Chapter 17 Helpless, this is a cruel biological competition The alarm was set for three in the morning, but at a little past two, the system alarm woke up Chen Ying from her deep sleep. [Host, please go to the back mountain coordinates point xx as soon as possible to rescue the musk deer that is having a difficult birth. Mission completed, rewarded with a gift package. ] The forest musk deer is the smallest mammal in the genus Musk deer in the family Musk family of the order Artiodactylus. It is currently at the national endangered level. The last time brother Lynx came to visit his sister Jinya, he caught a young musk deer, which made the people at the center very distressed. In theory, this season has passed the musk deer's breeding season, but this is not absolute. Some musk deer that mate later may give birth before the end of July. Calculating the time, this female musk deer that had a difficult birth was probably a young mother who married and had children late. He carried the medical box, changed into rainproof and scratch-resistant clothes and shoes, locked the door of the rescue station, and ran quickly to the coordinate point while calling his colleague who was monitoring the situation. The colleague who received Chen Ying's call didn't even have time to react before the other party hung up. He confusedly switched the surveillance camera of the rescue station on the mountain to the screen, and then poked his partner.
"Check the surveillance outside the rescue station on the mountain. Chen Ying has gone to the mountain to rescue wild animals. Let us help him keep an eye on the surroundings." "How did he know there were wild animals in distress at this late hour?" "I don't know. The person on the phone said they heard an animal call. It didn't sound like a normal sound, so I went to check it out." The two monitoring colleagues chatted casually for a few minutes to refresh themselves, their eyes fixed on the display screen. The place where musk deer are born is not far from the rescue station. Walk up the mountain about 50 meters from the road at the entrance, go left into the forest, and walk along the hillside for more than 100 meters to arrive. It looks easy, but people in the mountains know that the wild old forests in this kind of protection area have many trees and dense grass, and it is easy to get lost if you are not careful. Under normal circumstances, it may take less than a minute to run a hundred meters, but in a dense forest, it is considered impressive if you can reach your destination within ten minutes. It rained for most of the day, but the road outside was fine and dried up quickly when the wind blew. But it’s different in the dense forest. When you step on the ground, you feel a wet feeling. If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of water splashing under the rotten leaves. Chen Ying was familiar with the terrain of this mountain forest, and with the help of systematic guidance, he arrived at the place where the musk deer were giving birth after more than ten minutes. I couldn't see the surroundings clearly at night, but based on my impression, this should not be the normal activity area of the musk deer. Without bothering to analyze why the musk deer mother gave birth here, Chen Ying just hoped that her arrival would not cause the musk deer mother to have a stress reaction. He sprayed himself with the odor-eliminating spray he had mixed, mainly because he was afraid that the scent of the two big cats on his body would scare the mother musk deer who was having difficulty giving birth. Perhaps the animal affinity bonus was effective. After the dystocia musk deer cried twice, it did not struggle to leave. Instead, it looked up at Chen Ying, sniffed him, and moved closer to him. "Yes, don't be afraid, I'm here to help you." There were no outsiders here, so Chen Ying directly used the universal language of animals, hoping not to scare the new mother. The musk deer, who was in labor, stretched her head, rubbed Chen Ying's hand, opened her mouth and bit his clothes, looking very aggrieved. After turning on the emergency light to illuminate the small area, Chen Ying put on gloves and disinfected them, and began to observe the musk deer mother's delivery. Obviously, the new mother had a miscarriage, with the musk deer's hind legs coming out first.
It tried for quite some time and almost ran out of strength, but the musk deer was still stuck in the birth canal. Chen Ying quickly took out the snacks rewarded by the system and stuffed them into Lin Musk’s mother’s pockets. This is a universal snack block. Under normal circumstances, it is not given to herbivorous animals. However, under special circumstances, it can replenish the animal's physical strength at the fastest speed. "Come on, let's take a break after eating, and then try again." I touched Lin Musk's mother's neck and found her whole body was wet and it was obvious that she was almost exhausted. Unfortunately, he left in a hurry and didn't bring any delicious food for the musk deer mother. After thinking for a while, he took out the little leopard's unused milk bottle, mixed it with a bottle of milk powder and stuffed it into the musk deer mother's mouth. The musk deer mother quickly finished a bottle of milk and regained some strength. Chen Ying stroked its belly to help it adapt to the pressure of exertion. This time, with the help of Chen Ying, the musk deer that was in labor was finally pulled out of the birth canal. The effects of difficult labor made the newborn look much weaker than a normal musk deer. The mother musk deer did not mind that her child had caused her so much suffering, and she tried hard to lick the mucus off its body. Normal musk deer cubs can stand and feed after ten to fifteen minutes, but this little guy has been unable to stand up by his own strength for almost twenty minutes. The mother musk deer has started a new round of labor, and it is obvious that she has more than one baby this time. After much consideration, Chen Ying finally decided to artificially feed the musk deer that had a difficult birth. Milk powder and water are readily available. The little musk deer lay in Chen Ying's arms and finally drank the first sip of milk in its life. By the time it finished its bottle of milk, the mother musk deer had given birth to two smaller babies. The two babies developed normally. One took twelve minutes, and the other took sixteen minutes. Both of them successfully stood up and came to their mother to suck hard. After feeding the dystocia baby musk deer, the mother musk deer put it on the ground. After a long while, the little guy finally stood up tremblingly. It looked like it was about to fall after taking two steps, so the mother musk deer subconsciously avoided its approach. Chen Ying felt a little uncomfortable. This is the law of survival in the animal world. The first musk deer born was supposed to be the strongest one, but unfortunately it was born in the wrong position and suffocated for too long, so it was unable to stand on its own after birth. In the wild, such a cub is destined to be abandoned. Fortunately, it met a benefactor in this life, which gave it hope of survival. The mother musk deer licked her two children, then approached Chen Ying and licked his hand. Then she called "mi, mi" twice and slowly walked into the dense forest with her two newborn children. The little musk deer held by Chen Ying stumbled and tried to keep up, but unfortunately it stumbled every two steps and couldn't keep up with the movements of its mother and brothers. By the time it stood firm, the musk deer and her two children had disappeared. The musk deer called out "mimi" a few times, full of confusion and helplessness. Chen Ying took off the T-shirt he was wearing, wrapped the musk deer, and then wrapped it in his coat.
The entire rescue process took more than two hours, and it was almost five o'clock when he returned to the rescue station. While calling the center to report the situation, he took out the incubator that had not been used for a long time, plugged it into the power supply, and placed it in his bedroom. This incubator is specially modified and suitable for small even-toed ungulate cubs such as deer and musk deer. Musk deer are considered small among even-toed ungulates, and their cubs look even smaller than usual. The little guy fell asleep wrapped in Chen Ying's clothes, feeling aggrieved, and occasionally twitched his thin front hoof. The call was made before five o'clock, and the two female teachers in charge of rescuing wild animal cubs arrived at ten past six. The little guy was lying in the incubator in a daze. When he was moved into the car, he came to his senses and started struggling in panic. No, the new account has no ink, so I can't redeem the illustration invitation code. I'll try again when I have enough ink. (End of this chapter)
