Chapter 179 Administering Anesthesia
Ye Wanxi and the others' expressions changed slightly upon hearing this: "What happened?"
"In the viewing area ahead, a three- or four-year-old child accidentally fell into the wild animal enclosure. There's a tiger in that area..."
Ye Wanxi didn't hear the end of the story and turned to run in the direction the group of people had left.
"Wanxi, where are you going? Wait for us." Gu Shaoling and the others reacted a beat slower, and hurriedly chased after her.
The incident occurred near Lion and Tiger Mountain, where Ji Yuanting lives. There are many wild animals in this area, but most of them have designated areas to prevent fights between them.
The child fell from a rockery in a courtyard, about three or four meters high.
Fortunately, the moss on the artificial hill was soft, so the child was unharmed after falling down.
Falling from such a height is bound to hurt, and being suddenly separated from her parents must have terrified the child, causing her to burst into tears on the spot.
The crying inevitably attracted the attention of a tiger that was resting on another artificial hill in the park.
When Ye Wanxi arrived, there was a commotion outside the fence, with a large crowd gathered.
A man in his thirties grabbed the fence and tried to climb up, but was pulled down by the onlookers.
The man was so angry that he almost got into a fight with the people pulling him, but he was restrained by too many people and couldn't actually fight.
On the other side, a disheveled woman collapsed beside the fence, staring intently through the net at her son inside, whose face was flushed from crying. She cried and called out her son's name.
It's clear that the man and woman are the parents of the child who accidentally rolled into the wild animal enclosure.
The park staff have already sent people to find tools to subdue the tiger and rescue the child, but the child's cries have already attracted the tiger's attention.
As the tiger approached the boy step by step, the park staff still hadn't arrived. Everyone was anxious for those outside the fence, but there was nothing they could do.
That's a tiger, a real beast. If it were to overturn, the number of people being eaten might increase from one to two. Nobody dares to take that risk.
Ye Wanxi estimated the distance between the little boy and the tiger, then glanced around and finally found a broom in the corner.
"Get out of the way." Upon hearing this reprimand, the people surrounding the fence instinctively took a step back.
The next second, a figure darted to the top of the net, and upon closer inspection, the person was already on the other side of the net.
Those who were relatively close looked completely bewildered, and some even raised their hands to rub their eyes.
"How did she get to the other side? What happened? How did she do that?"
"Little girl, what are you doing? Come back quickly, it's dangerous over there!"
"Wait, why does this person look so familiar? Damn, it's that minor celebrity, the one who captured hundreds of human traffickers by scaling walls and leaping across rooftops!"
Ye Wanxi landed gracefully on a few branches extending from the edge of the fence, when she heard such a roar, which startled her so much that she almost slipped.
Just how many rumors have those unscrupulous media outlets fabricated about her? They can exaggerate the truth about two or three people into hundreds; they really think too highly of her.
However, she can't worry about that right now.
The tiger, whose sleep had been disturbed, was in a bad mood. As soon as it reached the little boy, it opened its blood-red mouth at him.
Tourists outside the fence who witnessed this scene were shocked, and the child's mother almost fainted from crying.
At the critical moment, a broom appeared out of nowhere and landed squarely in the tiger's mouth, stopping it from lunging forward.
The tiger tried to push forward with brute force, but found that it could not move an inch. It was furious and roared loudly.
The deafening roar of the tiger sent shivers down the spines of many tourists outside, making their limbs go weak.
Taking advantage of this moment, Ye Wanxi pulled the wooden broom back, picked up the little boy, and ran away.
The enraged tiger was naturally not going to let them off so easily. This fearsome king of beasts, even after being domesticated for many years, still retained its wild nature, ferocity, and excessive strength.
Ye Wanxi didn't intend to confront it head-on, mainly because it was unnecessary and a waste of effort.
Furthermore, with so many people present, if she really causes trouble, that Minister Xiao might have to come back to confront her again.
After weighing the pros and cons, Ye Wanxi decisively took her child and climbed up the tallest tree in the park.
Of course, tigers can also climb trees.
Unfortunately, it encountered Ye Wanxi.
The large brown tiger with stripes chased the two people to the foot of the tree. It lingered there for about two or three minutes before finally losing patience, placing its forelegs on the tree and preparing to climb up.
The tourists outside the fence were on edge again, but before they could express their worries, Ye Wanxi's broom jabbed down precisely, knocking the tiger's head down once more.
Tourists: "???"
Big Tiger: "???"
The tiger, unwilling to give up, tried to climb up again, only to be knocked down once more.
After this happened several times, the tiger was enraged again and roared at Ye Wanxi with its mouth wide open.
He had barely finished yelling when he was hit on the head with a broom head.
"..."
"..."
The tiger and the surrounding tourists fell silent.
Just as the tourists were trembling with fear, worried that her blow would provoke the tiger into attacking, the tiger suddenly let out a mournful cry: "Woof~"
"..." What to do? I suddenly feel a little sorry for this tiger.
No, no, no, that's the king of beasts! It can take down a kid in one bite without getting its teeth stuck. Showing pity for it is like asking for trouble.
But in any case, the female celebrity and the little boy who suddenly appeared are clearly out of immediate danger.
The little boy, who had been terrified earlier, had stopped crying at some point and was nestled obediently in Ye Wanxi's arms, his big eyes curiously watching the giant tiger circling around them below.
Outside the netting, the couple, who were initially agitated by their son's near-death experience, calmed down a bit, but their eyes remained fixed on their son in the tree, afraid that something might happen if they looked away for even a moment.
The park staff and police finally arrived late. Upon discovering that in addition to the little boy, there was also an adult woman inside, and that this woman was a female celebrity, they angrily shouted, "Nonsense!"
But after learning the whole story, they were no longer able to utter any words of accusation.
If it weren't for someone's foolishness, the boy would probably have been killed long before they arrived, and the tiger inside would have been shot dead on the spot for injuring or even killing someone.
How could things be like this now? Everyone is safe and sound, and there's not even any bloodshed. The tiger is still lingering under the tree, giving them plenty of time to rescue them.
Ye Wanxi had already noticed the group of people and seemed to know what they were struggling with, so she called out loudly.
"Give him anesthesia."
