Chapter 437
So, while almost everyone else returned to their vehicles to rest at night, Sofia, alone, sat around the fire they had lit, carrying the assembled gun, and continued to keep watch for them.
That night, Lin Xiao slept for only a short while before immediately opening her eyes.
She glanced back at the two students lying on the back seats, sleeping very restlessly.
She smiled and helped pull the blankets covering them up a little higher before turning to look at the people sitting outside the window.
Sofia sat in front of the fire, holding a long gun in her arms, and idly poked at the fire in front of her.
Suddenly, she heard faint footsteps. Sophia looked up instinctively and saw Lin Xiao stepping out of the car.
Lin Xiao smiled and handed the blanket to Sophia. Instead of going back, she found a place to sit down nearby.
Sophia looked at Lin Xiao, who had a gentle face, with obvious curiosity in her eyes.
"Both students are asleep?"
Lin Xiao smiled and nodded, "The two of them still seem very uncomfortable sleeping in the wild. Even in the car, they are sleeping very restlessly."
"Is that so?" Sophia nodded, but her gaze remained fixed on Lin Xiao.
"However, I'm curious, you look about the same age as them, why are you their teacher?"
Lin Xiao didn't speak directly, but just smiled with her lips pursed, "Maybe... it's because I have a lot of personal charm?"
The two exchanged a smile, and Sofia shook her head helplessly.
However, knowing that the other party didn't want to reveal too much to him, he didn't press her for more information.
The two sat beside each other, gently poking at the fire in front of them. Although they didn't say anything more, the atmosphere was strangely harmonious.
The night went by quickly.
When Sun Zhongwen and Zheng Yunnan woke up, they were the only two people in the car.
Sun Zhongwen stretched his stiff spine before following Zheng Yunnan out of the car.
He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Sofia, who was still sitting by the fire.
I wonder if she got any rest tonight?
only……
Huh?
Sun Zhongwen subconsciously turned his head and looked around, but couldn't find the person he was looking for.
Where is Lin Xiao?
He was about to ask the person next to him a question, but before he could even speak, he saw Zheng Yunnan standing there, looking up at the sky without moving.
A question mark slowly appeared on Sun Zhongwen's forehead.
He subconsciously looked up and followed the other person's gaze, but his eyes widened in shock.
At this moment, a faint light had already appeared in the east, and the deep blue sky overhead was pierced by the sunlight, revealing a translucent deep blue.
Not only that, the Milky Way overhead, twinkling and shimmering, seemed to have many tiny eyes.
Furthermore, the vast and unobstructed view of the grassland at this moment is incredibly awe-inspiring.
Finally, a soft chuckle broke the silence, interrupting their observation.
Sofia's smile deepened as she watched the people who were looking at them almost simultaneously.
Seeing the two little ones who clearly couldn't control their expressions, Sofia smiled and shook her head, then waved to the person next to her.
"Alright, you'll be staying here for the next few days. There'll be plenty of time to look around later. Now, go find your little teachers first."
Sun Zhongwen touched the tip of his nose somewhat embarrassedly.
"So where did Teacher Lin go?"
Zheng Yunnan then realized that Lin Xiao had disappeared.
She glanced around a few times, but didn't see the person she wanted to see, so she could only silently turn her gaze to Sophia.
I hope to get an answer from her.
They stared at him expectantly, as if he were two pitiful puppies.
Sofia shook her head with amusement before pointing in a certain direction.
"She just said she heard the call of a honey badger, so she went out to see if she could find any African honey badgers."
"If possible, you'll be in for a treat this morning; you might actually find some real wild honey to eat."
A honey badger from Africa?!
Sun Zhongwen rubbed his hands together excitedly, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Generally speaking, you can find honey badger in places where honeybirds are present.
Therefore, Sun Zhongwen and Zheng Yunnan followed Sofia's directions without hesitation.
In the direction they were heading, there was a sparse grove of trees.
Sure enough, after walking a short distance, they saw Lin Xiao standing to the side, quite a distance away.
When Lin Xiao saw the two of them approaching, she immediately raised her hand to stop them from getting closer.
