I Bought a Mountain to Grow Herbs, and Now a Panda Has Its Eye on Me

After graduating with a master's degree from an agricultural university, Xia Hong resolutely quits his job in the city and chooses to lease a barren mountain, grow Chinese medicinal herbs, and promote the principles of traditional Chinese medicine.

But when the herbs are ripe and he is focused on picking goji berries, a dark shape bursts out of the bushes and bites him without warning.

"Squeak, squeak!"

With its signature dark circles around its eyes and black-and-white fur, what could it be if not China's national treasure, the giant panda?

"Oh no, the streamer is bleeding from the bite. Doesn't that mean he'll have to get a rabies shot?"

"I don't know if the streamer needs a shot, but that little guy definitely does."

"Agreed. The bacteria in the human body might harm the giant panda."

Xia Hong reads the comments in his livestream and can only stare at the sky in speechless disbelief.

After finally managing to shoo the adorable little fellow away and contacting the local wildlife conservation association, he is even more crushed by the advice from the person on the phone.

"Sir, please leave immediately. Given giant pandas' habits, the cub's mother is sure to be nearby..."
