"How is this called not learning well?" Lin Tian argued indignantly, "Confucius said: 'Food and sex are human nature!' Even Confucius couldn't avoid vulgarity, so how can I, such a common person, avoid it?"
"You're just talking nonsense! You got not only the aning wrong but also the source!" He Qianqian laughed.
"I got it wrong?" Lin Tian was taken aback.
"Wrong!"
"Really?"
He Qianqian nodded and explained with a smile, "This quote is from Zi Gao! 'Food' refers to likes; 'sex' refers to beauty. It ans that liking beautiful things is natural."
After hearing He Qianqian's explanation, Lin Tian was imnsely embarrassed.
He had gotten both the aning and the author wrong!
This mistake was truly embarrassing!
"Claiming to be a top scorer in college entrance exam, yet you got this wrong!" Bu ngting teased with a smile.
Lin Tian felt very awkward, touching his nose and looking around.
He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into!
Seeing sothing fun not too far away, Lin Tian quickly pointed in that direction and said to change the subject, "There's an elephant-riding experience over there, let's go play!"
The elephant-riding experience was a new attraction that the zoo had just opened.
Lin Tian had suggested to co to the zoo with He Qianqian and Bu ngting precisely because he had heard about this new attraction from his dorm mate Feng Jiabao and wanted to bring them for the experience.
"Elephant riding? Hurry up! Let's go check it out!" Upon hearing Lin Tian's words, Bu ngting imdiately beca interested and started running towards it, dragging both He Qianqian and Lin Tian with her.
"Why are you running so fast? No one's going to snatch it from you!" He Qianqian said with a wry smile.
Bu ngting cutely stuck out her tongue, and said sowhat sheepishly, "I know no one's going to snatch it! But I just want to ride the elephant sooner!"
"You really like riding elephants that much? When we have a long vacation, I'll take you to Thailand! We'll have plenty of fun!" Lin Tian laughed.
"That's a promise!"
As they spoke, the three arrived at the elephant riding experience area.
There were indeed quite a few people wanting to ride the elephants.
After paying, even then, they had to queue!
Lin Tian paid, got a number ticket, and led He Qianqian and Bu ngting to the waiting area, chatting while they waited.
It wasn't long before their number was called.
A majestic-looking elephant, on command from the staff with specific hand signals, knelt down like a docile kitten.
With guidance from the staff, the three of them took their seats on the soft couch on the elephant's back.
"Wow! This is amazing!" No sooner had the elephant stood up than Bu ngting couldn't help but raise her hands high, waving them vigorously and cheering loudly.
The staff beside them were startled and quickly gestured to her to be quiet.
"What, I can't cheer?" Bu ngting asked, curious.
The staff quickly explained, "Loud cheers might startle the elephant. If the elephant gets frightened, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
These weren't empty words!
An adult male Asian elephant weighs at least around 4,500 to 5,000 kilograms.
With its trendous weight and huge size, should it go berserk, a single stomp could turn a living human into a mushy pulp in an instant.
"I got it!" After hearing the staff's explanation, Bu ngting gave an embarrassed smile and obediently put down her hands.
Even though they couldn't cheer, Lin Tian and his friends still had a great ti.
After all, they had only ever seen elephants before and had never ridden one, so today was a first, naturally feeling both fresh and curious.
However, things always turn out unexpectedly!
As Lin Tian and his friends were having a great ti, an elephant nearby, for so unknown reason, got frightened and went berserk!
Thump thump thump!
The rampaging elephant's footsteps on the ground were like an earthquake.
Everyone in the experience area was dumbfounded!
The tourists scrambled to take cover, afraid that if they were careless, they would beco souls under the huge elephant's iron feet.
Even if they weren't stepped on, a poke from the tusks was unbearable.
It would undoubtedly be a through-and-through chilling pierce by the tusk!
Everyone was running for their lives.
But there were exceptions!
A girl around seventeen or eighteen years old, probably petrified by the rampaging elephant, was just standing there dazed, not moving an inch.
Thump thump thump!
The crazed elephant, with its long tusks, was charging towards the girl.
"Hey, run!"
"Get out of the way, child!"
"Run!"
People nearby couldn't help but yell at the girl.
But the girl seed as if she didn't hear them at all.
Still stupidly standing there unmoved!
"Oh no! There's going to be trouble!" Seeing this, Lin Tian's heart skipped a beat, and he leaped down from the elephant he was riding.
"Lin Tian, don't go! It's too dangerous!" Bu ngting urgently tried to stop him.
He Qianqian also followed, shouting, "Don't go! It's too late!"
"Don't worry, I won't get hurt!" Lin Tian didn't look back as he threw out a sentence, his whole body as fast as lightning, sprinting toward the dazed girl.
Five ters!
Three ters!
One ter!
Just as the elephant's tusk was about to reach the girl, Lin Tian, like an arrow released from a bow, threw himself forward, embracing the girl and narrowly avoiding the gut-wrenching danger.
The two of them took advantage of the montum to roll on the spot, rolling to a distance of five or six ters!
