Chapter 159: Skipping class?
Less than five minutes later, the drone returned with a net bag of steamed bun frogs and landed steadily in front of Xu Ying.
"Sister, your remote-controlled plane is so cool!"
"Sister, you are so awesome! Such a heavy remote-controlled plane looks like a toy in your hands. Your operation is so cool."
When the teenagers saw the drone up close, they realized that it seemed to be made of some metal and was particularly heavy.
"This remote-controlled airplane, I saw on the news it's called a drone. Is it expensive?"
In just a few minutes, the boys' attitude towards Xu Ying had changed drastically.
Before Xu Ying could speak, Liu Kai suddenly appeared and interrupted, his tone arrogant: "This drone is the latest military model, priceless."
"Don't tell anyone about this, and don't take pictures with your phones, or you'll be held accountable."
"Don't touch it. You can't afford to repair it if it breaks."
Liu Kai's tone was serious and arrogant, as if the drone belonged to him.
Upon hearing this, the young people who were curious about the drone became timid and moved away from the drone.
Xu Ying curled her lips speechlessly: "Liu Kai, if you can't speak, just don't speak!"
She began to assign tasks to Liu Kai: "Why are your hands free? I have an empty mineral water bottle in my car. Go to Yueya Lake to get a bucket of water. We will take it back for testing samples."
"Why do we need to take water from Crescent Lake? Aren't there special testers who go to the village to take samples?"
Liu Kai was not very happy either.
"Assistant Liu, this is a mission. If you can't understand it, that's your problem. Try to overcome it."
Xu Ying kept calling Liu Kai "Xiao Liu" and "Assistant Liu", which made Liu Kai look pale.
He heard Xu Ying, the smiling tiger, threatening again: "Or do you want to go to the new rescue station to experience it?"
Liu Kai immediately stopped talking and turned to get the bucket, fearing that Xu Ying would call Director Yi and tell tales about him the next second.
Xu Ying curled her lips and turned to the teenagers, "Don't listen to what that intern said just now. This is indeed a military drone. As long as it's not sold on the market, it's fine."
Seeing that Xu Ying had such amazing skills and such a kind personality, the young men's impression of her rose rapidly.
Someone couldn't help but ask curiously: "Sister, don't frogs have to go through the process of changing from tadpoles to frogs? These bun frogs can't swim, so how do they grow up?"
Xu Ying patiently answered his question: "The mantou frog is an exception. They usually lay their eggs in moist soil or sandy loam. Their eggs are like water sacs, and they skip the tadpole stage and turn directly into frogs."
The teenagers squatted on the ground, holding their faces, chattering like curious babies. They felt that this rescuer knew everything, and the knowledge he shared was much more interesting than what was in the textbooks.
"Sister, how can I use such a cool military drone?"
Xu Ying smiled slightly: "This is my sister's help to the military. This is a gift from the military. You can choose to join the army in the future."
Wow, this sister was given a newly developed drone by the military. What a great help!
The young men looked at Xu Ying with more and more admiration.
"The selection process at the base in the desert is quite strict."
Xu Ying looked at the children's young faces and said earnestly, "But I see that you are all tall and strong. As long as you study hard and get into university, it shouldn't be a problem for you to participate in this special recruitment program."
Hearing that they should study hard and get into college, the six teenagers had a guilty look on their faces. They agreed to go together to release the frogs back into the water after school at noon today. They were just in a playful mood and played with these bun-shaped frogs for a long time and didn't want to go back to class.
Now it is time for class, and they thought they might as well skip class. Anyway, the teacher would have a headache seeing them, and it is not the first time they have skipped class.
But now, after hearing Xu Ying's words, their faces turned slightly red and they felt extremely guilty.
Some people thought Xu Ying's work was very interesting. "Sister, what are the requirements for working with you?"
"It's about the desertification control district staffing exam~"
Xu Ying explained the situation to the students in detail: "This special position requires a high school diploma or higher. If you can complete your studies well, prepare diligently for the exam, and have the added bonus of a local hukou, you'll definitely be able to get it."
As he spoke, Xu Ying had already released the steamed bun frogs from the net bag. The steamed bun frogs rolled in the sand, making their bodies dry, like glutinous rice balls coated with cooked soybean powder.
After they dried off their bodies, they quacked one by one to express their gratitude to Xu Ying.
[Thank you humans, I thought we were going to drown today.]
[These little brats threw us directly into the lake, which really killed the frog.]
"They are young and don't know much about animals. They meant well but ended up doing something bad."
"Otherwise, the villagers will kill you."
We just wanted to hide in a villager's house. There are many places in the oasis where we can't stay. The soil is poisonous to frogs.
Many of our companions became ill after eating insects in the soil. The insects in the villagers' homes were cleaner.
The farmlands in the oasis are concentrated next to the karez and river canals for easy irrigation. There is a distance between the farmlands and where the villagers live.
The soil in farmland is contaminated by fertilizers, but the soil in villagers' homes is fine.
"I'm here to investigate soil contamination in the oasis. Would you be willing to go back with me for a physical examination?"
Xu Ying couldn't help but poke the frog's back, which was as soft as a small ball.
"The main purpose is to check whether your bodies have been affected by fertilizer pollution. After the examination, we will send you to live in a new environment without pollution."
[Is it really that good? I do!]
[We had wanted to escape this place for a long time, but there were too many natural enemies, and we walked too slowly, so we were eaten by them before we could escape for long.]
The hind legs of the mantou frog are weak, and even jumping is very difficult for them. Their motor cells are extremely underdeveloped, so they are called the koala of the frog world.
There were thirteen mantou frogs in total, and all of them agreed to go for a check-up with Xu Ying.
This result was within Xu Ying's expectations. She continued, "Do you have any sick companions? You can call them along. We have medicine to treat their illnesses."
"If you know of other kinds of small animals, you can spread the word and have them come to me. I can take them for checkups and provide them with treatment."
[sure!]
[Stationmaster, please take us back to East Village. We will go and call our companions right away.]
Being taken from Dongcun to Crescent Lake is already a long journey for the mantou frogs.
Xu Ying glanced at her phone. It was already three in the afternoon. Seeing Wednesday displayed on her phone, she suddenly felt puzzled and looked at the teenagers: "Don't you have classes this afternoon?"
