Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 444 I'm Already Honest, Please Let Me Go
"Sister Leopard, Sister Leopard, Sister Leopard, I'm begging you to let me go!"

Chen Ying was knocked down just after he stepped into the open space of the first aid station, and then a leopard head breathed hard on his head and neck.

Although it’s not particularly smelly, carnivores rarely brush their teeth, so their breath is very touching.

After sniffing for two or three minutes, Chen Ying was about to roll his eyes. Sister Bao raised her head and let out a low howl, then let go of him, jumped onto the wooden frame and lay down.

"Sister Leopard, your welcome is too strong. Don't do that next time."

Chen Ying lifted the collar and smelled it, and decided not to keep the clothes.

Professor Bai stood on the first-floor platform with his hands behind his back, looking at him, smiling so hard that his teeth were showing.

"Teacher, why are you here alone? Where are they?"

"Xia Sen and Meng Meng went to Laoxionggou. They said there was a new black bear. Xiao Gao and Xiao Shen went to check the artificial aviary in Huashu Valley. They should be back soon."

"Why didn't the Bird Research Institute care about their visit?"

"They mainly sent people to the mountains. There are three mountains and four teams. The task is very heavy."

After putting the things away, Chen Ying went downstairs and could no longer see Sister Bao and Jin Ya.

"Those little guys went to play in the back." Professor Bai was putting food on the table for the little hedgehog and cleaning the small wooden table at the same time.

"Look, this is what we did ourselves, isn't it nice?"

(Similar to this one, but a little bigger, with a two-inch high platform at the bottom.)
All the materials used were made from dead trees found in the woods and then spliced ​​together. They were also treated with waterproof paint before the little hedgehogs could move in.

Chen Ying squatted down and took a look. It had three bedrooms and two living rooms, as well as a dedicated sports field.

The hut is placed under a tree next to the warehouse, making it convenient for the hedgehog family to move around.

The little hedgehog was like a meatball, lying in the cotton nest and sleeping.

The cotton mats in their nests were hand-sewn by my master's wife. There are several of them, which are convenient for washing, drying and replacing.

After chatting with Professor Bai for a while, I heard a dog barking approaching. I looked up and saw it was Duoduo, followed by two chubby puppies.

"These two puppies are the offspring of two other retired dogs. They were eliminated after the police dog base came to select them and stayed at the management station. They can follow the forest rangers to patrol the mountains in the future."

After the station was upgraded to a research base, a security team was formed to patrol the station and the perimeter of the base at least three times a day. Dogs were brought along during the patrols to guard against hidden animals or humans with ill intentions.

"Where is Duoduo's she-wolf?"

"The mother wolf led the pack to migrate to the northern mountains. Duoduo was reluctant to leave and stayed behind."

After all, Duoduo is a dog, not a wolf. Even though it has a good relationship with the mother wolf, it cannot fully adapt to pure wild life.

However, due to the establishment of the research and study base, human activities in this area became too frequent, and the wolves naturally chose to stay away for the sake of their own development and the safety of both parties.

"But Duoduo would visit the mother wolf every now and then. I guess after he and her cubs take over the wolf pack, the mother wolf will come back."

Professor Bai rubbed Duoduo's head, moved a basin of meat and bones from the kitchen, took half of it and placed it in the eating area under the wooden rack.

Duoduo let the two puppies eat the meat, and it lay beside Chen Ying, sticking out its tongue, as if smiling and welcoming Chen Ying home.

Before lunch, Uncle Tiger and Brother Leopard followed Xiao Hai back.

Xiao Hai went to the mountain to check for snakes. A few days ago, a forest ranger reported that a snake nest was found in a small valley between the Huashu Valley and the Hot Spring Valley.

"There is a pile of rocks there. Brother Gao and I went to take a look. I think it was piled up by a mudslide in the summer. A nest of snakes made a nest there. They were all cobras, about thirty of them."

Xiao Hai showed Chen Ying the photos he took.

"I have spread some pesticides in this area and planted some snake repellent plants. I have also contacted the management station and asked them to try not to go down to the col."

Now forest rangers carry snake medicine, realgar paste and the like with them, and are also equipped with trekking poles to make it easier to scare away snakes.

"I plan to take Xiaobai over to have a look. That guy has been hiding at the conservation station and scaring people recently. Fortunately, he is smart enough to know not to scare children, otherwise he would have been humanely dealt with."

Chen Ying looked at the photo and felt a little creepy. A nest of little snakes tangled together made her feel like she had trypophobia.

"I'll bring it back this afternoon. I parked the car and left, forgetting I had such a big treasure..."

Just as he finished speaking, a white rope fell from the sky.

Now that Xiaobai heard Chen Ying say that he had forgotten about it, he got so angry that he tied himself up around his neck!
"Hey, why are you back?"

Not only did Xiaobai come back, but Daqing also slowly slid down from the tree and naturally wrapped around Xiao Hai.

