Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 249: The Two Idiots

"Ali, is it true what the team did on the scientific expedition?"

"It's true. At least there's nothing wrong with the documents. What's the matter? Are you worried that they are using this as a cover to poach?"

Yin Li glanced at Chen Ying and said, "They are probably not poachers, but it's hard to say whether they have other purposes. I checked and found that this scientific expedition team is a joint expedition with foreign research institutions involved. They will definitely pay attention to the specific situation, so we should not interfere."

They are not part of the same system, and they cannot control other people's normal scientific research activities with certificates.

"Brother Ying is worried that they are the walking half million?"

Ji Xin held onto the backrest of Chen Ying's car seat and spoke happily.

"I just secretly took a photo. When I have internet access, I can check it online."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ying clapped his hand back.

"Don't make trouble. Don't do things like checking other people's identity information online."

"Don't worry, Brother Ying. I know what I am doing. I'm just going to check a few forums to see if there are any photos of the relevant people. This can be considered as verifying their identities."

The two elder brothers who were unfamiliar with this method did not say anything. Privately, they also hoped to confirm the identities of those people so that they could better protect the no-man's land.

"Oh, brother Li, when I was looking up information online, I saw someone say that people used to come here to steal Artemia. Are they still available now?"

"Of course there are. There are not many in this lake. You will see them when you get to the salt lake."

Artemia is known as soft gold and is the best bait for high-quality fish, shrimp and shellfish.

Previously, people who illegally mined Artemia adults and eggs almost destroyed the salt lake and the surrounding land.

It took more than ten years of governance to curb this unhealthy trend.

"Brother Li, drive slower. I'll take a picture."

Ji Xin saw a vulture spreading its wings to bask in the sun not far away. Apart from its ugly head, its strong body and majestic wings showed that it was quite capable of fighting.

I took three or four photos in a row before putting away the camera, still feeling unsatisfied.

"I think this place is great, Brother Li, can I come here to look for a job after I graduate?"

"Personally, you are very welcome to do so, but you should ask your brother for details. He is more informed than I am in the government. Besides, even if you cannot work here, you can come here as a volunteer and stay for half a year or a year before going back."

Not everyone can survive in the plateau.

Generally speaking, after the age of 40, one’s physical functions can no longer support the task of long-term mountain patrols.

The area here is vast, and there are four or five large-scale mountain patrols a year, in which the entire management bureau participates and lasts about a month.

In addition, there are irregular patrols in the mountains, which may last seven to eight days at a time.

"In the summer, there may be heavy rain and storms, and the car may easily get stuck in the mud. Look at our car, don't we have a tow rope and a shovel? They are prepared for rescuing the car."

Not to mention winter, with its blizzards, rapid drops in temperature, and hungry wild beasts roaming around.

Anyway, every time I go out to patrol the mountains, I am almost gambling with my life.

"The road we took this time was fine. There was basically no dangerous place. If you plan to stay here, you can come with us on our patrol next time, and then we can talk about whether to stay or not. Is that okay?"

Ji Xin nodded and remained silent for a long time.

He is a loner but not stupid, and he can still sense whether others are really nice to him.

To be honest, Brother Li is better. He feels a similar temperament in Brother Ying. He always likes to look out the window and not talk. Is he also a guy who enjoys being autistic?

At noon, find a place to rest.

Chen Ying took the drone and began to patrol the surroundings.

Behind a mound three kilometers away, a Tibetan fox was sneaking around to spy on a prairie rabbit digging a hole.

I dare not stay in this place for a long time, as I might be spotted by birds of prey in the sky.

Continuing to circle, we saw a group of about dozens of Tibetan antelopes drinking water. Near them, there were two male Tibetan antelopes following them for protection.

The Tibetan antelope with a big belly took a short rest and continued running.

On the other side of the river, a mother brown bear with her cubs quietly watched the running Tibetan antelope. Her cubs kept nudging her, wanting to eat.

After leaving the Tibetan antelope's route, the number of bright spots of life decreased a lot.

Perhaps there are small animals hidden under the grass, but looking down from the air, there are only endless meadows and quietly flowing rivers.

"So, what did Brother Ying find out?"

"No, there was a group of Tibetan antelopes on the road at three o'clock, and a mother brown bear, one big and one small. I didn't see anything else."

This reserve covers a large area and has a large number of biological species, but there are mostly groups of ungulates roaming the grasslands. The density of other biological species is not as high as expected.

The three idiots from the plateau that Chen Ying had been longing to see were currently just a Tibetan fox whose appearance could not be seen clearly.

People say that a fox's smile is full of charm, while a Tibetan fox's smile is all-powerful. Perhaps it's better if you can't see its appearance clearly.

Before leaving, Chen Ying looked back at the Tibetan fox's location.

A slightly wretched face popped out.

That Tibetan fox actually found its way here?

There was no time to interact with it. Chen Ying got into the car and turned around to see the Tibetan fox standing in the wind watching them leave.

That bewildered expression makes him worthy of the name of Big Fool.

