Chapter 254 Poor Little Flying Squirrel We walked and rested along the way, and before we knew it, we arrived at a forest. There was a faint sound of water coming from deep in the woods. The cat stopped and sniffed around, then looked back at Li Mu, "How come Master Yogurt smells like a clouded leopard?" "Master Yogurt, do you still remember the clouded leopard?" "Remember! The doggie gold it gave us!" the kitten said seriously. Clouded Leopard is a good leopard. It brought valuable dog gold. Lord Yogurt will naturally not forget it. "Mr. Yogurt has an excellent memory." Li Mu turned his head and looked around. "This is the territory of the clouded leopard. The mountain stream where Team Leader Lin is stationed is also nearby. We will return to the provincial capital tomorrow. Let's go and take a look. If we can see Team Leader Lin, we can tell him in person, what do you think, Lord Yogurt?" "Master Yogurt thinks you are right."
"Let's go then." "Let's go~" A man and a cat entered the woods and walked towards the mountain stream. "It's a leopard!" The kitten stood up, climbed over the cat-high grass, and saw the clouded leopard lying on a tree branch. The clouded leopard on the tree branch turned around and saw Li Mu and the kitten. It immediately climbed down the tree and walked towards them. "The food is good." Li Mu touched the clouded leopard that was rubbing against his trouser leg. The clouded leopard was now a little fatter than the last time they met. "What are you looking at in the tree?" the cat asked curiously. The clouded leopard glanced back and saw that this was already the edge of the deep woods. Not far away was a mountain stream, and there were several military tents set up on a flat gravel beach. This mountain stream also belongs to its territory. The sudden appearance of a group of people and tents made it alert and curious at the same time. Therefore, every day after hunting and when it had nothing to do, it would come over and stare at them. However, it knew that this group of people knew Li Mu and had never harmed it, so it tacitly allowed these people to live in its territory. "They won't stay here forever. They will leave once the work is done." Li Mu touched the clouded leopard and said softly. Clouded Leopard nodded and looked at Li Mu, "Are you here to look for stones?" "No, I'm here to find them." Li Mu pointed in the direction of the tent. After chatting with the clouded leopard for a while, the man and the cat walked out of the woods. The clouded leopard also followed them out. "Li Mu?" A man walked out of the largest tent in the middle, holding a stack of information in his hand. He was startled when he saw Li Mu, then turned around and shouted to the tent, "Team Leader, Comrade Li Mu is here!" As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zhihao, who was wearing camouflage uniform, walked out of the tent and stretched out his right hand, "Here I come." "Hello, Team Leader Lin." Li Mu stretched out his right hand and shook hands with him.
"Don't be so polite, let's go into the tent," Lin Zhihao said, and suddenly saw the clouded leopard behind him, and his expression immediately became nervous. "It's okay, it followed me." Li Mu looked back and said with a smile, "Your tent is stationed in its territory, and it is very curious about you." "Do you know?" "I've helped it get chicken bones before." "Young people nowadays are really amazing." Lin Zhihao looked at Li Mu with curiosity, and then felt relieved. He already has a group of ferocious beasts in his yard, so it doesn't seem surprising that there are a few more familiar animals in the forest. Li Mu followed Lin Zhihao into the tent. This should be their temporary office, filled with various instruments and materials. "Our exploration work has entered the final stage and will be almost completed after the National Day." Lin Zhihao took a 3D mapping drawing and said excitedly, "Although the final data has not yet come out, based on my many years of experience, the bottom line here is that there is also a large gold mine. When the final data comes out, it is not impossible that it is an extra-large one." "Oh, I see." Li Mu glanced at the drawings. The various data on them were like incomprehensible writings. "Haha, no matter whether it's a large gold mine or an extra-large one, the confidentiality level of your protected area will have to be raised a few notches." Lin Zhihao smiled heartily, "The large gold mines in our country are strategic reserves. After I submit my report, the province will send a troop over here. By then, there will definitely be no more poaching incidents here." "Yeah." Li Mu nodded. It is indeed a good thing to have troops stationed nearby, whether it is to prevent poaching or forest fires, having them around always makes people feel at ease. "Also, as I said last time, as the first person to discover and report the gold mine, I can't guarantee whether you will be rewarded or not, but you will definitely get a bonus. I will apply for the highest bonus for you." "Okay, thank you, Team Leader Lin." Li Mu smiled and did not refuse. He chatted with the members of the mineral exploration team for a while and then stood up to say goodbye. 3pm. The man and the cat returned to the yard, and the clouded leopard also followed them to the yard to play. Li Mu started packing his luggage. Actually, there was nothing to take, just two extra sets of underwear, and some Fritillaria, Black Ganoderma, Matsutake and honey for my uncle and aunt. When I finished cleaning up and came out, the yard was quiet. The cub and yogurt that played with the clouded leopard were all gone. "Lord Yogurt, the cub, and the big cat have all gone to the forest." The Great Sage walked over and said. "You went to the woods?" "Well, I heard from Master Yogurt that there is a kind of flying mouse in the forest. Its meat must be delicious. We should catch it and make some dried mouse for the cub." "." Li Mu silently prayed for the little flying squirrels, hoping that they could hide better. “Are there really flying mice in the forest?” asked the Great Sage curiously.
"There is a species of flying squirrel that glides for a short time and looks like it is flying." "It really does!" "Well, I'm going back to the provincial capital tomorrow, and I'll be gone for seven days this time." "I'll take care of the yard." "Thank you for your hard work." Li Mu rubbed the Monkey King's head and thought for a while, "Let me teach you a skill." "What skill?" "You'll know soon." Li Mu got up and went back to the house, took out the old mobile phone he had replaced before, inserted the spare SIM card into it, and handed it to the Monkey King. "Teach you how to use this to make a video call to me." "Video call?" The Great Sage looked down at the phone in his hand. He often saw Li Mu and Brother Nan playing with their phones, so he was not unfamiliar with it. "Yes, I'll set it up for you first." Li Mu took the phone, first cancelled the password and fingerprint lock, then uninstalled all useless software, leaving only QQ, logged into his own small account, and the friend list only had his main account, and then handed it to the Monkey King. "Press the button on the side of the phone and the screen will light up. Then swipe up to enter the desktop, and then click the little penguin button." Li Mu patiently taught the Monkey King how to operate step by step. "Buzz-" Li Mu took out his cell phone and answered the call. "Look, now the video call is connected and we can see each other." "I see it, I see it!" The Monkey King was a little excited holding the phone. "Well, if anything happens while I'm away, you can call me via video." Li Mu ruffled the Monkey King's fur. "Try a few more times and remember the steps." "Okay!" The Great Sage nodded excitedly. Li Mu plugged in the charger in advance and taught the Monkey King how to charge his mobile phone. Li Mu felt relieved after the Great Sage could operate it independently and skillfully. This way, if anything happens to the animals, they can contact him first. After sitting for a while, Li Mu went back to the house to make osmanthus cakes. After yesterday's attempt, he has mastered the technique and is confident that he can make delicious food this time. So that Brother Nan wouldn't say he wasted her osmanthus flowers. Soon, Yogurt and the cubs came back and chirped in the yard. The Monkey King went into the kitchen to get some rice. Li Mu sighed helplessly. The poor little flying squirrel couldn't escape the cat's claws after all.
