Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 450: The Occupied House, the Premature Mother, and the Broken Children
Chen Ying suddenly remembered the tarpaulin that he had let it watch over the corpse. Could it be that some other animal had gotten in there?
Chen Ying touched the white bear's head and neck, and found that it was indeed wet.

"I'll go over there. Something must have destroyed the site. White Bear knew we had to protect that place, so he came over to inform us."

Hearing what he said, the boss suddenly became bolder.

"Quick, go get some fruit cakes, anything, to fill our baby bear's stomach."

After he finished explaining, he pulled Chen Ying to stop him from leaving. "The road over there is slippery and dangerous, especially when it's raining lightly and there's a lot of moisture. It's too unsafe to go over there. Let's go after daybreak or when the rain stops."

He thought for a moment and added, "I don't know how long that guy has been sleeping in the open air. He probably doesn't care about this one night."

This made everyone not know how to respond.

But what he said was also true. It is very dangerous to climb the mountain in the middle of the night. You can't go there when you know something might happen.

Seeing the two-legged beast bringing out a basin of fruit, the white bear stood in the yard and watched for a while before cautiously approaching the stainless steel basin on the steps.

I sniffed and it was the smell of food.

The white bear sat down with his butt, crushing all the flowers and plants that the boss had carefully tended. The boss not only did not feel sorry for it, but was busy holding up a big umbrella for it.

The guests watched for a while, but couldn't resist the sleepiness and went back to their rooms.

The boss told the waiter to do what he was supposed to do, and he pulled a recliner over and fell asleep by the door.

Chen Ying was worried about White Bear being here alone, so he had no choice but to set up the tent on the corridor outside the lobby of the inn, with only a row of wooden railings separating it from Big Bear.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Chen Ying felt very heavy and smelled foul.

He struggled to stand up and took a look. He saw that the big white bear had half of its body arched into the tent, with its butt sticking out, and was sleeping soundly with its head resting on his feet.

He smiled helplessly, fell down and continued to sleep.

When it was almost dawn, the police car arrived. When they saw the situation at the tent, they were stunned for a moment.

Xiaobai slipped out of the tent, washed his head and tail in a dripping pot in the small garden, then climbed onto a chair nearby, used a pillowcase to soak up the water on his body, and then swam along the corridor to the grass on the side.

"Go and see if anyone is in trouble..."

Before he could finish his words, Chen Ying got up, and after desperately pushing the white bear out, he greeted the police comrades with dark circles under his eyes, then pulled the white bear's paws to let it wash its paws and prepare for breakfast.

Last night Chen Ying told the boss to steam some cornmeal buns with honey, as White Bear should like them. She also needs to prepare some sweet potatoes and fruits.

The white bear was pushed and shoved for a long time, but he didn't lose his temper at all. He washed his paws obediently, asked Chen Ying to help wipe his face, and then sat down obediently at the place where he had eaten last night, waiting to be fed.

While waiting, he looked at the police officers innocently and even tried to raise his paw to greet them...

"Oh my god, pinch me, I'm not awake yet, I saw the white bear greet me."

"Not only you, I saw it too. Oh my god, this bear is old enough to go to kindergarten."

At this time, the boss came back in a hurry from outside.

"I just went over to check. The cloth was still covered, but there must be something inside. I wonder if it was some small animals hiding from the rain."

He took a picture with his mobile phone, showed it to the police comrades, and asked the waiter to boil water and pour tea.

"No, we brought water. Let's park the car here first. We can only walk down."

"No problem. We have a few young men here if you need help."

"No need for that. Just go do what you need to do. We can handle these things ourselves."

After that, the policeman in charge called the boss aside, pointed at the white bear and asked what was going on.

"Hey, this polar bear is really smart. I have the surveillance footage from last night. I'll send it to you and you'll see."

While waiting for their colleagues to pack up the equipment, they watched the video and their teeth were exposed.

"This is a protected animal, please take good care of it, and don't do anything stupid. Also, please keep an eye on the guests staying at the hotel, because bear attacks are not just minor injuries."

"Okay, I know. When Teacher Chen and the others are done, I'll ask them to help me design a feeding area so as not to disturb other passengers and also allow them to take a look at our great treasure."

Chen Ying went over with the police comrades, but they were some distance apart. After all, there was such a big, cute (ferocious) animal (beast) beside him, and the others would still be afraid.

When we arrived at the place where the body was found, we saw that the tarpaulin had been torn away from its original position, but the bones were still under the tarpaulin.

However, not far from it, there was a small bulge that seemed to be moving.

Chen Ying let the white bear go into the forest first, and then he followed, using a stick to pry open a corner, revealing the small animals underneath. It turned out to be a litter of civet cats!

