Chapter 93 Snow Sweeper Gift

Xu Ying looked back and found that the seven released "Snow Whites" were poking their heads out from the crack of the management office door.

Seven small popsicles were stacked together from low to high, pushing against the crack in the door, just like a game of Jenga, with one small head resting on top of another. It looked so cute.

Xu Ying couldn't help laughing: "Why are you back? Aren't you homesick?"

The snow weasels wagged their tails, and the small black spots on their tails swayed in the air like commas.

[Sister, sister, we have a gift for you~]
[We have prepared a thank you performance for you, come and see it!]
Unable to resist the little ones' enthusiasm, Xu Ying turned to Professor Ye and the others and said, "Before it gets dark, let's go into the mountains and release some small animals that live in areas with relatively low altitudes."

Jiang Haiyang waved goodbye to them and said, "Go ahead. Sorry to have wasted your time. I wish you good luck with your work."

Qin Yan opened the gate to the mountain passage for Xu Ying and his group.

Qi Xiao realized that the snow weasel wanted to find Xu Ying for something, so he and the other four drivers went to release the small animals.

Xu Ying followed the snow weasels up the mountain and came to a relatively flat and open area.

The altitude is quite high now, and there is already a thin layer of snow on the ground.

As soon as Xu Ying arrived, she heard a low and soft chirping sound. She looked up and saw a row of snow pigeons with gray-blue wings and white bellies standing on the branches of the spruce tree. They were chirping in a rhythmic manner as if they were singing.

Accompanied by the singing of the snow pigeons, the seven snow weasels and other rescued snow weasels twisted their bodies together and began to dance.

From time to time, they jump into the air, spread their limbs, and flutter in the air like big white bats, spinning, jumping, and rolling... as if they were possessed by a ghost.

Xu Ying had heard that snow weasels dance to confuse their prey when hunting, making it difficult for the prey to judge their position and intentions, thereby reducing the prey's vigilance.

I didn't expect the snow ferret's dance to be so funny and cute! It really looks like a shaman dance, worthy of being the white-haired Wong Tai Sin.

She smiled with her big white teeth showing, and took out her cell phone to record the dancing of the Snow White princesses.

However, what Xu Ying did not expect was that just as the singing of the snow pigeons gradually faded and the performance was coming to an end, seven snow weasels suddenly dug out seven large white flowers with a hint of green from the snow.

As soon as the snow pigeon finished singing, the snow weasel held a flower in its mouth and jumped in front of Xu Ying to present the flower to her.

After Xu Ying saw clearly the flowers that the little ones were holding, the smile on his face froze for a moment, and he seemed to be nailed to the spot.

My goodness, isn’t this like being in prison for a lifetime?

The snow weasels stood in front of Xu Ying with a flower in their mouths for a long time. Seeing that Stationmaster Xu had not accepted their gift, they became depressed for a moment, and their small black bean-like eyes were filled with grievance and almost cried.

[Webmaster, why don’t you accept the flowers? Don’t you like them?]
[Sister, do you think we dislike the gifts you gave me? Wow… Wow]
Xu Ying: Mom, who would accept a prison sentence of up to three years and a fine?
Who dares to like it?
The snow-sweeping weasels began to quarrel as they talked.

[We only picked snow lotus because my eldest brother said humans like it. Now it seems my sister doesn’t like snow lotus at all!]
[I told you, this lousy flower isn't pretty, what's so good about it? Webmaster, don't be angry, we'll find you another gift.]
"Wait a minute!"

Xu Ying patted their heads soothingly: "How long have you been picking these Xishan snow lotuses?" The snow weasel tilted its head: "We picked them today. They're so fresh~"
Xu Ying was extremely shocked: "It's only been a short time, and you've already picked seven snow lotuses?"

The snow weasels shook the snow off their long beards, unconcerned. Snow lotus wasn't anything unusual to them: "We asked Aunt Snow Pigeon and other small animals to help us pick it."
[In exchange for the snow lotus, we also promised them that we would help them find food on the ground during the winter.]
The snow weasels feel a little aggrieved. For the sake of these flowers, they have to work part-time for Aunt Snow Pigeon.

In the eyes of most animals, the snow lotus of Xishan Mountain is a worthless flower because it tastes very bitter and may easily lead to death if eaten.

[Snow Pigeon aunts have seen many Xishan snow lotus.]
Xu Ying understood immediately after hearing this. Snow pigeons usually live in high mountain cliffs and rocky areas and move in groups. They have strong flying ability and can fly flexibly between steep cliffs. The advantages of their habitat and the fact that they move in groups make them well-informed. These two factors allow them to easily find wild snow lotus that humans cannot discover.

Moreover, the wild snow lotus that lives in such a harsh environment as cliffs but still grows well is of extremely high quality!

Xu Ying carefully checked the Xishan Snow Lotus they brought over and breathed a sigh of relief. The snow lotus was cut at the stem, not uprooted. If the roots remained in the soil, it would be convenient for the plant to continue growing, and this method could also preserve the medicinal properties of the plant.

Xu Ying stroked the snow weasel's body soothingly. "Thank you for the flowers, my dears. However, this is a national second-class protected plant. We humans will be locked up if we take flowers without permission. But you have been a great help today!"

"This flower is very effective in treating human diseases!"

The snow weasels, who had been drooping their heads, suddenly raised their heads, their eyes bright, and asked, "Really?"

Xu Ying nodded heavily: "Yes! With these snow lotus flowers, if you need anything in the future, just come to the management office. You are the most distinguished guests of the management office!"

The most urgent thing is to put these Xishan snow lotus into a fresh-keeping bag and store it in the refrigerator.

Xu Ying said to the little white balls, "Can you bring the flowers and come back with me to the management office?"

The snow ferrets nodded in unison. In their eyes, the West Mountain Administrator was the mountain king of the human world, and they were all eager to become the most honored guests of the West Mountain "mountain king"'s territory.
In the management office, Professor Ye, who was waiting for the medical vehicle to pick him up, was still looking up at the sky depressedly and sighing.

Jiang Haiyang was also feeling heavy-hearted. His doctoral dissertation was about studying how Saussurea dasyphylla could inhibit tumor cell metastasis. If the project was terminated now, he wouldn't be able to complete his doctorate and might have to wait five years to graduate.

Sorrow!

The master and the disciple both had the same desperate expression.

Qin Yan sat on the chair holding the thermos cup and didn't dare to say a word. He looked at the two of them with sympathy in his eyes.

However, at this moment, the door of the management office was pushed open, and Xu Ying came in with seven small white flowers: "Quick, quick, do you have a container for the Xishan Snow Lotus?"

After seeing clearly what Xu Ying brought, Qin Yan froze in place with his eyes wide open.

Jiang Haiyang's jaw almost dropped to the ground when he was halfway through sighing.

Professor Ye, who was weak and depressed just now, sat up from the bed and rubbed his eyes.

No way, it’s only been less than thirty minutes!

Not thirty days, not thirty hours, but thirty minutes!
Seven rare Xishan snow lotus flowers were delivered to your door like Ele.me takeout?
