cat and rabbit cage

"Ha chirp! Ha chirp!"

A thin boy wearing glasses, holding a broom in his hand, was only halfway through sweeping the floor and suddenly started sneezing continuously.

The smell came from the window.

The young man walked to the window suspiciously, looking at the moon in the sky through the thick lenses, wondering: It's not spring now, why is the breath of yearning for spring so strong?He was so choked that he couldn't help sneezing violently.

The thin boy was born with poor eyesight, but thanks to the invention of glasses, he was able to see the world clearly.

But seeing too clearly also has disadvantages. He has always had a strong cleanliness obsession, and only now did he realize that the surrounding environment is actually so dirty!The dust that couldn’t be swept away, the fox and cat fur that came in from the outside, the fruit peels and cores that were thrown from upstairs...so he spent most of the day cleaning the house, although he still had Not spotless, but clean enough.

After the boy finished cleaning, he sat in front of the computer screen and surfed the Internet.

It took him a long time to fumble in front of the computer before he finally learned how to surf the Internet!

However, he can only browse the web at present, but he can't type because the pinyin system on the computer keyboard is too difficult and complicated. He can't learn it no matter how he learns it.

Of course, if you want to clean and use the computer to surf the Internet, you must transform into a human form, otherwise, it is a timid hedgehog that can't even carry a broom.

The thin boy first turned on the computer, which was already set to automatically surf the Internet, then clicked on the browser with the mouse, connected to the well-known portal search website, and watched with anticipation what new things would happen today.

At this moment, there was some kind of terrible harsh sound of equipment operating not far away.

What is that sound?

And the place where the voice came from seems to be...

A strong sense of foreboding suddenly struck.

Don't humans even want to let "it" go?

Always timid and shy, he suddenly stood up from the computer and rushed out. He ran to the fifth floor and knocked hard on the door. The red ape who was eating supper quickly answered the door with a banana in his mouth. .

"What's the matter? It's rare to see you come to us by yourself?" Red Ape asked.

"Humans seem to be disposing of 'it'!"

"What did you say?" Red Ape was also alarmed by the seriousness of the situation, "How is it possible? Didn't the city hall say to keep 'it'?"

"I don't know, maybe I just guessed wrong, but I heard the sound of human equipment operating from the place where 'it' was."

They can't clearly tell which kind of machine it is from the sound of the equipment used by humans, but they all know that as long as it is a machine that makes loud, strange, and harsh sounds, it will never do good things .

That kind of terrifying huge machine is used for destruction.

"Then I'll go over and have a look. If something really happened to 'it', I'll come back and tell everyone right away."

No matter what they say, they can't let humans destroy "it"-the last sacred tree in the forest.

I saw the red ape walking back to the room quickly while still eating the banana. Not long after, an old man in a dark red mandarin jacket and holding a walking stick came out of the room.

After the old man finished his last bite of banana, he habitually threw the banana peel on the balcony, then hurriedly pushed away the thin boy and left.

"..."

The boy seemed to say something timidly, but the anxious old man didn't hear it at all.

After a long time, the thin boy said sullenly, "Stop throwing away the fruit peels!"

◇

The sound of the same machine operation woke up Miao Dabai, who had always been a light sleeper.

The man's eyes opened suddenly, and one thing came to his mind: the reason why he came here.

He didn't come to this community by accident.

He came here to find the thousand-year-old sacred tree.

But on the way to here, he suffered a lot and was hit by a bus. After that, his memory became fragmented, and he couldn't even remember who he was.

The man jumped up, and the boy who was sleeping soundly fell out of his arms, hit the back of his head on the stairs, and immediately woke up with a "boom".

"Aw, aw, aw... Dabai! What are you doing!?" The boy, who was originally in a dream, covered the back of his head that was rapidly swollen with one hand, and scolded while baring his teeth.

But the man who was scolded didn't reply, but left him and rushed out.

"Dabai! Where are you going?"

The angry boy had nowhere to vent, so he jumped up and rushed out.

The man rushed all the way to the northernmost edge of the community, and the young man who had been following him was secretly surprised: Isn't that the direction of the Millennium Shenmu?This guy's goal is the Millennium Shenmu?Or did it just happen to run in this direction?

"Dabai! Where are you going?" the boy asked again behind the man, but still got no response.

What the hell is wrong with this guy?

Why do you wake up like a completely changed person?

