Chapter 283 You give it to me, I want it...

The red panda held a bamboo leaf in its mouth, its little mouth bulging as it looked left and right with a curious expression.

Lin Xiao and Lu Chengshen exchanged a glance before turning their attention back to the little panda standing in the middle.

Whether the little guy appeared here because he was being naughty and sneaked out, or because he really wanted to keep an eye on the people down the mountain.

So far, the little guy is their only clue in their search for the hidden animals.

"So do you know where everyone has gone to hide?"

Lin Xiao squatted down, her tone visibly softening.

It has to be said that whether it's a giant panda or a red panda, seeing these fluffy little cuties makes one's heart flutter and makes one want to reach out and give them a good rub.

Of course, this is what Lin Xiao thought, and this is what she did.

She used both hands to rub and knead it.

The red panda had no idea what was happening.

However, while he was bending down to cut bamboo, he suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes. In an instant, a pair of large hands descended from the sky and roughly pressed him down and rubbed him.

When he stood up again, the bamboo he had been holding in his mouth trembled and fell to the ground.

The little brat's mind went blank. He looked up at the person closest to him with a blank expression and blinked innocently.

"what?"

Lin Xiao suppressed a smile, pretending nothing had happened, and reached out to comb the little guy's messy fur.

"Hey, where did you run off to? Look at your messy hair."

The red panda actually believed her and turned its head in great fear to look behind it, afraid that its messy fur would ruin its appearance.

Lin Xiao patted his little head with amusement, "Don't move, I'll help you clean it! Answer my question first."

"Oh!" The little guy nodded and obediently gave up struggling.

On the other hand, Lin Xiao's technique for grooming hair was very comfortable.

The red panda squinted its eyes, rubbed against the ground with obvious enjoyment, and then took the initiative to explain.

"Of course I know! But... I can't tell you!"

Lin Xiao's palm movement suddenly stopped, and sure enough, the next second he saw the little guy with his hands on his hips, looking fearless.

"We've come all this way just to guard against people like you."

The little guy tilts his chin up, looking like he doesn't care about anyone.

When it stands up, its dark belly, covered in fur and stray bits of grass, looks both funny and cute!

"To guard against us?" Lin Xiao chuckled and tapped his little head. "Why would we guard against us? We came up the mountain specifically to find you."

"Humph, I don't believe it!"

"You humans are the best at lying."

"Maybe you're lying to me. After I take you there, you'll hurt the animals in the mountains again."

Although the little guy looks simple-minded, his thoughts are perfectly clear.

We will not give up any of the benefits that are rightfully ours.

They don't do anything they shouldn't.

After saying that, he hugged the bamboo in his arms tightly and started gnawing on it.

He has this attitude of "I'll accept anything you give me, but I won't do anything you ask me to do."

Lin Xiao could only turn to look at Lu Chengshen.

After exchanging a few words, Lin Xiao lowered his head and took out the professional work clothes that the staff of the protection center at the foot of the mountain had given them.

Lin Xiao took the clothes and waved them in front of the little panda.

"Even if you don't recognize us, you should at least recognize this garment, right?"

The red panda's eyes widened slightly as it looked at the extremely familiar smock in front of it with considerable surprise.

He did know that a group of people from the foot of the mountain would come up and take a walk every now and then.

No matter how difficult the mountain path was, they would always come up to check on things every now and then. He had even seen the group sneak into the clouded leopard's cave and had seen them pointing and whispering about their kind sleeping in the trees.

Although those humans had done many strange things, he knew very well that they had never harmed them.

So when he saw Lin Xiao take out the clothes with this mark, he immediately began to waver.

If these people in front of me really are their comrades.

Taking them up the mountain doesn't seem like a bad idea.

only……

The little guy chewed on bamboo, his cheeks twitching, but his gaze toward Lin Xiao was full of doubt and hesitation.

Lin Xiao has always been the most patient with these little guys.

So the three of them sat there quietly, neither arguing nor fighting, waiting for the little guy's reply.

The more they did this, the more the little guy's ideas wavered.

Perhaps, he really can...

Just as he was about to make a decision, a distant shout suddenly reached his ears.

"what--"

The little panda that was standing in front of Lin Xiao suddenly trembled and, in the next second, very cleverly hid itself behind the woman.

Lin Xiao looked on blankly as the little guy darted away and hid behind her.

She turned back and winked at Lu Chengshen, then turned to look in the direction from which the sound had come.

The red panda's reaction is so strong, could it be...?

Before Lin Xiao could voice his doubts, a small, reddish-brown cub appeared in their sight.

The red panda leaned against a nearby tree, standing upright on its hind legs like a human, its entire belly pressed tightly against the tree trunk, staring intently in their direction.

Amidst its heavy breathing, the red panda's cry was sharp and piercing.

"Ah-ah-"

However, these cries took on a different meaning in Lin Xiao's ears.

What are you doing here?

"How many times have I told you it's dangerous down the mountain? Don't go down there carelessly. Where have you been listening?"

"What are you hiding for? Do you think I can't see you? Get over here right now."

One sentence after another, leaving no chance for anyone to catch their breath.

Lin Xiao was stunned by the barrage of questions.

The little guy hiding behind her was even more pathetic.

She hid her entire body completely behind Lin Xiao, cautiously peeking out a small head from behind him.

With a furrowed brow, her chubby little head looked even cuter.

However, he didn't have time to think much at that moment, and he awkwardly moved out step by step.

Looking at the adult red panda in front of it, it pitifully called out, "Brother."

The little guy was very good at changing his tune; after coming out, he grinned and showed a very well-behaved smile.

He held up the bamboo in his hand and pushed it forward as if presenting a treasure, his expression extremely obsequious.

"Brother, what are you doing here?"

"And I didn't go down the mountain. I just came here to find something to eat, and somehow I ended up here."

"And then I ran into them."

"And let me tell you, that person is really strange. He can actually understand what we're saying."

Watching the little cub pretending to have amnesia, the red panda standing in the distance gave a disdainful snort and ignored his attempts to please him.

Instead, he looked at the three people opposite him with great vigilance.
