039, The Story of the Elk

When the foreigner who was watching the news was holding a photo of a tree lobster, Ding Qi was stunned again. The picture was very clear. After pulling it with his fingers, he could see many details of this stick insect. He had clearly seen this insect many times when he was a child.

When my father was alive, he often took him to his hometown in the countryside to visit his grandfather. Sometimes he would live at his uncle's house for a while during the winter and summer vacations, and often slept in the mountains and forests with the children in the village. He had seen this kind of stick insect, and some of them had large sizes and photos, probably more than 12 centimeters.

This kind of thing is not common, but you can find it occasionally, but you have been hiking in the mountains and forests more often, and the number of times you have seen it is not too small. The villagers in my hometown are not biologists. They call it tree bugs, and it is said that they can be roasted and eaten. Dante Qi has never roasted tree bugs because he is not very brave to catch them.

The tree lobster is the largest stick insect in the world? The tree bug news photos that Ding Qi saw when he was a child are even larger, and the shape and details are almost exactly the same. They should be the tree lobster. Biologists announced that it has been extinct for eighty years. It seems that there is no latest discovery in the South Pacific, and this conclusion is also likely to be wrong.

The survey in the biology community is based on statistical conclusions. It is possible to declare that a species has become extinct without a credible sighting report within a few years. However, in many remote areas, some people have seen it but don’t know what species it is, and they have neither left behind any image data nor thought of any biological research results.

Thinking of the suspected tree lobster I had seen in the mountainous area of ​​my hometown, Ding Qi remembered another animal, which was scientifically called elk, commonly known as Sibuli. Ding Qi can be 100% sure. The biology community's investigation conclusions on this species have been wrong for many years. Of course, this error is not a mistake from the scientific research perspective, but the statistical conclusions do not match the actual situation.

Ding Qi's uncle participated in farmland water conservancy construction in the 1970s and 1980s, and saw elks in the mountains several times. In recent years, the ecological environment in his hometown has become better and better, and there are more traces of elks. Later, Ding Qi also saw the wild four-way scene with his own eyes. He not only saw them, but even ate them!

Elk is called "stewed zi" locally. Ding Qi doesn't know how to write the word, but only knows the pronunciation. This is the local dialect of the mountainous areas of my hometown. I remember one year when I returned to my hometown during the Chinese New Year, a neighbor hunted a stewed zi in the mountains. Every household in the village was given meat to eat. Of course, Ding Qi ate it, and the taste was quite good!

Wild animals are now protected and will be severely punished if they are caught in poaching. However, in mountainous and rural areas, such things happen from time to time. If you beat a wild boar, trap a rabbit, etc. As long as it is not too much, the law enforcement department will turn a blind eye. They are all from the villagers, and there are only a few people in the township police station, so how can they handle them all?

The local wild game has always been said to be deer, deer, deer and rabbit. The ranking order is based on the degree of deliciousness, and it is also said that deer is the best, followed by deer. In fact, the braised meat is also very delicious, but because the number of beaten is very small, it was not included in the ranking. I don’t know if it is a pity or luck.

Elk, deer antlers, horse face, cow hooves, and donkey tails, so it is called Sibuli. In "The Romance of the Gods", it was once Jiang Ziya's mount. When the Eight-Nation Alliance entered Beijing, it snatched the Sibuli population raised by the Nanhaizi Royal Hunting Garden, transported this precious and different animal to the UK and raised it in the Wubang Temple Manor. From then on, it claimed that the elk had disappeared in the wild environment.

This was the conclusion announced by the British biology community before World War I: elks have disappeared all over the world, and only the Ubon Temple Manor in the UK was available. Later, the world biology community also recognized this conclusion, including domestic ones, because there were indeed no scientific research reports on elk traces found in the wild environment.

In 1985, through diplomatic efforts and under the coordination of the World World Nature Foundation, twenty-two elks were sent back to Elk Garden in Nanhaizi Park, Beijing from the UK. In 1986, another thirty-nine elks were sent back to Dafeng Nature Reserve in Jiangsu, and the elk population was reproduced within the country.

This is a legendary story, behind it is a humiliating history, and for the elk population, it is also a life experience of separation. However, in Ding Qi's hometown and the mountainous areas of Jingyang County, local people do not know this conclusion from the world's biology community, and the four-dimensional world has never disappeared.

