“嘟嘟嘟——”
Staring at the hung-up phone, Zhu Xue Song fell into deep thought.
What did he just hear?
Red-Junglefowl?
Chinese Spot-billed Duck?
They were caught by a Golden Eagle and brought to Su Ze's farm?
Zhu Xue Song rubbed his aching brow.
This Su Ze...
When did he get involved with a Golden Eagle?
One phone call, and it involved a national Level 2 protected animal and two national Level 1 protected animals?
This is just...
For a moment, Zhu Xue Song didn't know where to start complaining.
However, the most important thing now is to call for help.
......
“Su Ge, are you home?”
Three students from the Agricultural College arrived outside Su Ze's courtyard.
Spring plowing was approaching, and they were coming to do the initial record-keeping and preparatory work for Su Ze's seedlings.
But as soon as they reached the gate, they froze.
Through the gaps in the fence, they saw Su Ze, and...
The proud Golden Eagle.
And the lively, energetic Red-Junglefowl, darting around Su Xiao Qiang.
And the Chinese Spot-billed Duck, quacking away with the white geese.
Not to mention the white fox and tiger cubs running around the courtyard.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing was the…
“Holy crap, a snake!”
“A giant python!”
“Su Ge, you…?”
“This, this, this…?”
“What in the world happened?!”
The three students stood there, dumbfounded.
Frozen in shock.
Red-Junglefowl.
Chinese Spot-billed Duck.
And… a python!
What in the world…
Happened?
As the students were exclaiming, Su Ze, who had been outsmarting the python, noticed the three at the gate.
He quickly shouted, “The gate isn't locked!”
“You guys arrived just in time, come help!”
As he spoke, the three students opened the gate and rushed in.
“Quick, catch that chicken!”
It seemed that the gate opening gave the Red-Junglefowl a chance.
It tried to dart out of the gate.
Thankfully, the three students were quick, working together, left and right.
The Red-Junglefowl was caught.
Looking at the colorful creature in their hands, the students were absolutely sure.
This was a Red-Junglefowl.
A national Level 2 protected animal.
“Thanks, thanks.”
Su Xiao Qiang stepped forward, took the Red-Junglefowl, and tossed it into the chicken coop.
Then the four of them went together to help Su Ze free himself from the python.
Seeing the python subdued, Su Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Su Ge…”
“What happened here?”
The three students were filled with question marks.
Su Ze: “Xiao Qiang, show them the video.”
Su Ze was tired.
He sat down and took a sip of water.
The students, after watching the video, were dumbfounded.
“Golden Eagle?”
“These guys…?”
“They were all brought by the Golden Eagle???”
The three students were dumbfounded.
In the video.
The Golden Eagle flapped its wings, delivering a chicken and a duck.
And in the end,
It even delivered the python.
So this was…
The Golden Eagle’s gratitude?
Yesterday, Su Ge made a delicious meal for the Golden Eagle.
And today, the Golden Eagle brought ‘delicious food’ for Su Ge?
But these ‘delicious food’ items were pretty brutal, weren’t they!
......
About an hour later.
Zhu Xue Song arrived with the Animal Protection Center staff and the Forest Police.
Red-Junglefowl, Chinese Spot-billed Duck, and even the Golden Eagle.
These were all important protected animals.
Among them,
The Golden Eagle and the Chinese Spot-billed Duck were even endangered, national Level 1 protected animals.
They deserved to be treated carefully.
Therefore, the Forest Police even brought a special net gun for catching birds.
It was meant to capture the Golden Eagle and the other animals safely later.
“Su Ze!”
Zhu Xue Song opened the gate and brought his team in.
As soon as they entered, they saw an incredibly strange scene.
The animals in the courtyard were lined up in a row.
They were: Golden Eagle, white fox, Chinese Spot-billed Duck, white goose, Red-Junglefowl, Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai, and even the subdued python.
The animals stood in a row, all looking dejected.
And in front of them, Su Ze was lecturing them one by one.
“Xiao Huang, Xiao Bai, white fox, and you, white goose!”
“The Golden Eagle doesn’t know better, but you guys are all messing around too!”
“Running around the courtyard, and you guys don’t even help out!”
“Don’t you laugh!”
“You big python, you even wrapped yourself around me!”
“And you, Golden Eagle…!”
Seeing Su Ze scolding these animals like he was scolding children, they didn’t dare move.
Zhu Xue Song and his team were all stunned.
These animals…
Were they really this obedient???
Standing in a row?
Waiting to be scolded?
The funny part was, the Golden Eagle and the python were actually there?
The top and bottom tiers of the food chain, so harmonious?
For a moment,
Zhu Xue Song and his team all felt like they were questioning reality.
It felt like they…
Were seeing things.
At this time, Su Ze also noticed the arrival of Zhu Xue Song and his team.
“Zhu Ju, you finally came.”
Su Ze quickly stepped forward and shook hands with Zhu Xue Song.
