I raise furry animals and fly them to my motherland.

Chapter 21 50 Walking

The black serval's tone was as cold as ice: "If anyone dares to run now, I will bite their neck off."
[You know my speed.]
The oppressive feeling brought by natural enemies made the gerbils stand still immediately, and the expressions on their faces froze.

Gerbils are timid and easily frightened, have convulsions, or suffer heart attacks. When they encounter creatures that attack them, their legs quickly become weak.

He is the kind of guy who is cowardly and likes to do bad things secretly.

Black Serval Sheriff glanced over and the little gerbils trembled.

The black serval directly lifted the gerbil boss's tail:
[You gerbil family are repeat offenders. I'm leaving now. You'll dare to do it again next time. It just so happens that I haven't had dinner yet.]
The gerbil boss hung in the air, its short legs kicking wildly. It clasped its paws to its chest and bowed timidly: "My lord, spare us! We were only joking with this little fennec fox. We meant no harm."
The other gerbils were so frightened that their legs went limp and they couldn't run away at all.

[Please forgive us, we know we are wrong!]
Life isn't easy. We just moved to a new house, and our warehouse is empty. So, I'd like to ask the little fox to help us find some food and come visit us.
[How could Shushu have any bad intentions?]
Xu Ying couldn't help laughing when he heard the excuses of these little gerbils. Gerbils are truly highly intelligent creatures. They have a lot of excuses and even know how to play the victim.

When Xu Ying heard these gerbils say they had just moved to a new home, his eyes rolled.

Unlike city rats, gerbils are very clean, often washing their faces with their paws for half an hour. Their homes are also very particular, with each burrow having an entrance (gate), a tunnel (corridor), a storage area, a toilet, a blind hole (emergency passage), and a nest (bedroom).
Each cave system generally has 5-6 entrances, and some have more than 30, forming a cave cluster. It can be said that people live in underground villas.

Xu Ying took out half a compressed biscuit from his pocket, crushed it, and sprinkled a small portion in front of the gerbils: "Rats, I have something I want to ask you."

The compressed biscuits are sesame flavored and very fragrant.

The gerbils living in the desert had never smelled such delicious food before and they swallowed their saliva frantically.

Xu Ying patiently coaxed: "If you can help me, I can help fill the warehouse in your new home."

Gerbils love to stockpile food. One burrow can store about 30 kilograms of food, which is enough for an adult to eat for about a month, and this food can last them two or three months.

Even though it’s only two or three months, the lifespan of a gerbil is only two or three years.

Therefore, storing food in the warehouse is a big project for the gerbils. Now that Xu Ying has said he wants to help, it is like pie in the sky for the hamsters!

The old gerbil's eyes widened: [Really?]
Xu Ying patted his chest and said, "Really? How could I, the director of the aid station, lie to you? If you have any problems, just come to the 032 aid station and find me."

Xu Ying told the gerbils the route to 032.

"But the premise is that you can help us find clues."

The gerbil that was close to the compressed biscuit crumbs stretched out its little paws and wanted to touch a piece. The black serval stretched out its tail and touched its back. It immediately froze like a wooden chicken and dared not move.

[Stationmaster Xu hasn't finished speaking yet.]
The black serval signaled the gerbil to listen to Xu Ying.

[Sorry, sorry, I'm so greedy.]
The little gerbil immediately stood at attention.

The gerbil leader was put down by the black serval, and his attitude towards Xu Ying, the golden thigh, became servile: [Leader, what are your instructions?]
"Mobilize your family members, relatives and neighbors to help us find the suspicious individuals and sand cats."

"These two suspicious individuals, one tall and one short, the shorter one walks with his feet turned inwards."

When Xu Ying was passing information to the little gerbils, Fox Xiaowu was explaining it with actions. He even made an inward-facing eight-point gesture to help the gerbils understand. It was funny and cute.

"This is the pattern of their shoe prints. Look carefully."

Xu Ying showed the photos on her mobile phone to the gerbils. There was no printer at the rescue station, so she hand-drew a pattern on the sole of a shoe and gave it to the gerbil leader.

"Also, the mother of a litter of fennec foxes near me is missing. If you can help find a clue, I'll also cover your warehouse's stock for the next quarter!"

Upon hearing this, the gerbil boss's eyes lit up. He dragged a piece of paper that was larger than his body and waved his fist: "Brothers and sisters! For our food, take action!"
[Go!]
[Hold a family meeting immediately! Mobilize all the forces we can!]
Xu Ying listened to the old gerbil shouting slogans. The scene was quite exciting.

The six gerbils all agreed, then they moved the compressed biscuit crumbs back to the nest to prepare for the meeting.

Fearing that the cunning mice would deny their debt, Xu Ying and his team followed them to be on the safe side, and found out the location of the gerbil burrow and several exits.

Gerbils' burrows are divided into temporary emergency burrows and living burrows. The complexly structured burrow they have found is the living burrow. Site selection and excavation are both major projects and will not be easily abandoned.

After sending out "missing cat notices" for most of the day, it was already late at night and the temperature in the desert was getting colder.

After confirming that the cooperation was foolproof, Xu Ying recalled the other four fennec fox cubs and returned to the rescue station with the black serval.

Before leaving, Xu Ying sent a message to Ning Zexi to tell him that he had returned to the 032 rescue station.

She just received Ning Zexi's reply. After he learned that the fennec fox cubs were fed shortly after he left, he was not in such a hurry to come back. He stocked up some supplies in the county and asked Xu Ying if there was anything she needed to bring back, after all, it was not easy to go into the city.

Xu Ying made a long shopping list and gave most of the proceeds from yesterday's live broadcast to Ning Zexi in a big red envelope. Ning Zexi made an indispensable contribution to the popularity of himself and the Fox cubs.

After doing all this, Xu Ying heated the water with an electric heating rod, washed up, and got into the sleeping bag.

I have to say that tonight’s accommodation conditions are far inferior to the luxurious “Bear Bear Bed” I slept in last night.

The remaining iron bed was hard. The sleeping bag was still warm, but my exposed cheeks and half of my neck were cold.

Xu Ying curled up, trying to curl herself into a ball: "Wow, the night in the desert is really a bit cold!"

[Sister! Are you cold?]
When the little foxes heard Xu Ying's sigh, they rubbed their paws on the wet towel on the table, and then jumped onto the sleeping bag one after another, nestling beside Xu Ying's cheeks and neck, and covering the part of Xu Ying's body exposed outside the sleeping bag with their furry tails.

This is real fox fur! So warm!

Xu Ying no longer felt cold. Smelling the milky scent of the little fox cubs, he fell asleep peacefully with a happy smile on his face.

Have a good night's sleep.

The next morning, it was still dark.

Xu Ying was awakened by the squeaking sounds coming from the room.

Xu Ying opened her eyes in a daze, and the little gerbils "all over the mountains and plains" in the room said good morning to her. Xu Ying almost fainted!

The eldest gerbil jumped onto the head of Xu Ying's bed and shouted in a loud voice like an alarm clock:

[Young webmaster, wake up!]
[We have found the whereabouts of the Sand Cat. It was captured by a group of spies.]
What? Spy?

Or a group?
Xu Ying's sleepy eyes immediately widened like copper bells. Isn't this a walking five hundred thousand?

***
A little tip.

Foxes do not have a natural body odor or so-called body odor. It is just that when they are nervous or overly frightened, their anal glands will release a bad odor. This is a defense mechanism.

Our little fennec fox is a sweet cub~
