Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 376 I’m afraid I can’t eat this meal

Chen Ying also came over to watch out of curiosity, and installed a baseboard heater in the teacher's room.

They have added solar panels here, so they save some money in other places and can still use heaters at night.

Besides, everyone else is young, so they won't be afraid of the cold if they cover themselves with thicker clothes. The main problem is Mrs. Bai's health. She doesn't need a heater at night, and no matter how thick the clothes are, it's still as cold as an ice cellar.

After finishing the installation, Chen Ying placed the small coffee table next to the recliner for his master's wife and stroked Xiao Jin's head.

Xiao Jin squatted on his master's wife's lap, dozing off with his eyes closed.

"Have you lost track of your own weight? That's enough. You crushed my master's wife. I'll hang you up and beat you later. Do you believe it?"

Master Bai pushed Chen Ying's hand away and protected Xiao Jin.

"It's only a little bit older. It's in my lap, so I can stay warm."

"Master's Wife, just spoil it. It's such a big cat, one meter long. I weighed it yesterday, and it was nearly thirty-three kilograms..."

"It's not like its entire weight is on my legs. Look, it understands. Half of its body is on the chair, and it's just its two front legs. How heavy can it be? Go away, don't delay my rest."

Okay, okay, you are the most important person, whatever you say is okay.

Chen Ying had no choice but to give Xiao Jin a look and lead Xia Sen to the second floor to sort out the information.

"The professor will be recuperating here for a month. You and Mengmeng can help me take good care of them. If you have any questions about your paper, you can also ask Professor Bai for help."

Xia Sen quickly took on the task.

"Brother Ying, how long will you be gone this time?"

"I'm not sure. Let's see if we can find the giant panda."

The giant panda's activity area is not fixed, you have to find it and touch it. After that, you have to follow up and observe it, pick up its feces and other biological samples and send them for testing to see if there are any diseases in its body.

Of course it would be better if you could coax it into a willingness for a detailed examination.

He is not mainly studying the living habits of giant pandas, but he also wants to know whether the change in this giant panda's diet is due to individual differences or caused by internal diseases.

If it is the former, it can be handed over to Xiong Youming and other giant panda researchers for study.

If it is the latter, he may have to add another topic.

The application will be approved quickly, and the certificate needs to be collected from the Provincial Forestry and Grassland Bureau.

In addition to Chen Ying, the provincial bureau also sent a researcher to go with him.

Because of this, Chen Ying secretly asked the teacher what this meant.

We never sent investigators before, so why do we have to send someone to monitor him?
Professor Bai laughed out of anger when he heard this, and slapped him on the head, "This researcher is not here to investigate your panda survey, but to prepare for the two nature reserves to carry out joint research projects. What do you think about every day? Have you been on the plateau for so long that your brain has been frozen?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ying knew that his teacher was still angry about him going to Heyuan to do his research project.

Although the Sanjiang Conservation Center is not far from Heyuan, he has never visited his junior sister. It is one thing that their work does not overlap, but the more important thing is to avoid suspicion.

The junior sister also had the same idea. Since it was impossible for them to develop into lovers, she should not give the elders any chance to bring them together.

In fact, the teacher is fine and doesn't have any obsession with this. I guess it's because of the teacher's wife that he brought up the old matter again.

It seems that the master's wife's illness was also caused by the junior sister.

Pity the parents of the world.

Chen Ying ran out to patrol the forest in shame, not daring to stay and get in the way of the teacher.

Just after he went out for a while, the researcher sent a message to Chen Ying, asking when they would leave and asking him to book the tickets together with them.

"Next Tuesday, I'll go to the provincial bureau on Monday to get the permit, and then I'll have to prepare some things. I'll leave on Tuesday afternoon and arrive on Wednesday morning, and I can enter the mountains that day."

The researcher was also a quick person. He checked the time and booked the ticket within ten minutes.

"Brother Ying, I have also contacted the other side. It just so happens that they have a team going into the mountains to conduct a forest resource survey. They want us to go into the mountains together so that we can look after each other. We will go in from Maliu Bay and walk south along the ridge. We will have to cross a river on the way."

"After crossing the river, their resource survey team will turn west to the forest park, and we will continue to the southwest to the ranch to meet up with Teacher Xiong and the others."

It’s really nice to have an assistant. He can take care of all the itineraries and precautions, and Chen Ying just needs to follow them.

The other party was also considerate enough to send him a route map, so that he could first understand the topography of the area by referring to the satellite map.

(They are probably active in this area, the map is just a screenshot I took)
Chen Ying took the map and studied it carefully, and found that except that the mountains here felt a little bigger, it was not as dangerous as here.

With a turn of his eyes, he came up with the idea of ​​exposing them.

And Xiao Jin can also go there to play.

When he was looking up information before, he saw that there was a research team studying the activity area of ​​​​the golden cats, which means that there should be a lot of golden cats there.

Including Ms. Golden Cat, Chen Ying also suspected that it was evacuated from the core area of ​​the neighboring nature reserve.

