About half an hour later, Ah Qing and Mo Yiqing finally came out of the community hospital. Ansheng, who was bored to the point of almost falling asleep, couldn't help but complain.
The raven next door is such a chatterbox, almost like the monk in A Chinese Odyssey.
As Mo Yiqing walked, he accidentally tugged at his wound, and while inhaling sharply, he didn't forget to ask Ah Qing, "What did the little fox say?"
"What can the little fox say? He's asking why we haven't started eating yet."
Ah Qing spoke with a helpless expression, "With your current condition having gastroenteritis, you should eat lightly!"
"You wouldn't want to continue experiencing the feeling like there's a Water Blade inside your backside, right?"
"I eat with my mouth, gastroenteritis is a matter of the stomach, what does it have to do with my mouth," Mo Yiqing retorted, displeased upon hearing Ah Qing's advice.
Ah Qing rolled her eyes, took the little fox back to the parking lot, and headed to the teahouse for tea and breakfast.
Except, all those spicy and stimulating foods were nothing to do with Mo Yiqing.
The little fox happily munching on shrimp dumplings and black pepper beef ribs.
Mo Yiqing looked helpless, rubbing his still slightly aching stomach with one hand, eating a bowl of plain mustard pork porridge and a non-spicy Fuding pork slice soup.
Ah Qing had century egg and pork porridge and a plate of dumplings.
After breakfast, having asked Mo Yiqing if he wanted to go back and rest, and getting a resolute no, Ah Qing scratched her head and then set off again, preparing to head to Changping Pet Paradise for live streaming.
Following the river, occasionally seeing fishermen along the way.
Except most were leisure players, not seeing any feeding the fish with river bait.
As they entered the mountain area, Ansheng, sitting in the passenger seat next to Mo Yiqing, twitched his ears slightly, vaguely hearing the sound of a beast's roar.
"Ah Qing... Seems like there's a bear stuck, I heard it cursing quite dirty,"
Ansheng pressed his head against the car window glass, carefully distinguishing the subtle roar, turned his head, and informed Ah Qing of what he had just heard.
Ah Qing, who was driving, paused, parked the car in the weed wild by the roadside, listened to the surrounding sounds, but apart from some bird chirping, she didn't hear the roar of the big bear mentioned by the little fox.
Ansheng raised his hand and pointed towards the mountain.
With some disbelief, Ah Qing stepped forward, Mo Yiqing also got out from the passenger seat, with curiosity, followed behind Ah Qing towards the mountain.
Walking across the grass at the edge of the forest, entering the mountain several hundred meters, they could clearly see some cemented land and signposts marked with electric fences, and further ahead, there was a water drainage channel built up the mountain.
Walking up to halfway up the hill, what presented before Ah Qing and Mo Yiqing was a black bear that fell into the water drainage channel, its back on the ground, limbs sprawling, eyes slightly red, flailing its limbs wildly, letting out panicked and angry roars from its mouth.
"Seems... a bit stressed."
Ah Qing stepped forward slightly, examined the bear stuck in the drainage channel, tried communicating with it, but the bear refused and roared at her.
Ah Qing wasn't too scared, just showed a slightly troubled expression.
The bear seemed frightened, and getting it out was quite troublesome.
"Stressed? I can fix it!"
Ansheng jumped out from Mo Yiqing's arms, ran to the concrete molded drainage channel, sneakily observing towards Ah Qing and Mo Yiqing.
While the two were making calls, ready to call forestry staff, Ansheng raised his fox paw and slapped the bear's snout.
The bear froze, glaring menacingly at the fox, letting out a fierce threatening roar.
Ansheng let out a cold laugh and slapped it with the back of his paw. Fresh chapters posted on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝘯𝘦𝘵
The originally clawing black bear froze, instinctively raised its bear paws to cover its cheek.
Ansheng grinned at the bear, raised his little fox paw wanting to continue slapping.
The bear's neck shrank, covering its head.
"Ah Qing! I cured its stress!" Ansheng saw the bear yielding, instantly turned around, faced Ah Qing who was making a phone call, and whimpered.
"Huh? The bear isn't stressed anymore?"
Upon hearing the little fox's whimpering, Ah Qing glanced at the canal where the bear was trapped, its body curled up, bear paws covering its cheeks, with a faint visible double chin.
"Oh, oh, oh... It's all good now, the bear is no longer stressed, we can handle it, no need to waste public resources calling them over."
Ah Qing spoke to the forestry staff, and the operator on the other end of the line paused, then burst out in a screeching wail:
"Don't hang up the phone! Bears are dangerous! It's not dry crispy noodles, I beg you, right now step away from the bear and wait for our Forest Ranger."
The operator, hearing the beep, nearly fainted immediately, cursing internally about who the heck's such a clueless kid.
That's a bear, damn it! If it's stuck in the canal, let it stay stuck, we'll return to rescue it, what are you, a college student without the strength to bind a chicken, doing here!
It hugs your head and gnaws gnaws gnaws!
Having confirmed the bear was unstressed, and the bear agreed not to harm anyone upon coming out, Ah Qing squatted and posed like a weightlifting athlete ready to deadlift.
Ah Qing grabbed the bear's white collar with her left hand, pinched the fur on its belly with her right hand.
In the bear's terrified expression, Ah Qing wildly exerted strength, pulling the bear out of the water channel, lifting it high over her head, turned around, walked out of the canal area, and then placed the bear on the ground.
The bear, weighing about over 230 pounds as an adult, upon being lifted overhead by Ah Qing, suddenly experienced the familiar feeling of being body-slammed by mom back in the day.
The bear, with a face full of fear, curled itself into a ball, rolling down the hill, not daring to look back.
Ah Qing showed a look of confusion, watching the bear curled into a ball rolling down the hill, her expression a bit puzzled.
While Mo Yiqing and Ansheng beside her, watched the scene with stiff expressions.
"Xiaolan... you must have it tough usually, right?" Mo Yiqing set aside the phone she was recording with, looked at the little fox sitting by her feet, and couldn't help but comment.
She originally intended to record a video of Ah Qing pulling the bear out of the canal, then, the bear cheerfully hugging Ah Qing, to post on Ah Qing's Yinf Notes account... but now what is left.
The chubby bear, having been lifted overhead by Ah Qing, got its bravery scared away.
"It's okay, right? After all, Ah Qing eats a lot, it's understandable that she's a bit stronger," Ansheng commented.
If you can lift a bear overhead so easily, why worry it'll stress out and injure people?
It flails its paws at you, you perfectly block it.
You punch it twice, it instantly rewinds to medical care.
"Such a shame... the little bear ran too fast," Ah Qing sighed longingly, though Xia Dong's area had bears distributed, this animal was quite rare.
Ah Qing originally wanted to have a good chat with it, but the bear had already vanished.
Ah Qing let out a sigh down the hill, a black sedan just about to stop at the shredded pepper fish head, but the people inside seemed to notice someone coming, so they accelerated away.
Ah Qing returned to the car, Ansheng frowned as he glanced at the black sedan.
Ah Qing continued driving towards Pet Paradise.
After a twenty-minute drive.
The shredded pepper fish head stopped at Pet Paradise's entrance, but at the entrance, a tent structure was erected, concrete mixer trucks were going in and out, employees wearing safety helmets ran back and forth in the parking lot.
Ah Qing stood by the shredded pepper fish head electric car, shoulder to shoulder with Mo Yiqing, looking at the construction in Pet Paradise.
"Is this... a real estate development?" Mo Yiqing asked with a bit of confusion, looking at Ah Qing.
"They're developing real estate deep in the mountains?" Ah Qing looked confused, turning to Mo Yiqing.
