I became incredibly cute after dressing up as an animal!

Two herds of elephants arrived at a water source at the same time, and both wanted to settle down nearby, instantly making the area around the small pond lively.

More than twenty elephants were lingering in the vicinity.

With such a large elephant population, the area around the pond was quickly trampled into mud.

This is tough on the baby elephant...

Lan Xiaoxiao still doesn't quite know how to drink water through her nose; she has to lie down in the water and slurp it up with her mouth.

Lan Xiaoxiao was half asleep when she went to get water with everyone. She stepped into the mud and couldn't pull her foot out!

My foot is stuck!

"Eek!"

Lan Xiaoxiao regained consciousness and struggled, but her four feet sank deeper and deeper.

Looking up, I saw Chu Yi rushing over to help.

All around were elephants, and the elephants from the opposite family were also looking over.

In an instant, elephants, both familiar and unfamiliar, charged from all directions.

Another family of elephants rushed over to try and save the baby elephant.

Damn it!

Baby is so embarrassed, sob sob.

Chu Yi grabbed Lan Xiaoxiao by the nose, trying to pull her out of the mud pit, but only managed to budge her a little.

"This place is all swampy from all this walking, ugh, I'm so embarrassed, I'm in the first year of junior high."

"Don't be afraid, it's not shameful." Chu Yi's voice was very gentle.

Grandma Mary used her nose to hold Blue Little's belly and pulled it upwards with force.

An'an's mother and Aunt Anna used their noses to pull up Lan Xiaoxiao's exposed leg parts!

It has to be the elephant's strength that pulled the baby elephant out at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Chu Yi helped Lan Xiaoxiao walk out, supporting her nose.

Lan Xiaoxiao kept calling out, feeling extremely aggrieved.

Chu Yi comforted her, and An An's mother also comforted her with heartache: "Baby, don't cry. It's all Mommy's fault for not seeing the mud was rotten."

Actually, Lan Xiaoxiao wasn't that sad. She was just a little grumpy when she woke up, and then she got caught in the mud by so many elephants.

Lan Xiaoxiao walked to An'an's legs and drank milk in big gulps.

The baby elephant's cries were so pitiful and adorable that the other elephants adored it, emitting comforting sounds all day long and playing with it.

Lan Xiaoxiao even heard the elephant from the opposite family making a soothing sound.

Elephants don't have much of a territorial sense, so the two herds can get along well together in this small pond.

Elephants live in family units, in a matriarchal society, and are highly intelligent and emotionally sensitive animals.

Therefore, they occasionally interact with other elephant herds, especially with baby elephants, whether they are from their own family or other families, showing them care and affection.

"I just got stuck in the mud, and I think I saw them rushing over to save me," Lan Xiaoxiao whispered to Chu Yi.

At first glance, he looked at the elephants and said, "I was watching you the whole time, but I didn't notice."

"Elephants are really gentle animals."

As long as you don't provoke them.

The area around the pond was too muddy for Lan Xiaoxiao to drink water; she would sink in and be unable to get out.

Lan Xiaoxiao plans to start drinking milk in the next few days.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, looking at the blazing sun overhead and then at the muddy puddles, I felt a surge of emotion.

While other elephants had to wade through the mud to drink water.

On the first day of the lunar month, they blocked an opening, preventing other elephants from passing through!

When a baby elephant blocks the way, the main elephant will affectionately walk around it and go in the other direction.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, a doorway was blocked like this, and whenever someone wanted to go to get water, it would be blocked there.

Lan Xiaoxiao understood: "As long as no other elephants trample on this small path, it will dry in a day or two in this hot weather, and then I can walk on it."

Chu Yi pointed her nose: "They can walk on the other side as they please, this one is specially for you."

Lan Xiaoxiao was overjoyed and snuggled up to Chu Yi, saying, "My boyfriend is so smart."

The first-year student likes to be praised for being smart. It hopes to be smarter than the smartest animal, humans, so that it can understand a lot of things.

In the first year of junior high, I often felt that its little cutie was very human-like in some ways, such as its thinking and knowledge reserves. The little cutie knew a lot.

The sun hadn't even dried the little path that belonged to the elephant.

The baby elephants from the neighboring herd also got stuck in the mud!

The two herds of elephants each occupy one side of the pool.

At that moment, on the other side of the pool, a baby elephant was stuck in the mud, very deep.

It screamed in fright and struggled violently.

The more it struggled, the deeper it sank, until soon only half of its face was sticking out, and mud and water filled its mouth.

The baby elephant was terrified, and the other elephants rushed to its rescue.

Even Grandma Mary couldn't resist going over to help, but the family's elephants had formed a circle, and it couldn't get in.

Rescuing this baby elephant was more difficult; it kept crying and screaming, and we couldn't pull it out even after several minutes.

Lan Xiaoxiao and Chu Yi peeked out and, through a group of thick legs, could vaguely see the baby elephant completely covered in mud.

