First update
Although the red panda has the word "small" in its name, it is not small in size. It is much bigger than a cat, and it cannot hide in the garden. Even if you can't see it, it should leave some traces of its disappearance.
The climate is cold now, but it seems to have completely disappeared, with no trace left.
Brother Qin Si said: "I have asked many people, but no one has ever seen it."
The fourth brother was puzzled. If he wanted to see the "cat" alive, he would want to see its corpse. How could a red panda grow wings and fly away?
After Qin Yao finished talking to her fourth brother, she quietly turned on her "Perspective Skill". Everything that passed before her eyes made her dizzy. There were too many small animals in the zoo. My god, some of them even dug holes in the soil to escape and go to other nests to fight... She watched "Animal World" for a while and became a little addicted.
"Yaoyao, Yaoyao? What's wrong with you?"
Qin Yao exited the skill, and Gu Cheng's handsome face appeared in front of her. He was wearing thick winter clothes and a brown hat, and his face showed concern. The skin on his face was as delicate and flawless as jade, which made her think of the five red pandas she had secretly counted just now.
According to her brother, there were six in the zoo, and one disappeared.
The red panda is very cute, with a delicate and handsome face. When it raises its paw and sticks out its tongue, it looks very playful.
"It's nothing. Let's look around." Qin Yao didn't find any trace of the other red panda.
Gu Cheng opened his mouth and asked where Fourth Brother Qin had searched.
Fourth Brother: "We have searched everything we could."
"A night has passed. The weather is so cold that animals will find a comfortable place to hide." Gu Cheng thought.
Qin Yao: "Is it in the dormitory? Brother, have you looked for the staff dormitory?"
"Ah?" Fourth Brother Qin was stunned. He vaguely guessed in his heart that Quanquan had escaped on his own. If it had escaped, how could it hide in a crowded place?
He really hadn't looked for it in the staff dormitory.
Brother Qin Si was skeptical and took his sister and brother-in-law to his dormitory, a small two-story building. Brother Qin Si lived in a single dormitory on the second floor.
Arriving at the foot of the dormitory building, Brother Qin Si suddenly felt that it was impossible, "There is no place to hide here."
"Yaoyao, I'm so sorry. You and your brother-in-law came here to visit the zoo, but I ended up having you running around for my business—"
"Xiao Qin, you're back?" A man in his twenties came out holding an enamel pot and talking to Fourth Brother Qin while slurping noodles.
"You didn't come back last night. Why bother? It's not you who lost it. In this zoo, it's not uncommon for an animal to get lost."
Fourth Brother Qin: "I have feelings for Quanquan."
"Feelings?" The man laughed twice. "Don't be so sentimental. If you work in a zoo for a long time, you will find that animals don't have feelings for you. Who do you think you are to be so sentimental?"
"If you have that kind of affection, you might as well spend it on your family and friends after get off work."
"It's not worth it to give real affection to these animals."
While they were talking, Qin Yao used her skill to look around. This skill had its pros and cons. If she wasn't careful, she would see strange things that were eye-catching... There was even a pornographic book hidden in the dormitory.
Gu Cheng walked forward a few steps and came to the dark pile of groceries in the corridor. He lifted a wooden board and said in a calm tone: "Found it, Fourth Brother, come and see if it is this one?"
Found it?
The other three people present were all stunned for a moment. Brother Qin blinked his eyes and ran forward happily. Sure enough, under the pile of groceries and wooden boards, there was a circle of fluffy things and a familiar big tail. It was the circle he knew.
I searched for it all night and found it sleeping right here!
Fourth Brother Qin's eyes turned red with excitement.
It turned out to be a false alarm.
He dragged Circle's tail and wanted to take it back, but unexpectedly he was grabbed several times by this heartless guy. Unlike the look in its eyes that was eager and happy to see him when it was feeding, there was obviously a defensive look in its eyes at this time.
Such a look was like a knife piercing his heart.
The circle was sent back to the cage, but Qin Si Ge was in a bad mood because he realized that what the man said was right. His love for animals was just one-sided. The animals did not like him. As long as they got the chance, they would yearn for freedom.
So in the eyes of the circle, what is he, a jailer guarding it?
"I thought we had at least some affection. I felt that it treated me differently. Every time it saw me, it was very active and lively, with a light in its eyes... I thought we knew each other."
