Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 492 A call for help from the Far East, Leopard Mom: I don’t want to lose my child
Whether you cover it up or not, human life matters.

The boat headed directly towards the offshore fishing spot. On the way, the coast guard comrades explained the general situation to Chen Ying.

"It was like this. The boat was taking people out to sea for night fishing. During the fishing process, two fishing tourists had an argument and actually started fighting on the boat. The boat didn't capsize, but the two people fighting and another fishing tourist were affected and fell into the sea together.

The fishing boat owner and his son immediately jumped in to retrieve the people. They rescued one, but the other two disappeared.”

"How long was it between the fall into the sea and the rescue? How come we didn't see anyone so quickly? Did they wear life jackets?"

“Yes. Other fishing tourists also testified that everyone wore it. After the boat owner and his son jumped overboard, they immediately went to the fisherman who was affected. With the help of others, they pulled him onto the boat. The boat owner’s son went down to look for him, but his vision was obstructed and he didn’t find him.”

There are many people fishing at night in this area. If something happens, the bosses around will come and help find people.

Just as they were talking, a voice came over the intercom saying that another one had been found on the water in the southwest direction.

The man must have had some swimming skills. He was wearing a life jacket and floating on the water with his limbs spread out. But when he was rescued, he was still in a shallow coma.

"We have detected a group of whales moving around 20 miles from the accident site. You..."

To be honest, the coast guard who came to pick up Chen Ying wondered if his superior had something wrong with his brain.

Shouldn't we call a rescue team? Why call a veterinarian? Do you really think he is the reincarnation of the Dragon King? It would be better to just pray to God and see if Mazu will show up.

But despite all the complaints, Chen Ying was still sent to the location of the whale group.

After arriving, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do next.

"Should I call them? Well, what should I call them? Whale, Baby, Fish?"

good question!
In the end, the baby killer whale solved the problem by himself.

It was bored and played around because it couldn't sleep, and then it found a great toy in the water!

The baby was a good boy, so he imitated his older brothers and sisters and floated to the surface of the water while biting the toy.

Next, when it was about to take its new toy to show off to the Twolegs, it seemed to smell the scent of the Twolegs.

Don’t go into the details of whether whales can smell humans. As long as great people can appear, it’s normal to have some more supernatural powers.

Anyway, the baby killer whale rushed towards Chen Ying.

It showed Chen Ying what was in its mouth. Its smug look made Chen Ying want to confiscate it again.

Ah! Are you a devil?
Seeing that his newly found toy was taken away by the two-legged beast again, the baby whale was not happy and started to throw a tantrum and roll around, jumping and tumbling like a dying fish.

It's just that this fish is a bit big.

The toy that Chen Ying took away was a giant clam, which was a bit oversized. Normal giant clams are about 40 centimeters long, and only large giant clams can reach a meter in length, but this giant clam is more than centimeters long and its color is particularly bright.

Chen Ying took a look and handed it to the coast guard comrade and asked him to hold it. Then he lay down and communicated with the baby killer whale about rescuing people.

Hey, there's a Twoleg in the water? Great, it likes to play hide-and-seek with Twolegs, it will definitely find it!
The young killer whale rushed towards the accident scene with great momentum, and behind it, two adult killer whales followed silently.

"Come on, let's go over there and see if we can help."

When we were approaching the accident site, we saw dazzling lights from a distance. The rescue team's boat had arrived, and the fishery patrol boat also stopped to help.

Xiao Fang, the police officer on Chen Ying's ship, reported the situation to his superior. After learning that three killer whales were also helping in the search, there was an eerie silence in the channel for a while.

Half an hour later, another rescue ship arrived with specialized search and rescue divers and search and rescue equipment.

Chen Ying felt very strange. With so many people around and the rescue being timely, how come they couldn't find that person?
The best thing for non-rescuers to do is to avoid causing trouble.

This is where the Qiao family lives, but the Qiao family is engaged in commercial real estate and cultural tourism-related businesses. Unlike the Dao family, they do not have their own rescue team.

Besides, the local area is built into a tourist city and is close to the sea, so the official rescue force is sufficient and there is no need for private capital to intervene.

That kind of public welfare rescue team exists to make up for the lack of official rescue forces. It does not involve the control of private capital, and the official authorities trust them more.

The first group of people who went into the sea to rescue returned to the boat to rest.

