Chapter 74
After hearing Ying Huai's words, Hu Hu, who didn't understand the situation at first and was blaming it, sat up straight and his eyes became serious.
"You said Hu Hu would follow Ali."
This is the low roar of a tiger.
Seeing Hu Hu and Ali looking so serious, the aunt who was looking at them and wanted to say something just shut up.
You can tell from this situation without careful observation that the godmother must have something to do and that's why she came to look for these two big cats.
Since they had something to discuss, the aunts calmly moved their benches a little further away from Ying Huai, closer to where Zuzu was currently sitting.
Although his actions showed that he would not disturb their conversation, his eyes never left Ying Huai and Ali.
Although I couldn’t understand the big cats’ meows, and I wasn’t sure what my godmother said to them, I didn’t care. I just watched while there was fun. No matter what I watched, I just watched it.
Zuzu looked at the group of young people surrounding him with gossipy eyes and felt a little amused.
"Godmother probably wants to do something, so she asked Ahri and the others to come over. Ahri and Huhu are strong and fast, and can travel very far."
Zuzu had been watching from the side for quite a while. She was experienced and had a clear understanding of the current situation.
"Is that so? We can also look for the younger ones in our village. They can run quite far, but their speed is slower, and their fighting power can't compare to Ahri and Huhu right now..."
When the aunts thought that their godmother needed help, the first thing they wanted to do was to come forward and recommend themselves. But after they finished speaking, they realized that there was a reason why their godmother didn't look for them.
"These brats always brag about how great they are, but when the moment comes, they can't even come up with anything."
Thinking about the current situation of the children in their village, the aunts felt helpless.
"It seems that in our village, only Shitou and Rufeng have abilities comparable to Alihuhu."
Needless to say, Shi Tou himself does not have any offensive capabilities, but his abilities can make the mutant animals on the opposite side become his offensive capabilities.
As for Tang Rufeng, he has no offensive ability, and his own conditions are weaker than those of other people with special abilities in the village.
After all, he has been ill for many years, and it is already good that his physical condition is the same as that of an ordinary person at this time, but his abilities are different.
Ghost, when the opponent wants to, he can touch you, but you can't touch him at all. Even if you use all your abilities, the opponent doesn't even need to hide, and can just watch him go to failure.
Ask the aunts how they know so much?
When the children in the village were training, they also watched the excitement from the side at first, but now they have seen everything they were curious about, and there is nothing else they want to know at the moment, so they gathered again under the locust tree and started gossiping.
Now, "What on earth do you need help with, Godmother? Can we help you out?"
One aunt thought about how she had been with the godmother for so long, and that the last time her kid got into trouble, it was the godmother who helped to mediate, otherwise the kid's butt would have been beaten to pieces by his father, so she wanted to come forward and ask if she could help.
Ying Huai had just told Alihuhu what they needed to bring back when he turned around and heard what the aunt said.
My eyes fell on Ali and Hu Hu, and I saw that there was no place on their bodies to put things. I couldn't just pick them up bit by bit with my mouth, right?
[Can you make some backpacks for Ahri and Tigress? They need to bring me some stuff.]
Thinking that since someone had brought it up, Ying Huai didn't bother to be polite and just said it directly.
"It's no big deal! Wait, Godmother. We'll get the sturdiest and most durable backpacks for Ali and Hu Hu right away."
Seeing the words that appeared in her mind, my aunt agreed immediately after she realized that it was her godmother who needed them to bring back some things.
He didn't even bother with the snacks like sunflower seeds he brought with him. He just stood up and hurried towards home to get the ingredients.
Seeing that the two of them couldn't leave for the time being, Ali and Hu Hu found the place where they had put the lamb legs before and started snapping them.
A lamb leg is not that big compared to the two big cats, especially since they are mutant cats with increased appetite. By the time the lamb leg is finished, Ahri is still not full.
Ali licked the corner of his lower lip with his tongue, still feeling unsatisfied.
"Hey, Ali, you're not full. Go back to Little Boss and ask him to give you a chicken. Last night, two chickens in our yard suddenly became ungrateful and pecked three normal chickens to death. Go find Little Boss and ask him to give you the two that are still caged. They're fresh because they weren't killed."
Zuzu was watching from the side. Seeing Ali like this, she waved her hand in a friendly manner. After seeing her waving, she took the initiative to move forward and let Ali rub her head.
Ali's mother cat was originally brought back by her. She heard that the whole family was very good at catching mice and was very popular in the surrounding area, so she asked someone to bring the mother cat back. At that time, it was very small, but it could already fight with mice that were smaller than itself.
Later, he raised a greedy little boss.
