Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 315 Erniu, are you raising fish?
I’m envious. How can I not be envious? My eyes are red with envy.

If the leader wasn't there, those few of them who showed off would have been scolded by their colleagues.

The leaders left after inquiring about the situation, and the rest were the cadres of the herdsmen’s village and the leaders of the local forestry and grassland bureau.

The leaders of the Forestry and Grassland Bureau focused their inquiries on the snow leopards and lynxes. They carefully watched the video captured by the law enforcement device, the video from the camera worn by Erniu, and the audio from the recorder on the positioning collar worn by the lynx Jinya.

"Thank you, Dr. Chen. If it weren't for you and the lynx you brought with you, the two children would have been in great danger."

The leaders of the Forestry and Grassland Bureau were somewhat fortunate that they did not block this joint project at the time.

Although this time it was luck and an accident, think about it, if there was no project and Dr. Chen Ying did not bring the lynx here, would the two children survive?

The leader of the Forestry and Grassland Bureau praised all the personnel involved in the rescue, and also glanced through the rear window of the car at Jin Ya and Xiao Jin who were lying obediently in the cage.

"If Dr. Chen needs any resources, you can report to our bureau. Although Dr. Chen's organizational relationship is not with us, you are the leader of the joint research team, and we will do our best to support the research of the research team."

After more than ten minutes of polite conversation, the leaders had to leave as they had other things to do.

After everyone left, Chen Ying and Yin Li looked at each other and prepared to get in the car to go back to the maintenance station to rest.

As soon as they got out of the car, before they had time to say anything, a group of herdsmen rushed over and knelt down to kowtow to them.

Chen Ying was so scared that she hid behind the car.

Yin Li quickly grabbed the leading herder and called on team members to help take him to the small meeting room to sit down.

The people who came were relatives of one of the two children, three uncles, two aunts and several cousins.

"The child's father passed away a few years ago. His mother was so sad that she ran away and became a nun. After that, the child has been living with us and attending a nearby herdsmen primary school."

This summer, the child's mother came back to see him and told his brother that she didn't have much time left.

After the child overheard the news, he was very sad and felt that God was so unfair.

"Last month, a college student from the mainland came to travel and stayed at our house for a while. He taught my children and the children of our neighbors a lot."

"But that person's words were a bit strange, as if he believed in gods very much, and he kept asking around in the village which snow mountain was the sacred mountain."

Chen Ying was startled and asked a few more questions. His age and gender matched, but his name was unclear. All he knew was that he said his last name was Cheng.

"If you want to check, I can ask the village for you. All guests staying here have to register with the village."

"Forget it. If a police officer comes to ask you questions, just tell the truth."

Chen Ying revealed a little bit that they found the deceased's belongings on the road, which were most likely those of the college student.

"I heard him say that he wanted to find the snow mountain elves. He also said that he was studying folklore and wanted to see what the representative of the gods of the Great Snow Mountain looked like."

The youngest boy suddenly spoke up, "I showed him the photos I took of snow leopards, lynxes, and brown bears. He asked me where I took the photos and said he wanted to see them, too."

"By the way, he also asked me if there were sky burials here. I told him that we don't have that here, it's only available near northern Tibet, and he seemed a little disappointed at the time."

Chen Ying and Yin Li looked at each other and were basically certain that the college student entered the no-man's land with the intention of dying.

Seeing the gods of the snow mountains and asking about sky burials are probably just attempts to seek help from external forces to liberate one's soul.

Orphan, terminally ill, and very young.

It is really hard for a person to have these factors.

After seeing the herdsman off, Chen Ying and the rangers went back to rest.

Another group of people came in the evening, they were the family of another child.

The child's family worked in the city, and he usually lived with his aunt. After the incident, the child's parents had a quarrel with his uncle and aunt.

It was his aunt who came.

"It was clearly his own behavior, but he blamed me for not taking good care of the child. If you think I can't take good care of him, why don't you take care of him yourself? You just despise the child for being born deaf in one ear."

After expressing her gratitude, the child's aunt continued to talk a lot.

It is said that the child's parents only cared about their eldest son and youngest daughter, and did not care about their second son who was born with a disability. They used the excuse of being busy with work to send him back to the pastoral area, and only gave him 500 yuan a month for living expenses.

"My family provided the child with clothes, shoes, and money for his education. We have three children of our own, but my husband has never said a word of disdain and raises him as if he were his own."

"I don't know why the child ran to an uninhabited area. The child's parents are now making a scene in the hospital and are trying to cause trouble for the neighbors, saying that their child abducted our child."

The child's aunt burst into tears as she spoke.

"How can there be such parents?"

"I have discussed it with my husband. We will go to the police station tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to complete the formalities and put the child's household registration in our household registration book. Even if he is not my biological child, in my heart he is no different from my biological child."

The child's aunt dragged over the snakeskin bag that was lying at her feet.

Inside were the dried goods she had dried in the summer, including half a bag of mushrooms and a beef leg.

"Our family is not well off, I did all this by myself, thank you for helping us find our child. Thank you..."

