Chapter 268: Chapter 267: The Working Sheep’s Miserable Fate

Another gust of snow blew past, and Lu Jinyu suddenly swayed in the snowfield.

His vision went black and his knees buckled, “thump” he fell into the snowpile, passing out in a grand fashion.

The cameraman panicked, “Brother Lu, are you alright?!”

The Rock Sheep leader perked up its ears.

As the show’s specially invited “animal guest,” it snorted helplessly: [Troublemaker!]

Netizens were also startled by Lu Jinyu’s fainting.

[Where’s the doctor? Call the doctor quickly, don’t let people die in my phone!!]

[Rock Sheep, save him quickly! You run so fast, surely you can be useful, right?]

[Don’t morally pressure the sheep at the front!]

The Rock Sheep leaped down the rock wall agilely, disdainfully nudging Lu Jinyu with its horns.

Once confirming the human was still alive, it graciously bent down, signaling the cameraman to move Lu Jinyu onto its back.

Under the drone’s aerial shot:

On the vast snowfield, a stout Rock Sheep carried the unconscious Lu Jinyu, walking steadily towards the rendezvous point.

Lu Jinyu’s red bangs fluttered in the wind on the sheep’s back, looking like a half-dead scarf.

The Rock Sheep had an expression of speechlessness, looking quite miserable.

[Poor working sheep thought it could earn easy money, not expecting human’s money to be so hard to make.]

[Sheep: I should have stayed on the cliff]

[Lu Jinyu’s fans, quickly send money to the rescue station!]

The show’s medical personnel hurriedly moved Lu Jinyu from the Rock Sheep’s back onto a stretcher, carrying him into the tent for treatment.

Xu Ying had yet to ask the Rock Sheep its impression score of Lu Jinyu.

But the leading sheep began bleating furiously in protest: [Zero zero zero!]

Netizens: [Although I don’t understand animal language, I already know what the Rock Sheep wants to say.]

Xu Ying laughed helplessly, patting the leading sheep’s head, “Thanks for your hard work, Captain!”

“Could you please climb the rock wall again and demonstrate your skills?”

As soon as Xu Ying spoke, the leading sheep gracefully led its followers up the steep rock wall near the rendezvous point.

“Fellow viewers, look at this ’cool guy’ standing on the edge of the cliff in the camera!”

Xu Ying spoke in a breezy tone, “This is no ordinary goat, but our plateau’s extreme sports expert – the Rock Sheep!”

In the picture, a gray-white male Rock Sheep stood proudly on the steep rock wall, sunlight edging its silver-gray fur with gold. Its backward-curving horns gleamed with a glaze-like luster under the sun, appearing exceptionally imposing.

“Their habitats are incredible.” Xu Ying pointed at the endless Snow Mountain in the distance, “From altitudes of 2500 meters to 5500 meters, steep mountainous and bare rocky areas are their playgrounds. These guys can be called the champions of cliff parkour, vertically jumping two meters high and effortlessly crossing distances of over three meters.”

As if to prove her point, the Rock Sheep in the camera suddenly leaped, easily jumping onto a higher rock.

Its hooves clung tightly to the bald rock surface, as if equipped with mini suction cups.

“See their hooves?”

Xu Ying explained with a smile, “It’s an evolved natural climbing gear. The edges of their hooves are hard and sharp, with a soft and flexible center, like climbing shoes with built-in anti-slip nails. That’s why they can ’disco’ on almost vertical cliffs — though this metaphor might rouse Newton from the grave in protest.”

The bullet screen swiftly filled: [Newton: I can’t hold the lid of my coffin anymore]

[Rock Sheep: Gravity? What’s that?]

“What’s interesting is,” Xu Ying continued, “Rock Sheep herds sunbathe while maintaining a graceful social distance of about one meter, looking especially boundary-conscious.”

She blinked slyly, “But the truth is—it’s a carefully calculated escape distance, ensuring they won’t block each other in case of danger.”

Just then, Ye Jie leaned over, staring at a few small Rock Lambs leaping in the rock crevices in astonishment: “Oh my! That little one looks even smaller than my cat, yet it jumps so high!”

“That’s a newborn lamb.” Xu Ying’s voice softened, “Rock Sheep babies can stand within hours of birth and climb slopes with their moms in a week. They’re the ’child prodigy’ of the animal kingdom.”

“That’s like the king of juveniles!” Ye Jie exclaimed.

Xu Ying’s expression suddenly turned serious: “But it’s cruel; due to predator attacks and accidental falls, Rock Sheep lambs have a mortality rate of 40%. Living on cliffs leaves no room for mistakes.”

Ye Jie’s smile froze: “Nature’s rules are truly terrifying… If you can’t keep up, you die.”

[Rock Sheep: Never failed in this life; if I fail…I’ll be careful in the next]

[This job stress is higher than working 996]

[They look like me rushing to catch the subway on Monday morning]

The leading Rock Sheep suddenly raised its head and let out a long call resonating through the canyon.

Proudly lifting its neck, it seemed to announce to everyone: on these cliffs belonging to the brave, they are the true masters.

At that moment, the show’s medical personnel emerged from the tent, removing the stethoscope, shaking their head: “The preliminary diagnosis is altitude reaction causing cold-induced blood stasis, coupled with his inherently weak spleen and stomach, making his blood circulation severely blocked.”

Xu Ying furrowed her brow: “That serious?”

“He kept complaining of stomach pain and showed slight convulsive symptoms.” The medical personnel whispered, “In this situation, it’s advisable to stop filming…”

“Let’s go see him!” Ye Jie spoke sympathetically, “Though he is quite annoying, he looks rather pitiful.”

She suddenly realized she said her thoughts aloud on camera, awkwardly sticking out her tongue.

Su Zhining rolled her eyes, spinning her diamond-encrusted nails through her hair: “Some people look impressive riding snowmobiles from the start, but they’re really just small fry.”

Inside the tent.

Lu Jinyu on the folding bed looked like a dehydrated fish, his esports jacket crumpled over him, red hair soaked with cold sweat clinging to his forehead.

“Uh…so painful…”

He moaned weakly, “I must be out of my mind to come to this damn place…”

Suddenly, he glimpsed the camera capturing him, instantly shutting his mouth, forcefully swallowing the rest of his complaint, squeezing out a few words through clenched teeth: “…the scenery is nice.”

[Die for appearance, live for suffering.jpg]

[Recommend submitting for a Spring Festival Gala face-changing skit.]

Xu Ying approached, lifting Lu Jinyu’s eyelids to check, then taking his pulse, suddenly her eyes lit up: “I know of a kind of Chinese medicine! It specializes in treating cold-induced blood stasis!”

“However, this herb is very precious, and quite hard to find, Lu Jinyu’s situation, the doctor said rest would also heal him, better forget it.”

She turned to walk out, yet an icy hand tugged at the corner of her coat.

“Little Xu Station Chief…” Lu Jinyu was as weak as an old lady about to breathe her last, but his fingers gripping her jacket tightly, “you can’t watch someone die without saving…”

He suddenly lowered his voice: “I’ll donate two hundred thousand to your rescue station, save me! I want to recover quickly!”

If he left the recording halfway due to weakness, netizens would keep mocking him as the “male with frail kidneys” for years!

He didn’t want to be labeled like that!

Xu Ying paused.
