Chapter 957 General's New Discovery

"How did you find such a magical place? And, it looks like they are planning to develop it?" Ji Ling looked at the forest with some delight, which seemed to be out of place with the surrounding factories, as if he had come to a paradise.

Lu Jingxing smiled mischievously: "Guess?"

Ji Ling looked at him in disbelief: "What do you mean? Is this your territory?"

"It's not fun. You're too smart, kid." Lu Jingxing laughed.

"Did you really develop it?" Ji Ling stared at him with wide eyes: "No, when did this happen? Why didn't I hear you say it?"

This matter was originally discussed between Lu Jingxing and Song Weiming. Song Weiming was a man who got things done, and the two of them hit it off immediately. When he first saw this place, he hadn't figured out how to operate it specifically, so he just shared his few ideas with Song Weiming.

Who would have thought that this guy, who was usually so busy, would come over the next day and then start talking in a rush: "Get to work right away. I'm very optimistic about this place."

Lu Jingxing was still in disbelief at the time. He saw this place when he was jogging with Heihu. At that time, he just thought it was a piece of pure land in the bustling city, but he didn't make good use of it.

His idea at the time was very simple. He saw that there were too many birds with nowhere to go, and if this place was used effectively, it could become a bird paradise.

He also didn't expect that Song Weiming would approve of his approach so much. These days, he occasionally took the time to send his sudden ideas to Song Weiming. He always agreed but didn't say how to do it specifically or when he would enter the market.

Therefore, Lu Jingxing also thought that he had not started to move yet.

However, after seeing this today, I seem to have misunderstood him. Although he is a very busy man, he actually found such a professional person to carry out the task. Moreover, it can be seen that after the two met, he arranged for his expert nephew Song Yixing to do the operation.

He is very satisfied with the current model and it looks like the future will be good.

Seeing him smiling alone, staring blankly at the scene, Ji Ling gently bumped him with her shoulder: "Hey, what are you thinking about? You haven't told me what's going on yet."

"It's like this..." Lu Jingxing put his arm around Ji Ling's shoulders and walked with her while explaining what had happened.

The two walked slowly and slowly returned to the place where they had set up the tent. They heard Xiaobao's humming in the tent: "Mom..."

Lu Chen had already run into the tent one step ahead of them: "Xiaobao, are you awake?"

Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling also walked in immediately, only to see Xiaobao sitting on the air mattress they had set up. He looked at them in a daze, with a pout on his face. He was probably not used to not seeing his mother after waking up, but he immediately laughed at Lu Chen's actions.

Obviously, Lu Chen often took him with him, so he immediately became happy when he saw Lu Chen.

"Xiaobao, come, get up, let's go outside and play together..." Lu Chen was about to pick up Xiaobao.

Xiaobao had woken up from his drowsy state. He opened his arms and babbled, asking Lu Chen to hold him.

The ground outside was not very flat, so Lu Jingxing was worried about letting Lu Chen carry Xiaobao out like that, so he took the lead and picked up Xiaobao: "Put the big mat outside, you guys stay on the mat to play with Xiaobao, Sister Lingzi and I will prepare a barbecue."

"Okay, Lu Xi, come up quickly..." Lu Chen ran out immediately after hearing this and shouted to Lu Xi who was playing in the water by the stream.

After seeing Lu Xi leave the river, Hei Hu and the general ran towards the tent faster than her.

After laying the floor mat, Lu Jingxing put Xiaobao on it. With his older brothers and sisters by his side, the little guy didn't make any noise or trouble and was even better behaved than at home.

Ji Ling took out the barbecue grill and also took out a cart of food that she had just bought from the supermarket. Seeing that Xiaobao had been settled, Lu Jingxing hurried over to help.

Black Tiger and the General also seemed to know how to make Xiaobao happy. They kept jumping around beside him, making Xiaobao laugh from time to time.

Ji Ling recorded this scene as a video and sent it to her aunt, and only then did her aunt feel relieved.

Eating the barbecue he made himself by the river with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, with his younger brothers and sisters and his girlfriend by his side, Lu Jingxing suddenly felt that if life was just like this, it would be pretty good at that moment when he sat down to enjoy the food.

But this tranquility was soon disrupted by an uninvited guest.

