Chapter 438

Sofia, standing next to her, also looked bewildered.

"Huh? You're telling them to go with the honey badger..."

Thinking of the honey badger's fearless nature, Sophia suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for the two students in front of her.

Sun Zhongwen and Zheng Yunnan finally came to their senses at this moment.

He looked at the person who was bent over, squeezing out honey with great concentration, his face full of conflict.

Lin Xiao had just finished squeezing the honey from her hand when she turned around and met three pairs of eyes staring intently at her.

She paused in her work and looked back with a curious expression.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Zheng Yunnan was about to speak, but before she could finish her sentence, Sun Zhongwen, who was next to her, tugged at her arm.

He smiled and took a step forward, interrupting Zheng Yunnan who was only halfway through her sentence.

"Teacher Lin, don't worry, we will definitely seize this opportunity."

Lin Xiao nodded, looking at his very serious expression.

"You're a good young man. After all, this honey is the result of both of your efforts. You should definitely get the first cup!"

Looking at the cup handed directly to him, Sun Zhongwen hesitated for a moment before taking it.

The two little ones, clutching their cups, turned and left. Lin Xiao smiled faintly, then poured a cup of honey water from her own hand and handed it directly to Sophia, who was staring in disbelief.

Even after Sofia took the cup from the other person, she was still lost in thought about the conversation.

and……

She looked thoughtfully at the person in front of her, her eyes sparkling.

"Lin, how exactly do you manage to make the honey badger so obedient?"

"and……"

She glanced thoughtfully at the two people huddled together talking not far away, then looked back at Lin Xiao sitting next to her.

"Why do I suddenly feel like you're setting me up..."

Sofia had only spoken half a sentence when Lin Xiao rudely covered her mouth.

Sophia stared blankly at the flawless face before her.

Lin Xiao, however, spoke up seriously, "What do you mean by 'tricked'? I'm teaching them a lesson! Even in the animal kingdom, we can't always let the little ones suffer, can we?!"

Little brat?
Sophia couldn't help but twitch her lips as she thought of the honey badger's defiant and reckless nature, its ability to come from the midst of snakes and ferocious beasts.

What kind of mentality does Lin Xiao have to call this most rogue guy "little guy"?
Although Lin Xiao warned the two little ones to be careful, who could guarantee that they wouldn't encounter other ferocious beasts?
Thinking about this, she couldn't help but feel a chill for the two little ones.

Fortunately, Lin Xiao wasn't as ruthless as he described.

While the two little ones were away, she sat down next to Sofia and began to discuss with her where to park the car behind them.

In particular, since Sun Zhongwen and Zheng Yunnan left with the honey badger, the two matriarchs certainly couldn't just watch from afar.

So the two of them decided to keep their distance and observe from afar.

At the very least, we can't let Sun Zhongwen and Zheng Yunnan see them following behind and become complacent.

Seeing Lin Xiao's serious expression, Sophia's smile deepened.

Needless to say, she's a person who's stubborn but soft-hearted, what a pity...

I don't know what those two people did to offend her, but she actually came up with this strange and bizarre method to keep tormenting them.

However, no matter what, Sun Zhongwen and Zheng Yunnan were still under the other party's command.

Since Lin Xiao didn't say anything more, there was no need for him to dwell on this matter any longer.

As long as we cooperate fully and ensure their safety, that's all that matters.

Beside them, Sun Zhongwen and Zheng Yunnan huddled together, glancing back warily at the two sitting by the fire every now and then.

After confirming that they were just sitting around the fire talking and didn't make any move to get up, he turned his head and looked at the person next to him with a conflicted expression.

"Do you think this is because Teacher Lin is still holding a grudge about what happened at the hotel, and that's why..."

Sun Zhongwen spoke mysteriously, his face full of indignation, as if he had really suffered some injustice.

Zheng Yunnan remained silent for a moment, then looked up at him with a calm expression and slowly spoke.

"If I told you yes, what are you going to do?"

“I…” Sun Zhongwen opened his mouth, but considering the reality before him, he could only shut his mouth and sit down with a wronged expression.

"Stop criticizing me, why don't you talk about yourself first? Are you just willing to let her torment you like this?"

