Ning Zexi, being handsome and a funny guy, has quite a bit of popularity, and there are currently two thousand people in his livestream room.
There's nothing worth shooting in today's livestream, so he's keeping these two thousand viewers entertained all by himself like a stand-up comedian.
Upon hearing about discovering poachers, the viewers' emotions were stirred up.
[This is not just five ear foxes; it's five years or more, up to ten years in prison!]
[Streamer, act quickly, this woman looks like she's going to run!]
[Wow, it's no wonder this is selected by the media as the cutest animal in the world! Streamer, go on, such soft little bundles cannot be skinned for clothing! That's too cruel.]
"Dear friends, don't worry, I will step in!"
"Justice! Peace!"
Ning Zexi rolled up his sleeves, determination in his eyes, ready to sacrifice heroically.
"Don't move! I've already called the police!"
He held a small self-defense knife in one hand and dialed the Desert Area police station number with his phone in the other, rushing in big strides right in front of Xu Ying.
"Release the little ear fox immediately, or don't blame me if my knife doesn't have eyes!"
But being his first confrontation with a criminal, Ning Zexi was too nervous, his hands and feet were fumbling, mistakingly putting the self-defense knife to his ear as a phone and extending his phone as a knife towards Xu Ying.
The viewers who were initially expecting Ning Zexi to subdue the criminal were utterly flabbergasted seeing the whole scene!
[I'm done for, Streamer, are your hands and brain not in sync? Putting the knife to your ear and handing the phone, which can call for help, over to the criminal, what kind of self-trapping move is that?]
[Maybe his cerebellum hasn't fully developed.]
[Fierce in battle spirit like a tiger, but foolish in operation like an idiot.]
[Ning Zexi: Whatever, I can make a fool of myself.]
Xu Ying was startled by Ning Zexi's sudden appearance, hurriedly shielding the ear fox cubs behind her.
Listening to this stranger's words, Xu Ying immediately realized this guy mistook her for an ear fox poacher.
She looked dumbfounded at the knife by his ear, reached out and grabbed the phone he extended to her, noticing it was already dialing the police call, Xu Ying sighed in relief; she indeed intended to call the police.
Ning Zexi was puzzled at why his expensive phone on the ear didn't make a sound while dialing until the phone was grabbed, only then realizing he had made a silly mistake!
He quickly pointed the knife at Xu Ying: "Stealing an ear fox and now snatching a phone, your crime just got heavier!"
Saying so, he approached the fox cubs beside Xu Ying's feet, attempting to coax them over: "Little foxes, this woman is a poacher!"
"Big brother is here to save you!"
However, the cubs distanced themselves even more, their eyes alert and worried.
Xu Ying sensed the fear among the fox cubs at her feet, scolded Ning Zexi harshly: "You're too reckless! Not only suddenly popping out but also frightening people with a knife."
"The physiological functions and immune system of animal cubs are not well-developed, very sensitive to external stimuli. When frightened, their bodies produce a lot of stress hormones, adding burden to their hearts, easily leading to heart diseases!"
Ning Zexi listened to Xu Ying's scolding, his eyes widening in surprise: "You seem to know quite a lot, despite being a poacher!"
Xu Ying helplessly shrugged: "Because I'm not a poacher, I'm the head of the animal rescue station!"
Ning Zexi snorted coldly: "You say so, but do you have proof!"
Among the ear foxes, the Proud Fox Boss immediately chirped at Ning Zexi: [My sister has proof!]
Xu Ying took out her work ID and placed it in front of Ning Zexi's eyes.
——"032 Animal Rescue Station Head."
Due to a lack of manpower, almost each rescue station is managed by one person, Xu Ying instantly becoming a "little leader".
At this moment, the call Ning Zexi dialed also connected, and a deep male voice came through: "Hello, Desert Area Police Station!"
Xu Ying, hearing the familiar voice, quickly responded: "Hey, Brother Chen! I'm Xu Ying from Station 032. I have a situation to report."
Ning Zexi, upon seeing the work ID clearly and hearing Xu Ying's erudite tone while talking with the police station personnel, wished he could turn into an ostrich and bury his head in the sand!
Help, he was trying to be a hero in front of all the online audience, but the clown turned out to be himself!
Xu Ying explained her abandonment incident in the desert to Brother Chen at the police station.
After hanging up, she returned the phone to Ning Zexi.
Ning Zexi bowed ninety degrees apologetically, extending both hands to take back the phone: "So you're an animal rescuer. I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It was a misunderstanding."
Ning Zexi was embarrassed and guilt-ridden but felt somewhat disappointed.
He thought he had caught a poacher this time, hoping to gain popularity online.
The Environmental Protection Fund there had a new tree planting project needing funds, they even inquired yesterday if he could be of help.
He introduced himself to Xu Ying.
Upon learning the other party was a hiking enthusiast, donating most of his streaming earnings to the Environmental Protection Fund, Xu Ying's anger subsided a lot.
"Alright, I won't waste words with you; a sandstorm will be here in two hours."
Ning Zexi's face changed instantly at the mention of "sandstorm", "Really? Don't scare me?"
"Believe it or not."
After saying this, Xu Ying called the ear fox cubs to enter the airbox.
"Cubs, hurry in, we still have forty kilometers to cover, hurry up."
Once the airbox was opened, the little ear foxes rushed inside one after another; they were frightened by this strange man, who was just fierce to their sister.
The second little cub, in its haste, tripped in the sand, covered in sand, comically pitiful.
Xu Ying helped it up, amused yet helpless.
"Don't rush, we have time, let's go in one by one in line."
The three little ear foxes queued obediently and orderly entered the airbox.
The scene amazed Ning Zexi's livestream audience.
[Whoa, the little bundles can line up!! Smart and adorable babies, I want to kiss them!]
[They really listen to this young rescue girl, is it trained?]
[Oh please, this girl is so young yet the station head, surely a well-connected family, no such capability.]
[Indeed, let's not add glory to this well-connected family. I've raised pigs in my village for twenty years now, way more experienced than this young lass, still can't train pigs to queue in line. She, a recent graduate, probably hasn't worked long, knows more than me? Queueing is purely due to the smart little ear foxes!]
Seeing the unfriendly bullet comments, Ning Zexi instantly fired up, his mouth shooting off like a machine gun, in vehement retort.
"Already labeling someone as unfairly favored? With your thinking, no wonder staying with pigs for 20 years, shake your brain juice well before speaking, okay?"
"Do the donkeys in your village do nothing but kick you all day long?"
