Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 560: Cub, if you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune in the future
I fell asleep again in a daze. Fortunately, there were two heaters beside me, otherwise I would have caught a cold.

Chen Ying was dazzled by the sunlight. When he got up and took a look, he was almost frightened.

Bai Bingyang's big face was right in front of him, feeling extremely aggrieved.

He pushed Bai Bingyang away and escaped from the pincer attack of Sister Bao and Jin Ya, his clothes covered with Jin Ya's fallen hair.

"Old Chen, it's OK. I'll hold you in my arms. You'll feel so comfortable." Doctor Ou was examining several rescued animals on the second floor before releasing them. He waved his phone and said, "I've sent the photos to your wife. I'm afraid you'll have to kneel down to the keyboard tonight."

Dr. Ou is not a local, but from Guangxi, where he killed four chickens. He went to college in Sichuan, and later studied for his master's degree, got married, and had children here. His voice is a mix of Guangxi and western Sichuan Mandarin.

After the four chickens became popular online these days, the girls in the station always like to use this joke to tease Dr. Ou.

"I have no problem kneeling on the keyboard. Lately, not many people have asked you for four chickens, so I have to help you get some business."

After all the laughter and fun, Chen Ying helped put the rescued animals into cages and then released them separately at chosen locations.

It was not until after four in the afternoon that we finally sent all seven little guys away. Then we began to clean and disinfect the cages in preparation for the next batch of rescued animals to move in.

While having dinner, his brother-in-law called him on video.

In the video, two golden cats and clouded leopards wrapped like mummies were lying pitifully in a cage receiving intravenous drips, while a veterinarian from the Grand Canyon was busy running around nearby.

"It's out of danger now. The golden cat was lucky. Although it was hit on the lumbar vertebrae, it dodged in time. It was just a slipped lumbar vertebra, no fracture or anything like that. The bone-setting technique you taught me last time came in handy. The young man's technique was a little rusty, but he was careful and didn't cause any secondary damage to the golden cat. The X-ray results also look good. I've sent it to you. Take some time to take a look."

"No problem, big brother. I'll take a look right away." While speaking, Chen Ying went to the office on the first floor, turned on the computer, retrieved the file from the mailbox, clicked it and read it, then nodded.

"The recovery is fine, but you need to pay attention to the occurrence of edema in the future. You can use the prescription I left last time. Don't use too much the first time. If there is no problem, then gradually increase the dosage."

By the way, I also wrote a prescription for oral medicine for my brother-in-law, asking him to make it into pills and put it in food for Golden Cat to take.

The injuries of the other clouded leopard were common injuries that could be handled by the Dao family’s animal hospital, so Chen Ying did not ask too much.

"That's it. You told Meihua last time that the matter is almost settled. We can leave anytime in July. You can discuss with Meihua and set a date."

The two chatted about some other things casually. Chen Ying hung up the phone and returned to the dining table. She told Dr. Ou and Dr. Chen about the golden cat's injuries.

"I've saved the film on my desktop. I'll archive it when the time comes. It can help enrich our treatment database."

As they were talking, there was a sudden shaking that lasted for more than ten seconds, and the faces of Chen Ying and the others changed.

“Why was there no warning?”

"With such a strong shaking, it should be not far from us."

Fortunately, this problem was taken into consideration when the first aid station was rebuilt, and its earthquake resistance is good enough. Apart from the animals' panicked cries, no part of the station was damaged.

"Brother Ying, look at that mountain over there. There are so many birds!"

A black cloud rose in the sky over Baishashangzhai, and thousands of birds were circling in the air.

As soon as he finished speaking, the maintenance station called.

"An earthquake occurred 20 kilometers north of Baisha Shangzhai, and half of the mountain collapsed. The old houses in Shangzhai basically collapsed, and even the walls of several new houses near the road were cracked. I heard that three or four elderly people living in the old houses were buried. You should also be careful in the mountains. If possible, it is best to move out first."

It was impossible to move, but fortunately the aftershocks were not strong and the occasional tremors were not severe.

"The elderly in Shangzhai have been rescued, and there are a few injured, but no one has died. But the situation in Xiazhai is much worse, two-thirds of the houses have collapsed, and there is no water or electricity. The focus of disaster relief is currently on that side."

Earthquakes are common here. They feel uneasy if there aren't three or five earthquakes every year.

There are always people who ask why they didn't move away when they knew there would be an earthquake. Is it that easy to move? And their area is an earthquake zone, where can they move to? Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou or Shenzhen?
Since that devastating earthquake, local people have accumulated experience in dealing with earthquakes. Coupled with advances in technology, rescue speed is much faster than it was a decade ago.

