Those Years I Opened a Zoo

Lu Ya stared at Duan Jiaze sternly, and said, "Don't imitate Kunpeng!"

Duan Jiaze: "..."

Alas, I always feel that the focus is a bit wrong.

Seeing Duan Jiaze jumping up, Lu Ya wanted to pull him to sit down.

Duan Jiaze refused, so Lu Ya pulled him hard and lay on top of him.

Hong Huang's life in the early years was very cruel, people's thinking was not that complicated, and so was Lu Ya, he had instincts, and as soon as Duan Jiaze lay on top of him, he subconsciously wanted to push Duan Jiaze down again.

Duan Jiaze blushed even more, and he was already in the posture of straddling Lu's legs, "Then I'll sit beside you."

Lu Ya subconsciously said: "I think this is not bad..."

Duan Jiaze: "..."

It was actually the first time for Duan Jiaze, "You, you want to be harmonized like this."

Lu Ya is both innocent and arrogant: "I don't care."

Duan Jiaze: "..."

At this time, a person suddenly stood up next to him, it was Kunpeng who was holding a stack of diapers in his hand, and he who had been forgotten for a long time said calmly: "I'll go take out the trash."

Duan Jiaze almost had a heart attack: "..."

Lu Ya: "..."

-

Two or thirty years ago, technology was not so advanced, Chinese people had few entertainment methods, zoo business was much easier to do, and the way to make business better was to invite or start a circus by yourself.

This approach has continued to this day.Under the situation that the relevant departments vigorously promoted the banning of animal performances in zoos this year, many zoos canceled this project and terminated their contracts with circuses.

The Luqing Circus is one of them. They mainly perform wild animals, and also have some acrobats. They used to be stationed in a zoo in a second-tier city. Now that their contract has expired, they have not renewed it.

Boss Lu of the Lu Qing Circus did not choose to rent another venue, but chose to "tour", taking his troupe to perform in other small cities, especially for some newly opened parks.If there is no circus in the local area, they are very popular with the organizers.

When the novelty wears off, change to another city.Boss Lu did this kind of performance more than 20 or [-] years ago, but at that time they didn't need to be attached to any organizers, they held a performance by themselves, and the guests came like a cloud, which was very popular.Later, for the sake of stability, we cooperated with the zoo.

Recently, the Luqing Circus received its first performance and went to a newly opened parent-child paradise in Donghai City, Dongzhou Province for a five-day performance.

After arriving there, Boss Lu communicated with the owner of the paradise, and the other party reminded Boss Lu that he should focus on acrobatics.

Boss Lu casually asked why.

The owner of the Paradise took a look at the listless tigers and bears in their cages, and said, "You don't know there is a zoo in East China Sea? Even if you make your bears do one hundred and eight somersaults, it can't compare to other zoos." It's a bug."

It is the newly opened insect garden in Lingyou, which has become popular recently. It stands to reason that the little girl is quite afraid of insects, but who made this insect garden spend a lot of money to design the appearance, but it is so cute.Moreover, there are also beautiful insects such as butterflies.

Boss Lu has vaguely heard about this zoo, and he heard it from the staff of the zoo where he was stationed before. He is over 50 this year, and he doesn't like surfing the Internet very much. He usually handles the affairs of the zoo.Hearing what the organizer said, he just smiled and didn't speak.

Boss Lu said that no matter how gimmick the zoo is, it doesn't look like they have rich experience.In their group, there are all large-scale animal performances, and they are very difficult and very entertaining. Ordinary zoos hold animal performances by themselves. At most, they are seals playing with balls and parrots counting.

I think back when Boss Lu performed in various places, there were exclamations from the citizens everywhere, and they loved the thrilling performance very much.

It takes years of hard work for an acrobat to practice, and the audience has suffered a lot.Those beast actors have to complete the performance on the stage, the same, and it can only be more difficult. They don't have the IQ of humans. They train animals and rely on strict training. How to do.

