Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 234 The king asked me to patrol the mountain

What Lao Gao said really came true this time when they went up the mountain. Chen Ying was surrounded by a large crowd.

Brother and sister Bao led Beibei in the front to lead the way, with Chen Ying and Lao Gao in the middle, and Jin Ya and Xiao Jin running back and forth on both sides who were never idle for a moment.

Then there is a black bear attached to the tail.

"Why did the street urchin follow us? Doesn't this guy always want to be away from his girlfriend?"

"It seems that the little female bear found out that she was not pregnant with cubs, so she got mad. She thought that the street urchin didn't try hard enough, so she beat her up last night, but the street urchin didn't dare to fight back."

"No way? Little Bear is such a gentle bear, how could she beat a street kid?"

Chen Ying shrugged. No matter how gentle a person is, he will still beat them up when he gets angry.

No matter what, the little girl bear is still a black bear.

Chen Ying was not worried about anything else. She was just worried that when the two Baolang brothers came back from their trip, they would find that their parents and sister were missing. She wondered how the two brothers would feel.

The road up the mountain is very familiar, and the forest rangers at the management station take a walk every now and then, so the road is relatively easy to walk on.

But the road becomes difficult to walk on after leaving the patrol point.

From early spring to early summer, there are basically not many people walking around here, and the area will be occupied by weeds in just two or three days.

With Brother and Sister Leopard leading the way, you basically don't have to worry about encountering big potholes or dead ends. But people who often go up the mountain know that if you are not careful, you can end up rolling and crawling on this kind of animal trail that no one has walked on.

Chen Ying and Lao Gao climbed up the steep animal trail with the support of two trekking poles. The sense of accomplishment they felt was simply indescribable.

They had only one idea: next time they must not let Brother Leopard and Sister Leopard lead the way.

What? Do you think they have four legs like them? Do you know how hard it is for a human to climb up there?

Jin Yadu jumped back and forth three times before he finally climbed to the top of the slope with trembling legs.

"I finally believe what they say on the Internet. Even if it's 91 degrees, it's still called a slope!"

Lao Gao was more tired than Chen Ying. If he wasn't afraid of sliding down, he would definitely want to lie there for a while.

After resting for more than ten minutes, everyone continued to move forward at Xiao Jin's urging.

Xiao Jin said he had already seen a good place. There was a big hole in front where they could all spend the night.

After walking for about twenty minutes, we saw the big cave that Xiao Jin mentioned.

The depth is not too large and the entrance is relatively spacious.

It's not an environment that wild animals like to live in, but it's a good place to spend a night.

Shelter from the wind, breathable, and good vision.

After a little tidying up, Chen Ying and Lao Gao set up the tent and took out the sleeping bags to spread out the tent.

With so many wild beasts guarding around, they can have a good rest.

Street Cat didn't want to live with the big cats, so he found a big tree nearby and climbed up, planning to stay there for the night.

Leopard sister and brother were used to sleeping in trees, but after having Beibei, Leopard sister changed her habit. As long as her daughter was around, she would accompany Beibei to rest on the ground.

Brother Bao fulfilled his father's responsibilities and was responsible for protecting the mother and daughter.

There is a bear and a leopard on the tree at the entrance of the cave, so the safety factor is maximum.

Chen Ying and Lao Gao hadn't had such high-intensity activities for a long time, and they fell asleep in seconds after lying down.

At five o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock rang. Jin Ya called several times outside the tent. Chen Ying came out with messy hair and stretched hard at the entrance of the cave.

The cold mountain wind blew and everyone woke up completely.

After a quick wash and breakfast, I packed up my bags and continued up the mountain.

Not long after, Brother Leopard said he smelled the scent of his own kind.

"It must have just passed by. It didn't leave much scent on the stones and trees."

Brother Leopard walked around the tree trunk and said, "It's a male. He should be quite young. He might be a young leopard that left his mother to find a territory."

Jiamugou may not look big, but with mountains and peaks connected to each other, it actually covers a large area.

The area they usually stay in is the end of the ditch. If they really go into the ditch, it is easy to get lost in it.

This area is located on a fault zone and is one of the most active areas of orogeny.

The mountains here are one upon another. Going deeper, snow-capped mountains stand tall, like a holy girl quietly gazing into the distance.

Chen Ying certainly didn't dare to go too deep. He and Lao Gao's target was the mountain where Laoxionggou and Hualien Valley met.

It is impossible to go up there. The altitude is almost 4,000 to 5,000 meters, and the snow on the top of the mountain never melts all year round.

The sunny side is full of towering ancient trees, while the shady side is full of rugged rocks.

This area exceeds one-third of the protected area, and the distance between the ditches is gradually increasing, making the depth of the canyon difficult to measure with the naked eye.

It took them a full seven days to get here alone.

Along the way, we saw many traces of mudslides, collapsed rocks, and broken trees.

Judging from the traces, it was probably caused by the last earthquake.

The two were careful not to get too close to the collapse.

The remote-controlled drone took a lot of photos and videos, but I didn’t dare to continue. I just bypassed a shallow ditch and went back home from the other side.

My cell phone has no signal for a long time, and I haven’t used the satellite phone yet, so I don’t know if it will work.

