I raise furry animals and fly them to my motherland.

Chapter 94 Looking for trouble

Seeing that everyone in the room was stunned, the anxious Xu Ying hurriedly repeated several times: "Container, I need to save the container!"

Jiang Haiyang came back to his senses and his hands were shaking with excitement as he searched for the storage container in his equipment.

That’s great! Stationmaster Xu was able to find seven Xishan Snow Lilies in such a short time. He has a good chance of graduating!

He collected the snow lotus branches in the snow weasel's mouth one by one and put them into the container.

The snow weasels couldn't help but complain when they saw the exaggerated and "unworldly" appearance of the three humans in the house.

[Wow, sister, their reaction is so exaggerated. Aren’t they just seven big white flowers?]

"They haven't seen this much of the world. If we take them to the Snow Lotus Valley we've been to before, they'll definitely faint on the spot!"

"Snow Lotus Valley?"

When Xu Ying heard these three words, his eyes widened. He couldn't imagine a valley full of snow lotuses. It could be described as a field of gold.

"And Snow Lotus Valley? Where is it?"

[The Snow Lotus Valley is hard to find, and the entrance is only the size of a fist-sized rock, so only we small animals can get in.]
[Webmaster sister, if you want, we will pick all the flowers and give them to you~]

Seeing hope, Professor Ye's mood had become visibly brighter, completely different from the gloomy look just now. He warned Jiang Haiyang: "Take it easy, kid, don't break the container."

"Don't worry, I still want to graduate!"

After Jiang Haiyang had preserved the seven snow lotuses, he couldn't help but ask, "Stationmaster Xu, how did you manage to find seven snow lotuses in such a short time?"

Xu Ying pointed at the little popsicles surrounding her and said, "These little guys said they wanted to give me a thank-you gift. They asked the snow pigeons to pick them on the cliff."

"I remembered!"

Jiang Haiyang slapped his forehead and said, "I heard from my junior brother before that there is a rescuer in the desert rescue area who can understand the speech of small animals. Is that you?"

Xu Ying touched his head embarrassedly. Didn’t he know that his fame had become so high?

"it's me."

Professor Ye's tone when speaking to Xu Ying was very cordial and kind, almost as if he were recognizing her as his granddaughter. "Master Xu, I've asked Xiao Jiang to take photos of these seven snow lotuses. Please give Xiao Jiang your bank card number later. The commission will be deposited to your card next week."

Xu Ying waved her hands quickly: "I didn't find these flowers. I just sent them here to help."

Professor Ye smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, you don't know how much you've helped us, we won't feel at ease unless you accept it. The reward we promised will definitely be paid in full."

"We'll probably have to trouble you more in the future, so just think of it as a part-time job, otherwise we'll feel bad."

Xu Ying no longer refused and asked, "Professor Ye, how many Xishan snow lotuses do you need?"

Professor Ye sighed, "This batch of experiments requires 500 snow lotuses, and I'm afraid we'll have to stockpile thousands more in the future."

"This time we lost 2,032 Xishan Snow Lotuses." Xu Ying gasped, "So many?!"

Professor Ye couldn't help but get angry when he mentioned this: "This was definitely a premeditated crime by a gang, otherwise it wouldn't have been possible to do it so cleanly and without leaving any traces. They must have been coveting this batch of snow lotus for a long time and were just waiting for an opportunity."

"For such a small profit, they directly ruined a scientific research project of immeasurable value. These people are truly short-sighted."

Jiang Haiyang slammed the table in anger. These robbers are really wasting time!

Qin Yan sighed when he heard the discussion. "After all, it's not theirs. They only care about their immediate interests."

Poachers are like this, as are miners, stupid and greedy.

Xu Ying recalled Jiang Haiyang's words about the need for fresh snow lotus for scientific research. "The blizzard happened eleven days ago, and those people haven't had more than two weeks to pick the snow lotus. If they knew how to preserve it, we could probably recover the snow lotus they stole and use it for your research projects, right?"

Jiang Haiyang nodded, his face solemn. "Now, besides picking the existing snow lotus on the mountain, the most important thing is to catch these poachers as soon as possible."

"We have called the police and asked them to keep an eye out for anyone selling snow lotus in large numbers recently."

"But there's little hope."

Qin Yan added: "These bandits are very smart. In addition to selling their stolen goods in batches, they will wait for a while until the hype has died down before selling them."

"I'm afraid they won't rush into the muzzle of the gun right now."

"Perhaps by the time they make their move, the snow lotus will have already been dried into dried flowers."

The management room fell into silence.

Professor Ye looked at the snow lotus in the container with reluctance, stroking the glass of the container with care.

Suddenly, he pushed up his glasses and noticed the cut of the snow lotus.

"These little animals are quite professional. How do they know how to cut the snow lotus from the root?"

Xu Ying was also startled when she heard this, and then turned to ask the Snow White princesses: "My dears, these flowers were picked by the Snow Pigeon, right? How did the Snow Pigeon know that the snow lotus should be cut from the stem? It's so particular!"

The snow weasels stood up: "Auntie Snow Pigeon said a group of people came up the mountain and picked snow lotus this way. They said that if we keep the roots, we can have a big harvest in three to five years."
Xu Ying sensed a clue and immediately asked, "When did that group of people come?"

[You'll have to ask Aunt Snow Pigeon about this. I'm going to call them now~]

The little guys were very enthusiastic to help their savior and soon called a group of snow pigeons.

Just as the blizzard was ending, a group of people suddenly arrived, about twenty of them, each carrying a large backpack. They didn't sleep, searching for snow lotus in the snowy mountains day and night. They seemed to know exactly where the snow lotus is, and they always found it.
[They also said it could fetch a good price abroad.]
Xu Ying: "So which direction did they go down the mountain in the end?"

[We'll have to ask the little animals along the way to find out. We didn't pay much attention.]
Xu Ying: "Does anyone here remember the facial features of any of these twenty people?"

The snow pigeons pondered for a moment, then two of them flapped their wings and cooed, "I remember there was a very short one, about the same height as Stationmaster Xu. But he was incredibly agile. Even though the snow lotus was right on the edge of a cliff, he still dared to pick it. He was so brave! It gave us passersby a fright."
When Xu Ying heard the words "very short" related to herself, she felt like crying.

[He also had a friend with a big, thick mouth. When he saw us, he wanted to shoot us down to make pigeon soup. We were so scared that we didn't dare to get close to them.]