Sun Zhongwen couldn't help but show a look of disgust when he thought about the sticky feeling on his hands while handling the beehive this afternoon.

Is he really supposed to do such a disgusting thing all by himself?
Thinking of this, the irritation he had managed to suppress almost suddenly surged up again.

But Zheng Yunnan still maintained that calm expression.

She looked up at her senior brother without blinking and asked the most important question without any hesitation.

"So, besides Lin Xiao, who else do you think could let us observe honey badgers so closely?"

"Moreover, it's not even possible that it's just a honey badger. You should know that when honey badgers fight on the grasslands, even Teacher Lin might not be able to predict what animals we'll encounter."

"So, are you really going to give up this opportunity?"

Zheng Yunnan's ordinary voice revealed the most important part.

But the thought of having to follow the honey badger around and serve him made Sun Zhongwen feel irritable.

He had never even washed his own clothes since he was a child, but now he was squatting in Africa, taking care of the honey badger's daily needs.

It's frustrating just thinking about it.

Although Sun Zhongwen looked annoyed, his tone of voice had clearly softened.

Zheng Yunnan's smile deepened, and she even stepped forward, patted Sun Zhongwen on the shoulder, and made a joke.

"Alright. At least he only asked you to help organize the food. If Teacher Lin had asked a dung beetle, then you should be crying!"

After the two finished talking, they both felt much more relaxed.

When she walked up to Lin Xiao, she even had a faint smile on her face.

Lin Xiao glanced at them thoughtfully, then lowered her eyes, fiddling with the burning embers with the wooden stick in her hand.

"What? You've done the ideological work?"

Sun Zhongwen looked up in astonishment and suddenly looked up at Zheng Yunnan.

But Zheng Yunnan also looked dazed and shook his head.

She really didn't say anything today!

“Don’t look at Yun Nan, she didn’t tell me anything.”

Lin Xiao spoke slowly, while bending down to pick up a piece of honeycomb that still had honey on it and placing it on the ground next to her.

Sun Zhongwen curiously peeked out and saw a small bird that had come from somewhere, sticking its tail out and pecking at the beehive in front of it.

Sun Zhongwen's lips twitched, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

So this grassland is full of spies?!
Having somehow gotten wind of the news, Xiang Mili spontaneously approached Lin Xiao and began to tattle.

It even received a reward of honey for it. Looking at the two of them, one feeding the other and the other eating, getting along very harmoniously, Sun Zhongwen hesitated for a moment, and finally could only sigh helplessly.

"Alright, alright, I accept my fate, okay?"

Lin Xiao then looked up at him and said quietly, "It's good that you know."

However, jokes aside, Lin Xiao's attitude was quite serious when it came to important matters.

"Honey badgers' behavior has almost no specific time standard, so you two should take this time to rest. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, don't say I didn't warn you."

"And don't forget to take notes."

"By the way, when you're following the honey badger, if you have the chance, try to find some clean water sources. Otherwise, it will be too late to look for water when we run out of water."

After speaking, Lin Xiao lowered her head and fell silent, but in her mind she was still thinking about whether there was anything else she hadn't remembered.

Sun Zhongwen was stunned into place by the series of tasks issued by Lin Xiao.

So much stuff?
He stood there for a while, processing the information, before turning around to share the "good news" with Zheng Yunnan, only to see Lin Xiao raise his head again.

"By the way, there's more..."

Sun Zhongwen looked shocked. "Huh? There's more?"

He was about to complain with a bitter face when he saw Lin Xiao raise his eyebrows, his eyes full of threat.

Sun Zhongwen silently shut his mouth, preparing to continue enduring the torment from his boss.

After waiting for quite a while, I still didn't hear anyone speak from the other end.

He looked up, puzzled.

He saw Lin Xiao smile at him, clearly just teasing him.

Joking aside, Lin Xiao still emphasized to him very seriously, "Don't forget your homework this time. If you neglect your studies and Teacher Zhao Yu gets angry, there's nothing I can do."

"Alright, you two can decide how to divide it yourselves. Don't keep us two campers from resting here."

After saying that, Lin Xiao lay down on the recliner next to him, looking extremely relaxed, as if he were really a tourist.