The two tried their best not to cause trouble to the rescuers and were very careful along the way, but they still encountered some minor troubles. "Lao Chen, can this little thing be saved?"

Wearing gloves, Chen Ying lifted the fox's skin by the scruff of its neck. The little creature's hind legs were hanging down, its head was drooping, and it looked like it would die at any moment.

Jin Ya curiously went over to sniff it, then sneezed loudly, and the fox trembled slightly.

Chen Ying was stunned and put it down silently.

Wow, really wow, this fox is so skilled at pretending to be dead, you can tell it must have a lot of experience.

After Chen Ying put the little guy down, he gestured to the other animals, and the group of people and animals quickly left, then turned back and hid behind a tree to observe silently.

The little fox secretly opened one eye and moved its ears, as if it didn't sense any danger. However, it still waited for a few minutes before slowly getting up.

It bent down, sniffed the ground, and looked a little hesitant.

Beibei wanted to go over, but Sister Bao gently bit her ear and stopped her from leaving.

Jin Ya on the other side was also eager to pounce on that furry tail.

In fact, the fox's tail is not as fluffy and soft as imagined. The fox tails sold on the market are all processed, and some are made of other animal hair.

After all, how could it be so clean, soft and fragrant in the wild?

Foxes have a strong body odor, which cats don't like. For example, Jinya thought that this little guy could just be buried in a hole.

Xiao Jin bit its cheek fur and licked it a few times before Jin Ya obediently lay down.

Brother Leopard yawned and felt very bored.

This is not the environment it likes. If possible, it wants to leave early.

Chen Ying observed the little fox's movements and posture, and after making sure there was no problem, he decided not to delay any longer and turned around and left.

This movement made a rustling sound, and the little fox was so scared that its fur stood up and it trembled.

After a while, the noise became farther and farther away, and it relaxed a little and prepared to go back to its nest.

But after walking a few steps, the little fox looked back for a long time, and finally made up his mind to chase after it.

Jie Liuzi separated from them two days ago.

The big guy didn't like climbing mountains. When he saw a wild beehive on a cliff on the way, he rushed over without saying a word.

Chen Ying was not worried about its safety. After all, the black bear's fighting ability was not weak. As long as it did not provoke the tiger, it would usually crush other animals.

"The area ahead is where the last earthquake occurred. Should we go over there?"

Along the way, Lao Gao also collected a lot of information and materials about birds, especially pheasants, whose distribution range was much wider than he had previously known.

I don’t know if it’s due to global climate change in the past decade or if birds are beginning to actively adapt and evolve, but in any case, in environments that were previously thought to be unsuitable for their survival, there are now large populations of various pheasant species.

The two of them walked towards the outskirts of the mountain along the direction of the foothills. The road was rugged and difficult to travel on, and sometimes Xiao Jin and Brother Bao had to find a way separately to lead them out.

Xiao Jin is fine. Brother Leopard swore to the sky that he would never follow the two-legged beasts out again.

There are many places that can be reached with just one jump, but the two-legged beasts just can't get through and have to take a detour.

The more you go around, the longer the road becomes.

The good thing is that almost no one comes into the mountain, and the ecological chain of small animals is very complete, so they don’t have to worry about finding food.

Moreover, because their group's fighting power is too high, people often only smell the scent of the beast and cannot even see a single hair when they look for it.

Chen Ying collected a lot of specimens of hair and bones along the way, but he had to go back and use instruments to measure and analyze them to find out what kind of animal it was.

Everyone was unfamiliar with the conditions in the mountains, and it was very difficult to find a safe place to spend the night.

When approaching the epicenter of the earthquake, one has to worry about whether heavy rain will cause the loose geology to collapse again.

Fortunately, they didn't encounter any rain when they went into the mountains this time.

After looking at the moonlit night sky with sparse stars, Chen Ying and Lao Gao decided to camp in the woods for the night.

Set off early tomorrow morning, and if you come across a suitable rest spot later, stop and rest for a day before continuing.

It is called a forest, but in fact it is also a shrub forest.

Down the slope next to it is a stream less than one meter wide.

It meanders out of the woods, flows over a gravel beach, and disappears into another patch of bushes.

Many traces of animals can be found here, so it should be a drinking water point.

In order to avoid animals of all sizes that came to drink water at night, they chose a camping location that was not very good, but it avoided the animal trails.

It's okay to take a temporary break for three or four hours.

When they came down from the mountain today, they passed by a small spring. They filled two pots with water, boiled them and let them cool while cooking in the evening, and that solved their drinking water problem tomorrow.

Lao Gao also made a so-called filtered water cup. Chen Ying took a look at it and thought that this thing could interact well with the IQ tax.

The water was originally very clear, but after filtering, there was an extra layer of white floating matter, which made it difficult to swallow.

Lao Gao felt that there was nothing wrong with the cup and that he might have bought a fake replacement filter. He cursed and said he would find the seller to ask for an explanation.

Chen Ying rolled her eyes and complained that the seller probably cancelled his store.

Jin Ya listened to them bickering, and ran over to get close to Lao Gao's cup. She even wanted to open her mouth to pick out the filter to taste it. Chen Ying was so scared that he stretched out his hand, covered Jin Ya's mouth, and picked her up by the waist.

At this moment, a faint crisp sound was heard, and everyone looked over there at the same time.
