"Crack!"

  The camera shutter sounded.

  A ladybug that was supposed to spend the winter in crevices and tree holes was standing on a leaf and pulled the leaf-eating aphids into its mouth.

  The team leader looked at the dark sky and the lush surroundings, and said solemnly: "After collecting the samples, go down the mountain. First, use the equipment of the biology laboratory of Sheeran University to do the relevant experiments."

  "Team leader, come and see here." Someone shouted.

  The middle-aged man hurriedly walked over, only to see a series of trees at the bottom, the bark had been ripped off by some creatures, and there were sharp scratches.

  He carefully analyzed and found that the traces were all taken out at one time, but the depth was several centimeters, as if left by some beast, but the height was only forty centimeters.

  This made the middle-aged man's heart immediately lift.

  Looking around again, I found that many of the tender grasses had been eaten to only the rhizomes, which looked bare.

  "This guy seems to eat bark and tender grass." The person who spoke earlier pointed to the bark debris on the ground and said, "As far as I know, there should be no bark eaters who can leave such deep scratches? "

  The middle-aged man nodded: "Black bears can leave such deep scratches, but they mainly eat buds, leaves, stems, roots, fruits, and some meat, not bark."

  Shaking his head, he said cautiously: "In any case, it is definitely a very lethal beast, and this is its foraging area, we can't stay any longer, hurry up."

  So, the group hurriedly packed up their equipment and walked back and forth.

  The forest returned to silence, and the sky became darker.

  Soon after, a rustling sound came.

  Under a certain tall tree, the fallen leaves between the roots were pushed away, a few stones appeared and scattered, and then, a round blue pom-pom with a short tail and stained with soil was squeezed out of its body. cave.

  It stood slowly, revealing its white abdomen, several tentacles swaying in the wind, and a pair of claws clinging to its furry belly.

  Its height is about [-] centimeters, but it is so fat that it has no neck, and its fur is extremely smooth.

  It just grabbed the bark and grabbed a large piece, as easily as pulling a layer of soft cloth.

  After chewing it a few times in his mouth, some kind of deep-rooted taste still haunts it, making the bark in his mouth tasteless for a while.

  It looked down the mountain, swayed its head from left to right, and finally "¨'Pata" dropped the bark and landed on all fours, but immediately found that its front paws couldn't reach the ground at all due to the support of its round belly.

  So, it could only stand up again, quickly move its two short legs, and run down the mountain at a speed beyond its size.

  ……

  In a warm bedroom.

  The lamp on the desk glowed a soft white light.

  The little girl who said that Oria had a little mouse in her pocket was sitting in front of the desk at this time, her short legs couldn't even reach the ground, dangling in the air.

  On the table, the Mizige workbook was opened, and one page was still half empty.

  The sound of her parents watching a movie came faintly from the crack of the door. She looked out the window at the city in the night, the pencil in her hand had solidified, and her mind was filled with the sudden blue pom-pom that day.

  "Xiao Xi, have you finished your homework?"

  The mother's voice came suddenly.

  Xiaoxi was shocked, the pen fell to the ground, and quickly replied, "Mom, I'll finish writing it right away."

  At the age of five, she still has a soft milky voice. Although she has not yet reached the age of elementary school, she has already studied the first grade content under the guidance of her parents.

  Holding the table with her hands, she pushed herself and the stool back. Xiaoxi jumped off the stool and climbed to the bottom of the table to pick up the pencil, only to find that the tip of the pen had been broken.

  As soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy, her heartbeat "thumped" faster, and she hurriedly pulled the table to stabilize herself.

  This situation appeared two months ago, and the examination said it was aplastic anemia, but the medicine did not improve much.

  When the dizziness gradually subsided, the vision became clear again, and a round figure came into view outside the window.

  Xiaoxi's eyes slowly widened, her mouth opened slightly, her face full of joy, she stared blankly for a while, then suddenly came back to her senses, and quickly opened the drawer and took out the chocolate inside.

  Seeing this, the chubby guy outside the window narrowed his pupils, and the whites of his eyes gradually expanded, staring straight at the food in her hand.

  Xiaoxi hurriedly tore off the package, then climbed onto the table, opened the glass window, and handed out the chocolate through the window railing: "You must be hungry, here it is."

  The round creature was clamped with two sharp claws, threw it into its mouth, chewed, and soon stopped moving, and then the round eyes looked over again.

  "It doesn't matter, I still have it, and I will keep it for you."

  Xiaoxi took out more chocolates and handed them over, and then stared blankly at this round and cute creature. In the background of the lonely lights in the distance, she somehow came to the window sill on the eighth floor and ate the food she gave. .

  What a dream!

  The lights turned into twinkling stars in her eyes.

  "You're a big chinchilla, right?"

  .......

Chapter 249

  "Crack..."

  The big blue-and-white pom-pom was still eating chocolate on its own, and did not respond to the name "Big Totoro".

  Xiaoxi pulled out a movie poster from a book stacked on the table.