After a brief greeting, Su Ze called out:
“Golden Eagle, come here for a second!”
It seemed like the Golden Eagle had noticed Zhu Xue Song and his team’s weapons, which were dangerous.
The Golden Eagle didn’t move.
Not only did the Golden Eagle not move, it even flapped its wings and tried to leave.
“I’m Lao Tzu, Shu Dao Shan!”
As soon as Su Ze finished speaking.
The Golden Eagle’s expression clearly became deflated.
Then.
It slowly moved over.
It looked like a student going to see their teacher.
When the Golden Eagle arrived in front of him, Su Ze said,
“Be good, follow this uncle later.”
“This uncle will take you on a trip.”
“To a really fun place to travel, okay?”
As Su Ze spoke, he took out a bowl of spiritual water to entice it.
The Golden Eagle, which had been unwilling to obey Su Ze, saw the spiritual water and…
Reluctantly agreed.
“Get in the car!”
With Su Ze’s words, the Golden Eagle glanced at Su Ze reluctantly, then slowly moved into the Animal Protection Center’s car.
Got in the car…
The Golden Eagle…
Got in the car???
Zhu Xue Song and his team looked at each other, dumbfounded.
They thought this capture would be difficult.
They not only brought a special net gun, but also prepared for potential injuries.
But the result?
Su Ze’s smooth talking worked.
The Golden Eagle obediently got in the car itself???
Zhu Xue Song and his team shook their heads repeatedly, questioning reality.
Once the Golden Eagle got in the car, the rest was easy.
The Red-Junglefowl, Chinese Spot-billed Duck.
Even the python was sent into the car.
“Okay, Su Ze, we’ll go now.”
The animals were sent into the car, Zhu Xue Song said goodbye to Su Ze and led his team away.
As they left, Zhu Xue Song looked at the animals still standing in a row in the courtyard.
He rubbed his brow.
Everything that happened today was a bit unbelievable!
Could it be that Su Ze was…
A druid???
......
After sending Zhu Xue Song and his team away, Su Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Xue Song had just told him.
They were going to release the Golden Eagle in an animal protection zone in a different province.
It was very far away, almost a thousand kilometers in a straight line.
It definitely wouldn’t be able to return!
......
“Su Ge!”
“We’re done.”
The students from the Agricultural College came down from the second floor.
After freeing Su Ze from the python, they went up to the second floor to record the initial data for the seedlings.
For future research.
As soon as they came back down to the first floor, they smelled a fragrance in the air.
“Goose!”
“Big goose!”
“That’s right, it’s the smell of goose braised in a pot!”
“Su Ge is making dinner!”
“My god, it smells so good.”
“I can’t move my feet!”
The students murmured amongst themselves, drooling at the kitchen door.
Reason told them.
They should leave now, going to the canteen to mooch off their meal would be too shameless.
But their stomachs were holding a different opinion.
They thought that shame wasn’t worth anything, they should just sit down and eat a free meal.
Su Ze, who was busy in the kitchen, was in a good mood after sending away the Golden Eagle.
He even bought a big goose from the market and braised it in a big pot.
As for why it was a goose.
Of course, it was to warn the white geese in the courtyard.
To make it behave.
Otherwise, next time it would be in the pot!
As he turned his head, Su Ze saw the three students at the door.
“Hey, are you guys done?”
“It’s just about dinner time, why don’t you stay and have a meal?”
As Su Ze spoke.
The students’ eyes lit up, they nodded in unison.
But when they spoke, they said, “Su Ge… that wouldn’t be good…”
Su Ze saw them nod but then speak modestly, and he chuckled.
“It’s fine, fine, I braised a whole goose today.”
“Just the two of us can’t finish it.”
“Xiao Qiang!”
“Give…?”
Su Ze saw the students stunned for a moment and said,
“We’ve known each other for so long, I don’t even know your names.”
The students quickly said,
“Su Ge, my name is Liu Pang Pang, they all like to call me Pang Zi.” The first one to introduce himself was a chubby boy.
“Su Ge, my name is Shi Guang Hao, you can just call me Shi Tou.” This was a tall and thin boy.
“Su Ge, my name is Luo Xiao Qiao, you can just call me Qiao Qiao.”
The last one to speak was a little girl with a sweet smile.
Su Ze nodded at them.
“Pang Zi, Shi Tou, Qiao Qiao.”
They were all easy to remember.
“Okay, go wash your hands.”
“Let’s eat.”
Hearing Su Ze’s words, Pang Zi and the others cheered.
“Long live Su Ge!”
“Let’s go, go, go, wash our hands and eat!”
“Yay, today was a happy day!”
The enthusiastic teenagers brought a different kind of life to the courtyard.
Especially when they were eating at the table.
It made Su Ze understand what it meant to fight over dishes.
“Hey, this wing is mine!”
“You already ate one, give this one to me!”
“Pang Zi, put down the bowl!!!”
