don't be cheap

At the end of spring, the temperature began to rise slowly, and the sky was getting brighter and earlier.

It was only 06:30 in the morning when there was a creaking sound outside the door.Shen Bei turned over and continued to sleep. He drank too much at the class reunion last night, and now he doesn't want to get up at all.

There was another light bang, mixed with a very small cry.Shen Bei tore off the thin quilt on his head, his closed eyelids trembled violently a few times, he stared at the ceiling helplessly and sighed.

As soon as the door was opened, a little yellow shadow rushed straight into Shen Bei's arms, his head kept arching against his chest, "Wow~"

"Hungry so early?"

Shen Bei held the little guy in his arms with one hand, while walking to the kitchen to make milk powder for it.After finishing it, I put it on the sofa and watched it lay on its back holding the bottle and sucking vigorously, and the little gas for getting up disappeared.

This is a little leopard. The mother was attacked by other wild animals and died when she was pregnant with it. After being discovered, the zoo sent people to the scene to rescue the little guy who almost died.

Maybe it's because Shen Bei has been taking care of him, the insecure little leopard only accepts Shen Bei's touch, and when other people get close to it, their hair will explode.

In view of this special situation, the zoo adhered to the "animal-oriented" principle, and after comprehensive consideration, let Shen Bei temporarily raise the cub, take it to work in the park during the day, and follow him home after get off work.

In this way, Shen Bei's apartment had an extra regular visitor.

I don't know if it's because it was born before full term. It has been five months since the little leopard was born. Apart from being healthier than when it was born, it has hardly grown much. It is still a small one, Shen Bei is the only one. It can be wrapped by hand.

Shen Bei speculated that it might be suffering from dwarfism in the beast, and after repeatedly confirming that all indicators were normal, he temporarily let go of his suspense.

Smiling lightly and scratching its stomach, the little leopard sucked on its pacifier and purred cheerfully. Its two big black eyes stared at Shen Bei, and its hind legs rested on his lap, kicking like Very little human baby.

After it finished drinking the milk, Shen Bei took away the bottle and let it play, then walked unsteadily to the bathroom to wash up.

After eating and drinking, the little leopard ran to the balcony. The sun had come out, and it was ready to enjoy a sunbath.As soon as the front foot stepped on the balcony and settled the posture, Shen Bei yelled loudly in the bathroom: "Son, don't put your feet outside the railing!"

The little leopard paused, reluctantly retracted the two front feet that had been stretched out, turned around and roared at the living room: "Wow!" Then he took two steps back and lay down in the middle of the balcony, slender and short. His tail flicked, drowsy in the warm morning light.

The soft voice seemed extraordinarily crisp and cute in this early morning when he hadn't woken up. After hearing its response, Shen Bei turned on the tap to take a bath with confidence.

Animals can understand human language, and Shen Bei felt that he and his leopard son could communicate without any obstacles, they accompanied each other, and their lives were not boring.

After lunch, Shen Bei rode his bicycle, put his son in his pocket and went to the zoo under the scorching sun.

He was supposed to have a rest today, but something happened to the family of the administrator Xiao Chen in the same group, so he had to be asked to help him, who lives closest to here.

To his relief, there were almost no people in the wild animal garden today, and the garden was fairly clean and tidy. He only needed to feed the wild beasts and then he could go home early.

The little leopard had had enough sun in the morning, and now he just wanted to take a nap in the air-conditioned room, and it was rare for him not to cling to Shen Bei.

It curled up in the den under the bed, closed its eyes and let out a soft whistle, and the few sparse white whiskers at the corners of its mouth trembled from time to time.

Shen Bei shook his head with a light smile, and rubbed his pointed ears fiercely, "Little bastard, you've learned how to pretend."

"Aww..." The little leopard who had been punctured immediately opened his eyes and rubbed Shen Bei's palm flatteringly.

Shen Bei laughed angrily at it, and patted its head, "Okay then, you have to stay in the room obediently, don't run around!"

What responded to him was Little Leopard's more enthusiastic flattery.

D City Branch of the Special Biological Management Agency.

Qi Ao stood in front of the window looking at the scorching sun outside, feeling a little irritable in his heart.

A few days ago, news came from the General Administration that there have been some mutations in the wild animals in many zoos in the human world recently, and all branches are required to step up investigation.He inspected the zoo carefully every week on the routine closing day. Although he couldn't find any abnormalities, he felt a little worried.

The wild animal park in D City Wildlife Park is the largest free-range area for wild animals in the human world. There is no reason why there are abnormalities in other places, but he is so peaceful here.

Thinking of the bloody photos uploaded above, he rubbed the center of his brows with a headache.Walking to the phone, he pressed the secretary's number, "Changlin, get ready, we'll go to the wildlife park right away."

An hour later, Qi Ao bought a ticket and entered the zoo alone.

The weather is hot today, and tourists almost all go to the aquarium in the park. They can not only enjoy the shade, but also have intimate contact with the animals in the sea. It is really better than watching lazy beasts under the venomous sun.

In this way, Qi Ao also saved a lot of heart.When he came to the wild animal park, he felt that there were only a few people wandering around in this large free-range area, and they were all concentrated in the orangutan area.

After pondering for a moment, Qi Ao walked to the tiger area in another direction, taking advantage of the fact that no one could take a good look at the situation.

The moment he crossed the small river in the middle lightly, climbed over the iron fence and entered the central area, he immediately noticed a faint fluctuation of the demon's breath.

Sure enough, there was a real problem.

Qi Ao's eyes sank, and he walked towards the direction of perception.

He thought that every time before, he didn't find any flaws. It should be that the monster calculated the time of his appearance to restrain his breath.

But the breath can only be held for a while, and without a deliberate disguise, the identity will be self-defeating.

