Chapter 74 Reasons for the Large-Scale Migration of Tibetan Antelopes
After Si Ran left, Ruan Qingyue couldn't wait to follow her.
Just now, Si Ran fought against the Zhang mother and son and the two brothers of the Si family in the principal's office, which made him excited.
"Sister Ran, why didn't you let me admit that I was the one who hit Zhang Yanning? I'm not afraid of being punished anyway."
Si Ran turned around and looked at Ruan Qingyue.
"You're still a student. If Zhang Yanning insists on fighting you to the death, no matter how powerful you are, you won't gain any benefits. But he has the upper hand on me. As long as I clear you of any responsibility, his beating will be in vain. And wouldn't the result be great?"
The fact that Zhang Yanning was admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University is enough to show that he has surpassed many people in terms of academics.
Now that I've been expelled from school, I don't know how I feel.
Ruan Qingyue felt a little regretful: "Sister Ran, the evidence in your hand can send him directly to prison."
"You believe what I said?" Si Ran curled his lips and chuckled.
It is true that she has evidence, but the phone containing the evidence had been broken by Si Junhe, and she only recorded the audio at the time. From a legal perspective, this does not count as evidence at all.
The reason she said this was because she knew clearly that Zhang Yanning would be scared.
Seeing Ruan Qingyuan's clear eyes, Si Ran explained helplessly: "I don't have the so-called evidence. I lied to him. He saw Fu Xiao in jail, and he felt guilty so he didn't dare to pursue the responsibility. Otherwise, if we beat him today, we would have gotten ourselves into trouble anyway."
Although it’s not a big deal, it’s still very annoying.
Si Ran said this, and seeing that the graduates in the teaching building had already received their diplomas, he said, "I'm leaving first. Don't you have a fox? If you have any questions in the future, you can ask me."
After saying that, Si Ran ran away like a gust of wind, leaving Ruan Qingyue with a look of grievance and longing in his eyes.
Ruan Qingyue extended Erkang's hand: "Sister Ran, please at least leave me your contact information..."
However, all that was left for him was Si Ran's hurried back.
——
Si Ran went to the counselor's office, got her graduation materials, and then went to the hall to receive her diploma.
After finishing all this, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
She had just walked out of the school gate with her graduation certificate and had not yet gotten into the car when she saw Song Zhi, Lin Suiye and others waiting for her at the school gate.
Several people looked serious, and Si Ran walked over immediately.
Lin Suiye said, "Xiao Ran, this is an emergency, get in the car first."
Seeing Lin Suiye so anxious, Si Ran hurriedly got into the car.
Lin Suiye was driving ahead, while Ji Zhishi explained the situation. "Dean Meng received news this morning that the Tibetan antelopes in the Altun Mountains should migrate to Zhuonai Lake to give birth at this time of year. However, this year, staff at the Altun Mountain Conservation Base discovered that the antelopes were not following their usual route, and their numbers were significantly lower than in previous years. We initially suspect they were captured by hunters."
The Tibetan antelope has been listed as a first-class protected animal by the state since 1993 and is also on the Red List of Endangered Species.
The wool of Tibetan antelopes is very popular in Europe and the United States. The hair of two or three Tibetan antelopes can be made into a "shahtoosh shawl", which can easily be sold at a high price of 300,000 yuan.
Nowadays, the country has set up many protection stations in every region, and the laws have been generally improved since the 21st century. Poaching is not as rampant as in the last century, but in reality it is not much better.
Whether in Tibet, Hoh Xil, or even Xinjiang, Tibetan antelopes are subjected to varying degrees of abuse.
So this is the first time we have seen Tibetan antelopes change their migration routes on a large scale.
Si Ran thought about it for a while and felt that something was not right.
"So what is our mission this time?"
Lin Suiye glanced in the rearview mirror. "Director Meng wants us to help the Tibetan antelope return to their original migration routes and, if possible, find out the reasons for their population decline."
Since Si Ran has the ability to understand animal language, this matter is not difficult to accomplish.
But what exactly the problem is? So far, we have only communicated over the phone, and everything still needs to be done on site.
Song Zhi has already packed Si Ran's luggage.
After flying for five and a half hours, the plane finally landed at the local airport.
However, the Xinlu area is vast, and it takes more than ten hours to drive to the Altun Mountain Protection Station after getting off the plane.
Fortunately, the group finally arrived at their destination the next morning before the morning mist had dissipated.
As soon as the few people arrived, local protection station staff came over.
The visitor was named Queenie, a local. He spoke in a rhythmic tone: "We are so happy to have you here. If you hadn't come, we wouldn't know what we would have done."
The other person's Mandarin is average, but fortunately everyone can understand him.
It is already August, but the temperature in the Altun Mountains is still a bit cold, and there is still unmelted snow on the top of the mountain.
Si Ran wore a quilted fleece jacket inside and a black jacket outside, wrapping himself tightly to ensure that the wind would not enter his clothes.
She asked Queenie about the Tibetan antelopes.
Queenie spoke wearily, "I've been guarding the Tibetan antelopes at the protection station for a full twenty years. Every May, the pregnant Tibetan antelopes go to Zhuonai Lake to give birth because there's fresh water and grassland there. I've been doing this for twenty years."
After saying this, Queenie let out a long sigh. "But I don't know what's going on this year. Not only are the Tibetan antelopes not migrating en masse, they've even changed their migration route. You're experts from the mainland, so you should know better than anyone that animals don't change their migration routes significantly each year. So even though our staff tried to correct them, the Tibetan antelopes still haven't moved back to their original route."
"As for where they plan to go, we don't know."
After hearing this, Si Ran quickly stood up and said, "Don't worry, the purpose of our visit this time is to help the Tibetan antelopes migrate."
Queenie said excitedly: "That's great, you guys take a rest first, we'll set off tomorrow."
The few of them spent a whole day and night on the road, and they really needed to rest.
The facilities at the Arxan Conservation Station are much more complete than the temporary residences in Hoh Xil.
After washing up, Si Ran did not go to sleep, but planned to go out and see the situation first.
Seeing this, Song Zhi wanted to follow him out as well.
Si Ran wanted to refuse, but Song Zhi said seriously: "Si Ran, you are the one I protect, so as long as I am on a mission, I will be by your side all the time. This is my job and my responsibility."
Si Ran was stunned.
She was used to fighting alone, so although she cooperated well with the wild protection team and Song Zhi, she always felt that there was a thin veil between them, and she could not fit in.
Therefore, Song Zhi's words just now suddenly enlightened her.
These people are her teammates, and they will most likely go through life and death together in the future. Just having tacit cooperation is not enough.
Si Ran looked at Song Zhi, her eyes brightening up: "I understand, thank you Sister Song Zhi."
Song Zhi pursed his lips slightly, and finally couldn't help but patted Si Ran's shoulder gently: "Think it through, there are so many people in the team, you don't have to do everything by yourself, you have teammates and friends behind you to rely on."
And the country.