◇

A worker with a cigarette in his mouth took advantage of the stillness of the night to raise the chainsaw high, and the high-speed sharp sawtooth cut mercilessly on the thick bark of the Shenmu tree, and sawdust flew everywhere.

There are three lumberjacks around the sacred tree. Because the sacred tree is too huge, it will take a lot of time for one person to cut it down. The three people work together to cut down from different directions, and the speed will be much faster.

This is the last sacred tree left over from the forest that was eradicated by humans many years ago. Halfway through the development of the forest, environmental groups jumped out to protest and exposed that the builder had not fully obtained the legal license for development, threatening to prosecute.In the end, the builder and the environmental protection group reluctantly reached an agreement to reserve a part of the forest and use it as a forest park to preserve part of the forest resources.

However, the builders who turned their backs on their promises obtained a legal development license through the collusion between the government and businessmen, and several sacred trees were cut down one after another until the last one remained.The wishful thinking of the builder is to cut down all the old sacred trees first. Without the sacred trees, there is no need to keep the remaining green land. At that time, the land can still be developed or sold. to other builders.

The three chainsaws kept chopping on the huge Shenmu, and the leaves of the branches of the Shenmu fell one after another, as if the trunk couldn't bear such pain and trembled violently, shaking off these leaves.

The sounds of insects that were already rare in the vicinity stopped completely. The insects watched this tragedy in horror, and were so frightened that they were silent.

No one can protect them anymore.

Without this last patron saint in the forest, human footsteps will soon settle in and destroy everything.

There will be no place for them here anymore.

Amidst the terrifying sound of chainsaws and flying sawdust, someone shouted: "Stop..."

"stop!"

A tall man in white rushed over from a distance, excitedly trying to stop one of the workers from continuing to cut logs, and stretched out his hand to snatch the weapon that was cutting the sacred tree.

The worker who was concentrating on cutting down the tree was taken aback, quickly turned off the chainsaw in his hand, took off his goggles, and yelled at the man, "Bastard! Don't you want to live? Do you know it's dangerous? What if I cut you down with a saw? I don’t want to pay you any medical bills! Get away! Don’t hinder our work!”

"You are not allowed to cut down this tree!" Miao Dabai suddenly grabbed the chainsaw.

"Are you sent by those environmental groups?" Seeing this, another worker turned off the chainsaw and came over to ask.

"What environmental protection group?" Miao Dabai looked puzzled, "Anyway, you are not allowed to cut down this tree!"

"Are you from the construction company?" asked the other worker.

Miao Dabai shook his head.

So the three workers looked at each other, and then they held Miao Dabai's arms in a tacit understanding, trying to lift him away from the scene. Worker No. 3 restarted the chainsaw and was ready to continue working.

"Don't chop!" Miao Dabai struggled so anxiously that his eyes were red, the two stout workers almost couldn't support him, and he broke free.

"Don't mess around! Otherwise, we will be impolite!"

Miao Dabai glared at the worker who spoke, and suddenly opened his mouth to bite the man's arm.

"Ah!" The bitten worker let go of Miao Dabai in pain, and then looked at the wound on his arm in shock and anger, blood was gushing out continuously.

"Hey! What are you doing?" the worker yelled.

"Let me go! Don't cut down trees!"

"You're not an environmental group, you're not a government official, and you're not someone sent by a construction company. Why should we listen to you? Besides, this is our job, and we have to get things done if we get paid!"

"I don't care how much you charge! This tree cannot be cut down!"

"What will happen if you cut it down? Are you cursed? Haha!" The worker who was holding Miao Dabai laughed loudly, "We have seen too much of you radical environmentalists! It's just a tree, and you can use it as a pawn after you cut it down." Doesn’t wood make furniture kill two birds with one stone?”

"Don't cut it!" Miao Dabai finally broke free and rushed to the workers who were cutting trees in front of the sacred tree.

Seeing his menacing approach, the worker didn't dare to underestimate him, so he quickly turned off the chainsaw to avoid accidental death later.

Miao Dabai's strength in rushing forward remained undiminished, as if he wanted to knock the worker into the air, but in the end the man just dodged slightly to avoid Miao Dabai's attack, and in the end he bumped into the Shenmu himself. Almost passed out on the spot.

What a stupid attack method.

The three workers gathered together and whispered together, they couldn't figure out Miao Dabai's origin for a while, but this guy seemed to be particularly difficult to deal with.