Lan Xiaoxiao: "..."

Actually, she didn't think she was that ashamed.

The commotion was so loud that many herbivores and carnivores of all sizes around peeked out to see what was going on.

The tree canopy, with baboons leaping overhead.

A pack of hunting dogs passed by, and I turned my head to look.

Lan Xiaoxiao: ? ? ? Are all animals this gossipy?

The rescue operation was still underway, with various elephants using their trunks to try and retrieve the baby elephant. The sounds of elephants calling out could be heard everywhere, indicating that the situation was very urgent.

Mary's family also became anxious and paced around the perimeter.

Half an hour later, the baby elephant next door was finally rescued.

It was covered in mud, its ears were pressed against its head, its four legs were trembling, and it was making a shrill, agonizing sound from its throat, which made people cry.

Its mother used her trunk to scrape the mud off its body bit by bit, and the baby elephant would tremble with each scrape.

It was probably because too many eyes were watching it that it simply buried its head between its mother's legs, stuck its bottom out, and refused to come out again.

Lan Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh; she wasn't the only one who cared about her image!

A series of sharp cries came from the treetops. Several baboons were perched on the branches of the acacia tree, their mouths wide open, revealing their pink gums.

Lan Xiaoxiao looked up and said, "If you're going to watch the show, then watch it. Why are you laughing so loudly? That's rude!"

This baboon is making fun of the baby elephant, and the other baboons are even clapping! Primates are really something else, huh?

That baboon was laughing way too loudly!

The baby elephant from the opposite family tucked its bottom in, its entire body squeezed under its mother's belly.

As an elephant, Lan Xiaoxiao felt like her own child had been mocked, so she swung her trunk and spit air at the trees!

"You guys are so annoying!"

The baby next to her looked up at the baboon in the tree. It slowly walked to the tree and bumped its body against the trunk.

Elephants are very fond of their babies. If they notice that the baboons in the trees are unhappy, they will mindlessly follow them and crash into the trees to drive them away.

The baboon in the tree stopped laughing, quickly jumped away, and ran off.

……

On the first day of the lunar month, the elephants were kept in their way, forbidden from stepping on this path when drinking water, but allowed to step on other places freely.

With the first elephant blocking the way, no elephants passed by.

The sun shines on the mud, and the Masai Mara grasslands are extremely dry during the dry season. After a day in the sun, the edges begin to turn white and crack.

Chu Yi gently touched Lan Xiaoxiao with her nose: "Baby, you can step over there to drink water tomorrow."

The next morning, Lan Xiaoxiao was woken up by Chu Yi touching her nose.

It turned out that the elephant herd had all gotten up and gone to the pond to drink water.

She groggily opened her eyes and said softly, "The road is dry." She pointed towards the narrow path and said, "Look."

Lan Xiaoxiao stood up and shook herself to wake herself up.

Even without Chu Yi's interference, the elephants of the Mary family would no longer follow this path, completely going along with the child.

Lan Xiaoxiao was traumatized, especially after the neighbor's little elephant took half an hour to dig out.

She stepped onto it, carefully taking each step, afraid of sinking in.

"Don't be afraid, I went to walk by the pond as soon as I got up. I'm heavier than you, so I won't sink." Chu Yi got up early and went to the pond by himself to test it.

Hearing this, Lan Xiaoxiao was instantly relieved.

Sure enough, the mud was hard; when I stepped on it, it only left shallow marks and I didn't sink in.

She walked to the water's edge, squatted down, and instinctively tried to sip the water with her mouth, but unfortunately, her nose fell into the water first. She couldn't help but inhale, and water filled her nose!

Finding that she wasn't choking, she inhaled, slowly rolled it up, and brought it into her mouth. The water flowed down her nasal passages into her throat, and she gulped it down.

She paused for a second, then took another sip, rolled it up, and put it in her mouth.

Lan Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she held up her nose: "Chu Yi! Did you see that?"

"Look! Our baby can drink water through his nose now, that's amazing!" Chu Yi exclaimed happily, his eyes full of doting affection.

Lan Xiaoxiao happily raised her trunk and rushed back to the center of the elephant herd, stood in front of Chief Mary, and then put her trunk into her mouth, excitedly exclaiming, "Grandma, I can drink water now!"

Mary affectionately patted her little nose.

Lan Xiaoxiao immediately ran to her mother, and An'an bowed her head to touch hers, saying, "Baby, you're so great."

Lan Xiaoxiao showed off everywhere and received a lot of praise.

"You are the world's fastest baby elephant to learn to drink water through its trunk."

"You're amazing, baby. I was a month behind you when I was little."

After finishing her water, Lan Xiaoxiao squeezed her nose against Chu Yi's and asked, "When did you learn to use your nose? I learned at five months, isn't that amazing?"

She didn't walk properly, always leaning against Chu Yi and crowding him, causing Chu Yi, who was originally walking in a straight line, to veer off course.

"You'll learn it in five months and ten days, I'll learn it three days later than you."

