PDLP Chapter 206 Fragrance
Chapter 206 Fragrance
Shen Ruojun quickly ran to the clouded leopard to check its injuries.
The clouded leopard was injured on its back and legs, and was very agitated, roaring wildly.
The clouded leopard is a Class I protected animal in China. Although it is called a leopard, it is actually a feline.
Because their fur is rare and can be made into luxury goods, they are often poached and sold on the illegal market.
In addition, the bones of clouded leopards are made into so-called "tiger bone wine," which is rumored to cure intractable diseases or enhance physical fitness.
Teeth, claws, and other parts are made into handicrafts or amulets and sold, further stimulating poaching.
Clouded leopard cubs are often smuggled and sold to zoos or private individuals as pets because of their cute appearance.
At this moment, the two clouded leopard cubs whimpered around their mother.
Although clouded leopards are not as large as tigers, they are not weak in aggression.
Shen Ruojun tied a rope around its mouth to prevent it from biting her.
I found some herbs nearby, mashed them up, and applied them to the clouded leopard's wound.
The two clouded leopard cubs seemed to know he meant no harm and began nudging his feet with their heads.
These two puppies are probably not even three months old yet. They are quite small and their meows sound a bit like kittens.
Shen Ruojun ignored them and continued to treat the female clouded leopard's wounds.
The wound is quite deep; if it's not treated promptly, it'll likely get infected.
After finishing, he turned around, walked over to the two poachers, took their bags, and opened them.
Shen Ruoyun's expression changed abruptly when she spotted the several spheres curled up together.
Li Zhe also curiously peeked over, his eyes filled with astonishment.
"Holy crap, it's a pangolin! These people are really ruthless, they only target rare species."
Shen Ruojun remained noncommittal, but pangolin scales have long been rumored to have extremely high medicinal value.
Wild pangolins were even sold for exorbitant prices at one point.
In addition, they are not aggressive and basically curl up into a ball when they encounter danger, making them very easy to capture.
As a result, wild pangolins have been driven to the brink of extinction by humans.
I checked the two pangolins, and they should still be alive. I guess they want to go back and skin them alive.
Shen Ruoyun looked at the two little creatures curled up in a ball and fell silent, a rare occurrence for her.
He turned and walked up to the poacher, his eyes filled with coldness. He then picked a large leaf or two and gently covered the camera.
Then, screams echoed throughout the rainforest, sending chills down one's spine, and birds in the trees flapped their wings and darted about in all directions.
Shortly after, the director and his crew arrived by helicopter.
"I've already notified the police and the forestry department, but they should be here soon."
The director glanced at the two men on the ground, their faces bruised and swollen; they were clearly badly injured.
"What happened to them?"
Shen Ruoyun turned the poaching bag upside down. The two still had a lot of food left, so he probably caught them not long after they arrived.
Looking at the beef jerky and canned food in his hand, he couldn't help but swallow, but still handed them to the cameraman.
"I'm not sure, they probably fell on their own," Shen Ruoyun said casually without looking up.
The director glanced at the two pig heads again, somewhat incredulous, and then turned to look at the cameraman.
The cameraman, clutching the beef jerky and canned food in his hands, started nodding frantically.
"Yes, they fell down on their own."
"Fine...fine." The director's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, deciding to turn a blind eye.
After a while, the police and forestry workers arrived and took the poachers away.
The two poachers readily confessed to their crimes, and it was clear that this was not their first time doing such a thing.
"How did they get these injuries..." the policeman asked the director in a low voice.
Without a second thought, the director immediately gave a polite response: "He fell on his own; it has nothing to do with us."
Upon hearing this, the police immediately smiled knowingly, solemnly praised Shen Ruojun and her group, and then escorted the poachers onto the plane.
The female clouded leopard had already been wrapped up by the veterinarian and was ready to be put on the plane, while the two clouded leopard cubs frantically nudged Shen Ruojun's trouser legs.
Without thinking, Shen Ruoyun raised her hand and slapped the two little ones' bottoms several times.
The two little creatures started meowing and immediately ran away.
When Li Zhe saw him like this, he immediately became a little anxious.
"Big brother, what are you doing! Why are you hitting them?"
Li Zhe adored these two little guys; who wouldn't love such cute little creatures?
"Let them know the wickedness of humans," Shen Ruoyun said softly, watching the two clouded leopard cubs being carried away.
After finishing her business, it was already afternoon. Shen Ruoyun picked some wild fruit and headed towards the riverbank.
There were two palm-sized fish in the fish trap. I took the items and headed towards the shelter.
That evening, the two had some wild vegetables with them for another meal. Li Zhe was so hungry he almost bit his tongue off.
After finishing his meal, Li Zhe tidied up his things and moved closer to Shen Ruojun.
"Brother, you smell nice." Li Zhe suddenly said.
Shen Ruoyun: "???"
Shen Ruoyun jumped away quickly, grabbed a tree branch from the side, and aimed it at Li Zhe.
"What do you want to do! Do you know that eating people is illegal?"
Li Zhe opened his mouth, as if to explain something, "That's not what I meant..."
“They have more meat on them, you go after them.” Shen Ruoyun pointed to the two cameramen next to her.
Cameraman: ???
Li Zhe wiped his face speechlessly. "That's not what I meant. I just meant that you always have a certain fragrance about you."
You can barely smell it from a distance, but you can smell it up close.
Upon hearing his words, Shen Ruoyun immediately raised her hand and smelled her armpit.
"Bullshit! I smell like a man all over, say it again and I'll beat you!" he said, striking Li Zhe twice with the branch in his hand.
Li Zhe was so frightened that he took several steps back. "I'm not lying. You can ask them if you don't believe me."
The cameraman nodded helplessly, agreeing with Li Zhe's words.
Li Zhe observed his expression, slowly approached, and asked hesitantly.
"Big brother, did you secretly spray perfume?" Before the words were even finished, he was immediately punched hard on the back of the head.
"I even use milk to take a bath!"
"Really? No wonder you're so fair-skinned, brother! I'll have my mom try it when I get home!"
"Awooo~", the conversation ended with Li Zhe howling.
Shen Ruoyun lay on the bed, tossing and turning, "Miaochacha3077, come out."
"Meow~ What do you need me for, host?" Meow Chacha was eating a roasted sweet potato, spoonful by spoonful.
Shen Ruoyun glanced at the sweet potato and her Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
Struggling to suppress the urge to snatch it away, she questioned, "Have you been playing tricks on my body again?"
Miaochacha3077 swished its tail down, its eyes darting around, and quickly scooped up a spoonful of sweet potato and put it in its mouth.
She mumbled, "Host, what are you saying? Cha Cha doesn't understand."
Seeing this, Shen Ruoyun knew it was up to no good, so she grabbed its cat ears and lifted it up.
"Really not?" Meowchacha3077 cried out in pain.
"Host, I'll talk, I'll talk! Put me down first, my earring is about to fall off!"
