Chapter 834 One person and one lion

The director looked out anxiously at the entrance of the zoo, with a group of employees standing behind him.

"Why aren't you here yet? It's already o'clock..." The principal fiddled with his cell phone, and the words "right away" that Lu Jingxing texted were so conspicuous.

"Coming, coming, director, look!" A breeder pointed to the end of the road.

A white van carrying sand and dust appeared in the director's eyes, as dazzling as a savior.

"I'm really sorry, Director. I have really bad luck on the road. I didn't see a few green lights at the intersection..." Lu Jingxing said with an apologetic smile.

"It's okay, it's okay. Just come. Come and take a look at these animals first..." The director pulled Lu Jingxing and walked inside.

"Slow down, Director, I haven't got the equipment yet..." Lu Jingxing entered the park like this.

Xiaojiu and the other two took the equipment and followed them.

Liger Park, sunny.

The only male lion, named Simba by the employees, was lying listlessly on the smooth marble slab, basking in the sun, which was warm and comfortable.

It feels bored every day now. Those boring humans are watching its every move outside the window, but what’s so interesting about it? Before, it could chat with Huzi next door, but Huzi was moved to another park. went.

It can be said that he is alone now, lonely but with someone to rely on.

The zoo is at least a stable job, with five insurances and one housing fund, and three meals a day are guaranteed.

It is much better to be hungry and full than to sleep in the open air.

Lu Jingxing rushed to the Liger Park without stopping. It was said that the condition of the lion was getting worse and worse. He could sleep for almost 25 hours out of the 24 hours a day.

Of course, this is an exaggeration, but it can be seen from the sparse appearance of the Liger Garden that it is indeed not very optimistic.

So he took his staff to the liger park first and decided to give the lion a physical examination first.

Simba opened his eyes and saw Lu Jingxing looking at it outside the glass.

"It seems there are still boring people." It thought to itself.

When Lu Jingxing saw the lion raise its head and lower it immediately, he felt that it seemed a little lack of energy.

The director of the park introduced: "This lion's name is Simba. He has been in the park for several years. He is usually quite normal and cheerful. I don't know why he is like this now. He is fed so much that he sometimes can't finish the meat..."

Lu Jingxing vaguely felt that something was wrong. If there was really a serious illness, it should be a little painful, but looking at its current appearance, it didn't look like it was suffering from a serious illness.

"Director, can I go in and have a look?" Lu Jingxing asked.

"Um, are you sure? Although Simba has never bitten anyone, in his current state, none of us dare to go in and check on him. We are even careful when feeding him meat." The director looked a little worried.

"It's okay. If you think I'm in danger, let Xiaojiu hold the anesthetic and be ready to hit it on it at any time." Lu Jingxing looked quite confident.

Xiao Jiu nodded. He turned out to be a shooting athlete. He did not participate in the competition due to academic reasons, but his accuracy was very good, so Lu Jingxing took him with him.

"That's okay, but you still have to be careful." The principal nodded.

Lu Jingxing didn't bring many things with him, but he also had a tube of anesthetic in his waist. After all, if someone couldn't explain why, he could only solve it physically.

The iron door slowly opened, making an age-old sound. Lu Jingxing slowly walked into the lion cage. He didn't dare to make any loud noise, but slowly leaned towards Simba.

Simba has seen this person a long time ago, and naturally he has never meant to hurt anyone, but an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, why not tease this person?
It deliberately stayed still and just looked at him quietly.

There are conditions for activating the inner whisper, at least the distance must be relatively close, but now there is a very embarrassing scene. When he is about ten meters away from Simba, Lu Jingxing is a little scared. After all, he is alone, so he is so rash Who can be unafraid to walk in front of a lion?

His face was solemn, thinking about whether to step forward again.

So one person and one lion were stuck in place.

Xiaojiu and the principal looked on from the outside and frowned in unison.

Director: "Little brother, does this Doctor Lu have any clever ideas? Why doesn't he keep moving?"

Xiaojiu thought for a long time: "I think Dr. Lu must have his own reasons for doing this."

Lu Jingxing didn't know what the two were talking about. He only knew that Simba the lion couldn't sit still.

Of course, you are standing there like a fool. This is the same as not taking the initiative in a relationship. One party has to make the first move.

So Simba went first.

Xiao Jiu was extremely nervous now. The lion was walking towards his leader. It was dangerous to say so. He looked at the lion in the scope attentively, ready to shoot at any time.

Lu Jingxing watched the lion slowly approaching, and he couldn't help but step back.

A more interesting scene appeared. One person and one lion were walking in circles on the field. Lu Jingxing kept retreating and the lion kept walking forward.