"You can remember it so clearly! That's amazing!"

Lan Xiaoxiao was overjoyed. She learned to use her nose even before the first-year junior high students. She was the best baby.

At first glance, seeing her happy, a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes. It's normal to tell a little white lie to make your partner happy.

With this special path for the baby elephants to drink water, the baby elephants next door, who hadn't had water for days and were traumatized by getting stuck in the mud, were eager to try it out.

Lan Xiaoxiao and Chu Yi saw it, but did not chase it away.

The baby elephant stepped onto the dry path, successfully drank water, and happily called out.

A baby's happiness is that simple.

The baby elephant knew whose path it was following.

After passing by several times and finding that the other party did not drive me away, I became more and more confident and bolder.

Even when Lan Xiaoxiao and Chu Yi were playing together, it kept looking at them with longing eyes, and then slowly moved over, wanting to play together.

The baby elephant drew closer and closer, until it was only a few dozen meters away.

Chu Yi stood up, walked between Lan Xiaoxiao and the little elephant, turned his body slightly to the side, opened his ears, and blocked the middle.

Lan Xiaoxiao: "..."

This scene looks so familiar.

Isn't this just like in the dog park, where the golden retriever DouDou wanted to play with her, and ChuYi deliberately stood in the middle?

The baby elephant was completely oblivious to Chu Yi's displeasure and kept walking forward.

On the first day of the lunar month, it raised its nose as a warning.

The baby elephant froze, looked at Chu Yi for a moment, and then ran back to its mother's belly in fright!

Lan Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at Chu Yi: "Why did you scare it?"

Chu Yi lowered his ears and said in a flat voice, "It doesn't know you, why is it coming over?"

"First year of junior high, what a stingy person."

The first-year student accepted the nickname: "Yeah, I'm the stingiest."

It's stingy when it comes to cute things!

The stinginess of a first-year junior high student manifests in every aspect; they are extremely possessive.

Lan Xiaoxiao wasn't bothered by this, because the first year of junior high school was relatively relaxed and didn't completely control her; in fact, they often went along with her wishes.

For example, when she took the initiative to go and play with the little elephant across the street, no one in the first year of junior high school would stop her at all.

A few days later, the little elephant across the street became their little follower, playing around with Lan Xiaoxiao and Chu Yi every day.

To be precise, both the little elephant and the first-year student were Lan Xiaoxiao's little followers.

Except for going back to sleep at night, taking a nap, and drinking milk, the baby elephants come over to play with them at other times.

In a corner where Lan Xiaoxiao couldn't see, Chu Yi would occasionally shoo the little elephant away with his eyes, warning it not to stick to Lan Xiaoxiao.

The baby elephant could only keep its distance and dared not get close to the beautiful baby elephant, not even managing to hook its trunk with its own.

……

In the afternoon, under the hot sun, a group of elephants lay in the shade of a tree taking a nap.

Little Lan's head rested on An'an's belly, her eyes open, her ears occasionally flapping.

The elephants around were all asleep. Chief Mary lay on her side, her trunk dangling to the ground, her breathing long and heavy.

Angie's head rested against Anlin's back, while Anna's leg was pressed against her nose.

Even in the first year of junior high, he kept his eyes closed.

Teenagers are full of energy and can't fall asleep during their afternoon nap.

Lan Xiaoxiao touched Chu Yi's ear with her nose: "I can't sleep."

When it opened its eyes on the first day of the lunar new year, everything was clear and bright. It hadn't fallen asleep either: "Baby, you need to sleep more to grow bigger."

Lan Xiaoxiao looked at him expectantly: "I can't sleep, I want to go out and play."

Chu Yi glanced at her, stood up, and Lan Xiaoxiao followed suit.

Two baby elephants crept along the edge of the herd, quietly taking a few steps without disturbing any of the elephants.

They ran over a hundred meters to play.

The grass here is very tall, reaching above Lan Xiaoxiao's knees.

She walked in front, and Chu Yi followed behind her, her tail gently brushing the tips of the grass.

Lan Xiaoxiao used her nose to push aside the grass in front of her, occasionally rolling up a tender leaf to taste it, chewing it a couple of times before spitting it out.

I followed behind her, watching her back, and felt very comfortable.

They were like that when they were pandas; wherever the bear cubs went, they would follow.

Sure enough, as long as they don't take a nap, they're happy just walking around on the grass; kids just can't stay still.

After walking for about ten minutes, the bushes ahead rustled. Lan Xiaoxiao stopped, squinted, and looked over. Suddenly, two heads popped out of the bushes—it was a hyena!

They were grayish-brown, with round, short ears and slightly open mouths revealing jagged teeth. They were two hyenas, quite large, like wolves.

When watching Animal World on a screen, hyenas seem small because their reference points are lions and elephants.

In reality, it's quite large.

The two hyenas had bright black eyes, staring at this side, with a trace of drool dripping from the corner of their mouths.
