Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 451 Are You Sure You Didn’t Steal It?
Chen Ying and Da Wang divided into two teams according to the original plan to carry out the observation mission.

Dao Meihua came on the morning of the third day.

"I checked the video surveillance and the little civet is doing fine. It can eat and sleep well. The owner of the villa also knows a little about caring for wild animals, so there shouldn't be any problems."

She put down her backpack and set up a small tent next to Chen Ying's tent while talking to him about the cat bed and feeding wild animals.

"Did the king and the others find anything over there?"

"No, I just contacted you via intercom this morning."

Chen Ying ate the steamed bun with smoked meat in it and handed the phone to Dao Meihua.

"This is the scene of monkey activities I took yesterday and today. After a quick look, one of the monkey groups should be moving back and forth between here and the small waterfall. The other monkey group also goes out in the morning and evening, but I don't know where they go. This area should be where they rest during the day and spend the night at night."

According to current investigations, there are eight groups of more than 1200 golden monkeys in the entire Shenlongjia area.

Chen Ying estimated that the two small monkey groups here should belong to a large group, with a total of 60 to 70 monkeys. It was just unknown why they were together during the day and night, but foraged separately in the morning and evening.

Not long after Dao Meihua arrived, Xiaobai came out from the bushes.

It had something in its mouth. When it saw Dao Meihua coming, it seemed to be stunned for a moment, then walked around her, came to Chen Ying, and spit the food in its mouth onto his legs.

"Scratch, scratch, what is this?"

Chen Ying was so frightened that she almost dropped the steamed bun in her hand.

A little snow-white squirrel lay on his lap, breathing weakly.

It was unexpected. Really unexpected.

He came to investigate albino golden monkeys, but he missed the real target and found white bears and white squirrels instead.

(There are no photos of baby squirrels, so just make do with that)

The little squirrel looked like it was only two days old and was still a chubby ball.

"Xiaobai, it's so small, how could you steal it? Send it back quickly."

Xiaobai shook his head, then ran to the tree and turned over the grass leaves, climbed up for a while, leaned back, and fell down.

Chen Ying understood what it meant. This little squirrel was abandoned by its parents!

But he really didn't know how to feed the little squirrel. The little guy was so weak that he was about to die in the next second.

"What should I do?" Chen Ying's forehead tensed up for once. "How about I send it back? Can you stay here alone?"

"Okay, no problem, just come back soon." Dao Meihua didn't act pretentiously at all. Instead, she helped Chen Ying put his cell phone and car keys into a small bag and then tied it around his waist.

"This is a new coat. You should be able to wear it. It's waterproof and windproof on the outside, and it has several inner pockets. Wrap it in a small towel and put it in the inner pocket on your chest. Be careful on the road."

Chen Ying didn't bother to be polite with her. She put on her clothes, put the little squirrel away and ran back.

On the way, I used the walkie-talkie to notify my boss and asked him to help call the rescue station to see if there were conditions to shelter and rescue the little squirrel. If not, I could only seek help from the research institute under the Forestry and Grassland Bureau.

There is a shelter and rescue center here, but it is a bit far away and the little squirrel might be dead by the time we get there.

By the time Chen Ying ran back to the inn, his lungs felt like they were about to explode and he was unable to speak for a long time.

At this time, the owner of the villa above ran down with a bag.

"I have a small bottle and milk powder that I used to prepare for the cat. Can I use them?"

Chen Ying didn't know if it would work, so she asked for help in the veterinary group. It would take another half an hour to wait for the rescuers notified by the Forestry and Grassland Bureau to arrive. During this time, it would be good to feed the little guy something to keep him alive.

Some people have actually raised pet squirrels and said that they can just feed them goat milk powder. If they don't have it, they can also feed them a small amount of yogurt. But if young mice eat too much yogurt, they will have flatulence, so if possible, it's best not to feed them that.

What the villa owner took down was pet goat milk powder, luckily it was still within the shelf life.

I fed it ten milliliters of milk from the small bottle, and the little guy was too tired to move.

After all, I have been hungry for a long time and it is impossible to eat a full meal in one go.

"Are they here?" After feeding the little squirrel, Chen Ying breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the little squirrel curled up and fell asleep.

"Here we are. We have already entered the mountain."

The two bosses probably didn’t take such good care of their own children back then. They were guarding the little squirrel’s temporary nest and were reluctant to leave.

When the people from the Forestry and Grassland Bureau came up to take the little squirrel away, they asked about the circumstances of how the little squirrel was found. They learned that it was brought back by a white cobra, and immediately thought that the snake had stolen the baby squirrel.

Chen Ying explained to them for a long time, but the two didn't believe it. Finally, after registering Chen Ying's work unit and ID number, they left half-believing and half-doubting. They also warned Chen Ying not to leave Shennongjia for the time being so that they could ask questions at any time.

"Doctor Chen, go do your work. I'll handle this." Stopping the innkeeper from explaining to the two, the villa owner patted Chen Ying on the chest and said, "I know Mr. Chen well. This matter is easy to resolve. Just do your work. We'll have a result tomorrow at the latest."

In fact, even if the other party doesn't stand up for him, Chen Ying has his own way to solve it.

After thanking the owner of the villa, Chen Ying took the remaining milk powder, bottles, and medical kit with her.

Xiaobai can pick up a baby squirrel, but who knows if he will pick up something else.

He rushed back to the observation point without stopping. Dao Meihua was taking pictures of monkeys on the opposite hill with her camera and didn't notice that he had returned.

Dao Meihua put down the camera and saw Chen Ying. She raised the corner of her mouth and tapped the camera lens, "Guess what I took a picture of."

“Did you take a photo of a white golden monkey?”

"It's a monkey, but I'm not sure if it's a golden monkey. It doesn't seem to have the blue face that is unique to golden monkeys."

He pulled up the photo and showed it to Chen Ying. Although it was only a profile picture, the snow-white fur all over the body and the group of monkeys playing around it all indicated that it was a monkey.

"It didn't move with the monkey group. When I saw it, it came here alone, then sat here without moving. After about half an hour, it left again."

There is a special team conducting research on golden snub-nosed monkeys. Chen Ying and his team came here simply to collect biological samples of the white animals. As for the grudges and hatreds within the monkey group, he doesn't understand and doesn't want to find out.

After talking to Da Wang and the others through the intercom, Chen Ying decided to go over and take a look. It would be even better if he could find the activity area of ​​the platinum snub-nosed monkeys.

But the terrain here is too complicated. Although it looks not far away, it takes at least an hour to go up and down.

These monkeys are very smart. They will take you in circles, and when you are brought to the foot of the mountain, they will go directly over the mountain, and you can only helplessly find a way back.

If you are unlucky, you may have to take a detour of several or even dozens of kilometers.

The area where the group of monkeys that Chen Ying and his team were observing was relatively open. As long as they crossed the small ravine below, they could reach the opposite hillside. If they were not lured into running around, they would basically not get lost.

Chen Ying set off right away with the medical kit. Dao Meihua stayed in the camp and watched his movements through a telescope.

The ravine below the slope is a very narrow stream. The water is about calf-deep and seven or eight meters wide. You can cross it by stepping on the stones in the middle.

After taking a few steps, Chen Ying turned around suddenly and saw a black shadow rushing towards his face.
