”
Just as Mu Ling was watching the film frame by frame until her eyes were almost blinded, there was suddenly a loud noise, the sound of something heavy hitting the hood of the car.
Mu Ling looked up and was immediately shocked.
Through the front window glass, on the hood of the car, there was a brown long-tailed raccoon with spots on its body. It was glaring at Mu Ling in the car with a fierce look in its eyes and bared its teeth.
"Fuck!" Isn't this the long-tailed raccoon from before?
Mu Ling was immediately ecstatic. She didn't expect that there would be such a good thing as materials falling from the sky.
She quickly turned on the camera again and continued to film the long-tailed raccoon.
As a result, when it saw the flying camera, the long-tailed raccoon exploded instantly. Because the camera was inside the car, it pounced forward and hit the front window of the car, and slapped the position of the camera with its claws. Its sharp claws immediately left a long scratch on the ultra-high-pressure glass!
"Fuck, the nails are so sharp! No, big brother, don't scratch it, replacing the glass is very expensive!" Poor Mu Ling almost knelt down in front of her cat brother. Seeing that the long-tailed raccoon was afraid of the camera, she quickly turned off the camera!
The threatening thing disappeared, and the long-tailed raccoon felt a little better, but it was still pacing back and forth on the hood of the car vigilantly. Then suddenly, it pounced forward again, and with a "snap", its claws scratched another hole in the car window glass.
But this time its target was not the camera, but Mu Ling. It obviously thought that she was in cahoots with the camera!
Mu Ling's heart was bleeding.
"Brother, let's talk it over. I've already turned it off..."
Mu Ling looked around and saw a small cloth bag in front of the dashboard. Before she set off, she saw Brother Wei stuffing meat strips into the small cloth bag.
Mu Ling quickly took out a piece of meat, opened the car window a little, threw the meat out, quickly closed the window again, and said, "Brother Mao, it's a snack. It's delicious. Try it!"
The long-tailed raccoon stared at the piece of meat that fell under the car door, and its cold animal eyes slowly turned to Mu Ling again.
You don't want to eat it? Not even the meat strips?
Mu Ling wanted to cry but had no tears. She had never known cats to be so vindictive...
Mu Ling quickly threw out a few more strips of meat, and said in a very flattering manner: "Brother Mao, please do me the honor of having a bite. I apologize to you and I will never take pictures of you again!"
The cat didn't understand human language. Since it couldn't see Mu Ling, it started scratching the hood of the car with its nails, leaving marks on it.
"Brother Cat, Uncle Cat, Grandpa Cat, don't go too far! We humans are not easy to bully!" Mu Ling was anxious, she also had a temper!
The long-tailed raccoon didn't listen at all. It even changed from scraping the hood of the car to planing it, using its claws to scratch the paint on the hood like an excavator until it became pieces!
Mu Lingqi was furious and yelled at the long-tailed raccoon: "Don't go too far! Do you know who I am? I'm the headmaster!"
The long-tailed raccoon continued to dig at the hood of the car, using it as a litter box!
Mu Ling suspected that it wanted to poop right next to her face as a provocation to her as the headmaster.
She must never tolerate employees committing crimes against her!
Mu Ling was so angry that she simply opened the car window, stretched out her arm, and shook the cloth bag, throwing half of the bag of meat strips onto the hood of the car. The meat strips flew all over the long-tailed raccoon's face. She quickly retracted her hand and closed the car window tightly!
The long-tailed raccoon on the hood of the car was stunned by the food that fell from the sky. It was so stunned that it forgot to scratch the hood.
Mu Ling grinned: "Are you scared now?"
The long-tailed raccoon reacted, twitched its nose, and smelled that the meat strips were edible, so it moved closer and sniffed again.
Mu Ling looked expectant: "Why aren't you eating it yet? Is the meat stick expired?"
She took one out and tasted it herself... Delicious! Eat another one!
The long-tailed raccoon shook its head at this time, and suddenly jumped out of the car, walked to the door, and then jumped onto the tire.
The tires of the mountain bike are very large and wide, and people can even step on the tires to get on the bike. Now this long-tailed raccoon is also standing on the tire, with its two front paws raised, its body pressed against the car window, looking at Mu Ling.
Mu Ling turned her head to look at it.
The long-tailed raccoon was also looking at her.
The man and the cat looked at each other. Mu Ling smacked the meat strips and asked warily, "What are you doing?"
The raccoon sniffed the car window and opened its mouth: "Meow..."
Huh?
Has the attitude softened? Are meat sticks still useful?
Mu Ling didn't dare to be careless. She opened the car window a little and pushed a piece of meat out.
Sure enough, the cat immediately meowed and grabbed the meat strip, but instead of eating it, it just looked at Mu Ling while holding the meat strip in its mouth.
What is going on?
Mu Ling tried to push another one out.
This time the cat had no mouth to hold the second piece of meat, and looked at it with some embarrassment.
Mu Ling was curious: "There's so much on the hood, but you don't want to eat it. You have to put it in your mouth before you eat it? But you didn't eat it either. What are you doing with it in your mouth?"
The cat holding the piece of meat in its mouth couldn't open its mouth, as if it was sealed. Mu Ling became bolder and simply stretched out her small index finger to the window gap.
Mu Ling was prepared to withdraw her hand immediately if the cat attacked her, but the cat just tilted its head and looked at the finger in confusion.
Mu Ling moved her fingers twice in a seductive manner.
The cat was indeed seduced by her, and moved closer, sniffing Mu Ling's fingers with its nose.
Mu Ling's fingertips touched the cat's wet nose, which she felt a little curious.
Then, the next second, an unexpected scene appeared. The long-tailed raccoon suddenly turned its head, and then it closed its eyes and rubbed Mu Ling's fingers with its furry forehead.
Mu Ling: "!!! Holy crap!"
Brother Cat, you make me feel strange!
Why are you suddenly like this!
Are you still the same cat?
Do you have a dual personality?
