Chapter 92

The boy laughed and said, "I got this semi-automatic torture device based on what I found online..."

The boasting stopped abruptly after he came to his senses. "What? A torture device?"

The boy said: "I modified this according to the turtle tank tutorial posted on the Internet."

"It's an advertisement for selling turtle tanks." Wen Youning zoomed in to see the turtle lying on the middle protrusion with its claws tucked in. "You'd better take the turtle out now. Even if you put it directly on the table, it's better than leaving it in this turtle tank."

The boy still wanted to explain a few words about the turtle tank that was derived from his cleverness and wisdom, but since Wen Youning said so, he took out the turtle first.

"I wonder how smart I am that it is cold on one side and hot on the other. Is it because the temperature difference is too big that it is not used to it? If I only use a heating pad, it will definitely not suit its living habits. If I put ice packs everywhere, it will hibernate directly."

Wen Youning's eyes did not move as she straightened the bottle in the tiger cub's mouth, "If you do this, it will be a fully automatic torture device."

[In ancient times, this guy would have been a minister of the Ministry of Justice.]

[I also think that the smart turtle tanks on the market are relatively expensive, which is already higher than the price of many turtles themselves, but I can't afford the smart ones, so I just use an empty tank and get a stupid one. ]

[Luckily it's a turtle, it's just a cold. If it were any other small animal, it would have died.]

[So, did the turtle admit it? ]

[If you confess, arrest him immediately, don’t use the torture instruments. 】

…

"Most of the stalls sell red-eared sliders, but yours is a red-eared slider. It can stay in the water forever, as long as the water level is low enough to cover its shell and ensure that it can lift its head and breathe normally."

Red-eared sliders are aquatic turtles.

Its ribs and shell are connected, so the red-eared slider cannot breathe in water, but it can hold its breath for a long time.

Although most sellers say that turtles are easy to raise, all you need is a tank, some water, and some food to keep them alive.

If I raise it for a long time, I can send you away.

But in fact, raising turtles is not as easy as they say.

"Remove everything else from the fish tank and just add some water as I said. If the turtle's cold symptoms are mild, don't use medicine yet. Take it out to bask in the sun and it will slowly recover."

"If it's serious, you can use cold medicine or isatis root to rinse it with water. Use cold water, and then give it a bath. The water level should not exceed the shell."

Wen Youning explained in detail, "Pay attention to the dosage, use a small amount of medicine, and soak for a short time."

[Hahaha, Teacher Wen is really worried that this guy might kill his turtle because he didn't mention something.]

[For a moment I wondered whether this turtle would be better off in the hands of the vendor or if it would be better off here.]

[They are all being tortured, so don’t worry about the severity. The vendors don’t take good care of the turtles. I have many small turtles with various patterns painted on their shells, but they don’t live long.]

The boy listened and nodded blankly, "Then I will keep warm and cool down..."

"No need to do that. Give it a quiet environment." Wen Youning added, "Don't let it bask in the sun for too long. It's best if you stand by and calculate the time."

"Is it so rigorous?" The boy felt a sense of urgency as if he was running a 1,000-meter race. "What will happen if you add or subtract one second?"

"It's nothing." Wen Youning shrugged, "I was just worried that you'd forget to put the turtle tank in the sun and leave it exposed to the sun for a day."

No matter how old or big the turtle is, if it is exposed to the sun for a day in good weather, it will die.

Boy: “…”

Is that so?

The boy scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "No way. How could I make such a low-level mistake?"

The little turtle rested on the table for a while. Staying on the flat surface without any strange temperature, it poked its head out and complained in its heart.

'Last time he was bathing the turtle, he left halfway through the bath, leaving the water running.'

'The turtles have all swam into the house.'

Wen Youning raised an eyebrow after hearing this, "The water bill must be quite high."

It's impossible to give the turtle a bath in the living room. If you fill the water to a height high enough for the turtle to swim out, the whole house would probably be flooded.

The boy was confused, "What water fee?"

Wen Youning: "Last time you gave the turtle a bath, you forgot to turn off the faucet."

"No, who said that? I didn't." The boy's eyes were confused. He recalled: "Giving a turtle a bath... There was one time."

"But that time I just went out to answer a phone call and then I had some emergency work so I went to work on a PPT..." The boy pursed his lips, thinking about how he was obsessed with work at the time, sitting cross-legged on an ergonomic chair typing, and caught a glimpse of a turtle swimming on the floor out of the corner of his eye.

oh……

It seems that the faucet is not turned off.

The red-eared slider rolled his eyes.

