Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 265: Guest Playing as a Hoof Repairman (Additional Updates Asking for Monthly Tickets)

While drinking butter tea at Uncle Zhaxi's house, Chen Ying and her friends in the small group kept chirping.

"The blue-haired man was finally prosecuted. It's unclear how he was dealt with, but the families of the two victims did not agree to sign a letter of understanding. I guess the blue-haired man will be in prison for a while."

"The girl was not prosecuted, but the school gave her a warning, and her future path was narrowed by her own actions."

In fact, Shan Cong and Wei Ting were also given school warnings.

Shan Cong was originally admitted to graduate school, but his qualification was also revoked.

He accepted the result calmly and decided to do the same as Wei Ting. No matter what industry he was in, he would not give up his determination to be an animal protector.

Chen Ying also saw the news that the Shan family, the Wei family, and media reporters went to the management station. He said nothing and turned off the mute button, pretending he didn't know.

Aunt Zhaxi’s milk tea is really amazing, and Chen Ying can’t stop eating the milk tofu she makes.

"Aunt Tashi, how are the yaks you raise giving birth to this year?"

"Fortunately, there are ten cubs, all of them are very strong."

Aunt Tashi's accent is lighter than Uncle Tashi's. Her hometown is closer to the city. If she hadn't been unable to let go of Uncle Tashi, she would probably have gone to live in Richeng.

Aunt Tashi is not only good at making milk tea and milk tofu, but also a great cook. The yak soup pot she makes is considered a gift at the protection station.

Upon learning that Chen Ying was bringing Erniu over, Aunt Zhaxi made preparations early in the morning and provided Erniu with the best meat and bones.

Erniu's face was filled with happiness as she ate. After she finished, she ran to the grassland to digest the food.

More than 20 kilometers northwest of here is the foot of the mountain, which is also one of the sources of the mother river.

Erniu likes the environment here very much. She lies on the rock, rubbing it left and right, rolling over, with her belly facing the sky and smiling.

Upon learning that the snow leopard that saved people was visiting their home, two other herders who had moved here brought food to Tashi's home to see the snow leopard.

It just so happened that Erniu ran out to play after eating, so we missed each other perfectly.

But it doesn’t matter, the herdsmen happily lit a bonfire, and the three families gathered together to start a grassland BBQ.

"Cedan, is there something wrong with the hind legs of your yak?"

Zhaxi and two other men came back from the river with water and said something to the hostess next door.

"The yak's foot seems to be injured, but I checked it and it should be fine."

Chen Ying happened to have nothing to do, so he said he could go and help out.

I have treated many wild animals, including yaks, but this is the first time I have performed orthopedic surgery on yaks.

Arriving at the pasture and finding the yak, Chen Ying walked around it.

After the yak became familiar with his scent, he tentatively approached and touched its big head. The yak did not dodge or lose its temper. Instead, it let out a low "moo".

Chen Ying could tell from its voice that it seemed to be in pain and a little irritated.

"Big guy, bear with it for a while. Let me take a look at it for you. Does your foot hurt?"

As he spoke, he carefully moved over and touched the yak's right hind foot.

When I got closer, I found that the yak's foot seemed to be afraid of touching the ground.

It was still bright outside, but Chen Ying still took out a high-intensity flashlight and took a closer look, and found that there seemed to be something wrong with the yak's hoof.

"Uncle Zhaxi, do you trim the hooves of your yaks at a fixed time?"

"No, they won't. Yaks don't need their hooves trimmed. They move around on the grass every day, which can grind off the excess."

"There's something wrong with this yak's hoof. It might have been injured by stepping on a sharp stone. I need to let it fall down and see. Can you please ask two brothers to come and restrain it?" Under the guidance of Uncle Zhaxi, Chen Ying tied the yak to a wooden stake and let it lie down. Then two young men came over to help hold the yak down, for fear that it would struggle due to pain or fear.

When they heard that there was a problem with Aunt Caidan's yak's hoof, everyone ran over to watch what was happening.

Yaks are different from other animals. Basically, there is no practice of trimming yaks' hooves. Chen Ying didn't even think about trimming their hooves. He just wanted to see if they had stepped on something and were injured.

After knocking the yak down, we picked up its hoof and saw that a sharp piece of rock had pierced into the hoof, and the surrounding area had begun to become inflamed and festering.

Fortunately, the injury should not have lasted too long, and Chen Ying happened to come over to play and discovered the clue, otherwise the yak's hoof would have been scrapped in a while.

I found a tool to hook out the piece of stone, and the black dirty blood spurted out. Then I squeezed out the pus and blood, cleaned up the rotten and softened parts around it, applied some medicine, and that was it.

After all, it is a yak, and it cannot be bandaged like other small animals.

Moreover, the wound is not big. After inserting the medicine powder, you just need to pay attention to the dog's diet, keep it at home and move less, and it will heal on its own in a few days.

After watching Chen Ying cleaning the yak's hooves, Aunt Caidan ran back to the tent and carried over a bag of dried meat and cheese.

Chen Ying refused, but Aunt Caidan got angry and asked if she disliked her.

Chen Ying had no choice but to accept Aunt Caidan's thank-you gift under Uncle Zhaxi's persuasion.

Originally, we came to Tashi's house for a dinner because we wanted to see the snow mountain elves, but we also solved a hidden danger in Caidan's house. Everyone became more enthusiastic, singing, dancing, eating, and the party lasted until the late night.

The next morning, Chen Ying woke up feeling dizzy and only came to her senses after feeling the cold grassland breeze outside.

Erniu has returned and brought back her prey.

A yellow lamb kid.

It was eating not far from Uncle Zhaxi's tent, eating very seriously and attentively.

Chen Ying did not go over to disturb it. He packed up his things and waited for Uncle Zhaxi to let the yaks go. When he came back, it was time for them to leave.

Erniu will also go back with us and release it into the uninhabited area tomorrow morning.

The activity territory of a snow leopard can reach 40 to 50 square kilometers, but there are only two snow leopards recorded in the Budong River area. The vast area is enough for Erniu to occupy a territory of her own.

The choice of release site is also very particular. The depth is 60 kilometers, but in fact, if you want to get to Uncle Zhaxi’s home, it only takes about 50 kilometers to take a shortcut.

According to scientific research data, the maximum hunting distance of a snow leopard can reach 80 kilometers.

In other words, after Erniu was released, most of its activities were still within the human monitoring area.

In order to protect Erniu and collect data for scientific research, they put a collar on Erniu before releasing her.

The collar will stay on it for a year, which is enough time for humans to collect the data they want.

When the animal was released, the media reporters who had come to the management station with the Shan and Wei families two days ago also applied to go and recorded the entire process of Erniu's release.

Erniu remembered Chen Ying's words and ran directly to the mountain after coming out of the transfer cage. When the first snow fell, she returned to the meadow outside the management station to move around.

This is to better protect it.

After all, once the report is released, there will definitely be many people or media personnel who will try every means to interview and try to contact this snow leopard that saved people.

Erniu is a wild animal after all. Saving people was its own choice. It was also because Wei Ting and the others had a little bit of Chen Ying's scent on them. This does not mean that snow leopards should get close to humans.

Staying away is the best way to protect both parties.

What Chen Ying and the others didn't expect was that in addition to the reporters recording the release process, there was another pair of eyes that also saw it all.
