Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 461 Rat
hum hum hum!

When the mouse head saw the strangers around him, he shrank back into the carton in fear, only to hear a noise coming from the carton.

"Is this the gift you mentioned?" Li Hongbing looked at Captain Xu in surprise.

"That's right, there are many animals in the unlicensed breeding base in Duan. Most of them were sent to surrounding zoos. The remaining little ones were left to you because the zoo wanted them but I didn't agree."

Captain Xu looked like I was thinking more about you.

"How many are there? The weather in the forest is very cold, can they survive the winter?" Li Hongbing frowned.

Even if you send some native forest animals, you can bring in foreign animals. They seem to live in the desert of South Africa, and they will freeze to death when it snows in winter.

"There are ten of them, big and small. I can rest assured that I can take care of them for you!" Captain Xu now has blind trust in Li Hongbing. It seems that no matter what kind of animal is placed with him, it can basically survive and live very well.

"I thank you for your trust."

Li Hongbing rolled his eyes, walked to the carton and squatted down. In order not to scare these little guys, he concentrated his original power in the palm of his hand and slowly reached into the carton.

Haw!

After a panicked cry came from the carton, Li Hongbing felt a furry head approaching his palm and quickly sent out his original power.

next moment!
Little heads poked out of the cartons, their black eyes that looked like they were wearing sunglasses shining brightly at Li Hongbing.

"Come out!" Li Hongbing whispered.

hum!

These little guys jumped out of the carton quickly, circled around Li Hongbing, and screamed with joy.

They are khaki all over, with round heads, long mouths, large eye sockets protruding from their skulls, a pair of exquisite eyes with dark circles, as if they are wearing sunglasses, crescent-shaped ears close to their heads, and a slender tail trailing behind them. .

A bunch of meerkat Timon!
The meerkat in another cardboard box heard the cry of its companion outside and was eager to come out. A slightly larger meerkat squatted next to Li Hongbing and ran to the cardboard box and made a chirping sound.

The remaining meerkats in the cardboard box cautiously poked their heads out. Seeing that their companions on the rice field were safe, they quickly climbed out of the box.

This group of meerkats did not accept the power of the original source, and were still a little timid towards Li Hongbing. They hid not far away and did not dare to approach. They propped up their bodies with their tails and watched, making whining sounds from their mouths.

Meerkat is a highly social animal that mainly lives in groups. The group constructs a maternal society, and its internal rulers are the male leader and the female leader. The male leader is selected by the female leader.

The slightly larger meerkat, the female leader of this group, ran up to the group of meerkats and let out a whine. The group of meerkats cautiously approached Li Hongbing.

Similarly, Li Hongbing put his original power into these little meerkats. The meerkats were already highly intelligent animals. With the addition of their original power, their eyes shone with wisdom.

Suddenly, everyone gathered around Li Hongbing, chirping and shouting.

He yelled that he was hungry and wanted something to eat.

"What do you think? I'll tell you that Dr. Li has a way of making out with us as soon as we meet. He'll be too frightened to come out when he sees us." Captain Xu smiled and turned to brag to the two young forest policemen next to him.

Li Hongbing curled his lips ungratefully, got up and walked towards the chicken shed. When the little meerkats saw him getting up, they quickly followed him, never leaving.

He opened the chicken coop, took out the eggs from inside, and said to the meerkats at his feet, "Line them up, one by one."

Tweet!

As if they had rehearsed in advance, the little meerkats lined up neatly, straightened up, took the eggs and wiped off the chicken feces with their paws, then held the eggs and eagerly bit open the shells.

"Hey, as long as any animal comes to my brother's house, it will turn into a spirit." Captain Xu, who was standing nearby and watching the fun, marveled.

After feeding the little meerkat, Li Hongbing stood up, clapped his hands, and asked angrily, "Tell me, how are they doing?"

Captain Xu sighed and looked at the group of meerkats surrounding Li Hongbing's feet.

"Didn't I just mention that these meerkats were found from an unlicensed breeding base. Originally, this base was used to breed pet dogs. Later, nearby residents reported that they were illegally discharging sewage. The police came to check on these meerkats and found that they did not have a breeding certificate. It was transferred to me."

"We followed the lead and found the upstream supplier, and found that the supplier had performed sterilization surgeries on these meerkats in advance."

"It was originally sent to the zoo for rescue. The zoo was worried that the meerkats who had undergone sterilization surgery would change their personalities and affect the meerkats they originally raised, so they returned them and recommended that they be destroyed humanely."

Gee!

The slap in the face came so quickly. Who said the zoo wanted it or not? It was left to me.

Just say there is a problem, otherwise they will be kind enough to send it here.

Had birth control surgery!

Li Hongbing's eyes flashed with pity.

