Those Years I Opened a Zoo

Chapter 175: Set a small goal first

Views:

A human, and a three-legged golden crow, teaching Adélie penguins sex education together, is no one else.

With Lu Ya's assistance, Duan Jiaze taught a few rogue Adélie penguins a lesson, using vivid video materials to explain what normal pursuit is like.

The Adélie penguins still don't quite understand. They said, why can't they have male penguins? The emperor penguins next door also court the same sex.

"Ask yourselves, do you pursue people because you like people of the same sex? It's not quite accurate to use pursuit, it's obviously playing hooligans!" Duan Jiaze said, "What I want to say is that no matter whether you are of the same sex or opposite sex, you can't be hooligans."

That kind of situation is not encountered in the zoo. Duan Jiaze emphasized the distinction of gender, the prohibition of rape and the killing of cubs. As for how to tell whether the penguin is dead or alive to avoid molesting the corpse, there is no need to teach it.

These Adélie penguins who received their education for a long time were twisting and turning, and their eyes were rolling. Gaga said: "The pursuit is a bit unclear, and the video is not very intuitive. Can you demonstrate it?"

Duan Jiaze picked up an Adelie penguin and shook it several times. When it was put down, the penguin became dizzy and couldn't stand up after sitting on the ground for a long time. "I'll demonstrate how to char-grill an Adelie penguin, believe it or not?"

Lu Ya said: "I said earlier, what class to take, just threaten it directly." What about the cause and effect, reason and reason, it is simply troublesome, and it seems weird.

Duan Jiaze: "..."

He is a little depressed. If it is to observe other animals eating, drinking, and mating, there are so many zoos and breeders like him, but there is probably no one else who gives sex education classes to penguins...

But no matter what, Duan Jiaze's correction is effective. It may also be that the Adelie penguins dare not be naughty anymore after seeing Lu Ya. In short, they all obediently pursued their partners and did not gather together anymore. Play hooligans together.

The breeders were very relieved and discussed which pair of normal penguins influenced them. Some breeders even thought that they had imitated the voice of emperor penguins before. Normal.

— Just kidding, the miracle is the penguin that can scare the seals. They probably have never seen such a big penguin in several lifetimes.

Huanhuan, the old lion at the zoo, has not eaten for a while and has been getting less and less. However, he does not appear to be in pain. On the contrary, Lele is very disturbed. Sometimes he stands up and growls against the door.

The veterinarians checked Huanhuan's body and found that the average lifespan of a lion is 20 to 25 years. Huanhuan originally lived in the city zoo, but because she was too old, she was sent to Lingyuan by the city zoo.

Here it passed a few more years, and is now twenty-five years old. Under the nourishment of the aura of food in the zoo, its body once recovered a lot. But in the end, there is still a law that cannot be defied, and gradually gets older.

Its teeth were not very good in the early years because of the unprofessional city zoo at that time. Now the food it feeds is specially ground to help digestion, but the amount of food it eats is still decreasing.

Duan Jiaze saw Huanhuan in the veterinary room. He was lying on the hospital bed, his abdomen was slightly undulating, and the fur on his body was darker and looser than when he was in his prime.

Huanhuan moved her head and saw Duan Jiaze, and it let out a low growl from its throat.

Huanhuan's keeper was squatting on the side, with an expression on his face, he was a young man, only 23 years old this year, younger than Huanhuan, "Director, how is Huanhuan..."

In fact, as a breeder, he should be aware of Huanhuan's situation in his heart, but he is not willing to believe it.

Huanhuan has reached the end of his life. It is very difficult for lions in the wild to live to this age. They died in battle, died of disease, and starved to death because they could not catch their prey.

Duan Jiaze didn't say anything, he looked at the inspection report from the veterinarian. Huanhuan has no injuries. It is true that its teeth have affected its eating, but the more important reason is that its internal organs are aging.

Huanhuan seemed to feel it too, because her limbs were tied to the hospital bed because of the blood draw, but she stretched her neck vigorously to see her keeper.

The breeder and Duan Jiaze looked at each other for a few seconds, Duan Jiaze looked away, "I'll call the city zoo."

