It was only when the pain reached the depths of my soul that I realized how good the sound insulation in Gu Laosan's study was.
A certain lazy boy squatted under a large bookshelf by the window, begging for mercy with tears streaming down his face, his throat almost breaking. But his grandma and Dahei, who were watching TV in the living room downstairs, didn't hear him.
"Why! Why did you hit me?"
Gu Laosan wiped the blood from his nose that flowed into his mouth, his lips trembling, and he shouted in a crying voice, his voice and tears filled with grievance and dissatisfaction.
It wasn't that the badger was so vicious. Grandma was still at home, so it wouldn't have disfigured Gu Laosan. In fact, the nosebleed was caused by him slipping on a book when he was trying to escape.
Begging for mercy and being convinced are two different things. The former is an appearance, while the latter is an attitude. For Gu Laosan, if a certain badger does not give him a reasonable explanation today, even if he is beaten to his knees and calls him daddy, he will still not be convinced in his heart.
Besides, I am discussing with Chen Bai about going to Kenya for live broadcast, which is serious business.
Gu Laosan felt that he had found his own way of live broadcasting, which was to go deep into places like this where poachers were present, show everyone the miserable conditions of animals attacked by poachers, and guide everyone to understand the significance of anti-poaching.
A salted fish felt that at the moment when he was confronting Chen Bai, his whole body was bursting with sparkles that could blind his dog eyes. However, before he could savor it, he was beaten up by a badger who broke into the room. The sparkles disappeared, and were replaced by golden stars circling around his head.
This beating was much more severe than any other time Gu Lao San had received. The badger had simply removed the handle of the broom from the corner of the second floor and carried it in. The iron handle was now bent.
The furry little shoulders rose and fell. Wang Ping saw that Gu Laosan's arms and legs were covered with bruises and looked worse than ever, but he still couldn't feel any relief.
"You still don't accept? You still feel wronged? I'm going to make you convinced today! If I don't beat you to your knees and sing the song of conquest, I will write my character king upside down!"
Looking down at the various sundries on the table that he had kicked off, Wang Ping ran to the side near the door and picked up the tablet that had fallen on a few magazines. He did not even need to type to search, but just stuck out his tongue to open the browser's scanning function and scanned his face. The first picture was a dynamic picture of someone beating a badger.
"Emm..."
Gu Laosan looked at the screen that the badger flipped over, and it took him less than two seconds to switch from an unconvinced to a guilty expression. Then he yelled, and while the badger was stunned, he dived into the desk, leaving only his butt exposed, and shouted, "Don't hit someone in the face! At worst, I'll let you hit me back!"
But after shouting and waiting for a long time, there was no movement from the badger outside.
"Hmph, don't try to trick me out! I won't be fooled!" Gu Xianyu thought to himself, but his eyes involuntarily looked out through the gap under the table.
I saw a furry little figure standing near the door, but it didn't move at all.
"Are you angry? I don't think so..."
Gu Laosan was a little nervous. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that this was indeed not a decent thing to do. A salted fish asked himself, if someone dared to upload the animated picture of him being beaten to the Internet, he would beat him so hard that his mother would not recognize him. In comparison, a badger obviously held back.
I quietly stepped out from under the table and stretched my neck to look at the badger, only to find that the badger was frowning and staring at the web page on the tablet.
After just a few glances at the pictures, Gu Laosan knew that it was the news he had read before about the poacher attack on the Ol Pejita Conservancy. Perhaps Wang Ping had not exited the web history, so he pressed the back button and returned to the previous page.
"Ahem..."
Someone cleared his throat carefully, and seeing that the badger didn't react violently, he continued, "Well, I was just about to discuss this with you. I plan to leave for Kenya in the next few days. If something like this happens, I have to go to the scene to see it. If you don't want to go, you can stay at home with your grandma..."
“Ouch!”
Before Gu Laosan could finish his words, a certain badger turned its head and bared its teeth, which frightened someone so much that he shivered and almost crawled back under the table.
But Wang Ping didn't do anything, instead he threw down the tablet, opened the door and ran out. Less than two minutes later, before Gu Lao San could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw this guy riding on the sleepy wolf Xiao Si and running back, and started to gesture at Gu Lao San.
Gu Lang had just picked up the tissue kicked away by Wang Ping from the corner and was just plugging his nostrils with two of them. Seeing the badger's action, his face twitched and he shook his head without thinking, "No! It can't follow us! We are here to help, not to cause trouble. Bringing a dog... What's wrong with a wolf! It's not as easy to talk to as you!"
When Wang Ping heard Gu Laosan's refusal, he was ready to touch the stick, but the last sentence of a certain salted fish made him stunned.
Indeed, the current state of Wolf Xiao Si is very much like a naughty child who has just entered the rebellious period. Even his grandmother sometimes can't control him. If he really goes to Kenya, he will go crazy and run around. It's not a big deal for him. He will cause trouble in the reserve.
"So... I finally trained it to be able to ride, but now I can only ride it at home?"
Wang Ping was a little melancholy, and patted a wolf's head angrily. This naughty kid, why is he so troublesome!
The decision of a salted fish to go to Africa again without even waiting for the fifth day of the Chinese New Year was opposed by the whole family, headed by the grandmother. After all, what happened in Opejita was too big, even the grandmother saw the report on the news, not to mention the father and mother.
Gu Ma even brought Wang An to dissuade someone, but to everyone's surprise, this time the salted fish was determined and gave Wang An a slap on the back of his head for the first time. Whether it was a black face or a red face, all of them used cold violence to resist, and even Gu Ma threatened to freeze his bank card.
So when Gu Lang received a call from Chen Bai, informing him that the CWCA rescue team agreed to take him along, the former was locked in his room.
At night, after grandma and Mr. and Mrs. Gu, who had come home specially to look after someone, had fallen asleep, the door of someone's small room on the second floor was opened a crack, and Wang Ping, carrying a small canvas backpack and wearing a hooded fleece denim jacket, slipped all the way to the door of someone's room.
After listening for a while and seeing that no one was paying attention, he crawled along the door frame to someone's door lock, took out the key he had stolen from his grandmother, and quietly opened the door.
The door lock made a sound, and before Wang Ping could move, it was pulled open. A certain salted fish, who was already wearing a down jacket and carrying a bag, leaned forward and looked towards the stairs, then looked at a certain badger and asked in a low voice, "Have you brought everything?"
The pair of night vision eyes shook up and down a few times, and Gu Laosan reached out and held the badger in his arms, holding his shoes in the other hand, and walked towards the stairs.
Dahei, who moved indoors in the winter, raised his head from a thick cushion in the living room. With night vision, he saw a plush figure squatting in someone's arms on the stairs, making a gesture to keep quiet, and then he lay back down, just staring with curiosity, watching Gu Laosan walk through the living room like a thief.
Not daring to touch the big iron gate in the yard, Gu Laosan directly climbed over the wall and went out, trembling as he put on his shoes on the road outside the yard. Then he picked up Wang Ping and ran towards the village entrance.
Along with someone's panting, a motor sound came from the road next to the supermarket at the entrance of the village. A Volkswagen Polo turned on its headlights and drove towards someone, stopping less than ten meters away.
The car door opened, and as the lady stepped out of the car in long boots, Wang Ping was surprised to see his sister getting out of the car, standing there with her arms folded, looking at someone with a half-smile.
"Or, should we go back and beg grandma?" A badger felt a toothache and subconsciously looked up at Gu Laosan.
