Chapter 368
Lin Xiao froze, surrounded by a cacophony of exclamations.
After a long while, a helpless sigh reached my ears.
Wen Man stepped forward, trying to guide him to turn around and leave.
However, Lin Xiao stood still.
She blinked, her originally curled eyelashes fluttering as they rubbed against Wen Man's palm.
A tingling sensation mixed with a slight itchiness.
Wen Man's hand visibly clenched slightly, but she still couldn't bear to let go.
"We should go."
Lin Xiao's voice was calm.
"I know."
She raised her hand and grasped Wen Man's wrist, gently pulling the other woman's hand down from her eyes.
Wen Man frowned subconsciously and couldn't help but offer advice again.
"Lin Xiao, you..."
Before she could even utter a word, Lin Xiao's extremely slow voice rang in her ears again.
It seemed as if they were completely unaffected.
"I know everything you're saying."
"But I also know very well that I am not omnipotent."
"It's normal for persuasion to fail. I can't always get them to go against their nature and make the most advantageous choice, so..."
"Whether the ending is death or life, I should try to accept it."
By the end, Lin Xiao's voice even carried a hint of helplessness.
"Teacher Wen, I'm not a child anymore."
So... there's no need to be so careful.
They were afraid that even a small setback would completely defeat her.
Wen Man remained silent for a long time before finally slowly removing her hand from Lin Xiao's eyes.
Actually, she came here today because she was worried that this would happen.
Moreover, since Lin Xiao left the entertainment industry and entered the industry, she has had a smooth journey and has not encountered any messy problems.
Therefore, Chu Lian had called her long ago, asking her to take good care of his family.
However... it seems that Elder Chu was indeed worrying unnecessarily.
Lin Xiao wasn't as fragile as she thought.
Lin Xiao looked at the busy black-necked crane experts not far away, slowly moved her feet, and took the initiative to walk over.
The black-necked crane had its head on the ground and was already dead.
Several experts, their faces filled with sighs, began preparing to clean up the body in front of them.
Upon seeing Lin Xiao, he could only sigh helplessly.
"Girl, don't overthink it. We've tried so many times, and it always ends the same way."
"Moreover, you are the only one among them who has allowed him to live this long."
Hearing everyone's comforting words, Lin Xiao could only smile in agreement.
His gaze fell solely on the black-necked crane that had been packed up.
Just then, Lin Xiao's palm, which was hanging by her side, was gently pecked.
Lin Xiao subconsciously turned her head and, sure enough, saw a black-necked crane that was almost an adult.
This black-necked crane is an adult black-necked crane, but it's a little smaller, and its behavior is somewhat childlike.
She lowered her head and pecked her fingertips twice without any politeness.
Lin Xiao curled up and looked at the other person with some curiosity.
"are you looking for me?"
The black-necked crane finally raised its head.
He spread his wings and flapped them twice, then took another step forward. "Yes, yes, you're the one I'm looking for."
"My father asked me to pass on a message to you. He said thank you for avenging my mother."
The little guy's beady eyes are bright and piercing.
Those eyes were crystal clear, and they looked at the other person with an expectant expression.
Anyway, if Dad says this person is a good person, then she must be a good person!
Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, then could only gently pat her head in a friendly manner.
"From now on, you must stay close to the elders in your family and not be captured by humans again."
The little guy flapped its wings with an extremely proud air, its movements light and agile.
"No way! I'm so smart, how could I be captured by humans? Don't worry!"
As he spoke, he circled and flew through the air toward the flock of black-necked cranes.
Lin Xiao stood there silently, watching them walk, fly, and hunt gracefully on the wet ground...
It wasn't until the staff member handling the black-necked crane came over that the situation changed.
"Comrade Lin, we've almost finished dealing with things here, let's go."
Lin Xiao nodded, but as she left, her gaze involuntarily fell on the spot where the black-necked crane had struck.
At this moment, the area is covered with yellow soil, and the traces of fresh soil are particularly obvious. Apart from that, there is nothing left.
She paused for a moment, then continued walking away.
It was nearly evening when they left the wetland reserve, so Lin Xiao and Chengzi had no choice but to find a hotel to stay in temporarily.
That evening, Lin Xiao sat by the window, looking at the colorful neon lights outside, her face full of confusion.
Just then, the door was opened, and Lin Xiao turned around to see Chengzi push the door open and walk in.
Feng Cheng smiled and sat down next to Lin Xiao. "What's wrong? I've felt something's off about you since this afternoon."
As he spoke, he placed the two bottles of beer he was holding directly in front of Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao looked at what was in front of her, a faint smile appearing on her lips.
She looked up, opened her beer, took a sip, and then spoke up.
"I wouldn't say I'm disappointed or not, I'm just a little confused all of a sudden."
"Everyone used to say that letting things take their natural course is the best approach. But what happened today has left me a bit stunned."
"Isn't the black-necked crane's suicide a natural occurrence? But... why do we try to go against nature and keep it alive? Isn't that another way of breaking the rules?"
Lin Xiao looked up and took another sip of wine, her smile a little embarrassed.
"Sorry to make you listen to my nonsense."
Feng Cheng shook the beer in his hand a couple of times and chuckled softly.
However, his expression was very serious, and he didn't seem to understand the meaning behind those words at all.
"No, you're right!"
"This can indeed be considered a violation of the rules in another sense."
"But you also have to consider the preconditions, after all, at this moment, the black-necked crane can also be considered a protected animal in our country."
"When their numbers are scarce, if we can save even one more of them, it is a limited resource that benefits the entire ecosystem."
"It's just a matter of time."
Why think so much?
After hearing what Chengzi said, Lin Xiao and Chengzi exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"Yes, you're right, I was being stubborn."
"There aren't that many rights and wrongs. We just need to do our best, and leave the rest to nature to heal itself."
The two bumped into each other, and their smiles relaxed considerably.
Having cleared up the jumbled thoughts in her mind, Lin Xiao slept soundly that night.
The next morning, I got out of bed very early.
Seeing Feng Cheng leave, the two exchanged a glance and both smiled.
"morning!"
"morning!"
