Chapter 51
The quokka is endangered partly due to habitat loss and changing fire patterns, but the main reason is predation by wild animals. The young are being lost one by one, and the number is getting smaller and smaller until it is endangered.
Wen Youning stood up and returned the cub to the quokka.
The cub doesn't look too young and can already live outside the pouch. The cub was sent back intact, and the spare tire in the quokka mother's pouch should not have developed.
The mother quokka has already crawled inside.
This is a place it trusts more, otherwise it would have disappeared long ago and would not be hiding and observing in secret.
There were bushes all over the place, and Wen Youning would surely collapse them if she went in, so she stopped outside and put the quokka baby down, "I'll put it here for you."
When the quokka heard the sound, it looked over carefully, but didn't dare to come over as it saw Wen Youning.
Wen Youning tugged at the cuffs of her protective suit. The room temperature here was not like the air conditioner at home, which was set to the lowest setting. It was adjusted according to the most suitable temperature for the quokka's daily living environment.
In this case, it is easy to get hot while wearing full protective clothing.
The quokka with a sticky tooth is standing at Wen Youning's feet. The little guy has a natural smiling face and can imitate some simple human movements. He is very cute.
"ah!"
Don't be afraid!
This is a good human being!
The quokka with a piece of stuff in its teeth tapped Wen Youning's protective suit with its short paws to show it to its companions.
"He is also a very good healer."
Wen Youning squatted down and touched the little kangaroo, and corrected him: "It's not one, it's one."
"ah!"
Okay, it’s one!
The quokka doesn't understand, but the quokka will repeat!
【Baby, you are a cute mouse! 】
[Are there any groups going to Australia? I'm ready to go out on the streets and kidnap people.]
[Can I keep it at home? This is very important to me. ]
"You can't keep it as a domestic animal." Wen Youning rubbed the quokka's jaw with her fingertips. The mouse squinted its eyes and raised its head high, nestling comfortably in her arms. "The quokka is on the Red List of Endangered Species."
"Moreover, it has now been listed on the Red List of Endangered Species by the World Conservation Union. Not only can it not be kept as a domestic animal, it cannot be bought or sold."
The quokka fumbled out a leaf from somewhere and chewed it while listening to Wen Youning talk.
It looks delicious.
A little cutie who can be deceived by just a leaf.
Wen Youning nodded the little guy's head through the protective suit and said, "If you like them, you can go to the zoo to see them."
Just search in advance which zoo in the country has quokkas before you go, and buy a ticket.
Find out in advance to avoid buying tickets in vain because the local zoo doesn’t have it.
Qian Nuo didn't dare get close to the quokka again. If she scared another one and its cub fell out, she would have nowhere to cry.
Wen Youning tugged at the collar of her protective suit. It was one-piece and not breathable, and she felt a little stuffy after staying there for a long time. Before the fog came up, she put down the quokka and said, "Let's go. Let's go out first."
If you stay any longer, you'll get heatstroke.
Qian Nuo nodded, holding on to his protective suit and staggering out.
The quokka nibbled at leaves, quietly followed after them for a few steps, stopped, and walked a few more steps until the door closed and Wen Youning could no longer be seen. It licked its lips and shouted, "Ah!"
Come again next time!
Wen Youning could hear this clearly even though she was wearing protective clothing, and she smiled and replied, "Okay."
---
On the day of departure.
Wen Youning got up early and prepared to check and fill in the gaps in the things that needed to be prepared at home.
The flight was booked in the evening, so there was plenty of time.
“Woof woof!”
"Woof!"
'Want to go?'
'Are you going up or not? Go, go, go!'
The barking of dogs outside the house was getting louder and louder, and the voices in my heart were rising and falling, sounding like I was wondering whether I should rush up and fight.
"Don't pounce on people." Wen Youning came out of the kitchen, holding dried meat in her hand to feed the kestrel.
She thought it would be Zhao Ziyi or other staff members of the park, people that the dog had never seen before. At least Qian Nuolai would not have such a violent reaction.
Lin Baiyu stood outside the courtyard and nodded slightly at Wen Youning, "Teacher Wen."
"Mr. Lin, why are you here so early?" Wen Youning walked over to take the dogs that were blocking the door and opened the gate. "Is your leg okay?"
The last time Lin Baiyu came, he was still in a wheelchair.
"Yes. He was able to stand up a while ago, but the doctor told him to move less, so he used a wheelchair."
"Come in first." Wen Youning turned sideways and looked back to see that the rock wolf had followed out at some point.
This time, Gaocas saw that Lin Boyu did not pounce, but just narrowed his eyes and his brows were slightly wrinkled.
It looked back silently.
Wen Youning's hand was firmly pressed on the Caucasian's head. Before it could speak, she rubbed it and said, "You will be able to remove the plaster soon."
The treatment time is different, and the recovery time will naturally be different.
"Woo."
Gaocasus raised his head slightly, and his nose brushed against Wen Youning's wrist. He suddenly lowered his voice, and stared at the man walking in front of him, "Woo..."
Lin Baiyu subconsciously took two quick steps forward to get out of the attack range, and the Caucasian's growl also stopped.
Wen Youning: "???"
【Good cooperation. 】
[Hahaha, it feels so good to be rubbed. Mr. Lin still has to hum before he goes over.]
