Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 423 Xiong Da: The world is so big, I want to go see it
The brown bear ran over and waved its claws at the wolves. Its sharp claws scratched them, tearing their skin and flesh.

It charges forward bravely, never missing a single step.

The wolf pack, which had already begun to retreat, could no longer hold on. After a long howl, the leader wolf led the remaining four or five wolves to retreat quickly.

The brown bear wanted to chase, but Chen Ying suddenly called out "Big Bear". It looked back and its ferocious expression gradually subsided.

It’s really big. Chen Ying took two steps forward in surprise.

When it was still a cub, it dared to follow its mother to fight against the wolf pack. Now that it has grown up, it is even braver than last year.

Xiong Da also recognized Chen Ying, walked towards him for a distance, and sat down to catch his breath.

"Are you okay? Where are your mom and Xiong Er?"

"Ahhh, roar."

Big Bear's ability to speak was not as good as Second Bear's, but Chen Ying still understood. It separated from its mother and brothers in the summer and walked alone along the mountains, intending to stop wherever it liked.

Mom is still by the big lake, it likes the environment there.

As for Xiong Er, his territory is adjacent to his mother's. Because his fighting ability is a little weak, his mother decided to keep him for another year.

The mother bear did not participate in mating this year and will probably have to wait until next year to find a mate and give birth to a litter of cubs.

Xiong Er can spend one more winter with his mother and learn how to survive the long cold winter alone.

"What about you? Why didn't you stay with Xiong Er for a while longer?"

"I can live on my own." Big Bear bit the tip of his claw, which still had wolf blood and scraped meat on it. "I have a big appetite. If I stay with my mother and brothers, there won't be enough food."

Yes, although the number of Tibetan antelopes and other ungulates has increased several times in the past decade, the corresponding number of wild beasts and birds of prey has also increased a lot.

The top carnivores are too densely populated, causing terrible damage to the ecological environment.

"I'm leaving now. When you see my mother, tell her that I fought with the wolves and I'm not afraid of them."

"Okay, I'll bring it to you." Chen Ying rubbed Big Bear's head. His hair was rough and hard, not as soft as when he was a child.

"Go ahead, be careful and stay safe. By the way, there's a big bear further in, very fierce. You can't beat it now, so don't force yourself. You'll be able to fight it when you're a little bigger."

The bear that Chen Ying was talking about was the brown bear that had injured people before. It was exiled deep into the uninhabited area, and no one knew whether it was still alive.

Judging from its strength, it might have already become a tyrant.

After all, Big Bear is still an underage bear. It is not shameful to give way at the right time. Things may change over time, so don't bully a young bear.

Huangmao is not familiar with Big Bear, but since the two-legged animals are aware of them, they are friends.

He leaned over and sniffed, remembering the scent of Big Bear, then dragged another wolf carcass over for Big Bear to eat together.

The wild beasts were not used to sharing food, and Big Bear attacked the wolf because he had been almost bitten to death by the wolf before. But when it came to eating meat, he preferred tender lamb.

After taking two bites politely, Big Bear raised his head and roared. After looking at Chen Ying again, he ran towards the highest mountain.

The snow leopard that was fighting the wolf pack with Huangmao and the little snow leopard still did not approach them. It looked at them for a while from a distance of about ten meters, then turned and ran in another direction.

"What on earth is this snow leopard doing here?"

Yin Li came over and asked, without waiting for Chen Ying to answer, he urged him to finish his meal and pack up to get on the road.

Their final destination was the Heyuan Management Station, so on the third day, they walked half a circle around the lake and then turned to continue.

And by the lake, Chen Ying saw Mother Bear and Second Bear coming there to drink water.

The size of Big Bear and Little Bear is not much different, but their aura is very different.

Xiong Er looks softer and his voice is deeper.

After seeing Chen Ying, Xiong Er came over and rubbed against her, and even shared his unfinished food with Chen Ying.

Xiong Er prefers sweets, but Xiong Da doesn’t eat anything sweet at all.

Seeing this clingy baby, Chen Ying took out the cheese candy she bought on the way to Heyuan.

It is not particularly sweet and will not stick to teeth. It can be eaten by human toddlers and has little impact on animals.

Xiong Er held Chen Ying's hand and wanted more after finishing eating, but his mother Xiong yelled at him. He let go of him with a grievance and sat there sulking with his head down.

After leaving the lake, the two bears followed for a long distance, and only turned to the other side more than 20 kilometers away from the Heyuan Management Station.

The two students from the geological team kept their mouths shut the whole time. The interaction between Chen Ying and the wild animals gave them the illusion that "I can do it too".

