Urban Druid

After dinner in the evening, Ning Qing put down her rice bowl and opened her notebook.

He needs to back up the experimental records, and he has to write the recently obtained theories of plant mutation induction into books. If he really wants to cooperate with those institutions, then these theories will become the guidance of experimental research.

Although he already knew the correctness of these theories from the feedback of the system, others did not know, and other scientists would not recognize them unless they saw real and detailed experimental data.But Ning Qing only did the first few experiments, and he hasn't had time to do the latter ones, so it is naturally impossible to have any data.

Gao Cheng packed up the dishes and went back to the living room, only to find that Ning Qing had sat down again after eating, and he couldn't help gaining a deeper understanding of the other's lazy nature.

He squatted down in front of Baozi who was lying next to Ning Qing, and sighed deliberately: "Poor little Baozi, it seems that today you can only walk yourself again!"

Baozi looked at his owner innocently: "Wow!"

Ning Qing heard the voice, turned her head from the notebook, and glanced at it.

Baozi continued to look at him innocently.

After a while, Ning Qing was finally overwhelmed by Baozi's wet almond eyes, and decided to go for a walk with the dog.

Baozi followed Kuode to stand up, obediently ran to grab his own dog leash collar, stood obediently, and Ren Ningqing, who was motionless, tied it on.

Gao Cheng smiled and said nothing.This kind of life interest in discovering the little-known little emotions under Ah Qing Bingshan's appearance makes him never tired of it, and he feels a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

The two led the dog and walked slowly along the usual route.

When walking to the small open space where stray cats gathered to feed the cats, Ning Qing found that there were a few less cats coming over.

He frowned and counted carefully, and sure enough, a yellow tabby kitten, a three-flowered long-haired cat and a white lion cat were missing.

As long as the three cats come over, they will definitely report on time, but now they haven't seen any sign after waiting for more than ten minutes. Could something be wrong?

Gao Cheng, who accompanied Ning Qing to feed the cats almost every day, also noticed that the number of cats was wrong. He wondered: "Will those cats run to the nearby Wetland Park? I heard that there are also many stray cat activities there."

Seeing Ning Qing's worried look, he said again, "Why don't we turn around and have a look?"

Ning Qing nodded, "Okay."

The two led the dog along the small road outside the community, all the way to the Wetland Park.

The days in autumn were getting shorter, and it was already night at this time, the road leading to the small park was very secluded, only the two of them and the dim street lights.

Gao Cheng looked up at the clear moonlight, then at the wasteful street lamps beside the path, and suddenly asked, "Ah Qing, do you think there are really plants that can emit light instead of street lamps in reality?"

Hearing this, Ning Qing paused, thought for a while, and then replied: "There are many plants that glow at night, but none of them can meet the brightness requirements of street lights, and most of these plants have harsh growth conditions, and it is difficult to adapt to the urban soil. and the environment. If you really want to develop this, there are many difficulties that need to be overcome.”

Gao Cheng laughed.Unexpectedly, when I asked a question casually, Ah Qing answered so seriously, what can I really say about him?As long as plant research is involved, is there such a great interest?

He stopped talking, and handed over the traction rope of the steamed bun to his left hand, and with his free right hand, he quietly held Ning Qing's left hand.

Ning Qing was still focused on the topic just now, and didn't notice that Gao Cheng was holding her hand.

The research required by the tasks of the druid system has been completed. In the next plan, he originally planned to purify water pollution, but if it is to be treated with plants, purifying water pollution is not as easy as solving the problems of air quality and soil salinization. , this subject is too huge, and it will take him and the scientists of Qinghe Biological Sciences alone to complete it.

Perhaps, you can try the lighting plants mentioned by Gao Cheng just now?

The more he thought about this direction, the more feasible he felt, and Ning Qing couldn't help but relax from being a little bored due to research bottlenecks these days.

It seems that everything has to be communicated with others, even if that person doesn't understand anything, it can still bring you enlightenment.The habit of doing things alone really needs to be changed.

Gao Cheng held Ning Qing's hand. Seeing that the other party did not resist strongly, his movements became more and more presumptuous. His fingers slid and inserted//into Ning Qing's fingers, intertwined with them, and then held tightly live.

When Ning Qing was about to switch hands to hold the leash, she realized that Gao Cheng had grabbed her left hand at some point.