[I know that love and hate are clearly divided, but I didn’t expect it to be so clear. ]
…
The rock wolf licked her wrist and said, "Woof."
'fine. '
Wen Youning walked into the room and said, "Let me tell you some daily precautions first."
Lin Baiyu nodded, "Okay."
The most important thing is the three meals a day. Wen Youning took Lin Baiyu into the kitchen first, pointed at the refrigerator and said, "The staple food is here. I have divided it into portions for each meal."
He then opened the cabinet and said, "Here are the snacks. I have labeled them all."
"besides……"
From staple foods and snacks to side dishes, it took nearly half an hour just to talk about the kitchen.
After I had explained everything I needed to pay attention to, it was almost time to leave for the airport. Zhao Ziyi was already waiting at the door in his car.
Wen Youning finally picked up Little Lihua and warned her, "As for the white lion, I've already told it that it won't bite you, but it might scare you. To be on the safe side, don't go in and get in close contact with it, so it doesn't bite you when we're playing."
【? This is so funny. Teacher Wen is really worried about Mr. Lin being here.】
[If you hadn’t told me this, I wouldn’t have dared to do it. The person taking the photo said that wild animals don’t bite people, so I didn’t dare stand up to take the photo.]
Wen Youning rubbed Hong Kun and said, "Then there's the issue of salary. I know you're not short of money, but I can't let you work for nothing. I'll calculate based on the highest average daily salary of the park staff."
Lin Baiyu asked: "How much?"
"About...less than a thousand a day." According to normal wages, this amount of money is already at the upper-middle level.
But considering Lin Boyu's net worth, the money he spends with just a breath or a word is in tens of thousands.
"Okay." Lin Baiyu picked up the phone and said, "I've turned around. Be careful on the road."
"Hmm, ah?" Wen Youning's phone dinged, and the money was transferred directly from Alipay to her account, "?"
Is this correct?
Zhao Ziyi's voice came from outside, "Teacher Wen, we have to get ready to leave."
"Okay." Wen Youning put down the little lynx, picked up the red falcon, handed the money back and said, "I'm paying you. Sorry for troubling you these few days."
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave. She caught a glimpse of the live broadcast equipment following her. Thinking of the live broadcast, she said, "By the way, I'll take a few days off for the live broadcast."
【？ ？ ？】
[How dare you! I don't like hearing this kind of talk, I advise you to withdraw it immediately! ]
Wen Youning said helplessly: "It's not easy to live broadcast outside, and the panda park is strict about cameras, so I simply don't bring any."
[That is indeed true. It makes some sense.]
[Wait, it’s not convenient to live stream in the zoo’s panda house, so what does that have to do with you going to the wild to find giant pandas? ]
[Yes, what does seeing wild giant pandas have to do with the strict management of the panda house? ]
【Don't even think about being lazy! 】
…
The screen was filled with question marks.
Wen Youning was rushing to catch the plane. After thinking for a while, she said, "Then I'll stop the live broadcast for now. I'll resume the live broadcast after the plane lands and I get there. Let's go."
As soon as I walked out of the yard, I could see Zhao Ziyi's car at a glance.
When she went out for a few days, she only brought simple luggage, which consisted of some spare clothes and other things. Because she often dealt with small animals, Wen Youning never used any cosmetics and at most she brought two bottles of lotion.
Zhao Ziyi put the suitcase into the trunk and said, "Get in the car, Teacher Wen."
"Yeah." Wen Youning sat in the passenger seat. The animals at home were gathered in the yard. She waved and said, "See you in a few days."
“Woof—”
"Meow,"
The moment the door closed, the rock wolf standing next to Lin Boyu turned around and pounced.
Wen Youning turned around and saw only the puppy wagging its tail.
And the little tabby cat standing on the wall licking its paws.
---
You can now check in online when flying.
If you don't have any overweight luggage or oversized suitcases, just go through security and wait at the airport.
Only Wen Youning and Zhao Ziyi were seconded this time.
Wen Youning held onto the suitcase handle and looked at Zhao Ziyi who had returned from buying coffee.
Zhao Ziyi said, "We came early, so we have to wait a while. I'll go check in your luggage first. Teacher Wen, you sit here for a while."
It is better to travel early rather than late. If you are too tight on time, you might encounter a traffic jam on the way, or if you are unlucky, your car will break down. If one link goes wrong, you will be late, unable to board the plane, or have to change your flight ticket.
This time they were on a business trip at the zoo's expense, and they would have to include it in the report if they were late and missed the plane, which was very troublesome.
There are two airports in City A, and the airport chosen for this trip is not very large.
At some large airports, it takes more than an hour to walk from the moment you get off the bus to the security checkpoint.
Wen Youning was scrolling through her phone out of boredom. She preferred to stay with the little animals rather than playing with her phone.
I brought a small mAh power bank in my backpack and fully charged it, but when I’m not live streaming, the battery in my phone will never be fully used up.
There was a shadow passing over her head. Wen Youning raised her head and moved the suitcase towards herself. She saw the old man walking in front of her, dragging a stack of airline boxes in his hands and passing in front of her.
The door of the upper aviation box was opened, and a white Maltese tried to hook the edge of the box with its claws, with its belly facing up and half of its body sliding out.
"Old man, your dog..."
The old man walked slowly to begin with, and now he stopped completely and said, "It's not a dog, it should be called a canine."