Chen Ying sat beside him with a tense body, and Jin Ya and Xiao Jin squatted beside him.

Perhaps sensing his inner emotions, Jinya placed her paws on his legs and rubbed him gently.

Yin Li drove the child's aunt back to the herdsman village and put the dry goods left behind in Chen Ying's room. Chen Ying looked at the bag, her mind in a mess.

The child is very unfortunate to have such a family, but he is also very lucky to have a kind uncle and aunt.

It's impossible to say that he hasn't heard some rumors, but overall, he is considered a lucky kid.

Chen Ying called Duanmu and asked about the situation of temporary ecological conservation workers in various places.

He had only recently heard of this position. It seemed to be a subsidy provided by the Sanjiangyuan Nature Reserve next door to herder families who were enclosed and restricted from grazing.

Duanmu said that they do not have this position set up for the time being, after all, there is a difference between the no-man's land and Sanjiangyuan.

Since it is called an uninhabited area, it means that it is not suitable for human survival. Moreover, the environment is too harsh and there is no formal configuration. Who would dare to let herders enter to monitor the ecology?

After asking Chen Ying about the whole story, Duanmu said he would find a solution.

The central medical area is quite large, and regular employees cannot be recruited, but one or two temporary worker positions can still be vacated.

Chen Ying was not being overly kind. He always felt that the hearing-impaired child entered the uninhabited area to accompany another child.

But he couldn't say this, otherwise the child's parents would probably make a fuss.

I was sleeping in the middle of the night when the phone suddenly rang.

It was Yin Li who called and asked him to come to the rescue fence behind the management station.

Listening to Yin Li's tone, there was some helplessness and a hint of smile.

Chen Ying wrapped herself in a thick coat and ran over in the cold wind to take a look. Oh, these shameless big cats had driven out the rescued Tibetan antelopes and occupied the livestock shed that had just been replaced with hay.

Seeing Chen Ying coming, Erniu shrank back for a moment, then mustered up the courage to call out twice.

Chen Ying looked behind it, wow, there was a snow leopard on each side, a male one!

Jin Ya and Xiao Jin squatted and lay in the middle of the haystack on the wooden frame, snuggling together and watching the fun and eating melons.

The gray-haired lynx chose another haystack to live in.

The snow leopard cub was sleeping soundly against Erniu, and did not even open its eyes to see the lively scene.

Yin Li pointed to the camera in the corner of the shed. "The staff on duty were almost scared to death when they saw them on the surveillance camera. They were afraid that they were coming for the Tibetan antelopes. In the end, these guys drove the Tibetan antelopes out and left them alone."

When Yin Li got the news, he took his men to relocate the Tibetan antelope to another place, and then called Chen Ying to ask him to come and clean up the matter.

How else can it end? Just like this, they will leave on their own when daybreak comes.

But Chen Ying didn't expect that the silly Erniu would be so popular with the opposite sex?
Then why was it excluded in the Zhuonai Lake area before? Was it because the ones who excluded it were female leopards?

My goodness, I thought you were a fool, but it turns out you are Aquaman!
No wonder there are no fish in the no-man’s land. It turns out that all the fish are in your pond.

Chen Ying went over and rubbed its head hard.

"You guys should leave before dawn and find something to eat. Don't scare the staff."

Erniu cried out, turned over while holding the snow leopard cub, looking well-behaved.

The yellow-haired snow leopard yawned and fell asleep, but the slight shaking of its tail meant that it had not completely let down its guard.

That's right. Apart from brothers, how could two adult male leopards live together peacefully in the same space?

Even brothers will completely separate and find their own territory after leaving their mother to live independently.

When I came back in the morning, except for Jinya, Xiaojin and the snow leopard cub, all the other big cats in the animal shed were gone.

Jin Ya and Xiao Jin ate and drank their fill and continued to sleep.

The snow leopard cub caught a rabbit and was eating it when he saw Chen Ying coming. He looked up, swung his tail as a greeting, and continued to show off his meat.

It was almost noon when Erniu and the yellow-haired snow leopard came back together.

"Where's that friend of yours?"

"It went back. It just came to take a look, and it didn't plan to leave here with us."

After Erniu finished speaking, she moved closer to Chen Ying with a mysterious expression on her face and put her front legs on his knees.

"Two-legged beast, you know, we went out today and met a lynx. It ran over from another place. It said that a few leopards jumped over from somewhere and almost bit it to death."

"Leopard?"

"Well, I don't know what a leopard looks like."

Erniu stared at Chen Ying with her big eyes, her face full of desire, as if she felt that by looking at him like this, she would get what she wanted.

However, Chen Ying didn't notice Erniu's "flirting eyes" at all. He took out his mobile phone to check the news. Sure enough, a news report from last month said that leopards were spotted in the Sanjiangyuan Grand Canyon area next door.

At present, there are nearly a hundred snow leopards and a dozen leopards in the entire Sanjiang area.

The report also included a photo taken by a temporary ecological ranger when he encountered a leopard.

(Leopard: Damn it, what should I do? Go out or retreat? Will that bipedal beast leave? What is he holding in front of me? I want to see it!)
