Xia Zhining held up Ms. Hu's photo in front of Zhuanghe and said, "Tell me! Have you seen this woman in the mountains?"
Zhuang He's pupils shrank, and before he could even come up with a lie, the cow next to him nudged him impatiently with its nose, frightening him so much that he blurted out, "Yes, I have! I...I'm looking for her too!"
"She...she seemed to have seen me kill someone! I chased her for a long time, but ended up losing her in this damn place...I've been trying to find her to silence her these past few days!"
At this moment, the little fat bat fluttered its wings and landed on Xia Zhining's shoulder, saying softly, "Sister, I found that auntie!"
[My friends in the mountains said she was in a cave in the deepest valley. Her leg was broken and she couldn't get out, but she was still breathing!]
"Hurry! Lead the way!" Xia Zhining's heart tightened.
Under the guidance of the little fat bat, they rushed to the edge of the valley.
Xia Zhining touched the cow's neck and said, "Brother Niu, I'm counting on you!"
The takin showed amazing climbing ability, carrying her on its back along the cliff as if it were flat ground, and quickly descended to the bottom of the valley.
In the cave, there was indeed a woman lying there with a weak breath. Her right ankle was swollen and her trouser legs were stained red with coagulated blood.
It was Ms. Hu Zisheng they were looking for! The owner of the paint factory!
"Aunt Hu!" Xia Zhining rushed over.
Ji Shuyun handed over the medical kit immediately with precise and quick movements.
Xia Zhining skillfully cleaned the wound and bandaged it.
Miao Zhichang carefully lifted Ms. Hu's head and slowly fed her some clean water.
With the joint efforts of Xia Zhining and Ji Shuyun, Ms. Hu was safely placed on the broad back of the ox.
The herd of takin carried everyone back to the cliff steadily.
After a thrilling night, the three were already exhausted.
Xia Zhining whispered to the little fat bat, "Pangpang, inform everyone that the mission is completed and we can pack up!"
The head cow heard this and took over in a low voice: "I will send my brothers to pick them up."
After a while, two strong antelopes returned carrying the squirrel brothers, the tabby king and the weasel.
The squirrel brothers were sleeping on the cow's back with their bellies up in the air; the weasel was lying on the cow's soft bellies, using its two big furry tails as quilts to cover itself tightly.
As a night walker, the tabby king was in high spirits at the moment. He occupied a takin, standing high on the back of the takin with his head held high, like a general inspecting a triumphant team.
The three people were so tired that they were "exhausted" and almost lay on the cow's back.
Xia Zhining buried her face in the warm and thick cow hair, feeling like she was sleeping on a constant temperature "mobile sleeper", completely isolated from the coldness of the mountains.
Ji Shuyun took out the blanket he brought and gently draped it over his sister.
The tabby king took graceful steps, leaped onto the prone Miao Zhichang's back, and began to "stomp" rhythmically, while issuing a majestic call: "Human, sleep peacefully. This king will personally guard the night for you!"
Although Ji Shuyun didn't understand cat language, he smiled knowingly when he saw the cat holding its head high and chest puffed out, and said in a gentle voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The criminal Zhuang He was tied tightly to the back of another cow, which was totally out of place with the warmth here.
The huge group of antelopes walked down the mountain with steady steps.
At this time, the deep night quietly faded away, the sky turned pale, and a ray of morning light was quietly lighting up the mountains and forests.
Outside the cordon at the foot of the mountain, it was already crowded with residents and reporters who had rushed there after hearing the news. Everyone was looking forward to it and talking about it.
A man with his hands in his pockets shook his head and sighed, "If you ask me, they're just too young and too reckless! Three of them daring to rush into the mountains where there's a herd of takin? Isn't that courting death?"
The woman next to her immediately chimed in, her tone tinged with exaggerated worry, "That's right! I heard the girl leading the group is some kind of... animal language consultant? Oh, that doesn't sound very reliable! It's been all night, I'm afraid it's very dangerous!"
A bespectacled reporter, seemingly knowledgeable, pushed his glasses up and analyzed seriously, "I think it's because of the murder. The police are under too much pressure, so they're desperate and trying all sorts of remedies!"
