Chapter 605: Unexpected Gains

"I can call a few helpers for you..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"That's easy..." The contractor laughed.

Lu Jingxing returned to the store with a smile. The girl the contractor mentioned was the female employee who had been working in the backyard. She was a part-time employee and was responsible for the backyard during work.

Seeing Lu Jingxing coming in, she came over excitedly with a small cage in her hand: "Brother Lu, look, the master gave it to me this morning."

Lu Jingxing was about to ask, but when he saw her bring it over, he smiled and said: "Okay, the master just told me to check what this little guy eats and see if we have it in our store. Feed it a little. I guess there is still some. I'll ask someone to find it and lock it up together."

The girl giggled: "I checked it out. Moles are insectivorous animals. They like to eat beetles and their larvae, earthworms and other underground insects. They also eat the roots, tubers, rhizomes, surface stems, leaves and root barks of crops and weeds. Although their names contain "rat", they are not actually rodents."

"You have a good memory. That's easy. Just feed it some vegetable leaves or something. If there are still some, we will send them to the back mountain together. If there are none, it's even better." Lu Jingxing replied with a smile, and then walked towards Ba Mao.

The girl carried the cage to the hall. There were vegetables in the kitchen, so she could just put some in there. But she still had to protect the little guy, or he would become a meal for Ba Mao and his friends.

Ba Mao finished the canned food and leaned against the wall, basking in the sun and licking his fur lazily. He looked so comfortable.

Lu Jingxing squatted down in front of him: "Hey, stop basking. I'll give you a small task. You call Xiao Zuanfeng and Jia Ziyin to go to the backyard to find a little mole..."

"Meow... little mole..." Ba Mao remembered that little guy, just like the mouse, Lu Jingxing asked him to let it go last time.

It tilted its head and looked at Lu Jingxing: "Exchange with cans?"

Lu Jingxing chuckled: "Okay, I'll exchange with as many cans as I catch..."

Bamao jumped up and ran to Xiao Zuanfeng and Jiaziyin, and turned around them twice. Lu Jingxing watched from a distance. He didn't know what Bamao said to them, but the three cats reached an agreement and trotted towards Lu Jingxing.

"Meow... It's agreed, let's go..." Bamao led the way.

Jiaziyin, who hadn't seen Lu Jingxing for two days, rubbed against Lu Jingxing first, and saw that Bamao and Xiao Zuanfeng had already reached the back door, and then ran quickly to follow them.

Lu Jingxing also followed with a smile.

Xiao Anzi, who was bending over to look for a tunnel in the backyard, saw Lu Jingxing coming over, but didn't see the helper he mentioned. He thought that he was not available, so he said, "It's okay, Mr. Lu, if there is no helper, I will be slower, anyway, it's no problem to search it once."

Lu Jingxing smiled and said, "Didn't I bring it with me?"

Xiao Anzi stood up and looked at the three cats lined up in front of Lu Jingxing. His eyes widened: "Ah, you mean the helpers you are talking about?"

"Yes, they are good at finding and catching, don't underestimate them..." Lu Jingxing laughed.

"I believe this, but how did you convince them, that is, how did they know what we are looking for?" Xiao Anzi couldn't understand it.

"Don't worry about this, Ba Mao, Xiao Zuan Feng, Jia Zi Yin, take action..." Lu Jingxing gave an order to Xiao Sanzi, and the three little guys clearly divided the work and swept in three directions.

Looking at the three obedient cats, the masters stopped their work and looked over with curiosity.

Ba Mao, who was walking in the inner part, was the first to react. He stood up and shouted to Lu Jingxing: "Meow... I found it..."

It really did. Lu Jingxing and Xiao Anzi walked over quickly.

The two walked to Ba Mao's side. Ba Mao only looked at Lu Jingxing and did not catch the little mole. Lu Jingxing felt a little strange. This was not like Ba Mao's style.

"Where is it?" Lu Jingxing looked in front of Ba Mao. The whole area was full of short grass. He took a quick look: "Where is it? There is none. Did it dig a hole?" He asked Ba Mao while speaking.

Ba Mao took two steps forward: "Meow... Look..." He touched the back of a small grass with one front paw.

Lu Jingxing pressed the grass down: "Ah, is this a hedgehog?"

A little hedgehog huddled in a ball with thorns all over his body.

No wonder Ba Mao refused to reach out. This little guy is quite smart.

It's strange. Why is there a hedgehog in this place?

Everyone caught one when they saw it. The young masters ran over immediately. When they saw it was a hedgehog, everyone became more excited: "This is a hedgehog. I haven't seen it yet."

A master took out a new canvas glove from his pocket and handed it to Lu Jingxing: "Mr. Lu, put on the gloves and catch it..."

Lu Jingxing hurriedly took it with a smile: "Thank you, I said I had to go in and get the gloves. This little guy has hard thorns all over his body. It's really hard to catch it."

It's no problem to catch it with canvas gloves. Lu Jingxing caught the little guy in his hand, and Ba Mao hugged his feet: "Meow... a box of cans..."

Lu Jingxing smiled and replied to it: "Go on, I'll remember a box for you..."