But the senior who studied birds poured cold water on them rudely.

"If you two don't believe in superstition, you can try to get close to the yellowish snow leopard. If you touch its tail, I lose, and I will give you a whole roasted lamb later."

Dao Meihua interjected, "I'll give you a boost, a pot of hand-pulled mutton, and you can eat until you don't want to eat anymore."

The two didn't even try and just gave up.

They were just having a momentary illusion, they were not really stupid.

Didn’t you see that the others were walking around those two snow leopards?

When they were with Xiong Er and Xiong Ma before, only Station Master Yin Li dared to get closer, but he didn't dare to pet the bears. Others didn't even dare to get out of the car, for fear that they would do something wrong and anger the brown bears.

As they walked out of the deep no-man's land, the injured classmate's condition improved a lot. On the last day, he could barely walk a few steps by supporting himself on his classmate's shoulders.

When they arrived at the care station, as soon as they got off the car, Yin Li arranged for them to live in the dormitory and asked the doctor from the station to come to the dormitory to examine him.

"Your teacher said that he will contact you after they complete their mission and leave the no-man's land. I will then arrange a car to take you two to reunite with your teachers and classmates. Before that, just be patient and recuperate at the station."

After settling them down, Yin Li also had to send Chen Yingdao, Meihua and the trainee back to the first aid station.

After resting for a night at the management station, Yin Li drove them back early the next morning. Less than two kilometers away, they received a call from the station saying that a tourist had found an injured bird on the roadside. They couldn't identify its species, but it looked very ferocious.

"Stationmaster Yin, let's go and take a look."

The trainee clapped his thighs excitedly. He saw many birds along the way, but he didn't see the one he wanted to see the most, which was a bit regretful.

Yin Li changed direction and drove towards the place the tourists mentioned.

After walking about seven or eight kilometers in the opposite direction, we saw two cars parked on the side of the road. Four or five people gathered in a circle, pointing at the roadside.

"It should be there."

Yin Li parked his car on the side of the road, gave safety instructions, and then the four of them got out of the car to check the situation. "Hello, did you call the police to report the injured bird?"

"Yes, I called. Are you the police?"

A young girl looked at them suspiciously for a moment, her cell phone camera panning across their faces.

"I'm a staff member of the Heyuan Management Station, and this is veterinarian Chen from the station."

"Is that the injured bird? Have you ever seen it?"

The girl and her companions were secretly filming, but Yin Li did not ask them to stop. He also turned on the work recorder he carried with him, so he was not afraid of them taking random photos.

"Stationmaster Yin, this is an adult falcon. It must have injured its wings in a fight with other birds of prey."

The trainee who was studying birds observed and made a judgment.

"Cover it with clothes first, and then find a way to put it in a cage. Don't let its wings move around, otherwise it may lose the ability to fly."

Chen Ying looked for a while, then jumped off the roadbed and said, "Let me take a look at the situation. Don't get close for now."

He opened his waist bag and took out some snacks that he hadn't used for a long time to lure the injured falcon.

The falcon, which was a little stressed, jumped back a few steps at first, but seemed to sense something. It stood there for a while, tilted its head to look twice, and then tentatively pecked at the snacks in Chen Ying's hand.

Its beak was very sharp, but fortunately Chen Ying's gloves were of good quality, so when it pecked at the food, there was only a slight dull pain.

After eating the snacks, the falcon became familiar with Chen Ying's approach. When he reached out to grab its body, it struggled slightly and did not move again.

Chen Ying quickly checked it out and said, "It's a broken wing. We need to take it back to have the bone straightened. We also need to reposition it and support it."

The treatment is simple. The only variable is to make the falcon stop flapping its wings randomly.

Dao Meihua carried down an iron cage from the car, put the falcon in it, and then covered it with a cloth to prevent it from getting frightened and struggling.

When Chen Ying and the other two were assembling the falcon, Yin Li also left the contact information of the girl who called the police and promised to send her videos of the falcon regularly before the falcon recovered and was released.

"In fact, you can go directly to the WeChat public account and search for our Heyuan official account, and there will be videos of rescued animals, both those released and those specially placed."

After all, not all animals can return to the wild after being rescued. Some are seriously injured and have limb disabilities, and some are too old to hunt and feed themselves in the wild. These animals will be arranged to appropriate places for further treatment and rehabilitation.

Those that can be exhibited will be arranged for exhibition, and those that cannot be exhibited will also have their own little world to spend their retirement in peace.

The tourists who had been watching nearby also silently took out their mobile phones and followed the official account of the Heyuan Rescue Center as Yin Li said.

Only then did I realize that the rescue center has rescued so many animals, both carnivorous and herbivorous.

