Chapter 80 Rescuing the Baby Elephant
Qin Shen looked at her and shook his head, "I can't do it."
Jiang Si was stunned. He thought he could intimidate all animals.
She couldn't help but ask again: "Can you communicate with them?"
Qin Shen shook his head again: "Elephants are not allowed."
Jiang Si sighed, wondering if he could only watch the elephant destroy the helicopter.
If it is really destroyed and there are no roads nearby, it will take at least several days to walk to the beach.
Jiang Linhai tried to scare off the elephants with the sounds of gunfire and explosives, but Jiang Si stopped him. "If the elephants get angry, they can crush us into pulp. Even if we hide in the trees, they'll still destroy them and kill us. So let's just let the helicopter go. Let's find a place to hide first."
Everyone had no choice but to abandon the helicopter and find a big dead tree to climb up.
Dead trees have no leaves, so elephants won't attack them as long as they are sure they pose no threat.
But as soon as Jiang Si and his team climbed up, they found that this group of aggressive elephants were obviously coming towards them.
They gathered under the big tree, making mournful sounds and looking at them with wet eyes, as if seeking help from them.
Elephants are very intelligent, have emotions, and hold farewell ceremonies for their deceased members.
When Jiang Si saw the leader sticking out his nose towards her, she hesitated for a moment and then stretched out her hand towards it.
The elephants immediately made loud excited noises, and the leader elephant grabbed her wrist with his trunk, signaling her to follow them.
Jiang Si looked at Qin Shen, "They must be in trouble and looking for help, right?"
Qin Shen nodded, "Well, do you want to go with me?"
Jiang Si thought for a moment and said, "Go ahead."
Since Jiang Si wanted to go, everyone naturally had to follow.
The elephant cleverly carried everyone on its back. As it was the first time for everyone to ride an elephant, they all looked excited.
Niuniu said happily: "Dad, we are like Tyson in the cartoon."
Lu Zhifeng held her tightly and said with a smile, "Then we should also protect the forests, protect animals, and protect nature like Tyson."
The herd of elephants ran for more than twenty minutes and stopped in front of a ravine. The faint cries of the baby elephants came from below.
The mother elephant responded anxiously, constantly looking for edible weeds around and throwing them into the ravine.
Everyone lay down at the edge of the ravine and saw that the baby elephant was stuck dozens of meters deep in the earthquake crack, and was moving with difficulty and tilting. Even when eating, it could only hook one or two wild grasses with its tongue.
At the bottom of the ravine, there was no place to land, and the baby elephant was stuck in mid-air.
If a strong earthquake occurs while rescuing a baby elephant, you may lose your life.
You can lower a rope and use a helicopter to lift the baby elephant.
The key is to go down and secure the rope to the elephant's belly.
The elephant looked at them anxiously, making anxious cries.
Jiang Si thought about it again and again and asked Qin Shen: "Can you fly a helicopter?"
She was a good rock climber, and if she moved quickly, it wouldn't take her long to secure the baby elephant.
Qin Shen nodded, but said, "I'll go down, you drive the helicopter."
Jiang Si didn't argue with him. The baby elephant had no strength to eat and looked limp. He had to be rescued as soon as possible.
Jiang Si drove a helicopter over and gave Qin Shen the best rescue equipment.
The baby elephant weighs several hundred pounds, so the ropes and rescue mats it needs must be the largest and strongest.
Fortunately, Jiang Si’s space is fully equipped with rescue equipment, so rescuing a few more adult elephants is not a problem.
After Qin Shen's rope was fastened, Jiang Si controlled the helicopter, lowering it little by little, closer to the baby elephant.
The frightened baby elephant screamed and struggled in panic, and its body was stuck in the ravine and fell down, rubbing against the rocks, which was a terrifying sight.
It was originally a simple task for Qin Shen to tie the rope for him, but it turned out to be extremely difficult.
The mother elephant on the shore paced back and forth anxiously. The surrounding rock walls also showed signs of loosening, and dust and gravel kept falling, making Qin Shen unable to open his eyes.
Jiang Linhai was a little worried: "Qin Shen, are you okay? Don't force yourself! If that doesn't work, I'll pull you up!"
Qin Shen didn't say anything. He took out the sedative given by Jiang Si and gave the baby elephant an injection on the butt.
The medicine took effect quickly and the baby elephant stopped struggling. Qin Shen tied the baby elephant up tightly in a short while.
After Jiang Si confirmed that the rope would not break, he controlled the helicopter to fly upwards.
The baby elephant and Qin Shen were continuously lifted up. Fortunately, there was no more earthquake during this period, and the baby elephant was successfully lifted out of the ravine.
The effect of the tranquilizer on the elephant had not yet worn off, and because it was stuck in the crevice of the rocks, it had some serious abrasions on its body. While everyone was untying the ropes, they also gave it some medicine.
The elephants were very smart. Although they were anxious, they knew that no one would harm the baby elephant, so they silently agreed.
After a long while, the baby elephant slowly opened its eyes and stood up in response to the calls of its mother. The herd of elephants made celebratory sounds, looked at Jiang Si and the others a few times as a farewell, and then slowly walked towards the depths of the canyon.
Niuniu looked at their intimate backs and said happily, "It's great that the whole family can be together happily."
After rescuing the baby elephant, it was almost dark and flying at night was extremely unsafe.
What's more, the helicopter still has some minor problems, and Jiang Si needs to check it again.
Jiang Si and Qin Shen watched the maintenance video while checking the situation inside the helicopter.
Shen Baoying took a sealed pheasant from Jiang Si and stewed a whole pot with chestnuts. The aroma was fragrant and appetizing.
Lu Zhifeng thought it was a pheasant that Jiang Si had caught while hunting, and kept testing his crossbow. He said regretfully, "I wish I could catch a few pheasants too."
Shen Baoying smiled and said, "We still have plenty of food. Don't worry. When we get to the beach, there are still sea fish to catch. There will be no shortage of food. Don't put yourself in danger just to find food."
Shen Baoying was trying to comfort Lu Zhifeng, fearing that he would feel burdened and think that he was eating for free.
He has tried his best to protect the team. Whether it is night duty or doing anything else, he is always the most proactive.
Lu Zhifeng smiled and said, "I'm not worried about food, but if we want to cross the Pacific Ocean, we need to store more water on the boat."
Jiang Linhai said, "Sisi has already said that modern ships have freshwater tanks specifically for storing fresh water, and they can also collect rainwater. If we go to the dock, we'll definitely find such a ship if we're lucky."
Lu Zhifeng nodded. They have always had good luck. Let’s hope so.
In addition to pheasant stewed with chestnuts, Shen Baoying also made several delicious home-cooked dishes, and Zhang Qingfang's white flour steamed buns and corn steamed buns were just out of the pot.
It was steaming hot, soft and fragrant. Just as he handed one to Niu Niu and was about to ask Jiang Si and Qin Shen to eat, the ground trembled slightly. Everyone looked up and saw that the group of elephants had come back, and they were rolling some unknown wild fruits and vegetables with their trunks.
