Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 500: Awkward, it's today's Jiamugou
"They couldn't have gotten out so quickly, but they made it in time. This year we need to set an example and crack down on illegal activities such as carrying guns without a license and poaching and logging. They crossed two lines, and luckily it didn't cause any serious consequences, otherwise they would have been in prison for more than five years."

Everyone's focus began to shift and they started chatting about industry gossip.

Chen Ying had not spent much time in the Northeast and did not know much about it. After listening to them talking for a long time, he could not make any sense.

Someone happened to be going to the city, so Chen Ying simply hitchhiked to the market there and bought some local specialties to bring back.

The big market here is held every 258 days. Once you get there, the steaming scene makes you feel warm even before you eat.

In the past two years, there has been a lot of tourism in Northeast China. Many young people from the south have gone to the north to celebrate the New Year.

Although it is already spring, there are still many people traveling during off-peak hours. It is obvious from their clothes that many of them come from other places.

Chen Ying had been here several times with the park staff, and the novelty had worn off a lot.

This time he planned to buy some local specialties, and those foods with a short shelf life, he would vacuum-pack them and send them back directly.

The yellow rice cake is Chen Ying's favorite, followed by fried cakes and vegetable rice rolls.

The two of them came out of the park and went straight to the market to find food. After they had eaten their fill, they leisurely went shopping.

Chen Ying bought some mountain products, which were not too expensive, but were rarely sold in the south. If one bought them online, it depended on luck as to what one received.

Walk to the far right and turn a corner, and you will see a place that sells livestock, poultry, cats and dogs.

Chen Ying took a look at the chicken section and saw several hybrid chickens that looked quite lively.

The chickens sold here are all chicks, at most chicks less than one month old. You can take them home and raise them for half a year or a year before you can eat them.

Chen Ying thought about it and pulled her friend who came with her.

"Are you buying it for Leopard? We have it in our park, and we distribute it uniformly."

"I think this chick is good. The place next to the leopard has always been empty. I can buy it and raise it there. It can catch food by itself later. Or I can raise it and when it grows up a little, it can learn to hunt."

The mother leopard's body will definitely not be able to return to the wild within a year, and its cubs will have to live with it in the tiger and leopard park.

If the leopard cubs are fed by humans from a young age, it will not be good for their growth. Although these chicks are not as good as wild animals in training the leopard cubs' hunting skills, they are better than eating fixed food.

The Tiger and Leopard Park must have considered releasing live chickens, rabbits, and even lambs, but Chen Ying felt that she was leaving soon and might not come back, so she wanted to prepare a gift for the leopard children in advance. Free-range chicks would be fine, and they would come in handy when they grow up.

The chicks were not expensive, so Chen Ying called the park office. After they agreed, he spent one thousand yuan to buy the chicks and rabbits and asked the boss to transport them to the park.

He also paid for the necessary feed and other things.

After dealing with the matter, when the two of them were preparing to go back with their bags, someone stopped him and asked him if he wanted a dog.

"Boss, you bought so many chicks and rabbits, you must be doing animal husbandry. The puppies of my dog ​​are very useful. Its mother is responsible for watching over the chickens and chasing away the ducks, so she has a good foundation for family education. Take a look at it, I don't want more, 80 yuan for a dog."

Chen Ying took a look and saw that in the iron cage, the mother dog was holding five puppies in her arms, some yellow and some black.

The mother dog is a yellow dog, so the father dog’s fur color is probably darker.

Chen Ying has two Tibetan mastiffs and three Labrador retrievers in Heyuan. In Jiamugou, there are also Duoduo and several other little guys who come over for a stroll from time to time. She has no shortage of dogs at all.

Besides, he has to take a plane to go back, and bringing a puppy all the way here is like selling tofu for the price of meat.

After refusing the dog owner's attempt to sell them, the two men squeezed their way out. Suddenly, someone shouted in panic that a yellow fox was biting someone.

The yellow weasel is the yellow weasel, whose scientific name is Mustela tangata.

Chen Ying looked through the crowd and saw that four or five weasels suddenly appeared on the outskirts of the open space, frantically chasing an elderly man in a fur coat.

In the Northeast, weasels are nicknamed Huang Daxian. Most people would not take the initiative to provoke such evil little animals. Moreover, they are now animals with status and status, three haves! Do you understand? They are on the protection list!

However, even if the three conditions are met, if an intentional injury occurs, the consequences of being beaten to death or injured will be borne by the person himself.

Chen Ying pulled his friend and squeezed through the crowd, and just as the old man was swinging a carrying pole to hit the weasel to death, he stopped him in time.

