Chapter 64: The Reporter Arrives
No one expected that this group of people from the World Animal Protection Association was so unlucky, and the heavy rain began to fall at about three o'clock in the morning, and the entire grassland was shrouded in rain.
In the morning, the rain had no intention of stopping, and there was a tendency to get heavier and heavier, according to the black laborers, the rain could take a while, and all the tourists could only stay in their rooms and stand on the observation deck to watch the African savannah in the rain.
"Uncle, it's raining so hard outside, should we let Simba and the baby elephant come in to hide from the rain?"
The three little dolls looked at Xu Wenjie, with a pleading gaze, Xu Wenjie was a little depressed, and looked at the people around him, these guys completely ignored his pleas.
"It's not that my uncle won't let them in to hide from the rain, those animals can only survive on the savannah after experiencing this heavy rain. Otherwise, they will die on the grassland. โ
"Uncle liared, Simba won't die, Simba is very powerful."
Xu Wenjie watched Landry run over from the corridor, and hurriedly shouted, "Landry hurry up and explain to your daughter why Simba doesn't have to hide from the rain." And the two of you, don't pretend you don't see it, I'll go outside and take a look, and you tell them what's going on. โ
Knowing that staying here would usher in various problems of the three little dolls, Xu Wenjie resolutely left.
Seeing Xu Wenjie run away, Landry and Tom and Orlando, who had just come in, looked at each other and laughed. They don't know what's going on, as long as the three children see Xu Wenjie, they will abandon them.
Xu Wenjie ran to the top of the castle tower and looked at the grassland in the distance, because the rain was too heavy, it was a little blurry. However, it can be seen that the lions have taken refuge in the woods, and the elephants do not care about the rain at all, and they are having a good time there.
It's just that Mickey Mouse guy is going to be unlucky, this kind of heavy rain, there must be a lot of problems in the tunnels dug by its rat troops. However, the queen bee sent him news that the killer bee had lost some.
It's quiet on the tourists' side, and most of them gather together, chatting, and watching the rain outside. Some people took advantage of this opportunity and made a lot of new friends.
What is certain is that these people will have something to gain when they come here to travel. You know, at this time, how big are the executives of some companies or entrepreneurs who have time to travel.
The water level of the river in front of the castle has risen a little, and the current has increased considerably.
October is the second rainy season here, and Xu Wenjie thinks it's best to seize this time to build a grassland reservoir.
Towards noon, the rain suddenly stopped, the sky cleared, and the scorching sun was in the sky, which made some people a little uncomfortable. People who are accustomed to seeing drizzles are somewhat confused when they suddenly see this strange rainy day.
This is the strange weather in Africa, unlike the gentle drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River, like a tender woman. The rain in Africa is more like a rugged man, who comes and goes, and never drags on.
After the rain passed, the ground was still damp, but those tourists obviously didn't want to wait for the sun to dry the rain, and then ran out to play, so they hurriedly ran out one by one.
Because it had just rained, it was impossible to drive in the grassland, so visitors had to walk around the grassland in front of the castle.
Xu Wenjie walked out of the castle and saw that there was no problem with the elephants, they were all lazily staying by the river, and he walked in the direction of the lions.
When he came out, Mickey Mouse had already gone through its underground passage to the grassland to check on the damage caused by the heavy rain.
The lion obviously hates rainy days, and the hair on each of his body is wet by the rain, which is a little uncomfortable, and he is lying on his stomach in a sunny place.
The little lions were running around in the grass, completely like chickens in soup. When some little guys see insects running out of the grass after the rain, they will be curious to go up and pounce with their paws, which looks a little cute.
A group of tourists saw the scene, took a camera and filmed it from a distance, and did not disturb the lions.
When Xu Wenjie found Simba, this guy was staying under a big tree, a little listless, it seemed that he was drenched in rain, and the hair on his body was wrapped around his body.
"Don't!"
It's a pity that it's too late, Xu Wenjie forgot about this stubble, after these guys are wet, they like to shake and shake off the water on their bodies.
As a result, Xu Wenjie walked to Simba's side, and this guy stood up and began to shake the water.
"Okay, you keep shaking, I'll go back and change my clothes first."
Simba gave an innocent look, it had done it before, who knew it would happen.
After changing his clothes and coming out of the castle, Simba was lying on the grass basking in the sun, Xu Wenjie did not get too close to it, but was with the tourists and told it some things in advance.
When it rained, the uncle had already received a call, and this time in addition to the people from the World Animal Protection Association, some reporters would come. In this case, Xu Wenjie is not ready to let Simba behave too magically.