In Zuzu's eyes, the cat Ali is no different from the younger ones in the family. She watched them grow up, become more capable, and be able to live independently.
"Meow~"
After hearing what Zuzu said, Ali gently nudged Zuzu's hand with his head, turned around to look at the people who were preparing to pack it, and knew that they had some time now, so he turned around and headed towards the village.
"Tiger, are you going to wait here?"
Zuzu saw that Ali had left, but Hu Hu was still sitting beside him looking serious, so he asked.
After hearing what Zuzu said, Hu Hu seemed to be noticed. He came close to Zuzu and lowered his head to rub it gently on Zuzu's hand.
It was obvious that Zuzu had just touched Ahri, and it wanted the same touch.
"Oh, so it was Zuzu who petted Ahri, but not our Hu Hu, hahahaha..."
Zuzu smiled and rubbed Hu Hu's head. It was a bit funny to see the big cat opposite raise its head again after she rubbed its head, turn around and run towards Ahri.
"This big tiger that came to your family really doesn't look like a wild beast. Really, sometimes I think it looks more like a cat that grew up in your family than Ali."
An aunt nearby couldn't help but laugh after seeing this scene.
"Hahaha... You can't say that. Ahri is very well behaved. If he hears it, he'll make a fuss."
After laughing, Zuzu gave a serious instruction.
"Okay! Okay~"
My aunt also responded with a smile.
"Hey, is this bag too big? Can the Ali and the others carry it?"
After my aunt and grandma finished talking, she turned around and saw my aunt who was sewing a cloth bag next to her. She was speechless when she saw the bag-shaped cloth piece in her hand that was as tall as a person.
"Isn't this because I want to bring back more things for my godmother..."
Hearing this, the aunt lowered her eyes to look at the piece of cloth that just fell vertically from under her eyes to her feet. She was stunned for a moment and answered awkwardly.
"How can I bear to see Ahri and the others push themselves to their limits when they grow up?"
Aunt said this and came forward with a pair of scissors.
"Come on, it's almost done by cutting it in half."
Although Ahri can drag the bag made in this way if it hits something, it is definitely inconvenient to run with. What if she encounters some beast outside that wants to steal the things, should Ahri continue to carry it or put it down and fight with it?
The godmother asked Ali to make a special trip to bring back something, and they had no doubt that other people or animals would snatch it away.
"It's better to make it smaller so that Ahri can move more easily and bring the things back safely, rather than using our Ahri like a strong ox just to carry more things."
As my aunt spoke, she had already cut the piece of cloth in the other person's hand into two halves, handed it back to him, and gestured for him to continue.
Because Ying Huai said that the time was short, and Ali and Hu Hu were anxious to set off, the cloth bags they made were all made to be sturdy and durable without restricting Ali's movements, so they were not so particular about the appearance.
"Tsk, it's so ugly. Let's make a nicer one after Ali and the others come back."
Seeing the cloth bag taking shape in her hands, the aunt was disgusted at first, but now that she was in such a hurry, this was the only condition, so she had to make do with it for now.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ali running out of the village, with some fur still on the corners of his mouth. Obviously, he had just finished his meal.
The tiger following behind was still licking his mouth.
Apparently, Ahri also gave some to Hu Hu while eating.
However, would it take two big cats so long to eat such a small one?
Zuzu was a little confused, and there was some doubt in his eyes.
Ying Huai looked at it and explained to Zuzu.
[Little Boss found the chickens that had pecked them to death last night and gave them to Ali and the others to eat.]
Even though it had died last night and wasn't as tasty as a living one, Ali didn't dislike it at all. He didn't even need Boss Wu to help him pick the fur, and he just started to gnaw on it.
Hu Hu, who followed it nearby, also ate the same thing.
Because Boss Wu didn't actively help him pick the fur, Ali could only pull the fur with his mouth while eating, so he had to eat very carefully, and the more he ate, the slower his speed.
"I understand."
After reading the explanation that appeared in his mind, Zuzu finally understood.
The little boss himself was very fond of Ali because of his mother the cat. When they had few conditions in the past, Ali would go to the river to catch some fish and let the cat eat most of them.
Now that Ali has grown in size due to mutation, Boss Wu is always worried that Ali may not have enough to eat.
Even though the government later gave subsidies because of Hu Hu, and he had a Hu Hu who could also go out hunting, he still couldn't control his worry and would find ways to feed him from time to time.
The chicken that was pecked to death last night was originally intended for the family to eat, but when he saw Ali licking his lips after eating it, he put it out.
Ali was very generous. Even though all the food was for him, he still left one for Boss Wu according to the usual way of distributing food.
Seeing Ali and Hu Hu coming over, the aunts didn't waste any time. They came forward and started to gesture with their bags on Ali.