The black tiger, which was chewing a bone happily on the side, suddenly stood up, staring blankly at the other side of the forest. The general also stood up.

"What's wrong? Black Tiger?" Lu Jingxing knew that Black Tiger had discovered the problem. Normally, it was quite stable and would not easily react like this.

"Woof...there's a dog barking..." Black Tiger growled.

"Barking of dogs?" Lu Jingxing repeated unconsciously.

"Really? Why didn't I hear it? Xiaochen, Xiaoxi, did you hear it? Besides, it's not surprising even if there were barking sounds in the wilderness." Ji Ling listened carefully for a while, but did not hear the barking sound that Lu Jingxing mentioned.

"I didn't hear it either, but if Hei Hu and the general said there is, then there must be..." He said directly without hesitation.

"Huh? What did they say?" Ji Ling asked somewhat confused.

After hearing what she said, Lu Jingxing finally realized that he was usually very careful, but he didn't expect that after being with Ji Ling, he seemed to let down all his defenses. He was secretly shocked, then scratched his head and said with a smile: "Look, I was so drunk that I couldn't speak clearly. I think their behavior is a bit like the demeanor of a cat or dog who has discovered that they are pregnant..."

"That's right, their reaction was indeed a bit big..." Ji Ling nodded thoughtfully.

Unexpectedly, the two little guys actually sat down slowly.

Lu Jingxing looked at the two in bewilderment: "What's wrong? Is everything alright?"

He said with some amusement that everyone had become interested in the matter, and now these two guys were lying on the ground gnawing on bones again.

Then in less than a minute, the general dropped the bone and rushed towards the woods. No one knew what had happened and continued to look at his back in confusion as before.

When everyone came to their senses, the general had disappeared.

Heihu stood there anxiously, looking in the direction where the general disappeared, and called out to Lu Jingxing twice in a low voice.

"The situation has been discovered. The general has gone to check it out."

Lu Jingxing nodded and replied to it in his heart: "I know, let's see what it says when it comes back, you eat first..."

The black tiger obediently lay down again, gnawing on the bone while looking into the distance, with its ears standing up, always paying attention to the direction where the general disappeared.

Lu Chen and the others looked at their brother excitedly: "What happened to the general? Where did he go?"

Lu Jingxing knew that there was almost no one in this area, so he was not worried that the general would bite anyone or anything. He shook his head: "I don't know, it will come back soon and we will know." Sure enough, before he finished his words, the general rushed towards them from a hundred meters away.

Lu Jingxing immediately stood up and looked at the general with an unhappy face.

The general's pace became slower and slower as he ran forward, and finally he almost crawled forward in a half-squatting position when he arrived in front of Lu Jingxing.

Both it and Black Tiger have been trained, and they cannot rush out without Lu Jingxing's permission. The general probably made this decision because he hadn't been out to play for a long time and he heard the sound twice. Now seeing Lu Jingxing looking at him with a dark face, he suddenly felt very guilty.

It half-crouched and slowly walked to Lu Jingxing, then spit out a kitten from its mouth.

When everyone saw the kitten, they immediately gathered around. Lu Jingxing pointed at the general and warned him, "If you act alone and disobey orders again, I'll show you how I'll deal with you..."

The general rolled over on the ground and woofed softly, "Woof woof, there are two wild dogs over there, biting the cat. One of them is already dead, and it has split into two parts. I only saved this one."

The little fellow thrown in front of Lu Jingxing should be a tabby cat that was born not long ago. Its eyes were not fully open yet. It lay on the ground and meowed softly twice with difficulty before falling silent.

“Brother, brother, look, is it dead…” Lu Xi was so anxious.

Ji Ling took out the bottle in the car and fed the little guy water, but the little guy was too small and couldn't drink at all.

"Brother Lu, I'll go prepare the milk powder. I have to inject it into the cat with a syringe. Otherwise, it might not survive." Ji Ling said to Lu Jingxing who was holding the little tabby cat.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "There is goat milk powder in the box in the trunk. It just so happens that my aunt brought boiled water for Xiaobao to make milk powder. You can use some."

“I know…” Before he finished speaking, Lu Xi immediately ran over and climbed into the car, took the milk powder out of the box, and made some milk powder with Ji Ling.