Before the performance day, Boss Lu inspected the backstage. The animal trainer was comforting the tiger who seemed restless in the new place. He ordered: "You must not make mistakes. Go and get familiar with it later. The venue is a new place. of."

The animal show tells the animal trainer, and the acrobatic show can be done directly with the actors. It's very simple. Needless to say, if anyone makes a mistake, the wages will be deducted.

After the contract with the zoo was terminated, a group of actors had already left, and those who stayed had no other way out. If they wanted to eat, they had to run around with Boss Lu.Therefore, Boss Lu's exhortation is very effective.

Boss Lu held back his energy, wanting to let the park owner see that they are worth the money, so that he can build a reputation and take on more performances.

……

During the actual performance, it was not as Boss Lu imagined.

The target group of the Parent-Child Paradise is children. Those who come here to play and watch performances are basically families, and there are many children.

In the acrobatic performance, the difficult movements attracted a lot of applause, but when it was the turn of the animals to perform, the atmosphere in the audience changed.

When urging animals to perform, animal trainers inevitably use some sticks and leather whips, and under their instructions, animals perform specified actions.It looks naive, the bear rides a bicycle, and the tiger goes through the ring of fire.

But the audience, from adults to children, all expressed hesitation, and the atmosphere froze.

This was not the scene in Boss Lu's mind. He frowned, wondering if the performance wasn't exciting enough, and the audience went from hesitation to discussion.

In the past two years, the stop of animal performances has been advocated. It is not surprising that the adults know that these children in Donghai City also watched the animal protection-themed shadow puppetry played by the Education Bureau for free, and there are scenes related to circus training.Therefore, they are really not easy to fool, but they have already established a concept at a young age.

Not to mention that Boss Lu didn't know that there was a very popular shadow puppet show in the local area, and even the organizers didn't realize the trend among children.But they could feel the atmosphere. Seeing that there were already children dragging adults out of the venue, they quickly asked Boss Lu to change the show.

Boss Lu had no choice but to let someone take the zoo off quickly. The animal trainer pulled the tiger who was still performing, and it hesitated a little, so he slapped it with a stick.

Now the audience in the audience was even more dissatisfied, "It's so pitiful..."

"It's too cruel to hit a tiger."

"I still like tigers in the zoo, fat ones."

"Let Sun Xiaohou beat him up!"

Boss Lu asked the animal trainer to hurry up with a dark face, and then quickly replaced it with an acrobat.

Even so, when doing research in the park later, many tourists also expressed that this project was too cruel, and their children did not come to see the bloody scenes.

Boss Lu felt very wronged, how could there be any blood, it was just moving the stick, how could such a big beast be injured all at once?If it doesn't hurt, then you won't be obedient!

The owner of the park also felt that it was inappropriate, but he didn't expect such a bad response, and told him not to join the beast show in the next few days.

Boss Lu is fighting for it. It's impossible. If his animals don't show up, the animal trainer won't get the money for the show, and he will protest.Moreover, feeding his animals is an expense every day. If he has no income, isn't he posting money?When I first signed the contract, I never said that I would change the program temporarily.

"That's because we didn't know your animal performances were so brutal, and we thought they were the same as the animals in the spirit park, just showing cute animal behavior." The owner of the park also quibbled.

It was just the second time Boss Lu heard Lingyuan from him, and he said angrily, "Then why don't you look for Lingyuan, and besides, you didn't tell us what your children like."

If he had known earlier, at worst, he would not be a bear or a tiger, but a few monkeys for a dance.But now it has caused a bad response, even monkeys are not allowed to dance.

The owner of the park thought to himself, we also want to find it, but people don’t play with it. “I’m sorry, but now some tourists have left us messages on the Internet to express their dissatisfaction. This really doesn’t match our positioning.”

Because the contract was not clear at the beginning, the two parties began to argue and argue.

Halfway through the fight, there was no need to fight anymore, because Boss Lu was arrested on the grounds that he was illegally transporting wild animals.

