With Chen Yuan's current status and position, it is indeed possible for him to successfully propose this matter.
"There's also a most important point." Zhang Hao waved his finger, smiling as he spoke, "After determining the racing route, we need to ensure the safety of the participants, guaranteeing the smooth progress of the competition. To do this, we must temporarily drive away the nearby wild pet beasts."
"Only you, Brother Yuan, can accomplish this."
After hearing this, Chen Yuan smiled: "If wild pet beasts interfere, wouldn't that be more interesting? Wouldn't that be more worth watching?"
"Um..." Zhang Hao supported his cheek with one hand, thinking seriously, "It seems to make sense, but there are too many uncertain factors. I estimate the higher-ups won't approve."
Chen Yuan finally said, "Let's do this. When I have time, I'll propose this idea. Whether or not it's implemented depends on the leaders' thoughts."
If this kind of competition can be turned into a brand, it will greatly benefit Xuanhe Village and the nearby towns.
After some casual chat and discussion, the phone in Zhang Hao's pocket suddenly rang. He swallowed a slice of fish while answering the phone: "Hello, Brother Song..."
But his expression quickly became serious, his mouth stopped chewing, and his brow furrowed tightly.
After a long while,
"Okay, I understand."
Zhang Hao hung up the phone, meeting a pair of inquiring eyes. He took a deep breath, his voice low: "Xiao Taozi is missing."
As soon as these words came out, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves. Everyone's expression changed drastically, and they quickly asked: "What's going on?"
"How long has she been missing?"
"Are there any clues now?"
The lively, cute, clever, and sensible Xiao Taozi is loved by everyone in the village. Upon hearing this news, everyone present couldn't sit still.
Zhang Hao's eyes were solemn, and he said slowly: "Brother Song said that Xiao Taozi didn't come home for dinner in the evening. They called her name several times in the village, but Xiao Taozi was nowhere to be found. Grandma Li realized something was wrong."
Children who grow up in the village will play together, but they will obediently return home when it's time for dinner.
Chen Yuan frowned: "When I came here this morning, I ran into Xiao Taozi. Where was the last place she was seen?"
"The village entrance." Zhang Hao replied in a very fast tone, "Someone saw Xiao Taozi waiting for guests at the village entrance."
After a pause, he said: "That's all we know for now. The village chief and Brother Song have already organized people to start looking for Xiao Taozi."
Chen Yuan nodded: "Let's help too."
Everyone was concerned about Xiao Taozi's safety, so they quickly packed up and rushed back to Xuanhe Village.
It was already night, and Xuanhe Village, which was usually quiet, was brightly lit at this moment. The villagers took the place where Xiao Taozi was last seen as the starting point and began searching in all directions.
However, the dark night shrouded the earth, which added a lot of difficulty to their search. In addition, Xuanhe Village is surrounded by forests and mountains, making the search even more difficult.
"Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!"
The Paw Patrol joined the search operation. They sniffed Xiao Taozi's scent, wagged their tails, and led teams of searchers to look around.
"Kele, you go help too."
Kele's sense of smell is far superior to the Paw Patrol members. He is no stranger to Xiao Taozi's scent. He lowered his body, put his nose to the ground, and immediately smelled all kinds of scents.
His task is very simple: to find Xiao Taozi's scent from countless complex scents, like peeling silk from a cocoon, and start tracking.
But relying on Kele alone is not enough. Chen Yuan turned his head and looked at Huohua: "Huohua, let the Stormy Cloud Sparrow also go to help."
Although the Stormy Cloud Sparrow performed mediocrely in the last rescue mission, they are familiar with the nearby area after all, and they are famous sky loafers, so finding people is more efficient than the villagers.
"Chirp ~"
Huohua spread its wings and flew high, its orange-yellow figure swept across the night sky, almost illuminating half of the sky.
Occasionally, wild pet beasts were disturbed, but as soon as they raised their heads and saw Huohua in the sky, they immediately tucked their tails and ran away.
"Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!"
Kele suddenly raised his head, sniffed, and his eyes lit up.
That's the scent!
And this scent also contains a very familiar smell.
"Found something?" Chen Yuan's eyes lit up.
"Is it here?"
Chen Yuan turned on the flashlight, and the blooming light instantly illuminated the cave. He could vaguely see two figures lying in the depths of the cave.
With a thought, the mental shield enveloped his whole body, while Kele stepped in without fear.
After a long while,
"Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!"
Kele made an excited sound.
Chen Yuan stepped forward to take a look, but saw Xiao Taozi sleeping soundly on a Little Star Moon Deer.
Without time to think too much, Chen Yuan quickly said: "Huohua, quickly tell them, I found Xiao Taozi."
"Chirp!"
Huohua spread its wings and flew away from the cave.
Afterwards, Chen Yuan squatted down and carefully looked at the sleeping Xiao Taozi. After discovering that there were no signs of injury, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time,
The Little Star Moon Deer under Xiao Taozi attracted his attention: "This seems to be the very bold Little Star Moon Deer, right?"
This little Star Moon Deer seemed to be the one that, while the other Star Moon Deer were wary of Chen Yuan, had taken the initiative to eat snacks and tried to save its companion when it fell off the cliff.
Why would it be here?
And staying here with Little Peach?
Moreover, the little Star Moon Deer had several large and small wounds on its body.
Various doubts surfaced in his mind, and recalling what he had heard during this time, Chen Yuan's pupils constricted, and he murmured, "Snow Cloud Wolves."
Thoughts flashed through his mind, Chen Yuan gently patted Little Peach, who rubbed her sleepy eyes, and when she clearly saw Chen Yuan, she immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Chen Yuan, why are you here?"
Chen Yuan ruffled Little Peach's hair and smiled, "Because I came specifically to find you."
"Oh no, don't mess up my hair, or Grandma will scold me later." Little Peach pouted and rearranged her braids.
Chen Yuan stared at Little Peach, his expression gradually becoming serious, "Little Peach, you should tell me what happened first, otherwise not only will your grandma be angry, but we will all teach you a lesson."
Absolutely no mistakes, one first one hair one inside one content one at one look!
Little Peach suddenly woke up and hurriedly looked down at the little Star Moon Deer, "Oh right, how is the little deer?"
"It's fine for now, but you should tell me what happened first." Chen Yuan said.
"Oh, oh." Little Peach responded, then gently tapped her head, making a thoughtful look, and said slowly, "I heard strange noises when I was at the entrance of the village, so I went over to take a look."
"And then?"
"And then... then I saw this injured little deer. I wanted to take it to the village to heal, but it wouldn't listen at all and insisted on running forward."
"It ran and ran, and I chased and chased, and before I knew it, it was dark."
"I wanted to go home quickly for dinner, but it was dark and I couldn't find the way. Later, I followed the little deer to this place in a daze and accidentally fell asleep."
Chen Yuan did not criticize Little Peach's recklessness. It was good that she was found, and he could educate her later.
Anyway, Grandma Li's beating was definitely unavoidable.
"You, you." Chen Yuan reached out and tapped Little Peach's forehead, smiling, "You worried us to death. The whole village came out to look for you."
"But it's good that you're okay."
"Ah, I didn't want this to happen, but I can't remember the way home anymore." Little Peach said aggrievedly, and quickly took Chen Yuan's hand, pointed to the sleeping little Star Moon Deer, "Brother Chen Yuan, you're the best, please heal it quickly."
"Okay."
Chen Yuan nodded, then gently patted the little Star Moon Deer's head, and when it gradually woke up, he said, "Little one, do you remember me?"
"Yo."
In the first moment of waking up, the little Star Moon Deer's first thought was to attack, but when it saw the figure opposite, it secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and its whole body collapsed.