Lu Jingxing also performed CPR on the little guy, and the little guy seemed to be breathing a little.

Ji Ling took the syringe and gave it a few injections, and the little guy seemed to be in much better spirits.

But Lu Jingxing was still a little worried about the mother cat's situation. Seeing that the little fellow had been rescued, he handed the kitten to Ji Ling and said, "The general and I will go to check the situation. You wait here for me. I'll let Hei Hu guard here."

Ji Ling nodded. With the black tiger around, she was not afraid.

So, Lu Jingxing waved to the general: "General, come here..."

The general was already gnawing on a bone with a guilty conscience, and was frightened by Lu Jingxing's shout. He was stunned and walked towards him cautiously like a child who had done something wrong.

"I'll give you a chance to make a contribution. Take me to the scene..." Lu Jingxing always felt that judging from the size of the little tabby cat, the mother cat didn't seem to be able to give birth to only two. Besides, he was mainly worried about the mother cat. If she disappeared when he came back to save her child, and then went to fight with the two stray dogs that the general mentioned, he didn't know if she would suffer a loss.

When the general heard that he could make a contribution, he immediately wagged his tail, grinned to his heels, and shouted with joy.

Before leaving, Lu Jingxing told Hei Hu: "You stay here and take good care of Xiao Bao and the others. I'll be back soon."

With Black Tiger around, Lu Jingxing is not afraid of anything.

Hei Hu raised his head and proudly accepted the task.

Lu Jingxing touched its head, then arranged the brothers and sisters before following the general.

For the general, it was naturally much slower to be with Lu Jingxing than to be alone with a dog.

But Lu Jingxing's physical fitness was pretty good. He followed the general slowly and jogged all the way to Xiaolin's side.

Seeing that Lu Jingxing could keep up, the general slowly quickened his pace.

Soon the man and the dog came to the place where the general found the kitten: "Woof woof, it's here..."

The general roared.

Lu Jingxing saw from afar that the two dogs had their tails between their legs, looked up at this side, and then ran towards the wall in shame.

In front of me is a long concrete pier. On one side of the pier is grass, and on the other side is mud with some potholes. It hasn't rained in the past few days, so the mud has turned a little white due to the sun.

Faint bloodstains could be seen on the cement pier. It looked like the other kitten the general had mentioned was dismembered by the stray dogs.

There were no big trees in this area, so it was almost impossible to hide. The end was in sight. Lu Jingxing looked carefully but did not see the mother cat.

The general suddenly fell to the ground and started yelling at a wooden board leaning against the concrete pier.

Lu Jingxing bent down suspiciously: "What's wrong, did you rescue them from here?"

"Woof... They are in there..." The general crawled a few times, pretending to climb out of the hole.

"Inside this?" Lu Jingxing said as he stretched out his hand and gently broke the board that had been soaked in rain and was a little moldy. It was pitch black inside and the condition inside could not be seen from the outside.

Not knowing the situation, Lu Jingxing didn't dare to reach in easily. He lay on the ground and listened for a long time.

The general kept circling on the edge of the ground. When he saw Lu Jingxing standing up straight, he immediately called out to him, "There's a meow inside..." He even imitated the sound of a cat.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Yes, I heard it too, but we definitely can't rescue them without any tools. Don't worry, I'll ring the bell to call for help."

"Woof..." The general immediately sat down quietly, tilting his head and looking at Lu Jingxing.

"Come on, let's go over there and cover this up. For a while, those dogs shouldn't come back to hurt them..." Lu Jingxing covered the already somewhat tattered board again, and found a few bricks nearby to lean against it. In this way, even if those stray dogs came back, they wouldn't be able to hurt the cats inside so easily.

After checking to make sure everything was alright, Lu Jingxing dusted off his body and said, "Let's go back first..."

The general immediately ran in the direction of travel.

Lu Jingxing was walking while talking on the phone to Yang Pei.

"Hey, aren't you not going to work today? I just arrived at the store and they said you were taking a day off today?" Yang Pei was very surprised to receive Lu Jingxing's call.

"Yes, I'm resting. Are you busy now? I have something wrong here. Can you come over?" Lu Jingxing said.