Xiaojiu's gun kept turning, making circles in the yard.

Lu Jingxing kept backing up until he stepped on something and fell, sitting down on the ground.

Simba was frightened and took a step back, but seeing that there was no danger, he approached Lu Jingxing again.

Finally, at about seven meters away, Lu Jingxing contacted Simba.

"Wait, I want to talk to you..." Lu Jingxing said hurriedly.

"What?" Simba didn't hear clearly and continued to take a few steps forward.

Finally, when there were only four meters between one person and one lion, Simba heard clearly, but he did not stop and replied: "What do you want to ask?" Lu Jingxing knew that it had no big grievances, so he felt relieved: "Why have you been so listless these days?"

The lion lowered his head and was about to answer when he fell to the ground the next second.

Lu Jingxing was startled, and when he looked closely, he saw an anesthesia needle inserted into its body.

Xiao Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his shooting skills were quite accurate.

The director also breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Lu Jingxing felt pity for Simba.

A world where only Simba was injured was born.

Lu Jingxing sighed, let's do a basic check. We can't waste this shot.

In the next few hours, a lot of B-ultrasounds and other tests were done, and finally it was found that there was no problem. The director frowned as he took the results.

"There is no problem, so why is he listless? Is he old?" The principal couldn't figure it out.

"Wait a minute, I'll see how it's doing when it wakes up." Lu Jingxing looked confident.

During this time, several people went to the monkey park first to check the physical condition of several monkeys and at the same time looked at several newborn baby monkeys.

Passing by the panda house, Lu Jingxing was thinking about whether to check it out when the director stopped him.

"Look, that's our big star. I may not have time to check you now. The tourists will be unhappy..." Following the director's fingers, circles and circles of people gathered outside the panda house. , it looks like an internet celebrity going out.

After checking the time, he saw that there was no rush anyway, so he decided to squeeze in and take a look.

There are two pandas in total, and they are really carefree in the yard. One is eating bamboo hard on the table, and the other is playing on the side.

Lu Jingxing's eyes were locked on the panda playing nearby.

It was playing on the edge of the table, rolling around, and it was hard to doubt that it wouldn't fall.

At this time, it rolled to the edge, and almost half of its body was outside. Everyone was holding it in fear for fear that it would fall.

It can only be said that it is a panda. It fell off as soon as it was told. It fell directly, but its feet were tightly clamped on the top bamboo, and it hung upside down on the platform.

"Mom, won't it fall down like this?" a child asked innocently.

Of course his mother couldn't think of an answer, but the panda gave one.

After many attempts, the panda finally... fell to the ground.

It made everyone laugh.

Lu Jingxing couldn't help but remember that he was the same when he was a child. He liked going to the zoo, especially pandas, but at that time he preferred red pandas.

Because the panda venue is too high, he sometimes cannot see the panda.

Of course, it was probably because of this experience that he had such a strong interest in living things and animals.

It was too late to recall. Now the lion woke up, and several people ran to the Lion Rock in a hurry.

Simba didn't remember what happened at all, he only remembered that he had a good sleep and was very comfortable.

Lu Jingxing squatted in front of Simba and pointed at himself: "Do you still remember me?"

"You are..." Simba was stunned: "Oh, you are the one who keeps retreating. I remember you."

Lu Jingxing was speechless for a while.

"Then do you remember the question I asked?" Lu Jingxing pulled the car back on track.

"Uh..." Simba was stuck: "I don't remember."

I have to say, honesty is still honest.

Lu Jingxing asked the question again: "Why are you listless every day?"

Simba opened his mouth, but in the end he just sighed.

"It's okay, there are no outsiders here, just tell me." Lu Jingxing comforted it.

Simba began to slowly talk about his boredom and depression.

After leaving the Liger Park, a few people sat in the dining area to eat. The director couldn't wait to ask Lu Jingxing: "Doctor Lu, what's wrong with Simba?"

Lu Jingxing bit his chopsticks and said, "Director, if I leave you on a deserted island with no people, and have vegetables and meat every day, would you be willing to stay?"

The director shook his head.

"Animals need other lives to survive together. A cat kept in captivity all year round will be depressed, but it will be much better if you find him a companion." Lu Jingxing hinted tactfully.

The principal nodded in understanding.

Xiao Jiu didn't understand what he meant. On the way back in the car, Xiao Jiu asked Lu Jingxing, "Boss, is that lion in heat?"

Lu Jingxing remembered the bitterness and annoyance on Simba's face when he complained, like an old friend who had lost his love.

"Maybe..." Lu Jingxing smiled.