As for the war elephant, he doesn't need to explain it, because the war elephant is too big and doesn't have the same ability to express itself as Simba, and many times even if it can understand what others say, it won't do it.
The rain made the roads in the grassland a little muddy, so the reporters and the World Animal Protection Society were sent by the Kenyan military after the rain stopped for two hours.
When these guys got out of the car, they were attracted by the interaction between tourists and lions, and when they really saw the harmony between humans and lions, they would understand that the animals here are more exaggerated than in the video.
Several people from the World Animal Protection Society were staring intently at the animals, and Thomson, who brought them here, was also shocked by the lions here.
They have rescued countless animals on the African savannah, and they have never seen a wild lion that level of relationship with humans.
Maybe if you grow up with a lion, the lion won't attack you. However, if the lion encounters a stranger, it will still attack, and this cannot be changed.
But these tourists who come to see the lions cannot live with the lions for a long time, which means that it is true that these lions do not attack people. It is impossible for a lion in a zoo to do this.
He was now more curious about that Mr. Xu Wenjie, what method did he use to make these wild lions not attack humans, perhaps, it was indeed a good idea to cooperate with him.
The moment they saw Xu Wenjie appear, those reporters who were still concerned about animals directly turned their cameras and ran towards Xu Wenjie, and then surrounded Xu Wenjie in the middle.
The four movie stars standing not far from Xu Wenjie were directly ignored by these reporters. This situation made the four of them cry and laugh a little, because they heard Xu Wenjie say that a reporter was going to interview them, so they came with them.
"Orlando, it seems that our reputation is not as good as this animal breeder now!"
"It's definitely not as good as, believe it or not, put Simba's photo and your photo on the Internet for selection, there must be more people who like Simba than you like you."
Kate didn't wait for Tom to speak, and said, "I agree with this, if I let me vote, I promise to vote for Simba." Suri, would you choose your dad or Simba? โ
"Simba."
Without thinking about it at all, Suri chooses Simba, much to Tom's detriment. However, he felt that the final result might really be his fiasco.
In the past few days, they have seen all the news reporting on this amazing lion. Simba's fan group has appeared on the Internet, and many children who are five or six years old are members of this fan group.
The kids don't know who Tom is, but if you ask him who Simba is, they'll be sure to answer.
"By the way, Tom, are you really going to make a movie about lions?"
"Yes, the script has already been written, why do you want to be involved too?"
Orlando said with a smile: "I think, everyone who knows, wants to participate, but is there a role we can play?" โ
"Yes, the two of us also want to participate, I believe that after this movie is made, it will be very popular."
"Don't worry, this time the protagonist is Simba, and everyone else is a supporting role. When the script comes out, I'll let you take a look at it first, and if you want to act, it's best to negotiate with your agency. โ
Just as they were chatting about the movie, Xu Wenjie, who was a little overwhelmed, finally shifted the reporter's attention to the four of them.
Seeing all the reporters move their positions, Xu Wenjie breathed a sigh of relief, he was too tired to face these people, and he didn't know how those stars could stand it. Finding that the people from the World Animal Protection Society were still waiting there, he hurried over.
"Welcome to the Prairie, those reporters are so annoying, hello Thomson."
"Hello, this meeting, I hope we can have a good cooperation, this is Vice President Miro Harrison from the European headquarters, these are animal experts from the headquarters."
"Hello, Mr. Miro."
"Hello. I'm very curious about the situation here, I'm a little unconvinced, everything I've seen is true, can you explain to me how you managed to make peace with humans? โ
The person in charge from Europe, who seems to be a quick talker, asks such a direct topic as soon as he comes up.
"Mr. Mirรณ, I don't think I need to tell you about this, but when you start filming the promotional video, you will understand why these lions can live in peace with humans."
"Well, I'm probably too curious to know what's going on, and hopefully I'll find out for myself when I'm shooting the promo, and that's going to be a huge discovery for us."
Xu Wenjie knew what he was thinking, but unfortunately, his idea was impossible to realize, everything here could not be replicated, and the relationship between animals and humans could not be achieved elsewhere.
However, he will not say this matter, because if he says it, it will cause him unnecessary trouble. Next, it's up to Simba's performance, and this time maybe everyone will turn their attention from him to the animal.
ps: I'm about to go to the battlefield, everyone bless me! It just so happens that people are getting married, and I am still a waiter, and people eat, and I serve them, and I am depressed.
