Chapter 373: Three days without punishment
The specific implementation date of the floating city endangered animal protection plan was set on the second day after the underground city was completed. Only then would they have the time and place to raise animals.
It is precisely because the endangered animal protection plan in Fucheng has not yet been officially implemented that Maodan can currently stay safely with Xia Xiaoman.
Xia Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the plan for protecting endangered animals would not be implemented so quickly.
"Doctor Hu, do you have any way to allow my wolf cub to continue to stay with me?"
Hu Ying gathered his clothes and said, "It's easy to keep this wolf by your side. You just need to make it act like it can't leave you. For the sake of the wolf's health, the officials will let you keep it. But are you sure you want to do this?"
Hu Ying looked at Xia Xiaoman. "Wolves are social animals. Have you asked its opinion about keeping it with you? Does it want to stay with you as a pet? Or would it rather go to the zoo and live with its own kind, and let the zoo keepers inspire its wildness?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaoman lowered his head and remained silent.
Hu Ying continued, "I just told you that in the future, the country will do its utmost to repair the ozone layer. When the ozone layer is repaired, all endangered animals will be released into nature to restore the ecological chain of the blue planet."
"The zoo will simulate nature, and when these endangered animals go out into the wild, it will be like going home, and they will be able to quickly adapt to life in the wild. Can the wolf you raise adapt so quickly?"
Xia Xiaoman said: "Maodan doesn't need to go to the outside world. I can feed it. I can take care of it until it grows old."
Hu Ying sighed, "It could have run freely in the simulated natural environment of the zoo, but because of your one thought, it can only live like a pet dog in a square house. Even if it lives and dies peacefully, do you think it will be happy?"
Xia Xiaoman looked down at Maodan who was yawning, "Doctor Hu, you are right. Maodan has the right to choose the life he wants. I was just too anxious and thought too much."
If Maodan wants to go to the zoo, she will support him and go to the zoo to see him when she is free. If Maodan doesn't want to go, she will keep him by her side.
If Maodan is very confused and doesn't know how to choose, then she can find a way to negotiate with the authorities, treat the zoo as a kindergarten, take Maodan to the zoo every day to get along with other pets of the same species, and run between home and zoo without worrying.
In short, Maodan's wishes come first. The life span of a wolf is only a dozen years, and if conditions permit, she hopes that Maodan can live his life happily.
…
After being enlightened by Hu Ying, Xia Xiaoman was not worried about the authorities forcibly taking Maodan away. As for the problems she would face in the future when entering the underground city, she would talk about it later. Now, she had to cherish the time she spent with Maodan and try to be nice to him.
Back home, Xia Xiaoman followed Chen Peiqiong's example and built an igloo. Maodan saw her digging snow and came over to join in the fun. He quickly climbed onto the snow pile and used his claws to dig the snow. He dug until he reached the top and even used his two hind legs.
Xia Xiaoman was using a thin wooden board to cut snow bricks, and was splashed with snow by Maodan. She immediately picked up the board to block her face and shouted at Maodan: "Maodan, go play somewhere else, don't interfere with me building my snow house!"
Maodan turned around when he heard the sound and saw Xia Xiaoman holding a wooden board to cover his face. He thought Xia Xiaoman was playing with him and dug even harder. Soon, Xia Xiaoman's clothes and pants were all covered with snow.
Xia Xiaoman tried to hold back but couldn't bear it any longer. He threw away the wooden board, pounced on Maodan, pinned him to the ground and beat him up.
This unfortunate child must not be treated too well. If you don't beat him for three days, he will tear the roof off the house and is not honest at all!
After being beaten up, Maodan lay on the ground groaning. Suddenly, he stood up and looked into the distance. He smelled a familiar smell and then lay down again groaning.
"Sister Xiaoman, when did you come back?" Xiao Zheyu's voice came from behind.
Xia Xiaoman stopped what she was doing, turned around and asked, "I just came back not long ago, why are you here?"
"Yesterday, Sister Yu'e saw that you hadn't come back yet and was worried that something had happened to you, so she asked us to come to your house every one or two hours to see if you had come back."
As Xiao Zheyu spoke, he went over to help her get the snow bricks. "Sister Xiaoman, I heard from Sister Yu'e that you were in the group at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Why did you come back today?"
"Something unexpected happened. Someone took away Maodan. It took me some effort to chase him."
At this point, Xia Xiaoman remembered something and lowered her voice and said, "Xiao Zheyu, when you have time, please help me check the whereabouts of the two brothers Lu Wu and Lu Bin, and also keep an eye out for news about Yang Weihan."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheyu said, "Sister Xiaoman, are you going to move these people?"
"The other two are still under consideration, but Lu Bin must die!" A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Xia Xiaoman's eyes.
If Lu Bin had not been nosy and had not teamed up with his brother Lu Wu to tell Yang Weihan about Maodan, Maodan would not have been targeted by Yang Weihan, and what happened yesterday would not have happened.
Lu Wu also deserved to die. If he hadn't indulged Lu Bin, there wouldn't have been so many incidents. But Lu Wu was a member of the security team, so she couldn't do anything.
Xiao Zheyu said: "Sister Xiaoman, I can help you deal with these few people. There is no need for you to do it yourself."
Xia Xiaoman frowned, "Don't mess around. Lu Wu is the captain of the security team, and Yang Weihan is an official. If you're not careful, your entire Lingxu Gang will be in trouble. Just help me find out about them, and I'll do the rest."
Xiao Zheyu nodded and said, "Okay! I'll go back first then."
…
After returning to the garrison for two or three days, no official came to see her. Xia Xiaoman guessed that it might be Lu Lanshan who helped her to deal with the subsequent troubles, otherwise she would be in big trouble for taking out the gun in public.
She didn't know why Lu Lanshan wanted to help her, but from what she could see so far, Lu Lanshan had no ill will towards her from beginning to end. Of course, it was also possible that Lu Lanshan was hiding too deeply.
After seven or eight days of clearing the snow, the houses buried in the snow were finally cleared out.
During the last snowstorm, she added a few thick logs under the beams to support them, so that the house did not collapse during this snowstorm. But the scene in the room was really scary, with frost and snow everywhere, it was actually an ice cave.
Xia Xiaoman lit up the kang and fireplace, and lit a few braziers in the corners of the house. Just as the braziers were lit, the roof began to drip with rain.
Since no one could stay in the house for the time being, Xia Xiaoman brought Maodan out to clean the snow in front of the yard.
Half of the greenhouse that Li Yu'e built in her field was blown away by the blizzard, and the remaining half of the debris was buried in the snow.
Fortunately, the cotton had been picked before leaving, otherwise Li Yu'e and her friends would have suffered a great loss.