In order not to overwhelm others, Qi Ao concealed his aura long ago when he entered the zoo, and now he is nothing more than an ordinary person in the eyes of those beasts.

He walked towards the small hill step by step, the lush weeds under his feet pierced his calf through the thin trousers, cutting him tightly.

The monster was on the other side of the hill, and he could only walk slowly over it patiently.

Halfway through Qi Ao's walk, the tiger demon jumped up from behind the hill and roared wildly at him, his eyes full of fierce hunting.

At the same time, big and small tigers appeared all around, howling one after another, as if they were running around telling each other that there was a fresh game here.

***

After playing around with the little leopard for a while, when the outdoor temperature was no longer so hot, Shen Bei drove a small three-wheeler and walked towards the tiger area with a lot of food.

When he saw a large group of tigers rushing towards Qi Ao, thousands of grass and mud horses galloped past him.

Before he had time to curse that man for wanting to come here to die, Shen Bei's subconscious reaction was to yell over there: "Hey! Your dinner is here!" Immediately, he ran to the back of the car and threw the fresh, bloody beef towards him. Throw it into the tiger pile in an attempt to distract them.

Qi Ao was also shocked by this sudden change, he couldn't figure out how his perception was all over the whole beast garden, how could someone come here without him noticing.

Now it's really come to a dilemma.

Originally, those tigers had already sensed something strange when they approached him, and they even started to tremble in their limbs in front of the powerful force, but they ran towards Qi Ao involuntarily.

Qi Ao controlled them, but the moment Shen Bei appeared, the imprisonment disappeared instantly.All the tigers immediately ran towards the meat thrown by Shen Bei, and all of a sudden Qi Ao's side was empty.

The tiger demon also disappeared in an instant, so that Qi Ao could no longer detect it.

Unable to restrain himself from cursing in a low voice, Qi Ao turned around and walked towards the direction where the tiger demon came just now.

Seeing the tigers being distracted, before Shen Bei could breathe a sigh of relief, he continued to walk into the depths of the tiger zone, anxious and angry, throwing the meat in his hands desperately, while shouting loudly: "Come back!" , Come back quickly! Come this way."

He kept his hands down, hooked a thick hemp rope on his feet and put it into the small river below, and shouted at Qi Ao: "Hurry up, hold on to the rope."

Qi Ao was annoyed by his yelling, and knew that he would not be able to find that monster today, but fortunately, it is not strong enough to leave the zoo in a short time.After staring deeply at the direction of the hill, he quickly ran towards the direction of the rope.

When being pulled up by Shen Bei, he adjusted his facial expression, pretending to be panicked and climbing hard.

Shen Bei was restrained by his strength, and he pulled him up with all his strength. When he reached the top, his feet slipped, and he was pulled to the side of the stone railing together with himself, and was caught by Qi Ao who had just climbed up.

The two fell to the ground together, and Shen Bei was almost injured internally by the sudden weight on his body.

"You're going to die, get up quickly." He yelled under his throat.

The moment Qi Ao fell on Shen Bei's body, his eyes changed, his nose moved almost invisibly, and he sniffed quietly and carefully while he got up.

He looked at Shen Bei, suppressed all the emotions that surged up, and only left a sincere smile, "Thank you."

Shen Bei bared his teeth and rubbed the back of his head when he hit the ground, that firm fall really made him excruciatingly painful.

Qi Ao felt sorry, and immediately reached out to rub Shen Bei's head, "I'm sorry."

Shen Bei didn't like others touching him, so he tilted his head and stood up and yelled at Qi Ao: "You're crazy, that's a wild tiger, are you deliberately looking for bad luck in our zoo!"

Qi Ao patted the dust and weeds on his body, seeing Shen Bei's handsome facial features distorted by pain and anger, sweat dripping from his forehead, wet his front, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.After searching for so many years, I never expected that the reunion would be such an embarrassing scene.

Sometimes meeting is so unexpected.

He unbuttoned the outside of his shirt pocket, which contained a tiny video camera that he always carried with him in case of emergencies.

Qi Ao raised his hands in front of Shen Bei, with an apologetic expression on his face, "I am a wildlife photographer. The reason why I went inside was to capture more wonderful pictures of wild animals. I am sorry for causing you trouble. I promise, I will definitely That's not going to happen."

Shen Bei felt dizzy suddenly. After listening to Qi Ao's words in a daze, he stared at Qi Ao's back after bowing and apologizing to him and leaving.

It took him a while to realize that he let him slip away like this?

Holding his breath in his throat before it was released, it was cut in his throat, which made him happy or unhappy.

After absent-mindedly feeding the rest of the park, Shen Bei returned to the lounge with a sleepy expression.

As soon as he opened the door, the little leopard jumped on him and rolled back and forth in his arms.Climb up on his head, curled up against his neck and kept rubbing, making fine hairs all over his body.

"Aooooooooooow..."

Shen Bei was warmed by its intimate movements, and the unhappiness in his heart quickly disappeared.

"Hehe, I just missed me so much after we haven't seen each other for a while." Shen Bei grabbed the little leopard to prevent him from scratching his head, rubbed its two fleshy front paws and said with satisfaction: "You're so good, I didn't hurt you for nothing." .”

After playing with one person and one leopard for a while, Shen Bei reported the matter to the zoo office, hummed a little tune and hurried home with his son.

The landlord called just now and said that the remaining room in the apartment was rented out, and a new tenant would arrive soon.

Shen Bei thought about it and finally rented it out, and if he didn't come to share the rent with someone else, he would almost die of poverty.However, if the new tenant doesn't like keeping animals at home, Shen Bei has no choice but to grit his teeth and bear the rent of the entire apartment by himself.

There is no way, after all, he is his own son, so he cannot be wronged.
