Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 143 Is this some kind of sacred place for lost children?

Standing in the Rowan Valley, you can overlook the mountains in the distance.

The top of the mountain is already covered with white snow, and the snow area is much larger than in the same period of previous years.

"The weather forecast says that this year's temperature will be five or six degrees lower than last year, and the coldest temperature could drop to minus seven or eight degrees. You have to be careful in the forest. If it's too cold, just go out and stay at the ranger station."

"Okay, I know my limits, don't worry about me."

The two chatted as they walked, and the topic turned to Yin Li's father.

"Don't you plan to improve your relationship with your father?"

"What can we change? He is old and his ideas are deeply rooted. No matter what anyone says, it's useless. When my mom and sister talk to him, he slams the table and throws the chairs if he says something wrong."

Chen Ying patted his shoulder sympathetically, but there was nothing she could do about his father's situation.

"Well, let's not talk about him anymore. Let's just walk a little further into the ditch and then go back. The water is dry now, so there shouldn't be many animals coming here to drink."

Walk north along the ditch next to the Huashu Valley for about a hundred meters, and you will reach the waterfall in the summer.

The original pool of water has shrunk dramatically, with only a little bit of mountain spring water seeping out through the cracks in the rocks, forming a pool of water underneath.

Although the area of ​​this pool is small, the surrounding soil is still very moist and it is easy to fall into it if you are not careful.

The animals in the mountains also know that this place is dangerous. As the water volume decreases, the number of times they come here decreases.

"Let's go, go a little west and get back from the old forest."

The two men held each other's hands and climbed up from the east. Before they could say anything, they saw a black and white fur ball hanging on the mountain wall about thirty or forty meters ahead.

"Oh my god, why is there a giant panda cub here?"

Is the feng shui of this forest bad? Why do we always find cubs separated from their mothers here?
Yin Li took out his cell phone to call for support, while Chen Ying took out his cell phone to take pictures of the panda cub.

The two did not dare to get too close for fear of scaring the panda cub.

"Ali, I think there's something wrong with this cub. Its fur is messy and dirty, and it can't climb the slope very fast. It looks like it's injured or sick."

Chen Ying handed the phone to Yin Li, and he slowly approached the panda cub.

When we got closer, we found that the cub actually had scars on its body.

"Ali, ask Xia Sen to bring medicine and a drone. This panda cub must have been bitten by a wild animal. The animal is missing, so we need people to search for it."

"We've already notified them. The station will immediately organize people to come here. I also called Officer Xiao Qin, and he said that he would organize people to search in this direction from Xiaozhai Village."

Xia Sen came very quickly, and even in such cold weather, he was sweating profusely from running.

The drone was released and searched upwards along the mountain, but no signs of fighting or activity of the giant panda were found.

"No, we need external help."

Chen Ying didn't care about scaring the cub. She picked up the thermal blanket and rushed over, covering the little guy with it, then wrapped it up and picked it up.

The little guy was so scared that he made all kinds of strange noises and struggled violently.

Xia Sen hurriedly took out a bottle of milk from his backpack and handed it over.

This is Leo's afternoon tea. I've requisitioned it first and will replenish it later.

Maybe it was very hungry. Once it tasted the milk, the little guy calmed down and started to eat wildly.

Let Xia Sen go back with him and leave Yin Li here to wait for support.

Chen Ying plans to go back to ask Dabai and Jiaojiao for help. Humans are not sensitive to smells, but Dabai and Jiaojiao should be able to easily find the source of the smell of their own kind.

After returning home, Jiaojiao was sitting under a wooden rack eating. Seeing Chen Ying running back with something in her arms, she raised her head, took a deep sniff, and locked her eyes on Chen Ying's arms.

"Oh, what are you holding? I smell a baby."

Jiaojiao got up and walked towards Chen Ying, curiously pulling at the thermal blanket in his arms.

"Jiaojiao, I need your help."

Chen Ying loosened the blanket, revealing the sleeping cub. Jiaojiao smelled blood and began to bar her teeth.

"I found the cub at the bottom of the mountain. I didn't see its mother. Judging from the injuries on its body, I suspect that it and its mother were in danger."

"I'm going to take him to treat his wound first, and then I'll ask you to help take care of him. What about Dabai? Is he free? I want him to help find the mother panda."

Jiaojiao sat down, raised her head and called twice. Dabai trotted over from behind the small building. When he got closer, he smelled the scent of the cub.

Chen Ying asked Jiaojiao to help tell Dabai, and brought the cub into the observation room. Xia Sen had already prepared the medicines and equipment.

Half an hour later, some of the cub's hair was cut off, some medicine was applied, and then it was handed over to Jiaojiao to help take care of.

Jiaojiao took the cub and held it in her arms, letting it take over Leo's bowl of food.

"Doctor Chen, Doctor Chen, we are here."

The leader is Mr. Luo from the center.

He was supposed to take a vacation, but before he could leave, he heard that a panda cub was found in the mountains, separated from its mother and injured.

Teacher Luo couldn't hear this, so he threw his luggage down and went up the mountain.

"Teacher Luo, you came at the right time. I have treated the cub's external injuries, and it still needs observation. You are an expert in this area, so let Xia Sen cooperate with you. Let Jiaojiao feed it for the time being. I want to go into the woods with Dabai to find its mother."

"Hurry up, go quickly, don't dawdle." Teacher Luo waved his hand quickly, "Don't worry, I'm here."

Chen Ying pulled Dabai and the staff from the support center and ran towards the place where the cub was found.

"Some time ago, a tourist found a drowned giant panda in the river. It could be the mother of this cub."

"Don't talk nonsense, you're a crow's mouth."

The staff member who was called a jinx by a colleague quickly covered his mouth and pretended to slap himself.

Chen Ying had also heard about the drowned panda. The autopsy is still ongoing, so the details are unknown. From the outside, there were no injuries, so it was suspected that the panda fell from a tree and rolled into the water and drowned.

However, the place where the drowned panda was found was dozens of kilometers away from them, so it was most likely that they were not mother and child.

Before reaching the hillside where the cubs were found, Dabai suddenly stopped, sniffed in one direction, and adjusted its direction without saying a word.

Seeing this, Chen Ying immediately called on the staff to follow.

"Dabai has smelled the cub and should be able to identify the scent left by the mother. Let's follow and take a look."

After saying that, he called Yin Li again and reported his current location.

"I saw the direction Dabai ran in, which looked a bit like the mountain road leading to Xiaozhai Village."

Chen Ying had only walked this road two or three times and couldn't be sure if it was this one.

But looking at the map, if you go in a straight line, it will point to Xiaozhai Village.

Just after he hung up the phone, he received a call from an unfamiliar number.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Ying finally answered the call.

"Brother Ying, I'm Lele. There's a giant panda in my woodshed. It seems to have fainted. What should I do?"

Chen Ying was stunned for a moment, recalling the voice.

She is a girl from Xiaozhai Village. After graduating from junior high school, she stayed in the village to take care of her elderly grandparents. She usually makes some handicrafts and sells them in the town.

The girl's home is at the outermost end of the village, and her woodshed is halfway up the hill. After returning farmland to forest, no one grows vegetables on that hill anymore.

Lele's family is not well off, and they still use a wood stove at home. Firewood and straw are usually kept in the woodshed.

Lele had his phone number because she had left it to Chen Ying when her dog had a difficult birth and she came to him for help.

"Le Le, listen to me, don't go over there, go find the village cadres or the party secretary right away, and don't let anyone get close to your firewood room, so as not to scare the pandas."

"I know, I'll go find it right now."
