The scorching sun spread evenly on the ground, and the two took out the hoe that Jiang Shuangchao had used for farming from the space capsule, and began to dig ponds for the elephants under the scorching sun.

But when it was actually implemented, some people found that the dryness of the land on the African continent was far beyond their imagination.

Jiang Shuangchao stood helplessly on the handle of the hoe, looking at the vast land and sighing.The ideal is full, but the reality is that they have spent a long time digging a puddle that is not even big enough for baby elephant Saran to lie on.

He researched it with Yan Xizhe and found that on the one hand, most of the animals moving around the African elephant are large in size. Everyone's heavy bodies stepped on the ground and tamped the ground step by step.

On the other hand, it is now the dry season, and the water in the land is scarce, so it is as dry as a stone.

A hoe smashed down, and there was not much soil scraped off at all.

Miwa stood quietly at the side observing their movements, then walked over gently and kicked the ground vigorously with her legs, and said, "Shuang Chao, do you want to do this?"

For the two of them, the rammed ground may have to be dug with a large forklift or a large excavator. Following its movement, the dust was flying, and a small hole was dug out in two or three strokes.

"Yes! Although I can get enough water, I really can't dig this place!" Jiang Shuangchao slapped his forehead, feeling like he was really caught in a whirlpool of thinking.

On the road to rescue animals, he has always been adhering to the style of doing things by himself, and he will do his best to help animals if he can help them.

But he forgot that in the right climate and without human intervention, animals can live well on their own.

Not to mention that African elephants themselves have the ability to dig and repair mud ponds, which is their instinct to maintain a good living environment.

He clasped his hands together, and said in a pious tone: "There is a specialization in art, so please dig a mud pond on the spot, and I will be responsible for draining the water."

Knowing that Yan Xizhe would not understand what he said, Jiang Shuangchao always cared about his feelings and acted as an interpreter from time to time.

At this time, Yan Xizhe added from the side: "By the way, there is no need to dig too much. We can only stay here for six days. After six days, there will be no water supply. At that time, everyone will still have to migrate to the groundwater source. "

When the patriarch Mihua heard this, he uttered a happy elephant moan: "Everyone is very tired from the long journey these days, and little Saran can hardly hold on. As long as you can take a good rest for a few days, I believe everyone will recover soon. , Thank you for coming and helping.”

It touched Jiang Shuangchao's cheek with its long trunk, who was startled by the sudden touch.

After realizing that it was expressing friendship with him, Jiang Shuangchao smiled softly, and touched Mihua's trunk with his hand back.

But Mihua didn't interact with him for too long, and then it ordered the strong male elephants to form a team to dig the pond.

Their long tusks are strong and sharp, natural diggers in their own right.

The elephants didn't know how much water Jiang Shuangchao had, so they dug a small puddle one meter deep and about three meters by three meters in size and stopped.

Looking at Jiang Shuangchao with eyes full of anticipation, voices sounded like groaning.

"Does Shuangchao's home store so much water? If not enough, we will fill in the soil and make the pit smaller..."

"Such a big place is just big enough for me to lie in, so don't grab me! Of course little Saran can lie with me!"

"I miss having lots of water to drink and being able to slam mud on my skin! My skin feels cracked these days!"

The ideas of the elephants are very straightforward. Seeing that they are still thinking about themselves during construction, the corners of Jiang Shuangchao's lips slowly curled up, "Hahaha, let's continue digging, and it will be about three times larger. The water here is There are enough resources!"

If this land is not equipped with water retention facilities, the accumulated water will soon seep into the ground. It is dug for everyone to rest, and it is not enough if it is not dug larger.

The elephants were very happy when they heard this.

They were afraid that Jiang Shuangchao didn't store enough water, so the puddle was planned to be very small and dug carefully, but since he said so, everyone didn't have to be polite.

In an instant, more than 20 elephants were working hard, making the land dusty.

The other leopards, hyenas, and vultures watching around thought that there was something wrong with the elephant cubs, and they started to get mad. Seeing this, they all fled in desperation with their tails between their legs, not daring to approach them at all.

After Jiang Shuangchao confirmed that little Sa Lan was full, she went back and brought out a basin of water, and her mother splashed it on her body with her nose to cool down.

Seeing that the elephants were constructing in full swing, he immediately returned to the space capsule with Yan Xizhe and rented a planting space for aquatic plants.

He had only used this space before to grow seaweed for flamingos and flowers for the bees that he hated. After all, he spent a lot of love every time he started work, and the price/performance ratio was really not high.

