I raise furry animals and fly them to my motherland.

Chapter 42: Rat is destined to work hard
Xu Ying shook his head, thinking that there might be some undisclosed track and field training base in Yisha City.

She unplugged the noodle cooker, opened a bottle of soda for herself, and started enjoying her dinner with canned meat, quickly putting the matter out of her mind.

The big vultures haven't flown here tonight. I guess they'll be stopping and starting, and won't arrive until tomorrow.

Before handing over to the staff of the Raptor Rescue Center, we have to prepare dinner for these vultures.

The food relief center will reimburse her expenses, but where will she go to deal with the dead cattle and sheep?
Xu Ying scrolled through his address book and fixed his gaze on the name "Qi Xiao." Didn't Qi Xiao own many ranches? He'd definitely have enough food for the vultures!
Xu Ying nervously called Qi Xiao, and the other party answered the phone quickly.

After learning about Xu Ying's "meal ordering" request, Qi Xiao readily agreed and said that he would deliver the meal tomorrow.

The food problem was solved, and Xu Ying solved a big problem in one go. Qi Xiao really helped a lot, delivering milk powder and bottles to the fox cubs and rations to the vultures. I must thank him when I have the chance.

At nine o'clock the next morning, after feeding the fox cubs, Xu Ying took a small piece of bread for breakfast and prepared to go out for his routine patrol.

When she was looking for her motorcycle key, she remembered that she had left her motorcycle in the desert 200 kilometers away yesterday. It seemed that she could only walk for an hour to check the highway pipeline.

Xu Ying was thinking this when he opened the door and found a motorcycle covered with a brand new dust cover parked at his door.

A small note was taped to the door of the shelter.

The note read: "Ms. Xu, it will take time to ship the new motorcycle back from abroad, so we're sending the old one back first as an emergency measure."

"The old motorcycle has been overhauled and all the old parts have been replaced."

"Remember to eat breakfast. There's a surprise when you peel back the dust sheet."

The note was signed by Qiao Yanli's secretary Jiang Yun.

New motorcycles shipped from abroad?
Xu Ying was shocked. He was worthy of being the president. This was too exaggerated.

She lifted the dust cover and found that the battle-hardened motorcycle looked brand new, even the bumper was polished and shiny.

There was a box similar to a takeout thermal box at the rear of the motorcycle.

Xu Ying opened the thermal box, which contained milk, coffee, boxed fruit salad, French fries and fried chicken... a box full of fresh food.

This is not even breakfast, it's enough for her to eat for the whole day.

Xu Ying had a hearty breakfast and then rode his motorcycle to the highway to inspect the water pipes.

The "refurbished" motorcycle accelerated quickly and had sufficient horsepower. Xu Ying quickly arrived at the vicinity of the highway and began to inspect the water pipes.

Drought-resistant vegetation will be planted on both sides of the highway to protect the highway and prevent wind and sand erosion. Water well irrigation systems will be laid on both sides.

Water pipes are easily damaged or malfunctioned by factors such as wind and sand erosion, high temperature and exposure, so daily maintenance is very important.

She had only checked a section of the road when she heard a familiar squeak.

Xu Ying looked down in surprise, realizing the gerbil boss had slid to her feet. [I've checked for you. The drip irrigation pipes along this stretch of highway are generally fine. There are just two pipe joints that look a little fragile. I'll take you to check them out later!]
After the gerbil boss finished speaking, he put his two pink little paws on his hips and looked like "praise me quickly".

"Wow, Rat, you're awesome too! Thank you!"

Following the little gerbil, Xu Ying checked two pipes that were prone to problems. He marked them and reported them to the relevant maintenance personnel.

She took out some scallion cookies and thanked the gerbils. "Thank you! You saved me a lot of trouble. It would have taken me an hour or two to check it myself."

[Hehe, you humans still have to bend down to check, but we rats can tell whether it is normal or not just by crawling around on the water pipe.

The gerbil boss patted his chest and said, "And with our keen hearing and sense of smell, we can spot problems that you humans can't see. Strength lies in numbers. One gerbil can inspect a section in a quarter of an hour."
[From now on, we Shushu will take care of your plumbing maintenance!]
Wow!
There are rats willing to share the work with her!

This sentence is simply the most beautiful animal language Xu Ying has ever heard!

At this moment, the image of the little gerbil became extremely tall in her mind.

While her colleagues at the company might shirk responsibility and shirk tasks, her little gerbil colleague helps her share the work, being efficient and reliable, and the reward is two packs of scallion cookies.
Xu Ying really loves her current job more and more!
The work, which was already light, needed to be made easier. Xu Ying scratched his head in embarrassment: "This, this is not good, right?"

[Hey, it's just something we do! This way you'll have more time to help the little animals, like the rats.]
At this point, the gerbil boss's little paws stirred nervously.

Xu Ying was amused by the gerbil boss: "What kind of help do you need? Just tell me directly, no need to beat around the bush."

[We are planning to move, but we haven’t found a suitable place yet. Since you have been to many places, can you help us choose a location for our new home?]
"move place?"

Xu Ying was extremely surprised: "Didn't you just build your new home? Why are you moving out so suddenly? And I haven't seen you around the shelter recently."

The gerbil boss looked around and lowered his voice: [The situation is tense recently.]
Xu Ying was at a loss for words: "You're so cautious, is there anyone who dares to arrest you underground workers?"

[A group of very powerful tiger-weasel hunters came to our neighborhood and surrounded our rats. They could kill two or three hundred rats in one night. It was terrifying!]
The gerbil boss trembled when he said this.

So we all fled to the highway, where cars occasionally pass by, but there are fewer animals, and weasels don't come here to hunt.
You can also meet Xu Ying, the breeding officer who comes here to inspect the water pipes every day.

Tiger weasel?

Xu Ying knew that the weasel was an animal with a strong ability to catch mice and a fierce temperament, making it a natural enemy of mice.

However, the existence of the food chain is a natural law. As an animal rescuer, she has no right to interfere with the normal hunting of animals. The rats at the bottom of the food chain are indeed miserable.

[When it rains, it pours. Misfortune always finds its way to the unfortunate. The groundwater is leaking, and our new home has been flooded.]
Xu Ying shook his head after hearing this. It was too tragic!
"Tell me your site selection criteria so I can recall where there is such a place."

[We need to choose a place with relatively loose soil and good ventilation to dig the hole. The bottom of a fixed sand dune, the shady slope of a sand dune, or under a bush are all good options.]
The gerbil boss had a look of longing on his face: "I heard that you humans are familiar with the distribution of groundwater. It would be great if you could help us avoid the groundwater layer~"
"That's no problem. When we built the aid stations, we relied on the distribution of groundwater to determine their locations."

Well, thinking about it in reverse, the little gerbils that dig holes everywhere can also help humans find new underground water sources for use!