The slender and strong fingers are intertwined with his own, and the slightly higher temperature of the other party warms his always cold hands. The jade-like white and slightly darker yellow are closely next to each other, which looks harmonious and ambiguous.

Ning Qing was startled, and wanted to withdraw her hand.But seeing Gao Cheng's extraordinarily gentle face under the warm light, for some reason, his heart softened suddenly, and he stopped his movements abruptly.

He always knew that the other party had done a lot for him.I know even more that my unscrupulous use is the connivance of the other party.If this is what the other party wants in return, then you can temporarily tolerate it until it hinders you.

Seeing Ah Qing's body stiffen and letting him hold hands, Gao Cheng's heart softened to a mess.Afraid of ruining such a warm atmosphere, he deliberately suppressed the urge to kiss the other party, still holding the other party's hand, and walked forward slowly.It's just that this speed has become very slow, as if I want to go through my life like this.

It's just that the sweet time always passes quickly, even if Gao Cheng slows down, the path of several hundred meters will soon come to an end.

When the two came to the gate of the quiet Wetland Park, Ning Qing withdrew her hand.

The wetland park is open to the outside world, and the door is always open, so that people can go in and play at any time.

The two asked the administrator of the park, passed by the small square where the uncles and aunts danced, and walked to the place where stray cats often gather.

As the two went deeper, the vegetation in the park became more and more lush, and the music behind them gradually disappeared.

After more than ten minutes, Ning Qing and Gao Cheng arrived at their destination.

Ning Qing frowned slightly, looked around, but only saw the dark tree shadows swaying in the wind, and the bright moonlight seemed to be dimmed here.

As soon as he arrived here, he felt a little bad. The lush plants here seemed to be telling him some bad news with their delicate voices.And he has been standing here for a few minutes, and no cat has come over, which is really abnormal.

He immediately thought of his skill.

The gift of plants: In places with lush vegetation, the sensitivity of the host's five sense organs will be greatly improved, and the ability similar to foretelling will be obtained.

"What's wrong? Ah Qing." Gao Cheng noticed his abnormality and asked with concern.

Ning Qing made a silent gesture to Gao Cheng, held his breath, closed his eyes, and listened carefully.

The gentle whistling sound of the night wind, the rustling sound of leaves shaking, the slight sound of fallen leaves hitting the ground, faint music in the distance... and a thin whining sound...

Ning Qing opened her eyes suddenly, and walked towards the place where the wailing sound came from.

"Wait! Ah Qing!" Gao Cheng hurriedly grabbed him, "Let Baozi go ahead!"

He took out his phone and turned on the flashlight option, aiming at the front lighting.

Ning Qing let go of Baozi's traction rope, ordered Baozi to walk in front with a mind link, and carefully smelled the smell on the ground.

Baozi obediently walked to the front, using his huge body and keen sense of smell to open the way for his master.After sniffing the ground and the grass for a while, it turned its head and barked at Ning Qing, and got into a more remote fork in the road, followed by a small steamed bun.

Ning Qing and Gao Cheng quickly followed.

The small fork road is overgrown with weeds and is almost completely covered by the dense branches of trees beside the road.Fortunately, Baozi opened the way, so the two didn't have too much difficulty following.

Baozi ran forward along the small fork road, and turned into a dirt path that was obviously walked by people after a while.

Continue along the dirt road until the end, but there is a small open space where weeds and shrubs grow intertwined.

Gao Cheng swung the flashlight of his mobile phone to scan for a week, and then relying on the dim moonlight, the two of them suddenly saw an iron cage in the bushes in the open space, and there seemed to be a cat moving in the cage.

Baozi had spotted the cat a long time ago, jumped over and circled the cage a few times, barking at the owner.

With a sullen face, Ning Qing pushed aside the grass and walked towards the cat.

Gao Cheng grabbed him, and was about to get in front of the other party, and said seriously, "Slow down, be careful of snakes!" When walking on the path, the reason why he didn't pay attention was mainly because Baozi walked by, and even snakes were scared away. But now that the buns and steamed buns are jumping over, it is very likely that there are snakes that are still in the grass and have not been disturbed. Ning Qing might be bitten if he walks over.

Ning Qing knew that he would not be bitten, so he blocked Gao Cheng's approach and said seriously, "I won't bite me."

Gao Cheng saw that the other party's expression didn't look like a lie. He also knew that Ah Qing had a secret, so he didn't object any more, but he cautiously passed a long branch over, "Use this first to remove the grass."