But this time, after not choosing additional fertilizer, growth agent and crop seeds, it only cost a little love.

The transparent planting box whose planting density does not meet the standard and is connected to a different space cannot be opened, but this time the system obviously turned a blind eye to it, allowing him to turn the box upside down as a whole, and the water flowed down .

The elephants stopped when they heard the sound of water, and looked at the transparent planting box in Jiang Shuangchao's hands fascinatedly.

The box is only fifteen centimeters long, wide and high, not as big as an elephant's hoof, but the water inside seems to be endless, and the water flow has not decreased for a long time.

Mihua also seriously thought about whether he could ask Jiang Shuangchao to get this box, so that they would never be short of water again.

It's a pity that after the water roughly filled the pond, the water flow in the planting box also stopped abruptly, just like an invisible hand turned off the faucet in the box.

Jiang Shuangchao shook it vigorously twice to make sure that the water in the planting box had been emptied by him.

I muttered a sentence in my heart. Sure enough, no matter how much area of ​​planting space you rent, you can only pour out as much water, and there is no more than one cubic meter.

He threw the transparent box back into the space capsule, looked at the elephants and smiled slightly: "There is only so much water, let's play here first, and I will add more when the water level drops."

The elephants came to their senses and first called little Saran, who had become much more lively and able to stand independently after the healing time, to the side of the pond, allowing half of his body to submerge in the water.

The water released by Jiang Shuangchao itself is very clear, but after being stepped on by them, the soil underneath was stirred into muddy water.

But these African elephants are still very happy. They try their best to drink water very carefully, and use the long muddy water to splash the mud water on the skin to moisturize and repel mosquitoes by the way.

During the dry season, water is all that is needed for the animals, and this is the main artery that keeps them alive.

When night fell, the temperature difference between day and night caused the water temperature to drop a lot. Although they could no longer soak in the water, the African elephants still reluctantly stood by the pond, and finally got a respite from the exhaustion of the past few days.

Jiang Shuangchao was worried about the marks on the elephants' bodies and backs that had been pierced by sharp objects. After eating, another person walked out of the space capsule and came over to touch the rice flower.

After finding that its current body temperature feels comfortable to the touch, he opened his arms and hugged Mihua, and leaned against it.

The latter seemed to know that if he moved away at this time, Jiang Shuangchao would fall down. Its body didn't move, its nose bent over and touched him lightly.

After Jiang Shuangchao hugged the elephant, he stood upright.

He also found a few wounds on Mi Hua's body that he couldn't notice without looking carefully, and he felt very uncomfortable.

But I didn't know how to speak better, so I said after a while, "Mihua, have you ever seen other human beings?"

This sentence obviously made the African elephant feel uncomfortable. It took a few steps back, kicked its legs uneasily, and scratched the ground with its hind hooves.

Mihua's reaction was great, indicating that the wounds left by humans in its heart have not been healed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Shuangchao wanted to help it out, so he continued to ask: "That means I have seen it before, can you tell me about it?"

Mihua was silent for a while, and then she groaned: "Actually, our group was once attacked by humans. They didn't know what they used to make everyone lose their strength. When they woke up, they were no longer on the grassland..."

"There are other animals besides elephants. Everyone's life is not very good. Humans seem to want us to do some strange actions. If we can't do it, we will have no food and will be stabbed with things."

"The female elephant is fine and will not be abused, but it is strange that she will become pregnant even though she is not in estrus, and the child will be taken away as soon as it is weaned."

"The life of male elephants is relatively difficult. They are ridden by many people every day, some are very heavy, and some secretly pinch their flesh while riding them. Although it hurts, they will definitely be beaten if they resist. It's all bloody..."

The scene Mi Hua narrated was cruel, which Jiang Shuangchao had heard before in a backward country.

For many people, animals are just tools they use to make a living.

At that time, he felt very heartbroken and powerless, and now that Mi Hua said it himself, he still has this feeling in his heart.

He evoked a bitter smile: "Then what happened afterwards? How did you return to the African continent? The African continent is where we are now."

When it comes to this question, Mihua's tone is much lighter.

It even flicked its nose twice with great interest: "I forgot what time it was, one day suddenly no one came to see or ride elephants. The people who often feed us haven't come for several days. I would starve to death, and my younger sister was so hungry that she started biting the iron railing, and another group of people came."

"The group of people still knocked us out with things. When we woke up, there was a lot of fruit in the cage, and they appeared here after a few days. They opened the cage and let us go. The place where we landed was quite far from our previous home. It’s far away, but as we walked, we returned to a familiar place.”