"Uncle, you can't hit them. They are protected animals."

"Protection is a bummer! These yellow foxes have been chasing me for days. Most of my chickens and ducks have been killed. I didn't care about them at all, but they actually chased me here. I must kill them."

Chen Ying quickly signaled to his companions to comfort the old man, while he went over to "negotiate" with the group of little guys.

Don't take legends seriously. It is true that little guys like weasels are ferocious, but most of the more vague legends are just people's imagination.

Chen Ying took out a killed and skinned rabbit from the bag he was carrying. He had asked the boss to cut it into four pieces, and it came in handy now.

He threw the rabbit to the group of little guys. He didn't get too close to them. After careful observation, he found that one of the weasels seemed to have a very obvious food bag.

Generally speaking, a lactating mother will not be too far away from her cubs. Moreover, the lactation period of a yellow weasel is only about 45 days, and the cubs will not open their eyes until they are 30 days old, and then their growth rate will accelerate. A cub born in April can live independently in August.

"Uncle, do you live nearby? Why would these weasels chase you to the market?"

"His home is right in front of the forest farm. It only takes about 20 minutes to walk there."

A familiar person answered Chen Ying's question quickly, and then looked at him eagerly, as if urging him to continue asking.

Chen Ying couldn't handle this.

He smiled and was about to ask another question when a child about 15 or 16 years old came running over, shouting "Grandpa" loudly, pushing through the crowd and rushing towards the old man. The child was wearing a fur hat on his head.

Chen Ying was no longer able to ask any more questions. What else could he ask? It was obvious that this suckling weasel cub had already become a fur hat on the old man's grandson's head.

Chen Ying's gaze shifted from the child's hat to the old man. The old man seemed to understand something and subconsciously hugged his child tightly.

Some smart people guessed something from the changes in Chen Ying and the old man's expressions. In addition, in the Northeast, there are many people who firmly believe in the legend of Wong Tai Sin. Someone took out his mobile phone and made a call at that time.

Chen Ying borrowed a large iron cage from a dog vendor at the market, and persuaded the group of weasels to go inside. Then, with the help of the police who came to maintain order, he loaded the cage of weasels into a truck, preparing to move them to another place to live.

I have to change it. The hatred for killing my son will be hard to eliminate. If I leave these little things behind, either they will die or I will go crazy.

After such a commotion, Chen Ying and his companions did not continue to wander around. They drove the cage of weasels and went straight back to the office area of ​​the Tiger and Leopard Park.

When we arrived outside the office area, staff from the rescue station were already waiting there.

After taking photos and registering, they carried the cage into the woods, found a suitable place, and opened the cage door.

With a few whooshes, several adult weasels jumped far away in an instant, and the mother weasel without her cub turned her head to look at Chen Ying, and after a while, she turned around and left.

"Doctor Chen, let's go, these little guys should be able to live quite well here." After all, this is the Tiger and Leopard Park protected area, and apart from threats in the food chain, they should not face any threats from humans.

Back to the female leopard, who was enjoying a massage, glanced at Chen Ying, suddenly sniffed, and let out a low growl in disgust.

Most mustelids have a strong body odor, especially their glands. Once they open up, it's very intoxicating.

Chen Ying was going to leave and had told Leopard before.

Leopard likes Chen Ying very much, but not to the point of being so clingy to her that he can’t bear to be apart from her.

As for wild animals, the word "solitary" has been engraved in their genes for many years, so a temporary happiness in getting along will not hinder the happiness of breaking up.

Chen Ying continued to chatter to it about the chicks and rabbits she had bought.

"They are kept outside the venue next door. When you want to eat them, have someone open the door, go in and choose the ones you like. Don't kill them all at once. You can't eat that much. Besides, they are still small now, so there is not much meat. When they grow up slowly, they will have more meat and taste better. You can also use them as targets for your children to practice hunting."

I touched the leopard's belly and could already feel the fetal movement.

The leopard lay on its back, revealing its round belly for Chen Ying to touch, with a smile on its face.

"You must take good care of your health and take good care of your cub. If we are destined to meet again, maybe we can meet again in the future."

When these animals are released, a biochip will be implanted under their skin so that their identity can be confirmed during emergency rescue.

Our tiger and leopard park has cooperation with neighboring Russia in its research, especially on cross-border animals, and both sides share what they have and what they need.

For example, the Russian side was informed of the leopard's rescue. If Chen Ying had not confirmed that there was no problem with his treatment, the Russian side would have suggested sending experts to assist in the treatment.

As for the leopard cubs, they may return to the coastal areas to continue living when they grow up.