The keeper bit his lip, trying to hold back the tears, but his cheeks were still wet.

It has been more than 20 years since Huanhuan came to Donghai City Zoo at the age of two, and later moved to Lingyuan Zoo. It is a childhood memory of many Donghai people.

When it first came to Lingyuan, it once caused a trend of reminiscing about childhood. At that time, people felt that Huanhuan was going to die. At that time, it was just caused by a long-standing problem, but now it is really too old.

Duan Jiaze politely notified the city zoo, and Huanhuan's old keeper, Xiao Xu, rushed over, and Huanhuan didn't send her back to the cage, and stayed in the veterinary room.

After Xiao Xu came in, he approached Huanhuan cautiously. Huanhuan still remembered him, with gentle eyes. Xiao Xu rubbed its cheek, and it slowly opened its mouth, stretched out its tongue and licked Xiao Xu's palm.

Xiao Xu's tears fell all of a sudden, "Director Duan, is there really no way to treat him anymore?"

Duan Jiaze shook his head, he was also very uncomfortable, if Huanhuan was due to internal diseases, such as tumors, etc., no matter how large the lesion was, it could be cured, but this kind of aging cannot be violated.

It was impossible for Duan Jiaze to keep every animal forever, even with Lu Ya's help. Perhaps if Huanhuan had lived in the spiritual realm since childhood, it would have lived longer, and it was unknown if he would even have enlightened spiritual wisdom and become the lucky one to embark on the path of spiritual practice. It's a pity that it has entered old age when it comes.

He still remembered that when Huanhuan was picked up, Lingyuan was still very small and there were not many animals, especially large ones. He was very happy.

At this time, Lele's breeder also called, saying that Lele had never seen Aunt Huanhuan come back and was very anxious.

Duan Jiaze thought for a while, and said, "Send Huanhuan to the free-range area, and let Lele go and accompany it."

The others glanced at each other. The weather in Donghai City is very good. In the last few days, it might be better for Huanhuan to go there instead of the cold veterinary room. Since it was born, it has been in a big cage and a small cage.

They sent both Huanhuan and Lele to a safe area next to the lion's activity area in the free-range area. There are no animals here, and it is far away from the swimming trail.

Huanhuan was lying on a rock that was very warm in the sun, and Lele was licking it.

The boss of the spirit lion group is Lele's son, and Dabao and Xiaobao watch them curiously through the barbed wire. They have no concept of their father, what they are curious about is the old lioness who is dying. They hadn't seen a death of their kind in their short lives, but instinct told them what was about to happen.

Truth Listening is also here, its snow-white hair is particularly eye-catching, it has lived in the underworld for a long time, and now it is also aware of the disappearance of life.

Duan Jiaze asked Di Ting to come in, Lele was a little wary at first, but soon it lay back.

Whenever Huanhuan fell asleep, Lele circled around it, resting her head on its stomach from time to time, for fear that Huanhuan would leave suddenly.

The Lingyuan Zoo did not announce Huanhuan's news to the public, but Huanhuan has never appeared in the exhibition hall, and tourists are asking if he is sick. After learning about Huanhuan's situation, many old tourists spontaneously came to the zoo to watch Huanhuan from afar.

In the area where Huanhuan is located, they can only see a little figure from a distance, but they don't want to disturb Huanhuan.

Finally, one night, Di Ting knocked on Duan Jiaze's door, and he followed Di Ting to the free-range area. Lele was desperately licking Huan Huan's head, but Huan Huan's eyes were still getting more and more lax.

A distance away, the lions on the other side of the barbed wire also gathered nearby, silently watching the scene.

Duan Jiaze used all of today's healing techniques on Huanhuan, which couldn't stop him from leaving, but it could make him feel better.

Huanhuan didn't have the strength to lick Lele anymore. It glanced at Lele and then at Duan Jiaze. Its eyes reflected the starry sky, and then slowly and permanently closed its eyes.

If the lions noticed something, Dabao and Xiaobao led the lions to wander for a while before leaving.

Lele is still using Huanhuan on her head, hoping to wake it up.

