Chapter 25 What's going on? He can tame beasts?
"Hey! Xu Ran, what's up?"
Police officer Wu Jun had just arrived at his office and made himself a hot cup of tea when he received a call from Xu Ran reporting the incident.
"What? Giant pandas have appeared on your farm?"
"Giant panda? Are you sure?"
"Is it the giant panda, the national treasure?"
Wu Jun pressed for confirmation several times before finally recovering from his shock upon hearing Xu Ran's confirmation.
The national treasure has come down from the mountain; this is a big deal.
He can't handle it.
Wu Jun immediately reported to the director.
Upon hearing about this, the director immediately responded:
"Go and take a look, and call a few more people. I'll personally lead this field mission."
That's a giant panda!
Although the police station is located at the foot of the Qinling Mountains, the Qinling Mountains stretch for countless kilometers, passing through several provinces and countless villages at their foot, making the probability of encountering a giant panda extremely low.
They had never actually seen a wild giant panda.
Now that I've heard there are giant pandas appearing, I have to go see them.
"Yes, I'll tell the captain right away."
Upon hearing that the director was going, Wu Jun immediately reported to the team leader.
The director hasn't been on field duty for many years.
I actually had to go on my own initiative today.
That's rare!
In addition to the field team members, Wu Jun also called on the young men from the publicity department.
When leaders go out on fieldwork, publicity is essential. Even handling an incident where a giant panda wanders into a farm can be made into a news story, allowing the leader to gain exposure.
At this very moment, on the farm.
The employees stood neatly by the wall, looking at the giant panda not far away.
Xu Ran is feeding the giant panda an apple.
The apples were all washed and cut, and even the cores were cleaned out.
The giant panda sat on the ground, eating happily.
The Border Collies were also observing from the sidelines.
Perhaps because the panda was so large, the Border Collie did not make any rash moves.
Little Grey was quite bold, running over to join the giant panda in the fun.
It crept up quietly and suddenly let out a "woof".
The sudden cry startled the giant panda, who looked to its right and saw Little Gray.
Little Grey grinned triumphantly.
"Little Grey, this is a Class I protected animal. It could kill you with one slap. Don't scare it."
Xu Ran smiled and tried to dissuade him.
The giant panda didn't seem to care too much.
After arriving at Xu Ran's farm, it did not show much wildness; instead, it was gentle and acted as if it were at home.
This guy has a big heart.
Xu Ran remembered seeing a video before, also of a giant panda, stealing food from a villager's house, just sitting in the yard, not hiding anything from anyone, leaving the villagers speechless.
Li Wu found the scene interesting and took out his phone to film it.
This video is bound to go viral online.
Xu Ran was squatting right next to the giant panda.
National treasures are a rare sight.
It's really rare to be able to get up close and personal with someone like that.
Only when you get close do you realize how big a panda's head really is, much larger than a human's head.
So it looks somewhat dangerous.
The giant panda noticed Xu Ran staring at it and turned to look at him, as if asking, "What are you looking at?"
Xu Ran simply smiled and patted its big head.
Xu's father has also been at the farm these past few days. He stands with Li Wu, Zhang Wen, and the others; it's safer with more people around.
Even Xu's father didn't expect that Xu Ran would attract giant pandas so soon after taking over the farm.
That's really strange.
"There are actually pandas on the mountain. I always thought it was just a joke."
"They actually came down the mountain!"
"Dad Xu exclaimed in surprise."
Upon hearing this, Li Wu nodded and replied, "Ran has been running around in the mountains these past few days, and I reckon he's fed the panda a few times, so it's followed him around."
"Ran is a master at raising animals. The animals are all friendly to him. Even the badger that steals melons doesn't run away when it sees him. It even goes up to him on its own."
Mr. Xu looked utterly astonished. "The badger isn't running away?"
The farm mainly grows melons, and every summer it is plagued by badgers. So sometimes, Mr. Xu sleeps next to the melon field and goes out to chase away the badgers whenever he hears any noise.
Unexpectedly, after Xu Ran took over, he managed to tame the badgers.
Since we can't stop them from eating melons anyway, we might as well feed them one or two every day to keep them from causing trouble everywhere.
"It doesn't run away anymore, and it doesn't damage the melon patch anymore. It's amazing." Li Wu agreed wholeheartedly.
Mr. Xu nodded, paused for a moment, and finally managed to utter only, "After all, he went to university."
Just then, the police officers from the local police station arrived.
There were three police cars in total, and seven or eight police officers got out, along with two reporters.
Everyone came to see the giant pandas.
"It really is a giant panda!"
"We've never seen pandas here before!"
"So fat?"
"That's a big head!"
Instead of dealing with the case, the police officers stood there and started making comments.
The reporter took photos from the side.
In remote places like this, the pace of life is slow, and when something interesting happens, no one is in a hurry.
Let's chat first.
Xu Ran walked over, and police officer Wu Jun introduced her:
"Xu Ran, this is our Director Liu Hui."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ran was somewhat surprised. The director had come?
"Hello, Director Liu," he greeted.
"Hello, we didn't expect that a giant panda would run into the farm. We'll handle it right away."
Liu Hui looked at the giant panda with an expression of watching a spectacle.
Then he asked the police officers to come up with a solution.
This matter is both difficult and simple.
If it's another wild animal, just drive it into the mountains.
But giant pandas are different; you can't force them.
"How about we call the forestry bureau over and have them release the giant pandas back into the wild?"
Someone offered an idea.
"The animals weren't injured, so the forestry bureau has no responsibility for rescue. But if it involves people's property, then it's our business."
The other person replied.
"Then we'll have no choice but to forcibly drive them away."
"Forcibly drive them away? There's a road right outside. If someone takes a picture of us driving away the pandas and posts it online, creating public opinion, we'll all be punished."
They discussed what to do.
At this moment, Xu Ran offered a suggestion:
"No, I'll do it. I encountered this panda a couple of days ago when I went into the mountains with the forestry bureau's survey team. That's probably why it came to me."
"I know where it lives, I've come to take it back."
Upon hearing this, the police officer was immediately filled with surprise.
"Take it back? Will it listen to you?"
"That's possible, but would the giant panda follow people?"
"This is a wild giant panda! Although it's a national treasure, it can be dangerous, so please don't get too close."
Everyone responded enthusiastically.
Xu Ran waved his hand and smiled:
"It's okay. I was worried that someone would report me if I walked around with it on the street, so I called the police. Otherwise, I could have taken it home by myself."
Having said that, he turned to look at the somewhat nervous giant panda and called out:
"Little Fatty! Let's go, I'll take you home!"
As she spoke, Xu Ran took a few steps forward and walked to an open space.
All they saw was the giant panda standing up, landing on all fours, and immediately trotting towards Xu Ran.
The way the giant panda runs is quite cute, with its bottom wiggling back and forth.
However, it is quite fast.
It quickly ran to Xu Ran's side.
"Let's go!"
Xu Ran led it out, with the giant panda following closely behind.
The police officers were all dumbfounded.
Director Liu Hui was dumbfounded.
What's going on?
He called out to the giant panda, and the giant panda agreed?
Beast taming?
"What...what's going on here?"
Liu Hui couldn't help but ask a question.
The others were equally bewildered, having no idea how to answer.
Then, something amazing happened.
Xu Ran led a giant panda in front, followed by seven or eight uniformed police officers, and two reporters taking pictures.
A local villager was herding sheep when he encountered this group of people and was so frightened that he didn't dare to move.
He thought he was seeing things, that he was seeing a ghost in broad daylight!