Quanquan was found, and Qin Si Ge suffered a severe blow. He began to doubt whether this job in the zoo was suitable for him, and he began to doubt the meaning of his work.
In the past, he was full of passion and looked forward to meeting these little animals every day. He felt extremely satisfied when he took good care of them and made sure they were comfortable.
Now realizing his identity as a "jailer", it was like a basin of ice-cold water poured over his head. A feeling of sadness rose in his heart, and he no longer had any motivation in his body.
"These little guys are really heartless. They live a more comfortable life than humans, with no worries about food or clothing, and people serving them all day long, yet they are still not satisfied."
Qin Yao said: "If you lock someone in a cage, even if they have food and water, they will still want to escape like crazy."
Gu Cheng crossed his arms with an expressionless face, looking at the cages in the zoo in front of him with complicated eyes.
Fourth Brother Qin muttered, "According to that theory, zoos should not exist. What's the point of them? They are just to satisfy our selfish desires and let children visit zoos to learn about animals."
"This is not ancient times. We have cameras and photos. Why not take a look? It's still the same as in the photo."
"Some zoos train animals to perform, making them do acrobatics like humans... that's also quite cruel."
Brother Qin sighed: "I feel like I'm being cruel. I want to release them back into nature."
Fourth Brother Qin began to regret exchanging his street job with someone else. Street work was complicated and noisy. He had to deal with people every day. He was not tired physically, but mentally he was as tired as his grandson.
In the zoo, there is no need to deal with people, and the animal world is very simple. Although it is a bit tiring, it also makes him truly fall in love with these cute little animals. However, the more he likes them, the more he begins to doubt the meaning of this job.
"Little sister, do you think I should exchange jobs with others? I don't want to do this anymore. I'm so sad. No matter how much I give to animals, they will never really like me. I'm very sad and I can't stand it." Brother Qin Si said this with a confused look on his face. He thought he should be as cold-blooded as a man to do this job well, but he didn't want to.
If you don't want to, you should stay away from them.
"Brother, if you really like these little animals, you should accept that they are different from humans. They can't talk, and they don't have human wisdom." Qin Yao smiled and said, "You give because you like them. As long as you like them, it's enough. If there is a reward, you are happy. If there is no reward, it doesn't matter. It's worthy of your love."
Fourth Brother Qin: "...I think if I like them, I should let them go and let them follow their natural instincts, but I can't do that, so I have to go. I can't see them, so I don't want to think about them anymore."
"In addition to allowing humans to appreciate animals, zoos are also a place to protect animals. Zoos can also be homes for animals." Qin Yao recalled the future zoos. Many zoos have already begun reforms. They no longer put animals in viewing cages, but build a home for them that simulates nature.
"What's the point of watching animal performances in the zoo? We should watch their real life reactions in nature. Each animal has its own living habits. I think the future development of zoos should be to build environments that simulate their survival in the wild."
"It's not about leaving animals alone in cages or training them to do acrobatics, but about making them feel like they are living in the wild, with all kinds of interesting and fun things to do."
"It's best to create a cozy nest for them. When they want to come out, they can take a stroll. If they don't want to come out, they can stay in their nest."
…
"Brother, your work is meaningful. Try your best to create a happy home for animals, make friends with them, and let them live happily. This is your meaning."
As soon as Qin Yao finished speaking, there was a burst of applause from the door. Several men in black cotton jackets stood there, and the leading man was wearing black-rimmed glasses.
Lu Lian is a research expert from the Academy of Forestry Sciences. This time he came to the zoo to guide the work and also to form an investigation team to visit and exchange ideas in several African countries.
The animal exchange activities with foreign countries were interrupted in the past few years, but we resumed the work this year and introduced animals from abroad.
This morning I heard that a red panda was lost, and a keeper had been looking for it for most of the night without eating or sleeping. He was filled with emotion, and now that he learned that the animal was found, he came to take a look, but he didn't expect to hear such words.
He was deeply touched, as he also loves animals.
Various venues in the zoo were being renovated and rebuilt. What he thought in his mind was the same as what Qin Yao said. In the past, the zoo's venues were all built in imitation of the Soviet style. The animals were placed in a sunken venue for all-round viewing by surrounding tourists.
This design is entirely from the perspective of human viewing. Is it comfortable for animals?