Di Ting changed back to its true prototype, a white divine beast, with a movement of its throat, read scriptures from its mouth to save the souls of the dead.

Lu Ya didn't know when he came. He pressed Duan Jiaze's shoulder, and this time he didn't say anything crazy, but said: "The Great God Pan Gu opened up the world, transformed into all things, and later spawned all walks of life. Under the Great Dao, there is no living thing." There is no death, just gathering and parting."

Duan Jiaze sat on the ground and listened to the chanting of the scriptures. By the time the chanting was over, the sky had turned white. Duan Jiaze let out a breath, touched Lele and walked out.

Not long after, the breeder came over on time and saw Duan Jiaze standing here with his pockets in his pocket, followed by Brother Lu. He was a little frightened. He didn't know why the two of them came so early. Before he could speak, Duan Jiaze said, "Huanhuan has passed away. .”

"My God... I came to see it at twelve o'clock last night." The breeder suddenly had no time to think about other things, uncomfortable and shocked, especially when he saw that Lele was still staying by Huanhuan's side, circling around Huanhuan .

"Go and inform everyone." Duan Jiaze turned and left.

The news of Huanhuan's death should not only inform the employees, but also contact the forestry department.

As soon as Duan Jiaze left the free-range area, he saw someone running out of the Polar Pavilion. After seeing Duan Jiaze, he waved his hand happily, with dark blue eyes from staying up late, "Director, the Adelie penguin just gave birth. They are all live eggs, and there has been no abandonment for the time being."

Looking at the staff who stayed up late to give birth, Duan Jiaze smiled gratifiedly, "Really?"

The news of Huanhuan's departure was posted on the official blog, and the city zoo also posted many old photos of Huanhuan, mourning her departure. Lele was unwilling to let people take away Huanhuan. With Lele's IQ, she knew that Huanhuan was dead, but she still couldn't accept it.

Duan Jiaze comforted Lele and let Huanhuan go to the ground to rest in peace. Di Ting has already given it over, and I believe it is very peaceful now.

Huanhuan's death has been reported to the forestry department, and Lingyuan also buried Huanhuan. There is a concrete pit in the spirit cage, which is the tomb of the animals. After the animals die, they are buried in it without affecting the surrounding environment.

However, this cemetery in Lingyuan has rarely been used since its opening.

After Huanhuan was buried, the cemetery was also open for a day, and citizens could come to mourn. There is Huanhuan's brand name next to it. After a day, it is almost buried by blossoming flowers.

Duan Jiaze sent Huanhuan off for the last time, making sure that it was not in any pain at the time, and then Di Ting gave it relief, which made Duan Jiaze not so sad, and he also adjusted his mentality.

The lifespan of many animals is no longer than that of humans. In the future, he will see more birth, old age, sickness and death, but he hopes that they will be happy when they are alive.

Some time after Huanhuan's death, people eased their sorrow because of the Adélie penguin laying eggs, and a new life will be born soon. After a while, Duan Jiaze also heard another piece of good news.

The cultivation of miracles has made great progress. Teacher Bai Suzhen said that miracles are very talented. Of course, this kind of talent is probably inseparable from its experience in the egg. It has been nurtured by the three-legged Golden Crow for a long time.

After Duan Jiaze heard about it, he took the miracle to his room, "Let me see, how have you improved?"

Miracle sat down on the ground, his stocky body was like a hill, first he showed off his cultivation experience.

Lu Ya stood aside with his hands behind his back, not knowing why every hair was full of pride, probably thinking of his own excellent inheritance.

Duan Jiaze waved his hand: "Stop talking about things you don't understand!"

Miracle:"… … "

Lu Ya said: "What your son just said is equivalent to a primary school curriculum!"

And he said don't talk about those who don't understand, Duan Jiaze glanced at Lu Ya, and said with disdain: "Equivalent? Will you be able to do chicken and rabbit in the same cage for your debut?"

Lu Ya: "..."

What is equivalent, the two are simply incomparable, neither is a thing of the same world.

Miracle looked at Duan Jiaze innocently, but it didn't say anything, Lu Ya was using it as a gun.