Wen Youning paused, then followed the old man's words and said, "Then your dog is doing pull-ups."
If you wait any longer, your abdominal muscles will be developed.
"What?" The old man looked back, clapped his hands, exclaimed, and quickly picked up Maltese.
Maltese is a small dog breed, also known as "Maltese Angel".
It originated from the British territory of Malta in the Mediterranean, hence its name.
An elegant and beautiful long-haired dog whose hair can even be used to braid pigtails.
The owner can give the Maltese a variety of hairstyles.
This dog has a pink bow on its braids and is very well cared for.
The old man carried the airline box to the table next to him, put the Maltese in it, fiddled with the lock of the airline box for a while, then picked up the airline box and left.
"Just left?"
Wen Youning watched the old man leave and said, "Yes, he left."
After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment, eh?
Wen Youning suddenly lowered her head and saw another airline box that the old man had forgotten was quietly placed on a small luggage cart rented at the airport.
No noise, no crying, no shouting.
Even the inner voice seemed a little bland: "Are you not going to raise it anymore?"
"Grandpa doesn't support me anymore, what about mom? Mom doesn't support me either?"
"Are you really not going to keep it?"
Maltese are very noisy, especially when no one is around, they will whine non-stop. The personalities of these two raised by the old man are quite rare.
"He just forgot." Wen Youning stood up and sent a message to Zhao Ziyi, "Let's go, I'll take you there."
Maltese: “?”
Is someone talking to Wang?
If the small cart at the airport is not returned, the deposit will be deducted, so Wen Youning simply dragged the cart over.
Pet check-in and luggage check-in are not far away.
There weren't many people queuing.
When Wen Youning came over, the old man had already gone in to fill out the forms, and the airline box was placed next to him.
"Old man, your dog." Wen Youning picked up another airline box and placed it side by side on the table.
The old man was a little slow to react. When he saw two identical airline boxes with two Maltese dogs inside that only had different hairstyles, he slapped his head and said, "Oh, I forgot. I'm old and my memory is not good. Usually my daughter takes care of these things. She is at the luggage check-in. I came here on my own initiative to save time. Thanks to you. Thank you, little girl, for taking the trouble to come all the way here to deliver them to me."
Wen Youning: "You're welcome. I'm glad the puppy is okay."
There are staff to help guide you when it comes to pet consignment, and teach you step by step how to do it and how to fill in the form.
There were many airline boxes that had already been processed and were waiting to be put on the plane. The puppies inside were quiet, but some were barking non-stop.
The voice in my heart never stopped.
Wen Youning didn't even need to concentrate and listen carefully, the voices of the little animals came to her one after another.
'When will the fool come back?'
"Didn't you say that I would see my dad after a good night's sleep? I've slept for quite a while, meow."
"I miss my mom..."
'Dad, you have to come pick up Wang soon.'
'Stop laughing! You are blind!'
…
Among the many voices expressing longing for their master, the only one with a hint of emotion stands out particularly clearly.
Still a dog with a bad temper.
“Woof woof!”
Take it away!
On the table, the Chihuahua in the airline box was barking outside, with its two front paws stepping on the outside. After barking twice, it circled around and went back inside, scratching the plastic airline box with its claws to express its dissatisfaction.
The chestnut Chihuahua's eyes already looked very round, and now because of anger, it seemed as if both eyes were about to bulge out.
Chihuahua, one of the smallest pet dogs in the world, carries the greatest anger in the world!
"Do you want your sister to come in and accompany you?" The girl held up her phone and live-streamed the intimate scene of the Chihuahua. "Look, family, Tiandou really misses me. He often flies around the world with me. This is the first time he wants me to come in the airline box to accompany him."
[What a good dog. It would be very happy if its owner was on the road. 】
[Host, why don't you try to buy a ticket that allows you to bring your pet on board? ]
[It's so warm, it's like I've returned to the time when I wasn't a vicious woman. ]
"No, sweetie, I can't be with you." The girl coaxed her puppy softly, "You have to take the plane by yourself. But I promise you, I will be the first one to rush out to pick you up after we get off the plane, okay?"
"Woof!"
Who's with you!
It scratched angrily, 'Give it back to me! Give me back my mat!'
The girl frowned, "Sweet Bean, don't make noise. There are so many people here. Keep your voice down. If you disturb everyone, my sister will be angry."
“Woof woof woof——!”
Wen Youning walked up to him unknowingly, "That..."
The girl looked up at the voice, nodded politely, and then turned her attention back to the Chihuahua. Then she raised her eyes quickly, "You, you, you...are you the one from the Internet? Teacher Wen?"
The girl's voice rose unconsciously, but luckily there were only the calls of small animals nearby, so her voice was relatively quiet.
Although the question was a question, the girl said it with certainty, "Hello, hello, I didn't expect to meet you here, I'm so lucky. My name is Ling Shican, and I'm a pet anchor. I often watch your live broadcast."
Pet-raising anchors on the same platform often visit Wen Youning’s live broadcast room. If they are lucky enough to connect to the microphone, they can also make a show to increase their fans.
Even if you can't connect via microphone, you can still learn some pet knowledge. Only pet owners know how important it is to know a reliable veterinarian.
Wen Youning: "Hello."
The Chihuahua rolled his eyes, 'No, OK.'
