Chapter 49: Gaining new abilities, a commission from the authorities

With the birth of two little snow ferrets, the squeaking cries of the cubs seemed to inject endless strength into the mother snow ferret.

It continues to bring more little lives into this world.

Its round belly gradually becomes flat as it gives birth.

After all the ferret cubs were born safely, the mother ferret finally closed her tired eyes contentedly.

"Oh, I hope nothing happened to the mother ferret?" Netizens expressed their concern.

Seeing this, Su Ran quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, it's just tired and needs a good rest."

After careful counting, it was found that the mother snow ferret gave birth to a total of twelve cubs.

Generally speaking, common ferrets give birth to about four to five pups each time, and the maximum number is 11. More than ten pups is indeed quite rare.

These twelve little ferrets, before they even opened their eyes, began to huddle together and call in baby voices.

Su Ran had never heard such a beautiful sound. Perhaps it was the magical power brought by new life.

"At birth, the cubs weigh only ten grams. But within a week, they triple their weight thanks to their mother's nutritious milk."

Su Ran continued to explain, "I observed that the mother ferret still has plenty of milk. But she is weak now. If there is no sufficient food source, it will be a big challenge to raise these little ferrets in this cold winter."

Typically, ferret pups don't start to get their baby teeth until they're two weeks old, and their fur starts to take shape at three weeks old.

At one month old, a baby ferret's world begins to really expand, as their eyes and ears open fully and their fur becomes thicker.

In a few weeks, they are completely weaned.

It's not until three months old that these little ferrets can really start to explore the big, wide world.

This means that Su Ran needs to take care of these little ferrets for up to three months.

Just as he was immersed in such thoughts, the mother ferret, who had recovered some strength, suddenly straightened up. She bit Su Ran's finger with her sharp little teeth and dragged him to a litter of newborn cubs.

"Wow, Brother Su, is the mother ferret taking you to let the little ferret recognize its master?" a netizen asked curiously.

"That's not the case. Maybe it just wants me to appreciate its achievements." Su Ran looked at the nest of little lives and felt that all his efforts were worth it. His eyes were shining with satisfaction and joy, as if he had seen the miracle of life.

The mother snow ferret rubbed against his fingers affectionately and was very close to Su Ran.

The behavior of wild animals is always unpredictable.

They live in the wild and often behave wildly when they first meet, because this is necessary for survival. But once they determine that something is harmless, they will show the closeness and trust that is unique to animals.

This trust is priceless and it comes from the respect and understanding of life for life.

The heartwarming scene of the ferret mother and child reuniting also warmed the hearts of netizens.

They looked at the images on the screen and felt the warmth and hope of life.

Deng Jiaying expressed deep gratitude to Su Ran on behalf of the local organization: "Thank you very much, anchor. It is you who saved the lives of thirteen ferrets."

The survival of these thirteen wild ferrets brings new hope and possibility to this endangered population.

Su Ran smiled slightly. He knew that all this effort and dedication was for these innocent lives and for this beautiful world.

"It doesn't matter. This is what I should do. I think anyone would do it if they were able to do so."

Netizens also admire Su Ran very much.

"Okay, Brother Su, you didn't tell us earlier that you studied veterinary medicine. You really did a good job hiding it."

"Su Shen is simply a god-like man. Can I ask you to deliver my wife's baby in the future?"

"Ah... is this okay, brother?"

"The anchor is a real man. You deserve these ten rockets."

The generous netizen directly gave ten rockets as a reward.

There was laughter and joy in the live broadcast room, and Su Ran felt very relieved.

"hiss……"

Suddenly, Su Ran felt an unusual pain in his brain, his eyes went dark, and he fell straight to the ground. Netizens were immediately horrified.

“Brother Su…!”

……

When Su Ran woke up, he didn't know how much time had passed.

I only remember that I was standing in the snow and my head felt like it was going to explode, and my eyes were stinging with pain.

Beside him, Chen Sisi's joyful voice rang out: "Mom, Grandpa, Su Ran is awake!"

The old man and Aunt Wang rushed in from outside, and when they saw that Su Ran had finally woken up, they felt relieved.

"How long have I slept?" Su Ran looked at Chen Sisi in confusion.

"It's been less than a day. You were unconscious from noon to evening. Now it's already twelve o'clock."

"Where's the ferret?"

"I brought it back. It's in your room now."

At this time, the little weasel jumped from the ground to the bed, stood on Su Ran's belly, and saw that his big brother finally woke up. The little guy buried his head in his arms.

Su Ran turned his head and looked towards the wall, muttering, "Why are there so many people outside?"

Chen Sisi was a little surprised: "How did you know?"

Su Ran had just woken up and there was no sound outside. How did he know that several animal experts from the province had come specially?
Su Ran was stunned for a moment.

Then, a huge feeling of joy welled up in his brows.

Because he discovered that his eyes had a new ability!

"Congratulations, you have received the blessing of nature. Your ability prompt has been upgraded to [Thermal Sensing]."

Su Ran can now not only see price prompts, but also calorie prompts within a certain range.

Just like thermal imaging, Su Ran saw several people outside through the wall.

In other words, I upgraded this ability only after I rescued the mother and child ferrets?
Su Ran suddenly smiled.

With this ability, he can not only avoid attacks from nearby wild animals when he goes up the mountain, but he can even detect the traces of poachers in advance.

This is definitely a life-saving ability!
"You finally woke up."

Outside the door, a young woman and a middle-aged man walked in.

Seeing that Su Ran was somewhat confused, the woman smiled and explained herself: "Hello, my name is Deng Jiaying, and I am a staff member of the Provincial Institute of Animals. This is our director Li Huaian."

Deng Jiaying?
Li Huaian?
Su Ran seemed to remember seeing these two names in the live broadcast room: "It's you."

"Well, we were so worried when you passed out. The director and I called the police right away." Deng Jiaying smiled and said, "I'm glad you found a good pet."

"You mean Dahei?"

"Yes, when you were unconscious, the snow ferret mother ran to you and used her body to keep you warm, while Dahei was on guard nearby. It was also she who led the rescuers to find you on the way."

It turned out to be like this...

Su Ran smiled with relief.

My palms are wet and itchy.

It was Dahei who was licking him.

"What's the matter with you coming here?" Su Ran paused, "Are you going to take the ferret away?"

Snow ferrets are protected animals and are extremely precious. Su Ran didn't find it strange that they were brought to the zoo by this group of experts.

I just feel a little regretful for some reason.

Unexpectedly, Deng Jiaying shook her head and said, "No, on the contrary, we hope that you can bring up the ferret safely."
