Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Duped

The Spotted-breasted Sparrow also helped by bringing a feather-legged sand chicken, [Station Chief, Station Chief, I brought you a persuader!]

The feather-legged sand chicken had heard of Xu Ying, [Little Xu Station Chief, let’s go together to see our captured kin, with me around, they should feel more at ease~]

In the sky, many birds had already flown over to see the famous Little Xu Station Chief in the desert, about a dozen of them circling around Xu Ying, looking quite lively.

Xu Ying couldn’t help but sigh, it seems that no matter where you are, having acquaintances to handle things makes everything easier!

After asking the birds to carry some branches of desert plants, Xu Ying led her feathered friends back to where the feather-legged sand chicken was.

With so many birds flying over together, chirping noisily, the four tied-up feather-legged sand chickens were puzzled for a while when they saw all these birds, their bodies trembling less.

The persuader invited by the Spotted-breasted Sparrow landed in front of its kin, [Companions, don’t be afraid, these people are good, they are animal rescuers who protect wildlife.]

[The bad guys who hurt you have already been taken away by them~]

[To reassure everyone, this Little Xu Station Chief from the animal rescue station even found some food for you all.]

The captured feather-legged sand chickens listened to their kin’s words, their black pearl-like eyes looking at Xu Ying, with suspicion and doubt.

Xu Ying squatted down, scattering the seeds collected with the help of the birds in front of them, patiently saying to them: [We are here to cut the ropes on you and set you free.]

[The criminals who harmed you have been caught and are locked in those police cars, they will be put in a cage after being taken back.]

Having said that, she took a small shovel from the toolbox and started digging a hole in the sand.

Then she carefully placed the deceased feather-legged sand chicken into the sand pit with her gloved hands, while the birds holding branches of desert plants flew down and covered the sand chicken with the branches.

All of Xu Ying’s actions were filled with love and respect for the animals, gradually, the four captured feather-legged sand chickens let down their guard and finally started to speak.

[We…we were just too scared.]

[Little Xu Station Chief, can you help us get these ropes off us?]

Xu Ying nodded, she looked at the scissors in Kong Cheng’s hand, they were too sharp, gleaming with a metallic sheen, looking intimidating, so she said to the birds behind her: “Can you guys flap your wings to shield these little ones from seeing this?”

The smaller birds flew over, chatting with the captured feather-legged sand chickens and telling stories of Xu Ying rescuing small animals in the desert.

Seeing that the feather-legged sand chicken’s attention was diverted, Xu Ying picked up the scissors and began to snip the ropes, “Don’t move, you’ll be free soon.”

Soon, the four feather-legged sand chickens felt the ropes sliding off them, and they were free!

Xu Ying lightened her tone, stepped back a few steps, giving them space and waved, “Alright, you can go now, remember to take these foods with you.”

Regaining their freedom, the feather-legged sand chickens exchanged glances, full of surprise and delight, [Thank you, Little Xu Station Chief!]

[We will remember your kindness.]

Xu Ying spoke loudly, “No need to thank me, just live well, and if you notice anything suspicious or have any difficulty, remember to come to the rescue station for help~”

[We will!]

The feather-legged sand chickens flapped their wings and flew away, and from then on, Xu Ying gained more ambassadors in the desert.

The birds, seeing that they had helped Little Xu Station Chief, left joyfully flapping their wings.

Meanwhile, the police officers had thoroughly searched Feng Qingdai and Jeff’s off-road vehicle, and had taken them into custody.

Witnessing Xu Ying’s popularity in the desert, everyone was astonished.

Ning Zexi was envious of Xu Ying’s popularity, sighed, and muttered, “Is this the legendary ’Fear not the road ahead, for no one in the world doesn’t know you’?”

Everyone burst into laughter at Ning Zexi’s words: “Quoting poetry right away, are you preparing for the grad school exam?”

Xu Ying beamed brightly, patting Ning Zexi on the shoulder, “You’re so witty and humorous, one day you’ll be popular too!”

In terms of creating a social media account, Ning Zexi helped her a lot, Xu Ying generously sent Ning Zexi a red envelope on WeChat, then said

:”I got a bonus today, and the lettuce at my home is almost ready to harvest, when I take a vacation, I’ll have my fellow villagers from Dongqing Village bring back some large fish and meat from the county, and I’ll personally cook you a feast!”

“Brat, I’m older than you, show some respect for your elder.”

Ning Zexi, upon hearing about the feast, grinned widely, returned Xu Ying’s transfer, and waved his phone: “Just treat me to good food and drink, that’s enough!”

Thanks to Xu Ying’s popularity, Ning Zexi rode the wave as her sidekick, gaining quite some fame with seventy thousand followers.

Ning Zexi was more concerned about something else, he glanced at Chen Su and raised his voice: “When you treat me to a feast, it’s just me, right?”

Xu Ying nodded, “Yup, didn’t we agree that when the vegetables ripen, I’d treat you to a meal?”

Now, since suspects couldn’t be allowed to drive, only the officers could drive the off-road vehicles to the police station.

Chen Su got the suspect’s car keys and was ready to drive the off-road vehicle but paused when he heard their conversation.

“Alright, alright, it’s settled then.”

Ning Zexi took a step onto his motorcycle, his mouth turned up into a smirk, eyes shining with a hint of pride: “Wait for your invitation!”

Xu Ying, realizing it was already almost the end of the month, thought for a moment and said: “How about we set it for December 2nd! We can watch Ling Yu’s game live while eating, it’ll be so lively.”

Today ended perfectly, after bidding farewell to the police officers, Xu Ying lifted the crate containing the long-eared hedgehog, prepared to head to headquarters in her flashy four-wheeled desert scooter.

The rescue headquarters was located central to all the rescue areas, it was closer for her to go to the headquarters, to grab a meal from the canteen and check on the fox cubs.

She wasn’t used to not having the clingy little ones around, she started missing them just a few days apart.

Xu Ying started the engine and sped through the desert.

Meanwhile, the three off-road vehicles and police cars followed on either side to escort her, she felt deeply honored though she knew it was a convenient route between the headquarters and the police station.

At the same time, Ning Zexi was struggling to keep up on his two-wheeled motorcycle, revving it hard to catch up, stuck behind an off-road vehicle swallowing its exhaust.

Ning Zexi highly suspected that the off-road vehicle blocking his way was driven by Chen Su, retaliating against him.

After traveling a certain distance together, Xu Ying bid farewell to everyone and headed towards the headquarters.

By the time she reached the rescue headquarters, it was already dusky, she parked her vehicle and dashed toward the canteen, starving.

Little did she expect to hear the canteen lady’s sobbing complaints as soon as she entered.

“How could those fraudsters be so heartless!”
