"It's over. It's not broken, right?" A brother looked at the big man's thigh with concern. Judging from his uncomfortable appearance, he was afraid that the injury was a bit serious.
"Ah, don't." The remaining young woman curled her lips. She hasn't had much fun here yet, but this is her first stop.
"Come on, come on, help him up and take a look." The people behind him were in a mess, surrounding the big man.
The young woman in front explained to the other end of the selfie stick, "No, I really saw a snake."
"I don't know either. Aren't snakes supposed to hibernate in winter?"
"It was so scary. I pulled open the grass in front of me, and there was a snake coiled underneath. It scared me."
"Then the big guy... wait, eh, the big guy..."
The young woman leaned back as if she was waking up from a dream, looked at him with concern, and asked him how he was injured.
The young woman who had always been independent sighed, touched the brim of her hat, and blew out a breath of warm air.
It's over, this trip is in vain.
The captain is injured, can he still go on the road ahead?
A few people looked up and down the mountain, feeling quite deserted.
In the gently undulating mountains, the greenery recedes and looks a bit desolate.
The mountains in the distance were shrouded in thin mist, making it difficult to see clearly.
At this time, it was past four o'clock in the afternoon, and going down the mountain was also difficult. A group of people might have spent more than an hour.
Of course walking is fast, but the speed is different after carrying so many things.
The young woman lowered her head and fiddled with her cell phone, then raised her brows.
"There is another house ahead. It is shown on the map, but I don't know if there is anyone there."
Several people argued again, and the big man who tried to take two steps raised his hand to vote and insisted on moving forward.
"I'm fine, I'm okay." He moved his thigh, grinning at the sharp pain coming from his base.
Then, the group of people who had been delayed for more than ten minutes resumed their duties and walked further up the path.
After walking for about thirty minutes, the group looked at the house at the end of the path not far away. The smoke rising from it made them full of strength again.
"Hurry up, we're almost there." The big man endured the pain and greeted everyone.
——————
Bang bang bang——
"Is anyone there?"
"Is anyone home?"
The group of people stood outside the adobe courtyard wall and could see in from the low fence.
A big red cat ran on the ground with its ears raised, meowing.
"When a cat meows, the owner must be at home."
"Hey, do you think this cat is looking after the home?"
"I heard that this old cat is psychic..."
After finding their next home, everyone in the group spoke freely and talked about whatever they had to say.
Squeak——
The courtyard door opened wide, revealing a young man wearing an old-fashioned Chinese tunic suit. His youthful appearance made all the young people a little suspicious.
"We are guests from afar, please come in." Lin Hai smiled and stepped out of the way, allowing the group of travelers to walk in one by one.
He seemed not to be surprised by their sudden visit at all, and let them sit on the chairs in the courtyard to rest.
The big red cat lay lazily on the ground, licking its fur.
After getting away from those annoying little guys, Chi Yan suddenly felt that being caught here was a great thing.
For example, you can lick the fur at will without worrying about being curled by some naughty guy.
There is no need to worry about whether a leopard will suddenly fall from the sky and use him as a buffer.
The rule here is just to meow when someone is around.
"Hey, red cat, is this a rainbow cat?" A young woman pushed up her glasses and made a strange sound.
"It's rare but strange. There are people with red hair, so how can there not be cats with red hair?" the gay man who was a solitary student contradicted him.
"It's just that this place really looks like a place where gods live." Regardless of others, some people looked around and looked at the clean little yard.
The air here is fresh, there is a three-story building, you can raise a cat, grow your own vegetables and food, plus wifi and mobile phones, it is really not a happy life that ordinary people can live.
On the other side, seeing how relaxed and contented her companions were, the young woman who had taken out the map before did not dare to express her anger.
She felt an unusual aura here and was a little frightened.
Her eyes fell on the cat, and she quickly shifted her gaze. Although the difference between a cat and a leopard of the same size seemed not big.
But as a graduate student who has studied this major, I can't tell that he is just a little leopard.
That nose, mouth, beard, hair, and legs, it's clear that he is an extremely powerful predator.
She has been a loner who is not very gregarious since she was a child, because she can always hear or see something unusual.
Her parents took her to see a doctor. The doctor said that it was a hallucination caused by overactive brain and asked her to pay more attention to rest.
In addition, it was the late 1990s, and there was not enough emphasis on many things. Some modern subjects were not available at that time.
Over the years, she has become accustomed to seeing 'abnormal' things from time to time.
For example, she now firmly believes that it is a leopard, not a cat.
She didn't dare to say it, and she couldn't say it, as that would break the normalcy she had worked so hard to pretend.
Those unusual eyes would fall on her again.
She has become accustomed to it.
In the kitchen of the house, two young men came in. One of them was a bit thin-skinned and he was hesitating and unable to speak.
Another young man with acne on his face was much more generous. He made the purpose of his group's visit clear and stated that he would pay for the accommodation at the hotel price.
"No problem, come on, help me, these vegetables will be stir-fried and ready for dinner." Lin Hai responded as if he didn't care.
In the evening, no one noticed that a large table of rural home-cooked food was prepared so quickly. They just thought that the vegetables were grown by themselves and harvested quickly.
The keen young woman secretly cast her eyes on the big red cat not far away, watching it chew the food in the bowl on the bench.
"Meow--" The vigilant big cat stared at the young woman with a murderous look, scaring her so much that she screamed on the spot.
"Xiaoyue, what's wrong with you?" A young man next to him, who still had acne on his face, asked casually and stuffed a large piece of cabbage into his mouth.
The cabbage made a sizzling sound when he put it in his mouth. He felt that it was very delicious.
"No, no, that cat just glared at me." The young woman named Xiaoyue said weakly, holding a bowl and picking up the white rice.
As soon as he said this, he was naturally met with laughter.
"Red Flame." Lin Hai scolded lightly, causing the big cat with its fierce light to lower its tail.
Okay, your boss has the final say.
If you hadn't fallen in love with this little human girl, would you have kindly left them to eat?
Chi Yan rolled his eyes, feeling that this master was very hypocritical, nothing like their leopards, who were clean and tidy.
