Chapter 356 Sending Diamonds
Lin Ting instantly lost her desire to tease. She raised her hand and rubbed the golden python's drooping head, saying gently, "I found it. I wanted to give you a surprise, but it turned out to be a shock."
Lin Tingting nodded her arm, and a small golden snake crawled out from her sleeve and swam towards the two big golden pythons.
The little golden python kept coiling around her arm. In order to avoid scaring other people and zoo visitors, Lin Ting deliberately put on a long-sleeved shirt to hide the little golden python. That was why she had the idea of teasing it.
The little golden python took advantage of Lin Ting's arm to climb onto the female snake's head, and the male snake surrounded the little golden python and checked it in various ways.
Woo
"Have you ever been taken away by humans for experiments or injected with drugs?"
'Are you injured?'
"No, my sister found the snake. The snake was not taken away by other humans, nor was it injured. The snake has been following my sister all the time."
"I'm glad you're okay."
The three golden pythons made low-frequency calls to each other, which is a unique way of communication between animals.
After making sure that the little golden python was not injured, the two golden pythons lowered their heads towards her almost at the same time.
"Thank you, Xiangxiang Human."
"You're welcome." Lin Ting rubbed the golden python's head.
'The snake has a gift for you.'
As the female snake spoke, she left the little golden python behind and quickly crawled towards the big tree in the resting area.
The female snake crawled very fast and quickly circled the tree. When she came down again, there was a shiny diamond in her mouth.
The female snake spit the diamond into Lin Ting's hand.
'This is the snake's favorite thing, given to humans.'
Lin Ting took a look at the cross-section of the diamond. It was a natural diamond without any signs of artificial polishing. It was also a very rare pink diamond. Through the sunlight shining through his head, he could see that the diamond was very transparent without any impurities. It could be said to be a top-quality item.
Even if diamonds of this quality are not made into jewelry and sold on their own, they are worth millions. If made into jewelry, they can be sold for tens of millions.
Such an expensive item was definitely not lost by a tourist, and it is absolutely impossible that a tourist threw it to the golden python to play with.
If it was lost by a tourist, there would have been a massive search, even placing an ad in the newspaper, after all, there are millions of items worth.
Even a wealthy businessman wouldn't just throw away something worth millions to play with.
At the same time, the boy sent out by Lin Ting went to the cold storage and brought back a box of cut meat.
After stepping into the golden python's territory, the boy felt an invisible sense of oppression sweeping towards him. Although the space was very large, he felt it was very narrow. Even though the golden python did not look at him, he still felt as if something was staring at him from behind, and he felt a chill.
The boy moved forward slowly.
Lin Ting was so focused on looking at the diamonds that she didn't notice the boy gradually approaching.
She held the diamond in front of the golden python and asked gently, "Where did you get this?"
The boy who was gradually approaching thought Lin Ting was asking him a question. He bravely stepped forward to take a look and shook his head repeatedly. "I don't know. I've been here for a few days and have never seen one before. Maybe it's a toy that the staff gave to the golden python."
Hearing this, Lin Ting glanced back, but she didn't expect the boy to misunderstand. She moved her eyes downwards and saw the boy's legs shaking because of fear, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Although he was obviously afraid, he still mustered up the courage to come in and had such close contact with the golden python.
This work attitude is still worthy of encouragement.
She raised her eyebrows and said lazily, "You're just throwing something worth millions to the Golden Python as a toy?"
The boy's head exploded with a bang, and his voice rose a little, "Isn't this fake? One of those toys that costs a few dollars."
"Who said it's fake? Real diamonds will glow in the sun. Things that cost only a few dollars can be seen to have a plastic texture at a glance. Diamonds are very hard. Even if a golden python treats them as a toy, it won't leave any scratches. This is also a very rare pink diamond, worth millions." In order to let the boy see more clearly, Lin Ting raised his hand high. The pink diamond reflected a beautiful light like glass under the sunlight.
The boy was a college student from an ordinary family, so naturally he had never seen expensive diamonds. This was his first time seeing one, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "How beautiful!"
"Yes, the diamond really shines very beautifully." Lin Ting couldn't help but admire it a few more times.
The boy was so focused on admiring the diamond that he even let go of his initial fear of the golden python.
The boy said bluntly, "Could this diamond be from the rocks in the zoo? We don't have a huge diamond mine hidden in our zoo, do we?"
"You're thinking too much. Read less novels in the future." Lin Ting's words shattered the boy's fantasy.
She sat cross-legged on the ground, and three golden pythons crawled to her side and lay down. The small golden python even coiled directly around Lin Ting.
After seeing this scene, the boys felt that Lin Ting was a little scary. Which girl would dare to have such close contact with a snake?
Lin Ting raised his eyebrows and looked at the female snake.
Woo
'Brought from where the snakes live.'
"A snake found a lot of beautiful shiny things in a cave, so it swallowed one. But before it could even appreciate them, several humans injected it with anesthetic, put it in a sack, and threw it into a car. When the snake woke up, it was in this shabby place."
'Do humans like it?
There are still many of these things where the snakes used to live, but the snakes can never go back there, otherwise they would have given many of them to humans.
Based on the female snake's description, Lin Ting guessed that it should be a diamond mining site.
Lin Ting turned to look at the boy and asked gently, "Which country are these two golden pythons from?"
On the first day of work, all staff members will have an in-depth understanding of the animals they are going to care for, and the boys will naturally also read the information about the golden python.
"The former director bought it from Africa."
Then it all makes sense.
There are many diamond mines in Africa. The golden pythons should have been raised by the owners of those diamond mines and then sold to zoos. Otherwise, ordinary people would not be able to break into those mines.
The boy reacted quickly.
Lin Ting quickly realized what he meant, "This diamond, like the golden python, comes from Africa."
Lin Ting nodded in response to the boy's words.
"Thank you for your gift. I like it very much. This one is enough." Lin Ting has never been a greedy person. She touched the golden python's head. The feeling was not comfortable, but it was cool and cooling.
Lin Ting opened the lid of the plastic box, picked up the tongs on the cart, picked up a piece of meat and put it to the golden python's mouth, "Have something to eat."
The little golden python has been found, and the two golden pythons can clearly feel happy.
Before she left, she managed to swallow two large pieces of food, and when she saw the food again, she swallowed it in big gulps.
The food was still too big for the little golden python, and it was very difficult for it to eat. "Can you cut the food into smaller pieces?"
