Urban Pirates

Chapter 154
The two chatted as they walked, Tian Mengmeng told Chu Tianluo that she was studying in a university in another province, she is now a sophomore, and usually only comes back during winter and summer vacations, and then she asked about Chu Tianluo's situation.

Chu Tianluo told her that he was traveling to Fenghuang with his friends, and then he wanted to find out where there is a good scenery, so he came here by accident. He felt that he had to ask about Tian Chao's situation, so he asked: "We saw your father earlier, why didn't we see your mother?"

Tian Mengmeng sighed: "My mother passed away due to illness a few years ago..."

"Ah... I'm sorry." Chu Tianluo didn't expect such a situation.

"It's okay." Tian Mengmeng shook her head, but there was some sadness in her eyes.

The two seemed to have nothing to say for a while, Chu Tianluo coughed a few times and then said: "I heard that you have a developer here...?"

"Did you say Uncle Dayou? He is from this village. He went out to work a few years ago. He must have made a fortune and became a real estate developer. He came back recently and brought me a lot of money. Beautiful clothes." A smile slowly appeared on Tian Mengmeng's face.

"It seems that you have a good relationship with him."

"That is." Tian Mengmeng nodded: "My father and him are sworn brothers."

"Huh? Sworn brother?" Chu Tianluo's eyes lit up.

"That's right, not only him, but also the two brothers of the Long family, and Uncle Shan. There are five people including my father, all sworn brothers."

"Your father and the two brothers from the Long family... are also sworn brothers?" Chu Tianluo immediately thought that Tian Chao and those two brothers' reactions to Liu Wudao were so similar, and there seemed to be some secret hidden in it .

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Tian Mengmeng saw that Chu Tianluo seemed to be thinking carefully.

"It's nothing, I'll just ask casually, by the way, who is Uncle Shan you're talking about?" He continued to ask.

"Uncle Shan's name is Ma Dashan. He is the oldest among the sworn brothers, so he is also the eldest brother. However, he went hunting a year ago and had an accident, fell off the cliff and died."

"Oh..." Chu Tianluo nodded thoughtfully.

Suddenly, Tian Mengmeng walked forward quickly, and at the same time shouted to Chu Tianluo: "Hurry up, we have arrived."

The two of them had arrived in the bamboo forest, each bamboo was as thick as a grown man's thigh, and the dense bamboo leaves almost covered the sky, so even it was almost noon, the place was extremely cool, with occasional mountain winds However, with the fragrance of the woods, this feeling makes people feel comfortable.

Suddenly, a group of gray shadows passed by not far away, Chu Tianluo saw that it was a fat hare, Tian Mengmeng also saw it, and then said: "There are many animals here, the most common one is the hare. and pheasants, and occasionally weasels and foxes."

Chu Tianluo looked up into the depths of the bamboo forest: "Will there be any ferocious beasts?"

Tian Mengmeng nodded: "Out of this bamboo forest is the old mountain forest. It's okay around here. Generally, when villagers go hunting, they just go to the edge of the bamboo forest a little closer to the mountain forest. They can hunt wild boars or wild deer there. There are black bears, and it is said that there are clouded leopards in the depths of the forest."

"Clouded leopard?" Chu Tianluo didn't know what kind of animal it was.

"Well, this is the kind of animal we commonly call a leopard. It is the smallest of the big cats, but it is a top-level terrifying killer. It has another name, it is called the little saber-toothed tiger, but... it is really She's so pretty..." Tian Mengmeng looked into the distance, as if recalling memories.

"Have you seen it?" Chu Tianluo suddenly became curious.

Tian Mengmeng nodded: "When I was very young, I ran into the woods for fun and saw a clouded leopard. But I thought it was a cat raised by someone. The body length of the clouded leopard is about one meter. The tail is also nearly one meter long. At that time, what I saw was probably a juvenile clouded leopard, which was a little bigger than the domestic cats in the village. I walked towards it without feeling scared. ...Because its eyes seem to be spiritual, I don't think it will hurt me."

"Sure enough, those who don't know have no fear..." Chu Tianluo smiled and shook his head.

"Its fur is gray with cloud-like black spots on it. It looks beautiful and soft. When I got close to it, I stretched out my hand to touch it, but it turned around and ran away in an instant, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. In the jungle."

Chu Tianluo casually took out a cigarette and lit it, then asked: "Then can I still see it now?"

Tian Mengmeng shook her head regretfully: "It is now a national first-class protected animal. It is said that there are no more than a thousand clouded leopards in China. I think it is very unlikely to see this creature here. ...Perhaps...in those deep mountains and old forests that no one has ever been to, there may be..."

"You like animals very much?" Chu Tianluo stared at her and asked.

Tian Mengmeng smiled and nodded. I have lived in such an environment since I was a child. Although the village has changed a lot compared to when I was young, I still like nature and animals very much. When someone came back from hunting, I would cry like a mess. "

"now what?"

