Chapter 222: The fat snow leopard mother and the extinct salt birch tree!
Several old employees are already very skilled in cleaning.
Especially Dahuang and Erha, they have already gotten used to it.
As for the Mongolian wolves, it doesn’t matter if you are not familiar with them. Just follow the boss and do what he tells you.
Soon, the yard returned to its original state.
"Then I'll go back first. If you have any situation, please contact me!"
After helping Chen Chuan and the others clean the room, Yang Jun went to see the two little snow leopards and took several photos of them before deciding to leave.
"it is good!"
After Yang Jun and the others left, Erha and the others also entered the house.
What surprised Chen Chuan and the others was that the big goose also followed in.
As soon as he entered the house, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the house.
The honey badger and the sable stared at it eagerly, fearing that it would come over to fight again.
Dahuang returned to the den, took care of the babies seriously, and played with the two little snow leopards.
Dahuang and the Mongolian wolf huddled together and looked at it with disinterest.
As for Dai Mao, it went out hunting during the day and hasn't come back yet.
The big goose looked around, found an empty corner, and lay down.
And right next to it is the snow leopard mother's den.
Hearing the noise, the mother snow leopard raised her head and saw the goose.
Suddenly his eyes lit up.
delicious!
It walked up to the goose and watched it.
The goose didn't move either.
After this wave in the afternoon, it realized that it could not defeat these animals.
He who knows the times is a handsome goose.
It's not a stupid goose.
So, after noticing the snow leopard's gaze, it did not move, but its whole body was tense, fearing that the snow leopard would pounce on it.
"Wow, does the snow leopard mother want to eat meat?"
Netizens saw this scene and speculated.
"I think so. Such a big goose is just in the snow leopard's diet."
"What do you mean by feeling or not feeling? Didn't you see that the snow leopard's mouth was drooling?"
Everyone looked at it.
Sure enough, the mother snow leopard was staring at the goose.
A stream of clear saliva flowed from the corner of its mouth, and it kept stretching to the ground without breaking.
"Oh my goodness, I'm sorry, I overestimated the deliciousness of the goose!"
The netizens who posted the video apologized one after another.
"Host, why don't we kill this goose and provide some nutrition for our snow leopard mother?"!
Some netizens gave Chen Chuan suggestions.
When posting this barrage, I also gave a reward, trying to let the host see it.
Chen Chuan naturally saw it.
"Eat, of course you have to eat, but not now."
"When is that? Does the anchor still want to keep this goose?"
"To be honest, I don't recommend raising one. Geese don't recognize their relatives. They don't care who you are!"
This netizen's feelings are obviously very profound, and it's obvious that there's a story behind it.
Just as Chen Chuan was chatting with them, the snow leopard mother came over.
"Ow~"
It walked straight to Chen Chuan, then lay down, revealing its soft belly.
Seeing this, Chen Chuan didn't hesitate and reached out to touch it.
The belly is soft, the fur is also soft, and it feels great.
The key is that Chen Chuan's technique was very good, and he made the snow leopard mother feel very comfortable. She lay on the ground and made purring sounds.
“Ahhhhh, I’m so envious of the anchor!”
"I want to be able to enter the host's hand and touch the snow leopard's soft belly!"
"Hello everyone, I am the host's hand. The snow leopard's belly is indeed very soft and comfortable."
"Can you send me the Snow Leopard? And give me 200 yuan. I'm a student!"
However, as netizens watched, they found something was wrong.
"Hey, did you notice? The snow leopard mother's belly..."
A netizen suddenly said.
"Yes, yes, yes, did you notice it too? That belly seems to be a lot bigger than before!"
Another netizen quickly echoed.
"Ah this..."
"Hahaha, it must be because the food here is too good. It's only been a short time and I've gained a lot of weight. The "bye-bye" fat on my belly has appeared."
Seeing the barrage, Chen Chuan could only smile helplessly.
"That's why I'm not eating that goose now!"
"The mother snow leopard doesn't move much to begin with, and I've been intentionally feeding her, so now she has some excess nutrition."
"Hahaha, the anchor is really careful with his words. What do you mean by overnutrition? Isn't this just eating fat?"
"My family runs a pig farm, please give me some instructions!"
Netizens are dying of laughter.
"What's the big deal? Snow leopards have to be fat to be cute!"