Especially a litter of little desert cats. Although their fur was messy and their appearance was a bit sloppy, they looked particularly cute.

"You can also follow Qingye's official account. Their snow leopards and lynxes have their own daily life videos."

Those left at the rescue center basically need to be released, and most of those that cannot return to the wild are sent to Qingye for shelter.

Just as Chen Ying and the others were about to get in the car and leave, a young man suddenly pointed at Chen Ying and said, "I know who you are. You are the great druid Doctor Chen Ying that was mentioned online before, right?"

Chen Ying looked up in surprise and looked at him expressionlessly.

The man felt that Chen Ying had agreed and instantly became excited.

"Doctor Chen, I am your fan. But when I knew you, your personal account had stopped updating or even cancelled. I just want to ask you, will you apply for a new account in the future and popularize relevant knowledge online?"

He talked a lot, but the point was just one: he had a younger brother at home who was in poor health and couldn't move freely, but he loved animals very much, and his favorite were the real animal videos posted by Chen Ying.

After Chen Ying cancelled his account, his brother was depressed for a long time. He and his family went to great lengths to cheer him up.

"Doctor Chen, can I take a photo with you? Also, can you please exchange social media accounts with my brother? He really likes animals, and he likes you too."

Chen Ying was a little hesitant. Yin Li put his arm around his shoulders and took the initiative to give the man his contact information.

"Aying often goes to uninhabited areas to rescue animals and rarely uses social media. If your brother is interested, he can chat with me. If you want to ask anything, I'll ask him to answer it when he's free, okay?"

The man nodded vigorously and happily exchanged ball numbers with Yin Li.

"Doctor Chen, Stationmaster Yin, my home is on the border of Hubei Province. There are many rare animals and plants in Shennongjia over there. If you go there to play, be sure to contact me. I can be your guide."

Chen Ying couldn't help but look at him again.

Those who are engaged in animal protection and plant and animal research basically cannot avoid this place.

Shennongjia is a globally recognized kingdom of biodiversity, where a large number of rare and endangered animals and plants are preserved. Every year, domestic and foreign experts who apply to conduct biological research within the area have to queue up.

However, Chen Ying simply wanted to go in and see the world. As for research, the animals in Jiamugou and Heyuan alone were enough for him to study for a lifetime.

Otherwise, he could also visit the Gaoligong Mountains in Yunnan Province. After all, he personally prefers cats.

After bidding farewell to this group of lovely tourists, Chen Ying and his team returned to the first aid station with the falcon.

He didn't even need to do it himself. Several master's and doctoral students at the training station rushed to help and quickly fixed the falcon's wings.

Because there are many cats and dogs near the first aid station, it is not suitable for birds to recuperate, so the falcon directly lives in the simple house behind the training station.

A group of lovely trainees took matters into their own hands and quickly renovated two bird wards specifically for the care of sick birds.

After being gone for nearly ten days, we came back and found that the little lynx's eyes had recovered a lot.

But the left eye still has some sequelae from the previous infection, so Chen Ying plans to send it to a rescue center for a detailed eye examination to see if surgical intervention is needed.

Jin Ya took good care of this adopted son. Her brother's child, the little lynx with a heart disease, did not receive such treatment.

It was probably because Jin Ya herself was not mature at the time. She said she was taking care of the cub, but she almost treated the cub as a toy.

But now it is no longer the little girl who knows nothing. Not to mention the words and deeds of Sister Leopard and Sister Tiger, even the thick-skinned Erniu has raised three cubs. Jin Ya, who claims to be smarter than Erniu, will definitely not be willing to admit defeat.

After knowing that Jin Ya had found an adopted son for her, Erniu came to visit once or twice.

In addition, Ms. Lynx came to visit Jinya and her baby with her baby.

The gray and white little lynx in Ms. Lynx's home is a calm person, with the caution and curiosity unique to cats. When it saw the sick little lynx in the observation room, the gray and white little lynx observed it for almost two hours before slowly approaching its fellow cat with poor eyesight.

These days, the female classmate who takes care of the little lynx combs its hair and washes its body when she has nothing to do. Its fur is neat and clean, and it has also been dewormed. It looks completely different from the poor little thing with its face covered with secretions when it was brought back.

(It should be Teletubbies putting eye drops in)
The gray and white little lynx has been living with its mother nearby these days, and occasionally comes to visit the sick little lynx on its own.

When it arrives, it avoids people and does not move around when it enters the observation room. After jumping onto the desk, it lies on the table obediently, staring at the baby in the cage across the cage. Occasionally, it will call out to you and me, as if they are chatting.
