Chapter 133 Appeasement

The singing was melodious.

The snow leopard tensed up instinctively when it heard the tune.

That one moment made the sheriff's heart leap into his throat.

But the snow leopard's next move surprised everyone.

It slowly lowered its attack stance, and the roar in its throat turned into an extremely weak whimper.

It tentatively took a small step forward, but instead of opening its gaping maw, it tilted its enormous head like a child who had been lost for many years, staring intently at Lu Fang's face.

"Chief Lingrui, this is Chief Lingrui's favorite song. Chief Lingrui, I miss you so much. I'm in so much pain. Did you come to help me?"

Lu Fang's face kept changing in its eyes, finally settling into the shape of a snow leopard.

That was Ling Rui, the snow leopard that Teacher Lu Fang had rescued many years ago.

"Reporting to the deputy director, the snow leopard has now moved out of the bushes, and shooting conditions are favorable. Shall we fire?"

A clear female voice came through the walkie-talkie.

"Don't worry, the situation seems a bit unusual right now." Wu Que's heart was in his throat.

He never dreamed that the lullaby Lu Fang hummed would actually soothe the snow leopard.

Who exactly is this guy?

Since arriving at Yanling City Wildlife Park, these snow leopards have been extremely difficult to communicate with and unruly, forcing them to change several keepers. Why are they so frighteningly docile here with Lu Fang?

Could it be because of singing?

Wu Que stared intently at Lu Fang, somewhat hesitant. Should they arrange music lessons for all the zookeepers? Perhaps it would have a surprising effect.

"No, the snow leopard has really calmed down!"

The staff member next to Wu Que was obviously very knowledgeable about animals. Judging from the snow leopard's movements, it was not difficult to tell that its condition was much better than before.

Who would have thought that just moments ago you were mocking someone, only to be slapped in the face the next second?

"I've told you not to judge a book by its cover. Since they made this request, they must be confident," Wu Que said matter-of-factly. "Hurry up and arrange for a veterinarian to come to the scene. Although the little guy's emotions have stabilized, his physical condition is very poor. We absolutely cannot allow anything else to happen."

"Okay!" The staff didn't dare to delay and immediately started making contact.

"No, Lu Fang, what song are you humming? Does it really work?"

The scene before him left the sheriff completely stunned.

It knew that Lu Fang was very successful in communicating with animals, but it didn't expect him to be this good.

I just hummed a song and that's it!

Its gaze toward Lu Fang held a hint of admiration.

Xu Yi, standing to the side, secretly opened her eyes a crack, gazing at the snow leopard lying on the ground in front of her, her eyes sparkling once more.

Brother Fang is amazing!

"Brother Fang, how did you do that?"

She nestled in Lu Fang's arms and asked softly.

"It was just a lucky break." Lu Fang patted her head. "I'm a veterinarian, and my college advisor used to do wildlife rescue work. A long time ago, he rescued a snow leopard and hummed this song to it to calm it down. I tried it, and it actually worked."

"Sergeant, try to communicate with it. Tell it that I was sent by Ling Rui to help it, and that its condition is stable now, so it should be easier to communicate with it."

"Alright." The sheriff perked up and started trying to communicate with the snow leopard again.

After being soothed by the song, the snow leopard's spirits were noticeably more stable. After hearing the sheriff's words, it hesitated for a moment, looked at Lu Fang, twitched its ears, and took a few more steps outside.

With the combined effect of the sheriff's reassurance and the local folk song, the snow leopard finally lowered its guard completely, no longer harboring any doubts.

It seemed to have exhausted all its strength, collapsing helplessly onto the asphalt road, panting heavily.

As it moved, large patches of blood spread out from beneath it.

Although the snow leopard was no longer a threat, Lu Fang remained cautious.

"Xiaoyi, listen to me." Lu Fang didn't turn around, his voice steady and firm. "Now, slowly back away and walk towards the security guards. Don't run."

Xu Yi knew that the danger was not completely over yet, and that Lu Fang's actions were for her own good.

She didn't argue, but gave him a look and then followed his instructions to back away little by little until she was pulled into the safety line by the staff who rushed up.

After confirming that Xu Yi was safe, Lu Fang finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Instead of leaving, he took two steps closer to the snow leopard.

He crouched down, his gaze quickly locking onto the snow leopard's belly.

It was a long gash, and blood had stained the hair red, so it looked like it had been cut by some sharp weapon.

It looks a bit like the wire on a barbed wire fence.

He leaned closer to get a better look. The snow leopard instinctively sat up, but as the song came, it ultimately chose to trust Lu Fang and lay down again.

The wound was more serious than he had anticipated.

The rusty, aged wire mesh not only tore through the skin and flesh but also severed part of the abdominal wall muscle layer, exposing a small section of bright red intestine to the air.

As the snow leopard breathed rapidly, blood gushed out in streams.

"Excessive blood loss necessitates immediate intervention to stop the bleeding." Lu Fang made a grave judgment quickly.

Immediately afterwards, an emergency vehicle with a green cross painted on it screeched to a stop on the side of the road.

Several zoo veterinarians carrying large first-aid kits rushed down, sweating profusely, and two of them even pushed a stretcher.

For ordinary animals, a crate is sufficient, but for large animals like snow leopards, a stretcher is definitely necessary.

"Hurry up and examine it!" The old veterinarian gasped when he saw the snow leopard's appearance and immediately ordered the other veterinarians to begin the diagnosis.

"There's a wound on his abdomen, possibly from being cut by barbed wire, causing severe bleeding. He needs immediate hemostasis and pain relief, but his mental state is currently quite good." Lu Fang quickly relayed the available information, prompting the old veterinarian to give him another look.

Good lad! He remained calm in the face of such a ferocious beast and was even able to analyze the situation. What a promising talent!

"Who are you?" Hua Songnian asked.

"I'm a tourist and also a veterinarian. It needs surgery now," Lu Fang said methodically.

"Quickly, prepare a hemostatic bandage, and give him an injection to calm him down and relieve pain!" Hua Songnian glanced at it and came to a similar conclusion as Lu Fang. For more detailed information, they would have to go into the operating room.

At this moment, Vice President Wu Que also arrived, with a middle-aged man standing beside him. This man was Shen Zhao, the director of Yanling City Zoo, who had rushed back from the city.

When he saw that the snow leopard was still alive and no one was injured, he breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at Lu Fang with eyes full of gratitude.

"Young man, thank you so much for today."