"That won't work. Snow leopards grow up in the wild after all. If they are too fat, it will affect their hunting."
Chen Chuan's expression was serious.
"I don't need to tell you how important hunting is to snow leopards, right?"
"Sorry, I was just joking!"
Netizens also know that what they said was a bit too much.
Everyone knows that for a snow leopard, it would be a devastating blow if it cannot hunt in the wild.
……
The next morning, Chen Chuan and his friends got up early.
I'm going out to shoot today too.
Before dawn, Chen Chuan's live broadcast had already started.
Netizens who had clicked to follow before came in dazedly after receiving the news that the host had started broadcasting.
Then he saw Chen Chuan, who was already dressed neatly.
"Ah~~ (yawn) The anchor got up so early today!"
"It's not even daybreak yet, how can it be early?"
"I was still asleep, and when I heard the voice, I clicked in subconsciously."
"I'm different from all of you. I haven't slept yet!"
"You are awesome!"
Before Chen Chuan could say anything, netizens had already started chatting among themselves.
"The place we're going to today is quite far, so we need to get up early, otherwise we might not be able to get back at night!"
Chen Chuan explained.
"It's so early, how far is it!"
"Anchor, be careful, bring some extra things with you, just in case."
Some netizens were worried about the danger and gave warnings.
"Don't worry, we're already ready."
"The place we were going to was a cave. Bater mentioned it when we were chatting at the tribe before."
"Ah, I remember now. What Bartel said at the time was that there was something strange inside the cave, and it seemed to be connected to another world."
Netizens immediately thought of it.
"It is definitely impossible to connect to another world, but there must be something strange in it."
"We happened to be here, so we thought about going over to take a look."
"Hahaha, I understand. We're here now, right?"
Chen Chuan smiled slightly.
After everyone had packed up, Chen Chuan and his team set off.
It was four o'clock in the morning. The stars were twinkling overhead and the moonlight was shining on the ground, forming interlaced spots of light with the woods.
"Oh my god, the moonlight is bright enough to light the way."
"I still remember that the last time I saw such beautiful moonlight was more than ten years ago when I was studying in the countryside."
Seeing the comments from netizens, Chen Chuan raised his mobile phone again and pointed the screen towards the sky.
"The stars are beautiful, too. You can take a look!"
"The stars are shining, the moonlight is like water. These two words are embodied at this moment!"
"I'm already a beautiful mouse!"
"There will be a sunrise later. I will watch it with you then."
The sunrise in the Altai Mountains usually appears around six o'clock.
Since they found the site, Chen Chuan rarely gets up so early.
Therefore, this sunrise must be very beautiful.
Along the way, Chen Chuan was chatting with netizens while walking.
Occasionally, a few small animals would run past.
When the Huskies see it, they will chase after it immediately.
It took about two hours to walk.
The stars above my head slowly faded, and the moonlight slowly faded.
At the same time, a golden light appeared in the sky.
Slowly, the golden light became brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire eastern sky and dyeing the white clouds golden.
Immediately afterwards, a red semicircular sun appeared on the horizon.
As time passed, the sun grew bigger.
Soon, most of the sky was dyed red by the rising sun.
Chen Chuan and his friends watched the sunrise and morning glow together with their netizens.
Even the entire Altai Mountains were covered in morning glow, with strands of golden light penetrating through the woods.
Chen Chuan and his friends found a place with a wide view to watch the sunrise.
Therefore, this beautiful scene of sunrise has been captured by several people.
"It's so beautiful! This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful sunrise!"
"It seemed as if the entire mountain range was enveloped by the sunrise."
"Thanks for the invitation, I'm busy recording the screen and don't have time to chat with you guys."
Some netizens also took the time to post a comment.
……
It actually only takes about half an hour from sunrise to the sun appearing.
After watching the sunrise, Chen Chuan and his companions continued on their journey.
After walking for about two more hours, they finally arrived at the entrance of a cave.
"Oh my god, now I know why the anchors have to get up so early."
"It's a full four hours. If I don't get up early, 90 percent of the day will be wasted on the road."
"The host is thoughtful!"
“Is this the hole?”
Seeing the entrance of the cave, Liu Yiyi curiously moved closer and observed it carefully.
Then nothing was found.
The entrance to the cave is slightly smaller, only about meters wide, and very narrow, just enough for one person to pass through.