"Wait a moment, I just talked to that honey badger and the honey cricket. After they get the beehive, they can give us some."
"Let's stand a little further away, in case the bees riot and accidentally hurt us."
Zheng Yunnan's eyes sparkled as she nodded in perfect agreement.
As he spoke, he immediately took a step back and stood directly next to Lin Xiao, and couldn't help but sigh.
"I never imagined that African animals could be so friendly!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao remained strangely silent for a moment, and her gaze towards Zheng Yunnan made one feel somewhat guilty.
Maybe... perhaps.
However, Zheng Yunnan was completely oblivious to the reactions of those around her. At that moment, she was only focused on standing on tiptoe and looking in the direction Lin Xiao had pointed earlier.
Sure enough, they spotted the fearless honey badger rushing hurriedly toward the beehive in the forest.
Because its grayish-white fur extends from its back to the top of its head, it looks as if it has a shaved head.
In addition, this guy is fearless and dares to charge into battle against lions, leopards, buffalo, or black mambas without any regard for the consequences.
It truly is a case of "Take life and death lightly, and fight if you disagree!"
Therefore, everyone respectfully calls him "Honey Badger" without any tacit agreement.
Even now, it is still listed in the Guinness World Records as the "world's bravest and most fearless animal".
So, seeing the honey badger stealing honey at such close range, even though they were quite far away and could only satisfy their cravings with binoculars, Sun Zhongwen and Zheng Yunnan couldn't help but feel excited.
Meanwhile, the honey badger moves swiftly.
Without hesitation, he rushed forward, grabbed the beehive hanging from the branch, and ran away.
The bees that were originally in the hive suddenly swarmed out, buzzing around Flathead and occasionally landing on his fur.
Unfortunately, the honey badger's fur is very tough, and even a venomous tongue cannot penetrate it, let alone a tiny wild bee.
The honey badger remained completely undisturbed, quickly breaking the honeycomb apart and devouring the young bees inside.
The buzzing bees nearby watched his unbridled behavior, but were powerless to do anything about it.
Unfortunately... no matter how hard they tried, the old beehive had already been destroyed. The bees simply circled around it for a long time, but in the end, they could only leave in vain.
Lin Xiao, standing nearby, smiled even more broadly at the sight.
Not bad!
The bees swarmed around the hive helplessly, watching as the honey badger tore it to pieces.
After a short while, the bees that had been circling around dispersed.
By this time, the honey badger had finally finished eating.
Previously, honey badgers could only chew up beehives; with just their mouths, they couldn't possibly eat everything clean.
Things are different now.
He looked around several times, finally determining a direction.
He lowered his head, just about to bite into the broken honeycomb, when he saw a honeyfly suddenly fly out from somewhere.
He stood with his feet on the edge of the honeycomb, and carefully pecked at the honey inside with his beak.
Although the little guy was eating very attentively, he never stopped observing his surroundings.
Almost the instant the honey badger raised its paw to strike, it immediately flapped its wings and flew into the air.
He let out a few sharp cries of resentment.
Even Sun Zhengwen and Zheng Yunnan, who couldn't understand bird language at all, could sense the grievance in it.
Lin Xiao raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Unfortunately, the honey badger, which is always fearless, was not afraid at all.
He bit the beehive he had finally found and walked out of the forest without looking back.
However, honey badgers are rough, and some of the chewed-up beehives were simply left on the spot.
The honey harpy circled around the spot several times, looking aggrieved, and only after confirming that the honey badger wouldn't return did it land and begin to devour the honey on the ground.
Honey crickets usually feed on honey, but unfortunately they dare not provoke wild bees in the trees and can only pin their hopes on the fearless honey badger.
So it's as if the two species have made an agreement: generally, as soon as the honey harrier hears the call of the honey harrier, the honey badger knows that the other has found honey.
Then, he could easily find honey by following the calls of the honeyfinch.
Unfortunately, the honey badger broke its promise this time.
The honeyfly landed on the ground and ate all the edible honey before getting up and flying back into the sky.
This collaborator was really unlucky; hopefully the next one will be at least a little better!