Duan Jiaze said, "Come on, my son will perform."

Miracle nodded his head and quickly charged up, his chubby body could be seen to be extremely tense, and his belly was even bigger, as if he was full of breath.

It lacks the naturalness of lifting weights lightly, but it is also very good for the "primary school student" Miracle. Lu Ya comforted Miracle by the side, "Don't worry, take your time, the fire is in our body, as long as it is released naturally..."

"Damn it, what you taught is fire breathing?" Duan Jiaze thought it was something like flying into the air, and he was ready for a miracle if he failed - don't think about it, it can crush him to death.

Duan Jiaze hurriedly turned out the pressed fleece quilt, and whenever Miracle burst into flames, he would use this quilt to put out the fire.

After taking the posture, Duan Jiaze found that the miracle couldn't come out for a while, and he was still accumulating energy, so he said to Lu Ya who encouraged the miracle, "Stop talking."

Lu Ya: "?"

Duan Jiaze whispered: "You have fire in your body! Have you forgotten that it is an emperor penguin? It only has fish and shrimp in its body."

Lu Ya: "..."

Spitting fire belongs to Lu Ya's instinct, and it is the most advanced kind of fire. Unlike Shancai, he is still born with a fire body, and the true fire of samadhi also needs to be cultivated to come out. In his opinion, this is as natural as breathing in and out. According to his thinking, it is impossible to succeed at Miracle's current level.

The miracle is that emperor penguins, swimming birds, have absorbed the aura of the three-legged golden crow, and their physique is close to the fire element, but there is no fire in their bodies.

The two continued to wait for the miracle, and the miracle was stored for about half an hour. His throat moved, and Lu Ya whispered, "Here we come."

Then, Miracle opened his mouth, and a blue smoke came out.

Duan Jiaze: "??"

... This, it shouldn't be considered hot.

Duan Jiaze didn't dare to speak for a while, and waited for another ten seconds. Miracle coughed, and he saw a small stream of fire coming out, faintly, like a smoke ring, flashing in the air and then disappearing .

Duan Jiaze stared at Miracle for another half a minute, and after confirming that there was no follow-up, he applauded vigorously: "Okay!"

Miracle lowered its head shyly. It has worked hard for a long time, and finally it can breathe fire like a godfather.

Although this is just the most common fire, it's still a little bit, and it took a lot of effort. Because it is just the beginning of cultivation, this is to gather the fire spirit energy of the whole body, let them condense at one point, and then burn it up...

For a penguin just getting started, it is already very good!

Miracle believes that one day, it will also be able to accurately grasp the fire. The real fire of the sun is unlikely, but the true fire of Samadhi can still be considered. At that time, he will also be a little sun.

Duan Jiaze read this sentence from Miracle's heart, he was speechless, and stroked Miracle's head, "My good son, you have ideals, and you will become a sun when you grow up."

Lu Ya also encouraged Miracle, but most of the content was his firm belief that Miracle, as his son, would definitely achieve great achievements, and Duan Jiaze couldn't stop him.

Lu Ya: "I remember that there are still some hibiscus wood left. It is a miracle that it can breathe fire. I want to use the hibiscus wood to make a toy for it. Otherwise, what should I do if the things in the nest are burned?"

If Miracle was a human being, his face would be flushed with excitement at this moment, and his big feet would be flapping on the ground.

Duan Jiaze didn't say what he wanted to say. Although he wanted to encourage children, wouldn't it be a bit exaggerated to use hibiscus wood for fire prevention? Miracle's nest is in the Polar Pavilion. With the temperature there, even if Miracle gathers fire, it may not be able to burn anything...

Forget it, let them be happy for a while. Lu Ya has already gone to get the hibiscus wood.

Duan Jiaze told Miracle again: "Now you can breathe fire, don't use it when you conflict with others."

Although at the speed of miraculous reading, half an hour is not as good as sitting to death, but just in case, such education should be given to it since childhood. Otherwise, in the future, just like Lu Ya, he will burn people casually, so how can it be done.

Miracle nodded obediently, "Gah."