When Chen Chuan walked over, he could still feel a warm breeze blowing out from inside.
That is why the grass in front of the cave is still green and not covered by snow.
"There might be something else hidden inside."
Feeling the warm breeze, Chen Chuan said.
Generally speaking, a hole like this that can blow out warm air is not a dead hole, but is connected to another hole.
"Okay, take a break and get ready to go into the cave!"
As he spoke, Chen Chuan took out some food from his backpack.
A few people ate a little and then continued walking inside.
Because the entrance to the cave was too narrow, several people could only move forward one by one.
Erha walked in the front, followed closely by Chen Chuan, and then Nie Feng, Liu Yiyi, Zhang Hao, Chen Xiang, and Dahuang.
This arrangement is also to prevent any accidents from happening so that they can deal with them more easily.
After all, among this group of people, only Zhang Hao and Liu Yiyi have relatively weak combat capabilities.
After walking about a few dozen meters, Chen Chuan and his friends found that the road became wider.
Moreover, there was a little white light not far ahead.
It looks like another hole.
"Do you think this scene looks familiar?"
Netizens watched Chen Chuan and his team take action.
"I understand! In Peach Blossom Spring, it is very narrow at first, but only then can people pass through, and then walk a few dozen steps..."
"Hahahaha, this junior high student just memorized this article."
"It's really similar!"
"The host, have you really discovered a paradise?"
“Are there people from ancient times in there?”
For a moment, netizens’ thoughts were all over the place in the live broadcast room.
However, Chen Chuan and the others did not notice it.
Because, at this moment, they have been attracted by the white light.
Following the direction of the white light, we walked forward for a few dozen meters.
The white light became bigger and bigger, and when they got closer, they discovered it.
It was indeed a cave entrance.
At this time, warm wind was blowing at the entrance of the cave.
"Wang Wang Wang!"
Seeing the exit, Erha rushed out first.
Chen Chuan and the others also quickened their pace.
"Wow!"
"What a nice view!"
“This isn’t that different from a paradise, right?”
"Host, have you walked out of the Altai Mountains?"
Netizens were shocked by the scene before them.
All I saw was a huge sinkhole in front of me.
Inside the tiankeng, countless plants grow lush green, with tree roots tangled and branches intertwined.
At this time, Chen Chuan and his companions were in mid-air above the cliff of the tiankeng.
It is just right to take in the entire tiankeng.
The most surprising thing is that the interior of the entire tiankeng is as warm as spring, and the cold ice and snow from the outside have not fallen here at all.
“This tiankeng is so magical!”
Liu Yiyi and the others were also shocked by the scene before them.
"As I recall, given the conditions in the Altay region, it's very difficult for this kind of sinkhole to form, right?"
Nie Feng and his team are on missions outside all year round and are very familiar with the characteristics of some areas.
Sinkholes like this usually appear in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, where the four seasons are distinct, the mountains are high and there are many lands, making it easier for sinkholes to form.
In places like Altay, the climate is relatively not that obvious.
Moreover, although there are high mountains here, there are also many plains.
It is far from meeting the conditions for the formation of a tiankeng.
"Indeed!"
Chen Chuan nodded.
"But it is precisely because it is difficult to form, but it finally formed, that this place becomes rare."
"Moreover, from what I've observed, the climate conditions here are already isolated from the outside world. With this natural tiankeng, no matter what the climate outside is, it won't have an impact."
"From another perspective, it can be considered a different kind of paradise."
"So, there may be animals and plants here that have become extinct in the outside world."
Although it is possible, Chen Chuan already has a high probability in his mind.
Because in just a short while, he had seen several species of plants that were almost extinct outside.
These plants are extremely rare in the outside world, and are almost non-existent except in the deep mountains and old forests.
Based on this point alone, Chen Chuan already had 80 to 90 percent confidence in his heart.
"Oh my god, the anchor is awesome!"
“It’s amazing that they can find it in this place!”
"I'd also like to come and see the legendary Peach Blossom Spring!"
“If we can really find those extinct plants and animals, then our anchor will really take off!”
“@Altay Geological Bureau, @Altay Institute of Zoology and Botany, come and have a look!”
Some netizens have already started to tag the official research institute in Altay.
How could they not be present for such an important discovery?
At this moment, the live broadcast room was suddenly flooded with gift special effects.