"Hey, it's just right to hang it like this. Ahri can put the things in just by turning around. Okay."
The aunts were very happy to see that the things they made worked perfectly on Ali.
But it was just a cloth bag after all, and even though they were careful, the mouth was still a little stuffy, which was not very convenient for Ahri to wear.
"Ah Li, try putting this fruit in there and see if it works."
An aunt put an apple next to Ali's lips and motioned him to put it in his bag and try it.
Ali understood, and with the fruit in his mouth, he turned around and tried to put the fruit into the backpack on his back. However, because he did not control his head well when turning, he rubbed the opening of the bag, which directly dented it, making it difficult to put the fruit into the backpack.
Hu Hu was watching from the side. Seeing this, he stepped forward and slightly extended his claw hook to hook open the deflated bag, making it easier for Ali to put the things in.
"Oh, Tigress is so smart!"
The person who was just looking distressed laughed when he saw this.
He turned around and hung the other bag on Hu Hu.
Strictly speaking, the bags they made were two. After they were made, they were sewn together so that they could be placed on the backs of Ali and Hu Hu. The force-bearing area was increased, which would not make Ali and the others uncomfortable.
A strap is added to the front chest to prevent the bag from falling off.
Because the straps are wrapped around the front limbs, you don't have to worry about the bag on your back falling onto your stomach or from your back to your chest while you are running.
It was done very well. After carrying Ahri on his back, he took two steps to the side, sprinted a bit, and after making sure there were no major restrictions, he turned around with satisfaction and returned to the locust tree.
As for the backpack being a bit ugly? That doesn't matter. Right now, Ahri doesn't care about appearance. She's still a practical person, as long as it can hold things.
Ying Huai looked down at the two big cats sitting upright in front of him with backpacks on their backs. They looked so cute.
Two locust leaves fell from the tree, carrying tiny rays of light, floating in the air, and finally fell on the foreheads of Ali and Hu Hu and remained motionless.
He felt something on his forehead, but it wasn't uncomfortable. He stretched out his front paw and rubbed it on his head. The locust leaf was fine, as if it was stuck there, with no sign of falling off. Satisfied, Ali retracted his paw.
"This leaf will take Ali and Hu Hu to their destination. Ali and Hu Hu just need to follow the directions and be careful on the road."
The leaf given by Ying Huai was made based on the perception of the previous locust leaf. It has a general direction, and Ali and Hu Hu will know the specific way to go.
After all, they are two big cats, and they are very flexible and maneuverable.
"Goodbye Huaihuai, wait for me to bring you the baby!"
Ali turned around and rushed out first. After he took a few steps, his voice came from a distance.
Hu Hu, who had been following behind it, also ran out. When he saw Ali meowing on the road, he also howled.
"Bye-bye, Huaihuai."
After the two big cats left, the grandparents and aunts present were relieved and sat down under the locust tree again to chat.
Just as Ali and Hu Hu set out towards Sangshan, Captain Dai's team members, who were already walking in the passage, had already walked around the passages with traces several times.
"The passages in Mulberry Mountain are quite complicated, and most of the time they go around in circles."
One of the team members looked at the traces on the ground and saw their footprints in the passage next to them. Although they were not lost, they couldn't help but talk about it.
"Well, luckily I didn't rely on any luck from the beginning and marked everything well, so I didn't get lost."
The teammate next to him said, and prepared to mark the direction at the bottom of the passage as before.
Just as he squatted down, shone the flashlight on that place and was about to mark it, he saw an unexpected pattern.
Although they knew from the beginning that the missing persons were wandering around in these passages looking for an exit because they could not find their way out, they were unable to find the marks recorded by the other party due to the dim light inside the passages.
"There's a sign here, go this way."
After taking a closer look, he also made a direction mark for his team next to the mark, then stood up and spoke to his teammates.
After hearing what he said, his teammates knew what was going on. Without any doubt, they just walked in the direction he pointed.
"I'll go ahead and scout the way, and you look for the next mark on the side."
There were mutant animals in the cave, which was something all the team members knew, so when they split up the team, they never thought of acting alone, and they set out in groups of two.
While one person is on guard, the other needs to carefully observe the traces left by the missing person.
Now that they have made a discovery, they will move much faster.
They followed the direction all the way and ran into the mutant fox they had seen before. The moment it saw them, it sniffed the air with its nose and quickly recognized them.
Although it is not clear how these two-legged beasts got in, there is no scent of treasure on them.
Muttering to myself.
Another stupid human, oh, forget it, just stay away from it.
After making up its mind, the mutant fox headed towards other passages the moment it recognized the two people.
There was no need to greet them or get annoyed at them for intruding on their treasure hunt.
