Zhang Wang was shocked when he heard the news. Mary was already sixty-two years old, which was considered old for an elephant, and an injury to her would be fatal.

"What happened?"

"A herd of stray male elephants appeared and fought with Mary's family for water. Mary fought back and was stabbed in the abdomen by an elephant's tusk. Mary's daughters joined forces and drove several of the male elephants away. Mary is currently surrounded by the herd, and we have been looking for a long time but still can't see the extent of her injury."

They looked through binoculars, but the elephants had Mary completely enveloped, making it impossible to see the extent of her injuries.

Upon hearing this news, Zhang Wang became very worried. He grabbed two sets of clothes, went downstairs, and drove into the grassland. It was over a thousand kilometers away, and it would take him all night to get there.

Zhang Wang ran to a roadside supermarket, bought a few watermelons, filled up the gas tank at a gas station, and then sped off towards the national park.

……

Grassland, night.

Only after the bleeding from Grandma Mary's abdomen stopped did Lan Xiaoxiao dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

"My mouth tastes so bitter," Lan Xiaoxiao said. She had just chewed some herbs and applied them to Grandma Mary's injured abdomen.

That's right, Little Blue, the baby elephant, knows a little about herbs.

She took Chu Yi to find some herbs to stop the bleeding, chewed them up, and applied them to Mary's stomach. The bleeding stopped.

The entire elephant herd was breathing very lightly; it was clear that everyone was very worried about Mary.

Mary is a super reliable elephant; her bravery makes everyone forget that she is already 62 years old.

Elephants typically live to be 60 to 70 years old, with some reaching 80.

Lan Xiaoxiao hopes that Grandma Mary can get through this and that she will never let it rush to the front to fight again.

Mary sensed the children's worry and sadness, and touched each of them with her nose.

That night, all the elephants surrounded Mary as she slept.

Throughout the night, Lan Xiaoxiao occasionally got up to check on Grandma Mary's wound. It had stopped bleeding and there were no signs of inflammation, which was good news.

The next morning, as the sun rose slightly, it cast long shadows on the grassland, glistening with dew.

In just half an hour, the sweltering air filled the grassland.

That's how it is during the dry season.

Baboons leaped among the trees, while giraffes ate leaves.

The elephants all stood up, but Mary was still lying on the ground, and everyone was very worried.

Chu Yi went to check on Mary's wound and turned to Lan Xiaoxiao, saying, "Baby, if there were human medicine, it would definitely heal faster."

I still remember when I was a panda, I was rescued by humans, and the medicine they gave me was especially effective.

Lan Xiaoxiao looked at the sunlight in the distance: "They will definitely tell Zhang Wang what happened yesterday. I wonder if Zhang Wang will come back after his vacation or immediately."

First-year student: "He'll definitely be back soon; he cares a lot about the elephant herd."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the sound of a jeep approaching came from behind.

It's just a few kilometers away.

A dozen minutes later, Zhang Wang's car came into view.

Zhang Wang dared not approach the elephant herd because he was only familiar with two baby elephants, and the other elephants were not familiar with him.

Now that Mary is injured, if he gets close, the elephant herd will definitely panic.

The jeep stopped, and Zhang Wang leaned out of the window holding a packet of medicine, calling out, "Xiao Xiao, Chu Yi!"

Lan Xiaoxiao has excellent eyesight and immediately noticed that the bag contained medicine.

Humans are so kind!

Good people are safe for their lives!

Lan Xiaoxiao immediately ran over.

Chu Yi, with her long legs, ran even faster, overtaking Lan Xiaoxiao, and said, "Baby, you wait here, I'll go get it."

"it is good."

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he ran to the jeep, hooked the bag in Zhang Wang's hand with his nose, and then turned and ran back.

Zhang Wang's heart pounded. The sunlight was blinding, and the elephant's galloping figure was just a silhouette. He raised his hand to shield his eyes from the sun, deeply moved.

Sure enough, Xiaoxiao and Chuyi are different elephants; they understand everything.

When Chu Yi brought the medicine back, Lan Xiaoxiao carefully read the labels. There were disinfectants, topical antibiotics that were effective for treating festering and inflamed wounds, and medicines to help wounds heal, all of which were topical.

Lan Xiaoxiao and Chu Yi worked together, first cleaning Mary's stomach with disinfectant, then sprinkling various medicinal powders on it—perfect!

The other elephants watched curiously, occasionally asking questions, but when the baby said that this could save Grandma, the other elephants wished they could climb up and help with their trunks.

Mary was in good spirits. Watching her granddaughter bustling around and seeing everyone's concern and anxiety, she emitted a soothing tone.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

That frequency was so gentle and kind, soothing the entire elephant herd.

The eldest daughter, Angie, is forty-eight years old, but she still responds to her mother like a little elephant.

The smallest elephant is Lan Xiaoxiao, who is clinging to Grandma Mary, saying, "Grandma, get well soon."

With the medicine Zhang Wang brought, we'll see results in a day or two. The wound is healing, and everything will be fine!

Then another small herd of elephants arrived. Although they did not violently fight for the water source, they simply came closer to drink and seemed to be settling down.

However, this water source is only enough to support a herd of elephants for one month.

If another elephant herd joins, both herds will have to migrate away after half a month.

Mary should rest for a month before leaving.

So, Angie and her sisters drove away the elephant herd, which then monopolized the water source.

Lan Xiaoxiao and Chu Yi watched over Mary's wound every day, applying medicine and taking care of it. The wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zhang Wang also looked through the binoculars every day, and felt more at ease each day.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness you're alright."

If the patriarch of an elephant herd leaves, the herd will tend to be depressed for up to six months.

Zhang Wangzhen couldn't bear to see this scene and hoped it would happen later.

Under the scorching sun, even the baboons in the trees seemed listless, and animals could be seen lying and sleeping in the shady spots of the grassland.

Lan Xiaoxiao and Chu Yi walked to the Jeep and knocked on the window.

Zhang Wang opened the window, and two noses stuck in, grabbed his arm, and shook it.

"Is this a way of expressing gratitude?" Zhang Wang asked, sticking his head out.

Lan Xiaoxiao grinned and flicked her nose.

Zhang Wang felt a warmth in his heart: "You're welcome. I'm happy to be able to help you."

After thanking them, the two baby elephants prepared to go back.

Zhang Wang suddenly called out to them, "Wait a minute, I have a surprise for you."

Two elephants turned their heads.

Zhang Wang rummaged around in the car for a while, then suddenly held up a green, round object.

"Ta-da~" Zhang Wang said, making his own voiceover, "Never seen this before? This is called west..."

Two elephant trunks reached out and snatched the watermelon away in a flash!

Zhang Wang hadn't even finished explaining when someone interrupted, "Don't be in such a hurry, I haven't explained how to eat it yet."

Lan Xiaoxiao stomped it open with her foot, hooked a piece of red meat with her nose and stuffed it into Chu Yi's mouth, then immediately hooked another piece and stuffed it into her own mouth.

So sweet!

Who hasn't seen a watermelon?

No need for you to explain.

I haven't eaten watermelon in years, it's so delicious.

Zhang Wang, peering out the window, asked in bewilderment, "How did you know it was edible? You took it so decisively, and ate it so decisively. Have you ever seen a watermelon? There are no wild watermelons on the African savanna."