Although it seems like they are just swimming a few laps in the water to look for people, it actually consumes a lot of physical energy. The light under the sea is poor and the search range is relatively narrow. They must cooperate with each other to try their best to not miss any place where a human body may be hiding.

Just as Chen Ying and the others were becoming more and more anxious, something seemed to be hitting their boat.

Chen Ying lowered his head sharply and looked to the other side, where he saw a sea turtle looking at him in a silly manner.

After making sure that Chen Ying had spotted it, the turtle turned around and swam away. After walking a few meters, it turned back to look at Chen Ying.

"Let's go, Xiao Fang. It looks like this turtle wants to take us somewhere."

Xiao Fang was stunned and subconsciously reported first. The leader on the opposite side told him to follow Chen Ying's arrangements and then he didn't say anything else. The background noise seemed very noisy.

Chen Ying shone the light on the turtle and asked Xiao Fang to follow in the boat.

After walking for more than ten minutes, they approached a small rocky island.

The island is underwater most of the time, with parts of the reefs only exposed at low tide.

"Brother Ying, there seems to be someone over there!"

Dao Meihua was also using the light to shine, and her sharp eyes spotted a little orange and a reflective strip.

"Oh my God, it can't be the missing victim."

Xiao Fang was also excited and quickly sped up to get closer. He then discovered a huge sea turtle lying on the reef. A human with his upper body wrapped in a life jacket was lying on its back, with the area below his thighs submerged in water.

"How do I get closer?"

Xiao Fang's skills were average, and Chen Ying had never driven a boat before, so in the end they could only ask Dao Meihua to steady the boat. The two of them put on life jackets and swimming rings, jumped into the water, and swam over to check the situation.

They had already notified the rescue team before going into the water, and they estimated that a boat would come to pick them up in a few minutes.

Chen Ying swam a few meters with difficulty, and then his body became lighter and he was gently carried up by the turtle leading the way. However, Xiao Fang was not so lucky and had to swim over by himself. When they got close to the reef island, they found that the place where the big turtle carrying the victim was lying was a sloping reef, and there were also reefs under the water around, but they were a little far from the water surface and could not be stepped on.

It can be seen that the turtle has tried very hard to get stuck on the reef, for fear that the person on its back would not be able to stay down and fall into the water.

Xiao Fang and Chen Ying held onto the rocks on the left and right, and with their other hands they grabbed the clothes of the person who fell into the water to prevent him from slipping.

Given the situation and the position, they were unable to get him on board for emergency treatment.

"Xiao Fang, how about you try to get the boat closer, then you get on board, and Guigui and I will carry him to the side of the boat, and then try to pull him on board. We can't just wait like this, we can't see how he's doing now, and his temperature is already very low, if he continues to soak in the water, he might get hypothermia."

Xiao Fang gritted his teeth, let go and swam towards the boat.

Without Xiao Fang pushing him from the other side, the man's body slipped into the water again. Chen Ying could only grab the clothes on his shoulders tightly and pull him towards her.

At this time, the turtle that led the way cleverly ran to the side of the big turtle and helped lift the man's legs out of the water using its carapace.

Although this posture is a little difficult to maintain, one can tell at a glance that he is trying to help.

Xiao Fang moved the boat closer, jumped into the water, and prepared to pull the people onto the boat with Chen Ying.

But neither of them had received any water rescue training, and after struggling for a long time, their life jackets were almost knocked off, and the people were not pushed onto the boat yet.

Just then, the rescue boat came over.

Three rescue team members jumped into the water from a few meters away and came over to take the body of the person who fell into the water. Three of them were in the water and two were in the boat. It took two or three minutes to finally drag the person onto the boat.

After the rescue team got on the boat, they immediately checked the condition of the person who fell into the water, and the team member responsible for driving the boat drove directly to the shore at maximum horsepower.

Chen Ying and Xiao Fang floated in the water to rest for a while, then helped each other and climbed onto the coast guard's speedboat.

Chen Ying lay on the side of the boat and reached out to touch the heads and carapaces of the two turtles. After being rubbed quietly for a while, they sank into the water and swam away.

When the boat was halfway through the journey, three little killer whales swam over.

The baby killer whale looked at Chen Ying aggrievedly, and even poked its big head out to want to be touched.

Chen Ying held it and stroked it hard several times, then returned the giant clam to it. The baby killer whale happily flicked its tail and followed its brother and sister back.

When they returned to the shore, the last man rescued from the water had already been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

I heard from the rescue team that the chances of rescuing him were slim. When they found the man, his heart had almost stopped beating.