The owner of the paradise was frightened. Fortunately, he was not affected, but he also hurriedly drove the rest of the people out of the venue.It's just because of this turmoil that the number of tourists has dropped sharply. For a park that has just opened, no one came.People who don't know the truth think that something happened to their paradise.

The owner of the paradise didn't think it would break the law, he was looking for a regular circus.In the past, the Luqing Circus was stationed in a public zoo, and it also had a wild animal breeding certificate.How did he know that they also need to apply for transportation permits for animals when they perform in other places.

Because many beasts in the regiment are all zoos under the national first-level and second-level protection, this crime is not light. Not only will they have to pay a fine, but they will also have to sit for several years.

After further inquiring, how did the relevant departments with lax management in this area catch Lu Qing?It wasn't reported by the park next door!

There is a park near this parent-child paradise, and many merchants are stationed in it. Some of them raise a few ornamental animals, and there are also paid amusement facilities. It can be seen that the target group of everyone is similar, and there is no other reason. The boss got in.

They also raise animals. The owner of the park does not understand the relevant regulations, but they do.There are so many folk circuses with all kinds of documents in these days.

They are enemies. Unlike Haijiao Park and Lingyuan, they are located very far away, and there are not so many merchants in Haijiao Park. The two sides are now mutual achievements, and Tongxin Village next door will join in in the future.

The owner of the park suffered a terrible loss. He hated the people in the park and Mr. Lu, and he ignored the unfamiliar circus at all.

All the circus owners went in, and the rest of the people panicked, so they called Mrs. Lu's wife.They couldn't stop working all the time. They followed Boss Lu because they lacked money. If Boss Lu couldn't get out, they had to find their own way of life.

Boss Lu's wife couldn't do anything about it. When she went to pay the fine, she met Boss Lu and asked him what to do. She can't organize people. Acrobats can be dismissed. What about animals?

When mentioning animals, Boss Lu was in a daze, and then said after a while: "The times are different..."

After Boss Lu's wife came out, she dismissed all the actors. As for the remaining animals, she bit the bullet and went to the zoo in Donghai City and asked them if they could buy them.

The people from the city zoo shook their heads after looking at the animals. These animals have been trained since childhood, and their physical condition is extremely poor.

The city zoo doesn't want such animals, and other breeding units can do it. Boss Lu's wife didn't expect much at all, so she went to another zoo in Donghai City, Lingyuan Wildlife Park, just to buy one or two.

But to her ecstasy, Lingyuan bought all of them!

Although she was unwilling to pay a high price, for her, it would be good if she could get rid of these animals. The feeding fee would cost thousands of yuan a day. Without performances, keeping them for one day would be a loss.

Boss Lu's wife and Boss Lu reported the news. The money from selling animals can be used to hire a lawyer for Boss Lu.Boss Lu was stunned for a long time when he heard that the legendary Lingyuan Zoo actually bought their animals.

……

From the venue where there were not many people left in the Luqing Circus, the Lingyuan Zoo brought back more than a dozen animals here.

A black bear, a pair of tigers, a young Asian elephant, three lions, five macaques, and two horses are the animal assets of Luqing Circus.

Although the animal trainers usually treat the animals roughly, but without them, these animals are really not used to it, walking around anxiously in the cage and growling uneasily.

Duan Jiaze walked outside the cage, knelt down and looked at it. The tiger opened its mouth and roared at him, but its expression was very flinching.Most of the animals in the circus are young and middle-aged animals, but their physical fitness is not what normal adults should have. In fact, almost no animals in these places die.

Duan Jiaze frowned. He didn't feel scared when the tiger opened its mouth, because the tiger didn't have enough to eat every day, and it really didn't have much energy, just like the scene he saw when he first arrived at Haijiao Zoo.And this tiger was worse than the animals in Cape Zoo at that time, with a mouthful of rotten teeth.

