Chapter 23 Kitten's Transformation
He Jing followed Gu Zheng curiously.
"The dropped supplies are speculated to be nearby."
"What's in the supplies? Will there be any fruits?" He Jing's eyes lit up.
"meeting."
He Jing immediately started sniffing vigorously! The fruit in the backpack is almost finished, it's time to restock! ~\(≧▽≦)/~
A smile appeared in Gu Zheng's eyes, and the worry hidden in the corner was reduced a little.
“Here!”
He Jing dug out a box from under a tree!
Gu Zheng walked over, looked at it, nodded, and raised his hand to open the lid.
He Jing immediately leaned in, "Wow! There are cherries! There are apples! There are bread! There are even dried fish!" (★ω★)
It seems that Aunt Jiang is carrying some smuggled goods.
"Are your supplies so abundant?!"
"It's usually very simple. This should be prepared for you by the research institute."
"Wow! Thank you Aunt Wenqing! Thank you Brother Zhou!" The kitten danced with joy!
He Jing rolled out all the food, and Gu Zheng took out some flints and supplements.
The two of them walked away in a low voice and returned happily.
The fire was surrounded by gravel to prevent it from getting in the way. The fire was lit, and the dark woods were swept away. The golden flames were bright and warm.
"Gu Zheng, can I call Aunt Wen Qing? I want to thank her!"
She just sent a message to Zhou Bai to thank him, and he said that the dried fish inside was made by Aunt Wen Qing herself!
Not long after adding Zhou Bai last time, he passed Jiang Wenqing's contact to He Jing.
After He Jing added them, the two of them only had time to say hello. Aunt Wen Qing seemed to be very busy recently.
"Can."
He Jing cheered and carefully let 058 dial the number.
bite!
"Good evening, Xiaohe!" A gentle woman appeared opposite, wearing a white coat, her eyes full of smiles.
"Good evening, Aunt Wenqing!"
"How are you doing lately? Is everything going well?"
"Great! General Gu took great care of me! We just found the supply box, thank you, Auntie!" He Jing raised the dried fish in his hand, "It's delicious!!"
Jiang Wenqing smiled, her tiredness vanishing. "As long as you like it, I'll make you other flavors later. Do you like salt and pepper? Or cumin?"
"I'm fine with anything! Zhou Bai said you guys are very busy lately, so make sure you get enough rest~"
"Good~ Our Xiao He is so well behaved."
Jiang Wenqing looked at the kitten in front of her with a serious expression, and thought to herself, why not try a little of each flavor!
After they chatted for a while, He Jing turned the screen to Gu Zheng.
"Everything goes well with the plan. Don't be too nervous and get enough rest." Gu Zheng said expressionlessly.
Jiang Wenqing knew he was expressing concern, "It's okay, I always have to keep an eye on it to feel at ease."
The two chatted for a while and then hung up.
He Jing was grinding his teeth with a small dried fish in his mouth while warming himself by the fire.
"There's a river to the east, and a small waterfall. Do you want to go see it tomorrow?"
"I want to!" The firelight seemed to pour into her eyes, making her vision brighter and hotter.
Gu Zheng turned his eyes away, "Yeah."
The mountain breeze is gentle, as if soothing a frightened kitten.
-----------------
He Jing was lying on the tree, and Gu Zheng was guarding under the tree.
There were dense trees nearby and the fire was small, so the temperature could not be felt in the trees at all.
He Jing felt as if a pair of green eyes were always staring at him, and his back felt cold from time to time.
"Gu Zheng..."
Tiger opened his eyes, "What's wrong?"
"Can I...can I sleep under the tree tonight?"
Gu Zheng's eyes darkened, and she was indeed frightened. "Come down."
The kitten jumped down and lay down next to the tiger. Men and women should not touch each other, but now it was a cat and a tiger.
He Jing nodded in his heart and felt that it made sense.
She quietly touched her tail against the tiger's tail, and felt a lot more at ease when she felt the warmth from it.
Gu Zheng didn't dodge and pretended not to notice her little action, "Go to sleep."
"good evening."
Gu Zheng closed his eyes and whispered, "Good night."
Sleep falls, and the stars and moon hide behind the leaves.
Those eyes appeared in the dream, and then there was fire, and in the dream He Jing defeated it again.
Feeling the warmth from his hands, He Jing hugged him tightly again. Then the nightmare disappeared and a sweet dream came.
The scent of nature allows people to fall asleep quickly and start a new life when they wake up.
He Jing woke up the next day and had no idea what he dreamed about last night.
Gu Zheng squatted aside, not knowing what he was looking at.
"Good morning~"
"Good morning." Gu Zheng turned around.
He Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, and the sunlight shone through the gaps between the layers of leaves, falling just on the tiger's ears.
Shining with gold.
Gu Zheng was actually still there. When she woke up before, he was either not there or had just returned from hunting.
I asked him to wake me up several times to go with me, but he ignored me.
How come today...
"Are you waiting for me?"
"Yeah." He Jing understood instantly.
He laughed and said, "Why are you more nervous than me? It's okay. This kind of thing doesn't happen every day. Besides, I can protect myself, okay?"
"I said I would protect you."
"You've been protecting me!"
"Besides, improving my personal abilities and giving me the ability to protect myself is also a form of protection, isn't it?"
Gu Zheng could not deny that this was also what he had always thought about his subordinates.
Only if you are strong can you protect yourself forever.
He would train his subordinates strictly, but it was difficult for him to do so with kittens.
"Okay, you didn't eat anything last night. Let's go hunting! I'm full of confidence and fighting spirit now! (￣︶￣)"
Gu Zheng nodded, and his tense heart was gently soothed.
"Go east, maybe you can meet antelope."
"good!"
Gu Zheng was carrying two bags, and He Jing had a small bag around his neck, which contained some fruit snacks.
He Jing's mentality has completely changed now, maybe because of the wild dogs last night, or maybe because she has stayed here for too long, or maybe her animal gene is subtly changing her.
She really accepted the new rules of survival.
He Jing followed Gu Zheng, skipping and jumping, and while eating snacks herself, she would feed Gu Zheng from time to time.
There was a cherry on the left and a dried fish on the right, but her stomach was like a bottomless pit. Not only was she not full, she was getting hungrier and hungrier.
"I'm so hungry... What's going on? I can't seem to eat enough. >_<"
"You need a lot of energy right now, and these snacks won't help."
"So what should I take? Supplements?"
"Supplements can't keep up with your body's needs. Hunting, eating meat, lots of meat, that's why the transformation period should be released into nature, not kept at home."
"Okay!! I want to eat meat!" He Jing turned up his nose and searched around.
"Huh?!" She blinked and moved her ears again, "Gu Zheng, there's something over there!"
"Well, that's great. You're a cat, so you have a keen sense of smell and hearing. You use these two to find prey and determine its location. You did a great job just now."
"Then conceal your form and quietly approach, observing and judging the opponent's species and size. If you find you can't defeat them, immediately and quietly retreat."
The kitten nodded seriously and approached quietly.
This area is covered with grass and trees, and a few antelopes are grazing here and there.
He Jing hid behind a tree and observed.
She quickly locked onto one, slowly stood up and walked towards the camphor tree behind the antelope, and disappeared into the grass quietly.