Maybe we can let Xiao Jin and Jin Ya go find Da Bai, and then cross the mountains to meet him next door? In theory, it is feasible, but the migration speed of giant pandas is not very strong. They spend two-thirds of their time eating and sleeping, and the remaining few hours rushing on the road, it seems impossible to get to where they want to go at the scheduled time.

Another thing is, I don’t know if the climate there is suitable for long-haired cats like Jinya.

Patting his head, Chen Ying forced himself to think clearly.

You can't take the cubs with you wherever you go, they have their own lives.

After taking two deep breaths, Chen Ying walked around carefully and finally went to the tigress in Huashu Valley.

He would be gone for such a long time, and Xia Sen might come to see him halfway, so he had to tell the tigress first, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with if something happened.

The tigress listened to his mumbling impatiently and yelled at him to leave.

These two-legged beasts are spying on the lives of it and its two cubs, which is really annoying the tiger.

If she didn't know that they meant no harm, the tigress would have been unable to hold back and would have rushed over to let them experience for themselves the power of a tigress.

Chen Ying went over and gave Dr. Lin Fang a few words, asking them to go directly to Xia Sen for help if they needed any help.

As for the little princess and her mother in the bamboo forest, the panda man was experienced and did not need his instructions at all.

Apart from this, there seemed to be nothing else he needed to explain.

When he was almost at the first aid station, he suddenly remembered the wolf den and quickly called the management station to ask them to be more careful when patrolling the forest.

Now everything is truly explained and you can leave at any time.

At six o'clock on Monday morning, Chen Ying set out with her backpack.

Professor Bai was walking around in the woods without saying a word. He just waved at him, telling him to hurry up and leave without delay.

We sped all the way and arrived in the provincial capital at around 6pm. We checked into a hotel near the Forestry and Grassland Bureau. I called Mother Chen and found out that she was on night shift again. I was too lazy to go out and just ordered takeout.

The next day, he went to find the researcher, who took him to sign and obtain a special permit, as well as the necessary field research equipment. Afterwards, the two of them had a quick bite and headed straight to the airport.

After the plane arrives there, it will take more than four hours by car to reach the agreed departure point.

It was already past eight when we landed, so it would have been too late to leave then.

They were discussing whether to charter a car and drive directly to the destination before resting, or to rest near the airport and rush to the meeting point early in the morning.

Before he could think clearly, Chen Ying's cell phone rang.

It was Ji Xin who called.

"Brother Ying, have you arrived at the airport? I happen to have a trainee friend who is a volunteer at the reserve you are going to. I have agreed with him that he will pick you up at the airport tonight and has arranged accommodation for you. Just contact him directly after you arrive."

Ji Xin was also considerate enough to send him the other party's contact information, asking them to add each other as friends in advance.

Chen Ying did not reject Ji Xin's kindness. While still waiting for the flight, she spoke directly to the other party.

Upon asking, I found out that the trainee was staying at the protection station where Xiong Youming and his team worked. It has now been renamed an observation station. Most of the volunteers there are trainees, and according to the requirements, they have to stay there for at least one year before they can leave.

When Chen Ying made the call, the other party was already on his way to the airport.

Four hours later, they successfully reunited with the two friends who came to pick them up at the airport.

"Let's set off first. We'll probably arrive in the county at around 1:00 in the evening. We'll find an old restaurant later so you can taste our local delicacies."

Perhaps because they had been staying in the mountains for too long, the two of them were particularly talkative. Chen Ying felt that she had no room to interrupt.

But the researcher who was traveling with them was different. He became familiar with the two people who came to pick them up in just a few words, and ten minutes later they were just about to stop the car and find a place to swear an oath of blood alliance.

After Chen Ying got in the car, she leaned against the door and fell asleep in the blink of an eye. When she was woken up, the car was parked on the side of the road. In front of it was a simple shed with a dozen tables inside. It was almost ten o'clock and there was still a lot of noise.

"This is an old restaurant that serves mutton. People from nearby counties like to drive over to eat. I've already called ahead to make an order. Let's go, let's eat and continue on our way."

The four of them found a slightly more spacious place to sit down. Within a few minutes, a pot of braised lamb and a large bowl of hand-pulled lamb were served.

The special mutton soup noodles here are also a must-try.

Chen Ying took a few bites and was about to say that the taste was indeed authentic when she saw a tail sticking out from the side of the plastic shed.

Before he could finish his words, he put down his chopsticks and stared at the tail carefully, motioning his three companions to come and have a look.

"Is this a cat?" The researcher took a look and didn't think it was anything special, but he also felt that Chen Ying would not let him see an ordinary cat.

The two trainees were different. After staring at it for a while, Ji Xin's friend called out softly.

"This, is this the golden cat's tail?"

There are indeed records of golden cats appearing here, but one has to enter the buffer zone to be lucky enough to see them.

The area they are currently in is located on the outskirts of the experimental area and is still a long way from the buffer zone. How come they suddenly saw such a large protected animal?
Chen Ying gently lifted a corner of the tarpaulin, and a half-grown golden cat chewing on a lamb leg bone suddenly came into view.
