This was the first time the fans had ever seen such a scene of cover-up and fighting; who had ever seen so many villagers ganging up on the forest rangers?

The scene was so spectacular that it was hard to tell which was better.

Lin Feng stood to the side and watched.

Bai Lu became worried: "Lin Feng, what should we do now?"

"If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to explain ourselves to Captain Yao!"

"Actually, the most difficult people to deal with are these villagers. Most of them are relatives, so if something happens, they will not only cover for each other, but sometimes they will also unite to resist outsiders."

Just like many people who are kidnapped and trapped in the mountains for decades, do you really think they don't want to come out? If a family is in trouble, everyone will help each other. But even if they escape, these mountains are truly a place of no return!

Over there, Captain Yao had already been beaten black and blue by the local villagers.

All three teams of the entire forest ranger are here.

A large lump had formed on his forehead.

Some of the older experts had never seen anything like it before, and their glasses were even knocked off.

The buttons on the collar had been ripped off.

This is the first time the fans have been so speechless.

Who told Lin Feng to suddenly barge into this village?

It's practically a gray area!

Even the forest rangers couldn't control them.

That's incredibly violent!

The village chief arrived, looking travel-worn.

"What's the situation now?"

When the villagers saw the village chief arrive, they surrounded him and told him everything.

He saw several familiar forest rangers and Officer Zhao at the scene.

"Officer Zhao, what a coincidence! Oh, Captain Yao, you're here too!"

"Hey? Comrade Lin Feng, you're here too."

Goodness, this is a game with familiar faces!

"Captain Yao, what happened to your head?"

Captain Yao retorted irritably, "Wasn't it you villagers who beat him up?"

"Oh dear, it's all a misunderstanding, it's all my fault. They don't even know what an otter is!"

"Please forgive me! I'll take the blame for this! I'll accept whatever punishment you want!"

The villagers were furious: "Why should we? Village chief! Are you afraid of them?"

"Shut up, all of you. Do you all want to drink tea in oranges?"

Clearly, the village chief was unanimously chosen by everyone, and he's always the first to step up and take responsibility when something happens. What can he say when something like this happens to the villagers today?

Do we really have to send this bunch of elderly people in their seventies and eighties, along with women, to the police station?

It's better to avoid trouble!

The village chief quickly apologized to everyone.

They wanted to let the matter drop.

Lin Feng had no choice but to bite the bullet and scoop up the otter mother's carcass from the road and put it aside.

It was so flat that it was hard to tell what it was.

All the members of the forest ranger team frowned.

I felt a little reluctant.

When Officer Zhao arrived, he said, "This is definitely not a water ghost, but we can't tell what it originally was either. It's been flattened too much!"

Village Chief: "Captain Yao, how about giving me some face and fining each of these villagers 300 yuan? These people are all old!"

The atmosphere froze.

What does it mean to not recognize someone?

This is a protected baby otter!

You don't even recognize them?!

Lin Feng took out the little otter from his backpack that he had been chatting with the tiger cub.

A tiny otter cub with soft, downy fur.

Its tiny, bean-sized eyes darted back and forth.

"What's this?"

A group of villagers looked at the object in Lin Feng's hand with curiosity.

They all gathered around.

Some people still looked at the cub in Lin Feng's hands with disdain.

"What kind of thing looks so disgusting?"

"This thing definitely doesn't look good!"

"beat!"

Lin Feng took out a documentary to show everyone and explained, "This animal is a rare and protected species from Changbai Mountain."

"There are countless protected animals in these mountains, and even if you don't recognize them, they are still protected animals."

"Its full name is the Chinese Little Otter!"

Lin Feng also talked about the differences between sea otters, giant otters, and beavers.

Upon hearing these unfamiliar words, the villagers gripped their hoes even tighter.

"What kind of nonsense are you spouting? It's completely confusing us!"

"Don't tell us that!"

Captain Yao suppressed his anger towards these villagers who wouldn't listen to reason and whom he couldn't even hit.

He snatched the documentary from Lin Feng's hand.

He retorted to the villagers.

"Catching these animals is illegal!"

"Don't even mention that catching them is illegal! Killing them would be a crime!"

"Those who illegally kill rare or endangered protected animals should be prosecuted!"

Captain Yao loudly repeated the information about animal protection that was in his mind.

The villagers weren't buying it.

"So what if you can recite a book?"

"What do you mean by protecting animals!"

They tried to surround Lin Feng, intending to kill the little otter cub in his arms as well.

The fans in the live stream had tears in their eyes.

[Don't they protect endangered animals? Is it even justified to kill them?]

No wonder they say it's not that old people have become bad, but that bad people have grown old! You really can't reason with these people; just take them to Orange Garden for tea!

[I'm so angry after seeing this! What kind of people are these?!]

Amidst the shoving and pushing, a child was pushed into the water by someone unknown.

The little otter immediately jumped out of Lin Feng's backpack.

With a thud.

Water splashed everywhere.

The child was splashing around in the water, like a little chick that had fallen in.