"Well, anyway... just be careful. The turtles from the roadside stalls don't have a very good environment during transportation. The fact that it's still alive after you treated it like this shows that it's in good health. It's just a minor cold. Do as I say. It should be able to recover on its own without any medicine."

Wen Youning listened to the red-eared slider's inner complaints and felt quite energetic.

"Okay, I understand." The boy blushed, "Thank you, Mr. Wen."

[To be honest, I actually take it very seriously. ]

[Stupid people's ability to act is fully realized. 】

[Hahaha, don’t ever have such sudden ideas again in the future. Don’t look at those promotional ads when searching for turtle tanks!!!]

[Will your girlfriend come across the live broadcast room? If she does, give her a punch. 】

【I follow with a punch. 】

…

The microphone was disconnected and the tiger cub’s bottle of milk was empty.

But little Latte still held on to the pacifier and refused to let go.

Since the bottle was empty, there was no rush to put it away and I just let it bite it for fun.

Wen Youning said, "Are the ones I let you bite before all rotten?"

I didn’t see the cub holding it just now.

She put the cub down and turned back into the cave.

The three tigers are all very clean, and the cave is well maintained, but it is inevitable that the mats will get dirty from walking around.

Wen Youning took the mat apart into pieces and knocked it on an empty table, causing dust to fly everywhere.

There is no sunlight in the cave, and the well-fed tigers lie on the platform in various postures.

Coffee, who had just returned from hunting, dropped his prey below and jumped up to rub it against the milk.

The sleepy Milk was woken up by the rub and gave it two paws in annoyance.

Coffee squinted his eyes, licked his lips and jumped down again, walked to the full bowl of milk and tasted it.

This was reserved by Wen Youning in advance.

Yogurt stretched, glanced at Maomao who was still eating, and jumped up without looking back to find someone to play with.

Wen Youning wanted to take advantage of the good weather now to take apart all the cushions and dry them in the sun.

As soon as Yogurt came over, a backpack was stuffed into his mouth, "Take this back."

"Woo!" Yogurt was assigned to work without rubbing against anyone. When he turned around, he swung his tail and casually moved it towards Wen Youning.

'Bump into you.'

Wen Youning heard his inner voice and took a step forward. Suoyou didn't hit him the first time and staggered.

"Ouch!" He threw the yogurt into the backpack and pounced on him.

Wen Youning's figure swayed, and the cushions in her hands flew out, "Hey!"

She stretched out her hands and grabbed twice, but the mat still floated down and landed on the tree below.

Yogurt, with his paw on her shoulder, blinked.

[Yogurt: Sorry, sister, Vadasi didn’t mean it. ]

[Hahaha, you bad tiger who doesn't work but makes trouble! Let me kiss you and I'll help you persuade Teacher Wen not to do it.]

[What a lively South China tiger. Wow, so cute. ]

Yogurt slowly lowered his eyes to meet Wen Youning's upturned gaze, then turned around, picked up the backpack on the ground and ran away.

“Yogurt!” Wen Youning’s voice sounded from behind it, “Don’t run! Go pick it up for me!”

“Ouch——!”

I can’t hear it! I can’t hear it!

'hey-hey. '

Yogurt runs very fast, using all his strength to accelerate the 100-meter race here.

Wen Youning saw that the blanket on the tree was quite stable and would not fall down for a while, so she did not rush to pick it up and spread out the ones in her hands first.

Otherwise, you might pick up one and drop two.

Wen Youning spread out the mat a little bit, and when she turned around, the mat on the tree flew up.

"???"

Yogurt squeezed out an ear from the branches.

Wen Youning raised his eyebrows. It should be Yogurt's head that was underneath.

The branches were too dense, and the gaps between the trees were filled with leaves. The mat was moving up and down, and Yogurt couldn't find a place to get out.

Wen Youning put down the mat in her hand and went to help. The yogurt inside suddenly hit her with a claw, and the mat slid down the edge and fell to the bottom.

'I found it.'

Unable to get up along this edge, Yogurt went around and jumped up from behind.

"Woo!" Yogurt held the cushion in his mouth and raised his head high.

for you!

'When someone reaches out to me, I will dodge.'

A smile flashed across Wen Youning's eyes. She raised her hand to tidy up her hair, and the South China tiger retreated with a swish.

yogurt:"……"

"Haha!" Wen Youning pulled her hair up and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Woo!" The angry tiger pounced over.

Wen Youning still had a smile on her face. She scooped up a handful of tiger claws and said, "Put the mat away. Don't let it fall down again."

The yogurt rubbed against her, the mat fell to the ground, and she pushed it to the side with her claws.

"Leave these aside for now. You guys shouldn't go back for a nap, right?" Wen Youning planned to look for the giant pandas and black bears first.

