In a traditional Zulu sand and straw hut there are a few small beasts, they are not very large, about a meter or so, but this is because they have a long tail, considering that their tail is longer than their body, they are really not big.

These little beasts are listlessly prostrate on the ground, they have gray-black short hair, and some dark spots on their bodies, and when they find someone approaching, they immediately hide in the dark lightly and cleverly, revealing only their small black eyes to look out secretly.

"You see, this is the civet. Jill pointed in.

There was a strong fragrance coming from the hut, Yang Shubao had only seen this amazing animal in books and TV before, and now he stood at the door and watched it when there was a living thing in front of him.

Musk cats are called cats, but they don't have the feline's signature pie face, but have a long mouth like a dog, and when they only show their heads outside, they are more likely to be considered small black dogs.

Yang Shubao looked inside at a few civet cats and looked out, their eyes inevitably collided, and then Lao Yang felt aggrieved and sullen: these civets were very unhappy, and some were even lifeless.

Musk cats are the elves of the African forests, they are short, lean and free-spirited.

But they were not guilty of it, because their perianal glands secreted musky oils, which could be used as stabilizers for fine perfumes, and were so popular in the European luxury market that they were arrested.

Yang Shubao stared at them, and they stared at Yang Shubao, and then one of them slowly walked towards him, pulling at the door and stretching out its paws to him.

Jill said in amazement: "Hey, it's amazing, civets are very timid, even the appearance of the owner of Hamestu will scare them into hiding everywhere, I didn't expect this one to be afraid of you." ”

There was more than one civet cat who was not afraid of Yang Shubao, and the other civet cats also came over intermittently, and finally the remaining two were left in the corner and did not move.

It was the two that didn't move that gave him a lifeless feeling.

He knew the reason why the civets were leaning in, because he had the scent of the tree of life, which animals could feel up close, and the civets trusted him and came to him for help.

Yang Shubao is uncomfortable, this feeling is not from the heart, but from the civets.

As the tree of life grew, he also grew, and like the Warcraft elves, he could gradually sense the emotions of animals.

However, his perception is not as sensitive as that of the Warcraft Elves, and he can only perceive it when the animals show particularly obvious emotions, especially the sadness, frustration, and despair that these civets exude.

The dryad panel popped up: [Young city lord, please have mercy on the lives in front of you, they are calling for help from you, rescue them and regain their freedom.] 】

There was no reward this time, but Lao Yang's determination to complete the task was the strongest one.

He patted Jill on the shoulder and said, "Are these civets the property of your clan or the property of this lady Hamestu?"

"The civets were captured by our people, but Hamestu's husband gave his life for the people, so my father and the elders gave them to Hamestu so that her family would not fall apart because of the loss of her husband," Jill said. ”

Yang Shubao said, "Then how about you introduce me to this Hamestu lady? I want to buy these civets." ”

Jill scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "It's easy to introduce you to Hamestu, but it's probably difficult for you to buy them, and Hamestu scrapes these civet balms to sell them to feed his family." ”

Yang Shubao said: "I want to talk to her, and I am willing to offer her a suitable price." ”

Jill stared into his eyes and nodded and said, "You are a kind person, I know you are engaged in animal protection, and I am willing to help you." ”

Hamestu's home was in a sand and straw hut next to her, she was taking a nap in it, and when she woke up, she was stunned when she saw Yang Shubao: "It's you, kind Chinese gentleman?"

Yang Shubao said: "Yes, madam, I came to the door today in a hurry and did not prepare a gift, it is really rude, please forgive me." ”

The two exchanged a few polite words, and Jill helped: "Hameistu, this kind Mr. Yang saw your civets, he wants to buy these civets and release them into the wild, he is a kind man." ”

Upon hearing this, Hamestu's originally smiling expression turned into embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yang, I respect you very much, and I also respect the little patriarch, but these civets provide for our difficult family, and I can't afford to lose them." ”

"I'm willing to give you a reasonable price, and you can use the money to start a small business, which is more than you can make with civet balm," Yang said. ”

Hamestu shook his head and said, "The Zulu people don't know how to trade, sir, I don't even know addition and subtraction, and I can't read, how can I make a good deal?"

The boy who was riding the tractor with his mother last time jumped out of bed, and he handed Yang Shubao a wild citrus and said with a smile: "It's a kind Chinese, thank you for sending us home last time, this orange is given to you, it's delicious." ”

Yang Shubao smiled and thanked him, and when he saw this young man, he had an idea again, and he asked, "Madam, do you have two sons? They have reached the age of going to school, what grade are they in now?"

The answer was not what he expected, and Hamestu sighed and said, "It is already difficult for us to live, let alone go to school, only the sons of the patriarchs and elders can go to school, as long as they know how to hunt." ”

Yang Shubao said: "But after I give you a sum of money, you can send them to school, they will learn knowledge, and knowledge can change their fate." ”

"Yang didn't lie to you, knowledge can change fate, when the two of them have knowledge, they can go to work in the city like my brother and brother, it will be easier to make money, life will be better, and there will be no need to shrink in our tribe. Jill said helpfully.

Hamestu was visibly moved, what mother wouldn't want her child to be successful?

Yang Shubao continued: "I know that you are worried that you will not be able to rely on the money you will have to rely on after the civet is spent, so it is better to give you some guinea fowl in addition to the money." They are very precious, you can use them to lay eggs and sell them for money, you can let them hatch eggs and become chicks and sell them for money, and you can let the chicks grow up and sell chickens for money. ”

Hamestu licked his lips and asked, "Mr. Yang, I wonder why you have to buy these civets, just to give them freedom?"

Yang Shubao said: "Madam, these musk cats live in a very painful way, and the balm you get comes from their perianal glands, and this gland is very sensitive, it will be very painful when touched, in fact, you have been torturing them." Maybe you don't believe it, but I can feel their pain, they are asking me for help, it is God's will, I want to deliver them. ”

Jill continued to speak for him: "He's not deceiving you, Hamestu, your cowardly civet just saw him and stretched out his paws to him, that's amazing, if I'm not a scientist, then I think it's God directing everything." ”

Yang Shubao likes this black fat man very much, but he still can't agree with the last sentence: You are a hammer scientist.
