Chapter 403: Saving the baby elephant
After beckoning the ranger behind him not to shoot, Bell was also curious about what the she-rhinoceros wanted to do, so he simply picked up the camera and filmed.
The rhinoceros walked to the side of the jeep, lowered his head twice, and the whole car began to shake violently, seeing the crowd in the vehicle behind him exclaimed, but Xia Wencai and the others in the car were still relatively calm, at least the rhinoceros didn't seem to be crazy, it should just be more curious about this iron lump that can run.
After circling around the vehicle and leaning on the vehicle twice, the rhinoceros seemed to have lost interest, or thought that he had defeated the monster and won, so he staggered away with the baby.
Looking at the large piece of paint that had been rubbed off the body and the small pits that came out of a few rhinoceros horns, Bell smiled bitterly: "It seems that I have to lose money again!" They rented the car
After a brief meal at noon, they found a herd of elephants, and the herd was clearly in trouble.
A herd of elephants are around a mud pit, the convoy approached and found that a baby elephant about one year old was stuck in the mud and could not get out, these elephants are trying to rescue, some are pushing the baby elephant with their noses, some digging a pit next to the baby elephant with their feet, trying to help it dig a good path out, but the sludge here is very soft, their efforts have little effect, the hooves of the baby elephant stuck in the mud are too deep, and they can't get out at all.
"Young elephants are still very safe when they have the protection of the herd, they will only be in danger if they are only in the situation now, although the elephant herd will not discard their members lightly, but if it is still ineffective after a long period of effort, they will leave, because they must continue to eat, otherwise the whole herd is in danger, and the baby elephants left behind will die of dehydration under the sun, or be found and eaten by predators." Bell then said that when the elephant herd crosses the river, it is also very dangerous for the baby elephants, and if the river is fast, they can easily be washed away even if they have the protection of their mothers.
Seeing that the elephant herd had no patience anymore, and the baby elephant had been chirping pitifully, Xia Wencai finally set off again.
It took him a few minutes to approach the herd again, and at first, a mother elephant with the longest tusks flapped her ears and shouted at him to warn him, but when Xia Wencai approached, they fell silent, and the onlookers were no longer surprised by this.
Xia Wencai walked to the elephant herd, first touched everyone's elephant legs and contacted them for a while, and then walked towards the baby elephant, a female elephant next to Xia Wencai saw Xia Wencai approaching the baby elephant after obviously a little nervous, uneasy kicked the ground a few times, it seems that it should be the mother of the baby elephant.
Xia Wencai soothed it, then stroked the baby elephant for a while, and after gaining their trust, he took off his boots, stepped into the mud pit and walked behind the baby elephant.
"What is he trying to do?"
"I guess I want to get the baby elephant out."
"Impossible, although this is a baby elephant, it looks like it is at least about 300 kilograms, where can people move, and there is no way to see an elephant."
Seeing Xia Wencai's movements, the crowd of onlookers all discussed.
Xia Wencai's next action confirmed their conjecture, he first walked around the baby elephant to observe the situation, then walked in front of the baby elephant and scraped the sludge with both hands, and after going around behind the baby elephant, he put his hands on its buttocks and began to exert force.
However, as soon as Xia Wencai exerted his strength, everyone exclaimed, because Xia Wencai fell into the mud pit with a plop, and when they saw Xia Wencai after getting up again, everyone covered their mouths and held back a smile, Lin Xiaowan also covered her forehead with her hand, very speechless.
"Bah, the mistake is too slippery, the foot is too slippery" Xia Wencai spit out a few mouthfuls of mud in his mouth, and then wiped his face and said depressedly, he is now a whole clay figure, now only showing his eyes, nose and two rows of white teeth, and the others are all black, which looks really funny.
Xia Wencai was ready this time, his feet were now firmly stepped on, a small pit was completely fixed, and he pushed the baby elephant again and began to exert himself, the elephant next to him was also very smart, and obviously saw Xia Wencai's intentions, and also came over and stretched out his nose, pulled and pushed, and began to help.
With everyone's efforts, the baby elephant finally moved forward with strength, just now it was stuck, now it is easier to move, with the help of everyone, with small steps, a slip and a slide finally slowly walked to the shore of the ground.
The elephants were visibly happy to see the baby elephant rescued, and they all stroked it with their noses, as if to express comfort.
Xia Wencai also collapsed on the grass after climbing ashore, he was tired just now, although there were elephants to help, but the main force was still him, pushing hundreds of catties of baby elephants to move, this is really an individual lĂŹ work.
He has seen such a situation in the animal world before, and he thinks that the elephant that has always been very smart will be stupid when it encounters this, and just use the nose to take the baby elephant out, and only then will he know that the baby elephant looks small, the weight is not light, and with the pulling force of the sludge, the baby elephant is heavier than on the flat ground, and it is really very troublesome to get it out, the elephant's usual rescue method is to help the baby elephant open the way in the sludge, and then some elephants use the trunk to help push and pull, if they fail, they have no way.
Xia Wencai was lying on the ground panting, suddenly felt that his face was wet, and turned his head to look, it turned out that the little elephant he rescued was stretching out his little nose to greet him, the life-saving benefactor, but his nose was obviously not skillful, and he was not very obedient when he shook it.
Xia Wencai knew that the elephant was the most intelligent and emotional animal here, so he also got up and touched the head of the baby elephant, which was about the height of his chest, and said hello to it.
After the baby elephant was rescued, the herd continued to set off, they no longer know how long they had been delayed here, their stomachs were already hungry, and the elephants were constantly eating except for a few days of rest and sleep throughout the day.
Grass roots, bark, leaves, fruits, all are their food, there are three baby elephants in this herd, the other two may look two or three years old, already following the plants, just rescued this obviously not weaned, although it also wants to learn the elephants to eat grass, but its little nose can't even catch the grass, it looks very clumsy and cute.
When they come to a bush, these elephants fully show the essence of the king of destruction, they prefer to eat the fresh leaves on the top of the tree, what if they can't reach it? Their methods are simple and rude, just push or infer the tree, and then slowly enjoy the food, seeing Xia Wencai and others in a cold sweat, it is too violent, just to eat some leaves.
After following the elephant herd for so long, Xia Wencai felt that something was wrong, and when he looked down, he found that he was covered in mud and had not been treated, and now the mud was slowly drying out, and it was itchy and uncomfortable to death.
Fortunately, now that the heavy rain has just passed, small pools can be found everywhere, Xia Wencai was lucky, he found a relatively large waterhole after walking for a few minutes, and after signaling Bell and others not to shoot himself, Xia Wencai was not ashamed, he took off his clothes and pants directly, and jumped in with only a pair of underwear.
As for the fact that there are many celebrities watching him not far away, it doesn't matter at all, isn't he wearing pants, and he is not naked, you must know that in their countryside before, in summer, most of the men in the village stood at the door of the house with buckets of water, or took a shower at the earthen dam, and they were used to being shy, but Lin Xiaowan obviously didn't think so, and she was already gritting her teeth in the car, and scolded this shameless thing in her heart.
