Chapter 36 Dialogue between the White Tiger and the Parrot: A Collective Petition for Help (Revised)...
"It costs 8 cents to feed the tiger once."
Gu Yiliu raised an eyebrow and asked the person who had called out for a serving of meat. "Go line up over there."
Many people want to feed the white tiger, but the white tiger doesn't cooperate, so people line up to feed it.
"I want to feed the little white tiger next door," Gu Yiliu said, pointing to the next room.
The man was somewhat surprised. "They don't allow feeding over there. They're too small, and it's not feeding time yet."
Gu Yiliu: "How many times a day do you feed the white tiger cub? How many kilograms of meat do you feed it?"
"Three times a day, in fixed quantities, one pound of meat per meal."
That's only 3 jin of meat that day. So little, no wonder she was hungry. She asked the little white tiger how many months old it was.
"She's almost a year old."
Gu Yiliu then asked, "How many kilograms of meat do you feed the white tiger per meal?"
“Three catties (1.5 catties). Sometimes tourists feed them too much, so they eat less. You don’t need to worry about them going hungry; they eat meat every day.” The man said that tourists often ask him this question, and he basically says these things every day.
Gu Yiliu understood. The zoo wouldn't feed the tiger too much, but it certainly wouldn't let it eat its fill either. No wonder the white tiger he saw was a bit thin.
"I'll buy three pounds of meat from you for that little white tiger, and I'll feed it myself. You can tell your boss so I can feed it now." That amount of meat will be just enough to fill it up.
Gu Yiliu looked at that person.
Wu Daping was taken aback. This had happened occasionally before, and he did need to ask about it. "...Then I'll go ask."
He left quickly.
The white tiger glanced at Wu Daping who had left, rubbed its head against the iron cage, roared at the tourists watching it outside the cage, and then lay down in the middle of the cage.
Its sharp tiger eyes looked at Gu Yiliu.
It had just heard Gu Yilu's words. It couldn't help but look at the wall. Its cub was next door. However, it hadn't seen it for a while since they were separated into different cages.
I wonder if the tiger cub will be able to see this when the woman feeds it later.
Wu Daping returned quickly. "The leader said you can feed them, but you can't feed them too much, only 1 jin (500 grams)."
"Why?"
Upon meeting the woman's slightly cold gaze, Wu Daping paused, feeling an awkward sense of being seen through. "Because the little white tiger is still too young, and has a small stomach, it's easy for him to overeat if he eats too much."
"Your stomach may be small, but its stomach can't be small either."
"..."
Wu Daping silently handed her a box of meat and said, "This is one jin of meat. You can only feed her one jin at a time."
"Then I'll buy it three times."
After Gu Yiliu finished speaking, he immediately put the money in front of Wu Daping and then took three boxes of meat.
"..."
Wu Daping scratched his head, thought for a moment, and decided to take the money since he had already paid. He then took the money and brought the white tiger out. The enclosure where the white tiger lived only had a glass wall; visitors who wanted to throw grenades at it had to take it out separately to feed it.
So Wu Daping took it out and put it in a small cage, right next to the big white tiger's iron cage.
He gestured to Gu Yiliu that it was time to feed him.
Upon seeing the cub, the white tiger immediately stood up, circled the large iron cage, and let out low growls.
Hoo hoo~
"My child, my child..."
Upon hearing the sound, the little white tiger also called out to it frequently, its calls sounding like a cat's, soft and whimpering, as if it were trying to charm the big white tiger.
"Mother……"
It even ignored the meat that Gu Yiliu fed it.
"Roar!?" My child, how are you!?
Gu Yiliu glanced at the white tiger. "It's hungry right now, so don't ask it."
The white tiger's face was blank, and it looked at Gu Yiliu with its mouth half open.
The latter didn't even look at it. This time, the meat that was fed to the little white tiger was quickly bitten off by the little white tiger, which ate one piece after another.
"Wow!" Delicious!
"Eat more if it's delicious."
I don't know if Wu Daping cut the meat, but this pound of meat, cut into slices, is enough for the little white tiger to swallow after just a couple of bites.
The little white tiger was eating happily, unaware that its old mother, the big white tiger, was stunned upon hearing Gu Yilu's words, "Eat more."
The white tiger observed Gu Yiliu, and it felt as if Gu Yiliu could understand what they were saying.
"Hooray!" Give me some too!
The white tiger tentatively let out a roar.
Gu Yiliu picked up a piece of meat and placed it near the white tiger's mouth, which the white tiger quickly ate.
It realized that the woman in front of it could understand it!
"Roar!" You can understand me!
Gu Yiliu nodded, picked up another piece, and intended to feed the big white tiger, but Wu Daping stopped him, "Comrade, this is for feeding the little white tiger, you can't just feed it to him."
Gu Yiliu said "oh" and fed the meat to the little white tiger.
The white tiger was happy even though it had no meat to eat, and it roared excitedly.
"Comrade, I'm so happy! You can actually understand me!"
"Comrade, besides understanding me, can you understand other animals?"
"Comrade, please talk to me! I'm a tiger here every day, and many of you humans are afraid of me."
"Oh right, there are also some really bad people who are very annoying. They take advantage of me to make money and keep hitting me. If it weren't for this cage, I would have torn it apart!"
Gu Yiliu: "...If you say less, you won't even be able to get out of the cage."
"Can you humans keep tigers as pets? Why don't you take care of me and my child?"
Gu Yiliu looked at it and said, "We humans cannot keep wild beasts like tigers as pets."
White Tiger: "Then can you rescue me?"
