Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Son-in-Law Riding the Dragon

“The cubs don’t like interacting with strangers, so they hide.”

Xu Ying pointed to the fox cubs hiding in the pet carrier. Luckily, the Little Sand Cat and the Black Jungle Cat went outside for rehabilitation training; otherwise, they would have been tormented by Liu Wenxuan.

“You’re talking as if you’re the only one animals like.”

Liu Wenxuan had watched Xu Ying’s videos and knew these fox cubs actually had personalities as gentle and clingy as dogs. They seemed lively and not that afraid of people in the videos, so she squatted down in front of the pet carrier.

With the current popularity of ear foxes, posting an interaction video would definitely get good engagement.

Just a moment ago, she was sharp-tongued, but now her face softened into a gentle and friendly demeanor. “Hello, little ones. I’m Liu Wenxuan, also an animal rescuer. Care to say hi to the camera?”

The fox cubs in the pet carrier turned their rear ends towards Liu Wenxuan upon approaching strangers.

Five fluffy little butts and furry tails faced the camera, making this image both comical and cute. Liu Wenxuan thought the five fox cubs were just trying to act cute.

But next moment, all she heard was a “poof,” as one fox cub directly farted at her.

At that instant, Liu Wenxuan felt her sense of smell was hit by a nuclear explosion. Her eyes rolled back, almost fainting from the stench. She quickly covered her nose and ran outside.

She needed fresh air!

Having witnessed the whole scene, Ning Zexi laughed heartily, “If you post this video, it will definitely go more viral than Xu Ying’s! The whole internet will have a laugh!”

Liu Wenxuan stood outside, breathing deeply, her face flushed, not knowing if it was from anger or the stench.

The fox cubs were small, so Liu Wenxuan, being the closest, was the only one attacked.

The other two rescuers were still gloating.

They stood in the room, idly watching Xu Ying and Ning Zexi unloading goods, commenting on the items they bought. Xu Ying didn’t expect the trio to help, but these two wooden blocks were in the way.

At this time, Brother Bear came into the rescue station carrying boxes from Ning Zexi’s car.

He had great strength, making moving things easy for him. Although he was afraid of strangers, seeing the two station leaders struggling made him muster the courage to help, overcoming his introversion.

But two rescuers at the door blocked his way. Brother Bear, shy in social situations, gently tapped them on the shoulders with a bear paw, very politely.

The two rescuers turned around, finding Brother Bear grinning at them with a toothy smile, polite and friendly.

“Ahhh!”

The two were frightened, screaming and scrambling out of the rescue station.

Xu Ying gave Brother Bear a thumbs-up. Brother Bear scratched his head, wondering if these humans were just as shy and introverted as him, afraid of interacting with strangers (animals).

With Brother Bear’s help, Ning Zexi’s purchases were quickly organized.

Carrying the medical and toolbox, Xu Ying bid farewell to the small animals at the station: “Goodbye, little ones. Sister is going to work now~ Remember to listen to Brother Bear.”

[Sister wishes you a successful mission. Come back soon~]

[The little ones will miss you!]

The fox cubs enthusiastically wagged their tails to bid goodbye to Xu Ying.

Thinking about the vast patrol area for the day, Xu Ying decided to bring along King Cobra to see if there’s a chance to find it a mate.

King Cobra nestled in Xu Ying’s crossbody canvas bag, excitedly anticipating their outing.

This time, the four animal rescuers all traveled by off-road vehicle, because this day’s mission involved dangerous vultures, and the suspect’s dumping sites for vultures were several and scattered, making off-road vehicles more convenient.

Along the way, Ning Zexi and Xu Ying chatted incessantly.

“Let me tell you, I saw a type of high-temperature-resistant chicken at the county market, called Niyaya Chicken. It’s a local specialty of Xizhou Province, low-fat, low-cholesterol. I tried the meat at a restaurant; it’s very tasty, chewy yet tender and delicate.”

Xu Ying’s eyes lit up, “Are their eggs tasty?”

“I haven’t tried them, but they should be good too!”

Ning Zexi also longed for the idyllic lifestyle Xu Ying had planned with gardening and raising chickens, but he was terrible at raising anything, so he could only depend on Comrade Xiao Xu’s efforts.

“I found out this chicken is an excellent dual-purpose breed for meat and eggs. Each one can lay up to 150 eggs a year, with each egg weighing about 45 grams.”

Forty-five grams is about half the size of an adult man’s fist.

Moreover, Niyaya Chicken eggs have more yolk compared to regular eggs. It’s known that yolk is very beneficial for the development of animal offspring!

“Once the rescue station conditions improve, you can raise chickens too.”

Xu Ying clapped her hands, “Great, great, first garden, then chickens!”

She can also occasionally encounter new little animals.

Life is becoming more and more hopeful~

Other than them, the others on the car couldn’t resist making sarcastic comments.

“Looking for trouble, raising chickens here is just feeding these wild animals, right?”

“When the chickens you raise get snatched away by wild animals, don’t cry when you lose everything.”

The two rescuers still overshadowed by being bear-tapped became increasingly unfriendly towards Xu Ying.

Xu Ying wasn’t too bothered, “It’s okay, I’ll just have a chat with them and reason things out.”

“Reason things out?”

Liu Wenxuan directly laughed out loud, like living in a fairy tale.

Deputy Director Kuang Ming also commented, “You expect to convert a desert rescue station into a leisure farm or ecological zoo, that’s unrealistic.”

Xu Ying remained unconcerned, cheerful and actively planning divisions of labor with Ning Zexi.

Practice brings true knowledge.

These people hadn’t practiced but were already stepping on dreams with reasonable-sounding arguments.

Xu Ying didn’t take it to heart at all, treating it as nonsense.

From childhood to adulthood, she encountered this situation quite often.

Listening to these people and then giving up, that’s it.

The classic slogan in the desert management area said, there’s no barren desert, only barren lives.

At this moment, Kuang Ming received a phone call.

“Okay, yes, yes.”

“Her name is Qiao Yuxi, right? I’ll keep an eye out.”

Hanging up, everyone’s eyes focused on Kuang Ming.

Because Qiao Yuxi was the heiress missing from Lin Mo County.

Excited, Ning Zexi asked, “Director Kuang, was the girl found?”

“No, this missing person case has a new development. The police confirmed Qiao Yuxi entered the desert management area.”

Kuang Ming showed them Qiao Yuxi’s photo. “Her best friend provided clues, saying Qiao Yuxi mentioned wanting to see the desert starry sky.”

“You all should keep an eye out during patrol. Whether the girl is dead or alive needs an answer, or given her family’s background, they won’t rest.”

Desert starry skies? Truly stunning.

Xu Ying wondered, could a pampered princess truly dare to venture alone into the desert area?

The male animal rescuer Liu Kai from station 014 looked at the photo and sighed, “Wow, this girl is really beautiful, and I heard her parents were in real estate and died in a plane crash, leaving a huge inheritance.”

Filled with ambition, he exclaimed, “If I find this young lady while patrolling and she’s not dead, I save her heroically, I’ll surely become the ideal son-in-law!”
