In Melbourne, Wang Ping, who was in a daze with his eyes wide open, was pushed in an airline box through a long corridor. Only then did he realize what Zhuo Bingyang's so-called gift was.
After all, he is an expert in coordination and reception all year round, and his work level is different from that of a salted fish. In the envelope given to Gu Lang before leaving, there was a certificate jointly issued by the CWCA and the Ol Pejita Conservation Area, as well as a "work permit" for a badger in Ol Pejita.
With this magical "letter of introduction" as proof, the badger was sent directly to the customs quarantine room as soon as he got off the plane. After going through the general process, he was sent out of the quarantine area. Gu Lang was waiting at the exit early in the morning.
This is a big surprise for Wang Ping. I just don't know if this material is timely and can be used everywhere. It would be great if I didn't have to "squat for a toilet" when I took a plane in the future.
Gu Xianyu, who looked a little tired after the long journey, carried the air box and returned to the airport lobby from another channel. Before he could go out, he heard a badger knocking in the box. He opened the lid and a mineral water bottle half filled with an unknown liquid was handed out.
"Ahem..."
Gu Laosan looked around quietly, whistling, and walked towards the trash can next to a row of seats as if nothing had happened. As he passed by, he threw the bottle in with lightning speed, then turned around and walked away quickly.
Opposite the terminal, across the road from the airport and across two green belts, is a car rental company called Hertz. Next to it is a hotel and a camping supplies store, which is very thoughtful. It also shows where most tourists go.
There are more than ten national forest parks covering an area of more than 300 kilometers around Melbourne. There is also an island park like French Island that combines high mountains and dense forests with beaches and waves. It is a great place for camping vacations.
However, this time, Gu Laosan or Wang An’s target was not in this area, but in the northwest, at the Grampians National Park, located among the mountains.
Of course, compared with other parks, the Grampians, which covers an area of nearly 2,000 square kilometers, is not like a park at all. It is more like a mountain range. It is especially famous for its natural waterfalls and rolling hills. There are countless cliffs with exposed rocks, so it is also a favorite place for many rock climbing enthusiasts.
Unlike some of the world's most famous rock climbing destinations, the Grampians are more modest, with thousands of different climbing routes spread across vast forests and mountains, some of which require hiking through muddy mountain trails.
Obviously, Wang An chose such a place to advertise because he was actually taking care of a newbie. Because many rock climbing routes were marked with spray paint by predecessors, and some were even equipped with ladders and iron rings, with complete protection measures. Gu Laosan could completely learn and train while broadcasting live.
After releasing the badger from the airline box, they went to a roadside dessert shop and bought two donuts, each of them ate one, and then stood on the roadside to call Wang An.
She set out earlier than Gu Laosan and had a shorter distance to travel, so she should have arrived long ago.
The phone rang twice, and then it was hung up. Someone was stunned for two seconds, then called again, and it was hung up again. At this time, a Subaru Forester drove in from another exit in the north and stopped in front of the man and the badger.
The car window rolled down, and Wang An, wearing a black leather jacket and arrogant sunglasses, opened his mouth and cursed: "Are you stupid? You know how expensive international long-distance calls are! You keep calling and calling, but you can't even send a text message!"
"So... you're still renting a car?" Gu Laosan opened his mouth, but couldn't quite wrap his head around it. Wang An's current appearance didn't look like he was reluctant to spend money.
"I said you're stupid, but you really don't use your brain! Renting a car costs 260 a day, how much does it cost to take a taxi?" Wang An slapped the steering wheel, glared at a salted fish and said, "Why don't you get in the car? Don't you want me to help you carry your luggage?"
"oh oh… "
Gu Laosan woke up as if from a dream. He first opened the back door to let Wang Ping get in, then he threw all the things on the luggage cart into the trunk, and then he trotted to the passenger seat and sat down. Wang An kept staring at the rearview mirror, and as soon as a certain salted fish closed the door, he stepped on the accelerator, and the Forester roared forward.
Someone was wearing a seat belt and his eyes kept glancing at Wang An unconsciously, from his eyes to his nose, then to his mouth, and when he was about to look down, Wang An suddenly turned his head and glared at him fiercely through his sunglasses.
"What the hell are you looking at? Have you never seen it before?" Wang An snorted and spoke out the real thoughts of a badger sitting in the back row who was sharpening his claws.
"Hehe..." A salted fish laughed proudly and asked for conversation: "How long have you been here? Is everything okay at home? Does grandma miss me?"
Wang An rolled his eyes, feeling helpless about such a misunderstood question, but he still nodded and said, "Oh, your family is very nice! Your grandma said she will give you a good beating when you get back!"
Gu Laosan seemed not to have heard the stressed "you" in Wang An's mouth, and asked as if he remembered something, "By the way, where's Qiqi? Didn't I ask you to bring it over?"
It was Wang Ping's idea to bring Wolf Xiaosi to Australia.
After all, it was inconvenient in the Sweetwater Reserve before, but when they got to the Grampians, they had to find a suitable rock climbing route, and they might have to walk in the wild for a long time. Wang Ping didn't want to walk with his short legs, so bringing a mount was the minimum configuration.
But speaking of Wolf Xiao Si, Wang An suddenly reacted. He looked at the badger with a dark face in the rearview mirror with surprise, frowned and asked: "How did you bring this guy out? Doesn't he need quarantine?"
"How can you talk like that, you silly girl? Damn it, this guy, I'm your brother!" Wang Ping stood up and bared his teeth, but in the end he couldn't even see the back of the other person's head.
"Oh, yeah, I forgot about that!"
As if to show off, Gu Laosan told the story of a badger who used his identity as a "working badger" to cut in line, which made Wang An curl his lips.
"Humph, we have to wait for Qiqi to come out in Melbourne anyway, you might as well let him go into quarantine with us! We can also stroll around Melbourne, it's so troublesome to bring a badger with us!"
Hearing someone's seemingly coquettish complaint, Wang Ping got angry before Gu Laosan even said anything.
“Ouch!”
Not daring to provoke his own sister, the badger slapped the passenger seat with one claw, his furry face full of dissatisfaction.
"I'm going to the quarantine area to take a solitary confinement, and you two are going to go around Melbourne? Don't even think about it! As long as I breathe, you two will never succeed!"
Wang An squinted at a salted fish through his sunglasses, with an expression of "What did I say?", and shouted at a badger: "Behave yourself! Otherwise, I'll throw you down!"
If someone dared to curse a certain badger in front of him in the past, Gu Xianyu would have rolled up his sleeves to vent his anger for the boss. But now, the anchor was stunned with a look of regret.
Yes! For a week, without my mother messing around and without the badger being a burden, the two of us could enjoy our world together freely. What a great opportunity! Why did I rush to the customs to handle the formalities after getting off the plane? If it weren’t for the badger…
In front of Gu Laosan's eyes, it seemed as if he and Wang An appeared hand in hand, running through the waterfront district with smiles on their faces, taking selfies next to a graffiti-covered wall, and going to church to pray together. His face became somewhat intoxicated, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
“Bang!”
He was suddenly slapped on the back of his head, interrupting the romantic background music in his mind. Gu Lang turned his head and saw a badger clinging to the back of the seat, with its head almost reaching his face. Its furry face was so dark that ink could drip out of it.
"What are you thinking about? You're smiling so obscenely!"