At this time, someone knocked on the door outside, and Liu Bin's voice came in, "Director, are you there?"

As soon as Miracle rolled his eyes, he ran to the window, wanting to see if his father came back.

Duan Jiaze pressed Miracle, "What's the matter?"

Liu Bin said: "I have something urgent to go back to my hometown and ask you for approval."

With Liu Bin's current level, he still needs to sign for Duan Jiaze to take several days off. When Duan Jiaze heard that he was in a hurry, he said, "Are you going to do it now? Wait a minute."

Miracle looked at Duan Jiaze, pointed to the window with his wings, and drew an arc with his wings. What it means is, it jumps from here, and let the magpie catch it in the air.

"Please do me a favor and let the Qixi magpie go." Duan Jiaze opened the refrigerator and raised his chin to the little fat man.

Miracle:"… … "

Duan Jiaze pushed the fat penguin hard, and Miracle curled up and sat in the freezer on the lower floor.

His refrigerator has two compartments on the top and bottom, and there is food in the upper refrigerator compartment, and it is divided into compartments. Obviously, it is impossible to store penguins. But there's nothing in the freezer, just pulling the drawer out does the trick.

As soon as the refrigerator door was closed, Duan Jiaze went to open the door. Liu Bin waited a little anxiously with the leave note, so he quickly handed it to him.

Duan Jiaze looked at the reason and found that Liu Bin's elders were seriously ill. No wonder he was in such a hurry, he signed it quickly.

Liu Bin turned his eyes around the room. He always felt that he heard something outside the door just now, and the director waited for a long time before opening the door. At first, Liu Bin actually wondered if Brother Lu and the principal were making out in it, so...

But looking at it now, Brother Lu is obviously not there.

Hmm, those freezer drawers

After Duan Jiaze signed, he saw Liu Bin looking at the freezer and said, "Take it out and prepare to clean the refrigerator."

Liu Bin joked: "Haha, I thought I hid someone in the refrigerator."

Duan Jiaze also smiled slightly: "Nonsense, try hiding in it, it won't freeze you to death."

Liu Bin chuckled and said, "I can't stand it, Brother Lu is in good health."

"Get lost." Duan Jiaze drove Liu Bin out, "Remember to hand over the work properly."

As soon as Liu Bin went out, he saw Brother Lu approaching with something wrapped in a cloth in his hand, and he was completely sure that the strange guess was impossible. It was estimated that the head of the garden was just busy for a while, so he pressed Lu He nodded and ran away.

After Duan Jiaze let Lu Ya in, he closed the door and opened the refrigerator.

Lu Ya: "..."

Miracle got out of it, and the refrigerator was shaken almost without being squeezed. After moving his body, nothing happened.

Lu Ya said: "Can't you wait for me to come back? You must put your son in the refrigerator. The refrigerator is for food!"

"Are you so particular?" Duan Jiaze looked at Lu Ya in disbelief, "Then you threatened to eat me before."

Lu Ya snorted, and lifted the cloth. Inside was a piece of hibiscus wood. He wanted to make a plumping toy for Miracle.

Miracle looked at it expectantly. This is the hibiscus tree, the place where the three-legged golden crow lives. That's what it's trying to do, little sun.

When Duan Jiaze thought of the wish for a miracle, his heart moved, and he said, "Son, Dad told you that you can't set too big a goal from the beginning."

If this is the case, over time, Miracle will be very disappointed, because it takes too long to realize, and then it will become more and more lost. There is a bigger gap than aspiring to be a professor when I first entered elementary school.

Lu Ya was always full of confidence, but Duan Jiaze thought about the long training time in the middle, and how long is the normal lifespan of an emperor penguin. He felt that he should properly guide the miracle.

Miracle looked up: how should that be

Duan Jiaze said: "You set a small goal first, and then talk about it after you complete it. Look, every time you complete a small goal, your godfather can reward you. How nice it is."

Miracle also nodded vigorously in agreement: Well, a small goal!

Duan Jiaze looked at him lovingly: "Have you decided on your next small goal?"

Miracle hesitated for a moment, raised his head and yelled: Perm Dad!

Duan Jiaze: "..."