At this time, a young man in black also rushed over. As soon as he came, he saw that the trunk of the Shenmu had been cut horribly by a chainsaw, and then saw Miao Dabai lying in front of the Shenmu, with a painful expression on his face and his hand He clutched his forehead, as if he had just been beaten.

Miao Miao was furious, and without asking any questions, she rushed to one of the workers, scratching, biting and cursing ferociously: "How dare you hurt Dabai!? You want to cut down the sacred tree? The whole forest is only This sacred tree has been planted! You clearly agreed to protect it, why do human beings keep talking? It’s too much!"

I bite!

I catch!

The unlucky worker who was held by Miao Miao screamed again and again, and another person hurried forward to help, pulling Miao Miao's hair to pull him away. Miao Miao suffered from pain and became even more angry.

These hateful humans!

They took away their homeland, didn't keep their promises, and now they are still hurting Dabai! ?

He will never spare these people!

"Miao Miao! Stop!"

The young man froze for a moment, and at that moment, another worker pulled his hair back forcefully, and he had to fall back in pain, screaming indiscriminately.

"Wow! Why are you acting like a crazy cat? You just scratch and bite when you have nothing to do?" The worker with scratches on his face still had lingering fear.

It was none other than Uncle Yuan who just shouted "Stop" after being notified, and his mother Sang who lived on the second floor of the apartment was by his side.

Mother Sang quickly stepped forward to help Miao Miao, who was teary-eyed, and asked, "Are you okay?"

The boy shook his head, but said, "Dabai was knocked unconscious by them?"

"Dabai? That rabbit?"

The young man nodded, and suddenly thought of another thing, and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will be infected with the "sequelae"? Why are you not afraid now?"

"Ouch! Who knew you would be here? In fact, after driving you out, I also felt a little bit uneasy!" That's why she deliberately stuffed some banknotes turned into leaves into Miao Miao's black suitcase, "and Now the safety of this sacred tree is much more important than whether we will be infected with that strange disease."

Miao Miao nodded, eyes full of gratitude and said: "Thank you for giving me those banknotes, it is very helpful."

Mama Sang said, "Why do you say thank you? We are the only ones left in this forest. We should take care of each other."

"Then can we move back to the apartment?" Miao Miao asked hopefully.

"This..." She glanced at Uncle Yuan who was trying to communicate with the workers with some embarrassment, and finally said, "The area around the apartment has just been disinfected. If you come back, I don't know if you will..."

"But you have already touched me, maybe you have already contracted that disease by now!"

"Miaomiao! Don't scare me!" Mama Sang patted her chest and said anxiously, "I came here to help you out of kindness. Don't hurt me."

"Actually... I think you should be safe." The boy blushed suddenly as he spoke.

"why?"

"As long as you haven't mated with Dabai, you should be fine."

Mom Sang opened her eyes wide and asked, "You guys...please, it's not spring now? What are you in love with?"

"It's not me!" Miao Miao protested loudly, "It's the guy who has been in heat for ten thousand years! He doesn't distinguish between four seasons, he is in heat every day, as long as he has enough food and drink, he can go into battle at any time!"

"So fierce?" Mama-san was very skeptical and said, "That guy is a herbivore!"

"Hey, big beauty, what kind of herbivore and carnivore still mates and mates? Do you want to play with the uncle? I guarantee you will feel comfortable!"

Miao Miao and Mama Sang turned their heads to look at the source of the frivolous words at the same time. At some point, five or six rogue-looking men had appeared around Shenmu. The man who spoke just now was wearing sunglasses and wearing a A gaudy floral shirt and suit pants, and a thick gold necklace hanging around his neck. He was smiling lewdly, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

"The boss already knew that someone might be causing trouble, so please come and mediate!" The man wearing sunglasses smiled at his mother Sang with his teeth showing his chic.

"Are you going to cut down this tree?" Mama Sang asked, narrowing her always charming eyes dangerously.

"No way! If you don't cut down this tree, you can't use this land!" The rogue boss spread his hands helplessly.

"But isn't this sacred tree forbidden to be cut down?" Uncle Yuan hurried over.

He clearly remembered that those environmentalists reached an agreement with the builder or some government officials at that time to keep the sacred tree, and even planned a protected area around the sacred tree.

"Not allowed, but if someone sneaks in and cuts it off, it doesn't count." The hooligan shrugged.