It remembered this human.
"Its condition isn't good." Chen Yuan muttered, then had the Twin Flower Concubine tear off a petal and handed it to the little Star Moon Deer's mouth, "Eat it, it will help you recover from your injuries quickly."
The little Star Moon Deer did not refuse and swallowed it in one gulp.
Soon, a wonderful energy flowed through its body, its condition quickly recovered, and even the scars on its body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"You are..."
Chen Yuan was about to ask about the little Star Moon Deer's experience when a noisy sound suddenly came from outside the cave. He turned his head and saw a large group of people walking in.
Grandma Li, who had difficulty walking, quickly walked to Little Peach, hugged her tightly, and kept mumbling, "You child, you child..."
"If something happened to you, how would I explain it to your parents, how would I survive..."
Everyone was silent for a moment, and the village chief immediately said, "It's good that she's okay, let's take Little Peach home first."
"Thank you all for your hard work, go home and rest."
The crowd retreated, Little Peach turned to look at the little Star Moon Deer, which was curled up in the corner and looked wary because of the influx of people, and asked, "Brother Chen Yuan, what about the little deer?"
Chen Yuan waved his hand, "You go back and rest, I'll take care of it."
Meeting Little Peach's worried gaze, he added, "Don't worry, it will be fine."
After Little Peach also left the cave, only a few people remained in the cave.
Chen Yuan told everyone about Little Peach's experience, Song Guohao nodded slightly, and looked at the little Star Moon Deer in the corner, hesitating, "Let it stay at the rescue station first."
Hearing this, Chen Yuan glanced at the wary little Star Moon Deer and hesitated, "Forget it, let's keep it on my farm first. This little guy probably doesn't trust other people very much."
Hearing Chen Yuan say this, Song Guohao nodded.
The village chief walked up to Chen Yuan and said slowly, "Little Chen, you are more professional than us in this regard, so please find out what happened and whether it will have any impact on our village."
"If you need any help, just say so."
"If there is a possibility of threatening the village, we have to prepare in advance."
"Don't worry, village chief." Chen Yuan nodded heavily.
At this moment, the little Star Moon Deer's emotions were not very stable, so Chen Yuan did not directly ask about the situation.
The village chief and Song Guohao left one after another, and Chen Yuan asked Zhang Hao, who was preparing to stay and help, to leave first, leaving him alone in the cave.
In this way, the little Star Moon Deer relaxed its vigilance.
Chen Yuan couldn't help but smile, "Weren't you quite bold when you were eating snacks, why are you afraid of strangers now?"
The little Star Moon Deer did not respond. It felt that its condition was much better than before, so it slowly got up and walked towards the outside of the cave, Chen Yuan followed closely behind.
Leaving the cave, the little Star Moon Deer faced east, its pace slow and firm.
But before it had walked for a while, it could clearly feel a burst of pain coming from its limbs, followed by one leg bending outwards, and its whole body fell to the ground.
Chen Yuan quickly walked to its side and carefully checked the situation.
The injury was more serious than he thought.
Not only were there external injuries, but also internal injuries that were not easily detected.
After all, the Twin Flower Concubine's petals were not omnipotent and could not target every type of injury.
For ordinary skin and flesh injuries, the petals could quickly help it heal quickly, but for internal injuries, the recovery speed would be much slower.
"Yo."
The little Star Moon Deer was still trying to struggle to get up, but was stopped by Chen Yuan, who had a serious expression, "No, you should take a good rest now."
"Yo."
Meeting Chen Yuan's firm gaze, the little Star Moon Deer raised its head, took a deep look at the east shrouded in the night, and finally lowered its eyes and fell into silence.
Seeing that the little Star Moon Deer was no longer resisting, Chen Yuan asked Spark to quickly call Zhang Hao back.
He needed to bring this little Star Moon Deer back to the farm, and he couldn't do without the help of the Gray Armored Mountain Boar.
