Chapter 834: One Man and One Lion



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

"Why haven't you come yet? It's already this late..." The director fiddled with his phone, and the words "right now." sent by Lu Jingxing were so conspicuous.

"Here they come, director, look!" A keeper pointed to the end of the road.

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

"I'm really sorry, director, my luck on the road was really bad, and I didn't encounter a few green lights at the intersection..." Lu Jingxing said with an apologetic smile.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay to come, come and see these animals first..." The director pulled Lu Jingxing inside.

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

Xiaojiu and the others followed with equipment.

The lion and tiger park, the sun is shining.

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

It felt bored every day now, and those boring humans watched its every move outside the window, but what was there to see? Before, it could chat with Hu Zi next door, but Hu Zi was moved to another park.

It can be said that he is now a lone lion, lonely but with support.

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 than sleeping in the open air and eating one meal a day.

Lu Jingxing rushed to the lion and tiger park without stopping. It is said that the condition of the lion is getting worse and worse, and it can sleep almost 25 hours a day in 24 hours.

Of course, it is exaggerated, but from the desolate appearance of the lion and tiger park, it can be seen that it is indeed not optimistic.

So he took the employees to the lion and tiger park first and decided to give the lion a physical examination first.

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

"It seems there are still bored people." It thought.

Lu Jingxing saw the lion raise his head and then immediately lower it, and felt that he seemed to be a little out of energy.

The director introduced: "This lion is called Simba. He has been in the park for several years. He is usually quite normal and cheerful. I don't know what happened to him now. He can't finish the meat he is fed..."

Lu Jingxing vaguely felt that something was wrong. If he really had any serious illness, he should look a little painful, but looking at his current appearance, he didn't look like he was seriously ill.

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

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

"It's okay. If you think I'm dangerous, let Xiaojiu take the anesthetic and be ready to inject it at any time." Lu Jingxing looked quite confident.

Xiaojiu nodded. He was a shooting athlete. He didn't participate in the competition due to academic reasons, but his aim was very good, so Lu Jingxing took him with him.

"That's fine, but you still have to be careful." The headmaster nodded.

Lu Jingxing didn't bring many things with him, but he also put a tube of anesthetic on his waist. After all, if the other party couldn't explain the reason, he could only solve it physically.

The iron door slowly opened, making a sound that was quite old. Lu Jingxing slowly walked into the lion cage. He didn't dare to make any loud noises, but just slowly approached Simba.

Simba had seen this person a long time ago, and he naturally never thought of hurting people, but an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, why not tease this person?

It deliberately didn't move, just looked at him quietly.

There are conditions for launching the heart language, at least it has to be relatively close, but now there is a very embarrassing scene, that is, when he was about ten meters around Simba, Lu Jingxing was a little scared. After all, he was a person. Who could be fearless in his heart if he walked rashly to the lion's face like this?

His face was solemn, wondering whether he should go forward again.

So the man and the lion were stuck in the same place.

Xiaojiu and the director were watching from the outside, and they frowned at the same time.

Director: "Little brother, does Dr. Lu have any good ideas? Why doesn't he move?"

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 the lion Simba was a little restless.

Of course, you stood there like a fool. This is like not taking the initiative in love. One party must move first.

So Simba went first.

Xiaojiu was so nervous now. The lion walked towards his leader. It was very dangerous to say so. He looked at the lion in the scope intently, 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. The man and the lion were circling the field. Lu Jingxing kept stepping back and the lion kept moving forward.

The muzzle of Xiaojiu's gun kept spinning, circling in the yard.

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

Simba was frightened and took a step back, but seeing that there was no danger, he moved closer to Lu Jingxing.

Finally, 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, so he continued to walk forward a few steps.

Finally, when there was only four meters between the man and the lion, Simba heard clearly, but he did not stop and answered: "What do you want to ask?"

Lu Jingxing knew that it did not have any big grievances, so he was relieved: "Why have you been listless these days?"

The lion lowered its head and was about to answer, but fell to the ground the next second.

Lu Jingxing was startled and looked closely. There was an anesthetic needle stuck in its body.

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

The director was also relieved.

Only Lu Jingxing felt pity for Simba.

The world was born only when Simba was injured.

Lu Jingxing sighed, so let's do a basic check, we can't waste this needle.

In the next few hours, a lot of B-ultrasound and other examinations were done, and finally it was found that there was no problem. The director frowned with the results.

"There is no problem, then why is he listless, is he old?" The director couldn't figure it out.

"Wait a minute, I'll know when it wakes up and see its condition." Lu Jingxing looked confident.

During this time, several people went to the monkey park first, checked the physical condition of several monkeys, and looked at several newly born monkeys.

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

"Look, that's our big star. I may not have time to check you now. The tourists will be unhappy..." Looking along the director's finger, circles of people surrounded the outside of the panda house, looking like an internet celebrity going out.

Looking at the time, there was no rush anyway, so he decided to squeeze in and take a look.

There were two pandas in total, and they were really carefree in the yard. One was eating bamboo hard on the platform, and the other was playing on the side.

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

It was playing on the edge of the platform, rolling around, and it was hard to doubt that it would not fall down.

At this time, it rolled to the edge, with almost half of its body outside. Everyone was sweating, fearing that it would fall down.

It can only be said that it is worthy of being a panda. It fell down as soon as it was said to fall. It turned over directly, but its feet clamped the top bamboo tightly and hung itself upside down on the platform.

"Mom, won't it fall down like this?" A little boy asked naively.

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

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

It made everyone laugh.

Lu Jingxing couldn't help but think of himself as a child. He liked to go to the zoo and especially liked pandas, but at that time he liked red pandas more.

Because the venue for giant pandas was too high, he sometimes couldn't see giant pandas.

Of course, it might be because of this experience that he had such a strong interest in biology and animals.

There was no time to recall. Now the lion woke up, and several people rushed to Lion Mountain 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 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 finally just sighed.

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

Simba began to slowly talk about its boredom and depression.

After leaving the lion and tiger park, several people sat in the dining area to eat first. The director couldn't wait to ask Lu Jingxing: "Doctor Lu, what's wrong with Simba?"

Lu Jingxing bit his chopsticks: "Director, if you are thrown on a deserted island with no one, with vegetables and meat every day, would you be willing to stay?"

The director shook his head.

"Animals need other lives to live with. A cat that has been kept in captivity for many years will be depressed, but it will be much better if you find a companion for it." Lu Jingxing hinted.

The director nodded, not quite understanding.

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

Lu Jingxing remembered Simba's bitter and depressed face when he complained, just like an old friend who had lost love.

"Maybe..." Lu Jingxing smiled.
