Chapter 130 You're in too much of a hurry
"It's okay, it's okay, it's good that he's back."
Yuanyuan nodded, "But I brought a lot of plants. Shall I take them out and show them to you?"
"Don't rush to hand over the supplies!"
"Your safety is our top priority."
"Yes, yes, Xiao Gu, take the child to the treatment room first. The doctor and examination equipment are ready inside. Also, get some hot food for the child; he must be starving."
The other bigwigs echoed each other, automatically making way for Gu Zheng to carry Yuan Yuan forward.
...
Treatment room
On the table were warm milk, small cakes, and washed fruit, and the air conditioning was at the perfect temperature.
Several doctors in white coats were waiting with their examination equipment.
Gu Zheng placed Yuanyuan on the sofa and was about to let go when Yuanyuan instinctively grabbed his clothes, "Daddy, don't go."
She didn't want to get a shot or have her blood drawn.
"Sweetie, Daddy won't leave. I'll stay here with you."
Gu Zheng sat down beside her, took her small hand, and comforted her. "The doctor just checked to see if you're feeling better; you'll be fine soon."
Will they draw blood?
The doctor approached with a gentle smile. "Little Yuanyuan, this is just a routine check-up; we won't be drawing blood, so don't worry."
Yuanyuan was a little nervous, but she obediently lay down.
Half an hour had passed since the series of checks were completed.
"Professor Gu, Yuanyuan is in good health, just a little tired. She'll be fine after some rest."
Gu Zheng nodded. "Thank you for your hard work."
After saying that, he carried Yuanyuan back to his residence.
Yuanyuan fell asleep as soon as she finished showering, and slept very soundly until noon the next day.
As she got out of bed, Gu Zheng was already waiting for her in the living room.
"Yuanyuan, shall we give the supplies we brought back to the uncles and aunties who are doing research, and then go home?"
"Your grandparents and great-grandfather miss you very much."
“Okay, okay, Yuanyuan misses her great-grandfather and grandparents too.”
"Good girl."
Gu Zheng took her to the Forestry Bureau's kitchen for breakfast.
When Aunt Li from the kitchen saw her return, she brought her a lot of her favorite foods.
"That's enough, thank you Aunt Li, I can't finish any more."
"It's okay if you can't finish it, you've gotten so thin from hunger."
"..."
...
After having breakfast, the two quickly arrived at the conference room.
As soon as the door opened, Gu Zheng carried Yuan Yuan in, and everyone's eyes immediately fell on Yuan Yuan.
"Yuanyuan is here!" Old Zhou stood up first, rubbing his hands together and taking two steps forward, his eyes sparkling as he stared at Yuanyuan. "Did you bring everything?"
"Old Zhou, are you in too much of a hurry?"
"How can we not be in a hurry?"
This time, they brought back quite a few rare plants.
Yuanyuan nodded, slid down from her father's arms, and ran to the empty space in the middle of the table with her short legs. "Daddy said it's okay to put it here!"
Gu Zheng nodded beside her and moved her chair a little further: "No rush, take it one step at a time."
With a wave of her hand, Yuanyuan transformed the previously empty ground into a field filled with all sorts of plants.
Old Zhou rushed to the plants, bent down and stared at the few seedlings with tender buds. His fingers trembled as he tried to touch them. "These, these are Davidia involucrata seedlings?"
Am I seeing things?
Professor Li, standing next to him, pushed up his glasses that had slipped down to the tip of his nose, put on gloves, and carefully parted the leaves to examine them closely.
“The leaf veins are correct, and the shape of the buds is also correct. Davidia involucrata is almost endangered to the point of extinction. I can’t help but think that I might see its seedlings again.”
He looked up at Yuanyuan, his voice trembling, "Yuanyuan, how many trees did you dig up in total?"
Yuanyuan blinked her big eyes and counted on her little finger, saying, "I don't know, there should be more than a dozen, right?"
How much...?
Professor Li nearly collapsed to the ground, only managing to steady himself by grabbing the table. "Girl, you're truly our lucky star! This is a Class I protected plant in China; there are only a handful left in the entire world!"
"There are still many more in the Beast World. If we need more in the future, we'll dig up a lot more."
"Okay, okay."
"My God! This is..."
Professor Zhang, leaning on the table, stood up, his finger trembling as he pointed at the plants, “Paphiopedilum grimoireii!”
Wasn't it declared extinct in the wild a long time ago?
How can there be so many plants, and growing so well?
"These grow under the dove tree, there are so many of them, we just dug up a few to bring back."
Professor Zhang's hands were trembling as he held the Paphiopedilum orchid. He loved orchids and would have taken one home if there hadn't been so many people around.
The president of the National Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a leading figure in the medical field, held the orange-like fruit and smelled it again and again.
"This fruit smells different, sweet with a hint of bitterness. Yuanyuan, you just said it can boost immunity and stop coughing?"
“Yes,” Yuanyuan ran over, tiptoed to reach the fruit, picked one up and peeled it. “The system said that its flesh can enhance immunity and its peel can stop coughing.”
Yuanyuan handed him the peeled fruit.
Old Wang took it and gently squeezed it; the flesh was soft and slightly elastic.
He turned to his assistant and shouted, "Quick! Bring the testing equipment over, I need to check the ingredients."
The assistant frantically rummaged through his bag for instruments.
"etc!"
"Yuanyuan, can I eat this directly?"
Yuanyuan nodded, "Of course! Uncle Chen and I have tried it. It's sweet and not bitter at all!"
She picked one up, wiped it with her little hand, and took a bite.
Seeing her eating so happily, Dean Wang also took a small bite, and his eyes lit up instantly.
"It's sweet with a hint of sourness, and it feels warm in your throat. It's amazing."
He exclaimed excitedly, "If this fruit could be mass-produced, how many cough patients could suffer less!"
Another suppressed gasp came from the corner.
Dr. Zhao from the Biological Research Institute was staring at a bottle containing a purple liquid. "This...this is the venom of the purple-striped tarantula?"
The meeting room quieted down considerably after those words were spoken.
The name itself sounds like a poison.
"The purple-striped tarantula is a notoriously venomous creature; it is said that a single drop of its venom can bring down an elephant."
Everyone gasped in shock.
Gu Zheng walked over and pressed the bottle opening, "Dr. Zhao, be careful. This venom hasn't been specially treated, so it's best not to open it here."
Dr. Zhao awkwardly touched his nose, "It was my oversight."
He turned to look at Yuanyuan, his voice trembling: "Little Yuanyuan, where did this venom come from?"
The purple-striped poisonous spider is not to be trifled with.
"He was going to attack us, but we killed him instead."
She put it simply, but it sent chills down the spines of the group.
"Yuanyuan, you guys are amazing."
"Actually, the biggest contributor is Xiaobai. If it weren't for it, we wouldn't have been able to defeat it."
"Oh, by the way, Daddy's fur was corroded by its venom."
Upon hearing this, the crowd that had gathered around retreated and moved away from Dr. Zhao.
They witnessed Xiaobai's miserable state firsthand.
If even with such strong defenses they're like that, then their old arms and legs can't possibly...
