Chapter 93, "Rescuing the Panda Cubs," received a 91% approval rating.
Gu Yiliu had just arrived at the conservation center when he encountered a giant panda throwing a tantrum.
The zookeeper said it was very fierce, and it would lash out every day during mealtimes, either biting or howling shrilly. The iron cage that confined it rattled loudly as it rammed into it.
The other giant pandas in the center were a bit annoyed by its roars.
"Woof woof woof woof!"
Let me out! Let me out!
"Comrade Gu, what is it saying?"
"It's saying let me out."
Gu Yiliu: "How long has it been since it was rescued?"
Staff member: "It's been almost 10 days. When it was found, it was badly injured. Its ears were bitten, and it was bleeding from multiple places on its body. It was in a very weak state."
“First-class, it just gave birth.” Dian Dian’s voice was full of caution.
Gu Yiliu looked at the tall panda, opened its mouth and bit the iron cage post, but when it found that it could not bite through, it banged its head against the post.
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Bad guys, let me out! I need to go back to my child!"
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!" Let me out!
Gu Yiliu looked at the staff beside him, "It just gave birth, did you bring its puppies back?"
The frenzied panda paused, then slapped the iron cage with its paw, before slowly crouching down, gripping the cage with both hands.
She looked at Gu Yiliu cautiously.
"What?" The staff member didn't react.
Gu Yiliu repeated himself, and the other person was shocked. "What did you say?! When we rescued it, it didn't have any kittens with it!"
The staff told Gu Yiliu to quickly find out where the child was. He then ran off to notify his other colleagues.
They only found out about something so important after so long. A panda cub that's only a few days old... Hopefully, it'll be in time.
Before the staff left, Gu Yiliu asked him what the giant panda was called.
The staff said they would temporarily name him Shengsheng.
Soon only Gu Yiliu remained at the scene. She looked at the giant panda, which had probably heard what they were saying and was now watching her warily.
It saw her looking at it and even yelled at her.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!" Bad guys, let me out!
"I'm not a bad person."
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Bad man, bad woman, let me out!"
This is an indiscriminate attack!
Gu Yiliu looked at the giant panda: "Sheng Sheng, I know you can understand me, and I can understand you. You just gave birth, right?"
The giant panda Sheng Sheng's eyes followed Gu Yiliu's movements, finally settling on her.
It opened its mouth fiercely, shouting and threatening, "Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Bad guy, let me out right now! Or I'll eat you!"
Gu Yiliu listened to its roar up close, and the stimulation to his eardrums was undeniably intense.
She always has a quick, accurate, and ruthless way of dealing with people and animals who are not calm.
A wisp of electricity emanated from Gu Yiliu's fingertip as she gently touched the iron cage.
The giant panda's eyes showed terror as it watched helplessly as the electric current flowed into its body.
An electric current passed through the giant panda Sheng Sheng's body. Sheng Sheng shook his head in fear, trying to shake off the current, but to no avail.
In just one second, the giant panda was lying on the ground, rolling around violently.
The electric current made it unbearably itchy.
Its mouth was open, and the expression on its face was unclear—it was hard to tell whether it was laughing or crying.
"Baa baa baa!" It tickles, it tickles so much! Ahhh, I can't take it anymore! Stop it!
Gu Yiliu knew when to stop. The electric current she released was barely more than a tickle.
The giant panda, realizing the itch had subsided, quickly got up from the ground and hid far away from Gu Yiliu, retreating to a corner.
"Are you still going to eat me?" Gu Yiliu met its shocked and terrified black and white eyes. "You can try it too, then I can pull out your teeth, do you believe me?"
The giant panda stared blankly at it, and the scene fell silent for a moment. Suddenly, the giant panda shook its head vigorously from side to side, "Woof woof woof woof? I won't eat you! Can you help me?"
It is now very afraid of Gu Yiliu, afraid that she will shock it. But it is still caught between believing and disbelieving her.
It knew that although she was even more ferocious than it, only she could understand its speech. It had been barking here for a long time and was angry every day. Everyone who passed by it didn't know what was wrong with it, but she did, and even took the initiative to tell the staff about it.
The panda's eyes were brimming with tears. "Mwah mwah mwah?" Can you help me?
It spoke softly, afraid she wouldn't agree.
"Baa baa baa." I have a baby in the wild, and I'm worried about it. Please help me and let it go, okay?