"Huazhong Research Institute sent rocket x10!"
"Host, come and thank us!"
As the system prompt sounded, the entire live broadcast room was filled with rocket special effects.
At the same time, it also attracted Chen Chuan's attention.
"Oh shit! A big guy shows up!" "Huazhong Research Institute? I think this name sounds familiar!"
"This is a famous private research institute in our country. Its coordinates are in XJ."
"I heard that they have been conducting research there for several years."
"However, although it is called the Central China Research Institute, its internal researchers are not Chinese, but foreigners."
Chen Chuan also saw this comment and had already made up his mind.
“Thanks for the support!”
After receiving so many gifts, Chen Chuan naturally expressed his gratitude.
Immediately afterwards, the Central China Research Institute also spoke out.
"You're welcome, host. We hope you can provide us with your current location. Our team would like to come over and investigate."
"If possible, we will reward you generously."
After posting this comment, they sent another ten rockets.
For a moment, the entire screen was swept by rocket special effects.
However, when he saw their words, Chen Chuan's face became a little gloomy.
really!
"Anchor, you have to pay attention!"
Some netizens saw that Chen Chuan hadn't spoken for so long and couldn't help but remind him.
Although this place was discovered by Chen Chuan, it is within the territory of China, so it belongs to China.
And this Central China Research Institute does not belong to their China.
If Chen Chuan really provided the address because of the little benefit promised by the other party, the consequences would be serious.
"What are you thinking? Is our anchor that kind of person?"
"That's right. The anchor has been broadcasting for so long, we old fans are very clear about what kind of person he is."
At this time, Chen Chuan also spoke.
"Thank you for the gift, but don't worry, you can follow our official account of Altay, they will announce the location when the time comes!"
"Fuck, that's awesome!"
It not only responded to the answer from the Central China Institute, but also indirectly expressed its own attitude.
Anyway, they won’t announce the location now. If you want to know where it is, just follow the official account.
However, no one will know what is inside by then.
"The host did the right thing! This place is within our territory, and everything inside also belongs to our country. How can we allow other research institutes to study it?"
"Yes! Thumbs up for the anchor!"
"Like +1!"
The live broadcast room was filled with special effects showing thumbs up to the anchor, directly replacing the rocket special effects previously sent by the Central China Research Institute.
"Thank you all for the gifts!"
A smile also appeared on Chen Chuan's face.
At this time, someone sent a message to his live broadcast background.
"Host, I know you just said you were embarrassed to contact me. You can add me on WeChat and we can chat privately. You can also make any requests regarding compensation!"
"And on your side, you just need to send us a location!"
It was still a message sent by the Central China Research Institute.
The other party probably saw that netizens were all persuading Chen Chuan and thought that Chen Chuan was embarrassed, so he posted it again.
A QR code is attached after this passage.
I guess it’s their WeChat QR code.
Chen Chuan took a glance and replied.
"Thank you for your kindness. I've said before that the official location will be announced later. You can come back then and it will be the same!"
"As for the gift you just gave me, I will also return the same way."
After sending these two messages, he clicked into his wallet and returned the money for the twenty rockets.
Twenty rockets, tens of thousands of dollars, may be something others would be reluctant to part with, but for Chen Chuan, these are far less valuable than his current discovery.
After finishing everything, Chen Chuan returned to the live broadcast room.
The topic just now has passed and netizens did not mention it again.
"Oh, let's take a break! I'm so tired after walking all morning!"
As Zhang Hao spoke, he found a tree on the spot and sat down leaning against it.
"Hey, you know what, this tree is quite comfortable to lean against, and it smells nice."
Zhang Hao picked up a leaf from the ground out of boredom and spoke while turning around.
"There are still fruits on your tree!"
Liu Yiyi pointed at the top of his head and said.
"Chen Chuan, can this fruit be eaten?"
Hearing this, Chen Chuan looked up.
The next second, he stood up in shock and walked in front of Zhang Hao.
Everyone was confused by his actions.
"Chen Chuan, what have you discovered?"
Everyone looked at him curiously.
"This, this is a salt birch tree!"
Chen Chuan reached out and gently stroked the trunk, then carefully observed the leaves and fruits.
It's finally confirmed.
This is the salt birch.
"Salt birch? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Liu Yiyi was a little confused.