Seeing it like this, both team members were a little confused.
"This fox is a little strange. Wasn't it afraid of us before? Why is it running away now when it sees us?"
Are they just starting to get scared now? They're mutants, so if they're going to be scared, they should be the ones to be scared, right?
The two looked at each other, with confusion in their eyes.
"If you can't figure it out, forget it. It won't affect us anyway."
The teammate said as he continued walking in the direction of the mark.
In fact, it still has an impact in areas that they are not aware of, such as damage to their reputation.
Have you heard? There is a bunch of new humans in our baby channel, and they are all stupid!
Because those humans are too stupid and haven't found the treasure yet, the mutated animals inside the passage don't regard them as opponents for resources, so rumors about the stupid humans are still spreading.
When you see them, you don't bother to pay attention to them. Some of them don't even want to meet them, for fear of being infected with stupidity, and just turn around and leave.
"It should be in front. The entrances to the passages around here are marked."
Following the direction of the marks, the two soon arrived at a place with dense passages. Seeing that the entrances to these passages were marked, it was obvious that the missing person had tried very hard to find an exit, and had basically walked through all the nearby passages.
"There's movement up ahead."
When they made the noise and walked over, Uncle Xiao, who was recording information not far away, also heard the noise and looked in their direction.
These channels are inherently very quiet. If you are too close, even the smallest sounds can be heard clearly, but if you are farther away, this won't be the case. The sounds emitted can easily be canceled out by the intricate channels and cannot be transmitted.
This was something he had tried before. He turned on the recording on his phone and made a sound within a certain distance. The farther away the other person was, the louder the sound was, and the sound that could be recorded in the end was very weak.
Because he made the sound himself, he knew in advance what kind of sound it was. Even so, he couldn't hear it unless he listened carefully.
Thinking of this, he sighed.
Why can't these channels learn from the caves in other places and directly transmit sound, so that a little sound can be transmitted far away?
Obviously not. This passage is very unique, otherwise he would not be trapped here.
"Is anyone there? We are from the official rescue team."
Just as Uncle Xiao was lost in thought, a voice came to his ears.
Listening to the sound coming from there, it was obvious that the other party was very close to his position.
It seemed as if he was afraid that he would remain silent due to caution, so he made his identity clear when he spoke.
"I am here!"
The only ones who can find their way here now are probably the official rescue team.
After all, only the official knew about the disappearance of the three of them. Even his family members were not aware of it for the time being. After all, he had been walking outside frequently since the mutation and had been unresponsive for a long time.
Uncle Xiao was certain that as long as the authorities did not deliberately find his home to explain the situation, his family would not know about it.
The location where they are missing is very unique! The authorities will definitely choose to search for them first, and then they will need to continue exploring.
“This way!”
Thinking about it, Uncle Xiao responded again in the direction of the sound.
After responding, he began to listen attentively.
There were footsteps coming from far away and getting closer to his direction. It seemed that they were a little anxious because they heard his voice, and the footsteps were obviously much faster than normal walking.
"What's the situation over there? Are you injured?"
After hearing the response, the two team members, although heading in that direction, still wanted to ask more questions to avoid taking the wrong passage.
"I'm fine, but my two colleagues who fell and are missing are injured and unconscious. I don't dare to move and need help."
Uncle Xiao also understood the other party's intention in talking to him, so he spoke up and explained the situation on his side.
Hearing that there were two injured people beside Uncle Xiao, the two team members ran faster.
Not long after Uncle Xiao finished speaking, he appeared in his sight.
The remaining trace of caution in Uncle Xiao's heart was completely relaxed after he saw the clothes worn by the two team members and the badges worn on their chests and shoulders.
"Hello, thank you for coming all the way here to rescue us. These two are the injured, and they shouldn't be able to move freely right now."
Uncle Xiao said this and took the two team members to the injured person and asked them to help check.
"Okay, wait a moment, we'll be there soon, no need to rush."
Seeing that they had just met each other, the other party took them to see the two injured people first, it can be seen how serious the conditions of the two people were.
After comforting Uncle Xiao, one of them went over to the two of them to check on the situation.
"We really can't move. Go find the captain. We need to turn around. Let Dunzi bring the stretcher."
As he spoke, he looked up at his teammates who were looking at him.
"Okay, I'll go, you watch here."
The teammates didn't say much and just turned around and left. While walking, they did not forget to make the marks they had neglected to make when they were rushing in this direction.
He followed the marks all the way back, and finally found the direction the captain and others were walking in where they had just started, and followed the marks to find their way there.
Finally, we bumped into the captain and his two companions who were following the mark back because there were no more traces ahead.
"Captain, we found the person!"
"Mo Shan, notify!"
