I raise furry animals and fly them to my motherland.

Chapter 269 The Marmot Grandpa
Xu Ying paused, narrowing her eyes: "You just said you were going to donate 200,000?"

Lu Jinyu nodded weakly, his fingers still clutching the hem of her clothes: "Really."

"Heh." Xu Ying's lips curled into a faint sneer. "Someone who even takes back his motorcycle keys."

"Here's your phone!" Lu Jinyu suddenly pulled a diamond-encrusted gaming phone from under his pillow. "Password: 666666. Post on Weibo now using my account!" He added breathlessly, "Just say... Lu's Esports Club donated 200,000 yuan to the snow mountain rescue station."

Xu Ying took the phone, and her suddenly bright smile appeared on the screen: "Oh my~ it seems Mr. Lu really cares about the animals at our rescue station!"

Her fingers flew across the screen. "I'll go find you the medicine right away!"

When the notification sound of the Weibo post being successfully sent rang, Lu Jinyu's lips twitched slightly.

Xu Ying squatted by the rock, rubbing the soft ears of the Ili pika. The little creature's fur was like fluffy dandelions, and its black bean-like eyes blinked.

"Little Pear~" she gently scratched the pika's chin with her fingertips, "Tell your sister, where is your burrow?"

Xu Yinggang gave this Ili pika a new name because its round bottom looks like a pear.

The Ili pika squinted comfortably, its short tail twitching: [Why does my sister want to come to my burrow?]
Xu Ying leaned close to its ear mysteriously and said, "Aren't there always some near your rabbit's burrow?"

Its little paws covered its mouth, and its ears perked up as if it had overheard some incredible secret: [You actually want that?!]
Xu Ying nodded affirmatively and handed it a small container. The container resembled a medicine spatula used in a traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy, only smaller in size.

Netizens noticed Xu Ying seemingly whispering to an Ili pika and couldn't help but wonder: "What's that little shovel? Is it for shoveling Chinese medicinal herbs?"

Wow, this Ili pika is so clever! It even helps gather herbs!

[Didn't Station Master Xu just mention that the show would be doing an intelligence test on the rabbit?]

[The legend of the Jade Rabbit stealing the elixir was actually true!]

But what kind of medicine might be near a pika's burrow?

After hearing Xu Ying's instructions, the Ili pika covered its eyes with its paws, its face showing a shy and embarrassed expression, and lowered its head: [Well, okay then.]
The fluffy, round bottom of the Ili pika waddled across the snow, leading Xu Ying deeper into the crevice of the rock.

More than ten minutes later, it returned with a small shovel in its two rabbit paws, and the shovel was filled with something dark.

Xu Ying put on gloves, took out a small toolbox from her backpack, and went into another tent to start working.

Xu Ying exchanged a few words with the director, who nodded, and the main camera of the live broadcast room was switched to the live broadcast position of Jia Yao, the last guest who came in last.

audience:? ? ?
What's going on? Is there something you're trying to hide?

[Could it be that Station Master Xu's pharmaceutical techniques are a top-secret secret that can't be broadcast?]

[Is Xu Ying trying to poison our Brother Lu by playing coy?]

What is Jia Yao doing? Playing whack-a-mole?

In the live stream, Jia Yao was seen spinning wildly back and forth on the snow like an out-of-control top.

In front of him were a dozen dark holes in the ground, and every five seconds a brownish-yellow ball would pop its head out of a different hole with a "pop".

"Wait! I'm here to—" Just as Jia Yao lunged toward the left entrance of the cave, the sound of a marmot came from the right entrance.

When he turned around, all the holes were empty, with only messy footprints on the snow.

Is Jia Yao playing a real-life version of whack-a-mole?

[Marmot: Didn't expect that, did you?.jpg]

This scene looks like a funny video of my home WiFi lagging.

[I just realized that marmots are actually groundhogs!] Seeing Jia Yao being completely fooled by the marmot, the photographer couldn't bear it any longer and pointed to the burlap bag in the crevice: "A little something to say."

When Jia Yao carried a bundle of fresh sand onion roots to the vicinity of the burrow, the snow suddenly shook!
"Whoosh-"

A streak of brownish-yellow lightning shot out from the main cave, tracing a perfect drifting trajectory on the snow surface. The snow particles splashed up during the sudden stop smeared Jia Yao's face.

A plump marmot stood up, its soft belly still jiggling, its paws slapping loudly.

[Two-legged creature! Hand it over now!]

The audience then realized that there was no army of marmots; it was the same animal from beginning to end!
Relying on its underground tunnel network, it managed to project the imposing presence of a "thousands of troops".

[It deserves an Oscar!]

This chubby boy can run incredibly fast!

The marmot snatched the root but didn't leave, its dark eyes fixed on Jia Yao's backpack.

[That's it?] It gestured with its paw. [The production team promised a gift for three people!]

Jia Yao understood what the short, chubby man was saying through his gestures: "How do you know there are two more bundles?"

He originally planned to leave two bundles to lure the marmots and return to the meeting point himself.

Jia Yao looked troubled: "Your small body can't carry three bundles of wild onions."

The marmot rolled its eyes: [Give it to me or not, or I'll throw a tantrum!]
However, it didn't realize that not all humans could understand it like Station Master Xu.

Jia Yao had no idea what the chubby boy was saying.

When Jia Yao refused his request, the marmot suddenly let out a loud yell: "Ah—!!"

The classic screeching of a groundhog echoed through the snow-capped mountains, and snow cascaded down the rock face.

[Haha, here's where the meme originated!]

Wow, the sound of a real groundhog sounds like a whistle, so penetrating!

"Here you go!"

Jia Yao covered his ears and shouted immediately.

This little thing is really hard to deal with; it's a real little tyrant!

Jia Yao compromised and took out two more bundles of sand onion roots and placed them in front of the marmot.

The marmot immediately picked up the sand onion roots and started gnawing on them, showing no intention of leaving.

Jia Yao glanced at the time on his watch helplessly. "Little darling, can we go to the meeting point first and eat there?"

The marmot ignored him and continued to gnaw on the roots and stems of the sand onion with relish.

Jia Yao: "Brother, there's plenty of delicious food at the meeting point."

The marmot buried its head in its food, muttering to itself, "[I'll finish the sand onion roots first, then I'll eat other good stuff. I need to save the good stuff for later.]"
Seeing the marmot leisurely munching on the roots of wild onions without any urgency, Jia Yao quickly added, "Grandpa, if we don't go eat the delicious food at the meeting point now, it will be eaten by the other small animals later!"

The marmot's little ears suddenly perked up, and its beady black eyes darted around.

Suddenly, it rolled over and lay on its back on the snow, its furry belly rising and falling with its breath. Its two front paws were casually crossed on its belly, and it was chewing on a piece of wild onion root, looking just like a master waiting to be served.

[Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry!]