Ning Qing took it, and sure enough, he fiddled with the grass a few times as he said, before striding towards the cat's cage.Gao Cheng held up his mobile phone and followed him carefully, with a very cautious expression on his face.

Ning Qing walked to the cage, squatted down, and saw that there was not one but two cats locked inside.

When the cats saw him coming, they yelled "Mimimi" at him, with an extremely sad and sad voice.Ning Qing directly felt the emotions of the cats being hurt and asking for help.

He opened the cage carefully.

As soon as the cage was opened, a big white cat jumped out, but the other gray cat seemed to be injured and was clamped, lying in the cage and moaning.The voice was a bit familiar, the voice Ning Qing heard just now should be from it.

Gao Cheng put the phone into the cage, and under the light of the flashlight, the two clearly saw that the little gray cat's leg was caught in the clamp, and because it was struggling, the wound was getting bigger and bigger, bleeding out His blood stained the clips red.

"I'll remove the clip, you take it out." Seeing this, Gao Cheng handed the phone to Ning Qing, and snapped the clip open with both hands.

Ning Qing pinched it for a moment, reached out and hugged the little gray cat out.

The two moved quickly and cooperated perfectly. The little gray cat didn't feel any pain, and was peacefully held in Ning Qing's arms.

Ning Qing had just checked its injury, it seemed to be broken, but heard Baozi's cry.

The two looked over at the same time, and saw that there was a small fork road next to the open space, and Baozi called to them at the intersection, as if telling them to go.

Ning Qing asked Baozi with telepathic connection.

Baozi: Master, there is still a cage over there

Ning Qing's calm face sank again.He took the handkerchief Gao Cheng handed over, first bandaged the cat to stop the bleeding, and then followed Baozi.

After walking for more than ten meters, I found another cage, which also contained a cat.

In this way, under the leadership of Baozi and Mantou, the two found more than a dozen cages in this area of ​​the Wetland Park, some were empty, and some had already caught the cat.It took a lot of effort to rescue all the cats.

Fortunately, these cats were not injured or only slightly injured. Most of them got out of the cage, circled around Ning Qing a few times, and then ran away. Only the one in Ning Qing's arms was seriously injured.

By the time the two left the park, it was already midnight.

At this time, the pet clinic had already closed, so Ning Qing simply took the little gray cat home and decided to treat it by herself.

First carefully clean the cat's wound with hydrogen peroxide, and then use the skill.Soon, all the fractures and wounds on the cat's legs healed, but the spirit was still a little listless.

Ning Qing poured some cat food for it, and the kitten happily ate it.

When Ning Qing treated the cats, Gao Cheng seemed to know it was a secret, and thoughtfully took the buns and steamed buns to the bathroom to clean up the dirt and grass clippings stuck to their hair, and did not stay by to watch.

After cleaning up the two dogs, Gao Cheng, who came out, saw that Ning Qing looked a little depressed, so he walked up to him and said, "Ah Qing, don't worry. The park will strengthen management and inspections, and will not give cat thieves another chance." .”

Ning Qing hummed, and said to him, "Someone find out those cats and have them sterilized." Cats reproduce too fast, and the park management office can't handle it.Although sterilization is against nature, it is better than being caught and eaten.

He vaguely knew that in some places the tradition is to eat cat meat, that's why some people catch cats specially.Moreover, there is a cat meat black industry chain in the country. Unless the country legislates to prohibit this kind of thing, it is impossible to ban it.

"Okay." Gao Cheng replied dotingly.Then he changed the subject and said, "Steamed buns and steamed buns are doing very well today, it seems that they are not in vain."

Ning Qing looked at the well-behaved buns and steamed buns who were sitting side by side, begging for praise and petting, reached out to touch their ears one by one, and praised: "Very good."

The simple two words made the two dogs circle around him excitedly, shaking their heads and tails, which was cute and funny at the same time.

Seeing this, Ning Qing's depressed mood improved, and she no longer thought about the bad things just now.

What he didn't know was that starting the next day, Rongcheng and the entire Sichuan Province blew up a whirlwind to rectify the black cat and dog industry chain, causing countless thieves to catch cats and dogs. The wind stopped.Since then, the life of the stray cats and dogs in Rongcheng has become much easier, and the cat and dog vendors that can be seen everywhere in the past seem to have disappeared and rarely appear again.