"Wang will die here today!"
Ling Shican's eyes curved, thinking about what happened just now, and asked hurriedly: "What did you want to say just now?"
"What I want to say is that your Chihuahua is asking you for a mat." Wen Youning looked at the Chihuahua that was baring its teeth until it was tired.
"Mat?" Ling Shican looked at the Chihuahua, "You mean..."
Wen Youning nodded, "It scratched the airline box because it was too hard and uncomfortable to sleep in. If you don't give it a cushion, it will crash to death in it."
After a pause, she added: "It should be said in a fit of rage."
Chihuahuas just have a bad temper, they are not stupid.
Ling Shican: "...So, it can't bear to leave me? Then did it just do that to ask me to go in?"
"Yes."
Ling Shican was touched: "It still has a heart..."
"Let you go in and experience how hard it is to sleep."
Ling Shican: “…”
silence.
[Fuck! Give me back my tears! ]
[I thought: the separation between the owner and the pet, but in reality: the Chihuahua was protesting because it was uncomfortable sleeping in the airline box.]
【This is an angle I have never thought of. 】
[Wen, You, Ning! Is it appropriate to show up in other people's live broadcast rooms without broadcasting yourself? ! ]
Because of Wen Youning's appearance, the popularity of Ling Shican's live broadcast room quickly rose.
Wen Youning finished the last sip of coffee, crushed the cup and threw it into the trash can. "I saw they sell cushions over there. If you don't have any, you can go buy one."
"Woof!"
that is!
"Why don't you bring one? Let Wang handle it?"
"There is a mat at home. I kept it in the airline box and never took it out. Last time I took it out to wash it, I put it on the balcony and forgot to put it back." Ling Shican didn't remember it at all. After all, he flew well before, but something went wrong today.
Facing the Chihuahua's round eyes, Ling Shican apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry, Tiandou, I've wronged you. I'll go buy one right now. Come on, I'll take you to choose. Buy whichever one you like."
"Woof!"
It’s long overdue!
Ling Shican carried the airline box and said, "Teacher Wen, I'm going to go first. I'm afraid I won't be able to board the plane in time."
"Well, go ahead." Wen Youning looked at the time and saw that it was almost time to check in for her flight, so she turned around and went back to meet Zhao Ziyi.
---
There was already a long queue at the boarding gate.
Zhao Ziyi did not queue up, but looked around outside. When he saw Wen Youning approaching, he immediately went to greet him, "Teacher Wen, let's board the plane this way."
Wen Youning saw that everyone was queuing up, and the broadcast didn't seem to mention this flight, "Can we board the plane?"
"Sure, we'll board the first-class cabin early." Zhao Ziyi shrugged. "I don't know why the leader suddenly got so kind and upgraded our cabin."
The price of first class is 2.5 times that of economy class, and only economy class is reimbursed for business trips.
Zhao Ziyi took the luggage with a smile, "Thanks to Teacher Wen."
The park is very stingy when it comes to travel reimbursement, after all, the money is spent on the animals' food.
Save where you can and spend where you can.
The first class seats are more spacious.
There were no people boarding the plane early.
Wen Youning sat down, turned on the flight mode on her phone, and closed her eyes to rest.
We will land in City B tomorrow morning. It is almost dawn now and I have to sleep on the plane tonight.
You need to get enough rest before going to look for giant pandas.
Zhao Ziyi wanted to say something, but after putting away his suitcase, he turned around and saw that Wen Youning had closed her eyes. He then slowed down his movements, pulled down the curtains, and tiptoed back to his seat.
…
Overnight flight.
Wen Youning got off the plane and couldn't help yawning.
I drank coffee before boarding the plane, and I couldn’t sleep at all during the first half of the flight. After eating the airplane meal, I went to sleep only when it was dawn.
If you think about it carefully, it feels like I didn’t sleep for very long.
"Teacher Wen, because there are too many doctors on loan, if we go into the mountains together we're afraid the giant pandas will be scared and won't come out, so we've divided them into several teams and sent them separately." As soon as Zhao Ziyi got off the plane, his cell phone kept beeping. He picked out the useful information and told Wen Youning first.
"I've added the person in charge of our team. Can I create a group and arrange a time to go over?"
"Okay." Time was short and the task was heavy, so Wen Youning didn't delay any longer and said, "Let's make an appointment for half an hour later. Let's go to the hotel to drop off the luggage first, and then we'll go directly there."
The hotel we stayed in was very close to the zoo, only a dozen minutes' walk away.
Half an hour is the time it takes to drop off the luggage at the hotel and then go to City B Wildlife Park to meet the person in charge.
Sitting in the car on the way to the hotel, Wen Youning turned on the live broadcast, "We just landed, I will take you to see wild pandas later."
[Great! The panda issue has been bothering me for a long time. I really can’t bear to see small animals suffer.]
[Are you in such a hurry? Why don’t you take a break first? Although I also want to see the pandas, going up the mountain right after landing is a bit too much exercise. ]
The driver was obviously not surprised to see tourists from other places come to see the pandas. Ninety percent of the people he picked up from the airport were going to the zoo to see the pandas.
But... as for wild giant pandas, the driver laughed and said, "Are you here to look for wild giant pandas? They are not easy to find. They are hiding in the deep mountains."
