Chapter 22 Miaoer
"Don't, this is a national first-class protected animal, so you can't kill it randomly." Lin Han hurriedly stopped it.
The middle-aged man seemed a little angry: "This long worm almost killed me. Can't I still kill it?"
"It's just an animal that acts on instinct, why bother to resent?" Lin Han persuaded, "If you tripped by a stone, do you have to take revenge on the stone? What's more, this python is still an endangered species protected by the state."
As a reptile, snakes have relatively low IQ and basically rely on instinct to carry out activities, without intention or thought. At the same time, their behavior is not man-made norms, and there is no standard, so there is no negligence.
In other words, in a middle-aged person, it can only be said that he is not lucky. It is unnecessary to regard the snake as the target of revenge.
"If a person kills someone and goes to jail, how can a python be lawless? If I tripped by a stone, would it be wrong to smash the stone? And what does this have to do with endangeredness?" the middle-aged man glared.
When Lin Han heard this, he suddenly felt that it was unreasonable.
The python is not the legal subject, so of course it is "lawless". After tripping by the stone, it is really hard for others to say anything.
As for the significance of protecting endangered animals to the ecology, it probably doesn't make sense.
"Forget it, since you saved me, I'll listen to you." At this time, the middle-aged man suddenly waved his hand and said, then he no longer cared about the python.
Lin Han breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Brother is very wise."
However, the middle-aged man turned around and came to the tree hole and lifted up the little toothed cat, one, two, two, and two, three.
“Meow~ Meow…”
The two little cats screamed in horror, shivered, and looked around uneasy.
Lin Han's face changed: "What are you doing?"
The middle-aged man held the corpse of the small-toothed spirit cat in one hand and the two little cats in the other: "If I hadn't discovered this dead crocodile, how could I be entangled by the python? I saw that the crocodile had just died and planned to go home for stewing. Do you want to come and try it?"
"This... this is a small-toothed spirit cat. There are only two in the country, which are even rarer than pythons."
The middle-aged man widened his eyes: "Why are they endangered animals again? Where do so many endangered animals come from?"
"The big cat is dead, and I can't say anything if you take it away. But if this kitten dies, the little toothed cat will become extinct in China."
"One male and one female?" The middle-aged man looked at the two little cats, then looked surprised, "It's true! You can see such a small **, it's so amazing."
"Now you believe me."
"Don't believe it." The middle-aged man shook his head repeatedly, "It's either a male or a female, even if he guessed it right. But why do you say that these are the last two in China?"
Lin Han was stunned.
Proving uniqueness is always much more difficult than proving existence. In this case, it cannot be said that it was told by the will of the earth.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a while, then threw the big cat over: "Okay, okay, you have saved me after all... I will give this big cat to you. I am useful to the kitten, and I will not give it to anyone else."
After saying that, he held two little cats and turned around and left without looking back.
Lin Han stood there, a little stunned.
Gaia said at this time: "Remind that if the little toothed cat wants to continue to reproduce, it is not OK to give it to ordinary people for feeding."
"Of course I know that the only place where two kittens can be properly placed is probably the local Forestry Bureau."
"By the way, in the situation just now, although strictly speaking, you did not rescue the python. But your attitude is worthy of praise, so there will be a little extra reward in the end, keep working hard~"
“What extra reward?”
"I won't tell you for now." Gaia kept her back.
Lin Han shook his head and then thought of another thing: "What should I do with the body of this big cat?"
"In addition to human cremation, animals and plants are always eaten, either by microorganisms or by other animals." Gaia said, "If you want to eat, I won't blame you."
Even though he said so, Lin Han had no appetite: "Then let it return to nature."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
......
People in Yangjia Village mainly use the surname Yang, and most of them work in farming.
Because they are close to the mountains and forests, people will go to the forest from time to time to find some wild game fruits. This way, they work from sunrise to sunset, have a bit of a paradise.
At this moment, it was almost evening, and a seven or eight-year-old girl was standing at the west end of the village, flashing her big watery eyes and looking around.
The elders passing by responded with smiles: "Is Miaoer waiting for her father again?"
The little girl called Miaoer nodded obediently: "Dad said that today I will bring fun things to Miaoer from the forest!"
The adults smiled and said, "I just saw your father, he brought you good things today."
"What good thing?" Miaoer immediately showed a curious look and blinked.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in simple clothes suddenly walked up not far away, holding two little cats in his hand and walked with a smile: "Miao'er, what did Dad bring to you?"
When Miaoer saw her father, she immediately rushed over happily: "Dad!"
Then she noticed the two kittens in her father's hand and smiled happily: "What is this? Is it a kitten?"
As she said that, she took two little cats from her father and teased her gently.
The other adults also came over and looked at the kitten in the middle-aged man's hands with curiosity.
"Yang Qing, what is this in your hand? It looks quite interesting."
"I don't know. I just met a young man and insisted on saying that this was a small-toothed spirit cat, and that it was the last two in China - isn't this nonsense?" Yang Qing said indifferently.
"I think it's a wild crocodile, but it's a bit special." One person said, "Hey, Yang Qing, did you catch two small ones, big ones?"
"Uh..." Yang Qing said vaguely, "I didn't look at anything big. These two kittens were found in the tree hole."
Of course the big cat was thrown to Lin Han. But he was unwilling to tell the story of almost being strangled to death by the python, after all, it was too embarrassing.
"What a pity. What are you going to do with these two little ones? Have you raised them and slaughtered them?" someone asked while touching the kitten.
Hearing this, Miaoer's pretty face turned pale: "No, you are not allowed to kill kittens! Miaoer must keep it all the time!"
Yang Qing hurriedly comforted: "Have Miaoer raised, never kill him."
“Meow~”
At this time, the two little cats made a soft cry, crawling around Miao'er's hands, and licking her fingers from time to time.
"Ah, they are calling me!" Miao'er suddenly looked surprised and then raised the two kittens high, "Listen!"
“Meow~”
The adults laughed out loud when they heard this.
