Chapter 269: Uncle Marmot
Xu Ying paused and narrowed her eyes. "You just said you were going to donate 200,000 yuan?"
Lu Jinyu nodded weakly, his fingers still tugging at the corner of her clothes: "Really."
"Heh." Xu Ying said with a hint of sarcasm, "He even wants to take back the motorcycle keys."
"Here's your phone!" Lu Jinyu suddenly pulled out a diamond-encrusted e-sports phone from under his pillow. "Password 666666. Use my account to post on Weibo now!" He added breathlessly, "Just say that the Lu E-sports Club donated 200,000 yuan to the Snow Mountain Rescue Station."
Xu Ying took the phone, and the screen reflected her suddenly bright smile: "Oh~ It seems that Mr. Lu really cares about the little animals in our rescue station!"
Her fingers tapped the screen quickly, "I'll go find some medicine for you!"
When the notification sound of successful Weibo post sounded, the corner of Lu Jinyu's mouth twitched.
Xu Ying squatted by the rock, rubbing the soft ears of the Ili pika. The little creature's fur was like fluffy dandelions, and its black bean-like eyes blinked.
"Little Pear~" She gently scratched the pika's chin with her fingertips, "Tell me, where is your nest?"
Xu Yinggang gave this Ili pika a new name because its round butt looks like a pear.
The Ili pika squinted its eyes in comfort, its short tail twitching: "Sister, what are you doing in my nest?"
Xu Ying leaned close to its ear and whispered mysteriously, "Aren't there always some near your rabbit's nest?"
Its little paws covered its mouth, and its ears pricked up, as if it had heard some incredible secret: [You actually want that?!]
Xu Ying nodded affirmatively and handed it a small container. The container was similar to the medicine shovel used in Chinese medicine shops, but smaller in size.
Netizens noticed Xu Ying whispering to the Ili pika and couldn't help but become curious: "What is this little shovel? Is it used for shoveling Chinese medicine?"
[This Ili pika is so smart, it can even help collect herbs? ]
[Didn't Xiao Xu, the webmaster, just say that the next program would give the rabbit an intelligence test?]
[The legend of the Jade Rabbit stealing the elixir is actually true! ]
[But what kind of medicine would be found near the pika's nest? ]
After hearing Xu Ying's instructions, the Ili pika covered its eyes with its paws, a shy and embarrassed expression on its face, and lowered its head: "Well, okay then."
The furry round butt of the Ili pika twisted in the snow, leading Xu Ying deep into the crevice.
After more than ten minutes, it came back with a small shovel in its two rabbit paws, and the shovel was filled with something black.
Xu Ying put on gloves, took out a small toolbox from his backpack, went into another tent and started working.
Xu Ying spoke a few words to the director, who nodded. The main camera of the live broadcast room was then switched to the live camera of the last guest, Jia Yao.
audience:? ? ?
[What's going on? Is there something shameful?]
[Could it be that Xiao Xu's pharmaceutical technology is a secret that cannot be broadcast?]
[He's being mysterious. Is Xu Ying planning to poison our Brother Lu?]
What is Jiayao doing? Playing whack-a-mole?
In the live broadcast, Jiayao was running back and forth on the snow like an out-of-control top.
In front of him were a dozen dark holes in the ground. Every five seconds, a brown ball would pop out of a different hole.
"Wait! I'm coming here--" Jia Yao had just rushed towards the cave entrance on the left when the cry of a marmot came from the cave entrance on the right.
When he turned around, all the holes were empty, with only messy footprints on the snow.
Is Jiayao playing a real-life version of Whack-a-Mole?
[Marmot: I didn’t expect that.jpg]
[This scene looks like a ghost video of my home WiFi freezing]
【I just realized that marmots are actually groundhogs! 】
The photographer saw Jiayao being played around by the marmot and couldn't bear to watch it anymore. He pointed to the sack in the crevice and said, "Gift for meeting you!"
When Jiayao carried out a bundle of fresh onion rhizomes and came near the cave, the snow suddenly shook!
“Whoosh—”
A flash of brown-yellow lightning shot out from the main cave, drawing a perfect drifting trajectory on the snow surface. The snow particles splashed up during the sudden braking covered Jiayao's face.
A plump marmot stood up, the soft flesh on its belly still shaking, and its claws clapping loudly:
[Twolegs! Hand it over!]
The audience then saw clearly - there was no such thing as an army of marmots, it was the same marmot from beginning to end!
Relying on the underground tunnel network, it managed to perform the momentum of "thousands of troops".
[The Oscars owe it a little golden man! ]
[This fat boy can run really fast.]
The marmot snatched the rhizome but didn't leave, staring at Jiayao's backpack with his black eyes.
"That's it?" It gestured with its paw. "The production team agreed that the welcome gift would be for three people!"
Jiayao understood what the short fat boy meant by the gesture: "How do you know there are two more bundles?"
He had originally planned to leave two bundles to lure marmots and return to the meeting point with himself.
Jiayao looked embarrassed: "Your small body can't even carry three bundles of shallots."
The marmot squeaked and rolled his eyes: [Give it to me or not? If you don’t, I’ll make a scene!]
But it didn't realize that not all humans could understand what it said like Stationmaster Xiao Xu.
Jiayao had no idea what the little fat guy was talking about.
Seeing that Jiayao didn't agree to his request, Marmot suddenly opened his voice and shouted: "Ah——!!"
The classic marmot screams echoed through the snow-capped mountains, and the snow on the rock walls fell down.
【Hahaha, restore the source of the emoticon package! 】
[Wow, the call of a real groundhog is like a whistle, so penetrating.]
"Here you go!"
Jiayao covered his ears and shouted.
This little thing is really hard to deal with, it's like a naughty little bully!
Jiayao compromised and took out two more bundles of shallot rhizomes and placed them in front of the marmot.
The marmot immediately picked up the root of the sand onion and started chewing it on the spot, looking like he had no intention of leaving.
Jia Yao glanced helplessly at the time on his watch and said, "Little Ancestor, can we go to the meeting point first? We can eat after we get there."
The marmot ignored him and gnawed on the roots of the sand onion with relish.
Jiayao: "Brother, there are still a lot of delicious food at the gathering point."
The marmot buried his head in his food, mumbling, "Let's finish the shallot rhizomes first, then move on to other delicious food. I need to save the delicious food."
Jiayao watched the marmot nibbling the roots of the sand onion leisurely, not in a hurry at all, and quickly added: "Master, gather some delicious food. If you don't eat it now, it will be eaten by other small animals later!"
The marmot's little ears suddenly stood up, and its black bean-sized eyes rolled around.
Suddenly, it turned over and lay on the snow with its four legs facing the sky. Its furry belly rose and fell with its breathing, its two front paws leisurely crossed on its belly, and it was chewing a piece of shallot rhizome in its mouth, just like a master waiting to be served.
[So what are you waiting for? Hurry up.]
There is one more chapter that will be released before 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. My eyes are a little blurry from revising the text and I can't see the screen clearly QAQ