Tian Mengmeng had a smile on her face: "Now... now I understand that hunting is just a way of survival for human beings. As long as they don't overkill, I can accept it, but there are too many indiscriminate hunting. Later, when I went to university, I studied biology, and I thought I would be able to contribute to the protection of those beautiful and precious animals in the future."

"Is there anyone hunting in the village?"

"Yes, but only occasionally. I don't want to rely entirely on hunting for a living. One is because there are fewer and fewer wild animals, and the other is because every household raises poultry by itself, which is easier and safer than hunting."

The two walked forward while chatting, a few meters away suddenly became clear, because there was a cliff there, Chu Tianluo walked forward a few more steps, here is indeed as Tian Mengmeng said, the field of vision is very wide, the summer sun has already reached the top of the head , but the temperature is very cool. Behind the two of them is a lush bamboo forest. In front of them, they can overlook the scene of the village and the mountains in the distance. The breeze keeps blowing, and the bamboo leaves rustle.

Chu Tianluo turned her head to look at Tian Mengmeng beside her, she was slightly closing her eyes, her hands were open, the wind was gently blowing her hair and skirt, she looked like an elf exuding a faint halo under the sun , which fascinated him for a while.

Tian Mengmeng opened her eyes, then looked at Chu Tianluo, and said softly to him: "You know, you look like a person."

Chu Tianluo was taken aback for a moment, and then jokingly said: "I don't look like a human, so why don't I look like an animal?"

"Pfft." Tian Mengmeng laughed, and then said to him, "I mean you look like someone I know."

"Huh? Like who?"

A trace of sadness gradually appeared on Tian Mengmeng's face, and after a while she looked into the distance: "His name is Bai Yu, he is two years older than me, he is a very good and handsome boy, and he treats me very well, we are in college I met... Later, he became my boyfriend..."

"So you already have a boyfriend." Chu Tianluo whispered.

"He is my first love. I thought... we would go on forever." Tian Mengmeng became more and more sad: "But..."

"Could it be that he dumped you?" Chu Tianluo said without thinking.

Unexpectedly, Tian Mengmeng shook her head, her eyes seemed to have lost all luster: "He treats me very well, and I can also feel that he will take care of me for the rest of his life... But, because of a traffic accident, he will always... left me..."

Two lines of crystal tears fell from the corners of Tian Mengmeng's eyes, and Chu Tianluo suddenly felt distressed.

"You really look like him..." Tian Mengmeng looked at Chu Tianluo with tears in her eyes, and then slowly stretched out her hand to touch his cheek.

Chu Tianluo understood very well that it was definitely not because Tian Mengmeng fell in love with him, but looking at her like this, it was obvious that she was in grief, the girl's hand gently stroked his face, Chu Tianluo looked at her With tears in his eyes, his sympathy overflowed for a moment, and he even wanted to hold her in his arms.

Before he could make any movement, Tian Mengmeng approached him actively, then put her hands around his waist, and leaned her head on his chest.

A scent penetrated into Chu Tianluo's nostrils, and the girl's soft body was clinging to him tightly at this moment, Chu Tianluo wondered if something more intimate would happen next, such as kissing a little girl Mouth or something, although it is in the bamboo forest.But the ground here is quite soft. It is covered with a layer of bamboo leaves and a layer of clothes. The environment is also very good. It would be great if you can have a wonderful lingering experience in nature here have a feeling……

Just when Chu Tianluo was thinking about everything, suddenly there was a shrill roar, accompanied by the sound of impact and crickets in the grass. The originally very quiet bamboo forest was disturbed by this sound, and the birds were startled. up.

Needless to say, Chu Tianluo couldn't continue to take advantage of it. The girl in his arms was startled by the sound, and hurriedly raised her head to look in the direction of the sound. Naturally, Chu Tianluo also looked there. .

Tian Mengmeng frowned, left Chu Tianluo's embrace, and walked slowly towards that side. She didn't see anything, and after Chu Tianluo glanced over there with his sensory force, the corners of his mouth twitched, and hurriedly walked over there. Step forward and grab the girl: "Don't go!"

"What's going on?" Tian Mengmeng was taken aback by his reaction again.

Before Chu Tianluo could speak, a huge brown-black monster suddenly jumped out of a dense grass more than ten meters away. He had seen it a long time ago. It was a huge wild boar. It was estimated to be two meters long and rough. Half of the steel needle's pig hair grows on the thick skin of the pig's head, and the mane on the top of the head extends to the tail. There are two upward-rising fangs protruding from each side of the mouth, but one of them is broken. At this moment, The big wild boar was rushing towards Chu Tianluo.

This rush was unstoppable, the wild boar was huge, and it roared with a terrifying aura, which directly frightened Tian Mengmeng until her face turned pale. Chu Tianluo quickly put his arms around her waist, just as the wild boar was about to hit In an instant, he hugged the girl and turned around, barely avoiding the beast, but Tian Mengmeng's dress was scratched by the wild boar's fangs, and with a hiss, most of the girl's snow-white body was exposed. outside.