Gu Yiliu looked at the issued police report and clicked confirm. "Okay, I'll talk to the leader of this center."
The giant panda Sheng Sheng paced back and forth anxiously. It looked at Gu Yiliu, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating, and finally just kept rubbing its head on the ground.
"Dian Dian, are its babies still alive?" Gu Yiliu asked Dian Dian.
"He's still alive, but the situation isn't good. You'd better hurry."
Gu Yiliu nodded heavily in agreement.
When the staff member arrived with his colleagues and superiors, Gu Yiliu said directly, "Let it go and let it find its child on its own."
Gu Yiliu looked at one of the men wearing glasses, who was clearly the leader.
The bespectacled man, Tang Jianxiang, was taken aback, but Gu Yiliu's expression was serious. He then looked at the giant panda Sheng Sheng, who was in the cage, shaking the iron cage.
With a determined look, Tang Jianxiang agreed, "Okay, tell everyone to stay away, and leave one person to open the iron cage door."
Soon, a staff member unlocked the iron cage. The giant panda inside waited until the staff member who opened the door ran away before it flung the cage door open with one paw.
"Meow meow meow!" Thank you, Officer Gu!
Sheng Sheng thanked Gu Yiliu and then immediately ran away.
"Sheng Sheng... is very smart and has a great sense of intelligence." Tang Jianxiang said with emotion as he watched Sheng Sheng's retreating figure.
Gu Yiliu: "That's natural. Animals are actually just like humans."
"Let's follow them and see."
Tang Jianxiang had the same idea, so he had the two veterinarians come along as well, and also brought some milk for panda cubs.
Shengsheng ran quickly and hurried along, but judging from its pace, it was clear that it knew the children's exact direction. When it noticed they were following, it only glanced back at them.
After walking for about half an hour, we arrived at a cave around noon.
Sheng Sheng turned her head and glanced at them, then sternly told them to leave before disappearing into the cave.
Gu Yiliu looked at it from a distance. The cave was a very rough stone cave with only a few dry grasses and nothing else. It must have been the makeshift delivery room that Shengsheng found when she was about to give birth.
Not long after he crawled inside, Gu Yiliu heard Sheng Sheng's sharp screams.
"Woof woof woof woof!" Officer Gu, save my child, please save my child!
The sound was so shrill that it was clear something was wrong.
"What happened? Did something happen to the child?" Tang Jianxiang asked anxiously, with a hint of regret.
Gu Yiliu: "No." She lifted her foot and walked towards the stone cave, and the others quickly followed.
But as it approached the cave, it suddenly walked out of it, a small panda still in its mouth, and it warily watched the people behind Gu Yiliu.
They approached, and it retreated.
Gu Yiliu: "Am I the only one who can get through?"
He stopped in his tracks and looked at her.
Gu Yiliu understood what it meant. She told Tang Jianxiang and the others to wait where they were, and then she went over.
Sure enough, Sheng Sheng did not retreat again. She even took the initiative to approach Gu Yiliu and handed the cub in her mouth to Gu Yiliu.
When the cub landed in his hands, Gu Yiliu felt that its body temperature was icy cold and its body was still damp, probably because he had just licked its fur. He could barely sense its breath.
Gu Yiliu looked behind him, "Do you have a hot water bottle?"
“…Yes!” A veterinarian ran over with a hot water bottle.
After running over, she was startled to see the giant panda eyeing her menacingly. However, although Sheng Sheng didn't welcome her, it didn't chase her away either.
Gu Yiliu placed the panda cub on his clothes, and then used a hot water bottle to warm the cub through the clothes.
The giant panda watched them with obvious tension. It paced back and forth restlessly, circling around them.
Once the cubs' body temperature returned to normal, the veterinarian quickly fed them milk.
Half an hour later, the cub's chest could be seen rising and falling with the naked eye as it breathed, and its vital signs stabilized.
Sheng Sheng leaned closer and licked the fur of the cub in Gu Yiliu's hands, then looked at her with his clear eyes, and then at the veterinarians and others surrounding him.
Gu Yiliu and the others understood that Sheng Sheng was very grateful to them, so it accepted everyone present.
Tang Jianxiang was very happy. He looked at the panda cub and then at Sheng Sheng. "The cub needs nutrition. We'll take the cub back to the center. You can come back with us too. Is that alright?"
Sheng Sheng glanced at Gu Yiliu, but didn't bark. It just nodded its big head at Tang Jianxiang.
