Chapter 68 Adopting a Baby Elephant
Pippi's life was saved.
Si Ran was extremely excited and felt fortunate.
Pippi had just finished the operation and the anesthetic effect had not yet worn off.
When it saw Si Ran crying, it subconsciously wanted to use its nose to wipe the tears for the beautiful human, but it found that its nose was numb and it could only move a little bit.
Then it felt as if its body was no longer its own, and its skin and flesh seemed to have been sewn again and were tight.
Pipi panicked: "Beautiful human, what's wrong with me? Where is the baby's mother?"
If Si Ran wasn't here, it really wanted to stand up and go out.
The unfamiliar environment made the baby elephant feel a little scared.
Si Ran quickly wiped away her tears and raised her hand to touch Pi Pi's soft nose: "You were hit by a truck yesterday and now you need treatment. It may take a long time before you can see your mother."
Si Ran has read yesterday's monitoring report. It will take at least a year for the baby elephant to recover.
When the little elephant heard this, he panicked.
It started by apologizing: "I... I didn't mean to get under the car. I just wanted to eat the sugar cane that fell from the car. I don't know how I ended up under the car all of a sudden."
Although the baby elephant is naughty, it is smart.
My mother often reminds it not to run on roads with cars, so it is very careful every time it crosses the road. Who knew it would get hit by a car.
The mother and the herd must be very worried about it!
It will definitely be beaten by its mother again when it goes back!
As the little elephant thought about it, he began to feel uncomfortable and started to cry.
Song Zhi, who was standing by, didn't understand what the baby elephant was saying, but he knew that the elephant was crying.
What she didn't expect was that an elephant could cry so ugly.
I have learned a lot.
Si Ran comforted Pipi for a long time with bloodshot eyes, and finally let it accept the treatment obediently before leaving.
She hadn't slept for twenty-four hours, and her body was tired, but her mind was very active.
Si Ran couldn't sleep at all after washing up.
Thinking of the reward the system had just given out, Si Ran went into the Wonderful Zoo. After returning to the room in the Wonderful Zoo, he indeed found the reward the system mentioned.
It would have been fine if he hadn't watched it, but after watching it, Si Ran couldn't sleep even more!
"System, the surgical examples here... don't seem to have appeared before. Is this the level of medical care in your world?"
The system replied, "Indeed, the world in which the system exists is thousands of years more advanced than Earth. Problems that you cannot solve now are easily solved in the system's world."
Si Ran understood.
She had been in the entertainment industry before, so she always had to keep up with the hottest IPs in the market. She had read a lot of articles about the interstellar era and quickly accepted and understood what the system said.
She didn't want to trace the origin and age of the system.
For her, being able to use the system to get rewards and understand what the furry creatures say is enough for her.
Si Ran looked at the complete surgical operation in the zoo in the system for a long time. When she saw that the time was almost up, she reluctantly left.
She needed to find the elephant herd and tell them about Pippi's situation.
Lin Suiye and others had been waiting outside the room for a long time. When everyone saw that Si Ran's eyes had become even redder, they were all shocked.
"Xiao Ran, you haven't slept yet?"
Si Ran shook her head. She was very excited now!
"It's normal not to be able to sleep." Ji Zhishi chuckled. "The last time we encountered a poaching gang in Hoh Xil, I was so scared that I couldn't close my eyes for two days."
After saying that, Ji Zhishi was hit on the head with a heavy hammer.
He groaned and looked resentfully at the captain who always hit him on the back of the head.
Lin Suiye gave him a look: "What are you looking at? How can yours be the same? You are just scared because you are a coward."
Ji Zhishi couldn't refute it.
With Ji Zhishi, a lively guy, in the team, the atmosphere is much more relaxed.
A few people drove to the mountain they had reached yesterday, and sure enough, the herd of elephants were already waiting quietly on both sides of the road.
Perhaps they smelled Si Ran's scent, or perhaps the herd of elephants had already remembered the car that Si Ran and his companions were riding in. As soon as the car pulled over, the herd of elephants immediately made a sound, as if to remind passing vehicles that they were about to get on the road.
Sure enough, the vehicles that were still moving began to slow down and pass by.
The herd of elephants, led by a female elephant, couldn't wait to come to Si Ran.
The mother elephant curled her trunk slightly and gently touched Si Ran's head: "Human, how is Pi Pi?"
From yesterday until now, they have not left and have been waiting for news from Si Ran.
Si Ran said, "Pipi's injuries are very serious. Considering its recovery, I want to take it to my zoo to recuperate for a year. I will send Pipi back when you migrate next year."
Elephants have a memory that is beyond the reach of humans. Even forty years later, elephants will still clearly remember the long queues of drivers on the road clearing their cargo, and the hateful faces of truck drivers who stopped the crowds from dismantling their vehicles.
They also remember the tragic scene of Pippi being caught under the wheels.
If Pippi had died last night, it would have been a lifetime of living torture for the group.
Therefore, Si Ran wanted to send a complete Pipi back to the elephant herd safely in the summer of next year.
Si Ran thought he would talk for a while.
Who knew that as soon as she finished speaking, the mother elephant nudged her gently with her trunk and let out a long, low cry: "Pipi will follow you. We are at ease. We will wait here next summer."
After saying this, the mother elephant placed her trunk on Si Ran's cheek and said softly, "Thank you, human."
——
The Monwa family still needs to migrate.
The elephant herd was relieved that Pipi was being taken care of by Si Ran, and they agreed to come and pick up Pipi again during the next migration.
After returning to the protection station, Pipi heard that he could follow the beautiful human to the big city, and suddenly he felt no pain anywhere.
Otherwise, if you are too big, the little guy will want to roll over like a carp.
It shook its nose hard and said, "That's great! I heard the little monkey say there are lots of bananas in the zoo, but I prefer sugar cane. Director, can you give the baby sugar cane every day?"
Animals have an amazing ability to recover.
In just one day, Pippi's spirits recovered a lot. He even started to hook his nose on her thigh and look at her eagerly.
Si Ran is a fan of furry stuffed animals. Even though Pipi's fur is stiff, its brown pupils are pure and cute, so Si Ran agreed without thinking.
Never mind, their zoo is going to have Asian elephants anyway, so what if they can eat some!
Pippi's injuries are serious and he has to wait for assessment by the staff of the conservation station before he can be loaded onto a truck and sent to the Wonderful Zoo.
When Pipi learned that Si Ran could not always be by her side, she felt like the sky was falling.
She cried and shouted, not letting Si Ran leave.
Si Ran was also helpless: "But I have to go back and decorate a room for our lovely Pipi. Don't you want to have a spacious room to live in when you get to the zoo?"
Pippi blinked his eyes.
Of course it does!
It not only wants to live well, but also wants to eat well!
Si Ran was still making big promises to Pi Pi: "Besides, you really like eating sugarcane, don't you? When I go back, I will plant a lot of sugarcane for you in the park, and you can eat as much as you want in the future!"
Pippi was completely moved.
It has begun to imagine itself sleeping inside the sugarcane.
So happy, so blessed!
It nodded quickly: "Then...then Director, please go back quickly and don't stay here with me anymore."
After saying that, he tried hard to use his trunk to push Si Ran out of the house.
He was afraid that if Si Ran returned a second late, his sugarcane would be gone.
Lin Suiye and others tried hard to hold back their laughter.
Even if I didn't understand, I could still guess a little from Si Ran and Pi Pi's anxious actions.
The inexperienced Pippi probably didn't know that by the time he returned to the zoo, the sugarcane he had been longing for would have been out of season!
