Thanks to the effects of the spiritual liquid, the Sichuan golden monkeys were eating happily.
They sat obediently in a row in the yard, munching on the fruit.
Meanwhile, Su Lin led the giant panda to the stone jar to retrieve some apples.
At this point, the viewers in the livestream became excited and started guessing whether the panda mother would actually eat the apples.
“Come on, let’s place our bets!
I bet Mama Bear won’t even look at the apples in the stone jar.”
“Indeed.
After all, these aren’t Su Lin’s apples.
They’re the apples Brother Wang brought.”
“The mother bear has been spoiled.
She insists on eating the father bear’s fruit.”
“I bet she’ll eat them.
Look at how happily the monkeys are eating.”
The giant panda walked toward the stone jar with little interest.
It glanced resentfully at the monkeys, whose mouths were dripping with juice as they enjoyed their meal.
Since everyone else is enjoying the food so much, I’ll just have a little taste.
Under the watchful eyes of the livestream viewers, the giant panda reached into the water and retrieved an apple.
But the moment it saw the apple, it froze.
It looked strangely familiar.
The panda was holding an apple that had already been bitten into.
The spot where it had been bitten had turned slightly brown.
The giant panda stared blankly at Su Lin.
Su Lin couldn’t help but chuckle.
The panda had probably realized that this was the same apple it had bitten earlier.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the livestream, Mama Bear clumsily rotated the apple until the discolored bite mark was hidden.
Then she took a bite.
“Eek?”
The giant panda was slightly confused.
Why did this familiar fruit taste different?
Although the texture and flavor weren’t as good as the apples given to it by its previous caretaker, that didn’t affect its love for fruit at all.
It’s delicious!
Contrary to everyone’s expectations, the panda didn’t spit it out.
Instead, it sat down, let out two soft whimpers, hugged the apple in its paws, and began munching happily.
“Hahaha!
I guessed right!”
“Wait, isn’t that the same apple it ate earlier?
Why is it eating it again?”
“That doesn’t make sense.
The only difference is that the apple was washed before and after.
Could soaking it in that spring water really change its taste?”
The puzzled netizens had no idea that the water in the stone jar was actually filled with spiritual liquid.
Seeing the giant panda sitting obediently and munching on the apple, the corners of Su Lin’s lips curled upward.
It seemed that fruit soaked in the spiritual liquid was also particularly attractive to animals.
After the meal, Wang Yi held his round belly and let out a loud burp, startling all the monkeys.
Afterward, the two sat beneath the eaves, drinking tea and chatting.
During their conversation, Wang Yi also asked Su Lin for access to his livestream room so that he could watch the giant pandas during his breaks.
On the screen, the giant panda was holding its cub and nursing it.
Behind the Monkey King, two smaller monkeys—apparently its offspring—were grooming its fur.
The other monkeys were equally relaxed, lazily playing around in the courtyard.
“Wow, what a beautiful afternoon.
It feels so peaceful and pleasant.”
“The giant panda nursing its baby, the quiet monkeys, and this idyllic rural atmosphere…
It’s so relaxing.”
“So cute!
“Go tame the monkeys on Mount Emei!
You’re the best!”
“I’m dying of laughter!
Hahaha!”
Since it was his day off, Wang Yi wasn’t in a hurry to leave.
He wanted to spend some more time with the giant pandas and Sichuan golden monkeys.
So, he decided to help Su Lin clear the orchard beside and behind the courtyard.
The orchard wasn’t very large, only about half an acre.
However, when the two of them looked over, there was almost no trace of the original fruit trees.
The entire orchard had been swallowed by grass and various small trees that had grown to more than half a person’s height.
“Let’s get started.”
“Brother Wang, you can rest.
I’ll take care of it.
I picked a watermelon earlier, and it tastes great.
Go ahead and have some.”
It was Wang Yi’s day off, yet he had brought supplies for Su Lin and was now helping him clear the weeds.
Su Lin felt a little embarrassed.
“It’s fine.
I’m just killing time anyway, and it’s quite lively here.”
Wang Yi smiled before suddenly remembering something.
“By the way, how are your fruits and vegetables growing so well?