"Of course you haven't heard of it, because this tree has been clearly declared extinct in the plant kingdom!"
“I didn’t expect it to grow in this place.”
"Sure enough, we came to the right place this time."
Apart from anything else, this salt-bearing birch tree alone is very valuable.
"Fuck, the host is awesome! He said there might be extinct plants and animals, and they really are!"
"Salt birch. I just searched on Baidu, but I didn't find anything specific."
"It's just that this tree grows in the Altay region, but it was declared extinct decades ago."
"Hahaha, our brother Hao is lucky today!"
Just when netizens were chatting enthusiastically.
Chen Chuan's phone suddenly rang.
It is a landline number starting with zero.
When netizens saw the number, they immediately posted comments.
"Hang up, it's a scam call!"
"Don't answer any number starting with zero."
"Correct!"
Seeing the barrage, Chen Chuan smiled.
"This is not a scam call, but it's great that everyone has such a strong awareness of fraud prevention!"
After saying that, he answered the phone.
"Hello!"
The other side said immediately.
"Hello, I am a staff member of the Altay Institute of Zoology and Botany. We just watched your live broadcast and learned that you have discovered traces of salt birch trees."
"Here we hope you can break off a branch and bring it out for us to study, okay?"
"of course can!"
Chen Chuan smiled and agreed.
This scene was shown in the live broadcast room and netizens were stunned.
"Well, the host just agreed to this? Isn't that bad?"
"Is there really no problem with that number?"
"If you don't believe me, you can search for that number. There's a surprise!"
After a while, some netizens came back.
“Fuck, that number is actually the official number of the Altay Institute of Zoology and Botany!
No wonder the host agreed so readily, must he have recognized her a long time ago?"
"I didn't expect that the official side came so quickly. The anchor Zhe just found out and they came."
"Of course, the people upstairs don't know how big of a sensation it would be if something that has been extinct reappeared, right?"
Chen Chuan hung up the phone and happened to see this sentence, so he casually explained it.
“No matter what kind of animal or plant it is, once it is officially declared extinct, it means that it will disappear forever from the world’s plant list.”
"Unless someone can find it by chance in some uninhabited area like me."
"The salt birch tree likes light, likes moist soil, is salt-tolerant, cold-tolerant, and resistant to atmospheric drought."
"It is very suitable for planting in the arid, semi-arid and saline-alkali areas of the northwest. It helps to prevent wind and sand and keep the soil moist."
"However, because this tree was declared extinct decades ago, we can no longer see it. The leaves that used to protect against wind and sand have been replaced by other trees."
After listening to Chen Chuan’s science popularization, netizens were shocked.
"Wow, so we can be considered to have witnessed history with the anchor, right?"
"Of course, the reappearance of the once extinct salt birch is a historic moment, isn't it?"
"That's great. We followed a good anchor who can lead us to success!"
Some people even tagged their friends.
"And you, my friend, you are even a step slower than me in eating bran!"
"Hahaha, I tagged my friend here too!"
After finishing the popular science lecture, Chen Chuan reached out and broke off a salt birch branch and put it in his backpack.
"Take some more rest!"
Chen Chuan looked around again and didn't find any special plants, so he sat down.
This time, no accidents happened.
The group ate something, drank some water, and prepared to move on.
"Erha, Dahuang, let's go!"
Chen Chuan shouted, and the Husky, who was peeing not far away, quickly ran over.
After all, this is a primeval forest. As soon as he came in, Chen Chuan called the kids together.
If anything happens, they can take action in time.
"Hmm? Where's Da Huang?"
Chen Chuan waited for a while, but still didn't see Da Huang, and his face was full of confusion.
"I just saw Da Huang running over there!"
A netizen who was watching the live broadcast pointed Chen Chuan in the right direction.
"Yes, I saw it too. Looking at Da Huang's appearance at that time, it seemed as if he was following something!"
"Keep sniffing the ground."
"Also, there seemed to be something like a turtle crawling over on the ground at that time."
Seeing the barrage, Chen Chuan raised his foot and chased in the direction where Da Huang left.
After walking a few steps, I heard Dahuang's barking from the front.
The voice sounded a little scary.
Chen Chuan hurriedly sped up and ran forward.
The Huskies are fast and have already caught up.
Soon, they saw Dahuang's figure.