It turned out that the Jianshang Company had colluded with these people long ago, planning to cut down the sacred tree secretly, and then completely denied that it was a good deed done by the Jianshang Company, and shifted the responsibility to the "thief" who cut down the tree; If it is cut down, there is no need to keep this green land, and those environmentalists will naturally not want to spend any effort to fight.

Uncle Yuan immediately understood Jianshang Company's strategy, blushed with anger, pointed at the hooligan boss and cursed: "You shameless human being! How dare you have such black-hearted ideas! We still believe in your previous plan!" Promise! Since this is the case, we don't have to be polite to you!"

"Hey! The old man is still so impolite when he speaks? Old man, be careful." The hooligan boss pushed old man Yuan, the smile disappeared, and said, "I respect the old and respect the virtuous, and if you are sensible, get out of here quickly. , if you get injured then, don’t blame us!”

"Mom-san!" Uncle Yuan shouted.

The hooligan boss glanced at the only woman present, and was suddenly taken aback.

I don't know if it's his own illusion... Why did he feel that this woman's nose suddenly became sharp?

"Stupid human beings, you will receive retribution!" The beautiful woman suddenly raised her hands high, and then a bright street light came from a distance, and then it was dark all around, and a gust of wind blew, making people almost unable to open their eyes .

Then there was a sound of "啪啦啦啦", and many leaves fell from the sky.

No, not leaves.

It is a ghost paper.

The workers and hooligans were beaten all over their heads and faces, and they all turned pale with fright. They, who have always been superstitious, felt terrified in their hearts, wondering if they had provoked any "good brothers"?

"Boss, Boss...I'm so scared, can I leave?" the rogue boss's subordinate asked with a trembling voice.

"Damn! Are you afraid of such a small thing? Are you still a man?"

"But why did it get dark all of a sudden?"

"Because the street lamp is broken! Idiot!"

"Then these ghost papers..."

"Maybe the truck carrying the ghost paper had an accident, and these papers flew over! Bah! Don't think about it!"

But before the rogue boss finished speaking, the sky became darker again, and in the end he could hardly see his fingers. He had to take off the sunglasses he needed to use to make his vision clearer; but as soon as he took off the sunglasses, his knees were so scared Soft, almost kneeling on the ground on the spot.

It was pitch black and extremely quiet.

He seemed to be trapped in a dark, confined space.

"...Hey! What's going on here? Don't be like this when you're joking, right?" He was still trying to calm himself down, thinking that all this was just an illusion.

"...Hey! Is there anyone here?"

silence.

"...Help, help! Has anyone heard? Where is this? Help—" He suddenly stopped.

Because he heard voices.

The sound of "rustling", as if something was dragging rapidly on the ground, and the sound was getting louder, coming towards him!

The hooligan boss's legs were weak, he couldn't run even if he wanted to, and he stood where he was, sweating profusely.

Then he smelled a stench, his stomach turned, and he suddenly felt nauseous.

Oh my god... is he bewitched?What happened to the others?

I heard that this sacred tree is thousands of years old, no wonder it is a bit evil.

The cold sweat on his forehead fell into his eyes, but he didn't even dare to blink, and then...

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Who is screaming?

It took two seconds for the hooligan to realize that the miserable cry came from his own mouth. He looked in horror at the pair of huge amber pupils that appeared in the darkness, and the erect pupils exuded a strong demonic aura, and then The monster in the darkness opened its mouth, and Mori's huge white teeth were exposed, and it was about to swallow him in one gulp——

"Help! Help, help! Monster! Monster! There is a ghost! This place is haunted!"

He turned around and ran, but within a few steps, he tripped over something soft under his feet. He got up in embarrassment, but his tentacles were some kind of soft strip-shaped objects that were constantly moving rapidly. Thought - it's a snake! ?

Before he could open his mouth to call for help, the giant snake that could not see clearly in the dark had already wrapped him up at lightning speed, and it kept tightening. The gangster only felt that his bones were squeezed. Make a noise, if he presses on tighter, his whole body bones will burst and he will die!This is horrible!

The hooligan suddenly rolled his eyes, then foamed at the mouth, and fainted from fright.

The green snake wrapped around him opened its mouth wide, and was about to have a big meal when it suddenly heard the red ape's voice: "You can't eat people."

The green snake's big mouth was still open, it paused for a moment, intending to ignore the red ape's warning.