"You said it very well. Zoos should be designed and created from the perspective of animals."
Researcher Lu said a few words and then started coughing violently. He has been like this for the past few days. It was fine when he didn't talk, but as soon as he started talking, he couldn't help coughing and his throat suddenly became dry.
Qin Yao felt something was wrong when she heard his cough. She turned on her skill and found that his lungs were in serious condition. "Sir, your cough is not right. You should go to the hospital to check your lungs."
In order to convince him, Qin Yao emphasized that she was currently a nurse and had received medical training.
Researcher Lu listened to her serious words and nodded.
After a few words, Researcher Lu left, and Fourth Brother Qin's spirits recovered.
Qin Yao smiled and said, "Brother, do you still want to change jobs now?"
The expression on Qin Si's face was awkward, and he whispered, "I want to go to Africa to see wild animals."
Qin Yao: “?”
"I didn't love animals before, but now I am really curious about them. I want to see how animals survive in the wild. Like you said, I have to see it with my own eyes before I can build a comfortable home for them."
"Look at what I said. I don't have the chance to go either." After saying that, Fourth Brother Qin sighed. He was just an ordinary breeder, not a veterinarian, nor an animal researcher.
Qin Yao: "Maybe there will be a chance in the future, work hard."
Fourth Brother Qin smiled. He didn't even notice that his eyes were sparkling when he mentioned animals.
He was reluctant to give up this job, and after being discouraged, he still picked himself up and continued to serve these heartless and cute little guys.
Fourth Brother Qin went back to the dormitory to rest for a while. Gu Cheng and Qin Yao and his wife went to the zoo. At noon, Fourth Brother Qin invited them to have lunch. He cooked the meal himself instead of going to the state-owned restaurant.
Fourth Brother Qin did not learn cooking from his father, but his brothers are all good cooks, and some of their specialties are better than those in restaurants, so there is no need to spend money going to a restaurant.
Fourth Brother Qin processed the ingredients efficiently and vigorously, and Gu Cheng lent him a hand from the side. He seemed calm on the surface, but in fact he was preparing to learn a few tricks from him secretly.
Gu Cheng asked about some of Qin Yao's favorite dishes.
"My sister loves to eat everything and is not picky. There are also a few things that she particularly likes..." Brother Qin Si said this, but he felt a warm current flowing through his heart. His younger sister found a good husband who cares and considers her.
Caring is not just something you say, but something you actually do.
The more Brother Qin Si looked at his brother-in-law, the more he liked him. Although he looked cold on the outside, he was actually warm-hearted on the inside. He would even help his younger sister empty the chamber pot. It was hard to find such a good man even with the light on.
The two men were busy at the stove and there was no place to stand, so Qin Yao sat in the back drinking tea and eating melon seeds. Not long after, Gu Xing's family arrived.
"Aunt, the giraffe we just saw was this tall." Gu Miaomiao pulled Qin Yao's lips and talked about what she saw and heard at the zoo today.
While He An was sitting aside to rest, Gu Xingze suddenly wandered behind the two men and quietly observed their movements.
Gu Xingming showed no expression on his face, but he was actually very shocked. He found that the two men were quite skilled in their movements, whereas the last time he made that egg cake in the kitchen - it was terrible!
He observed secretly out of the corner of his eye, hoping to learn a few tricks from him.
"This is my eldest brother, Gu Xing, that's my eldest sister-in-law, and my niece Miaomiao."
Now Fourth Brother Qin was extremely nervous. Gu Xing was tall and cold, with a strong aura, like a mighty lion in the zoo. He stood aside and observed coldly. Was he dissatisfied?
His younger brother is helping in the kitchen here, while his younger sister is eating melon seeds and chatting over there.
Thinking of this, Fourth Brother Qin felt extremely ashamed. As the elder brother-in-law, he felt that he should show some attitude.
Fourth Brother Qin was very conflicted. He was not the kind of person who could speak politely, otherwise he would not have come to work in the zoo.
After holding it in for a while, Fourth Brother Qin said to Qin Yao, "Little sister, go get some water to boil. My brother-in-law is honest, gentle, and has a good temper. Don't always bully him."
Brother Gu: “?!”
Sister-in-law: “?”
Gu Miaomiao: “!!!!”
Her uncle has a good temper?