Sofia watched Lin Xiao's convincing act, unable to suppress the amused smile on her face, and could only grit her teeth and pull the hat over her face.

She only took off her hat after Sun Zhongwen left.

After all that fuss, it was already completely light.

Sophia sat up straight with a sigh, watching Lin Xiao and Xiang Mi Lie interact so harmoniously, her face showing visible envy.

"You're such a strange person! You're not exactly nice to these little guys, so why do they seem to have their eyes on you and keep coming close to you?"

As Lin Xiao fed the birds, she glanced at her with a light laugh, "I can't help it, I'm just naturally loved by animals."

Sofia curled her lip in disgust, laughing at her for only knowing how to pat herself on the back.

However, she was indeed very curious.

The honey badger is one, the honey harrier is another, so will there be more animals to follow?

Thinking about this, Sofia couldn't help but feel a little excited about the journey ahead.

The honey badger only ate a beehive larva; there wasn't much else to it.

Less than an hour later, Lin Xiao saw the honey badger from before reappear around them.

The honey badger circled the car several times before finally stopping directly in front of Lin Xiao.

The honey badger, which was standing at Lin Xiao's feet and earnestly eating honey, looked at him with disdain when it saw him approaching and gave him a hard shove on its rear end.

That honey badger is so annoying! It didn't keep its word!
The honey badger had no idea what the little bird beside it was thinking.

The only thing he misses now is the feeling of gulping down his food in one go after that person had prepared it for him...

So cool!

So now, he looked intently at Lin Xiao with his big, beady eyes and asked, "Where is the person who helped me prepare the food?"

Lin Xiao:......

Lin Xiao paused for a moment, then turned around and called out to the two people who were catching up on sleep in the car without any politeness.

"Your creditors have arrived!"

Sun Zhongwen: ...

Zheng Yunnan: ...

The two struggled to their feet, each moving more slowly than the other.

It's really strange, really. It's the first time he's ever felt that his creditor isn't even human!
The two men got out of the car, and as soon as they looked up, they saw a honey badger standing on the ground next to the SUV, looking up at them.

Above his head was a brown honeybird that resembled a sparrow.

When the birds saw them come out, they let out a series of excited chirps, their whole bodies radiating joy.

Sun Zhongwen and Zheng Yunnan both looked surprised.

After all, just now, this little guy looked at them with disdain and wouldn't even give them a second glance.

However, after they dozed off for a short while, why did this guy suddenly do a complete 180-degree turn and get excited just seeing them?
The two of them looked at Lin Xiao beside them in perfect unison.

Lin Xiao and Sophia were tidying up the things they had laid out.

They originally wanted to park the car somewhere, but on the grassland, no one could guarantee what kind of people they might encounter.

If the follow-up vehicle is stolen, they won't even have anywhere to look for it.

Not to mention, if they encountered poachers on the grassland, they would be easy targets.

Lin Xiao felt the gazes on her, and she slowly stopped. When she looked up, she met two pairs of eyes full of doubt.

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "What are you looking at? The two of them were originally the best partners for finding wild bee honey on the grassland. They separated for food back then, and now they are cooperating again for food. Isn't that a normal thing?"

"Alright, it's getting late. The honey badger has been waiting here for so long, you should hurry up and set off."

Before Sun Zhongwen and Zheng Yunnan could speak, the honey badger and the honey harpy standing next to the car had already started to call out.

A bird and a beast set off together, heading out into the world.

They hadn't gone far when the black SUV they were in slowly caught up.

Although the SUV kept a distance from them, for some reason, as long as the SUV was behind them, no matter what happened, they felt incredibly safe.

The honeyfly has already taken to mid-air to search for the wild bee's nest.

With nothing to do, the honey badger wandered around the area, hoping to find something else to eat.

As a result, he had only run a short distance ahead when suddenly, he felt an inexplicable chill surge up into his body.

Alarm bells rang in his mind, and he instinctively turned to run.

Before he could leave, he suddenly heard some sparse noises.

Sun Zhongwen and Zheng Yunnan also looked up.

All I could see were four African wild dogs, panting heavily, charging towards me menacingly.

Their target was the honey badger that had led them here, which was not far away!
Sun Zhongwen and Zheng Yunnan: ...

Help!

Is it this exciting right from the start?!