The power of the source can help them repair their injuries and soothe their frightened emotions, but it cannot grow lost organs out of thin air.

Then he squatted down and stretched out his palm, and the meerkats came over and surrounded the palm intimately.

Yeah!

Shan Xing walked up to a few people holding a tea tray, and saw more than a dozen big mice surrounding Brother Hongbing, and exclaimed in fright.

"What a big rat!"

The meerkats were also startled, and they hid behind Li Hongbing and stuck out their little heads.

"Xing'er, don't be afraid, this is not a mouse, it's a meerkat." Li Hongbing smiled and waved his hand, and then introduced to the meerkat next to him, "This is Mother Xing, a very nice person, and sister Anna. From now on, all of us will live together."

The little meerkats nodded in understanding, made clear chirps, and tiptoed in front of the mountain apricots, sniffing the scent of the mountain apricots with their pointed noses.

After Shan Xing was slightly panicked, he became accustomed to strange animals appearing in his home for no apparent reason, and instead asked curiously.

"Brother, what do they eat? I'll prepare it."

To be honest, Li Hongbing was able to recognize the meerkat because he had watched The Lion King with Anna and was deeply impressed by the funny meerkat Timon and wild boar Peng Peng, but he was not sure what the meerkats ate.

He took out his phone and checked it, and read.

"Meerkats feed primarily on insects, but they will also eat lizards, snakes, scorpions, spiders, plants, bird eggs, eggs, small mammals, and occasionally small birds."

Shan Xing frowned, "There are bugs in the vegetable garden, but lizards, snakes, scorpions, spiders, and birds are hard to find."

Captain Xu saw this and said with a smile, "Don't bother. The breeder said that you only need to feed some cat and dog food. You can also feed chicken, eggs, sweet potatoes, carrots, and fruits."

"That's good!" Shan Xing hurriedly turned around and ran to the kitchen. After a while, he came out with a basin. There were shredded pork, sweet potato chunks, carrot chunks, and broken boiled eggs in the basin.

The group of meerkats who smelled the aroma of food were already hungry. They just ate eggs one by one, and now they are even hungrier!
"Come and eat!" Yamaxing put the basin on the ground.

The meerkat group looked up at Li Hongbing, as if asking for his consent.

"Go ahead and don't forget to thank Mom Xing!"

Whoa!

The group of meerkats jumped up and down to the mountain apricot, rubbed their heads against the mountain apricot, then rushed to the food bowl, grabbed the food with their curved paws and ate it.

"Eat slowly, there's still not enough." Shan Xing advised softly, taking the warm water on a plate and placing it next to the food bowl.Seeing that the mission was completed, Captain Xu took a few photos according to the procedure.

"Brother, I'll leave the meerkat to you. Let's go first."

Li Hongbing hurriedly said, "What time is it? Stay and have a bite to eat before leaving."

"No, this winter, there are more people going into the mountains to hunt. Recently, many people are selling wild animals in the market. They catch them every day and check them every day." Captain Xu waved his hands and sighed, and suddenly remembered something, "Your village also has a market. , help spread the word and don’t hunt wild animals.”

Every year when winter comes in the forest area, there is less edible food in the mountains, and wild animals will come closer to human settlements in search of food. Often at this time, some people will become greedy and have evil thoughts.

They laid traps, dug traps, put out pesticides, placed animal traps, and I heard there were people pulling up power grids.

"Don't worry!" Li Hongbing said with a serious face, "As long as anyone dares to sell wild animals at the Caogou Village Market, I will knock down the stall for them."

"I feel relieved because of your words. I might have to trouble you more recently. By the way, why don't you, the head of the rescue station, apply for the relief fund? I can't let you pay for it yourself."

Li Hongbing rolled his eyes in disgust.

"It's just that little money, save it, or you can use it to exchange for a car. The broken bread will make a clanking noise when driving. What if something happens when you run around in the mountains on a snowy day?"

This sentence directly touched Captain Xu's sadness. There were only four vehicles in the team, and they were all overage vans. In the past two years, they had patrolled the mountains on snowy days. If they hadn't reacted quickly at that time, they almost fell off the cliff.

"I also think that the forest police have insufficient funds and there is nothing we can do! How about you, the big boss, provide some support?"

support!

Li Hongbing thought for a while, "No problem, just wait!"

After saying that, he took out his mobile phone and called Li Ming under Captain Xu's confused eyes.

"Li Ming, please contact Captain An Xu, the forest worker in the forest area, and donate five cars. They should be better and can run in the snow in winter. Captain Xu's number will be sent to you later."

After hanging up the phone, Li Hongbing looked at Captain Xu, "If you had told me earlier, I would have changed your car a long time ago, so you don't have to drive this broken bread."

