Chapter 13: The Wolf and the Fox

Peng Qing is an old keeper of the zoo, after graduating from secondary school, he worked in the zoo, he worked for half his life, he was diligent and hardworking, and had a good reputation in the park.

"Master Peng, morning." Su Ming rushed to the warehouse and said hello to a middle-aged man with an honest face.

Master Peng had already put on his work clothes and was pushing a cart out of the warehouse, when he saw Su Ming, he smiled and said, "Morning, you go to change your clothes first, and then we will carry the things into the car and go together." ”

"Okay, right away." Su Ming scratched his head, Master Peng didn't say anything, but he himself was a little embarrassed, how could he let the master wait for the apprentice on the first day of work.

Su Ming walked into the staff room on the edge of the warehouse, took a blue gown from the wall and put it on, changed into a pair of rubber shoes, took a pair of leather gloves and stuffed them into his pockets, and pushed a small car out in style, fully equipped.

Then, under the guidance of Master Peng, the two went to the warehouse to choose food for the animals, mainly meat, and also matched some fruits and coarse grains, and the two small carts were filled with ten baskets.

"I'm going to have to eat a lot of money this day."

This meal alone is probably thousands, and the zoo doesn't feed more than once a day, not only Master Peng and Su Ming, the two breeders.

This also shows why it is difficult to run a zoo and the expenses are too large. There are several large parks in Yangchuan City, but the zoo is the only one, and other cities are similar, just giving the animals food and drink every day, it is a heavy burden, relying on that idea of ticket income is simply not enough to make ends meet, it is a heavy financial burden for the government, and the zoo has many national protected animals, in case of death, you have to bear the responsibility.

It is also a public welfare unit, and ordinary parks are much better, as long as they make a one-time investment, the follow-up expenditure is very small, and the local performance is not much different from that of zoos.

"This little thing can barely keep the animals from starving, and the funds are not enough." Master Peng shook his head with a wry smile, pushed the cart to lead the way in front, and said, "Let's go to the wolf house first." ”

The wolf house is a semi-enclosed large cage, two layers of enclosed barbed wire fence enclosed a space of more than 50 square meters, divided into two parts, the front part is the wolf's activity area, visitors can see the wolf through the barbed wire fence through the fence more than half a person, and the back half is the wolf's place to sleep and rest', surrounded by a wall.

There was a large iron sign hanging outside the wolf house with an introduction written on it.

"Mongolian wolf, also known as steppe wolf, canine, one of the subspecies of gray wolf, national second-class protected animals. Alert and suspicious, similar in appearance to dogs, quite intelligent, can communicate with peers through guò smells and barks. ”

In the process of paleontological evolution, the three most perfectly evolved top animals among carnivores, the titan bird, the saber-toothed tiger, and the wolf, to this day, the titan bird and the saber-toothed tiger have all become extinct, and only the wolf remains.

In the wolf house, a larger wolf was drinking by the sink, although his head was bowed, his four legs were standing straight, and his ears were high and upright forward, which was very majestic.

There were also two wolves standing not far from the trough, but they were not as fierce as the drinking wolves, their furry tails curled up slightly, and they shook twice from time to time, which was quite flattering.

If it weren't for the zoo, Su Ming would have thought he had seen two huskies.

There were also a few wolves, lying in the grass nest behind.

"The one who drinks the water is a wolf." Master Peng explained with a smile, then took out the key and opened a small iron window on the edge of the food trough on the cage.

Smelling the smell of the living, the head wolf raised his head vigilantly, his long ears suddenly lay back on the top of his head, tightly pressed against the back of his head, his back hair exploded, his lips wrinkled to reveal two rows of sharp fangs, and he arched his back and roared at Su Ming.

Obviously, Master Peng was closer to the head wolf, but the head wolf just roared at Su Ming and turned a blind eye to Master Peng.

Master Pang explained, "Wolves are as smart as dogs and know that we are here to feed them. But you're new here, they don't know you, it's good to be around for a long time......"

Before he could finish speaking, the wolf suddenly stopped growling, slowly lay on the spot, split his lips, and easily pulled his ears to the sides, stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, and yawned.

The other wolves were no longer hostile to Su Ming, and one wolf even rolled in place, revealing its belly.

"How?" Master Peng was stunned for a moment, stopped feeding, looked at the wolf, and then looked back at Su Ming with a puzzled expression.

The wolf's ears are indicative of its attitude, being pressed backwards indicates that it is threatened and ready to attack, and separating it towards the sides indicates that it is in a relaxed state.

As for showing the belly, it means extreme trust, and even a bit of coquettishness. Because the belly is the most vulnerable part of most animals that needs to be protected.

At this time, the head wolf had obviously restrained his hostility towards Su Ming, and the thin rolling wolf showed rare kindness to Su Ming.

This is not uncommon for dogs to occur, but wolves are different, and theoretically only when playing with their own kind will their belly be exposed.

Master Peng has fed the wolves for so many years, and these wolves have seen him come at most, not showing hostility, far from intimacy, and as for showing their belly, it is something they have never thought of.

