Beast Studio

Liu Wei didn't want to disturb the villagers. When she set up the tent, she found Anna standing on the side silly, only to remember that she was in a hurry when she left, and didn't prepare a tent for Anna.

"Tonight, when you sleep in a tent, I will let Fatty accompany you, and I will go to the villagers' house for a night!" Liu Wei said.

Anna looked at the tent stretched out on the ground and questioned: "What's wrong? Can't sleep? This tent is enough for three people to sleep!"

Liu Wei did not expect the Russian girl to be so open and smiled: "We just met, this is not good!"

Anna smiled slightly, thinking that Liu Wei was a good man, worried: "I sleep outside alone, what if there is a beast?"

"This is a village. Generally, few beasts enter the village directly. Even if they sneak in, the fat will find out that it will call out to remind me that you only need to stay in the tent not to come out!"

Anna tugged on the plain tent and doubted: "Can you resist the beast?"

"You can rest assured!" Liu Wei said confidently, "This is a military technology that your country can't create!"

I thought that what the system provided did not know what civilization left behind, and the wisdom of contemporary humans may not reach that level.

Liu Wei turned off the live broadcast and asked Chubby to go to a villager's house with lights on.

Knocked on the door.

The door was unlocked and opened automatically. The family was sitting in front of the stove for dinner while turning their heads and looking at Liu Wei with a surprised look.

Liu Wei explained his intention with a smile.

The older women in the family are very friendly and invited Liu Wei to have dinner together. Liu Wei paid a certain fee.

He felt that in a foreign country, it was safer to buy peace of mind with money.

The man at home accepted Liu Wei's money with a smile and was very polite to Liu Wei.

The man took Liu Wei to the next room and turned on the light. There was only a simple bed in the room, covered with a red patterned blanket that had not been cleaned in a long time.

Liu Wei's attention rested on the photos on the wall beside the bed.

The man followed Liu Wei’s eyes and pointed at the photo and said in English: “Lion!”

Liu Wei nodded, "I know the lion!"

There are several pictures of lions hanging on the wall.

Liu Wei noticed a picture that was obviously different from other lions. After getting the man’s consent, he took it down and looked carefully. The lion in the picture in his hand was an African lion, while the other pictures were all Asian lions.

He asked curiously: "Is this photo taken by you?"

The man shook his head, "It was sent by an expert!"

"Expert?" Liu Wei thought, "Expert who studies lions?"

The man nodded.

That said, the local indigenous people have no chance to meet the African lion. The two places that experts who study lions must go are the African grassland and the Gil National Park in India. The two places live the only two remaining in the world. Subspecies of lions.

Liu Wei guessed that maybe the villagers in front of him and the experts who came here to explore the Asian lion went out to find the Asian lion.

He asked curiously: "Have you ever seen a lion?"

The man nodded, "I've seen it several times, and once killed my buffalo!"

After he finished speaking, he walked outside the house, Liu Wei followed him, and he took Liu Wei to the humble cattle circle at home.

Outside the bullpen is a lush meadow, and the other end of the meadow is the shrub forest Liu Wei is about to go to-the place where the Asian lion is most likely to have appeared.

Man pointing at the fence of the bullpen.

Liu Wei found several repairs.

"How did you deal with the bitten cow?" Liu Wei asked.

"Give him food, and the local government gave us some compensation!" he said casually.

Both his tone and his face showed that he didn't care. This was completely different from the situation when the villagers encountered the Siberian tiger in the northeast. Even though they all received government subsidies, the indigenous villagers in front of Liu Wei had With a little smile.

Reminiscent of a picture of a lion hanging beside the bed in the room, Liu Wei guessed that the family should be Hindus. In fact, more than 80% of people in India believe in Hinduism.

The Asian lion is an animal closely connected with the religious monarchy. In Sanskrit, the lion is called Sanghabi, which means "all monks".

There are descriptions of lions in the Buddhist Sutra Nirvana and the Theory of Great Wisdom. Lions are generally regarded as the symbolic animals of Buddha Shakyamuni.

Buddhism originated in India. According to the distribution of lion subspecies, from the Middle East of India to the Mediterranean coast, the distributed subspecies of lions are all Asian lions, also known as Persian subspecies.

The Asian lion is also a symbol of royal dignity and power. In the 3rd century BC, the Emperor Ashoka of the Peacock Dynasty was once in Charrant (one of the most important Buddhist relics in India. At that time, Shakyamuni was in Sal For the first time, Rand’s Bamboo Forest Abode told disciples) the image of a lion was engraved on the stone pillar, which was intended to promote life information contained in non-violence, tolerance and respect.

Ashoka may be one of the earliest rulers to promote the concept of animal protection. At the beginning of the 21st century, the pattern on the national emblem of the Republic of India was taken from the Asian lion shape on the pillar of Ashoka.

However, with the advancement of social civilization, human thought has become more scientific, and gradually submerged the power symbol of the Asian lion, and began to hunt and kill this species to obtain economic benefits. The explosion of the Indian population also robbed the Asian lion's living space, causing it Almost extinct.

Just like the Chinese crested ibis, it relies on the few surviving ones to breed. Although the number of Asian lions is increasing, the low number of breeding populations has led to a genetic decline. Today’s Asian lions are no longer the same.

To some extent, the Asian lion is more precious than the African lion.

Liu Wei looked at the smiles of the indigenous villagers and thanked them for their inclusive mentality. Together with the protection of the country, the Asian lion may still be able to survive on Earth for a while.

"Do you like lions?" Liu Wei asked the villagers.

The villager nodded with a smile, "I touched an old lion!"

"Oh!"

Liu Wei was surprised. Although the elderly lion did not like activities and had a calm personality, it was still a very dangerous thing for humans to touch it.

The man recounted: "Just when the lion killed my buffalo, I watched it finish eating the buffalo. After eating, it came to me. I thought it would attack me. I was very nervous. Run, afraid of being knocked down by it.

Unexpectedly, when it passed by me, it stopped for a while, I reached out and touched it, it did not attack me, and then left!"

After listening, Liu Wei smiled and said, "Maybe it is thanking you!

Can you help me lead the way tomorrow? I want to find a lion, I will pay you!"

"Of course, but it's very dangerous. If you can't get close, you won't need any money. I want to see it too. I haven't encountered them recently!

Liu Wei patted the man on the shoulder, "Relax, I am also an expert!"

After the two chatted, Liu Wei returned to the room and went to bed.

The next morning, Anna ran to the house to wake him. She learned from the villagers that she was going to find a lion today, and she was excited.