Five cars.

All it takes is one phone call.

Captain Xu knew that Li Hongbing was rich, but he had five cars at once. The richest man in the forest well deserved his title.

It is impossible to say that no one donated cars, but those people all had their own purposes, and the cars were hot to hand.

Li Hongbing is different. He is the director of a wildlife rescue station under the Forestry Worker's Bureau. He is very enthusiastic about animal rescue, and the cooperation between the two parties is also very pleasant.

He donated the car for free.

"Brother Li, I heard that you got three Delicas. Lend me one to drive." Captain Xu tested with a smile.

I heard that they were just polite words, but the two Delicas were actually parked in the parking lot at the entrance of the village. When they first entered the village, they even got out of the car to admire them for a while.

Delica itself has strong four-wheel drive off-road capabilities. The Bureau also had one at that time. It screamed when climbing mountains and wading in water. Unfortunately, it was forced to be scrapped when its life span expired.

The two Delicas I saw in the parking lot today seemed like the owners had added a lot of modifications to the original ones in order to further improve their off-road performance.

These include 3-inch chassis heightening, larger off-road tires, waders, front winches and other typical off-road modifications. In terms of appearance, a luggage rack, rear ladder, searchlights, etc., and a metal front guard are added.

Driving this car, you won’t be afraid even if it’s snowing and you’re running on mountain roads.

"Why, I've fallen in love with Delica." Li Hongbing looked at the shameless Captain Xu with a smile, and changed the subject, "Don't take advantage of it. I managed to get three of them, and I can't even bear to drive them."

Ugh!
It's a pity that such a good car is left in Li Hongbing's hands. It's a waste of money.

However, it is still rewarding.

Ten meerkats were exchanged for five cars.

Anyway, Brother Li didn’t say what car to buy. He bought 5 212s and modified them from head to toe.

If you are a big dog owner, you will get nothing if you don’t eat.

Thinking of this, the unhappiness of being rejected by Li Hongbing disappeared. Instead, the more Captain Xu looked at him, the more he liked him.

It's like watching the God of Wealth.

Li Hongbing had goosebumps on his skin under the scorching gaze and hurriedly saw off the guests.

"Then don't disturb Captain Xu's work. Let's have a drink next time we have a chance."

"One glass is not enough, I will definitely come when I have time!" Captain Xu knows that a good meal is not afraid of being late, and a good wine is not afraid of spicy food. He cannot push Li Hongbing into a hurry. He will have plenty of time to deal with it in the future.

Ah!
At best, send him some more animals.

Then he said goodbye to Shan Xing.

As the host, Li Hongbing naturally had to see off the guests in person. As soon as he took a few steps, he was spotted by a group of meerkats eating food. The little guys dropped their rice bowls and followed Li Hongbing one by one.

"Brother, it looks like they've stuck to you!" Captain Xu said with an envious smile.

"It's not bad!" Li Hongbing was quite satisfied with the meerkats following them every step of the way. Ever since the wolf-dogs ran wild, they were alone every time they went out. It was quite interesting to have them following him.

Send Captain Xu away.

The meerkat still followed Li Hongbing step by step. Occasionally he would be attracted by the scenery of the old house and would return in time.

Li Hongbing pointed to the half-eaten food bowl and said, "Keep eating!"

The meerkat group nodded their little heads and ran to the food bowl to continue eating. However, after taking two bites, they would turn around to see if Li Hongbing was there, for fear that he would suddenly run away.

"Brother, give them a bath. There are a lot of dirty things on them." Shan Xing walked out of the bathroom with a basin of hot water.

"Xing'er is still thoughtful. Without you at home, I will be a loser!" Li Hongbing took the towel and lightly sent out a rainbow fart, and Xing'er's happy eyes turned into crescent moons.

Li Hongbing called the meerkats to him, pointed to the wooden basin and said, "Come here, Mother Xing will give you a bath. I want to tell you the rules of the house."

hum hum hum!

The little meerkats jumped to the wooden basin, propped up their bodies with their tails, and looked at the mountain apricots with a pair of sunglasses in their eyes.

"They are so smart!" Yamaxing smiled and picked up the largest meerkat and put it into the warm water.

After soaking in the water, the meerkat didn't scream or make any fuss, letting the mountain apricot apply the shampoo on its body.

After washing them, Li Hongbing took the meerkats, dried their fur with a towel, and then pointed around the yard of the old house with his finger.

"This is your future home. You are not allowed to bully other animals in the house, you are not allowed to poop in the room, you are not allowed to bite things in the house, and you are not allowed to bring food into the room. You must be hygienic and clean. Listen carefully!"

Hey, hey! !
The little meerkats who stood up straight and put away their ears nodded.
