Chapter 222 Animals
The sun completely disappeared into the horizon, and the sky was filled with stars.
The pickup truck stopped in front of the entrance gate to the reserve.
Li Mu and Brother Nan took out their ID cards and after verifying their identities, they drove into the protected area.
There were no street lights installed on the winding mountain road leading into the mountains. Brother Nan turned on the headlights of the car, slowed down a bit, and drove towards the forest ranger yard.
On the way, Brother Nan’s mother called.
At Nan's signal, Li Mu took the phone, helped her answer the call, and held the phone to her ear.
Like her aunt, Nan Ge’s mother also cared about whether she had arrived at the place or not.
After chatting for a while, we hung up.
"Do you think men are more reserved?" Brother Nan turned his head and asked.
"What?" Li Mu reached out and turned Brother Nan's head back.
"Don't you have very sharp ears? Didn't you hear what my parents said just now?"
"I wasn't eavesdropping."
"Really?" Brother Nan glanced at him suspiciously.
"Yes."
This person often eavesdrops, so I thought he would do the same.
Oh, woman!
"Ok."
Brother Nan didn't care and continued, "Although it was my mom who called just now, my dad was also listening beside me. I heard everything. He whispered what he wanted to say to me to my mom, and then asked my mom to tell me. He could have said it directly to me. By the way, does your uncle do the same?"
"Will do."
Li Mu thought about it and said, "Maybe this is the difference between men and women in the way they express their emotions. Just like a father rarely says "I love you" to his child, but he will quietly leave the best things for his child."
"That's right." Brother Nan nodded. "No wonder when I went home this time, I found that my father had hidden the wine in the same place. Maybe he wanted to give it to me, but was too embarrassed to ask for it, right?"
"Ok?"
Li Mu was stunned for a moment and looked at Brother Nan in surprise.
"I should have left him one bottle." Brother Nan sighed, "He is under my mother's control at home, so it's not easy for him to have a drink."
"."
Li Mu opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped.
Finally, I felt silently sorry for Brother Nan’s father in my heart for a few seconds.
“By the way, did you hear the tone of my mother’s voice just now? Did she have a cold? It sounded a bit like that to me.” Brother Nan suddenly said.
"No, it sounds normal to me." Li Mu said subconsciously, and then reacted, "Ahem! I don't know."
"Li Mutou" Brother Nan stared at Li Mu with a smile, "Didn't you not eavesdrop? You are not honest!"
".You drive carefully, there are no street lights."
"Hmm."
Brother Nan didn't want to let him go like this, but seeing Li Mu's embarrassed look as if he was caught doing something bad, he always felt that he was acting a little like a spoiled child.
What could she do?
It's not just about forgiving him.
Forest protection yard.
The solar lights in the yard have automatically lit up, illuminating the yard.
But the yard was quiet.
The gate to the yard was open.
On the grass at the door, a group of cubs were playing bottle chasing.
A row of golden monkeys squatted on the courtyard wall, looking at their cubs playing on the grass below, and occasionally raised their heads to look into the distance.
On the rooftop, the golden eagle Xiaoshuai was helping Xiaomei tidy up her feathers.
Suddenly, Xiao Shuai stopped and turned to look at the winding mountain road.
In the distance, a small dot of light was coming towards the yard.
"call--"
A gust of wind blew off the roof.
The two golden eagles were already mid-air, flying quickly towards the small spot of light.
A row of wooden houses under the west wall.
A large tiger came out of the wooden house, followed by a female wolf and a black bear.
The three animals looked at each other and slowly walked out of the gate. The group of cubs playing at the gate stopped and looked curiously at their mother squatting at the gate, wondering why they all came out.
"What's wrong?" The little wolf cub turned his head and asked the tiger cub sister beside him.
When Master Yogurt was away, Sister Tiger Cub became the backbone of the group of cubs.
“I don’t know either,” the tiger cub sister said. Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she immediately turned her head and looked at the little golden eagle, “You guys quickly fly up to the sky and see if Brother Nan’s car has returned!”
Upon hearing this, the three little golden eagles immediately took off into the air.
The two little bear cubs stood up and stretched their necks to look towards the intersection, but it was still dark there.
The tiger cub crawled on all fours, quietly approached the bear cubs, and with a roar, snatched the bottle from their hands.
The little bear cub lowered his head and saw the bottle he had just grabbed being taken away, and immediately chased after his tiger brother.
"Sister, here you go, I'll stop them!" The tiger cub ran back to his sister excitedly and lowered his head to put down the bottle.
This is how they played the bottle-chasing game these past two days. After it grabbed the bottle, it gave it to its sister, and then it provided cover to block the cubs that came to chase it.
But my sister just looked down at the bottle and ignored it, looking up at the sky.
The tiger cub looked confused, what happened to his sister?
I don’t even want to play the fun game of chasing bottles anymore.
"I'm back, I'm back!" The little golden eagle flew back, unable to conceal its happiness, "I saw Brother Nan's car!"
The tiger cub sister was stunned for a moment, then suddenly ran towards the mountain road. Although she was still young, her running momentum already had some of the momentum of a mountain overlord.
The little wolf cubs immediately followed.
The tiger cub stared blankly at his sister who was running away, then he reacted, let out a roar, and went to chase his sister.
The two little bear cubs also dropped the bottles they had just picked up and ran away.
"We haven't been back for three days. I wonder how the animals in the yard are doing?"
"We'll know soon." Li Mu gently stroked the kitten on his lap. The mountain road was full of gravel and a bit bumpy, and the kitten was a little carsick from the shaking.
"Boom!"
There was a sound from the hood of the pickup truck, followed by Xiao Shuai's voice: "Li Mu! You're back!"
"You silly golden eagle! Can't you learn from your wife and land on the roof of the car!?" Brother Nan was startled by the golden eagle that suddenly landed on the hood.
"Huh?" Xiao Shuai looked at her in confusion, not understanding anything at all.
This silly look made Brother Nan lose his temper.
Suddenly, Brother Nan braked to stop the car.
In the light from the headlights, a group of cubs were running towards the car quickly.
"Oh my, why are you all here?" Brother Nan unbuckled his seat belt, pushed the door and got out of the car.
Li Mu also got out of the car holding the kitten.
"Master Yogurt! Li Mu! Brother Nan!"
The elder tiger cub ran over first, looking excited and jumping around happily.
The kids were young and didn’t understand what Li Mu meant by leaving for three days.
In their opinion, if the animal has been out hunting for such a long time without returning home, it is very likely that it died outside.
On the first day, Tiger Cub sister was so worried that Li Mu and the others didn’t come back that she didn’t sleep well that night.
But it trusts Master Yogurt very much. Master Yogurt is very powerful and will not die outside.
The Great Sage also told him that Li Mu and Brother Nan had taken Lord Yogurt to the city and that they would be fine.
Even so, these three days were very painful.
Now, Li Mu, Brother Nan, and Mr. Yogurt are standing in front of it.
The tiger cub sister felt relieved at once.
"Li Mu!"
Three little wolf cubs also ran over and rubbed against Li Mu's calves wildly.
The two little black bears even hugged Li Mu's legs directly.
It was obvious that the cubs had been very worried during the past three days.
"Okay, okay, we're fine."
Li Mu noticed their emotions, squatted down, and touched them one by one.
"Do you miss Mr. Yogurt, meow?" The cat also stretched out its little paw and pressed the cubs' foreheads one by one.
"miss you!"
The cubs said in unison.