The mother civet seemed to have just given birth to her babies. When the tarpaulin was lifted, she stood up and hid the three babies under her body, with her fur puffed out to threaten humans not to approach.

Chen Ying didn't expect that this mother cat was so casual. When she was about to give birth, she didn't even look for a good place. She could just give birth anywhere?

This must have gone against the instincts of animals, so Chen Ying immediately judged that the nest chosen by the little civet mother was most likely occupied by other animals. Maybe they had a fight and lost, so they had to move overnight, and they couldn't hold on after arriving here.

It probably didn't know that the tarpaulin was going to be removed. When it was lifted and exposed to the outside, the mother cat let out a shrill cry.

Chen Ying promptly covered the civet cat family with her coat.

There was his scent on the clothes, and the mother civet's cry gradually became steady and her voice became much softer.

"That won't work. She must have just given birth and there's no way to find a suitable nest for the kittens."

Chen Ying felt a little regretful. If he had known this would happen, he should have insisted on coming to see Bai Xiong last night when he came to see him. Maybe he could have helped the mother civet cat find a suitable delivery room at that time.

"Now what?"

Several police officers had never encountered such a situation before and were in a dilemma.

"I'll try to pick it up. If I can carry it away, I'll take them back to the inn and settle them down. When the kittens are a little bigger, the mother cat will take them away."

This time, both the innkeeper and the owner of the holiday villa above came.

They also heard what Chen Ying said. The owner of the holiday villa took the initiative to say that his place was more spacious and there was a special place for raising cats in the back, which could be vacated for the civet family to live in first.

"They don't like cat beds. Civets like dry, dark and quiet environments. There are many guests at the villa, so I'm afraid it's not suitable."

"It's okay. There's an empty lot behind our villa with nothing built on it. Doctor Chen, tell me what you need and I'll have someone deliver it to them right away. I'll definitely give them a satisfactory home."

"Then, find a hollow tree hole, bury it halfway in the soil, and cover it up a bit. The entrance should be big enough for it to come in and out freely."

Chen Ying remembers that they also built two artificial cat nests in Jiamugou and placed them in the wild. He still has the customized pictures on his mobile phone.

Sending this to the innkeepers and asking them to worry about setting up the cat's nest, Chen Ying squatted down and prepared to take the civet family away first to make room for the on-site investigation.

With his clothes wrapped around him, the transfer process went smoothly.

It would take time to set up a cat bed at the villa. During this period, Chen Ying could only ask someone to prepare a cardboard box, then put her clothes in it, and then put the mother cat and three kittens in. Finally, she carried the cardboard box back to the guest room.

The box was temporarily placed under his bed, and a hole was dug next to it to make it easier for the mother cat to get in and out.

Fortunately, both the innkeeper and the villa owner like animals, and they have very strict requirements for the waiters of both families.

Chen Ying and the others had to hurry into the mountains, so the responsibility of taking care of the cat mom was given to Dao Meihua.

There was no other way. It was because the cat mother could not allow anyone to get close to her except him and Dao Meihua, not even to feed her.

And there are cruel precedents in the animal world. If a wild animal mother feels that she cannot protect her child, or if the child has a strange smell, she will eat the child.

In order to avoid this situation, Dao Meihua could only stay and serve as a feeding tool.

Fortunately, the owner of the villa was good at making money, and he found the tree hole that Chen Ying showed him in the afternoon.

Dao Meihua had also seen a video in Jiamugou on how to camouflage artificial nests. Under her guidance, the tree hole cat nest was perfectly integrated into the bushes. After being covered with dead branches and soil, it was impossible to tell that a nest of civet cats lived there without careful observation.

After placing it in, I let it spend a day and a night in nature, then put some soft grass leaves in there, and put Chen Ying's towel on the branches and grass leaves.

Forty-eight hours later, the civet family finally had a satisfactory and comfortable home.

Over the next few months, the kittens will grow up here, learn to live independently, and then leave their mother.

Since she had nothing to do anyway, Dao Meihua simply contacted her colleagues at the rescue station and helped the innkeeper design an area for feeding the animals.

Just five or six meters below the first floor of the inn, there is an area between two bushes, about a quarter the size of a basketball court.

Two drinking pools were built here using clay jars and stone troughs, and several wooden racks were made using dead branches and tree trunks from local materials. Racks were placed on top, on which bowls and plates containing bird food could be placed stably.

The other end was paved with gravel and pebbles to create two feeding areas for the animals. This made it easier to flush the site, as the water could seep directly into the ground without creating puddles of mud everywhere.

The two bosses also purchased a refrigerator separately to store food for the animals.

Of course, the animals are not fed every day. Only after heavy rain, in hot and humid weather, or in freezing and cold weather will the boss feed them to avoid the situation where they are unable to hunt and feed their cubs in extreme weather.
