HPDBC Chapter 24 The Giant Panda Came Down the Mountain?!
Chapter 24 The Giant Panda Came Down the Mountain?!
After a busy period, the expedition team officially concluded its mission.
With the visual data of the giant pandas, the report on this expedition will be much easier to write and will definitely attract attention.
Meanwhile, related promotional materials and videos will also be broadcast on public media.
These are all standard procedures within the system.
Xu Ran will also be featured in some shots during this inspection, although he won't have many shots during official events.
"Director Xu, thank you so much for today!"
Sun Wei, the leader of the expedition team, thanked him, saying, "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to get up this mountain. This mountain is rich in resources. In addition to giant pandas, we also found traces of small carnivores."
"This is truly a blessed land."
Xu Ran smiled and said, "Of course, I think this activity is very interesting."
The group packed their belongings and prepared to descend the mountain.
The path down the mountain was not easy to walk; the slope was very steep, and we still had to be careful.
Everyone is used to mountain running, so it's not very difficult for them.
The inspection process was somewhat tiring, but fortunately it was all worthwhile.
Soon, the group was on the mountain road back, and seeing the cement road lifted everyone's spirits.
"The expedition is over. There will be opportunities to come to the Qinling Mountains again."
"It's finally over."
Everyone shouted excitedly.
They walked to the farm gate, and the expedition team's vehicle was parked on the open ground next to the farm.
"Director Xu, we're leaving now."
The members of the expedition team waved goodbye to Xu Ran.
"goodbye."
Xu Ran smiled and waved.
Just then, an owl suddenly flew down from the sky and landed on Xu Ran's shoulder.
This guy always appears without a sound.
However, Xu Ran had already gotten used to it.
This scene, however, startled the members of the expedition team.
"Is this... an owl?"
Do owls fly like that?
"Holy crap, where did this come from?"
The members of the expedition team were stunned.
Xu Ran smiled and explained:
"That's right. I rescued it before and reported it to the police at the local police station. Later, people from the forestry bureau came and released it back into the wild, and it flew back to the farm."
"Now they've made their nest in the big locust tree on the farm."
"It's not afraid of me either, and sometimes it will land on my shoulder."
That being said, the sight of a large bird landing on one's shoulder, like a loyal guard, was undeniably cool.
Being able to tame a bird is something that attracts attention anywhere.
"It woke up quite early today. It used to come out around 8 or 9 pm, and it always startled me when it appeared."
Xu Ran explained further.
"This is amazing! Do wild owls get friendly with humans?"
Wu Fei, a member of the expedition team, looked on with envy.
Just then, Li Wu, a farm employee, came out and immediately explained:
"That owl doesn't get close to anyone, except Ran-ge; no one else can get near it."
Hearing this, the group was somewhat surprised.
The same was true for the giant panda we encountered today.
Xu Ran is very close to giant pandas.
However, if anyone tries to approach, the giant panda immediately retreats defensively.
outrageous.
The members of the expedition team couldn't help but have some doubts.
How can there be such a huge difference between people!
The members of the expedition team watched for a short while. As it was getting late, they had to go back. After saying goodbye to Xu Ran, they got into their car and left.
Xu Ran petted the owl and returned to the farm.
Regarding the expert fee, Sun Wei told him that it would arrive within two weeks. Because there are procedures for expense reimbursement during business trips in the system, it usually requires all the receipts to be pasted up, have them signed by the leader, and then go to the finance department, so it will be relatively slow.
But the money will definitely arrive.
I earned another 3000 yuan in one day.
Things gradually got better.
I used to think it would be hard to make money running a farm, but now I make money every day.
It's so comfortable.
When Xu Ran returned to the farm, the dogs greeted him warmly and circled around him.
This feels great.
Animals are very smart; they know exactly who is the boss.
Dinner was ready, and after everyone finished eating as usual, those who needed to go home went home, and those who needed to rest went to rest.
There was no unfinished work like in the workplace, no materials to prepare overtime. Although I was physically tired, I felt relaxed.
This is pretty much what life on a farm is like.
The next day.
Seven o'clock in the morning.
Li Wu rode his electric bike from the town along a highway toward the farm.
This road is also a road leading into the mountains. It is a bit old and has potholes in some places without repairs, but it is generally smooth.
He knew this road very well and could drive to the farm entirely by muscle memory.
As he approached the farm gate, he vaguely saw a dark figure peering inside.
The morning light wasn't very bright yet, so it looked a little blurry.
Li Wu sped up and shouted at the same time:
"Who is it? Who are you looking for?"
At his shout, the dark figure immediately turned its head.
For a moment, Li Wu felt his mind go completely blank.
That's a giant panda!
Giant panda, a national treasure!
It just lay there at the farm entrance, peering into the farm!
Li Wu thought he was seeing things for a moment!
Waterfaring?!
Giant panda?
Does the farm have giant pandas?
Are you kidding me!
He immediately gripped the brakes and stopped, not daring to go any further.
Who could stand this!
He was hesitating when Zhang Wen arrived.
Zhang Wen saw Li Wu stop halfway and walked over to say:
"Why did you stop here!"
He had barely finished speaking when he saw the giant panda at the entrance.
"Holy crap!"
Zhang Wen was so frightened that he immediately turned the car around, almost causing it to tip over, but thankfully he managed to keep it stable.
He drove a distance before stopping to look at the giant panda.
"What's going on?"
Zhang Wen immediately asked.
"How was I supposed to know? A panda came running over in broad daylight!"
Li Wu was equally dumbfounded.
At this moment, the Border Collie barked outside. Upon hearing the barking, the giant panda immediately turned around, put on all fours, and waddled away.
Only then did Zhang Wen and Li Wu dare to enter the farm.
Xu Ran heard the dog barking and came out of the farm to see what was happening.
"Ran-ge, don't come out! There was a huge panda here, lying on the farm gate!"
Zhang Wen quickly explained.
"Giant panda?"
Xu Ran was stunned for a moment.
"No way, it managed to find its way here?"
"That's quite a long journey!"
Xu Ran was somewhat surprised.
He went outside to look.
Regardless of the circumstances, bringing a national treasure down from the mountain is a significant event.
It would be bad if someone got hurt or if someone got hurt.
Sure enough, the giant panda hadn't gone far; it was trotting along the mountain path, looking somewhat flustered.
Wild animals are very alert and they generally avoid humans.
There have been previous cases of giant pandas stealing and eating sheep, hiding from humans and doing so secretly. However, one time they were caught red-handed, and the villagers called the police.
"Little Fatty! It really is you!"
"Why did you come down the mountain!"
Xu Ran immediately shouted.
Upon hearing Xu Ran's voice, the giant panda immediately ran towards him.
Li Wu and Zhang Wen looked at each other in bewilderment.
Both of them were filled with shock.
What's going on here?
Does the owner of this giant panda know him?
Is this really that outrageous?