"If you want to see wild giant pandas, you have to rely on fate and wait for the pandas to come down the mountain on their own."
The driver chatted while driving, "There was a news report before, that a giant panda came down the mountain and went into a farmer's yard to beat a dog, and also broke into a pigpen and beat up the pigs, but didn't eat them, so it stole the pigpen and slept in it. That happened in our village."
"We often see giant pandas coming into the village asking for food."
"Later, someone came to educate us and said that feeding too much would make the pandas dependent, so they stopped us from feeding them."
The driver suggested: "If you want to find wild giant pandas, you can go to our village. We have farmhouses there, and they are all very well maintained."
Wen Youning found it very interesting and said, "Well, I'll definitely go and see it if I have the chance."
【Hahahaha, the ultimate plan is revealed. 】
[The publicity for my hometown is here, but, it is a farmhouse where giant pandas will come in. I declare that I am very interested. 】
[It's just a giant panda, what's the big deal? Where is the humanity, where is the morality, where is the address and the payment link for the farmhouse?! ]
…
As we were talking, the taxi stopped in front of the hotel.
As soon as Wen Youning got off the car, a girl with a high ponytail came over with a smile, "Teacher Wen, right? I'm Fu Siya, the leader of our A City team this time."
Zhao Ziyi was surprised when he saw someone and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Didn't you say that we would go directly into the mountains to look for pandas when we arrived? I came here in advance to wait for you. This hotel has a cooperation with our park, and the disinfection room is the same as the park. You can disinfect here first, and then go in together." Fu Siya raised her hand and said, "Let's go, hurry up, the other groups have gone in."
Some things, once divided into groups and looking at the results, will inexplicably arouse people's desire to win.
It’s not a big deal, but I always feel that whoever finds the sick wild giant panda first will be very impressive.
You don't have to unpack your luggage and pack it thoroughly, just push it into the room.
On the contrary, disinfection is more time-consuming.
[No, do you want to let us out first after disinfection? ]
[Will the live broadcast equipment break down? Will it be corroded? ]
[I strongly suspect that Mr. Wen is planning to take this opportunity to completely cancel the live broadcasts in the next few days! ]
"How could that be?" Wen Youning came out of the disinfection room, already wearing professional mountaineering clothes, and wiped the traces on the live broadcast equipment with a tissue, "To be on the safe side, let's disinfect together."
The live broadcast equipment looks fragile and easy to break, but after disinfection, the live broadcast equipment is still intact and even becomes reflective due to wiping.
Fu Siya was waiting at the door of the disinfection room. When she saw the two people coming out, she hurriedly said something to the person on the other end of the phone.
After hanging up the phone, he walked over and saw the ball in Wen Youning's hand and smiled, "This is the live broadcast device, right?"
As the person in charge and receptionist of this mission, it is most basic for her to understand the person she is about to receive, especially since Wen Youning is a live broadcaster, so there is a more convenient way to get to know her. She also watched several of Wen Youning's live broadcast replays.
She knew about live streaming equipment, but the equipment itself could not be photographed, so Fu Siya found it quite novel.
Wen Youning asked, "Well, can we do a live broadcast when we go into the mountains?"
Fu Siya: "Of course, there is no strict requirement, you can do whatever you want. Just be careful not to let wild animals take it away." There is a 99% chance that things that are taken away by small animals and thrown into the forest will never be found.
"Also, I'd like to remind you not to act rashly once you enter the forest, and make sure you don't leave my sight. It's very dangerous in there." Fu Siya gave a warning. As a local, she often went in and out of this forest, and was a layer of safety guarantee for newcomers.
After that, Fu Siya gave each of them a wild animal sonic repellent device and said, "Take this with you and use it when you encounter danger. If there are no other questions, then let's set off."
Wen Youning felt that she had no use for it, but she still hung it on her body. It was quite small and not heavy, so she treated it as a decoration.
[People can't hear any sound when this button is turned on, so it's the sound waves that scare the beasts away, right? ]
[There's such a thing!? Then I can walk sideways in front of wild animals with this. ]
[Tigers, lions, and brown bears say: You may not be able to walk sideways, but you can enter the stomach vertically. ]
…
The zoo is located some distance away from where wild giant pandas can be observed.
Wen Youning hadn't slept well on the plane that night, and she was sitting in the back seat of the car. As the car was stuck in traffic and shaking, she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes.
Fortunately, the car stopped at the foot of the mountain before she fell asleep completely.
——Saying it’s the foot of the mountain is not quite accurate. When you drive up the mountain road, cars can’t go any further up.
Wen Youning pinched her brows, put a piece of mint candy in her mouth, got out of the car and looked at the lush trees that blocked out the sun. Being in a nature reserve, she could breathe the fresh air of nature.
Zhao Ziyi asked, "Is there a route map?"
Fu Siya raised her index finger and shook it, "No, but I did take photos of where I walked but didn't find any traces of giant pandas."
She opened the group chat and slid her finger upwards. "So many people are looking together, but they still can't find a single hair of the giant panda. We have our work to look for. Teacher Wen, you... eh? Teacher Wen, what are you doing?"
Wen Youning stood under the tree, looking up and staring at it intently.
Fu Siya followed and looked up curiously, "Is there anything?"
"There's a squirrel." Wen Youning raised her hand and tapped the tree trunk gently. "I see you, little guy. Can we chat?"
Before the squirrel made any movement, Fu Siya was stunned.
No, are you going to make it so big right from the start?
She looked back at the floating live broadcast equipment, and thought of the live broadcast content of Wen Youning that she had watched, and thought... maybe it was for the show effect?
Anyway, the live broadcast equipment didn’t capture the squirrel. If the squirrel doesn’t come out, just say it’s shy and hiding at home.
The next moment, the squirrel pushed aside the leaves and looked down with its dark eyes.
Fu Siya: “?!!”
Really! ?
"How about I exchange information with you in exchange for nuts?" Wen Youning saw that the nearby environment was somewhat similar to the environment in which giant pandas appeared, and the human traces on the tree trunks were the same. If the little squirrel had been living here all the time, it must have seen giant pandas.
"Do you know where the giant panda is?" Wen Youning opened her backpack and grabbed a few hazelnuts. "It's the round one that waved its paw under the tree a while ago."
The little squirrel raised its head and said, "Squeak!"
have no idea!
'A few little things want me to reveal my brother's location.'
"And these." Wen Youning took out a whole bag of hazelnuts, "Are these enough?"
Little Squirrel: “?!”
Its head suddenly pushed up the leaves.
——That bag of hazelnuts could bury it!
Wen Youning then added a bag of chestnuts, all of which were raw chestnuts, specially brought for the small animals in the forest that eat nuts.
The little ones are the most well-informed. They walk on the trees, stand high and see far.
If you hide when you encounter danger, you can overhear a lot of gossip.
Fu Siya glanced at the bag of nuts and said regretfully, "It probably doesn't know what these things are."
"squeak!"
Get out of the way!
'Is the mouse stupid? The mouse doesn't know?'
"No, no, no, I can't tell you about the food, brother..."
"Three bags." Wen Youning continued to increase the bet.
“Squeak?” The squirrel hesitated. Wait, if it didn’t agree, wouldn’t there be more?
The little squirrel poked its head out and stretched its neck to look into Wen Youning's backpack, trying to figure out how many packages were inside and thinking about which package he would be most appropriate to agree to.
"No way? No way." Wen Youning put all three bags back.
"Squeak!" The squirrel got anxious and climbed down from the branch. Who said it couldn't be done? It worked! The squirrel could do it!
——“Squeak!”
It raised its short little paw and pointed backwards, "Squeak!"
Big brother is going that way!
The little squirrel spread his paws and said, "Give it to the mouse!"
It’s agreed.
"Okay, okay, it's a deal." Wen Youning took out the three big bags. If the squirrels eat them sparingly, they will be enough to survive the winter. Even if they encounter other squirrels stealing their food, they can survive for a long time.
Wen Youning said, "Please move aside. It's hard to hold the bag. I'll pour it directly into the food storage hole. You should be prepared."
The little squirrel kept squeaking while making room for the leaves. Afraid that Wen Youning wouldn't be able to find it, it jumped up and pushed the leaves aside.
Upside down.
All fell down!
[Hahaha, the squirrel's eyes are as big as copper bells. ]
[Squirrel: I’m rich, I’m rich! ]
【These three bags can feed all the squirrels in this area. 】
The hole where the squirrels stored food seemed to be formed naturally. The entrance was not big, but quite deep. Wen Youning poured three bags of food in, but it was still not full.
The little squirrel, having gained a lot of food without going out, happily went into the hole.
Wen Youning heard a 'crunching' sound, and he must have started eating by sitting on the mountain of food.
Fu Siya was stunned until Wen Youning came down with an empty package, "Were you really talking to the squirrel just now?"
Wen Youning smiled and didn't explain too much, "Let's go and find the panda first. If we go too late, the panda may not be there anymore."
After all, giant pandas are not plants. Once they take root in one place, they cannot move on their own. Giant pandas will not stay in the same place forever.
At that time, you will have to ask the small animals along the way.
"Okay, okay..." Fu Siya's facial expression was awkward, as if she was so shocked by this scene that she didn't know how to describe it. Watching the live broadcast is one thing, and seeing it with one's own eyes is another.
Zhao Ziyi patted her shoulder and said, "It's just a small thing, you'll get used to it."
Fu Siya: “?”
What are you talking about?!
…
Wen Youning used her trekking pole to knock on the bushes to avoid small snakes or insects that might suddenly emerge from them.
Although I can hear their thoughts, but... the prerequisite is that they are awake and thinking about something. Otherwise, if they are woken up from a sound sleep, even the smallest animals will have tempers, and some are poisonous.
Fu Siya took a few steps forward and said, "I'll go in front. You two can't line up, so it's safer to follow behind me."
"It's okay. It's safer for me to line up." Wen Youning has even walked through the most famous tropical rainforest known as the most dangerous in the world.
Just not too far.
There were so many small animals that I wanted to eliminate the danger by listening to their inner voices, but after three steps I encountered six small groups quarreling.
In the end, he didn't move forward and just went to stop the fight one by one.
Zhao Ziyi: “…”
It's quite embarrassing at this time.
I can't do anything and can only be a meat shield.
"Teacher Wen, let me help you carry your backpack." Zhao Ziyi decided to make use of his remaining energy.
Wen Youning said: "No, there is nothing."
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll do it." Zhao Ziyi took it with one hand, and instantly slid down with his hand, almost twisting his waist.
Oh my god.
That's nothing.
I'm not exaggerating, just based on the weight of this backpack, if you throw it from a tree, it can kill a bear!
【This useless man. 】
[Hahahaha, can't Mr. Wen explore the map by himself? ]
[Is this the backpack that was taken by the black bear? There is still the smell of the black bear on it, right? Can it ensure safety if I carry it with me?]
…
Fu Siya was originally leading the team, but ended up becoming a member of the team without knowing it.
I followed the panda for most of the day but didn't see any trace of it. I was sweating so much that I stopped to drink some water and realized something was wrong.
——Why did Wen Youning lead the way instead? !
"Teacher Wen, did the squirrel really say that the giant panda is here? This place is far from the water source. Wild giant pandas will choose places close to water sources..."
“Ouch!”
“Ah!”
Fu Siya's words were interrupted by the giant panda's happy whimper.
She was stunned and slowly opened her eyes.
ah?
More than 30 people in the group searched for two days, and the park staff checked the surveillance footage for three nights, but there was no trace of the panda. How could it be discovered so easily?!
Fu Siya looked at the trekking pole in her hand and was confused for a moment. What on earth was she here for?
It seems to be the same with or without her?
Fu Siya thought about it, turned to look at Zhao Ziyi, stretched out her hand, and whispered to the giant panda, "Give me the backpack."
Zhao Ziyi refused to give it to him and protected his food. He lowered his voice and said, "...Go to the side."
"Shh..." Wen Youning raised her index finger to her lips, signaling the two to be quiet.
Giant pandas have very keen hearing, and normally they should have noticed someone nearby.
But the giant panda leaning against the tree trunk did not react at all.
The giant panda has a round body, two semicircular furry ears buckled on its head, its body is black and white, and its pair of small eyes appear bright and lively surrounded by dark circles.
At this moment, the giant panda is stretching out its claws and grabbing things just like what was captured in the video.
"This, this, and this..."
"Awooo!" The panda was so happy that it clapped its two furry paws and its eyes curved into a smile.
[Hiss——Looking closer, there is a kind of beauty that looks like a child. ]
【I vote for radio gymnastics. 】
[Did you see humans do this and are you learning it? Pandas are very smart animals, so it's not difficult for them to remember this move. ]
The giant panda sat on the ground, slightly shaking its outstretched hind legs, and it was obviously in a good mood.
'Eat, eat, eat.'
'Eat them all. Wow, so many bamboos.'
'I like to eat bamboo. I like to eat bamboo.'
When you are in a good mood, even your inner voice becomes rhythmic.
"There are no bamboos here." Wen Youning said softly, "But there are bamboos here, fresh, tender bamboos, do you want to eat them?"
The bamboo was prepared by the park. Wen Youning also wanted to buy some, but it was not easy to bring on the plane because it would easily go bad if covered.
Fu Siya was still trying to get more people to anesthetize the panda and get closer to check it. Wen Youning's sudden move caught her off guard.
For a moment, he didn't know whether to cover Wen Youning's mouth to silence the microphone temporarily, or to pull the person away and run away when the panda pounced on him.
"Are you crazy...?" She didn't even dare to shout loudly in such a anxious situation.
That's a giant panda!
It looks cute, harmless, soft and cuddly, but it actually has another name - the iron-eating beast!
This was the ferocious beast that fought against Chiyou on the battlefield back then.
That slap is no different from a slap from a black bear!
Don't want to die.
These are kept in the zoo, and only the keepers can feed them bamboo like this.
Zhao Ziyi pulled Fu Siya's shoulders and brought her back, giving her a calm look.
I thought to myself: This is how Teacher Wen established his relationship with the white lion. The giant panda and the seriously injured and alert wild white lion are equally dangerous.
After all, giant pandas are not kept in cages now, otherwise under the same conditions, white lions would be more ferocious.
The giant panda shook its head and used its ears carefully to identify where the sound came from.
"Here." Wen Youning shook the bamboo in her hand, "Want a bite?"
"Ah——!" The giant panda growled when it saw people.
'It smells good. I want to eat it.'
"Be fierce first. Scare it away and then eat it."
Wen Youning raised her eyebrows. Her main purpose was to treat the giant panda. She couldn't just leave the bamboo behind, otherwise she really wanted to fulfill the giant panda's wish.
"Run!" Fu Siya reached out to pull Wen Youning.
Wen Youning grabbed Fu Siya's wrist with her backhand, "Don't panic, it doesn't mean to attack."
Fu Siya was so anxious that her head was about to explode. "Baring teeth means you're going to attack!"
"It wants to eat bamboo." If you can't hear the panda's inner voice, it's easy to be fooled by appearances. Wen Youning continued to shake the bamboo in his hand, and at the same time, he didn't forget to tell the audience in the live broadcast room: "Most of the time, baring teeth means impatience. Don't imitate any of my behaviors. It's very dangerous, you know?"
Fu Siya: “…”
You also know the danger.
[Ahhh, is this the time to talk about this?! ]
[In such a tense and exciting atmosphere, Teacher Wen still thought about us. She really did. I cried my heart out.]
As everyone held their breath, waiting for the giant panda's next move.
The giant panda...didn't move.
Even with his bared teeth and faces exhausted, the person in front refused to drop the bamboo and run.
'Why don't you run away?'
"Isn't it scary?"
The giant panda rubbed his face in confusion, it was so scary.
"Not scary." Wen Youning saw that the giant panda seemed to scare people like this often, and then eat the bamboo they dropped, looking very skilled. She smiled and teased it, saying, "I don't think you are scary."
Giant panda: “!!!”
Aw, wow? Aww——! ?
There's a ghost!
I didn't speak!
Someone is talking to me!
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you." Seeing that it still didn't come over, Wen Youning gave up and threw a piece of bamboo over to the giant panda to eat first, "Eat some bamboo, it's fresh and delicious."
The giant panda kept calling out for a long time, but it immediately became silent as soon as the bamboo came down.
The sky is big, the earth is big, and eating bamboo is the biggest thing.
There aren't many wild bamboos here, so if you want to pick fresh and tender bamboos like this one, you have to choose the right time. Otherwise, you can only eat the old ones.
The giant panda held the bamboo and took a bite, "Woo..."
tasty!
Crunchy.
The tender bamboo specially selected by Wen Youning is so tender that anyone can chew it, but they just don’t think it tastes good.
"Is it delicious? Do you like it? Do you want more? ... Then if you eat my food, it means you agree to let me check your pulse, right?"
The giant panda had its mouth full of bamboo. A series of questions were thrown at it, and it just kept nodding. It nodded so quickly that by the time it realized what the person in front of it had said, it had already nodded too much.
"Woo?" The giant panda opened its mouth slightly, and some bamboo that had not been completely chewed could be vaguely seen.
Something wrong?
Oh...never mind, just eat first.
【Laughing to death, giant panda: stunned.】
[Let alone the giant panda, I almost couldn't react to these questions one after another. ]
[Wow, help! It's so cute, how can its expression be so lively! 】
[Please let me kiss you! ]
…
Wen Youning took two bamboos and approached the giant panda little by little.
Fu Siya wanted to stop him, but Zhao Ziyi pulled her back instead, "Do you know..."
"I know. I believe that Teacher Wen knows his limits."
Before he finished speaking, Wen Youning had already stretched out his hand in front of the giant panda, and the other hand touched the giant panda's ear.
Fu Siya’s eyes turned dark and she said, “I don’t believe it.”
When rescuing wild giant pandas, someone will grab the panda's ears to prevent it from suddenly jumping up and injuring people, but that is after a small dose of anesthesia!
Are you stretching your hand out now that I'm under anesthesia? !
When a giant panda is eating bamboo, it turns around and bites you, and your hand is gone!
Fortunately, the giant panda had a more favorite bamboo in its arms, so it didn't seem to be very interested in Wen Youning.
The distance Wen Youning left was safe enough. Even if the giant panda suddenly attacked, she would have time to retreat to a safe place before it pounced on her.
The giant panda is located not far from the village at the foot of the mountain.
It is not ruled out that it often goes to villagers' homes to eat and drink.
The giant panda's nose twitched as it ate happily, and it couldn't help but move closer to smell the warm pomelo and lemon.
Compared to bamboo, this one smells weird.
Fragrant?
Hmm...I want to touch it.
It’s a national treasure, if you want it, you can get it.
It tilted its head without hesitation, and rubbed its ears across Wen Youning's face, rubbing it hard. The giant panda leaned back against the tree contentedly and ate bamboo.
happy.
Wen Youning was still concentrating on feeding the cat. She noticed the panda approaching and didn't know what it wanted to do. Her face softened before she realized - was she being rubbed by the giant panda?
She handed over the bamboo, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "You eat my food and rub me. That's too much."
"Oh?" The giant panda blinked, as if he had heard what Wen Youning said.
It put down the half-eaten bamboo, turned its head to face the big tree, and said nothing as if it was autistic.
"Eh...?" Wen Youning teased the panda, but it didn't eat the bamboo anymore. She hurried over to comfort it, saying, "I was just kidding. I'll give you a rub."
【Haha, giant panda: You’re so naughty. 】
[Ahhh, this is so cute! Yes, I'm talking about you two! ]
[The two at the back are like statues, which makes me laugh to death. ]
…
"Awoo!" The giant panda scratched the ground for a long time, and happily handed a small piece of thing to Wen Youning as if offering a treasure.
'Delicious!'
'Eat, eat.'
“What is this…?” Wen Youning picked it up and took a closer look. A poisonous mushroom?
She lowered her head to check the ground where the giant panda had scratched it, and picked up a complete, purple-red mushroom that was unique to the forest.
Eating this mushroom will also cause hallucinations, with little people floating in front of your eyes. However, the toxin is far less than that of the green-handed mushroom. Given the weight of a giant panda, eating a whole one would not be fatal, but it would not make it too sober.
Now the mushroom is missing a piece, which is the piece that the giant panda broke off and gave to her.
When the giant panda saw Wen Youning picked up the whole mushroom, he thought she wanted to eat it whole.
The giant panda, who has experience eating mushrooms, quickly raised his paw to hold it down, "Woo,"
Don’t eat too much.
The giant panda licked his nose and thought to himself: "If I eat the whole thing, I will feel very sleepy. "
"I fell asleep right away and couldn't even take one."
'If you fall asleep, you won't be able to see the flying bamboo.'
Wen Youning: "..."
That's not falling asleep.
You were drugged.