When they were approaching the Zhuonai Lake camp, they saw a baby Tibetan antelope born on the road.

When they saw it, the baby Tibetan antelope had already been born and had been trying for a long time but had not been able to stand up.

If you can't stand up within half an hour and can't learn to run, you will basically be given up.

The mother Tibetan antelope anxiously licked her cub's head, trying to help it stand up.

But the baby Tibetan antelope seemed to have some problems with its front limbs, and it stumbled and fell down again after standing up. The mother Tibetan antelope used her body to help her child stand firmly, but after trying for a long time, it was still useless.

If you can't stand, you can't walk, and you can't get breast milk.

For the little Tibetan antelope, death is its inevitable end.

Chen Ying watched the mother and baby closely. Through the high-powered telescope, the right forelimb joint of the little Tibetan antelope was abnormally swollen. It was not known whether it was injured during delivery or if it was a congenital problem.

The mother Tibetan antelope neighed sadly towards the sky, lingered around her child for a long time, and finally turned around and left.

The little Tibetan antelope also knew that it was abandoned by its mother. It let out a groan and lay weakly on its side, accepting the coming of death.

Chen Ying dropped the telescope and rushed over, taking off his coat as he ran.

After arriving, he quickly wrapped his coat around the little Tibetan antelope's body and picked it up.

Returning to the car, Chen Ying checked and found that, as expected, the lamb had slid out of the birth canal during delivery and hit the ground, causing the leg bone to be slightly dislocated.

"Ali, the milk powder is in my bag, mix it up quickly. I'll fix its leg bones."

With gentle techniques and quick repositioning, and after slightly fixing it with a simple splint, Chen Ying took the bottle of milk powder mixed with the lamb and put it into the lamb's mouth.

The little Tibetan antelope was very hungry and drank milk in big gulps.

He drank the whole bottle of milk in one breath and was reluctant to let go of it. He had to pull it out with great force.

"What to do now?"

Ji Xin was also anxious on the side, he was actually paying attention to the whereabouts of the mother Tibetan antelope.

"Its mother is over there, do you want to send it over?"

From a distance, the mother Tibetan antelope looked for a while, then resolutely turned around and ran away.

"Why? Why don't you want your own child?"

Ji Xin couldn't figure it out and clenched his teeth.

"It's the survival of the fittest in the animal world. We have to keep this cub for a few more days until its bones and joints recover and we can put it back."

The mother Tibetan antelope also knows that she cannot feed her children on her own, so leaving is a helpless choice.

The campsite was made up of two relatively large military tents built side by side.

A pen was built nearby to feed the young Tibetan antelopes that had lost their mother.

When they arrived, the previous group of rangers had just finished feeding the lambs.

"Oh, you're here, why are you bringing any gifts? Come on, put them in quickly."

Chen Ying held the little Tibetan antelope and put it on the grass mat.

"What's wrong with this little guy?"

"When he was born, the angle was wrong and he hit his front knee joint. It's not a big problem. He can't stand for the time being. It has been treated and he will recover in three to five days at most."

Chen Ying put down his things and didn't even have time to rest. He started checking the conditions of the lambs one by one.

The largest one was four days old. After its mother gave birth to it, she was targeted by a pack of wolves.

The mother led the wolves away, and the child was saved, but lost his mother forever.

Chen Ying rubbed and pinched the lambs one by one, and basically there were no major problems.

"Do we need to let these young lambs go back with the Tibetan antelope herd?"

"Not for now. The plan is to take them back by car first and then release them back into the habitat. This will ensure their survival as much as possible."

Every year, tens of thousands of Tibetan antelopes come to give birth to lambs, but not many of them can successfully follow their mothers back to their habitats.

After the handover, the first group of team members set off with a few lambs.

Chen Ying and the others began to pack up and work together.

The work is not difficult, it mainly involves observation and protection.

They do not interfere in the struggles of nature.

Chen Ying and Ji Xin dressed up and went to shoot a promotional video for the Tibetan antelope.

Just as Chen Ying found a place to lie down, Ji Xin gently touched her arm.

"Brother Ying, look over there, is that a snow leopard?"

Ji Xin had never seen a snow leopard in the wild, so he spoke softly for fear that his voice would scare the leopard away.

The snow leopard was carrying three cubs, probably undergoing hunting training before leaving home.

The mother snow leopard glanced at them both coldly and yawned gracefully.

The afternoon sun was a bit hot, and the mother snow leopard just brought her cub out early to observe the environment, and she didn't plan to hunt right away.

The three cubs are almost as big as their mother, and they play and pounce on each other like children.

A little snow leopard sneaked up to its mother from behind, then jumped on the spot, trying to scare the female leopard.

As a result, the mother leopard turned her head and was frightened by the cub that pounced on her from the air. She let out a low roar and jumped on the spot.

The little snow leopard, who had just landed and missed its target, was frightened by its mother again and jumped a little.

When Ji Xin saw this scene, his expression broke.

"See? That's why they are called the Three Idiots of the Plateau."

Chen Ying laughed silently and controlled the drone to record the entire scene.