In addition to helping out at the emergency station, Xiao Hai and Xiao Shen also served as lecturers at the research and study base at the management station, responsible for teaching students who came to study. Currently, we have teachers for animals, but we are still short of lecturers for plants.

Previously, the staff of the management station acted as temporary lecturers to explain to the students the unique plants in Jiamugou, but they could only give a brief introduction. As for in-depth explanations of the characteristics and growth environment of the plants, their knowledge was not enough.

"Many management stations across the country are promoting volunteer activities. We didn't have any in Jiamugou before, but since the opening of this research base, we will probably arrange volunteers to come here starting this year. The service period is expected to be half a year, mainly teaching children and conducting regular field surveys."

In the past six months since Xiao Hai came here, he has visited all four villages and established good relationships with the village cadres.

"I have been moving around a lot before, without settling down. After my service here is over, I plan to go back to Yunnan Province to take the civil service exam. Competition in other departments may be fierce, but it is easier to pass the exam for some positions in villages."

He has sufficient academic qualifications and experience. As long as he is not afraid of hardship and is willing to work in a difficult place, it will not be difficult for him to pass the civil service examination.

"Okay, as long as you have your own plan. You can talk more with the village cadres in your spare time. If you need any help, just let me know."

Xiao Hai chuckled twice, touched his bald head, and said that he planned to stay in the village with the highest altitude for a night at the weekend.

"The conditions in that village should be the most difficult. Last time I had dinner with the village cadres, we talked about developing industries. I thought we could set up a snake farm."

When it comes to raising snakes, he is a serious expert, with his family background in this field to back him up.

"It's remote, but there's traffic. I wanted to make some money from tourism, but the conditions there aren't very good, and tourists rarely stay in their village. But I've seen that the climate and environment there are very suitable for snakes to grow. So setting up a snake farm and a workshop to make traditional wine to develop a specialty industry is a good way to go."

In addition to raising snakes, he thinks raising pheasants and guinea fowl there is also a way out.

Special breeding is now strictly controlled, but these villages have good innate conditions, and they have technical support from the Agricultural University. In addition, the villagers are more cooperative, and there is no complicated situation like in other large villages.

Of course, it is impossible for everyone to be of one mind anywhere, but these villages with relatively simple populations and simple folk customs have more advantages in carrying out collective collaborative entrepreneurship.

Like the village next to Xiaozhai Village, the whole village grows medicinal herbs and flowers, and runs a apiary, forming an industrial closed loop. The development has accelerated significantly in the past two years.

Xiaozhai Village relies on tourism and specialty agricultural products (peppercorns and walnuts) to start a business. Not to mention the small villas, at least the renovation and reconstruction of old houses have been basically completed in every household.

Old houses that have no owners are also managed by the village collective. After repair and renovation, they are operated as village collective inns, hiring villagers to work there. The income is put into the collective account, and preferential treatment and assistance are provided to the village's lonely and elderly people who receive the five guarantees.

The two villages further down the mountain have developed very well, making the village on the top of the mountain seem a bit weird.

Xiao Hai often goes to the village recently. On the one hand, he wants to learn and lay a foundation for his future work in the village. On the other hand, he also wants to help the villagers, just in case he hits the right path.

Chen Ying has been away for the past two years and hasn't really paid attention to the situation in the four villages.

After hearing what Xiao Hai said, I felt that he was very thoughtful.

Although the four villages are independent administrative entities, they have been helping each other since ancient times. If the gap is too large, problems may arise.

Professor Bai listened to their conversation and interrupted.

"It's not easy to do special breeding now, it's all due to the situation in the past few years."

"Yes, but fortunately, snake farming is relatively safe. In addition to ensuring the safety of the facilities, there is basically no risk of infectious diseases. However, farming pheasants and guinea fowl is very troublesome."

Bird flu is no small matter. If you are not careful, it can easily lead to the complete destruction of the entire army.

Moreover, many breeding operations now use intelligent management, and it is a bit difficult for villagers to master the latest breeding techniques.

"You can ask this question to a teacher in the research team."

Professor Bai gave me a suggestion.

"Among the team members going to Shennongjia this time, there is a teacher whose project is related to poultry farming. He is also the technical advisor for several chicken farms."

Chen Ying looked up at Professor Bai in surprise. Isn’t this gap a little too big?
"Why? His research on poultry is his profession, and raising poultry is his business expansion. Researchers also need to eat."

That's true, especially when it comes to special poultry farming, it's really hard to raise them well if you don't have the relevant knowledge.

Except for the old man who raised the "Phoenix", he was born with the holy body for raising birds!

"Okay, I'll go find that professor this time to learn about the breeding of pheasants and guinea fowls, or see if the teacher has any other suggestions."

"Actually, what I said is that raising golden pheasants is a good idea."

Professor Bai patted his thigh and said, "There are already many golden pheasants on our mountain. Besides, we have professionals from the Bird Research Institute who can provide guidance. It is also convenient to buy vaccines if we need them."

Chen Ying and Xiao Hai looked at each other.

It is possible, but they are not sure if those bird-loving guys will stop them from selling them if they raise them!
