The little groundhog learned very seriously, crossing his short front paws and gesturing with great effort, his eyes shining brightly, as if he had taken on some sacred mission.
It nodded vigorously, turned around, and rushed out like a flash of brown lightning, quickly disappearing at the entrance of the underground passage.
Xia Zhining turned to her brother and Liu Se and said urgently, "We must immediately inform the villagers to stop drawing water from the well. They are absolutely not allowed to drink it!"
Liu Se pushed his glasses, hesitant. "But what if we alert the enemy and let the poisoner know?"
Ji Shuyun thought for a moment and said decisively, "I'll call the village chief and have him notify all villagers to stop drinking well water. This will be safer."
He then looked at his sister, his eyes questioning, "Ningning, could you please ask the nearby animals to secretly observe the villagers' reactions after they receive the notification? See if anyone behaves unusually."
Xia Zhining nodded immediately and said to the Crow Boss and the Groundhog Chief who were waiting on the side, "I'm sorry to bother you guys with one more favor!"
When Boss Crow heard this, he straightened his chest and said:
[Leave it to me! I'll go gather the bird brothers in the village right away.]
[Send one to each household, and the whole village will be under close scrutiny!]
The groundhog leader also waved his paw enthusiastically: "While we go to ask the mice, let's ask them to help keep an eye on the ground!"
Xia Zhining said gratefully, "You guys are really working so hard! You have to monitor, run errands, and get information..."
The Groundhog Chief patted his chest proudly, as if to say, "This is not even a joke."
[It doesn't matter! We underground workers are just that versatile!]
The male red-crowned crane lowered his head gracefully and asked with concern: "Boss, is there anything I can help you with?"
Xia Zhining thought quickly and said, "You wait here first."
[Wait for Shushu and Crow Boss to send us information. If you find anything unusual, please fly over here immediately and tell us.]
The groundhog leader waved his little paw: [Children, move!]
The groundhogs nearby listened to the command and immediately went back into the hole one after another, "whoosh whoosh whoosh" like dumplings in a pot.
In the blink of an eye, the insects disappeared from the ground, leaving only a few blades of grass that were still swaying slightly.
At this time, Liu Se had already collected the samples and drove back to the bureau first for emergency testing.
The agricultural research base was not far away, and it would take time to find the contact information, so Xia Zhining and Ji Shuyun immediately decided to go there directly.
Although Xia Zhining has been exercising regularly recently, her physical strength is ultimately not as good as her special forces brother.
By the time Xia Zhining ran to the entrance of the agricultural base breathlessly, Ji Shuyun had already explained the basic situation to the security guard at the entrance.
The security guard quickly registered the two people's information and nervously opened the door to invite them in.
Led by the security guard, Xia Zhining and Ji Shuyun walked quickly towards the well in the agricultural base.
Before I got close, I heard a noisy discussion coming from the other side.
A number of base staff and graduate students had gathered around the well, all talking at once, their voices filled with wonder and laughter.
"Oh my god, what are these groundhogs doing?"
"Why are they queuing up and refusing to let us pump water? They're even dancing around!"
"Look! They can even make forks! Are even groundhogs so fashionable these days?"
Xia Zhining and Ji Shuyun walked closer to take a look.
A group of chubby groundhogs were surrounding the well tightly, forming a furry "cordon".
Each groundhog waved its short front paws hard, made an "X" gesture seriously, and made a rapid "squeak" sound, as if issuing the most serious warning.
Their expressions are more serious than each other, as if they are saying: This water is dangerous, pumping is prohibited!
