Chapter 280 Traffic Police in the Animal World
After these Taimen emerged one after another, they gradually formed schools of fish. Even their swimming postures became synchronized. They maintained group formation by adjusting their body postures, just like the collaborative hunting of wolves.
Xu Ying has a deep understanding of this group of "freshwater wolves".
But soon, she discovered that something was being pushed up from the bottom of the lake!
Xu Ying looked closely and found that what was pushed up by the school of fish was actually a plastic baffle.
The plastic baffle was pushed by the Taimen and under the ice where Xu Ying was.
The leading Taimen Grandma spoke: "This board has been placed under the ice, and my children and grandchildren are now supporting it from below."
[If the ice breaks, my sons and grandsons will hold you up on the plastic sheet, so don't worry.]
Dense swarms of Taimen under the ice supported the plastic board, creating a "temporary safety island" for Xu Ying.
Taimen are large freshwater fish, the largest of which can weigh up to 50 kilograms, heavier than Xu Ying, and are one to four meters long. So many big fish with thick skin and flesh are pushing up the plastic board.
Xu Ying could feel the fragile ice surface beneath him becoming solid.
Her heart felt like it was gently bumped by something, and it felt warm and swollen.
For the first time, Xu Ying thought a group of fish were so handsome!
She couldn't help but sigh: "Oh my god, you guys are so handsome, it makes me feel so safe!"
When Grandma Tailuo heard Xu Ying’s praise, her tail almost stood up to the sky.
[Come on, come on, chat with me for a while. I’m really curious about your human world.]
There was no need to worry about the ice cracking and falling into the water. Xu Ying nodded immediately: "Just ask me if you have anything!"
The Taimen pouts upwards: "Are there fish in that lake above us? What do they look like? Can they live to be 100 years old like us Taimen?"
"The lake above?" Xu Ying looked up in confusion. Above her head was the blue sky with white clouds. She soon understood that the Taimen mistook the sky for a lake.
The fish's perspective is quite interesting!
Xu Ying explained with a smile: "There is the sky above our heads. There are no fish but there are birds. The water vapor on the ground rises into the sky and forms rain."
[So that's how it is. I see it raining occasionally above us, and I thought it was because the lake above us was too full and overflowing, and it was all spilling over us.]
The Taimen's small eyes had a big question mark: "Then why do you bipeds always like to stand by the water and do strange things? Are you performing some mysterious ritual?"
Xu Ying quickly understood that it was referring to tourists taking photos by the lake: "This human behavior is called checking in and taking photos."
"We humans have an instrument that can record and freeze the present moment. By printing it onto a small piece of paper, we can remember this moment forever."
The Taimen kept asking many questions, and Xu Ying patiently answered them all.
[Then why do you humans prefer eating big fish like us instead of plankton?]
Xu Ying scratched his head. "Because we have a lot of vegetables on land, they are more delicious than plankton. Plankton is not enough for us to fill our teeth. Big fish has firm meat."
The Taimen seemed to understand: "So that's how it is. Then when I'm about to die, I'm willing to let you eat me."
Xu Ying was frightened by the Taimen Grandma's enthusiasm and selflessness and quickly refused. "No, no, I don't like eating fish that much."
At this moment, a huge ripple appeared on the lake surface, and a nearly two-meter-long, strong-looking Taimen fish surfaced:
[Oh my goodness! We found the device this biped was talking about!]
When Xu Ying heard the good news, he immediately became excited.
She first asked for the approximate location of the instrument, so that the otter diver could get directly to the destination: "In which direction is the instrument located?"
The Taimen's head was pointed northwest. [Swim in this direction until you reach the broken ice sheet. There's a lot of broken ice near that large ice sheet. It's probably right there.]
At this point, Taimen Taisun said in an awkward tone: [It's a bit far from where we are now. It's sunk to the bottom of the lake and we can't move it.]
"It doesn't matter. I'll just send out the divers I hired next!"
Xu Ying's tone was filled with pleading: "I will ask three otters to help later. I need you to send one of your members to act as a guide and take them to the location of the instrument."
"Can you accept that?"
She quickly added, "The otters won't compete with you for food. We've already fed them well when we're on shore."
Grandma Taimen was very satisfied with Xu Ying's companionship and generously said, "Of course, no problem. I can even have my children and grandchildren catch a few fish to treat them!"
[But only today, because I'm doing this for the sake of Webmaster Xiao Xu.]
"Our grandma is so generous!" Xu Ying was amused by Grandma Tailuo's words.
She used the intercom to signal Zhang Yongfeng on the shore: "Captain Zhang, you can send the Otter Special Forces!"
——"Okay, let's do it now!"
Zhang Yongfeng received Xu Ying’s signal and was excited. The location of the instrument had been found!
The otter family of three has eaten and drunk enough and is full of energy.
After receiving the signal to support Stationmaster Xiao Xu, they climbed onto the ice with funny steps.
Unlike Xu Ying who walked cautiously on the ice, the otter family of three was like professional skaters, sliding a long distance on their bellies at an extremely fast speed.
Xu Ying took out a small, brightly colored flag from his pocket and waved it to point Shuise in the direction of the instrument.
——"Over there, in that direction!"
——"You're sliding too far, brake quickly!"
——“Stop! Stop!”
Xu Ying waved the small flag in his hand wildly and waved excitedly.
The three otters that had slid past heard Xu Ying's call and quickly used their front and rear paws to brake, turning around and crawling back on the ice.
[Stationmaster Xu, we saw a huge Taimen blowing bubbles.]
Xu Ying breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, yes, it's right here!"
The scene of Xu Ying commanding the Otter Special Forces was so funny that it diluted the tension of netizens.
[Stationmaster Xiao Xu is like an animal traffic policeman! ]
[I almost fainted from laughing. Xu Ying's flag was almost spinning like a whirlwind.]
[After one set of operations, we can call 200 taxis at the train station.]
The otter divers found the right spot to dive.
Xu Ying used the intercom to talk to the rescue team, saying, "We can have the production team's drone deliver a rope to the otter."
The program team started up the drone that delivered supplies and lowered a long rope into the air with a hook at one end.
The three members of the otter family all looked up at the fallen rope and looked in the direction of Xu Ying in confusion.
"Go into the water later, and Taimen will lead you down to where the equipment is."
Xu Ying warned them like a worried parent, "Don't fight."
