Chapter 3 The poor little guy must be starving. At 5:30 in the morning, Yin Li got up to clean the yard and heated up their breakfast. When they have nothing to do, they will cook something delicious to treat themselves. When they are busy, they basically just eat frozen food and soy milk powder. There were two more injured little guys today. In addition to their breakfast, Yin Li also took out some meat from the refrigerator and asked Chen Ying to make nutritious meals for the two little guys. With the full-level animal food mixing technique, today's nutritious meal is even more delicious. Lynx girls are different from blindfolded species and have different eating habits. Mengyan prefers to eat fresh bamboo leaves and fruits, and occasionally eats a little meat. So its nutritious meals are mainly plant-based, seasoned with homemade jam, and Mengyan screams in anxiety when he smells the smell. "Don't worry, it'll be fine soon." Chen Ying took the opportunity of covering his eyes and eating to check his injured leg. The recovery was better than he thought, and the plaster splint could be removed in a month at most. It will definitely take some time for it to be observed before it can be released back into the forest. Optimistically speaking, the little guy can stay in the rescue station for about half a year.
The red panda's mating season is in early winter, and its return to the forest just happens to coincide with the first mating season in its life. The biggest question now is whether Mengyan, who has just recovered from his injuries, can defeat other male red pandas and successfully bring the beautiful bear home. He couldn't help with this, all he could do was take good care of him and hope that Mengyan could recover soon. After taking care of the blindfold, Chen Ying came to the ward of the lynx girl. The big cat was sleeping well. When he saw Chen Ying come in, he lay on his side, stretched, and washed his face. "Ah, ah." The lynx girl stood up, her steps still a little weak. "Here it comes. Look, this is a nutritious meal made for you. Try it and see if you like it." With the help of the common language, Chen Ying understood what the lynx girl said as soon as she entered the room. It was asking itself when it could leave this place, it was too small and it didn't like it. "You have to stay here for two more days. Once the inflammation in your body has completely subsided, I will place you in the animal kennel in the back." Chen Ying scratched the lynx girl's chin and rubbed its ears a few times. "The area of the cage is much larger, but it's still incomparable to the wild. Eat well, take good care of your injuries, and try to recover soon, so that you can go home sooner." The lynx girl snorted twice, lowered her head to finish the breakfast with medicine added, turned her back and lay down, giving Chen Ying a heartless back. "Shadow, what are you doing? Come and have breakfast. We still have to go up the northeast slope to have a look today." Yin Li knocked on the window glass, urging Chen Ying to hurry up. If he didn't urge him, his childhood friend would stay at home for a whole day. "I'm here, have you packed your things? When will Brother Liu and the others arrive?" As he was going to be away for a long time today, he prepared lunch for Mengyan and Lynx Girl in advance and put it in the refrigerator. Brother Liu and the others took it out to thaw it at noon, mixed it with medicine powder and fed it to them. They are all skilled workers and know what to do without any additional instructions.
As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Liu and his partner's motorcycle stopped in the yard. "Xiao Yin, Xiao Chen, you may have to change your plans. Just when we came up here, we received a notification that an injured animal was found in Shandongzi Village, and it was a mother with cubs." As soon as Brother Liu finished speaking, Chen Ying ran to the treatment room and brought out a medical box. To rescue the injured animals, he and Yin Li could not do it alone, so Brother Liu stayed behind to take care of the two injured animals and to inspect the water and electricity facilities of the forest station and the rescue station. The rainy season was coming soon, and the most feared thing for houses in the mountains was aging and fire. Chen Ying and the other two didn't waste any time. They drove the rescue station's pickup truck towards Shandongzi Village. In the past two years, the country has made great efforts to protect animals and plants, and the environment has also improved a lot. The road from the rescue station to Shandongzi Village used to be a man-made mud road, which was completely impassable on rainy days. In the past two years, cement roads have been built. Although they are a bit narrow, the problem of inconvenient transportation has been completely solved. Half an hour later, the three of them arrived at Shandongzi Village. Chen Ying had already noticed a lot of people gathered on the opposite hillside, so he jumped out of the car and rushed over there. "Village head, Doctor Chen is here, everyone please get out of the way." Some sharp-eyed villagers saw the three people from the rescue station running over and hurried down to help, lifting the iron cage in the truck bed, which was specially prepared for transporting injured animals. Chen Ying put on protective clothing while asking about the situation. "It was Sanwazi who found it, right in the ditch. None of us dared to go down. The village chief threw a chicken over, but the mother didn't move at all, so we suspected she might be dead. But there were cubs in her belly, and one just popped out, two of them, this big." The villager who was speaking gestured and said that the cub was only the size of an adult's palm. Chen Ying observed from the ditch and decided to go down to get a closer look at the situation. Yin Li planned to go down with him, but was stopped by him. "I'll go down and take a look at the situation first. You guys make preparations for rescue up there." He originally had a tranquilizer gun in his hand, but when he found that the female animal did not move, he did not dare to shoot. They slid down carefully from three meters away from the mother beast, and everyone held their breath, fearing that loud breathing would alarm the mother beast. They never considered that if the mother beast was frightened by the loud noises they had made before, she would have gone crazy. Chen Ying slid smoothly to the bottom of the ditch. He did not dare to move easily. He squatted down and observed for a minute, confirming that the female animal had lost consciousness. This is a leopard, and its species can be clearly identified from its head shape and facial features. The year before last, their rescue station filmed a video of a leopard raising its cubs, but they didn’t expect that this would be the case during their first encounter this year. Normally, the breeding season for leopards is in March and April, with a gestation period of about 3-4 days. A litter usually consists of two cubs, but there may be more, but most of these occur in artificial breeding situations. Normally, leopards should not give birth at this time. Either the female leopard is in estrus early, or the cubs are born prematurely. While analyzing the situation in his mind, Chen Ying tentatively approached the leopard. He reached out and touched the female leopard's head, but it didn't move at all. Chen Ying quickly checked its body and found that it was a female leopard that had just given birth less than two months ago. There were deep wounds on its abdomen, and its intestines were exposed. The obvious lacerations showed that it must have fought with other beasts.
Two cubs were pulled out from the mother beast's bloody belly. It was really only the size of a palm and was extremely hungry. It opened its mouth and screamed desperately, but no sound could be heard from them. Chen Ying quickly wrapped the two little guys with a towel. Yin Li tied a safety rope and went down to a height of one meter behind the mother leopard and took the two little ones. Just as they were handing over the little leopard, a scream came from the ditch, and Chen Ying felt her thigh being hugged tightly. (End of this chapter)
