Chapter 280: Back to the Animal Association
"Look here, here, it's all healed, but the skin over here is severely ulcerated."
Chu Qiao frowned: "It's true that the recovery is a bit slow. Are you sure it's the environment and not the medicine?"
Mo Tao pondered, "Environmental issues are largely to blame. The climate in the Daxing Mountains is dry, there are basically no lakes, and the mountain streams often dry up."
"As for medication, I've tried many kinds, but they didn't have much effect."
Chu Qiao nodded. "This is the objective environment of Daxing Mountain. It's obviously unrealistic for us to invest in building an amphibian rescue center right now."
"I understand. After all, rebuilding the venue will cost a lot of money." Mo Tao agreed seriously.
"What are you thinking? It's not a matter of money, it's a matter of time. Building a venue takes time, and once it's built, it needs a testing environment. We can't move in right away, and the longer it's delayed, the more trouble we'll have."
Mo Tao blushed: "I am narrow-minded."
…
The rescue facility is just behind Xiao Diao’s original training ground, and the door is locked with a heavy golden lock.
Chu Qiao: "Where are the employees?"
Mo Tao scratched his head. "They went to eat. They are all freshly graduated college students who can't stand hardship. They left as soon as the time came."
Chu Qiao raised his eyebrows: "It's not a college student problem, it's a human problem. You can ask Feng Zaozao about this. She is very experienced."
"I'm making a bet with her, so I can't ask him."
Chu Qiao raised the corner of his mouth: "What kind of bet are you two making behind my back?"
"He said that all the people here left in less than three months."
Chu Qiao looked at the empty rescue station. The nature of rescue meant that one had to love animals to be passionate about doing this. Otherwise, which young person would be willing to stay in the boring and uninteresting mountainous area?
Chu Qiao: "It's okay to lose, it will help you screen out the right person."
Mo Tao said dejectedly, "Sister Chu Qiao, why do you think I'm not good enough?"
Chu Qiao shook his head: "It's not that they think you're incapable, but they don't have the same passion as you do, so they definitely can't stand the loneliness. Look over there."
Mo Tao looked in the direction Chu Qiao pointed, and saw a piece of chicken leg exposed to the hot air.
This was taken out by Mo Tao last night. It was originally frozen in the refrigerator, but there was a little leopard to eat the next day, so it had to be thawed in advance.
As a result, the little leopard was not in good condition today and only ate a little.
The rest should be put back in the refrigerator to prevent it from rotting and stinking, or accidentally fed to animals.
But no one saw or noticed that these flies had been biting the flesh for a hundred days.
Chu Qiao said nothing more.
Mo Tao threw the stinky chicken leg into the trash can and said, "I'll post a new job posting tomorrow."
"Okay, stop being angry and get down to business."
Mo Tao took a look at the chicken legs in the trash can and felt a little pain in his heart. The funding for the rescue station was not much to begin with, but right now, when it was complaining from time to time, the injury of the giant salamander was the most important thing.
When Chu Qiao saw the giant salamander, he was still a little bit unbelieving. The left and right sides of the giant salamander's body were completely two different colors. One side was a healthy black-gray color, while the skin on the other side had fallen off, revealing a red wound.
"Is it so serious?" Chu Qiao felt so distressed that he didn't dare touch the giant salamander's wound for fear of hurting it.
"You must change your environment, Mo Tao. You have access to a lot of information in this area. Wherever there are good conditions, go and grab them."
"I do have an idea."
Chu Qiao glanced sideways: "You say."
"Why don't we hand it over to the rescue association? I remember there's a special amphibian rescue department in the association, but because no one has rescued any amphibians, it's been idle in the museum."
When Chu Qiao heard about the Animal Rescue Association, his first reaction was a bit disgusted.
She shook her head, thinking that now a new group of people have come, and she shouldn't look at it with the old perspective. In addition, given the previous warnings, no one should dare to do anything illegal or taboo again.
"What do you think?"
Chu Qiao nodded: "I agree. After he recuperates there for a while, we will contact them and release him back into the wild."
Mo Tao nodded.
"There's no time to lose. Let's leave tomorrow morning and get ready first."
After Chu Qiao finished speaking, he called Gao Yuan.
This was the first time Chu Qiao contacted Gao Yuan since the former president was imprisoned.
Chu Qiao thought that Gao Yuan had already taken the position of president of the association and would not remember her. Unexpectedly, Gao Yuan recognized her voice at the first moment.
"Chu Qiao?"
Chu Qiao: "It's me, President Gao."
"You don't contact me, but I watch your live broadcast every day." Gao Yuan made a harmless joke.
Chu Qiao cooperated and said, "Thank you, President Gao, for supporting me despite your busy schedule."
Gao Yuan's laughter continued, "Alright, alright, stop flattering each other. You must have something good in mind for me."
Seeing that Chu Qiao was getting down to business, he immediately became serious: "I rescued a giant salamander here, but the conditions are not good enough. Can I transfer it to your place for rescue?"
Gao Yuan was stunned: "Giant salamander, giant salamander?"
"Well, he's over a hundred years old, quite tall, and has skin diseases all over his body."
"Of course, no problem. Send it over. I'll have the staff clean the pool and prepare it now."
"Thank you." Chu Qiao said seriously.
"What are you talking about? It's all about saving animals."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Qiao informed Brother Feng to ask Mo Tao to pay attention to the recruitment matters.
The next day, early in the morning, Mo Tao came over with a water box in his arms, and Lao Lin was holding a giant salamander.
Chu Qiao opened the trunk of the car, returned the car to Feng Zaozao, and drove the broken van again.
Chu Qiao touched the giant salamander and said, "This van is too narrow. I'm sorry to have to put you in such a difficult position."
The giant salamander was bulky and didn't move much, but it still raised its eyelids and shook its head to give face.
"This guy is really smart. He even knows you."
Chu Qiao nodded: "Animals, like humans, also have emotions."
The chubby Xiaoyan and Xiaodiao stuck their heads in through the car window from the left and right. Lao Lin shook his head helplessly from behind.
Chu Qiao looked into Xiao Diao's eyes and said, "Xiao Diao, take Xiao Yan back with you."
Xiao Diao shook his head and walked reluctantly to the passenger seat, rubbing Xiao Yan and moving him away from the car window.
Chu Qiao drove away quickly to avoid Xiaoyan pestering him.
After driving out of the mountains, the giant salamander began to twist back and forth, obviously not used to the stimulation brought by the highway.
Mo Tao blindfolded the giant salamander and covered its eyes with a water-storage towel prepared in advance to reduce its fear of the unfamiliar environment.
When we arrived at the Animal Association, Gao Yuan had already sent people to wait outside.
Chu Qiao was stunned. Gao Yuan was completely different from the one he had seen before.
When she was working undercover as a secretary, she wore sexy clothes, but now she is low-key and simple. The only thing that is not low-key enough is the expression on her face. Her chin is slightly raised, her eyes have a little more brilliance, and the corners of her mouth are slightly raised. It can be seen that she has a leadership style.
Chu Qiao didn't think much about it and took the giant salamander down from the car.