Even so, one day later, Chen Ying also received a notice of assistance.

"There was a landslide over there, and even the river was cut off, forming a barrier lake upstream. The most important thing is that forest patrols confirmed some time ago that there were two pandas living there. Now the rescue of the village is being stepped up, but there is really no extra manpower to be transferred to the animals, so the province arranged for other management stations to draw personnel to form four teams to enter the earthquake center to check the situation."

The station chief explained, "We are taking a day off because we are worried about aftershocks. In addition, landslides and collapses may occur frequently in the mountain for a long time after the earthquake. Therefore, we will arrange drones and helicopters to patrol in advance and enter the epicenter area after confirming that the situation is stable."

Upon hearing that a giant panda might be trapped, Chen Ying became a little anxious. She didn't want to wait for the team to gather so she went into the mountains to investigate first.

But he had no say in this matter. After all, no matter how important the giant panda was, it was not more important than human life.

After Jin Ya and Leopard Sister heard about this, they volunteered to go over and help. They thought humans were too slow and did not even plan to bring Chen Ying along.

Sister Leopard’s words of disdain were deafening!
"Why are you going with them? Just stay with the white-haired guy to take care of the cubs. You are not needed for this."

"Why can't you use me? If someone gets hurt, I can still help treat him, right?"

Sister Leopard glanced at him, not wanting to say anything more to him. She growled and leaped out first. Then the cats in the station followed one after another, except for the useless Bai Bingyang who stayed behind and looked at him innocently.

The little monkey baby and little Taobao were playing on Bai Bingyang's body. When they saw the soft aunt looking at the two-legged beast, they also looked over with their big watery eyes and made a clipping sound with excessive sugar content.

"Meow, do you want to play with us?"

Chen Ying poked Little Taobao on the forehead with her finger and said, "Go play with your stupid Fourth Aunt."

It's a pity that Lao Gao hasn't been here for the past two years, otherwise we could have developed an "air force" to help investigate. This kind of thing is more convenient to do with wings.

Sister Leopard and her friends were very fast. They walked all night and arrived at the epicenter of the collapse in the early morning of the next day.

Half of the mountain slid down, destroying countless trees along the way. Countless animals’ homes and even lives were buried under the rocks.

"Oh, Sister Bao, how do I find this?"

Jin Ya was stunned. All she saw was a khaki color, tightly packed together. If she really hadn't escaped, what she would have dug out would have been a bear biscuit, right?
Sister Leopard walked closer and sniffed carefully, trying to distinguish the scent in the woods.

However, the smoke, dust and dirt were too heavy, and even if it had a strong sense of smell, it would not be able to smell anything.

"Let's split up and look around. Maybe they're lucky enough not to be trapped underneath."

In addition to the collapsed mountain here, there are also fallen trees and rolling rocks due to the earthquake on the opposite side, and danger may come at any time.

"Be careful when you look for them. Also, those trees and rocks may be loose, so don't jump on them unnecessarily."

"Hey, you should be careful too." Brother Leopard rubbed his wife's cheek and ran to the most dangerous place first.

Sister Leopard knew that it was afraid of taking risks, so she stopped and watched for a while before trotting to the other side. Jin Ya and Xiao Jin looked at each other, and imitated Brother Leopard's tone, raised her paw and patted Xiao Jin's paw, "You have to be careful, don't climb the tree, just walk around under the tree."

Xiao Jin was worried about Jin Ya and wanted to go with it, but he could see that Jin Ya would not agree, so he nodded and said, "I'll go to the other side to take a look. I'll leave this to you."

They dispersed, and soon, Da Jin and the crazy rolling beast also heard the news and rushed here.

They knew each other but were not familiar with each other, and there was no exchange of pleasantries. They each chose a direction and started searching.

After all, it is more appropriate for a cat to find a cat.

After rolling around like crazy for a while, he smelled the scent of a female panda near a big tree.

Although the scent was already very faint, it still couldn't escape its nose.

With a grin on his face, he rolled madly, leaving his mark on the same tree, and continued searching following the scent.

There is a saying that if you want to find a cat in the city, look for its three-colored cats; if you want to find a cat in the mountains, look for its flowered arms.

The creature called "Huabi" on this mountain is naturally the leopard cat.

These little guys are agile, quick to react and very adaptable.

It was rarely seen in the mountains in the early years, but with good protection in recent years, it is no longer a rare animal.

