279 The Chieftain's Expectations for Lao Liu
These elephants eat a lot of food and a lot of water. There were seven big ones and three small ones, and there was nothing left of that ton of water.
Liu Wenrui felt that this might be really thirsty, and if he gave them water again, they could continue to drink.
It's just that the rest of the water is reserved for the Kale, and now they have a ton of it. If it is put into the Kalai tribe, it will be able to make many people drink.
It took more than an hour to feed the elephants. Xiao Miaomiao is crazy and tired.
There is no such thing as Lao Liu feared, walking with the little guy will be unhappy and lose his temper. The little guy leaned on the car window and waved "goodbye" to these big friends who had just met.
It's so gratifying to Lao Liu, the girl has "grown up" and is sensible. Otherwise, it would be difficult to think about bringing these elephants home as well.
The elephants were also very face-saving, they all drove a little way, and the elephants saw them off, pulling their necks and barking.
"Brother Liu, the elephant's tusks were sawed off, was it done by poachers?" asked Wang Shasha after walking for a while.
Lao Liu shook his head, "It's not poachers, where can poachers see ivory, they are all killed directly and the whole ivory is extracted." ”
"Sadly, sawing off the ivory is a way to protect the elephant. That way, even if they encounter poachers, they won't attack the elephants. ”
"It's not just elephants, rhino horns are sawed off. It's a sad protection from human harm to them, but leaves them without weapons to defend themselves against their enemies in nature. ”
"Even so, many elephants and rhinos are still hunted every year. I know animal police who are in the job of protecting wildlife and fighting poachers. ”
"It's dangerous, and there's a lot of firefighting. Several of them have gunshot wounds, and it seems that animal police officers die in crossfire every year. ”
Wang Shasha stuck out her tongue, she really didn't expect that under the magnificent landscape of the African grassland, there was such a bloody thing hidden.
"Brother Liu, I think elephants are so pitiful. Wang Shasha said with emotion.
Lao Liu grinned bitterly, "There's no way, in fact, in the final analysis, it's humans who are doing evil." If there were no market like that, wouldn't the poachers be unemployed? ”
"The source is us humans, and if we want these animals to be truly unharmed, we have to exterminate all humans. This is unrealistic and impossible. So no matter how much animal protection is done, there will still be poachers. ”
"And it's a sad phenomenon that the more you regulate, the more rampant the poachers become. Because they can get more benefits, they won't care about anything else. ”
These are all things that Rudy said, and it's also a sad thing.
Especially nowadays, poachers have very advanced weapons and equipment. There are also many poachers who have been on the battlefield, and they have a hard time coping.
Sometimes they can only watch poachers hunt animals in front of them, but there is nothing they can do. Because their weapons are too advanced, they can easily be killed when they show their heads.
Rudy: They lived there for a long time and talked a lot. In fact, this is only a microcosm of their daily work, and there are many more tragic conditions.
Like this herd of elephants, they are only a microcosm of the grassland fauna. There will also be many animals that do not have water to drink, and there are even more elephants and animals like them looking for water.
It's a pleasure to play with the elephants, but mentioning it now makes the atmosphere a little depressing. Lao Liu is stronger, Wang Shasha's feelings are richer, and her eyes are red.
After driving for nearly two hours, they finally arrived at the headquarters of the Kale tribe.
Seeing Liu Wenrui's car coming, the people here also greeted him warmly. Liu Wenrui's status in the Kalai clan is not ordinary.
"Hello, old man, I have brought water to everyone. However, on the way, he met a herd of elephants and divided them in half. ”
After seeing the chief come out with a scepter, Lao Liu said with a smile.
The chief glanced at him, handed the scepter to the man beside him, and walked over quickly and gave him a big hug, "Thank you, my dear friend. ”
"Don't be polite to me, I have water there, and I'll let Masika bring you water every day. Lao Liu said with some embarrassment.
The old man of the chief took a serious look at him, and then grabbed the paint sent by the person next to him and began to apply it on Lao Liu's face.
This is the rule here, even if Lao Liu doesn't feel very comfortable, he has to be patient.
The current Lao Liu's entire face is painted red, and he is a serious "red-faced man". Xiao Miaomiao and Wang Shasha looked very funny, and Masika was left with only silly music.
"Old man, is there a serious shortage of water here now?" asked Liu Wenrui.
