Chapter 68: Deep Friendship
There were many protruding rocks on the cliff, which saved Li Mu a lot of effort.

He grabbed the protruding points on the cliff with his fingers, stepped firmly on the cliff with his toes, and climbed down alternately.

[My palms start to sweat just by looking at it! ]

[Is there grass growing on the cliff? 】

[No, I'm afraid of heights, let's retreat for a while. ]

[The host is really brave. I have to squint my eyes to watch him.]

A gust of wind suddenly blew on the cliff, and the mountain wind was so strong that the rope swayed left and right.

When the cat on the cliff saw the shaking rope, its heart tightened, and it used its four little paws to put more strength to hold the rope tightly.

Li Mu stuck to the cliff wall, his body steady, as if he was not affected by the wind at all.

Soon, Li Mu approached the protruding rock.

When we got here, the cliff wall began to become smooth and there were no more protrusions, but fortunately it was not very far away, only about one meter high.

Li Mu let go and slid onto the protruding stone.

The stone is about two meters long and a little over one meter wide, and is covered with some eaten wild fruit cores and plant roots.

A musk deer was lying on a rock. After seeing Li Mu, it struggled to stand up, its limbs trembling slightly, and it stared at Li Mu without blinking.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you." Li Mu said in a gentle tone.

The musk deer slowly let down its guard. Although it had never seen this two-legged beast before, it felt a sense of closeness from him.

It raised its head slightly and glanced at the edge of the cliff. "It, save me?"

"That's right, your friend, the roe deer found me and asked me to save you." Li Mu slowly walked to the front of the musk deer and looked at its body.

The musk deer was able to stand up, which meant that there was no problem with its limbs. There were a few abrasions on its body and the blood in the wounds had already coagulated. It just looked a little weak and its nose was a little dry, which were symptoms of dehydration.

Seeing this, Li Mu roughly understood why Yuan Musk was here.

"Now I'm going to tie you to myself with a rope and rescue you." Li Mu said as he untied the rope on his body.

"Okay!" The musk deer nodded and let Li Mu wrap the rope around its body.

The musk deer is not very big and is a female that has just reached adulthood.

Li Mu tied it around his waist, tied a knot, pulled it a few times to make sure it was firmly tied, and then began to climb up.

The musk deer was obedient and did not move.

"Nimu!"

The kitten who was holding the rope tightly and looking at the edge of the cliff saw Li Mu half of his head sticking out. He shouted happily, stood up suddenly from the ground and ran towards Li Mu.

After running two steps, he remembered that Li Mu had not climbed up completely, so he quickly grabbed the rope beside him.

After Li Mu brought the musk deer up and stood at the edge of the cliff to untie the rope, the kitten ran to Li Mu's feet, circled around him and looked at his body.

"Ni Mu, are you okay?" The kitten tilted its head and looked at Li Mu.

"I'm fine." Li Mu untied the ropes that tied the musk deer and himself, squatted down and touched the kitten.

"Well, is this the roe deer's friend?"

"Yes."

The kitten looked at the musk deer curiously, "It's also a roe deer!"

"It's not a roe deer, it's a musk deer."

“But it looks like a roe deer.”

"It's quite similar."

Li Mu looked at the roe deer that walked up to the musk deer. The two of them stood together and did look somewhat similar.

The musk deer and roe deer rubbed their heads against each other, like a human hug.

"Don't stand on the edge of the cliff." Li Mu picked up the weak musk deer and walked forward a distance, then put the musk deer down.

This musk deer is in good health. The reason it is so weak is lack of water.

Li Mu took out a water bottle from his mountaineering bag, handed it to the musk deer's mouth, poured water into its mouth, and the musk deer drank it in big gulps.

In a short while, the pot of water was finished.

"More." Yuan She turned and looked at Li Mu.

Li Mu exchanged a few bottles of mineral water from the system mall, and Yuan She didn't stop until he had drunk two and a half bottles.