The veterinarian Zhou Min went through the cages one by one, frowning. She was a girl, so her heart softened even more. "Director, these animals are not in good physical and mental conditions, with stereotyped behaviors, oral ulcers, skin diseases, old fractures... ..."

With a rough count, I don't know how many problems there are.

"Even if the disease is cured, they may not be able to get along with other animals of the same kind." Zhou Min concluded with his own professional knowledge that they will definitely be rejected by other animals of the same kind. These animals have a distorted growth environment, and it is very likely that they cannot be accepted.

"Treat the illness first, if you can't, turn around and keep him in isolation," Duan Jiaze said.

With so many animals, it is also a challenge for the veterinarians in Lingyuan. In addition to their daily work, they also have to treat them, and they are many times busier than before.

Duan Jiaze also went to help. One of those macaques was still a young monkey, and he was in a trance at a young age, with a dull expression.Duan Jiaze put on the gloves and carried it out of the cage, but it didn't resist.

Duan Jiaze took off the collar, and the monkey was wearing a small vest. He took off the vest, and then checked the little monkey.

In the zoo, monkeys are considered to be one of the most active animals, but these five macaques are all a bit dull.

They don't say they are clean, but they don't have any bugs. It is estimated that the animal trainers in the circus will also deworm them. Although they have no medical conditions, but they have been with animals for a long time, so they can't get fleas themselves.

Zhou Min is treating the leg of that young Asian elephant, both are elephants, compared with the first fruit of the white elephant in Lingyuan, its physical condition is really a heaven and a hell.The bear on the other side was also so thin that his face was pointy, he couldn't compare with Xiong Siqian at all.

Duan Jiaze was dripping medicine into the monkey's ears when he heard a knock on the window. When he looked outside, it was Yuan Hong who was squatting on the table outside, looked at Duan Jiaze, pushed the window open and jumped in.

"...Brother Yuan, the door is right next to you!" Duan Jiaze was helpless.Lord Four Wastes is an ape in his original form, how can he be expected to be well-behaved, he is fine when he doesn't talk, but he doesn't have any elegance when he moves.

Yuan Hong didn't even listen. He saw the thin monkeys and was shocked, "Where did this come from?"

He knew all the monkeys in the zoo, and these few were definitely not spiritual ones.

Duan Jiaze told Yuan Hong that this kind of monkey training has happened throughout the ages. Some monkey trainers are kind to monkeys, and some are very vicious. It's not like Yuan Hong has never seen it before. The weak macaque was carried out.

Xu Xin opened his mouth to remind him that monkeys are also aggressive, so don't hug them randomly.But when Yuan Hong acted carelessly, the monkey didn't move at all, and the director didn't say anything, so he just shut up.

Yuan Hong's movements looked rough, but he couldn't help the monkey not to care. Even the eyes of the macaque in Yuan Hong's arms were moist, as if he was about to cry.

To the macaque, although Yuan Hong looks like a human being, he exudes an aura that makes him feel close and in awe.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll ask Duan Jiaze to heal your injuries!" Yuan Hong comforted the macaque, and even took out a peach from his bosom to feed it to the macaque.It is so weak, half of it is always injured, and half of it is hungry.

The circus is disbanding these days, the animal trainers are absent-minded, Boss Lu's wife is not an expert, and she is short of money, these animals can't eat much.

Duan Jiaze held him down, "One is too much, let's divide it."

Yuan Hong thought so, and split the peach with one hand, picked out the core, divided it into several petals, and fed them to the macaques together with Duan Jiaze.

Duan Jiaze took a piece of peach and fed it to the mouth of the little macaque in his arms. The little macaque opened his mouth anxiously and took a bite. The peach was full of juice, and the juice dripped down from his bite, and he sucked it clean again.

Duan Jiaze took a paper towel to wipe, and the other veterinarians were busy. They were fewer in number than the animals, so they couldn't be bothered feeding the monkeys.

The little macaque hasn't eaten enough since he can remember.It hugged the small peach and ate a few mouthfuls, and it was full in an instant. Touching its little belly, it relaxed, and its narrowed eyes even brought a little comfort.