Some people saw the four-dimensional image in the mountains, but this cannot prove that the existence of wild elks is not confirmed because there is no formal scientific research report. It is difficult to photograph elks in the deep mountains and forests. It is easy to be frightened. It can be heard from afar and run away. The footprints left are very similar to cow's hoof prints. What's more, when Ding Qi was a child, there was no camera in the entire village in his hometown.

So what about Sibuli who was beaten by the villagers in the mountains? Of course, it was eaten, and Ding Qi had eaten it. No one would take photos and leave evidence. This kind of thing was illegal. The neighbors beat the meat to the whole village to eat, which meant that everyone would keep it confidential.

The existence of wild four-dimensional characters is self-evident in the local mountainous areas. But many people only know that there are braised rice, and they have never even heard of anything like elk.

If the scientific expedition team wants to obtain accurate information, it will not only be equipped with trigger shooting equipment on a large scale in the deep mountains and forests, but whether it is organizing the scientific expedition team or installing the equipment, it requires funds, and no one will go there to do scientific expeditions because of rumors. Therefore, when you look up any public official information and academic theories, the conclusion is that elk has long disappeared in the wild environment.

It was not until 2009 that a scientific expedition team discovered a population of 27 wild elks at one time, which corrected the conclusions of the biology community and confirmed that the wild environment has always survived and reproduced. As for Ding Qi's hometown, no matter how people think that elks have always lived in the deep mountains and forests.

The story of the elk also tells Ding Qi: Some things and some places in this world, whether people recognize or think they exist, they always exist. The reason why people don’t know its existence is because most people cannot see it or even turn a blind eye; if someone can see it, they always know it, but others cannot see it, and they don’t believe it.

Like a deer, like the eight gates of the rivers and lakes, like the secret realm of the outside world that he is still looking for...

Ding Qi stood by the river and searched for information about elk and searched for relevant scientific research reports. He felt a little incredible. Elk is not a crustacean such as Yangcai-armed beetle or tree lobster, but a large mammal weighing up to 500 to 600 kilograms. He lives under people's noses, but is considered to be extinct in the wild environment.

He subconsciously refreshed the news push app he had just read, and a past news report popped up: "The Irish deer that had become extinct more than 7,000 years ago was discovered in the jungle again not long ago!"

Ding Qi was speechless, feeling that he had been defeated by a small mobile phone. The species of elk has never been extinct, but is considered to have disappeared in the wild environment. The Irish giant deer has been extinct for nearly ten thousand years. Where did this come from? It seems that there are really strange things in this world. Ding Qi is not a biologist and cannot explain such a problem.

In the following days, Ding Qi still went to the park every day. He was used to sitting alone on the small hill where Chishan Temple was originally located at sunrise, and then strolling by the river. Looking at the rolling river water, he couldn't help but wonder if the white porpoise would appear again?

Ding Qi was very concerned about the white-bird pig, and he was always worried about it in his heart. Although fishing is not allowed on the main channel of the Yangtze River, the pollution of the water may cause harm to the white-bird pig pig. He never saw the creature that flashed in front of his eyes, suspected to be a white-bird pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pig pirates now, although the "ancestor" came.

The so-called ancestor is Shi Liangde, the founder of Botian Group. He was a traveling doctor in the early years. He practiced medicine everywhere with a single-handed treatment of skin diseases, advertised telephone poles in various parts of the city and rural areas, and brought out a group of "apprentices" in his hometown village, and founded Botian Group from scratch.

Botian Group's main business is medical care. It was originally a specialty specialty of various hospitals. Later, it acquired and built a large number of private hospitals. Now its business scope is not only in major cities in China, but also extends to Southeast Asia. Botian Group has become a large investment group with a major medical industry as well. Shi Liangde himself is a business giant.

The ancestor is just the name of the insider around him. Ye Xing privately called Shi Liangde as his ancestor in front of Ding Qi, just to show that he and Shi Liangde are very close, but they are actually far away. Botian Group has a hundred subsidiaries, and Boci Medical is just one of its inconspicuous ones, and it has to turn several turns from the equity control relationship.

Shi Liangde is not very old, he is only fifty-eight years old this year. He has lived in Singapore in recent years. This time he has something to do when he returns to China. He passed by the Bianhu to inspect Boci Medical. He just passed by to take a look, but Boci Medical is very nervous, so he has been preparing for this for half a month.

