Sourness

Having lived on the mountain for a long time, Miyue is quite familiar with the terrain in this area. She knows that the river outside Qingshui Town will merge into another big river in the south, and the direction of travel will continue to shift south, eventually Enter the sea on the outskirts of another city.

And the direction the two cats pointed to him was obviously not the direction where the river entered the sea.

The terminus in this direction is another city.From the point of view, this city may be adjacent to the city where the river flows into the sea, but for Mi Yue, this unexpected difference disrupted all his previous plans.

Mi Yue thought for a while, then asked the two cats, "Do you remember what the people in the car looked like?"

Jin Xiaowu pulled Heihua with the cat's paw, and Heihua said shyly, "There are two people with short hair and hair on their legs... Are they men?"

Heihua looked at Jin Xiaowu uncertainly, Jin Xiaowu nodded, "Is your age...about the same as you."

Mi Yue asked them, "What else did you see? Tell me what you can remember."

The two cats got together and meowed for a while.

Jin Xiaowu said to Mi Yue again: "They piled up a lot of things in the car, it's a mess. There are also many boxes, and the instant noodles are all crushed... That's what the fat man who was driving said."

Heihua added, "The fat man was upset and said that he would not take jobs anymore. The other person said that he had no choice but someone ordered him or something."

Mi Yue nodded secretly, feeling that this matched the clue she was looking for.

"Where's the license plate?" Mi Yue asked them, "Did you see the license plate? It's a sign hanging on the back of the car with numbers written on it, it's so big."

Mi Yue stretched out her hand and gestured, not sure if cats could understand Arabic numerals.

Heihua showed a slightly tangled expression, "That..."

Jin Xiaowu snorted proudly, "I see, but I didn't memorize it, I only remember that the last two numbers are six."

Mi Yue was surprised, "You still know Liu?!"

Heihua also showed a surprised expression in response to the occasion.

Jin Xiaowu was upset, "It's that...the number that looks like a tadpole, with its head down..." As he spoke, he stretched out his claws and drew a "[-]" crookedly on the sand.

Not to mention, it really looks like a tadpole with its head down and its tail bent.

"You guys helped me a lot, thank you so much." Mi Yue couldn't hold back, she reached out her hand to touch Jin Xiaowu's head, when she raised her hand, she saw Heihua's anxious eyes, and turned around again Bend, and rubbed two handfuls on the black flower head.

Both cats squinted their eyes and purred in pleasure.

Soon a young man dragged a travel bag to find it.

Mi Yue picked up the things, paid the balance, and dragged the travel bag back to the woods, opened the travel bag in front of a group of cats, cats and dogs, and took out the sealed bags of dried meat sticks and bones inside. of eating.

"Because raw meat is not easy to store," Miyue explained to them while dividing the meat, "so I asked someone to cook it, sterilized it and sealed it, so that it can be stored for a longer time, and it won't go bad after a few days."

After all, the wild dogs have all rolled around in human society, and they have seen packaged food, and soon learned to use their teeth and claws to tear open the package to eat.

The strength of the cat's paws was weak, so Mi Yue directly tore open a pack of dried meat and hung it on the tree trunk as a reward for Heihua and Jin Xiaowu.

As for the extra bags of meat and bones, the wild dogs had a clear division of labor and ran back and forth several times, not knowing where to hide them.

Animals have their own way of survival.

Mi Yue knew very well that these were beyond his control.

Everything that should be done has been done, Mi Yue said goodbye to a group of long-haired friends she just met in Qingshui Town, drove his broken pickup, and continued on the road.

After Mi Yue left, Heihua asked Jin Xiaowu a little worriedly, "Did you really see the... license plate he mentioned?"

Jin Xiaowu nodded proudly, "I know numbers."

Seeing it stretch out its claws, Hei Hua quickly pulled out a piece of jerky from the bag, and rushed to hold it down.It was still a little worried, "Miyue asked, is it really that car?"

"Well... who knows?" Jin Xiaowu licked his paws, his eyes chattering wildly, "But the fat man who drove said that someone is chasing them, so they can't rest for too long."

"If it's really that car...they're obviously taking the road to the south."

Jin Xiaowu fell silent.

Heihua pulled the jerky with her paw, "He even gave us something to eat."

Jin Xiaowu resentfully argued, "Although there is dried meat... But we were coerced by the big black dog. I am most annoyed by the big black dog. When the fat driver gave us fish to eat, he didn't ask us to do anything." You forgot about such a big piece of fish?"

The black flower did not forget, so a tangled look appeared on its fur face.

"When we accept human food, it is equivalent to forming a temporary alliance with them." Jin Xiaowu said, feeling confident, and began to criticize his companions righteously, "How can we betray our own food?" Allies? If you really want to do this kind of thing, how will you mess around in the future?!"

Heihua reminded it weakly, "Miyue also gave us dried meat..."

"You guys are easy to soften your heart..." Jin Xiaowu shook his tail and snorted, "Although Miyue also shared our jerky, it still can't offset the fact that the two of us are being persecuted... I hate being chased up a tree by these wild dogs!"

Heihua blinked her eyes, thinking that what her companion said was quite reasonable.

It, it also hates being chased by dogs and jumping up and down to escape.A few times, I was almost bitten by a ferocious big dog, which scared the cat to death.

Jin Xiaowu rubbed the tip of his tail against Heihua's back, "Anyway, we are right."

Qingshui Town is not big, and the cats and dogs in the town are well-informed.In less than a day, anyone who has seen Mi Yue knows that he was followed when he left the town.

The person following Mi Yue was sent by Wang Xiaohu.