This gesture made everyone present laugh.
Finally, Gu Yiliu and the others took Sheng Sheng and the panda cub back to the center.
Tang Jianxiang grinned from ear to ear, "Yiliu, we owe you so much this time. You're not only our lucky star, but also the lucky star of these animals!"
He saw everything and trusted her completely.
"I'll take you to meet the other giant pandas."
Gu Yiliu nodded and followed him.
During this exchange, Gu Yiliu discovered that the pandas' troubles were all quite similar.
The center rescues 36 pandas. Many of the pandas come to her and tell her that the food is too bad. They then express what they want to eat, such as cake, bamboo (especially bamboo from a particular region), meat, steamed buns, and two pandas even asked for candy, just like children.
There are also complaints about the zookeepers. Some pandas with obsessive-compulsive disorder about being sloppy, some complain that the zookeepers talk too much, some complain that the zookeepers fart all the time, and some complain that the zookeepers don't play with them.
Gu Yiliu diligently conveyed the pandas' sentiments.
I received 4% positive reviews during the process, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.
When Gu Yiliu finally left, many pandas were reluctant to part with her, especially Sheng Sheng, a tall and beautiful panda who was 1.8 meters tall. She shook her head and acted cute, "Mwah, baa, baa?" Officer Gu, will you come to see us again in the future?
Gu Yiliu didn't know, "Probably."
Sheng Sheng was somewhat disappointed. "I will miss you. You must come to see us in the future."
Gu Yiliu was also a little affected by the feeling of parting. "Okay, I will come to see you and all of you. Eat well, sleep well, and be happy every day."
Sheng Sheng kept bleating when it heard this, and it couldn't bear to look after Yi Liu.
Even though she was reluctant to leave, Gu Yiliu had to go. She took He Gaogao with her. Unlike the other giant pandas who were sad, He Gaogao was very happy because it was going to go with Gu Yiliu.
Before leaving, Liang Gang walked awkwardly to Gu Yiliu.
"What's wrong?"
Liang Gang: "Could I... go with you, but..."
Gu Yiliu listened quietly.
"But I'm not used to being outside. Could you take me back?"
Gu Yiliu laughed. "The people at the center allow you to come with me?" She can take Liang Gang with her; two giant pandas, a perfect pair. She can have one each from the city's two zoos—perfect.
As for whether the center will allow her to take it away, there is no doubt about that.
“You said you’re not used to being outside and want me to take you back, then you might as well not have come with me in the first place,” Gu Yiliu said. “If you come with me, you’ll end up in a zoo, behind glass or fences, where lots of people will come to see you every day. You’ll be so lively and active that you’ll find it boring.”
She rubbed its big head. "Don't be fickle."
Liang Gang's simple-minded expression froze for a moment, making him look even more adorable.
It hadn't considered whether the people at the center would allow it to go with Gu Yiliu. As for boredom, it knew that, but life was the most important thing.
It looked up at Gu Yiliu's face; she seemed unwilling to take it away.
It couldn't help but look at He Gaogao, feeling a little envious.
"Meow meow meow?" Officer Gu, I really want to go with you, can you take me away?
Why do you want to come with me?
"Baa baa baa." Because you can understand what I'm saying, I can tell you directly if anything happens to me, and I think you're a very good person, very good to Gao Gao, very good to Sheng Sheng, very good to many pandas, and I think you'll be very good to me too. I want to go with you.
It loved the wild, where it was free and happy, but it also loved the rescue station, where it didn't go hungry. However, the people at the rescue station wanted to send it back to the wild; if it didn't go back, it would have to go to the center, which it wasn't familiar with at all, and it didn't want to go. It felt more comfortable with Officer Gu than it did at the center.
We received a request for help from giant panda Liang Gang...
Gu Yiliu hadn't expected to receive a request for help from Liang Gang. She also glanced at the positive review rate; she already had 91% positive reviews, and with Liang Gang's, it would reach 92%.
"Okay, I'll take you away."
Liang Gang's eyes sparkled, "Baa baa baa!" Thank you, Officer Gu!
Gu Yiliu smiled. He could teleport when he came, but he couldn't leave. Two giant pandas would be too conspicuous. Gu Yiliu hired a truck and took the two giant pandas back to Yaohai City.
She needs to get back as soon as possible, or she'll miss the wedding!
A wedding can't be without a bride!