Lin Tian slowly exhaled a breath.
But he did not relax!
A distance of five or six ters—the elephant could charge over in just a few steps; it was only a temporary escape from danger, not at all safe.
"This won't do! If this elephant is allowed to rampage, soone will inevitably be unable to dodge in ti! I must stop it!" Lin Tian pondered in his heart, then let go of the girl and charged towards the elephant.
Seeing the girl rescued by Lin Tian, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But in the blink of an eye, they all saw Lin Tian rush towards the elephant.
At this sight, everyone was stunned!
"What's happening?"
"Has that young man gone crazy?"
"Is he seeking death?"
All the onlookers couldn't bear to watch any longer and closed their eyes.
To dare rush towards an elephant with bare hands?
That was simply courting death!
At this mont, the only thought in Lin Tian's mind was to stop the rampaging elephant; he had no ti to pay attention to his surroundings nor the leisure to do so.
Whoosh!
Lin Tian sprinted to the back of the elephant and reached out his hand as fast as lightning.
The elephant's tail landed in Lin Tian's hand.
Imdiately after, Lin Tian moved to the right rear of the elephant, grabbed the elephant's tail with both hands, and with all his might, yanked it fiercely.
Thump!
The elephant fell heavily to the ground, kicking up dust.
Hearing the sound, everyone simultaneously opened their eyes.
Again, they were dumbfounded by what they saw!
To take down an elephant with bare hands?
Is this even humanly possible?
Just then, a staff mber nearby suddenly shouted, "Young man, please hold on for another half a minute, the tranquilizer gun is almost here!"
Hold on for another half a minute?
Hold on for half a minute?
Half a minute?
Instantly, Lin Tian felt an urge to drag that guy over and throw him under the elephant's feet to be trampled rcilessly.
Hold on my ass!
Do you think I am Salted Egg Superman or Superman?
This is an elephant, not a chicken!
Despite being extrely irritated, Lin Tian did not protest, but simply stood vigilantly next to the elephant, ready to take it down again at any mont.
The elephant struggled to get up a few tis but was about to stand upright again.
Lin Tian did not dare to take it lightly and decisively made his move once again!
Thump!
The elephant fell once more, stirring up dust.
But this ti, the elephant had learned its lesson and kept its tail flailing wildly, giving Lin Tian no chance to grab it again.
Just then, the voice of that annoying staff mber rang out again, "Young man, the tranquilizer gun is here! You'd better move away quickly!"
Without a word, Lin Tian quickly picked up the girl and retreated to a safe distance.
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
Three tranquilizer darts hit the elephant without fail.
The dosage of the tranquilizer must have been large!
After being hit, the elephant began to sway around twenty seconds later, struggling weakly for a while before collapsing.
Thump!
A cloud of dust rose from the ground.
The shouting staff mber rushed to Lin Tian's side first thing, excitedly grabbed his hand, and shook it vigorously, "Young man, I'm really grateful to you! If it weren't for you, there would have been casualties today..."
"No need to thank !" Lin Tian said with a wry smile, shaking his head as he struggled to free his hand.
"But I must thank you!" That guy, as if he had practiced joint locks, once again grabbed Lin Tian's hand accurately and shook it vigorously, "Young man, you are really amazing. I've never seen anyone take down an elephant with their bare hands before..."
Take down my ass!
Lin Tian imdiately felt an urge to give the guy a thorough thrashing.
And he knew if he let this staff mber go on, he would definitely make the headlines in Wu'an news tomorrow and beco the center of attention.
He had to get away quickly!
"Please! I don't want to be in the headlines tomorrow, nor do I want to be the center of attention!" Lin Tian said helplessly, shaking his head as he pulled away his hand and turned to leave.
The staff mber was taken aback for a mont before chasing after him, "Young man, can you leave so contact information? Later our leader will personally co to thank you..."
"I've already said, no thanks! I just hope you don't let sothing like today happen again!" Lin Tian waved his hand, intending to leave the experience area.
"Lin Tian, are you hurt?" He Qianqian ca to Lin Tian's side.
Without caring about the others nearby, she anxiously grabbed Lin Tian's hand and looked him up and down, bombarding him with questions.
"You idiot! Always showing off!" Bu ngting stepped forward and gave Lin Tian a punch, her eyes red as she said, "What would Qianqian and I do if you got hurt?"
"All right, I won't worry you again in the future!" Lin Tian said with a smile, sweeping his hand around, "Let's go! There are quite a few people watching us here!"
At that mont, the girl Lin Tian had saved approached.
Looking at Lin Tian, the girl gratefully said, "My na is Zhang Ya! Thank you for saving just now! If it hadn't been for you, by now I surely would have..."
"No need to thank !" Lin Tian waved his hand, interrupting Zhang Ya, and smiled, "But rember, next ti you're in danger, make sure to run away; don't be foolish and stand there frozen!"
Having said this, Lin Tian turned around and left, taking He Qianqian and Bu ngting with him.