"The tiger is calling for help..."
Gu Yiliu glanced at the white tiger. "No." Rescuing it was impossible, but she had received another plea for help.
After a moment's thought, she realized that the real problem facing the Great White Tiger was actually the human being.
The white tiger was somewhat disappointed. If it couldn't do either, what would it and its cub do?
The white tiger cried out in despair, "I can't stay here for another second longer!"
It bared its sharp teeth, gritting its teeth as it vehemently denounced its hatred, "Then what can you do? The people here are too clever. If I don't cooperate with them, they know to whip me, and sometimes they even beat my child right in front of me, but I can't touch them!"
Gu Yiliu asked the white tiger, "Has your trainer ever hit you?"
Although the little white tiger was small, it could understand. It barked twice, sounding somewhat like it was complaining.
"Roar!" I've fought! And you still won't give me any food!
Wu Daping walked over and noticed that Gu Yiliu was still talking, and he was talking to the tiger. Even the big white tiger had become much quieter. Out of curiosity, he came over.
Then Gu Yiliu pointed at him and asked the little white tiger, "Little white tiger, did he hit you?"
"We've fought!" the little white tiger roared softly, its face fierce, but it was so small that the action was rather cute.
Wu Daping grunted, "Comrade, are you done feeding it? I'm going to put it back."
Gu Yiliu had indeed finished feeding the tiger cub. She nodded and let Wu Daping take the cub away.
The white tiger watched helplessly as its cub was taken away. Frustrated, it rammed the iron cage, roaring...
"Were you captured by hunters and then sent to this zoo?" Gu Yiliu asked the white tiger.
The white tiger's roar stopped for a moment, then it roared again, its roar deafening.
The tourists watching outside the cage all covered their ears.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!" Yes! They also wanted to take my tiger whip and tiger skin. I bit several of them. Later, I was sent to a rescue station. After giving birth to my child at the rescue station, I came to this zoo. The people in this zoo also abused me and even my child.
"I want to leave!" The white tiger raised its head and looked at her pleadingly.
Gu Yiliu: "I'll think of a way to help you with your situation. If possible, I'll help you find a different zoo."
If possible, she would like to change the zoo director, but that is obviously unlikely, as it is a private zoo.
"Wait for my news." After calming the white tiger, Gu Yiliu went to see the hyacinth macaw, the friend Pigeon had mentioned.
Many tourists come to see it, mostly attracted by its fur.
Gu Yiliu carried the pigeon inside. There he saw where Mao Mao was. Apart from a pole that could stand on, there was only a feeding bowl, and a glass wall prevented Mao Mao from flying away.
It's really too small. Gu Yiliu thought to herself, it's even smaller than what the pigeon said, and she just felt suffocated.
"Coo-coo!" the pigeon cooed.
Mao Mao immediately looked over at them and cheerfully called out, "Bai Bai, you're here!"
So the pigeon is called Bai Bai.
"Coo coo!" I'm here, let me introduce you to a friend.
"Coo coo coo!" Mao Mao, this is Officer Gu, she can understand what we're saying! I brought her here to keep you company.
"Thank you, Bye-bye!"
Mao Mao tilted her head and looked at Gu Yiliu, "Hello, Officer Gu!"
Gu Yiliu was somewhat surprised by its language skills. "Hello, Mao Mao."
"So beautiful!" Mao Mao exclaimed in her unique, almost robotic tone.
Everyone around laughed.
"Haha, praise me too."
"Yes, compliment me! Tell me I'm so pretty."
Mao Mao ignored them. It looked at Gu Yiliu and Bai Bai.
"Coo coo!" Momo, I've come to see if you're happy?
Mao Mao: "Happy!"
"Bai Bai, what's wrong?" It looked at the bandages on Bai Bai's body.
"Coo coo!" That's from a bad guy. Don't go near bad guys.
Mao Mao nodded and repeated, "Bad guy!"
cluck cluck cluck
"Officer Gu, you're helping the big white tiger, so could you help Mao Mao too?"
Bai Bai looked up at Gu Yiliu.
"Help Mao Mao?" Mao Mao tilted her head, puzzled. "Why?"
"Coo coo coo," I don't want you to stay here any longer, so I asked Officer Gu to help you. She just promised the big white tiger in the tiger park that she would help it move to another zoo. Do you want to leave here?
Bai Bai was explaining to Mao Mao.
"I want to fly!" Momo spread its wings, but when it touched the glass wall, it lowered its head in disappointment.
"sad!"
Mao Mao wanted to leave, but it knew it couldn't. It didn't dare to have too many expectations of Gu Yiliu.
Gu Yiliu sighed, but did not refuse. He simply said, "I'll think of a way."
Gu Yiliu talked to it for a long time. She found that Mao Mao was a very talkative parrot, but perhaps because it had been kept in captivity for a long time, its true nature had been suppressed. It was always very pessimistic and would lower its head and fall silent as it talked.
Gu Yiliu lingered for a while before leaving the zoo. She needed to go back and think of a solution.
However, what she didn't expect was...
The next day, she received many requests for help from animals, all of which were from Mao Mao's zoo.
"Officer Gu, I also want to change zoos!" This came from the camel.
"Officer Gu, save me! I don't want to stay in this zoo anymore! They're abusing the bears!" This was a bear's cry.
“Officer Gu, I want to leave too…” This came from the elephant.
Looking at the 20+ requests for help that the system had received, Gu Yiliu was both shocked and ashamed.
Dian Dian was overjoyed, exclaiming, "I've won! I've won! I've won!"