The previous forest ranger left quite a while ago.
Could he have planted all of these before leaving?
But that doesn’t seem possible.”
Thinking about lunch, Wang Yi unconsciously licked his lips, still savoring the delicious taste.
Only then did he realize something.
Su Lin had just arrived at the station, yet the vegetable garden was already lush and green, filled with all kinds of fruits and vegetables.
That was what puzzled him the most.
Su Lin didn’t say much and simply brushed the matter aside.
“It’s nothing.
Let’s finish this first and then eat.
Watermelon tastes better when you’re thirsty.”
He looked at the vast stretch of weeds and frowned.
“But there are too many weeds.
I doubt the two of us can finish clearing them in one afternoon.”
Looking at the enormous patch of overgrown grass was indeed a headache.
The next second, as if he had thought of something, a smile appeared on Su Lin’s handsome face.
“That’s not difficult.”
Wang Yi immediately became interested.
“Do you have a solution?”
Su Lin smiled, turned around, and shouted toward the bears and monkeys in the courtyard.
“Mommy Bear!
Little Gold!
Come here and pull the weeds!”
Wang Yi was completely stunned.
Good grief!
You’re actually going to make wild animals pull weeds?
In the livestream, the viewers who had previously seen Mama Bear help with weeding immediately realized what Su Lin was planning.
“Hahaha!
You’re something else!
Last time you got the pandas to help you pull weeds, and this time you’re not even letting the monkeys off the hook!”
“I bet a dozen monkeys could clear the entire orchard in no time!”
He’s actually making wild animals do manual labor?!”
“Don’t rush!
Take your time.
Su Su definitely has more tricks up his sleeve.”
Su Lin’s voice echoed through the courtyard.
The little heads of the monkeys that had been playing peeked out from behind the trees.
They stared at him in confusion, as if they were still trying to figure out what he was saying.
But since it was the new “Monkey King” who had spoken, the old Monkey King immediately let out a cry.
The other monkeys quickly followed and ran toward Su Lin.
When the giant panda heard its keeper’s voice, its ears twitched.
The moment it recalled the delicious fruit and the experience of pulling grass, it immediately stood up.
With its toes pointing inward, it waddled toward Su Lin.
One paw grabbed Su Lin’s arm while the other reached toward him.
“Eeeee!”
Guoguo!
Give me Guoguo!
Wang Yi’s expression became even more complicated when he saw the pandas and monkeys rushing over.
Su Lin’s ability is too useful.
He can actually command wild animals!
However, the animals didn’t seem to understand what he wanted them to do.
The monkeys simply circled around Su Lin.
Seeing this, Wang Yi couldn’t help but laugh.
You say you can communicate with these animals, but when it comes to something like weeding, surely that won’t work.
“You little glutton.
I knew you’d come running for food…”
Su Lin left the orchard and returned to the courtyard, carrying a backpack.
Wang Yi became even more curious.
“Why are you carrying a backpack if you’re going to make the animals work?”
Su Lin ignored him.
“Help me pull the weeds, and all the fruit here will be yours.”
As he spoke, he took an apple from his backpack and waved it in front of the animals.
The giant panda was the first to understand what was happening.
It knew very well that the fruit given to it by its keeper was the most delicious!
Seeing this, Wang Yi put his hands on his hips and burst out laughing.
It was the first time he had ever seen someone use apples to lure animals into working.
He had never heard of anything like this before.
However, what happened next left Wang Yi completely dumbfounded.
The giant panda was the first to move.
After all, it was already experienced.
It waddled into the orchard and began using its claws and mouth to pull at the weeds.
When the Sichuan golden monkeys smelled the even stronger and more tempting aroma of the fruit, they tilted their heads curiously.
Then, following the giant panda’s example, the ten monkeys marched into the orchard.
They plunged into the tall grass and began rummaging around.
Their movements were far from organized, and there was no proper technique to speak of.
But that didn’t matter.
They were actually getting the job done!
The weeds in front of them disappeared rapidly amid a chaotic rustling sound.
Wang Yi stared at the scene with his eyes wide open.
After a moment, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Holy crap!
You’ve practically trained these wild animals to become supernatural beings!”
