Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 85: Brother Monkey Has Made Another Contribution
Half an hour later, Xiao Chen packed up and prepared to go down the mountain.

This time we had a narrow encounter with poachers and rescued many injured animals, including some cubs, who were probably going to sell them to the black circus.

The rescue center is short of staff, so Xiao Chen and Xiao Song have to go back to the center to provide support. Even Duanmu was notified to be prepared, as animals with minor injuries will be sent to the rescue station for him to help take care of them.

Xia Sen was also a little moved, but he couldn't let go of Xiong Bao.

Chen Ying thought about it and took the initiative to call Director Bai, saying that he could go to support the rescue work of the center.

Director Bai was probably very busy, so he just said that he would arrange the work after he finished the statistics.

No one slept well that night.

The poachers admitted that they had set hundreds of traps in the mountains, including humble bird nets.

It is said that the rescuers from Zhangmuzi took off their uniform shirts and were about to engage in physical combat with them, causing the young men to burst into tears.

Chen Ying went to find Monkey Brother in silence, and in exchange for three boxes of bananas, asked Monkey Brother's tribe to help check the surrounding area for bird nets and animals caught in traps.

He bought the three boxes of bananas with his own money, placed an order online, and had them delivered to the rescue center. Brother Liu and his colleagues would take time to help deliver them to the mountain.

Monkey didn't know what a bird net was, so Chen Ying took out a tablet and showed it to him, zooming in on photos of birds caught in the net and animals caught in animal traps.

Monkey squeaked, pointed at one of the animal trap photos, and pulled him away.

Chen Ying followed without saying a word.

Just near the canyon north of Huashu Valley, Chen Ying saw a lying musk deer.

The young forest musk deer was lying on the ground very weakly, with two other forest musk deer beside it. One of the big ones was biting fresh plant leaves and putting them into the young forest musk deer's mouth.

Judging from their size, it is obvious that this is a family consisting of a female musk deer and her two children.

Seeing these three mother and children, Chen Ying remembered that she had once delivered a musk deer.

I don’t know how the musk deer are doing now, or whether they have been eaten by wild beasts.

Seeing Chen Ying approaching, the other musk deer jumped away timidly and hid behind a branch to peek.

The mother musk deer was very panicked. She wanted to escape, but she couldn't leave her child behind, so she turned around in circles.

Chen Ying approached slowly, ignoring the musk deer's mother's nervousness, and looked carefully at the musk deer's feet.

There is definitely a fracture, but fortunately there is no sign of infection.

The musk deer has relatively thin legs and was lucky enough that the trap was stuck on a stone, just enough to catch the musk deer's ankle but not enough to penetrate deeply into the bone.

The fracture was caused by the musk deer trying to escape the trap and kicking and hitting around, breaking its leg bones which were not yet hard.

There are not many beasts as lucky as this one.

But if Monkey King hadn't led him over, the little musk deer would have died in a few days.

I tried to remove the trap, but the musk deer still lay there motionless.

This leg bone definitely needs treatment, so I have to take it down the mountain.

Just when I was worrying about how to take the little forest musk deer away, I saw Master Yi climbing up along the animal trail next to me.

Chen Ying saw him and quickly asked for help.

"Xiaoying? Why are you here?"

Master Yi has a heavy accent and it is difficult for non-locals to understand him.

"Uncle Yi, the little forest musk deer has had its bones injured by an animal. It may have been a day or two ago. Please help me and put it on my back. I have to carry it down the mountain."

"I'll carry it. You're a young man, how can you be so strong?"

Master Yi carries a small backpack he wove himself. It is used to carry water and food when patrolling the mountains, and to pick up garbage and animal traps. With a little padding, a small forest musk deer can barely fit in it.

Chen Ying gave the musk deer some water first. Master Yi walked around the area but didn't find any other traps.

Generally speaking, poachers will place traps along animal trails, but the density cannot be too high as it would be too conspicuous.

This animal trail is steep and slippery. Apart from small animals like musk deer that are good at climbing, other animals rarely come here.

There are many animal trails in the mountains, and Uncle Yi and his team will patrol them three to five times a month. After all, the area of ​​Jiamugou Forest Station is not small, and every road must be patrolled. Even if a month is fully scheduled, it may not be enough.