Bamao immediately loosened his claws and ignored the people around him, continuing his sweep.

Lu Jingxing showed everyone, then caught the little hedgehog and went to the backyard.

The customers and employees in the backyard also gathered around: "This should be wild, it looks different from the one I keep at home."

Lu Jingxing smiled and said, "I just caught it in the backyard. It should be wild, but I don't know where it came from. I've never seen it before." This is really a pleasant surprise. I never thought there would be so many small animals in the backyard.

Xiao Sun immediately brought a cage when he heard the noise, and Lu Jingxing put the little hedgehog into the cage.

After the cage was closed, the little guy opened his small black and round eyes and looked at the people watching him. He curled himself into a small ball and slowly crawled two steps. He felt that it was a small iron cage, so he didn't struggle and just lay quietly.

"Mr. Lu, come quickly, I caught another one..." Just as Lu Jingxing put it down, Xiao Anzi from the backyard shouted loudly.

Lu Jingxing looked at his gloves and said to Xiao Sun, "Go get two more cages inside. I wonder if there are any more..."

After that, he walked quickly to the backyard again.

Some of the customers who were watching the cats in the backyard also followed Lu Jingxing to the backyard.

Anyway, they came to see the small animals. With such a novelty, everyone was a little curious.

This time, it was Xiao Anzi who was walking behind Ba Mao. Ba Mao stopped and looked at the ball in front of him warily. Xiao Anzi saw it at a glance. It was not far from the previous one. It looked bigger than the previous one, and its hair was thicker.

Xiao Anzi had never caught this thing before, and didn't know how heavy it was, so he had to call Lu Jingxing over.

Before Lu Jingxing could take off his gloves, he hurried over and caught this one.

Customers also gathered around: "Hey, are they a couple with that one? Look again to see if there are any cubs..."

Everyone laughed. Could this thing also be a nest?

Lu Jingxing explained: "These two are definitely not husband and wife, at most they should be mother and son, because hedgehogs live alone, and husbands will not help take care of children. This one is bigger than the one just now, it should be the mother, and the one just now is probably the child."

"Wow, is that so?"

Lu Jingxing opened his heart and said: "Little hedgehog... are you the mother of the hedgehog?"

This hedgehog is braver than the one just now, and looked at Lu Jingxing "Hiss, where are my babies?"

"Don't be afraid, I caught the babies, how many babies do you have?" It's easier to deal with it if you know the number.

The little guy's eyes were scattered "Chiji, I only have one baby..."

Just one, which means that there were more than one babies born originally, but now is not the time to entangle this.

"Don't be afraid, we will get you together..." Lu Jingxing locked the little guy and the one he just caught in a larger cage.

When the little guy saw the cub, he immediately put away his thorns, and the two touched each other and cried "Chiji".

Looking at the little guy's appearance and calculating the time, this little guy is probably about to be separated from his mother.

Just after putting the little hedgehog away, Jia Ziyin bit a little mole and ran in quickly.

Seeing Lu Jingxing, she was very excited and ran to him and mumbled "Meow...mouse..."

Lu Jingxing saw clearly that it was not a mouse, but a little mole.

He took the hand under Jia Ziyin with a canvas glove: "Come on, Jia Ziyin, let go...I caught it."

Jia Ziyin immediately opened her mouth wide and shouted loudly: "Meow", and the little guy fell out of her mouth.

Lu Jingxing caught it steadily.

He touched Jia Ziyin's head with his other hand to show encouragement.

Soon Xiao Zuanfeng also brought one, and Lu Jingxing used the same method to rescue the little mole from the little guy's mouth.

They were very fast and soon returned to the ground.

When they saw the entrance to the tunnel, they would squat first, and they could feel whether there was a little mole inside by their intuition.

Generally, they only need to wait for a short while. If they are not there, they will give up and move forward.

An hour later, the three cats returned to the yard obediently.

They found Lu Jingxing in the office.

Ba Mao spoke first: "Meow... No more..."

Lu Jingxing smiled and said: "Are you sure there is no more?"

Jia Ziyin and Xiao Zuanfeng both jumped onto the desk: "Meow... No more..."

In fact, they didn't need to look for them. The ones they could find were all burrowed on the surface. They burrowed deep, and even cement couldn't hurt them. But the two hedgehogs were unexpected gains.

"Okay, then one meow and one box of cans..." Lu Jingxing smiled and touched the few on the table.

"One meow and one box?" Xiao Zuanfeng looked a little surprised, and suddenly he looked at Ba Mao fiercely: "Meow... Fufu... You want to embezzle, right..."

Jia Ziyin also stood up, and the two looked at Ba Mao angrily...

"Hey, wait, what's going on..." Lu Jingxing didn't understand the situation. Wasn't he quite happy just now?

"Meow... This guy said he found a half box..." said Jiaziyin, dragging his long clip.

Lu Jingxing looked at Ba Mao with amusement. He didn't expect that he would ask him to notify and he wanted to make a profit. Ba Mao looked at Lu Jingxing with a guilty conscience: "Meow..." He was not afraid of one-on-one, but he was not sure of one-on-two.
