"Your Majesty, is this really Chi You's mount from ancient times?”
Looking at the panda hugging Jian Heng's thigh and acting cute, Li Si was deeply suspicious.
"Now that you mention it, I remember that there was indeed a record of an iron-eating beast in the library of the emperor's palace. Moreover, in the Shu Prefecture area, someone had seen a black-and-white bear-like thing. Rumor had it that they would bite farming tools when people were not around, so they were called iron-eating beasts.”
It was only when Ying Zheng heard the name 'Iron-eating Beast', that he remembered that he had also received a memorial about this beast a year ago.
"I see, but this Iron Eater.。。。。”Li Si looked at the panda that had revealed its belly to Jian Heng and seemed to understand why Chi You had lost the Battle of Zhulu.
After a while, Zhao Yun walked over with a bundle of bamboo. When the two pandas saw that there was bamboo to eat, they immediately gave up on Jian Heng and ran in front of Zhao Yun to act cute.
The panda's naivety immediately made the surrounding villagers laugh. They thought that these two were ferocious beasts, but they were actually so cute.
"Village chief…This…" Zhao Yun turned her head to look at Jian Heng, seemingly somewhat at a loss about the development before her eyes.
"Just throw the bead on the ground.”
Hearing this, Zhao Yun hurriedly threw the bamboo on her shoulder to the ground.
When the two pandas saw that there was bamboo to eat, they did not care about anything else. They quickly grabbed the bamboo and began to chew.
"Alright, you can all disperse. This panda has a gentle personality and won't hurt people easily. I plan to keep them in the village so that everyone can see them anytime in the future.”
Since he had encountered them, Jian Heng naturally couldn't let them go. Although it did cost a little money to raise these two, the base of Peach Blossom Village could completely afford it.
After seeing that the two pandas were not aggressive at all, the villagers did not have any objections. The panda's series of cute actions could be said to have captured the hearts of most of the people present.
Even Brother Zheng was thinking about whether he should get a panda and keep it in the palace when he went out.
"Do you two want to come with me? I have a lot of bamboo here.”
Jian Heng said to the panda. Ying Zheng and Li Si rolled their eyes subconsciously. No matter how cute the panda was, it was still a beast. How could it understand human language?
However, the next second, the cruel reality slapped their faces.
The two pandas looked at the bamboo in their hands and then looked at Jian Heng. They hesitated for a second before they hugged Jian Heng's thigh firmly.
" This kind of beast can actually understand human nature?"
Seeing this, Ying Zheng and Li Si looked at each other in dismay. Had these two pandas become spirits?
Jian Heng touched the heads of the two pandas again. He had to admit that the feeling of touching the pandas was really good.
After that, Jian Heng asked the village architect to build a new home for the panda.
During the design, Jian Heng thought of the panda's suicidal nature, so he asked the architect to cancel all the conical buildings.
After all, this was one of the few animals that had no natural enemies but played with themselves until they were almost extinct. Their ability to court death could be ranked among the top in the animal world.
The cute image of the panda was liked by all the villagers of Peach Blossom Village. When they heard that they were going to make a new home for the panda, the young and middle-aged people in the village all offered to help.
In just two days, the panda's new home was completed.
The two pandas were very satisfied with their new home. This life was much more comfortable than in the wild. They didn't have to do anything every day, and there were people feeding them.
Even Ying Zheng's trio would visit the panda from time to time. Seeing that the panda was acting cute every day when it had nothing to do, Ying Zheng's desire to raise a panda grew stronger and stronger.
"Village Chief, I have something to ask.”Li Si asked as he looked at the panda eating bamboo happily.
"What is it? Just say it."
"Previously, you said that the panda is also called an iron-eating beast. As the name suggests, this thing should eat iron.。。。”
"Hai, the Iron-eating Beast is just a name. It is because the people in the Shu Prefecture area will encounter the situation of pandas eating ironware, so they mistakenly believe that pandas are eating iron, but this is not the case.”
"Oh, I'd like to hear the details."
"What you don't know is that, including bronze ware, even eating farm tools is a myth. Most pandas lick cooking utensils. When the panda's body lacked salt, it would go to the residents 'homes to lick the cooking utensils to replenish the salt. However, many people did not know the panda's habits, so they thought that they were eating iron.”
Of course, there were also many records of pandas eating farm tools. However, according to Jian Heng, some residents 'farmland had higher salt and alkali-based soil, so farm tools would also have salt.
"I see."
Li Si was suddenly enlightened. If he hadn't heard Jian Heng's explanation, he really wouldn't have known that pandas had this side to them.
"So, as long as we give the pandas some salt on time, they won't run around. It just so happens that Peach Blossom Village lacks everything, but not salt.”
Jian Heng's words stunned Li Si.
One had to know that even Xianyang Palace sometimes had a situation where they could not supply salt. Village Chief Jian Heng actually said that Peach Blossom Village did not lack salt?
Li Si felt like he had discovered something extraordinary.