If it is April or May or late autumn, we have to strengthen fire patrols. We have to go up the mountain before dawn and come down after dark. Sometimes we have to spend the night in the mountains. The work intensity is extremely high.

Chen Ying plucked a handful of tender leaves to comfort the female musk deer.

If this little forest musk deer is taken away, it may never see its mother again, but if it is not taken away, death will also await it.

"I'll take it away and treat its wounds. Once it's healed, I'll see whether to let it go back to the mountains or what to do. Don't worry, I'll take good care of it."

The female musk deer looked at Chen Ying eagerly, touched his finger at last, licked the child's mouth, and resolutely left with the other child.

Seeing the mother and baby musk deer disappear in the forest, Master Yi patted Chen Ying on the shoulder. The two of them worked together to put the baby musk deer into the backpack, and Master Yi then carried it down the mountain.

When we returned to the rescue station, we happened to meet Brother Liu and Sister Dai who brought a group of small animals with not seriously injured up for recuperation. They were all herbivores, so it was just right for them to be kept outside the panda house.

Seeing Chen Ying and Master Yi bringing back a wounded musk deer and a trap, Brother Liu sprayed passionately for more than ten minutes before he calmed down.

After Sister Dai finished the handover with Duanmu, she came over to find Chen Ying.

"Xiao Song will go down the mountain to provide support first. I'll leave the rest of the mountain to you. Xia Sen's focus is still on Xiong Bao. You need to pay more attention to the rescue station."

Sister Dai said that the center has requested support from the veterinary department of the Agricultural University, and about fifteen students will come tomorrow.

"They are novices after all, so it is impossible for them to be responsible for the treatment independently, but they can be responsible for the post-treatment care and feeding. You have also arranged a student here, who will mainly work with Duanmu."

"Most of the injured animals sent here have bone injuries. You must seize this opportunity. When your project is completed, I will introduce you to some connections. Next time, you can strive to get a national-level project."

"Thank you, Sister Dai. Don't worry, leave it to me."

There are still many good people!

After checking the injured animals, we found that most of the rescued animals were cubs of grade 2, and their injuries were not serious. They would heal on their own if they were taken care of.

For some other people with bone injuries, splints will be used as needed, and acupuncture and massage will also be arranged.

After a busy day, I saw that it was already past one in the morning.

"Brother Ying, come and have some midnight snack."

Coming out of the observation room, Xiao Deng hurriedly greeted him.

As a midnight snack, it was just instant noodles with some luncheon meat and eggs.

The men worked so hard that they got hungry quickly, so two packs of noodles each were enough.

Uncle Zhao and Uncle Yi don’t stay up late with the young people. They go back to their rooms to sleep around ten o’clock.

They are not familiar with technology and do not know how to operate drones, so they are responsible for the places that are easier to reach and closer, and they have to go through them every day.

Yin Li and Xiao Deng were each equipped with a drone, and were mainly responsible for patrolling deep valleys and canyons that were not easily accessible, which was a considerable responsibility.

Chen Ying moved his shoulders and neck. He had undergone several fracture treatments today and he felt his bones protesting.

"Brother Ying, I heard that not only are our three protected areas stepping up their efforts, but I see that other protected areas are also conducting strict inspections. Look, several poaching cases have also been seized in Meng Province and Xin Province."

Chen Ying didn't want to talk about this heavy topic. As soon as he closed his eyes, he thought of the photos that Sister Dai showed him today. Several bloody big cats were lying on the ground of the police station. He couldn't help but think of Jin Ya and Brother Lynx.

After he finishes his work here, he should find some time to go and see how Brother Lynx is doing.

It will snow in the mountains in October, making the way up the mountain even more difficult to walk.

But that is the lynx and snow leopard's favorite season.

When Xiao Deng heard Chen Ying say that she wanted to go up the mountain to see the lynx before it snowed, he immediately looked at Yin Li eagerly.

"Don't make trouble. I'll go with you this time." Yin Li suppressed him without hesitation. "Why are you going up there if you don't have any experience hiking in the snowy mountains? Wait for another two years of training. By then, you won't be able to go even if you don't want to."

Chen Ying looked up at Yin Li and smiled secretly, biting her cheek.

This guy, who seemed to have thick eyebrows and big eyes and a righteous face, lied to Xiao Deng without blinking an eye. If he didn't know Yin Li's personality well, people would have thought that he was really considering Xiao Deng.

Tui, cunning!
