I became incredibly cute after dressing up as an animal!

The mountain road was completely destroyed by the mudslide. The original path was gone, and the road was a mess, making it impossible to tell which way to go.

Relying on his memory of the terrain, Xiao Zhang led Lan Xiaoxiao over a mountain ridge and down into a river valley.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lan Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped and her ears twitched.

There are people talking ahead.

It wasn't just one person, it was several people.

The sound came from down the hillside; someone was calling out names, and there was the buzzing of a walkie-talkie.

Xiao Zhang heard it too. He braced himself on the ground with a stick and shouted in the direction of the sound, "Here!!"

He shouted twice but then ran out of strength. He squatted down, panting.

Lan Xiaoxiao was faster than him. She ran dozens of meters in the direction of the sound, stood on a rock, and shouted loudly down the hillside, "Baa!!!"

Those people were startled when they heard that.

"Is that a panda's cry?"

"That's not normal; it's roaring so loudly."

"Did something happen to the panda? Since we're already here, let's go check on it."

A few minutes later, the footsteps grew closer, and a person emerged from behind the bushes.

He wore a dark green patrol uniform, carried a large bag on his back, and had a machete and satellite phone at his waist. He had dark skin, gray hair, and wrinkles on his face that looked like they had been blown out by the mountain wind.

"Eek!"

Lan Xiaoxiao recognized him; it was patrolman Guo Feng! He had previously done a live broadcast from the center, and both the bear and the bear had met through a glass wall.

Guo Feng has a keen eye; even though Lan Xiaoxiao is completely filthy, he can still recognize her by her face and eyes.

"Lan Xiao".

He paused for a moment, then saw Xiao Zhang squatting on the hillside.

"Xiao Zhang!"

Guo Feng ran over: "Finally found you!" He squatted down, "Are you injured?"

Xiao Zhang pointed to his leg with a wry smile: "It seems pretty serious."

"It's so swollen, it's broken." Guo Feng put down his backpack, took out bandages and a splint, and quickly but steadily treated Xiao Zhang, then asked, "What's Lan Xiao doing here?"

"Uncle, you have such good eyesight, you recognized it at a glance," Xiao Zhang joked. "We were swept away by the mudslide, and Lan Xiao rescued me."

Lan Xiaoxiao squatted down beside him, watching Guo Feng treat Xiao Zhang's wound.

She pulled Xiao Zhang out of the mudslide and accompanied him for such a long way; now, finally, someone has taken over.

Xiao Zhang's foot was secured, and Guo Feng helped him stand up. Xiao Zhang turned around and glanced at Lan Xiaoxiao.

"Uncle Guo," Xiao Zhang said, "Chu Yi is missing. He was swept away by the mudslide. Lan Xiao is very worried."

Guo Feng followed Xiao Zhang's gaze and looked at the panda.

Lan Xiaoxiao looked at Guo Feng, then at Xiao Zhang's feet, turned around, and walked back the way she came.

"Lan Xiao!" Xiao Zhang called out.

Lan Xiaoxiao stopped and looked back at him.

Xiao Zhang opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he only said, "Don't worry, we'll find Chu Yi."

Lan Xiaoxiao looked at him for two seconds, then turned and left.

Guo Feng watched the mud-monkey-like figure disappear behind the bushes, then pulled out his satellite phone from his waist and dialed a number.

"Hello, Professor Xu? We've found Xiao Zhang. He has a broken leg, but he's okay. Also, we just learned that Chu Yi was swept away by a mudslide and is missing. Lan Xiao is with us and is fine. It's gone back up the mountain to look for Chu Yi now."

I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone.

Guo Feng said, "The person has been found, so in principle the rescue team doesn't need to continue going up the mountain, but I would like to ask everyone to help look for Chu Yi."

After the phone call ended.

Guo Feng made another call to the other patrolmen, giving them the coordinates. "Okay, look around that muddy area, watch out for footprints. Be careful too, the weather forecast says it will rain again in an hour."

Guo Feng helped Xiao Zhang down the mountain, but Xiao Zhang was reluctant to walk: "I'll wait for the rescue team here. Could you, a few of you patrolmen, please follow Lan Xiaojin and search around here, since you know this area well..."

Lan Xiao's departing figure looked so pitiful.

It saved people, but they didn't care about it, and Xiao Zhang felt very guilty.

"Finding and rescuing giant pandas is our job. I just told my colleague to follow Lan Xiao. I'm handing you over to the rescue team, and I'll head into the mountains right away."

Hearing the correct answer, Xiao Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The rescue team arrived quickly. Several people picked up Xiao Zhang and took him down the mountain. The ambulance was already waiting at the mountain pass, while the rest of the people followed Guo Feng into the mountain.

Dozens of people were divided into several groups, each led by a ranger, and searched upwards along the area swept by the mudslide.

Lan Xiaoxiao heard the sounds of various humans in the mountains and forests, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Someone spotted Lan Xiaoxiao, covered in mud, from afar and exclaimed, "Found her! Look, there's a bear over there!"

Lan Xiaoxiao heard this and said, "..."

The patrolman took a look and said helplessly, "That's Lan Xiao..."

"Huh?" The rescue team member awkwardly touched his nose, then continued the search.

Lan Xiaoxiao stood on the edge of the mudflat, panting, her whole body covered in mud, and her feet covered in a layer of dried blood and mud mixture.

When someone gets close to her, she just grunts in response.

The sound wasn't loud, but everyone heard it.

Guo Feng wasn't there; he escorted Xiao Zhang down the mountain.

The team was led by another patrolman, a man who was also the leader. He was taciturn, walked up to Lan Xiaoxiao, squatted down, and asked, "Are you hurt anywhere?"

Lan Xiaoxiao tilted her head and then lifted her foot.

The ranger was not surprised by the animal's intelligence and understanding, because he believed that many animals possess a kind of spirituality.

He took out saline solution, sprayed it onto the panda's paw, and soon saw a wound. He disinfected and applied medicine to the panda.

"Don't step in the mud, let's walk to a dry place."

Lan Xiaoxiao felt that although he looked fierce, he was very gentle.

"You'll definitely find your partner," the ranger said.

Lan Xiaoxiao followed the rescue team, and when the rescue team ate dry rations, they also fed her some.

……

The giant panda, covered in mud, descended the mountain at top speed, and along the way, Chu Yi could smell a strong human scent.

It had been running for a long time and was very tired, but it dared not delay.

Finally, it saw the white road below, with many vehicles parked there and many people.

The first-year student didn't understand why there were so many people and cars, but when it saw humans, it knew there was hope.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, covered in mud, a huge bear appeared on the road. A man who had just gotten out of his car to smoke a cigarette saw it at first glance and his legs went weak, screaming, "There's...there's a bear!"

Everyone else looked over immediately upon hearing this.

Professor Xu rushed out immediately: "Don't move! Get back in the car!"

Upon seeing Professor Xu, Chu Yi immediately recognized him as a human and rushed over, grabbing Professor Xu's trouser leg and pulling him to the side of the road.

"Ouch!" Professor Xu was also quite frightened, but he realized that the bear wasn't pulling him randomly, it was just dragging him along, and it didn't seem to have any intention of biting him at all, it was just biting some of the fabric.

Professor Xu adjusted his glasses and looked down: "First year of junior high?"