After drinking the water, Li Mu took out the wild fruits he picked for the Monkey King, and the musk deer buried its head directly in the bag.

"How many days has it been falling?" "Three, the sun." The roe deer looked up at the sun.

Li Mu nodded. The roe deer saw the sun three times, which meant that the musk deer had fallen for three days.

"Thank you for your hard work." Li Mu touched the roe deer's head.

The fruit cores and plant roots on the rocks were probably thrown by the roe deer from the edge of the cliff to the musk deer.

But it had no way to get water. After falling down for three days, the musk deer was not so hungry that it could not stand up, it was just because of lack of water.

The roe deer knew that the musk deer could not survive for long without water, so it must have been looking for him in the woods for the past three days.

Li Mu looked at the musk deer, who had recovered some of his energy after eating and drinking, and said, "You really made a very good friend."

"Yes, good friend." The musk deer stuck out its tongue and licked the roe deer's face.

[Are these two in love? Are they interspecies? 】

[Musk deer? Why does it look like a roe deer to me? ]

[Anchor, I have little education, please don't lie to us. ]

[Tell me, what level? ]

"It's not a roe deer, it's a musk deer. It's easy to tell apart. Musk deer have two obvious white vertical stripes on both sides of their necks to their armpits, but roe deer don't have those."

Now that he had nothing to do, Li Mu watched the live broadcast room and gave scientific knowledge to netizens.

"I'm sure everyone has heard of musk, right? Musk deer also have glands that produce musk. Because of this, they were hunted more frequently in the past. Now their numbers are very rare. They are currently a first-class protected animal in the country."

[So that's how it is. I know musk. It's a precious medicinal material and the best spice.]

[He looks as cute as a roe deer. Who would have thought he was a top student in the country! ]

[Wow, it’s the best in the country, it’s as famous as the golden eagle and the Siberian tiger! ]

"In fact, I hope that there will never be a title of national first-class protected animal."

Li Mu sat on the ground and said softly, "Giving an animal this name just means that its population is on the verge of extinction, which is a tragedy for the animal."

[It is true (sigh)]

【Everyone in the world is busy seeking profit! 】

[As long as they can make money, some people will do business even if it means getting killed.]

"Don't be pessimistic. Haven't we already started taking action? I believe that these animals will no longer be endangered sooner or later."

Li Mu saw that the live broadcast room was a little depressed, so he changed the topic, "Everyone should just take a good look at the deep friendship between the original musk deer and the roe deer."

【? ? ? 】

[Anchor, what did you say? Girlfriend? ]

[Aren’t they in a relationship? ]

"How can a roe deer and a musk deer be together?" Li Mu was very impressed by these people's thinking. "They are both females, and they are just good friends."

[What? I was just about to start knocking! ]

[The above person, lesbianism is not forbidden (dog head)]

[How did the musk deer fall? It should have broken its legs or something from such a high place, right? ]

"The musk deer didn't fall directly. It must have been picking wild lily seeds on the cliff and slipped and fell. The place where it fell should not be very high."

[What? On the cliff? Musk deer can fly? ]

[That’s right, what did the anchor mean? (Confused)]

"Like blue sheep, musk deer are very good at climbing cliffs. When I went down just now, someone should have seen a lot of wild lilies growing on the cliff, right?"

[I see, that's a wild lily? I thought it was a weed. ]

[Can Musk Deer Climb Cliffs? ]

[I searched and found that people really go to the cliff to find food! ]

"There are many protruding points on this cliff, and there are wild lilies. Musk deer discovered this place and must come here often to look for food."

"As the old saying goes, if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. This time, when it was eating the seeds of the wild lily, it slipped and fell into the river."

"Fortunately, there was a protruding rock below that prevented him from falling directly to the bottom of the cliff. My guess should be correct, right?" Li Mu looked at Yuan She.

"Yeah!" Yuan She nodded repeatedly.
