Chapter 385 Sensing Approaching Danger

Around 5 a.m., all was quiet, the sky was turning a pale white, and dew condensed into pearls on the tips of the grass.

Jiang Yuan opened the back door and got in the car. "Good morning."

"Good morning, Jiang Yuan," Meng Xiaokai greeted her from the driver's seat.

Xiao Xu handed her a breakfast from the passenger seat, saying, "Yuan Yuan, this is breakfast I bought downstairs from my apartment. Just have it."

“Okay.” Jiang Yuan accepted the food without hesitation, and listened to Xiao Xu explain the details of the emergency mission while eating.

“A citizen found a cobra while having a late-night snack at a barbecue stall, and we suspect it is the same cobra that bit Ye Shengqi.”

"However, the person who reported the incident said that the cobra did not attack the customer. The cobra escaped after being discovered, but the person who reported the incident was worried that other citizens might be accidentally injured by the cobra."

After finishing the last sip of soy milk, Jiang Yuan said softly, "So, we don't know the exact location of the cobra right now?"

“Yes,” Xiao Xu said, “we only know the general area right now.”

Jiang Yuan nodded. "There are indeed many unknown dangers."

“Yes,” Meng Xiaokai sighed, “What if that cobra bites someone again…”

As the car drove along, the sky gradually brightened, and the first rays of morning sunlight slowly pierced through the clouds and shone on the earth. Occasionally, pedestrians could be seen on both sides of the street.

Police cars were parked on the side of the street. Across the green belt was a whole row of late-night food stalls, and the staff were cleaning tables, chairs and storefronts.

Si Heng, He Lewei, and Chen Ziqi were taking statements from eyewitnesses at the entrance of one of the barbecue restaurants.

"I was just going to call my wife when I suddenly felt something moving in the bushes. I thought it was a mouse or a cat, but when I got closer, I found it was a cobra. I was terrified and immediately ran back to the barbecue stand to tell the others about it."

"When the shop owner heard there was a cobra, he was afraid it would run into his shop, so he went to find a stick. When we went to look for it, there was no trace of the cobra in the green belt."

"Everyone says I'm seeing things, but I'm sure I'm not mistaken; it was a cobra."

"The others went back to drink, but I just couldn't believe I'd seen it wrong, so I grabbed a stick and went to search the green belt, but I couldn't find it..."

"Officers, I saw it very clearly, it was a cobra. It had its head upright and even stared at me for a few seconds!"

Chen Ziqi nodded seriously, "Okay, we understand, thank you for calling the police in time."

The police are taking this matter very seriously, given that the snake is highly venomous and that some citizens have already died from its bites.

Si Heng pondered for a moment, then took out his phone and dialed Lou Qinglin's number to report.

Jiang Yuan looked around but didn't see any trace of animals nearby, not even a single bird on the tree trunk.

When animals sense danger approaching, their first reaction is to flee and hide.

Jiang Yuan called out, "I'm just taking a walk around here."

"I'll go with you." Xiao Xu immediately ran to her side.

The person who reported the incident looked at Jiang Yuan's figure and felt that she looked familiar. "That girl looks so familiar... Is she a celebrity?"

After Jiang Yuan walked away, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked in surprise, "Isn't that a popular online streamer who can understand animal speech?"

No one answered his question.

Jiang Yuan arrived at a shop selling grilled fish, where a yellow country dog ​​was tied up at the door.

The shop was being cleaned. She walked up to the country dog ​​and greeted it from a few steps away, "Hello."

The country dog ​​barked at her in a friendly manner, saying, "Hello."

Jiang Yuan slightly raised the corners of her lips and took another step closer. "My name is Yuan Yuan. What's yours?"

They call me Shunli (meaning "smooth sailing").

"Shunli, a very nice-sounding name."

Shunli was very polite: "Thank you for the compliment!"

Jiang Yuan then closed the distance between them again, "Shunli, can I ask you a question?"

"What's the problem?" Shunli tilted his head in confusion.

Jiang Yuan: "Did you sense any dangerous animals around midnight?" "Yes." Shunli nodded vigorously. "I sensed it. It was a very dangerous smell. I was worried I would die, but thankfully I was alright in the end."

"Did you see what it was?"

"It's a very long one, but I don't know what it is."

Did you see which way it went?

"No." Shunli shook his head. "I don't dare to look."

I was afraid that if we made eye contact, I would be targeted.

"Thank you." Jiang Yuan patted the dog's head. "I'm leaving now, goodbye."

"Goodbye." He watched her leave smoothly.

Jiang Yuan and Xiao Xu walked for a while longer and saw two little swallows perched on a tree.

"Hello." Jiang Yuan waved to them.

Sensing her kindness, two little swallows fluttered their wings and circled in front of her, saying, "Hello."

Jiang Yuan looked up at them and smiled slightly: "Can I ask you a question?"

"can!"

"You say it."

Jiang Yuan: "Did you know that a snake appeared here in the middle of the night?"

"I know," said Little Swallow. "We were all scared away."

"Has anyone seen where that snake went?"

“Yes,” another swallow replied. “We have a very brave friend who has been hiding nearby, spying on the snake.”

“It is indeed very brave. Could you please find it and bring it to me?” Jiang Yuan pleaded. “I can offer food as a token of my gratitude.”

The two little swallows looked at each other, huddled together to discuss something, and then nodded to her.

Jiang Yuan smiled and said gratefully, "Thank you."

"Then wait here for a moment, we'll go look for it," said Little Swallow.

Jiang Yuan: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

The little swallow flapped its wings and flew away.

Jiang Yuan watched their figures grow smaller and smaller, then turned to Xiao Xu and said, "They have a brave little friend who's with the cobra. Go find that friend now."

"That's wonderful!" Xiao Xu said happily.

The two stood under the trees in the green belt, discussing the matter while waiting.

Just then, a trembling voice came from behind, "Are you...are you looking for that terrifying snake?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan looked in the direction of the voice.

A little mouse poked its head out from the green belt and looked at them.

Jiang Yuan leaned down slightly to look at it, "Little mouse, do you know where that snake is?"

"The mouse had just escaped when the snake ate its companions..." The little mouse's voice trembled as it spoke.

Jiang Yuan: "Where is the snake? Can you take us there?"

Upon hearing this, the little mouse exclaimed in terror, "You're actually going to go find it? Aren't you afraid it will eat you?"

“Something must have happened to it,” Jiang Yuan explained. “I want to ask it what happened.”

"You're too brave!" the little mouse exclaimed. "It's too dangerous. I'm too scared to go. I barely escaped, and going back would be certain death!"