  After unfolding, in the pouring night rain, a big chinchilla with a lotus leaf and a little girl with an umbrella carrying her sister were standing by the old bus stop.

  "Look! You two look alike."

  Xiaoxi turned over the movie poster and showed it to the chubby guy outside the window.

  The latter was immediately stunned, and the round eyes widened a little.

  Xiaoxi's eyes gradually became curved, and she shouted with great joy: "You are the big chinchilla!"

  Totoro outside the window stared blankly at the poster, the guy who looked very similar to himself, also wanted to raise his hand to touch his head to see if there were lotus leaves.

  But unfortunately, its body is too round and its hands are too short to even touch its ears, let alone its head.

  "Xixi, what are you talking about Totoro?" The mother's voice sounded outside the door, and the bedroom door was pushed open immediately after the "click" machine spring twisted.

  Xiaoxi was startled and turned around quickly, only to see her mother standing in the light shining in the living room.

  Her mother looked around and saw that the window opposite the desk was open, the window sill was empty, and a little cold wind was blowing from outside.

  "Mom, it's clean and free of bugs." Xiaoxi explained quickly.

  The mother was a little puzzled when she heard the words: "What are you talking about? Why do you open the window to blow in the cold air on such a cold day? Do you want to catch a cold?"

  Xiaoxi looked back suspiciously, and saw that the big chinchilla had long since disappeared outside the window, so she couldn't help muttering in a low voice, "It's gone..."

  The mother stepped forward and closed the window, and found that the desk was full of torn chocolate bags, so she couldn't help touching the little girl's cheek: "Xiao Xi, you can't eat so much chocolate at one time, your little belly will not be able to bear it, otherwise in the future I won't buy it for you."

  "Okay, it's time to wash up and sleep."

  "Well." Xiaoxi jumped off the stool and followed her mother out.

  When she arrived at the door, she glanced at the night outside the window again, and saw that there was still no Chinchilla, so she completely left the bedroom.

  The night wind swept over the city, and the evergreen plants on the streets stooped in the wind.

  The round figure flashed by in the dark corner.

  But after a while, the vague figure was against the wall again, slowly emerging from the darkness, and most of the white round belly was exposed in the sloping light of the street lamp.

  It tilted its head and glanced at the clothing store that was about to close.

  I saw a bunch of potted plants on the outermost side of the window, close to the glass. One of the pots was flourishing, dozens of flowers were crowded together, the color was orange-red, and the leaves were very similar to lotus leaves, but much smaller.

  Its eyes widened slightly.

  In the warm-colored clothing store, the female clerk at the counter zipped the bag, walked out the door, and pulled down the shutter door with a hook.

  But as soon as I pulled it halfway, I heard a muffled "bang" behind me.

  She was startled, and when she looked back, she saw that the garbage bin on the side of the road seemed to have been hit by something, and was swaying slightly.

  At this moment, there seemed to be a gust of wind passing by her feet, and the female clerk hurriedly looked down, but there was nothing, except that the leaves of the pot of nasturtium in the window were shaking.

  She stayed for a moment, then shuddered, quickly pulled the door down, locked it and left.

  The city lights in the distance are getting weaker and weaker, and the round figure with a leaf on its head is happily jumping on one leg alternately, gradually disappearing into the dark mountains.

  ……

  The next morning.

  Xiaoxi took her mother's hand and walked on the way to the kindergarten.

  The continuous Jinyun Mountain Reserve on the right is almost the same every day. In the cold wind, it has become more green than yesterday, as if spring has come.

  And the weeds on the roadside are also very lush.

  "Dangdangdang..."

  There was the sound of a hammer hitting metal.

  Several staff members placed new signs outside the protected area.

  News mother turned around and saw the words "There are beasts inside, no entry and exit" written on it, and some people were taking out some cameras disguised as small tree stumps from their cars and carrying them to the mountains.

  "There are still beasts in this place in Jinyun Mountain? Didn't they disappear decades ago?" Xiaoxi's mother wondered.

  "It is estimated that when the country pressed the pause button, there were no people everywhere, and they came from other places. I remember that during that time, there were also news that wild boars and pheasants on the mountain came to the city to have fun. already."

  Some of the other people standing there watching rationally guessed.

  "I guess so. But this place is not far from the residents. It's too dangerous. The official has so many cameras. Do they plan to find it and hand it over to other places to code?" Others said.

  "Probably, you can't just let it go, or it's unreasonable." Someone echoed.

  Xiaoxi's mother shook her head and said to Xiaoxi: "It seems that before the authorities catch the beast, it's not very safe here, we can only take a detour."

  "Yeah." Xiaoxi nodded.

  Meanwhile, in Sheeran University's biological laboratory.

  The Jinyunshan investigation team just got the sample test results.

  The team leader glanced at the densely packed table and data on the report sheet, his eyebrows wrinkled a little, and finally put down the document and looked at his colleagues around him and said:
