After connecting the river, Li Yao made a detour to the Sword Bamboo Forest the next day. The upgrade of the [Spirit Spring Space] increased the animals' sense of belonging, so Li Yao was really looking forward to petting the pandas.
When she entered the bamboo forest, the giant panda mother was munching on bamboo, crunching away with great gusto, while her three panda cubs were rolling around and playing nearby.
As soon as Li Yao approached within about 20 meters of the panda, the mother panda looked up at Li Yao, then dropped the bamboo and walked towards her. Once close, she grabbed Li Yao's leg and tried to climb up.
Li Yao wouldn't let her climb up, so she gently pushed her down. As the panda mother climbed up, she rubbed her head against her, looking like she wanted to "get closer to her," while sniffing something all over her body.
When Li Yao saw the guy peeking around, she took out an apple from her space and fed it to him. The reason for her reaction was that she had watched too many panda videos and wanted to feed it something whenever she saw it like that.
When the panda mother saw that there was food, she stopped climbing on Li Yao like a tree trunk and sat down next to Li Yao to eat an apple. When Li Yao saw this, she quietly touched the panda mother's arm. When she saw that the mother did not refuse, she boldly touched her body.
The panda mother was an adult after all, and her fur wasn't very soft, but it wasn't prickly either; it was soft and fluffy. Li Yao played with it for a while and wondered if she should give it a bath or something. She had wiped its whole body with alcohol yesterday, so she should give it a bath.
She searched online for a long time. Finally, she remembered that there was a hot spring pool in her apartment; she could release some hot spring water for the panda mother to soak in.
Without hesitation, Li Yao dug a pit in the bamboo forest, near the river and about 20 meters from where the panda mothers usually stayed, using her mind to dig a hole the size of the family pool at Little Days Hot Spring. Then she dug the entire hot spring pool out of the Little Days Hot Spring shop and embedded it into the pit she had dug in her space.
The pool is 8 meters long and 5 meters wide. Because it is a hot spring pool, the water is not very deep. There are small steps inside where you can sit. The entire pool is designed to resemble a natural mountain rock formation. There is a drain on one side of the bottom of the pool. Li Yao dug a deep drainage channel and then diverted the water to the river. This way, each time the giant panda takes a bath, it only needs to be filled with water. After the mother panda finishes bathing, the drain can be opened to let the dirty water flow away. The river water will repeatedly seep into the ground and circulate. After being filtered by the soil and plants, it will not cause pollution.
Li Yao filled the hot spring pool with water, then moved the giant panda mother to the edge of the pool and pointed to it, indicating that she should go in. Whether it was the increased sense of belonging after the space upgrade or the improved intelligence of the spiritual spring water, the giant panda mother stood up and wobbled as she tried to climb into the pool after seeing Li Yao's gesture. She rolled over and landed, splashing Li Yao with water.
Li Yao was completely dumbfounded. In the end, she had no choice but to find a large, long-handled brush from the supermarket's toiletries section in the space and scrub her body.
This type of brush has very soft bristles and is generally used to brush the back when people take a bath.
The giant panda mother stretched out her two paws and splashed around in the water, not refusing Li Yao's rubbing. Li Yao used the same pet-specific shampoo she had previously bought from a pet company for bathing cats; it was feline-based and should be pretty much the same.
After a thorough washing and splashing around in the water, it was two hours later that the panda mother was finally clean and dry. Li Yao used a large towel to dry her repeatedly, gave her half a cup of spiritual spring water as a reward, and then let her play by herself.
Li Yao originally planned to drain the water into the river, but since it contained bath soap, she was worried that other animals would drink from it. So she decided against it and stored the bathwater in the [Infinite Space]. Then she opened the [Teleportation Door], which opened in the bathroom of her house in the Northwest County. She then poured the water down the toilet.
After cleaning up the bathwater, Li Yao felt that she was now quite familiar with the panda mother, so she wondered if she could touch the panda cubs. She tentatively walked towards the three cubs, and after the panda mother glanced at her, she continued to sit there eating bamboo. Li Yao boldly reached out her "claws" to the panda cubs.
The panda cubs are so incredibly cute! They're all so cuddly and soft, with such tender fur that it's so nice to touch. Li Yao was squatting on the ground like a "fangirl," constantly cuddling the pandas.
She finally thought that since all the pandas outside had names, her own pandas shouldn't be treated badly either. So she named the panda mother May, because she met her in May. To be honest, Li Yao couldn't tell which of her babies was which, as they were probably too young to tell. She named the three of them June, July, and August. She thought that if she had the chance later, she should go back to Shennongjia to see if there was a male panda or the father of the three cubs that she could bring over.
Li Yao looked around. They should probably get some cat trees or something similar. She searched her [Infinite Space] and found large cat trees in the mall's pet store. This would be perfect for June, July, and August.
Li Yao selected a towering cat tree, which included a space capsule, cat hammock, cat treehouse, cat platform, fence board, cat slide, cat tree hole climbing frame, sunflower cat villa, all-season semi-enclosed cat bed, etc. As long as it was good-looking, cute and suitable for their size, Li Yao took out a whole bunch of them.
Some cat trees lack support points and are difficult to place, so Li Yao opened the [Teleportation Gate] and went to Shennongjia again. She specially selected several very thick trees, transplanted them to the side of the bamboo forest, and then had Da Zhuang build cat trees and cat slides around the tree trunks.
After working busily for more than an hour, Dazhuang finally finished. He then carried his toolbox to Li Yao, who was playing with June, July, and August, to report the situation. As soon as Li Yao heard that it was finished, she picked up June and moved July, August, and May together to the front of the big tree, where they saw the cute little nest that had been built around several trees.
Li Yao casually placed June, whom she was holding, into the cat platform. The little guy, climbing for the first time, kept whimpering and then climbed down the pillar step by step. Seemingly finding it fun, it then went to climb the hammock.
Seeing that the little ones all had something to play with, Li Yao thought that she couldn't neglect May, so she asked Da Zhuang to put the bamboo swing chair she found in her space next to the tree, so that the three of them could play together.