Su Ming smiled and shook a piece of beef in his hand: "I'm here to feed them, of course they want to please me." ”

"The director said that you are very good at dealing with animals, and it seems that this is really the case." Master Peng laughed as he threw the beef into the wolf house.

This is certainly the reason for Animal Friends.

Because the spiritual power of Animal Friends is the simplest and most direct way, and it is also the most trusted way for animals, the effect is even more than the relationship established between Master Peng and the wolf after a long period of feeding.

After all, the wolf's behavior towards Master Peng is just a guess based on habit, and for wolves who are suspicious by nature, this kind of guess cannot completely dispel their doubts and concerns, but Su Ming can achieve or even exceed the effect of 'same kind communication' with his mental power.

Wolves are not stupid, especially the wolves in the zoo, which are tainted with some of the 'philistine cunning' of humans. Now that he understands that Su Ming is here to bring them food, it is understandable to make some flattering gestures that are very unwolf-like.

The head wolf still wants to save face, and his attitude towards Su Ming has changed from hostile to lukewarm, ignoring and maintaining the dignity of the leader; And the remaining wolves, especially the thinnest one, turned their bellies directly, looked flattering, and fell to the ground.

However, it was almost impossible for Su Ming to control these wolves, especially that wolf.

Su Ming helped Master Peng feed together, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen catties of meat entered the wolf's belly.

A few wolves still looked unsatisfied, besieging the city, and under the leadership of the head wolf, they stared at Su Ming coldly together, with a cold expression that you don't believe it or not.

"Damn, it's really a white-eyed wolf......" Su Ming rolled his eyes.

Getting along with animals is sometimes the same as getting along with people. Everyone has a different personality, and warm people can get acquainted quickly, and people who are withdrawn and indifferent by nature need a long time to become friends.

In the words of human dating, some animals are easy to get along with, like monkeys, and some animals are not so easy to get along with, like wolves, and that damn snapping turtle!

With Animal Friends, Su Ming can theoretically become a 'friend' with any animal, or even become the owner of the animal, as long as his mental power is strong enough.

"Let's take it slowly, as the so-called road knows the horsepower, and I will see the wolf's heart for a long time......"

Thinking of this, Su Ming was about to throw a few pieces of meat down, but Master Peng stopped it, scooped a small half pot of rotten strawberries in a small pot, and sprinkled them into the wolf house.

"Wolves still eat strawberries?" Su Mingqi said.

"Wolves eat meat most of the time, but they also need to eat fruit, which can regulate their appetite and replenish nutrition."

Su Ming opened his eyes, the wolves came up and sniffed the strawberries, and they actually ate them with relish, the juice from the bite of the strawberries splashed everywhere, and after the wolves finished eating, they also stretched out their tongues and licked the strawberry juice in their mouths.

Standing outside the cage, this is simply a bunch of nervous huskies.

After feeding the wolf, Su Ming followed Master Peng to the Red Fox District next to him.

The red fox is commonly referred to as the 'fox', with large, round eyes, a large fluffy tail that maintains a balance, and a flaming red fur that has become a little messy and dull due to the zoo's poor nutrition.

The red fox is also a national second-class protected animal, but unlike wolves, this cute-looking little guy is a typical solitary idea, and hardly gets together with his own kind.

Through the exchange of spiritual power, Su Ming found that the red fox was even more difficult to deal with than the wolf.

The wolf is like a cold and arrogant swordsman, although it is difficult to approach, but once it is recognized, it can intersect with life and death.

But the red fox is like a cunning and changeable little woman, and has a generalized anxiety disorder, full of doubts and uncertainties about the qiē around her.

That's where the word fox comes from.

This little woman is also a little ruthless. Master Peng told Su Ming that the red fox likes to 'kill'. It doesn't matter if it eats it or not, it kills all living creatures.

Like all little women, the red fox especially likes to eat snacks such as fruits and 'birds', Su Ming threw an apple in, and the red fox picked up the apple with two little paws at once, hid in a dark corner, and squeaked and gnawed, raised his head from time to time, and looked at Su Ming vigilantly from a distance.

……

I walked almost all morning, fed more than a dozen animals, leopards, wild boars or something, and walked around the bird area, and fed a few pieces of meat to the two Hai Dongqing.

Su Ming used his mental power to test each animal, which can be regarded as 'making a friend and getting to know each other', and the personalities of each animal are different, even among the same kind, they are not the same.

After feeding the animals, Su Ming and Master Peng sent the cart back to the warehouse together, the two changed their clothes, Master Peng patted Su Ming on the shoulder, smiled and said: "I live in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, where the place is big, I planted some cabbage and cucumbers or something, if you don't usually have time to buy vegetables, go to my place to pick some and eat fresh." ”

"Thank you, master." Su Ming nodded and smiled.

After a busy morning, his mental strength also improved slightly, Su Ming hurried back to listen to Feng Shui, and he didn't know what happened to the injury of the big-headed catfish.

This guy is Su Ming's neighbor, if he can, of course Su Ming hopes that he can live well.

When I returned to listen to the feng shui pavilion, before I entered the door, I heard the movement of Suo Suo in the room!

"It can't be a thief, right? Or did you enter the king fat man? ”