Sister Bao and Jin Ya thought of the same thing, and while they were investigating carefully, they were also keeping an eye out for traces of the leopard cat.

Jin Ya was luckier and found a young leopard cat that was fat and strong first.

"Black and white bear? I know. They should be fine. They are in a cave on the mountain over here. But the black and white bear is with its cubs. I haven't seen them come out for the past two days."

One is a vegetarian and the other is a mouse eater. There is no competition at all, so the leopard cat openly takes Jin Ya to find the black and white bear.

Don't get too close to the place. If everything is peaceful, then nothing can happen. But if you get too close, you're just asking for trouble.

Jin Ya didn't get too close. When it was still about ten or twenty meters away, it made a short call, asking if the black and white bear was still alive.

After asking several times without any response, Jin Ya could not help but walk forward a few meters, then hesitated and took a few steps back. After going back and forth for a long time, she finally made up her mind to go over and take a look.

However, when they looked over, they didn't see the mother bear, only a half-grown black and white bear lying in the cave with no signs of movement.

But Jin Ya was frightened. She let out several short cries in succession and tentatively stretched out her claws to poke it, but the black and white bear's body was soft and there was still no reaction.

Oh no!

Jin Ya suddenly became nervous and turned to look at the leopard cat that had not left yet.

"Little guy, keep an eye on it. I'll go find a two-legged beast to rescue it."

The spotted-armed leopard cat then approached and took a sneak peek. He was shocked, "My ancestor, why doesn't he even say a word? Is he dead?"

Just as Jin Ya was about to run back, she saw Xiao Jin and Sister Bao coming towards her.

When they heard Jinya's cry, they thought something had happened and hurried over.

"There's a half-grown cub, and there's no sound at all." Jin Ya was really panicked.

Xiao Jin took a closer look, then went in to sniff the lower half of the giant panda. After confirming that it was sick and unconscious, he hurried out.

"We must let the Twolegs come over. I'm fast. I'll go back."

After saying that, Xiao Jin ran towards home, leaving Jin Ya and Sister Bao to guard here.

They don't know where the mother panda has gone, nor do they know if there are other ferocious beasts around. If they are found by other carnivores, the cubs will be dead.

Chen Ying and the others also made quick preparations after Sister Jin Yabao left, and set off before dawn this morning.

Their team consisted of six people, and they also carried a simple stretcher and two robot dogs.

I didn’t expect the robot dog’s first actual combat experience to come so soon.

In order to save energy, they did not release the robot dogs for the first part of the journey. They only planned to let two robot dogs carrying detection instruments take the lead after they got close to the epicenter.

After climbing over a mountain and crossing a ditch, we were still five kilometers away from the epicenter.

Chen Ying and a few others sat on a dead tree beside the ditch to rest and have lunch.

Just as he took out the rice ball and had no time to eat it, he saw a golden-red shadow rushing towards Chen Ying.

Before the others could say "be careful", Chen Ying had already hugged Xiao Jin, who was panting from exhaustion.

"What happened?"

"Meow, meow, meow~" Xiao Jin panted and called twice quickly, and Chen Ying's face suddenly changed.

"Stop eating, hurry up and leave, Xiao Jin and the others found a wounded giant panda cub."

Without saying a word, everyone quickly put away their food and water and quickened their pace.

Fortunately, the mountain path was not particularly difficult to walk on. Even so, several people slipped and fell several times, and their bodies were covered in mud.

Soon they were less than two hundred meters away from the cave. However, at this moment, a familiar cry was heard. Chen Ying and the old ranger who led the team looked at each other and rushed forward while rolling and crawling.

The female panda who had left her home finally came back, looking dirty and disheveled, but with a reckless aura. Opposite her was Sister Leopard, who calmly confronted her and called out from time to time, trying to calm her down.

But how can a mother panda be obedient? As a top beast, being cute is just what it needs to get food. In the wild, cuteness is not the basis of survival. Only being fierce can allow it to come and go freely with its children.

"Stop, don't go over there for now. The female panda is under stress now, and we will anger her if we go over there."

Chen Ying stopped everyone and looked anxiously at the female panda who stood up and made noises from time to time.

His mind raced, trying to find a way to calm the mother panda or lure her away. After all, the longer the panda cub stayed in the cave, the more danger it would pose.

Just when Chen Ying didn't know what to do to safely take the cub away, another voice was heard. Even the mother panda was stunned. She took a step back vigilantly, blocked the entrance of the cave, and then looked back.