It also takes time for the mat to dry.

If you didn't encounter any giant pandas while digging mushrooms when you came in, then the giant pandas are probably still sleeping at home.

Knowing where their nests are makes it easy to find them.

"Woo?" Yogurt realized that she was going out.

Where to go?

"I'm going to bring food to the giant pandas and black bears." Since we are here, we should feed all the animals we know and not favor one over the other.

Big cats are not interested in fresh bamboo shoots and sweet and sour fruits.

The box was there and no tiger came to bite it.

【After returning to the reserve, Teacher Wen felt as familiar as if he were back home. 】

[Other people have friends from all over the world, but Teacher Wen’s friends are diverse.]

[Should we find a territory for Maomao next? 】

"The territory...is hard to find." Wen Youning is not like a small animal that can tell whether it has an owner or not by smell. She has to rely on the feedback from the furry creatures around her to know.

It’s not easy to deal with territories.

"Let's go back and have a look at the depths of the reserve." Wen Youning and Suanrou came back together, put their hands on its head, and scratched its fur from time to time. "The biggest problem now is hunting."

When I walked back to the platform, the leopard mother had already gone back.

There are cubs at home, so it can't stay for long.

Maomao lay in front of the empty bowl. Due to the intimidating effect of the coffee beside him, he didn't dare to run away even though he was full.

Perhaps it was because of Wen Youning's appearance that Maomao realized that these ferocious tigers would not harm him, so although he was still afraid, he was no longer as frightened as before when he turned around and ran away when he saw them.

Wen Youning supported her chin with one hand and tapped her cheek with her fingertips, "Hey, take your time."

---

Giant pandas don't move often.

Especially when they are not in danger and there are no very fierce opponents coming out to challenge them for territory, they will not run around.

Unless they have cubs and the original nest can no longer accommodate them, they will choose to select another suitable place to build a nest.

The nest must be the same place as before.

The entrance to the hole was well hidden from the animals’ eyes, but if you looked closely at the direction of the branches and leaves, you could clearly see some disorder.

Wen Youning packed a backpack full of fruits and young bamboo shoots, but the giant panda was not seen in its den.

"Eh? Not at home?" Wen Youning estimated the time, "Maybe he went out to find something to eat."

She opened the backpack and put the part for the giant panda inside so that she could see it when the giant panda came back from hunting.

In that case... Wen Youning guessed: "The mother black bear might not be at home."

The images previously captured by drones in the nature reserve showed many giant pandas and black bears in the same frame.

Wen Youning said: "They may be going out hunting together now."

Black bear cubs are larger than South China tiger cubs, and when Wen Youning met them, they were already able to move freely.

It is also time to watch the mother black bear hunt and learn skills, so I will bring them with me when I hunt.

Thinking of this, Wen Youning walked to the black bear's den, and sure enough, there was not a single furry creature.

"Okay. We came at the wrong time." Wen Youning still put the food down, "Then let's leave a little surprise."

The furry animals that have worked hard to hunt can also have some fun.

The giant pandas and black bears who see the food will also know she has been here.

Yogurt looked back into the distance and said, "Woo..."

Silly tiger.

'It's not hidden very well at all.'

"Is Maomao coming with us?" Wen Youning stood up, patted the dirt, put the fruits and meat away, picked up the empty backpack and put it on Yogurt's back, "Let's go, let's leave here first."

Yogurt has met both giant pandas and black bears, so he is quite familiar with them.

As for Maomao, he is a completely unfamiliar tiger, so it is better to take him away from here first.

As they were walking back, Wen Youning suddenly had an idea: "Yogurt, how about you teach Maomao how to hunt?"

Although she had never seen Yogurt hunting with her own eyes, judging from the fact that Yogurt was able to successfully bring back prey every time he went out hunting, Yogurt's hunting ability must be good.

The hunting methods taught by humans are just the basics. You still need to find a serious teacher to learn.

Once Maomao learns how to hunt, he can go out and find his own territory.

It is a little difficult for her to help find a territory. Moreover, the released animals still have to master survival skills on their own. Apart from today's meal, Maomao will have to catch meat on his own in the future.

“Ouch!”

No!

'A fool wouldn't.'

Wen Youning said: "It just reacts slowly."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard a "click" sound above his head.

"Awoo?!" With a scream, the South China tiger fell straight down from the tree.

Fortunately, he did not forget the landing technique which was engraved in his bones. He turned in the air and let his front paws land first. He did not stand steadily, and his head plunged forward, with his butt and tail raised high.

Wen Youning: "..."

All right.

Maybe there is indeed a slight lack of intelligence.

But when it comes to hunting, you have to learn it before you can know the effect.