Ye Xing was particularly nervous, even too nervous. Ye Xing even went to Ding Qi to discuss how to welcome his ancestors to inspect? Ding Qi smiled and said that he was just a medical expert and was not responsible for the management of the work. What should he do? There was no need to discuss with him.

Ye Xing asked the logistics department to buy a batch of brand new white coats and told all the employees of Boci Medical that they should not rush to wear them first, and then change them all on the day when the ancestors came. I heard that the ancestors liked to be clean and neat the most, so they must leave a good impression on him. He also specifically told Ding Qi not to forget to wear white coats that day.

Do psychologists wear white coats? This is actually a very interesting professional question. When you are mentally healthy at Jinghu University, psychological counselors usually do not wear white coats.

The counselor's outfit itself will give the helper a hint. For some seekers, the psychologist's white coat will increase the other person's tension and anxiety; for others seekers, the psychologist's white coat will increase the trust and also increase the sense of dependence.

Therefore, whether to wear a white coat or not depends on the specific situation of the person seeking help requires accurate observation and analysis, while Ding Qi generally does not wear it. This requirement made by Ye Xing for the psychological clinic may not be professional, but since there is a reason, Ding Qi did not object to it. Anyway, he would wear it that day. There is really no need to come to him alone in this matter and ask anyone to say hello.

After saying this boring little thing, Ye Xing didn't leave yet, and said hesitantly: "Teacher Ding, if the ancestors ask you for anything they say alone, you must be careful and speak with a proper attitude and not reveal flaws."

Ding Qi was stunned. What does this mean? Ye Xing has no handle on corruption, bribery, or embezzlement. Although Botian Group and Boci Medical are both private enterprises, the so-called private enterprises are large enough to form internal systems and interest groups. There are many problems that are actually similar to state-owned enterprises and officialdom.

Ding Qi asked in confusion: "Will Mr. Shi talk to me alone? Besides, I am just a doctor and I don't know anything else inside the hospital."

Ye Xing frowned and said, "Maybe, maybe not. I planned to ask you to take leave that day and don't come, but the psychology clinic is my new business this year. You are the top expert, so it's not good to not appear. My ancestors must have heard of your name. But have you ever wondered why my ancestors came here to inspect, and it's not too late but at this time?"

Ding Qi suddenly realized that Ye Xing was worried about something else and asked: "Yes, always said that we were looking for the secret realm of Fangwai. Are you afraid that Boss Shi would hear the news and want to get a trick?"

Ye Xing said worriedly: "I did this in private, it has nothing to do with Boci Medical, and I have not disclosed any news to the outside world. No matter what discovery is, it is our own discovery. I mean, if the ancestors hear any rumors, it is for this matter. You must not let it go when you ask you.

The ancestor is so smart! He met a master of the Ill Sect in the Jianghu, and then he came to this day. I also heard the rumors about him, so I became interested in the Eight Gates in the Jianghu, and then met many people... With the background of the ancestor, I might hear some news."

Ding Qi patted his shoulder and said, "Mr. Ye, you may have thought too much! When you were a child, you heard the stories told by your grandfather. You know that the monks in Chishan Temple are very rich and may have another place to hide treasures. Now you have got clues again, for fear that others will compete with you. But think about who Shi Liangde is? A wealthy with tens of billions of assets!

He may not remember how many branches there are below like Boci Medical. Everyone is in different positions and the things they are interested in are different. In his opinion, your thoughts may be just a joke. If you take a step back, if such a person wants to find something, he has already used various resources to find it.

If he heard any news and was interested in what you did in private, he would have called you to ask in person. Since there was no such thing, he was not coming for you, but just inspecting subordinate institutions. Don’t worry about that.”

Ye Xing felt a little relieved and nodded, "I hope I'm thinking too much."

Ding Qi smiled again and said, "I'll tell a story, don't not like to listen. One day, I walked past the park gate, and there was a trash can next to me. I accidentally kicked a Coke bottle. A voice next to me shouted, "The bottle is mine, this is my place, you are not allowed to pick it!" I didn't look back, and of course I didn't pick that bottle. I walked into the park like this, and I don't know who called it."

