Chapter 309 The Disappearing Elephant
Grandpa and grandma come back here every year as volunteers for a period of time. They can't help with physical work, but their bodyguards can help, and they will bring some supplies every time they come. They have a good relationship with the staff at the base. , so tourists need to make an appointment for the project, they will communicate with the staff quickly.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xiao and his group came to a field with his grandparents and some base staff. The purpose of this trip was to prepare dinner for the little elephant tonight.

The feeding elephants are semi-wild, because the injured or orphans lived in the park for a period of time and then returned to the wild. These elephants are still underage and need human care and protection, so the staff will cut down some branches and leaves and throw them in the wild. On the ground, so that these baby elephants can eat.

Li Xiao took a sickle-shaped tool and cut off branches under the guidance of the staff. These trees were all about the height of a person, so there was no need to climb them.Grandpa was also active beside him, he didn't really just look at it and don't do it like he said before.

"Grandpa, just chat with grandma, there are so many of us."

Grandpa raised his eyebrows, and said disdainfully: "If you move so slowly, you still have time to talk nonsense."

"."

Come on, Li Xiao found out that his grandfather seemed to be cutting branches more quickly than himself, so he stopped trying to persuade him.

The two bodyguards looked at each other and smiled wryly. The boss is usually in command, but now that his grandson is here, he has done it himself.

The sickle is quite sharp, and the branches needed are relatively small, so it doesn't take much effort, but it doesn't take a lot of effort to support it.

According to the staff, there are nine baby elephants to feed, and the three big pickup trucks they drove had to be compacted and filled up. Three staff members, two bodyguards, Li Xiao and his grandfather worked together, a total of 7 people worked. It took nearly half an hour to compact and fill the back box of a car. Although it didn't take much effort, I was still a little tired after bending over and swinging a knife to get up. In addition, Li Xiao hadn't exercised for a long time. My waist felt a little sore, I couldn't help but stop and twist my body to relieve it.

Seeing this, Grandpa shook his head and sneered, "Young people nowadays just can't work. Ouch."

Li Xiao hurriedly threw down the sickle and went to support him, a little bit dumbfounded and said, "Why are you competing with your grandson?"

"I'm just dizzy for a while, who wants you to help me, get out of the way, there are still two cars."

"Li Xianyong, come back quickly if you don't mind. Hurry up and chat with me."

Grandma yelled, her tone was very severe at first, maybe remembering that there were so many people at the scene, she still saved some face for Grandpa.

"Women are trouble!"

Grandpa said so, and handed the sickle to the staff next to him, "You cut it first, and I'll go chat with your grandma."

"go Go."

Li Xiao waved his hands helplessly, and found that his father and grandfather were both very powerful, capable of being brave and retreating.

Grandpa came back to rest with grandma, Fang Bianmian and Ah Qing also went to help, everyone was working, it was awkward for them to watch all the time.

Fang Bianmian took a towel and wiped Li Xiao's sweat first, and then cut off branches under Li Xiao's instruction. A Qing and the two bodyguards were speechless for a while, no matter how they cut a branch, there was a strong smell. What about the strong sour smell?

At five o'clock, the car was full of branches, and a few people got on the tourist bus and followed the pickup to the place where the baby elephants were fed.

There is no trace of the baby elephant yet, the staff explained that the baby elephant has not come back to eat yet, they just need to separate the branches and wait for the baby elephant to come and eat by itself.

After putting away the branches, everyone stepped back to watch from a distance, because the base staff said that human beings should not affect the life of the baby elephant too much.

After a while, some small elephants appeared one after another and started to eat before they put them on the pile of branches.

Fang Bianmian couldn't help saying, "Wow, these little elephants are so cute."

"That's right, the ears are flapping." Ah Qing was also very happy to watch. At this time, everyone felt that their labor was very valuable.

"No, one is missing."

The only female staff member among them was suddenly very anxious, and confirmed to the two beside her: "Have you seen the hooka, it seems that it hasn't come back."

The two staff members quickly confirmed that after discovering the bad news, hooka did not come back.

A staff member quickly comforted: "Maybe it was just playing outside for a while, you don't have to be so anxious, I will immediately contact the base and send someone out to look for it."

"Yes, yes, I will go back immediately and take someone out to find him."

Speaking of which, the lady hurriedly drove the pickup truck and left.

The rest of the staff explained to Li Xiao and the others: "hooka is a baby elephant that Ellis took care of at the beginning. Its mother was killed by poachers. Hooka is very timid but very dependent and close to her. Ellis Treat hooka as your own child."

Grandpa said: "Most of the baby elephants here have their mothers killed by poachers, and they were taken care of by the staff when they were young. Although they were released into the wild, the staff refused to meet them, but they still regarded them as animals. It's my own child."

"You are great."

Ah Qing was touched. She just felt the appearance of the baby elephants. The three staff members all had a kind of joy from the bottom of their hearts, but they still suppressed their emotions for fear of affecting their lives.

"We're just doing what we should do. I hope Ellis and the others can get hooka back."

The faces of the two staff members were a little heavy. These baby elephants are led by an adult female elephant, and they usually live very closely together, so it is not easy to get lost.

After waiting for the elephant herd to finish eating, everyone returned to the camp with a heavy heart. After eating casually, Li Xiao asked his grandparents to go back to rest first, and they followed the two staff members to wait for the return of the search team.

It was already dark, and the search team came back after nine o'clock, but seeing that everyone's faces were not at all relaxed, they knew that hooka hadn't been found yet.

"Don't worry, hooka will be found tomorrow."

The search team members comforted each other and left.

"Don't worry, Ellis, hooka will be fine."

The two staff also stepped forward to comfort her, and Alice burst into tears. After working here for so many years, she knew what it meant.

Fang Bianmian and A Qing also went up to explain. Li Xiao didn't go there, and sat in a daze. This journey was easy and pleasant, but at this moment it was a bit heavy. It was said on the Internet that there were human beings here. Protection and care is a paradise for animals, but the meaning of the word paradise cannot be achieved only by protection and care.
