Live Cat Appraisal: Starting with a Beast That's Got a Long Prison Record

Chapter 295 Zhemo Mang, who left work early
Before Chen Nian could leave the tiger enclosure, his phone vibrated.

It was sent by the zookeeper of 'Zhemo Mang'.

"Teacher Chen! Something terrible has happened!"

"The little leeches and mangoes are on strike!"

"Huh?" Chen Nian was stunned after seeing the message.

He had originally planned to stroll around the tiger enclosure with Xia Qiyue for a while longer, hoping to use his 'weak' charm to try and 'flirt' with the majestic white-browed tiger king in the pride.

Let's see if we can establish some connection with this Tiger King.

If she could become acquainted with the Tiger King, and then put in a good word for him, perhaps Da Hua's life in the tiger pack would be easier in the future, and she would suffer less exclusion and bullying.

Before they could even take two steps and see the Tiger King, they received news of the 'Zhemo Mang strike'.

"What's going on? Why the sudden strike?"

Chen Nian quickly typed a question.

Although it's called "working time," it's actually the animals' daily free time, which was specially planned after being recorded by the park.

They are usually very active when it's their turn to be active.

Comparable to the snow leopard's 'workaholic'!
That's why he became a rising internet celebrity in the snow leopard area.

But today's early "departure" left Chen Nian a little confused.

Immediately afterwards, the zookeeper sent him a picture.

The photo was taken from behind the crowd.

Outside the observation window of the snow leopard enclosure, a large crowd of tourists, both adults and children, were craning their necks and wearing expectant smiles.

However, the activity area in front of them, which simulated a high mountain rock wall, was now empty.

Let alone snow leopards, you can't even see a single leopard hair.

Only in the shadows at the entrance to the activity area from the inner quarters could one vaguely see the tip of a fluffy tail with familiar ring patterns, lazily resting on the threshold without moving.

Ding--

Another picture was sent.

This time, the background was changed to a slightly darker interior room.

The brothers Ling Xiaozhe and Ling Xiaomang, who should have been playing and frolicking in the activity area, were now lying side by side in a corner of the inner shed covered with dry grass.

Ling Xiaozhe rested her head on Ling Xiaomang's waist.

Two pairs of icy blue eyes gazed at the entrance, their eyes filled with waiting and anticipation.

Chen Nian recognized him at a glance.

This is the corner where I massage them every day.

Chen Nian immediately understood 'Zhemo Mang's' idea.

"Well, so they think that leaving get off work early means they can enjoy their massage therapy sooner, huh!"

He typed back, feeling both amused and exasperated.

The zookeeper was also somewhat helpless: "They don't want to wait at all. After playing for a while, they became distracted and kept running back to their enclosure."

"After coming in just now, I haven't come out at all."

"We've been looking forward to your visit, Teacher Chen!"

The young lady had no other choice but to try contacting Chen Nian.

"If it's convenient for you, Teacher Chen, could you come over now?" the zookeeper asked tentatively.

Since things have come to this, they naturally won't kick the two little ones out. They might as well take the opportunity to invite Chen Nian over for treatment.

Upon hearing the zookeeper's words, Chen Nian agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll go over immediately."

Putting away her phone, Chen Nian looked at Xia Qiyue's curious gaze and explained with a smile as she walked, "Let's go, let's go to the snow leopard enclosure first. Xiao Zhe and Xiao Mang are already lying down waiting for me."

"Good~"

Upon hearing this, Xia Qiyue couldn't help but smile.

It seems that whether it's humans or animals, once they've eaten and drunk their fill, they still know how to pursue enjoyment.

Chen Nian's massage is the ultimate enjoyment.

Chen Nian shook her head, her smile revealing understanding and a deeper level of comprehension.

The two little ones must have done more than just enjoy themselves.

More than anything, it stemmed from an urgent desire to regain health!
They know their own bodies better than anyone else.

The weakness in the posterior muscles caused by the lower back injury was like a persistent leech, constantly affecting the two brothers' ability to move.

The beam that spanned the top of the activity area was like an insurmountable chasm.

Neither the little shrike nor the little mango could jump up smoothly.

You'll always get thrown down.

And each failed attempt to jump is probably more damaging to their confidence than the physical pain!

Lower back injury.

For snow leopards, who must exert all their strength for survival in the wild, this is almost a fatal flaw. It is also the main reason why the park has been unable to release them back into the wild.

And now Chen Nian has appeared.

This gave both brothers hope for a recovery!
They understand their own bodies and can clearly feel that after Chen Nian's massage, their injuries are obviously improving and their strength is gradually returning.

Animals are born with the ability to seek advantage and avoid harm.

Therefore, their dependence on Chen Nian is deepening step by step.

Today's early 'strike' will likely become the norm in the future!
Until they consider that beam no longer an obstacle.

Until they regain the agility and confidence that belong to the 'King of the Snow Mountains'.

Chen Nian figured this out on the way.

As we approached the snow leopard's activity area, before we even saw the observation window, a cacophony of disappointed chatter drifted over.

The visitor trail should have been filled with laughter and joy.

The atmosphere was clearly somber.

Chen Nian saw many families with children walking out of the trail with regretful expressions.

Frustration was written all over the children's faces.

Come with good fortune and return with bad luck.

Some even pouted, their eyes red-rimmed, as their parents pulled them along, turning back to look at the empty activity area every few steps.

They are all fans of the 'Zhemo Mang' snow leopard brothers.

Half of them came specifically to see the daphnia and mango.

However, the two brothers left work early, leaving him empty-handed.

This is undoubtedly a great regret for the children who may only have this one chance to visit 'Zhemo Mang' before they grow up.

"."

Chen Nian couldn't help but stop in her tracks.

My gaze swept over those disappointed little faces, and my thoughts were instantly pulled back to many years ago.

At that time, he was the same age as these children.

His father, unusually, set aside an entire day to take him to a zoo in the next province to see the tigers he had seen countless times in picture books and longed to see.

Xiao Chen was so excited about this that she couldn't sleep well for several days!
He flipped through the feline encyclopedia his father had compiled for him, and made a 'travel guide' in a very serious manner.

They set watching tigers as a more important goal than watching cartoons.

However, God is not good.

It started raining heavily that morning.

Although the zoo remains open, many animals, including the tiger that Xiao Chennian was so looking forward to, are staying in their indoor enclosures and have not come out.

Through the blurry glass, all I could see was an empty, simulated mountain forest.

The immense sense of loss from having one's highest expectations dashed was colder than the rain itself.

He felt as if the whole world had turned gray and dark at that moment.

It took Xiao Chen more than half a month to slowly process that regret.

The heavy blow suffered by a young mind.

Chen Nian still remembers it vividly!

"They probably feel the same way I did back then."

Chen Nian walked silently toward the employee entrance.

Xia Qiyue keenly sensed Chen Nian's emotional fluctuations and couldn't help but lean forward towards him, asking him with her eyes.

Those beautiful eyes held not only concern but also unwavering support.

No matter what Chen Nian wanted to do, she would stand by his side.

Chen Nian received this emotion steadily.

He returned Xia Qiyue's gentle and reassuring smile, and then, without further hesitation, strode directly toward the zookeeper.

He also took out his phone and sent a message to the principal.

The principal replied to him in less than a minute.

Only three words.

"no problem!"

Upon seeing these three words, Chen Nian felt a warmth in her heart.

His gaze met that of 'Zhemo Mang' inside the room through the observation window, and then he opened the door and went in.

soon.

Those tourists who were strolling around other areas of Nishino, admiring the various small animals, suddenly heard the loudspeakers set up throughout the park blaring at the same time.

"Dear tourists."