The healing effect of Lame Tiger is even more obvious.

It used to walk on three legs with its injured leg hanging, but now it can walk on all fours, but when it runs, its injured leg will occasionally twitch.

Chen Ying examined it and found that it was a post-operative complication and a complete recovery was impossible, but with continued treatment, he would have no problem walking, jogging and playing with his companions.

Captive tigers do not need to be hunted at a very high intensity.

For example, if you want to catch a live chicken or duck, a jumping rabbit or a lamb, there will be no problem. You don't even have to run. You can just walk over and bite it to death.

The owner of the chicken farm delivered the chicks very quickly and also helped to send some little rabbits as well.

There is a place in the park to feed these "foods". You can just register and accept them.

All poultry and livestock that can be sold in the market have quarantine certificates. After being delivered, they are fed individually and only fed to the animals after being confirmed to be in good condition.

These things are already done well, so Chen Ying is not worried at all.

Soon the day came when he was supposed to leave.

He got up early to say hello to the leopard, touched a few little leopards through their bellies and said goodbye, then went to the tiger park. Dongsheng and Dahu were still resting, and when they saw Chen Ying coming, Dongsheng yawned loudly, stayed with Chen Ying for a while, and watched him leave.

After a day of hard work, we finally returned to Jiamugou in the afternoon of the next day.

The car was parked at the parking lot of the Jiamugou Management Station as usual. Chen Ying came out to say hello to a few familiar staff members, divided the gifts he brought among them, and then prepared to go into the mountains with his bag on his back.

"Brother Ying, wait a minute." A young man poked his head out of the window of the office on the second floor and called Chen Ying. "The subsidy for your first aid station this quarter has been sent to us. The stationmaster asked whether you want to exchange it all for supplies or transfer the money to your account."

“How do our subsidies get to you?”

"No, it's a donation subsidy from a foundation. Starting this year, it will be given every quarter. Because the main account on your side is the shelter and rescue center, but you know, they don't want to let your superiors handle it. So they just merged it with ours, but when signing the agreement, it was separately noted which of the funds were for you."

After giving Chen Ying a copy of the agreement that had been copied in advance, the young man took him to the warehouse to count the items.

"Oh, by the way, these were bought by the girl from the foundation specifically for Jin Ya and Xiao Jin. They didn't use any official money. They said that they were gifts for Jin Ya and Xiao Jin with the money they pooled together privately."

Chen Ying curiously opened the box and took a look. There were everything from small clothes to toys to canned snacks.

Although it is not recommended to feed freeze-dried food to wild animals, it is okay to eat it occasionally.

But the clothes are really impossible to wear. Which wild cat wears clothes?

Chen Ying took all the stuff away. She couldn’t wear it, but she managed to put it on to take a photo and then send it to those kind girls as a souvenir.

"By the way, Brother Ying, the big monkey has almost recovered. The stationmaster asked when we will send it back to the zoo?"

"Contact the park management and ask them to pick you up themselves."

Having said that, Chen Ying turned around, put the things down, and went to see Uncle Hu first.

The weather outside is still a bit cold, which is not very friendly to the elderly tiger. Uncle Tiger still has to stay here for a while, and it will be almost time to go back to the first aid station after the May Day holiday.

When he passed by, Uncle Tiger was sleeping soundly, with the unique snoring sound of cats coming from his throat.

Only in such an environment where the sense of security is fully realized will big cats make such comfortable sounds.

In the indoor tree, the gray leaf monkey is peeling fruit and eating it seriously.

Seeing Chen Ying coming, the gray leaf monkey ran towards him with the peeled fruit and handed it to him with an attentive expression on its face.

Chen Ying took the fruit, peeled it in a few seconds, and stuffed it into the monkey's mouth.

Seeing it happily eating the fruit, Chen Ying gave it a check-up.

"It should be fine. It will take just two days. Please notify the park to handle the formalities. You can pick me up anytime."

He took two steps and suddenly asked about the current situation of the gray leaf monkeys that he had taken back earlier.

"I heard it's pretty good. The zoo is taking good care of the monkeys. Because of what happened last time, many locals went to see the monkeys. It became a little popular online for a while. Now, the traffic is still pretty good. I heard the zoo has even started a 24-hour live broadcast for the monkey house."

In this traffic society, even monkeys have to work all night.

Finally returning to the first aid station, Chen Ying dropped his backpack, stood in the middle of the woods with his hands on his hips and shouted, "Kids, I'm back!"

All around, the breeze was gentle and quiet, with only the leaves swirling in the breeze and slowly falling.