Because it was full in Duan Jiaze's hands, and there was a very amiable Yuan Hong next to him, the little macaque had a very good attitude, so he stayed at ease in Duan Jiaze's hands.

The other macaques were also full. They had never eaten such good food in their life. The circus would buy cheap ingredients and they would not be full. This meal made them even more desperate for Yuan Hong, and they all picked On Yuan Hong.

Yuan Hong naturally wouldn't dislike them, and asked Duan Jiaze to teach him how to apply medicine to them.

After a while, Xu Xin came to draw blood from the macaque, and was dumbfounded when he saw four monkeys hanging on Yuan Hong's body, "You really have a monkey fate, so please hold it down for a while, and I will draw blood for testing."

Some problems are invisible to the naked eye and require a blood test to find out how to take care of them.

Yuan Hong had also stayed in the zoo for so long, so he wouldn't think that drawing blood was a bad thing, so he immediately grabbed a monkey and held it down.When Xu Xin went in with the needle, the macaque grinned in pain and let out a cry of pain.

The other macaques also squeaked uneasily, and moved uneasily on Yuan Hong's body.But to Xu Xin's surprise, they were afraid of Gui, but they didn't jump away, and stayed on Yuan Hong's body.

Just like that, one after another, the blood was drawn, and none of the monkeys escaped.

Xu Xin looked at Yuan Hong with admiration. Some zoo keepers are like this. They are like monkey kings. Either the monkeys understand human nature and know that they want to cure diseases, or Yuan Hong is an expert. Judging from his performance, he should It's the latter, really worthy of being the principal's friend.

The little macaque stayed in Duan Jiaze's arms, looking at Yuan Hong eagerly.

It is the youngest and the weakest of the five macaques in the circus. It has no blood relationship with the other four macaques. It was bought by the circus. The little monkey looks cute in clothes and is more popular.

The little macaque didn't dare to go there because he was afraid of being bullied by the other four macaques.

Duan Jiaze saw that it kept looking at Yuan Hong, so he simply took it over.

Yuan Hong took it with both hands, and the other macaques were helpless. The little macaque was very happy in Yuan Hong's palm, and fell asleep sweetly after a while.

For the wounds of these animals, Duan Jiaze didn't use healing spells right away. His effect was too obvious, and he used it secretly at night when no one was around. Now it's better to take the medicine and injection first.

……

After finishing his work, Duan Jiaze took a look, but found that the little macaque was gone, and asked strangely, "Where's the little macaque?"

Zhou Min said: "Didn't he be taken away by Brother Yuan? Well, I thought it was the director who allowed you?"

Duan Jiaze went to help them give medicine to the bear before, and didn't care about Yuan Hong at all. Who knew that he took the little macaque with him when he left.

These animals are tortured, and the little macaque may be more at ease if he wants to follow Yuan Hong.

……

When Yuan Hong appeared in the waiting room at night, there was the little macaque squatting on his shoulders. In just half a day, his spirit was much better, after all, he was different from his boss now.

Everyone watched Yuan Hong bring the little monkey in, and Zhu Feng asked amusedly, "Where did King Xing get his illegitimate son?"

Everyone burst into laughter, knowing they were joking.

Yuan Hong rolled his eyes and said, "Have you ever seen a monkey's son belong to a macaque?"

"What is this?" Xiaoqing also joked, "The son of the Taoist Lord and the head of the garden is still a penguin and a parrot!"

Of course Yuan Hong had heard that the director of the garden called the penguin the goose, so he said casually, "You know that, it's the adopted son."

Anyway, the director was not around, Xiaoqing teased forgetfully: "The adopted son is also a son, the crystallization of love between our director and husband and wife..."

Everyone laughed tacitly.

Yuan Hong suddenly asked suspiciously: "Who is the couple?"

Everyone: "..."

Yuan Hong looked around and became even more puzzled: "Why don't you talk, why are they husband and wife??"