Mi Hua's eyes fell back a few times, and she thought brokenly: "At first I wanted to drive away the group of male elephants, but after they went out for a few days, they fought with other elephant groups and lost. During the time of being raised by humans, the long-term weakness It made it impossible for them to survive alone, so I picked them up again.

It had been several years, and it was all before little Saran was born. "

It is an understatement, but a complete story has been constructed in Jiang Shuangchao's mind.

After the poachers succeeded, they smuggled the elephants to some tourist countries.

Mihua and the others got to know those male elephants there, and then their "owners" must have had an accident, and the government or non-governmental animal protection organizations rescued them.

But so many elephants have nowhere to live, and the daily food alone is a lot of money.

This group of people simply released these elephants back to their original habitat. Although they had good intentions, they did not know whether they had lost their ability to survive in the wild.

Of course, even if they have considered such a thing, they may not have the funds or the ability to change it.

It can only be said that it is fortunate that there is an experienced leader like Mi Hua, who spent several years leading everyone on the right path.

This experience also makes them the strangest combination of elephants in the African savannah.

Jiang Shuangchao touched the female elephant, who was much more relaxed after telling the story, and said in a gentle tone, "Mihua, after a catastrophe, there will be a great blessing. With a leader like you, this elephant herd will definitely continue well."

"Wait, I have something good for you." He put down these words and quickly returned to the space capsule.

He took out the few packs of goat milk powder left over after weaning the sugar, melted it in warm water, and soaked a large pot of goat milk.

He and Yan Xizhe carried the goat milk out of the space together, and said to Mihua like offering a treasure: "This is goat milk powder, it should taste delicious and sweet. I reward you, the leader of the elephant herd, to taste it."

Mi Hua stretched out her long nose and sniffed it. After tasting a few mouthfuls, she flapped her ears, obviously liking it very much.

But when it thought of something, it stopped eating and said, "I'm already this big, so what do I still drink, save it for little Saran."

Jiang Shuangchao knew the baby elephant's name as soon as he heard it. It must have remembered that Miwa couldn't produce milk.

He touched Mihua with some distress, "I have ensured that little Saran has enough milk to drink during the few days I am here, and it may be the nutritious milk produced by other elephant mothers.

This pot is just goat milk, the milk of an animal that is not as big as a wildebeest. I think the effect of drinking it is definitely not as good as elephant milk. Are you sure you want to replace elephant milk with this little nutritious sweet water? "

"That won't work! Let me drink it, I like drinking water!"

Sure enough, the health of the baby elephant in the group is the weakness of Mihua. After no psychological burden, it immediately went to the front of the basin to enjoy this small extra meal.

After staying with Mi Hua outside for a long time, Jiang Shuangchao returned to the space and wanted to ask Yan Xizhe how he should rest tonight.

Although Mr. Yan confessed to him very affectionately before, he also expressed that he would consider the possibility of the two of them being together in the future.

But right now they are still not together, and there is only one bed in the space capsule, so it might be a little bit out of bounds, I would have set up a tent outside if I knew it...

Holding the complicated thoughts of cranky, when he returned to the space, he saw that the figure of the man had disappeared.

There were two orange-white cats lying on the bed, one on the left and the other on the right.

At this time, the two cats were fast asleep, one was sleeping on its back, and the other was curled up into a round cat ball.

But these two would make this kind of action on weekdays, one is too much like a cat, and the other is too much like a human cat, it is impossible to know who is who unless they are woken up.

Seeing this picture, Jiang Shuangchao smiled knowingly.

He decided not to find out which one was Tangju and which one was Boss Yan. That man consciously helped him solve problems that might be embarrassing, and he was happy to enjoy the thoughtfulness.

In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Shuangchao woke up and looked at the blue and cloudless sky of the African continent for a while. After realizing it, he hurriedly got up from the bed, intending to go out to see the seepage of the pool that night.

Unexpectedly, when he got up to get the planting box, he missed it.

"Hey? Where's my planting box?" While talking, he rummaged up and down, left and right.

Sha Tangju, who had just fallen asleep beside his pillow, stretched and meowed, "Don't look for it, brother took that box out."

"Oh! Boss Yan is here too!" Jiang Shuangchao was so happy that someone sharing the work turned out to be so happy, and immediately put on his shoes and went out.

He saw the man squatting halfway by the pool, with a bit of distress and a smile on his handsome face.

He held the planting box with one hand and poured water down in large gulps, while with the other hand he stroked the baby elephant who was making trouble beside him, trying to stuff his nose into the planting box.