Meanwhile, Lin Xiao watched as the honey badger carried the beehive directly to them.
Although Sun Zhongwen had some idea of what was going on, he still couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw such a large honey badger approaching.
The honey badger completely ignored the two children standing next to it and pushed the beehive it had placed on the ground towards Lin Xiao.
"You want honey, right? Then clear out my food, and I'll trade you honey for it, how about that?"
Honey Badger spoke very frankly and without any pretense.
He stood there, his beady eyes fixed on the person in front of him.
Lin Xiao put on a thoughtful expression and said very seriously, "It's not impossible for us to help you, but I'd like to ask you to grant us a request, okay?"
"I can assure you that during this time, my friends will be happy to help you whenever you need them, but you have to let my friends come with you, okay?"
The honey badger looked at the question posed by the two-legged creature in front of it and felt completely bewildered.
Follow him?
What's so great about following him?
However, after looking down at the beehive that was almost torn to shreds, he nodded without hesitation after only a few seconds of thought.
"Okay, but your friend has to clean up my food thoroughly every time."
Lin Xiao turned to look at the two people beside him who were still excitedly observing the honey badger. After a moment of silence, he immediately nodded without any hesitation.
In any case, they are the ones learning, so it's perfectly reasonable for them to exchange their labor for the opportunity to observe animals!
At this moment, the two people who were seizing every opportunity to observe were unaware that they had been unceremoniously sold to the honey badger next to them by Lin Xiao.
Once the deal was struck, the honey badger unceremoniously pushed its beehive in front of Sun Zhongwen.
Sun Zhongwen was already very excited, and his eyes lit up even more when he saw the animals offering him food.
He subconsciously looked at Lin Xiao and saw Lin Xiao with his arms crossed over his chest, saying in a low voice, "He wants you to help him dig out all the larvae and pupae from the beehive."
"This is his food, he wants to eat it!"
Sun Zhongwen looked at the beehive in front of him, which was only about a quarter damaged, and a question mark slowly appeared on his forehead.
what?
Are animals these days all this smart?
Although Sun Zhongwen felt completely bewildered, he still cooperated by carefully prying open the honeycomb in his hands, bit by bit.
Once Sun Zhongwen had finished all the work, the honey badger glanced at the larvae squatting beside him, opened its mouth, and swallowed them whole.
But as he was leaving, he didn't forget to remind Lin Xiao.
"Alright, I'm going back now. I'll come back to find you when I get out!"
Lin Xiao smiled and nodded, "Okay, just come over then."
Watching the honey badger run off so carefree and fearless, Lin Xiao glanced thoughtfully at the two little guys beside her.
She had a vague feeling that, given the honey badger's fearless and bold spirit, Sun Zhongwen and Zheng Yunnan's days ahead were bound to be incredibly exciting!
Sofia looked quite surprised when she saw them carrying several pieces of honeycomb back with them.
She stared blankly at the three people who walked over, her face contorted with shock that even her skin couldn't hide.
Where did you get the honey?
You should know that wild bees are not like domesticated honeybees; a slight mistake can lead to serious problems.
Moreover, although the honeycomb has been broken into pieces, it looks very regular, clearly indicating that it was manually broken apart by hand.
But how could they possibly... such a large beehive...?
Sure enough, the next second, Lin Xiao coughed and explained, "We just encountered a very understanding honey badger."
"He gave it to us!"
At this moment, Sun Zhongwen and Zheng Yunnan had already become Lin Xiao's die-hard fans.
They would do whatever she said!
Sofia was shocked: "Honey badger? A gift for you?"
The three people nodded seriously.
While pounding honey out, Lin Xiao turned around and said, "By the way, I also made a deal with him. As long as Zhong Wen and Yun Nan can help him distribute food in the future, he can also let the two of them visit as samples unconditionally."
Lin Xiao seemed completely unaware of the shocking thing she had just said, and even took the time to check on her two students.
"Honey badgers are fearless, so when you two are with him, remember to be careful. His skin can protect against venomous snakes and African wild dogs, but you two can't do that!"
Sun Zhongwen and Zheng Yunnan looked puzzled.
Is that really a reasonable statement?!
