The pet king of the city
Chapter 111 National Treasure Armadillo Lizard
"After someone else's national treasure animal was invited by us, it ended up in our country and died of illness. This matter can be big or small, and we can't take it lightly!"
Lao Li said it very seriously, not joking at all.
"Yes."
"Suppose our giant pandas visit other countries and die inexplicably within two days. It is strange that we don't make trouble."
Chen Lie nodded in agreement.
The South African armadillo lizard is a very fierce appearance, but also has a domineering scale like a steel helmet. The head is a bit like a dragon in the myth. It is a first-class protected animal in South Africa and a world-class endangered animal.
But don't look at it as mighty, the actual body length is less than 20 cm, at first glance it looks like a reduced version of the dragon.
What's interesting is that this mini dragon has no sharp minions, does not spray flames or poisonous gas, is non-toxic and harmless, and is the prey of many wild animals.
Weakness makes them timid and fearful, and when they are in danger, they are even more amused.
When encountering danger, it will bite its own tail with one bite, but it bites its own tail with one bite, showing its whole body's scales, so as to protect its fragile abdomen and look forward to frightening the enemy.If there are terrains like hillsides nearby, they will roll down in this peculiar way and escape.
This ostrich-style defense has made their populations become smaller and smaller.
And their unique appearance and scarcity make their net worth so high that they can even be compared with the same weight of gold, which eventually leads to an increasingly serious situation of poaching.
"Hey."
"The armadillo lizard sent from South Africa this time is too special."
"Not only is the body much larger than the ordinary one, but it also looks more mighty, more in line with the dragon in myths and legends."
"Someone once offered tens of millions of dollars to buy from the South African government, but it was rejected."
Old Li smiled bitterly, "We can't let it die out of such a special national treasure, at least we can't die in our country."
"understanding."
"But why did you come to me?"
"After all, I'm just an ordinary pet shop owner."
Chen Lie vaguely guessed.
"ordinary?"
"Will the pet shop owner who can raise tigers and pandas be ordinary people?"
Old Li looked at Chen Lie with weird eyes and asked, "Now the whole country is helpless with that South African national treasure, so I thought of you, a strange person who can extend the life of rhubarb."
Chen Lie asked with a smile: "A dead horse is a living doctor?"
"Yes."
Old Li did not deny it either.
But Lao Li will be a man, saying: "Of course, this time I won't let you do it for nothing."
"Oh?"
Chen Lie still wants to make Li Lao owe an adult.
It seems that Mr. Li's favor is not so easy to take.
Lao Li said: "You know, with the outbreak of the Internet and the booming express delivery industry, the ties between countries are getting closer and closer, so many weird things enter the customs through various methods."
Chen Lie knew about this, and the news had reported it before.
It's very crazy that pets that haven't been quarantined are delivered directly by express delivery.
Those buyers don’t have to think about what kind of disasters these pets will cause if they bring in some inexplicable germs.
Lao Li continued: "There are so many animals seized by the customs every year, and the reception center is completely full."
"So?"
Chen Lie knew what Old Li was going to say and was full of expectations.
Lao Li finally said: "Because of the animal protection organization, most of the confiscated pets have been quarantined and vaccinated. But after all, these are confiscated, and the customs is not a commercial organization, so there is no suitable channel for sale, or Placement."
Lao Li did not appetite, saying: "No matter whether you can cure that lizard, I can take you to the shelter to pick a pet. If you can cure it, I will let them give you a very favorable price."
"I understand."
Chen Lie was very curious about the customs house.
He had heard that Eastern buyers dared to buy everything, such as tigers smuggled from Southeast Asia, giant pythons caught in the primitive rainforest, and murderous electric eels from South America.
If you can receive a powerful one, it will be fun.
So Chen Lie asked, "Where is the armadillo lizard? If it's too far away, I can't help it."
"It's in Yangcheng."
When Mr. Li heard Chen Lie's promise, he was relieved.
Chen Lie asked: "When will we leave?"
"It's not too late!"
"The armadillo lizard has only one breath, and now it can only do its best to keep alive."
Old Li is very decisive.
"OK."
Chen Lie confessed to Ren Qing and the others, and set off with Lao Li.
Pengcheng is adjacent to Yangcheng.
As long as the traffic is smooth, two hours can pass.
It's just that the two cities are first-tier cities in China, how can the traffic flow unimpeded.
Fortunately, Mr. Li's driver is very skilled.
It only took an hour and a half to reach the destination.
This is the most famous pet hospital in the south.
And now, the people inside are in utter despair.
Lao Li brought Chen Lie to appear, which attracted the attention of many people.
Leaving aside Li's special status, Chen Lie's popularity in the pet circle is enough to attract a lot of attention.
"Hey, isn't he a pet brother? Why did he come here?"
"It seems that Mr. Li brought him here. Does Mr. Li want Brother Pet to help train the pet?"
"Is there something wrong with your head? The pet training is here? A little more rigorous logical thinking will not be as whimsical as you."
Chen Lie has long been familiar with being criticized and turned a blind eye.
"Old Li."
"You are..."
An old doctor looked at Chen Lie suspiciously.
Lao Li asked unceremoniously, "Is that armadillo lizard getting better?"
The old veterinarian shook his head awkwardly.
"Then don't get in the way!"
Old Li's temper was ignited, not only to say, but also to directly shake the old veterinarian to the side.
Then Lao Li took Chen Lie to the special nursing room.
Old Li asked: "Should I go in?"
Chen Lie looked at the old veterinarian whose face was all black.
"Don't care about them!"
Old Li was even more polite.
Chen Lie thought for a while, and finally shook his head: "No, I can just look out the glass window."