It’s a pity that turtles can’t speak, otherwise they would all like to know why turtles would carry people to such a far place and know to ask other turtles to find people.

The boat owner who organized the night fishing was arrested. With someone killed, sea fishing will definitely be restricted. The fishermen who make money from this are not happy.

Fortunately, Aaron's family does not run a sea fishing business. He is a diving instructor and his father drives a boat for the Qiao family. The money he earns is not much, but it is stable.

For the next three or four days, Chen Ying did not go to the beach again, and even rarely went back to the hotel, because the condition of the baby tarsier with eye problems had worsened a bit.

"It must undergo surgery. Its eyelid infection is serious. Today, the purulent discharge has increased. If it is not treated in time, it will be life-threatening."

The veterinary station at Qiaojia Zoo did not have equipment for eye surgery. Finally, Chen Ying contacted the Wildlife Conservation Office here, and they coordinated with the ophthalmology department of a human hospital to complete the operation at night when no one was around.

"It should be that the mother monkey accidentally scratched it when she was carrying it around. Generally speaking, wild animals have strong self-healing abilities, but this little monkey was particularly unlucky. In addition, they had just changed their environment, and the mother monkey was too vigilant and held it in her arms for a long time. The temperature and humidity nurtured the reproduction of bacteria, which led to such a serious infection."

After explaining the situation to the breeder who accompanied her during the operation, Chen Ying asked the ophthalmologist to prescribe some eye drops for babies.

For each type of medicine, Chen Ying carefully wrote down the usage, dilution amount and time of use.

"You just need to work hard for the next two days and take care of the baby monkey separately. You can release it back when it is fully recovered."

The baby monkey is very smart. After getting familiar with the smell of the keeper, it is willing to hide on the keeper.

Chen Ying and the keeper worked together, following the online tutorial, to sew a small nest that the little monkey can carry with them. The main body of the nest is woven with young branches, and a simple noose is made on the outside with cloth straps to fix the nest on the body. Fresh leaves are placed inside the nest to create a natural atmosphere so that the little monkey can sleep in it.

Being a keeper is a hard job. You are responsible for cleaning the indoor and outdoor areas, preparing food and water, and paying attention to the ambient temperature and the activities of the animals.

Especially this group of tarsiers like to start moving around at around eight or nine in the evening, and go back to sleep at around five in the morning. They basically cannot leave people all night, and we have to check the surveillance every hour or so to see how they are doing.

The monkeys sleep during the day and the keepers have other work to do, so they can only rest for an hour or two in the afternoon.

He has been keeping this nest with him because he is afraid that frequent changes of people taking care of it will prevent the timid and poorly healthy little monkey from resting peacefully.

After one week, all the animals had adapted to the new environment.

The Qiao family hired two veterinarians and a nurse to be in charge of the terrestrial animal museum at a large expense.

Chen Ying is not a full-time veterinarian at the zoo. He has only agreed to be a veterinary consultant for the zoo. He will only help when the full-time veterinarians are unable to solve a problem.

After finishing things here, he and Dao Meihua were planning to take a self-driving tour along the southeast coast to experience what was talked about on the Internet as the most beautiful coastal road. However, before they set off, they received a call for help from the Northeast Tiger and Leopard Park.

"The Far Eastern leopard was a female leopard. It was bitten by a Siberian tiger and had fractures in both hind legs to varying degrees. Most importantly, its tail vertebrae were also broken. We found that it seemed to be pregnant, and now we are barely sure that there are three fetuses in the womb."

Chen Ying turned on the computer and looked at the bone images sent to her. It could be said that the hind limbs were in a mess.

If she has to undergo surgery, she might not be able to save the baby in her belly.

Moreover, because there are too many bone fragments, orthopedic surgeons with average skills find it difficult to perform this operation.

Because they had worked together before, the leaders of Tiger and Leopard Park knew that Chen Ying performed surgeries very well. What was even more rare was that he had studied under a leading figure in Chinese orthopedics.

For an operation that is difficult for others, the success rate can be increased by 30% in his hands.

"Our biggest appeal now is to save the fetus in her belly. The Far Eastern leopard is so rare and precious. According to the latest survey statistics, the number of this group in the wild has never exceeded 100. It is now the largest in my country and is listed as a critically endangered (CR) species on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species."

The loss of any leopard, even an embryo, is a pain in the hearts of Far Eastern leopard researchers and protectors.