Facts have proved that Ye Xing was really thinking too much. Ding Qi believed that he had found a secret realm in private because Ding Qi had had such personal experiences. However, if the news reached the outside world, others might be a legend, let alone neither Ye Xing nor Ding Qi had disclosed it to others. Nowadays, only Shi Buquan and Zhu Shanxian are included.

Shi Liangde came to Boci Medical on Friday afternoon. There were eight people, with a SUV in front and a business car behind. Ding Qi, a successful business tycoon in the business world, was not searching for his photos. Boci Medical staff were also greeted in advance, do not take out their mobile phones to take photos, and do not take photos with President Shi.

Ding Qi was quite happy that Shi Liangde was so low-key and mysterious. When he saw Shi Liangde with his own eyes, it was a bit different from what he imagined. This situation was not common for an expert who had learned psychological portrait technology.

Before he was thirty years old, Shi Liangde was an ordinary villager living in the countryside. Later, he was a doctor who traveled around the streets and alleys. Ding Qi once outlined an image like the old Yangtou in the communication room. Mr. Shi is now doing a successful career. He should have maintained it well in recent years and is rich and noble, but he may still see some traces of wind and frost.

As a result, Shi Liangde's image was not like this at all. He was handsome and not tall, but his figure was very upright. He wore a pair of glasses and was very stylish. I don't know if he had dyed his hair, but in short, he never saw a single white hair. Although he was fifty-eight years old, his complexion was rosy and full of energy, and he could not see any weathered appearance.

Ding Qi also saw the so-called "official spirit" in Shi Liangde's body, which was different from the feeling that Zhu Shanxian gave him. The time he met Zhu Shanxian on a private occasion, Zhu Shanxian's expression and tone were very peaceful, and today Shi Liangde was inspecting his subordinate institutions, and his momentum was very strong.

Shi Liangde was wearing a gray mountain suit, and there was a young woman wearing a light professional dress next to him. He was introduced to Assistant Wang, and there were seven men wearing dark blue suits, ranging from the age of 20 to about 40. These seven subordinates actually wore uniform suits. No wonder this ancestor liked to be clean and neat.

Shi Liangde inspected various departments, shook hands with the medical staff one by one, nodded and smiled, and everyone bowed lightly and said, "Hello, Mr. Shi!"

Shi Liangde smiled and replied: "Thank you for your hard work!"

When the inspection team arrived at the auxiliary building behind the main building, all the doctors in the psychological clinic lined up in line in white coats. When shook hands with Ding Qi, Shi Liangde stopped deliberately, but his words were different from others: "Teacher Ding Qi, I have long been honored with great reputation!"

Shi Liangde knew him, at least he had heard of his name and photos, and could recognize him when he met. Ding Qi had to smile and said, "Shame, I didn't expect that Mr. Shi had heard of me."

Ye Xing, who was accompanying him, quickly interrupted: "Mr. Shi, Teacher Ding is the top expert in our psychological clinic, and I invited him to visit him after three visits."

Shi Liangde nodded and said, "When I came here, I listened to your introduction from Boci Medical in the car. It's not bad. You have done a good job and you must continue to work hard in the future!"

After hearing this sentence, Ding Qi could roughly infer that Shi Liangde actually didn't know Boci Medical, and he probably didn't even know Ye Xing. He listened to his subordinates' introduction when he came here. All the staff present, Shi Liangde had heard of the name, probably only Ding Qi had heard of the name, and there was no way. This was also a benefit or trouble for being a celebrity.

Although Shi Liangde knew Ding Qi, his inspection was limited to saying a few more words during the handshake. At 5:30 in the afternoon, Boci Medical gathered all the department directors as personnel to listen to President Shi's speech in the conference room. Ding Qi did not attend, and was not called by Shi Liangde alone to ask anything.

Shi Liangde left Boci Medical at around 6 o'clock. Only Ye Xing was following him, probably to accompany him for dinner. When they walked out of the building, Ding Qi happened to get off work and was about to go back. In the yard, he watched the group of nine people walking out of the main building gate and preparing for the car, but Ding Qi suddenly noticed another person.

This person was originally standing next to the communication room, looking like an inconspicuous old man in the countryside, not at all eye-catching. Ding Qi glanced at him and thought it was Lao Yang. It was not yet time for Lao Yang to work, so why did he come so early? Ding Qi didn't think much about it.
Chapter completed!