I saw Rhubarb standing on a patch of wet grass, motionless.
Probably hearing the noise, it turned its head and cried out in grievance.
“Awoo, awoo, awoo”
Master, save the wolf!
"Da Huang, come here? What are you doing standing there?"
Seeing Dahuang standing there motionless, Liu Yiyi subconsciously raised her foot and wanted to go over and bring it back.
However, just as she raised her foot, she was pulled back by Chen Chuan.
"Wait, don't go over there yet, this is a swamp!"
"What? Swampland!"
Hearing this, Liu Yiyi quickly took several steps back.
"Look at Da Huang's footprints. There is obviously mud underneath."
Chen Chuan pointed in front of them, to the plum blossom mark of Da Huang.
"Yes, I noticed it too, and Dahuang is still slowly sinking, but the amplitude is so small that you can't notice it if you don't pay attention."
Nie Feng also said with a sullen face.
In fact, it is normal for swamps to appear in such places.
After all, it is a primeval forest tiankeng, with abundant vegetation and moist soil.
But Dahuang didn't pay attention and got caught up in it.
"Now what?"
Liu Yiyi asked.
"Just put a rope on it and pull it out!"
As he spoke, Chen Chuan took out a hemp rope from his bag, made a loop on it, and threw it towards Dahuang.
One hit!
It hit Dahuang's head perfectly.
"Da Huang, we're pulling you out now, don't move, understand?"
Before pulling, Chen Chuan gave another reminder.
In a swamp, the more you struggle, the faster you sink, so the best thing to do is to try not to move.
If there is something solid around you, you can use it to pull yourself out.
If you can't, it's best to increase your force-bearing area as much as possible and then slowly float over.
"Ow!"
understood!
Dahuang nodded.
Then, Chen Chuan and his team started to exert their strength.
Fortunately, Chen Chuan and his team discovered it early, and Dahuang was not trapped too deeply.
Several people worked together and quickly pulled Dahuang's foot out.
Then, in order to prevent it from sinking again, Chen Chuan simply let Da Huang lie flat on the swamp and they dragged it out.
"Eh? Is Da Huang holding something in his mouth?"
Suddenly, Liu Yiyi squatted down and asked in confusion.
"what?"
Chen Chuan also squatted down, opened Dahuang's mouth, and saw it.
A turtle was struggling in its mouth.
Seeing the light, the turtle immediately crawled out and fell to the ground.
"What kind of turtle is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"
Liu Yiyi reached out and poked the turtle's head.
The next second, it retracted its head into its shell.
Chen Chuan picked it up, looked at it carefully, and then said:
"This should be a Chinese soft-shelled turtle, and it's a female!"
The turtle is dark green in color, with a relatively flat carapace, 13 carapace segments and three ridges.
The plastron is brownish yellow, with large dark brown patches on each scutellum, and several yellow stripes on the snout, head and throat.
The one in front of me is about the size of a man's palm, so it should be a female.
Immediately afterwards, the system prompt sounded:
[Congratulations to the host for unlocking a new illustration of a rare animal - Chinese turtle]
[Reward: Bounce Enhancement (Host can jump up to three meters with one jump)]
Chen Chuan was a little surprised when he saw this reward.
Three meters!
The average floor is only about two meters high.
In other words, he can jump directly from the first floor to the second floor with this one jump.
No need to take the stairs anymore.
Just jump on it.
Chen Chuan said one sentence and then stopped talking.
This confused the netizens who had been waiting for him to speak.
"???"
"Where's the back?"
"Gone?"
"Chinese soft-shelled turtle, this species of turtle, this is the first time I've heard of it!"
"What's wrong with you, anchor? Show your professionalism and shock the world!"
Seeing their comments, Chen Chuan smiled helplessly.
"This type of turtle is very rare, and humans haven't done much research on it, so I'm not sure how many there are."
"Oh~ So you didn't know. I was wondering why there was no other sound afterwards!"
Some netizens joked.
"Finally, there's an animal that the anchor doesn't know about. How rare!"
"It seems that the anchor is not omnipotent!"
“I’m not omnipotent.”
Chen Chuan explained, "I know a lot, just because I like to study these things."
"It can be said that I know basically everything that is recorded in the book."
"But for something like the Chinese soft-shelled turtle, there is absolutely no written record, so I have no way of knowing about it!"