Please, what are these hateful humans doing in this world?

It didn't directly eat this guy raw, it was considered a great favor to him!

"Stupid snake! If you eat him, you will be killed and it will be very troublesome!"

"It's just that there are fewer people, it's okay." The greedy green snake was still unwilling to give up.

"No, the social system of human beings is too complicated. If there is one person missing, his relatives or friends will come to find him, and he will send uniformed police officers to investigate. We don't even have identity documents in the human world. What should we do if we find out? We have nowhere else to go except here!"

Hearing what the red ape said, the green snake finally closed its mouth reluctantly.

hateful!The fresh food that arrived just flew away.

The green snake stuck out its tongue, let go of its body, and led the white snake back quickly.

Suddenly the street lights came on again, and everything returned to normal.

I saw the hooligan boss lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth, his legs twitching from time to time, his men huddled together like frightened chickens, and the other three lumberjacks were also frightened. Blue, trembling mouth, unable to speak a word.

They all think that this sacred tree is very evil!

There must be some ghosts or gods attached to this sacred tree, and they never dared to play tricks on this tree again.

Seeing the frightened look of these humans, Old Man Yuan chased after the victory, saying: "This sacred tree is the legendary guardian spirit of the forest. If you cut it down, be careful not to cause trouble! Someone tried to cut down the tree secretly before, but it didn't work. They said they had run into an evil spirit, but they couldn’t eat for three days and three nights when they went back, and died on the fourth day.”

In fact, Uncle Yuan just watched too many human country legends, and just adapted them to talk about them casually, but the workers and hooligans who had just "run into the evil" were stunned and believed it immediately.

"But... we have already collected the money..." The workers and hooligans looked embarrassed.

If you take the money, you have to do things well, and the money paid by the construction company is not too small!It's really hard to give it back, and besides, some people have already spent all the money as soon as they get it, so where do they go to get the money now?

Hearing the word "money", Mama-san hurriedly walked up to the crowd, took out stacks of banknotes from her bosom, and stuffed them into the hands of those humans whose eyes were fixed on the money.

"You guys take these and use them! Don't come to cut down the tree. Be careful that if you don't cut down the tree, your life will be gone. This sacred tree is very spiritual. Whoever treats it well and whoever treats it badly , it knows all about it. Those who treat it badly will receive retribution, and those who treat it kindly will respond to their requests!"

These words were actually learned from those newspapers, and Mama-san didn't know if this sacred tree was really so effective, but she herself could use small tricks on these humans to convince them that there was such a thing.

But what is certain is that these animals that originally lived in the forest tried their best to keep this sacred tree.

Not only because it is the last sacred tree, but also because it is the incarnation of the forest in the eyes of the animals, as if as long as the sacred tree can continue to exist, the forest has hope of recovery.

They know that there are good and bad humans, bad humans cut down forests, and good humans want to restore forests.

But they are still skeptical of humans. If given the chance, they would rather guard the last remaining symbol of their homeland—the sacred tree that has always been with them.

The workers and hooligans held a large pile of money in their hands, and were still hesitant to accept it. When everyone looked at each other, Mama Sang said with a smile on her face: "Once you take the money, you can't get it back! Otherwise, be careful of those Money will also become ghost paper." After she finished speaking, she laughed coquettishly.

Those human beings were terrified when they heard it, and it seemed that they didn't get the money, and they didn't get it.

At this moment, a human voice came from not far away. It turned out that the thin boy hiding in the apartment called the Environmental Protection Bureau, and an environmental protection officer rushed over immediately, bringing two police officers with him.

When the hooligans saw the police coming, of course they ran away first.

The loggers, who were warned not to be discovered by environmental groups or officials of the Environmental Protection Bureau, had no choice but to sneak away with the chainsaw first.

Everyone fled and hid, mother Sang wanted to pull the boy away together, but the boy worriedly guarded the side of the man who passed out in front of the Shenshu, and refused to leave.

"Miao Miao, let's go, or we will have to explain to those humans again."

"But Dabai passed out!"

"It's not easy." Mom Sang clapped her hands, and a bucket full of water appeared in her hands. She picked up the bucket and poured it on Miao Dabai's head.

After being splashed with cold water, Miao Dabai really woke up immediately.

"Dabai! Are you okay?" the boy asked with concern.

But the man just showed blank eyes, and asked the boy in an unfamiliar tone: "Who are you?"