Who is Wang Xiaohu? He is the emperor of Qingshui Town. This is a fact that even the brood of otters outside the town knows!

The big black dog and his accomplices are a little worried, this person won't do anything to Mi Yue, right?They also hope that Miyue will come back safely, and treat them to another meal of meat.

Hei Hua, whose stance is not firm, is also full of worries about this kind young man.

Jin Xiaowu is just the opposite, he is worried about the silly dogs.

Worried and looking forward.

Maybe Miyue will be like them too, being driven into hiding, and finally running up a tree in embarrassment...

Jin Xiaowu gloated, thinking that the Twolegs must be very angry when he found out that he had gone the wrong way, and maybe he would come back to settle accounts with them soon.

Will it and Black Flower wait to be found by humans? !Of course it won't, so this account must be counted on the heads of the silly dogs.

These stupid dogs might still get beaten.

There's a good show here.

Mi Yue's car is a delivery truck on Lingxi Mountain. Normally, he and his fellow apprentices would take turns driving it down the mountain to purchase various daily necessities.Just such a broken car that climbs up the mountain road like an old cow can't go anywhere on the flat road.

So, he quickly noticed that there was an expensive-looking black off-road vehicle following behind him - if he had been driving normally, this vehicle would have passed him long ago.

As far as his broken car is concerned, it is only slightly faster than the speed of the tractor.Pedal the bicycle faster, maybe you can throw him behind.

Followed not too far and not too close, even Mi Yue's nerves were a little suspicious.

This area (including Lingxi Mountain) belongs to the branch of Qinling Mountains.Geographically speaking, Miyue's current position is relatively close to Mangling and Liuling on the southeast side of Qinling Mountains.The altitude here is more than 500 meters, which is a standard landform of mountains and rivers.

There are no national highways, provincial highways and expressways, only mountain roads driven manually, which are not wide and bumpy.If you are just a tourist, basically you will not choose this road.

Mi Yue had traveled all day, and at dusk, he parked his car on a slightly higher slope, planning to spend the night here.

The terrain here is high, so Mi Yue clearly saw that the off-road vehicle following him also stopped, and deliberately turned to the edge of the woods at the foot of the mountain.Not to mention, the woods in this area are old and dense with branches and leaves. If he hadn't seen it stop with his own eyes, it might not be easy to find a car parked there.

Mi Yue was thinking about how to solve this matter while preparing her own dinner.

For the sake of safety, he didn't dare to cook any delicious meals, so he boiled some instant noodles with an alcohol stove, and added a few ham sausages to the noodles.

There was a cooing sound from above, Miyue raised her head, and saw a fat owl standing on a branch, looking at him with a curious look with its big round eyes.The head is still tilted, very cute.

Miyue feels that this is an immature owl, because among the birds and beasts he has come into contact with, only cubs have such a strong curiosity about human activities.

"Hey, little guy," Mi Yue picked up a ham sausage from the noodles and shook it at the little owl, "do me a favor, I'll treat you to some meat."

At the edge of the woods at the foot of the mountain, the following man parked his car and sighed bitterly.

He can be sure that the other party must have noticed him.There are not many vehicles on the road for one reason, and another reason is that the performance of the two cars is too different.

If I knew that the broken pickup truck was so hard to drive, why would he drive an off-road vehicle? Just riding a tricycle would be enough? !

He also brought a lot of food in the car, but in the current situation, it was inconvenient for him to light a fire and cook with great fanfare.What if the target person leaves when the meal is half cooked?

He sorted through his storage and found a box of self-heating rice. He was about to open it when he heard the sound of wings beating outside the car.

The sound was very close to him, almost directly above the roof of his car.

This road comes out of the mountains, and there are not many vehicles and pedestrians nearby, so the ecological condition is very good. Not to mention birds, some people have seen wild boars moving with their families along the road.

When the man thought this way, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a shadow flashing outside the window on the passenger side.He looked up and saw a big bird flapping its wings, trying to land on the window frame.

The weather was hot, and the windows on both sides were open. This half-sized owl carefully placed its paws on the window frame, walked back and forth a little uneasy, and poked its head in his direction. .

Only then did the man notice that there was still a white paper folded in half in the owl's beak.

The man was dumbfounded, wondering if this owl escaped from Hogwarts by playing truant? !

The owl stared at him with big round eyes.After a while, it probably realized that this person was not a big threat to it, so it let out a cooing sound impatiently, and poked its head in his direction again.

This intention is really obvious.

The man reached out tentatively.

The owl moved two steps back and forth on the window frame a little uneasy, but it didn't intend to avoid it.

The man got the piece of paper it was holding in its mouth smoothly.A piece of sticky note the size of a palm, with a large character written on it like a silver hook painted on iron: roll.

The man smiled.

He dug out a pen from the car, wrote his answer on the back of the note, folded the note as it was, and handed it to the owl.

The owl tilted its head, picked up the note very obediently, flapped its wings and flew away.

The moment he approached it, the man smelled some kind of food, like ham sausage, or canned meat.

So... was this owl bought by food to run errands? !

This seemingly innocent and beautiful young man knows how to control beasts, so... is it true? !

Mi Yue didn't know that the man following him was thinking about his attributes, he put the cooled ham sausage on a disposable plate, put it on the hood of the car, and rewarded the little owl who ran errands for him.

Then he opened the note, thinking strangely, since he found out, how dare this person write back to him blatantly? !

On one side of the note, he wrote "Scroll", and when turned over, it was written in two flamboyant characters: No!

There is also a bold exclamation point.

Mi Yue was amused by this brazen reply.

The author has something to say:

What a failed track~~~
