Chapter 41: Another Enchanting Panda!
"Wang Hai, keep it up! Even Xiao Hui is better than you. No wonder Xiao Hui looks down on you."
By the lake, Li Wu teased Wang Hai.
"You talk as if you've caught something, but it's not like you got nothing at all."
"Not even worth a single hair of Little Grey!"
Wang Hai responded angrily.
Both of them were lively and funny. After setting up their fishing nets, they tried to catch fish, but they didn't catch a single one.
On the contrary, Little Gray caught one.
So the two of them argued for a bit.
When Xiao Hui heard the two mention his name, he looked at them with a stern face and a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Then it looked at Xu Ran and immediately wagged its tail happily.
The puppy has two faces.
Some dogs are like that; they only recognize their owners.
Xu Ran was relaxed, after all, he had already caught three big fish, enough for the farm's employees to eat.
There are also well-prepared fishing nets; you're bound to catch a few no matter what.
enough.
Xu Ran circled around the bank for a while, but perhaps because the big fish sensed that a "King of Hell" had come to the riverbank, they all disappeared and dared not approach the bank again.
This prevented him from catching any other fish.
"Li Wu, Wang Hai, you two stay here and keep an eye on things. Remember to take the fish back later."
"I went for a walk in the mountains and came back by myself."
Xu Ran, thinking of going to the mountains, said to the two of them.
"Ran-ge, no problem, we'll be fine here!"
The two immediately agreed.
Countless mushrooms sprouted in the mountains after the rain; I only regretted that my basket wasn't big enough to hold them all.
Then, Xu Ran led the Border Collie and the wild boar into the depths of the mountains and forests.
The mountain range stretches endlessly, and the area he is currently active in doesn't even account for one percent of that range.
Many wild animals live there.
Every year, expedition teams go in to investigate and record.
This was also necessary. Back then, the crested ibis was almost declared extinct. It was an old professor who insisted that it was not extinct. He led a team to conduct multiple investigations and finally discovered wild crested ibis. He protected the crested ibis and it has slowly reproduced to this day.
The last expedition team, led by Sun Wei, encountered wild giant pandas with the help of Xu Ran; otherwise, the results of this expedition would have been greatly diminished.
After all, this is where wild giant pandas live.
Xu Ran brought up the [Rare Plant Distribution Map].
The map is so full of markings, it's almost impossible to see them all!
Rare and precious mushrooms are everywhere.
Xu Ran didn't bring a bamboo basket, only a cloth bag.
Pick some of the better quality morel and termite mushrooms you come across.
Little Gray was very curious about the forest and would always run to a distance to observe it before returning.
"Little Grey, don't go too far, watch out for snakes!"
"Don't you dare mess around!"
Xu Ran saw it run away and immediately reminded it.
The mortality rate of country dogs is very high because the forests are dangerous, with venomous snakes and insects everywhere.
One bite and you're basically done for.
However, Little Grey is very alert, and it can easily dodge any snakes it encounters.
As for the wild boar, Xu Ran trusted it completely and didn't need to remind it.
After all, wild boars have thick skin and tough flesh, so they aren't afraid of these things.
Xu Ran walked uphill, and ahead was a bamboo forest.
The bamboo forest was so dense that it was really difficult to walk through.
He found a path and weaved through the bamboo, with Little Gray and the little wild boar following closely behind.
The purpose of this trip was naturally to see wild giant pandas.
Xu Ran brought two apples with her when she came out, specifically for the giant panda.
It's been a long time since I've seen it, I'd really like to see it.
After all, giant pandas are genuine national treasures, and they are simply lovable creatures.
Some people say that animals with black and white coloring have abnormal personalities, such as giant pandas, killer whales, calico cats, huskies, and border collies.
Giant pandas are known for their advanced personality; they often sit there, munching on bamboo in a melancholic, dazed state, seemingly indifferent to life or death.
They clearly have no worries about food and drink, but they give off a feeling of "I'm tired, let's destroy it, hurry up and get rid of it."
Occasionally, a lively moment or a few actions can elicit screams of surprise from people.
Xu Ran moved very quickly and didn't feel tired even after walking for so long. Little Gray and Little Wild Boar were even more so; these two had great stamina and could keep up.
They both enjoyed exploring new maps and had a lot of fun.
We climbed upwards until we passed through the bamboo forest, and then climbed a further distance.
"Little Fatty!"
Xu Ran shouted loudly into the mountains and forests.
The mountains and forests are too vast; if we just keep searching like this, we'll never find a giant panda. Since there's no one around anyway, we might as well just call out.
Little Gray heard Xu Ran calling for his other friends, so he immediately ran ahead, pricked up his ears, and stared intently ahead.
This guy is looking forward to making new friends.
"Little Fatty!"
Xu Ran called out again.
"Thump thump thump thump thump"
Then, a giant panda emerged from the bamboo forest, taking light, quick steps as it ran towards Xu Ran.
It's funny when pandas run.
Its head swayed back and forth, and its pigeon-toed hind legs moved rapidly.
However, the speed is not slow.
Although Xiao Hui had seen giant pandas before and even deliberately yelled at them to scare them, he was still a little flustered when he saw a huge creature as big as a mountain rushing towards him. He turned around and ran behind Xu Ran.
Its size is too intimidating.
Xu Ran, on the other hand, was laughing happily.
That big guy really is here!
The giant panda ran all the way to Xu Ran. It had been a long time since he'd seen him, and the guy was still as cute as ever, though he seemed to have gotten a little rounder.
Xu Ran immediately took out an apple and gave it to it.
When visiting someone's home, you should definitely bring a small gift.
The giant panda was very large; standing next to Xu Ran, it looked like a small mountain, creating a truly imposing presence.
Xu Ran then patted its head.
Petting giant pandas is really fun.
Ordinary people don't get this kind of treatment.
The key is that under normal circumstances, if someone doesn't run away when they encounter a wild giant panda, they're a real man.
Xu Ran dared to be so unscrupulous because she had completed the task and increased her favorability with Xiao Pang.
"It would be great if this big guy could be kept on a farm."
"I'll build you a bamboo forest then."
Xu Ran pondered.
His idea is dangerous.
Keeping giant pandas without permission could land you in jail for life.
Give yourself a secure job, and while you're at it, add iron doors, iron windows, and iron chains.
Of course, if the giant pandas are willing to come over on their own initiative, that would be a different story.
Xu Ran was having close contact with the giant pandas, while Xiao Hui watched from a distance of five meters.
Seeing that there was no danger, it slowly approached.
Little Grey wagged its tail, called out to the giant panda, and greeted it.
The giant panda was very laid-back, sitting down on the ground, eating an apple, and ignoring it.
Xu Ran looked down and saw that Little Gray's paw was about the same size as a giant panda's.
It's possible to crush it with one step.
Xu Ran laughed again.
Having a few animals around and breathing in the forest air feels quite pleasant.
Farm life is generally tiring; you have to get up early and there's a lot of work to do.
But now, Xu Ran is truly living the idyllic rural life she longed for.
It's even better than I imagined.
Giant pandas have a very good and stable personality; their weight and demeanor exude a sense of composure.
Immovable as a mountain.
Xu Ran watched from the side, occasionally patting its head.
Both body and mind relax.
After all, Xu Ran enjoys raising animals, and that's where her greatest pleasure lies.
