Chapter 236: Song Jiaren, Bringing the National Treasure Home

~7 min read 1,332 words

Song Jiaren placed the rice ball beside the wall.

After smelling the scent, the giant panda outside dug with its paws a few times.

Then it opened its mouth, bit into the bamboo, and pulled hard.

Crack~

Under the giant panda's powerful bite, the already dry bamboo was torn apart.

After one broke, the giant panda reached its paw inside and took the rice ball.

Song Jiaren took out another rice ball and placed it where the giant panda couldn't reach.

The rice ball contained salt, which was extremely tempting for the giant panda.

Its paw couldn't reach it, so it had no choice but to gnaw the bamboo again.

When it comes to dealing with bamboo, probably no animal is more skilled than the giant panda.

After a few tries, it tore a hole in the bamboo wall and crawled in from outside.

If there were an adult inside, the giant panda probably wouldn't have crawled in.

In the giant panda's eyes, Song Jiaren was obviously a creature with no threat.

Moreover, she gave it something to eat.

After eating the second rice ball, Song Jiaren glanced at the hole, covered her pocket, and said, "I can't give you any more! Otherwise I'll go hungry."

As soon as she finished speaking, a nearby bamboo building lit up.

The giant panda hurriedly crawled out of the bamboo hole.

Wait for me!

Song Jiaren whispered a sentence and immediately followed the giant panda out.

The giant panda led the way, and Song Jiaren ran behind, crouched low.

Seeing that she couldn't keep up, she leapt, lunged onto the giant panda's back, and grabbed a handful of its fur.

Thus, the giant panda dragged Song Jiaren along the ground.

Soon they climbed up the hillside.

A hillside that humans cannot climb is like flat ground for the giant panda.

Fortunately, Song Jiaren's pants were thick enough; otherwise, her skin would have been rubbed raw.

In the valley behind them, the light that had been lit went out again.

It was likely someone had been awakened by the noise, and after hearing no further sound, they turned the light off again.

In such cold weather, with the surroundings surrounded by mountains, how could the environment's years old little girl possibly run out?

Whether it was Chen Fengli, that middle-aged woman, or anyone else, no one would have thought a giant panda would patronize this valley.

Day broke.

Song Jiaren woke from her sleep.

The giant panda, covered in dirt, sat opposite her, gnawing on bamboo branches.

Gurgle gurgle gurgle...

Her stomach sounded.

She was hungry!

Song Jiaren reached into her clothing pocket and pulled out.

The result was empty.

Without guessing, one knows for sure that the giant panda stole and ate it while she was asleep.

No food, what to do!

It's impossible to gnaw bamboo like this giant panda.

Song Jiaren glanced around.

This is a bamboo forest.

In the morning, fog arose; it was very cold.

Through the bamboo forest, one could see towering mountains in the distance, with snow on them.

This is Shuchuan...

Song Jiaren murmured.

She had watched documentaries about giant pandas and knew that the wild giant pandas in Shuchuan were the most numerous.

As for which location in Shuchuan, she didn't know.

If someone familiar with Shuchuan's geography were here, they would know this is the Great Cool Mountain.

In such cold weather, we need to find something to eat!

Watching the giant panda eat bamboo so deliciously, Song Jiaren picked up a piece of bamboo and started to gnaw.

Pah!

She couldn't bite it at all.

After the giant panda finished chewing the bamboo, it turned around and crawled away.

Wait for me!

Song Jiaren immediately followed.

The giant panda turned its head to glance at Song Jiaren, then continued onward.

By noon, Song Jiaren finally found something to eat.

The giant panda dug for winter bamboo shoots and unearthed several underground-overwintering bamboo worms from the soil.

In the television documentary, mountain children eat bamboo worms raw.

Pinch off the legs, strip the hard shell from the back, then pinch off the tail, remove the pointed mouth, and put it in the mouth to chew.

The taste is still quite fragrant!

Giant pandas also eat bamboo worms.

Actually this guy isn't digging for winter bamboo shoots; he's looking for bamboo worms to eat.

Although it doesn't fill the stomach, it can maintain stamina.

Thus, Song Jiaren followed behind the giant panda, scrambling for food.

Morning of the 6th.

The middle-aged woman discovered the large hole bitten by the giant panda, then found that Song Jiaren was missing.

She immediately gathered a dozen people to search in the valley.

Finally, drag marks were found; Song Jiaren was clearly dragged up the cliff by some animal.

Looking at that steep cliff, everyone lost heart.

Climbing the cliff to pursue is utterly impossible.

Unless one detours several dozen li of mountain road…

After Chen Fengli came over to have a look, he frowned and did a finger calculation.

"Old Chen, how is it?"

The middle-aged woman asked.

Chen Fengli shook his head, sighed, and said: "What a pity for this girl; she must have been snatched by the blind bear, a beautiful woman with a thin fate!"..

Besides giant pandas, there are also black bears in this mountain.

Black bears have run into the valley several times.

They even killed a few of them.

Therefore, Chen Fengli's conclusion wasn't calculated but inferred.

This place is far from the city; it takes half a day just to walk out of the mountains,

let alone a little girl being carried off by a bear,

so Chen Fengli and the others weren't worried about this place being exposed.

Unfortunately, they miscalculated!

On the 5th, Lin Feng pulled up the recent surveillance footage of the three missing girls.

This included the surveillance footage related to Song Jiaren.

With Lin Feng's eyesight and analytical ability, he found a clue after spending half a day.

An old man setting up a fortune-telling stall by the roadside, holding a dry tobacco pipe, caught his attention.

In fact, this person was Chen Fengli.

An old man skilled in physiognomy.

Chen Fengli's appearance was entered into the system and compared with the city's surveillance footage.

That night, over a dozen people who had contacted that old man were brought to the bureau for interrogation.

These people were all so-called jianghu figures, each very shrewd.

Knowing the police had no evidence, they all kept silent.

But what kind of person is Lin Feng?

By reading their expressions, he could see that three of them were very familiar with Chen Fengli.

Such a standoff is meaningless.

Following Lin Feng's suggestion, those three were released.

But as soon as the three stepped out of the police station, Zhao Xiaoyang's men abducted them.

This incident occurred at the gate of the Criminal Investigation Detachment.

But both sides had an unspoken understanding, and Detachment Captain Liu pretended not to have seen it.

If they truly followed normal procedure, by the time the case was solved, the yellow flowers would be cold.

That night Lin Feng interrogated the old man Chen Fengli to learn his whereabouts, then took people on an overnight flight to Chengdu...

On the afternoon of the 7th, Lin Feng, based on the identification of three suspects, apprehended a key figure.

In the morning of the 8th, as Lin Feng was about to lead people into the mountains, Detachment Captain Liu called.

"Consultant, good news! Song Jiaren has been found; she escaped from the crime gang herself……Last night she was discovered following a giant panda into a forest ranger's home to look for food, and she even brought back a wild giant panda……"

Lin Feng stared in astonishment!

Was she abducted or just went on a trip?

Actually brought back a national treasure!

The giant panda is a national treasure.

But Song Jiaren still has a national treasure in her hand!