The chief nodded, "It's serious, not only do we have to drink water, but the animals in the woods and nearby also need to drink water. If you have a lot of water there, send more. ”
Lao Liu nodded, "I can pull almost two and a half tons of water at a time, and I can send it twice a day in the past two days, and then send it once a day should be able to last until the rainy season comes, right?"
The chief nodded, and then led Lao Liu to the tribe's well.
Lao Liu looked down and saw that the well was already in a semi-dry state, but there was some muddy muddy water at the bottom of the well.
"If you don't come today, we'll run out of water tomorrow. The chief said.
"Masika, don't rest, hurry home and pull two more buckets of water. There are also empty buckets at home, and everything that can hold water. Liu Wenrui said to Masika.
"Okay, boss. Masika nodded vigorously.
He didn't expect that the water shortage problem here in the Kale tribe had become so serious, and the water level in the well would drop in the usual dry season, but not so much.
"Thank you, Simon. The chief gave Lao Liu a big hug again.
"Don't be polite to me, blame me, I've been busy with things on my farm all this time. Even when I knew that there was a drought, I didn't think too much about it. Liu Wenrui said.
"You don't have any communication equipment here, and if you encounter a problem like this in the future, you can arrange for someone to come to me and tell me. Don't keep abiding by the rules of the Kalai tribe, human life is the most important thing. ”
The chief nodded, and only then did he look at Wang Shasha. Wang Shasha looked so nervous, and felt that the old man's eyes were too sharp.
"This is half of my little apprentice and my friend. Lao Liu said with a smile.
The chief nodded at Wang Shasha, paused for a moment, and then took Lao Liu's hand and walked towards the big grass shed in the middle.
As for Xiao Miaomiao and the little followers around her, the old man didn't pay much attention to it.
Xiao Miaomiao doesn't need to be cared for, when she arrives here, it's like going home, and she has already led her followers around. As for saying that others may be surprised to see the lion, but in the eyes of the Kalai people, this is really nothing.
In the past, the coming-of-age ceremony of the warriors of their tribe was also to fight lions on the grassland. It's just that there aren't so many lions on the grassland now, and it's slowly canceled.
"Do you have any food there?" After coming to the grass hut and sitting down, the old man of the chief said coldly.
Liu Wenrui smiled and nodded, "Yes, a lot." When Masika returns, I'll bring some with me. ”
"The plundering of the steppes by the people has made the gods angry. The chief glanced at Liu Wenrui and said.
"It's true that people are living in a way that is too harmful to the environment. Lao Liu nodded and agreed.
"You are a person who is favored by the gods, so you should stop them. The old man said angrily.
Lao Liu was stunned, what is this? The title of "the person favored by the gods" is just a matter of talking, why should you take it seriously.
"Old man, although I have made a little money now, it doesn't mean that I can really do it now. Lao Liu said with a wry smile.
"There are some things that can't be solved by money, so I just can help if I can see it. It's like the elephant herd I met today, and if I see it, I will help. I can't see it, or what I can't help, I can't do it. ”
The old man shook his head solemnly, "There are some things that you have to do yourself to know if you can do it." Have you done anything?"
Lao Liu was dumbfounded, and he also had a little anger in his heart.
I kindly brought water, but I didn't come here to be criticized. A few months ago, I enjoyed the title of "favored by the gods", but now it seems that it is really bad.
"Simon, there are many creatures living in this land. The old man said very seriously.
Lao Liu really didn't know what to say, and he never thought that the old man of the chief would have such high "expectations" for himself. Isn't this nonsense? I'm an ordinary person, what can I do?
Looking at Lao Liu's expression, the chief shook his head, "Hey...... It's that I'm too anxious. ”
"Don't worry, I'll definitely help you with things that are within my power. Whether it's a human or an animal, I'm doing it right now. Lao Liu said with a wry smile.
"But to do things, you have to do things gradually. Otherwise, I'm afraid that all my money will be thrown out, and I won't be able to solve any problems. ”
The old man of the chief looked at him seriously, "You still don't understand, slowly, you will understand." ”
Lao Liu's heart is full of helplessness. I wanted to leave like this in a rage, but I couldn't be ruthless when I looked at the chief.
I have to give the old man some eye conditioning, even if it can't be cured, it can help somewhat.
