Chapter 5: The Taste of a Time Management Master A little later, Sister Dai from the center brought up the two cubs, along with special milk powder and feeding tools. "The two cubs are making a lot of noise without their mother. The director asked you to try to put the cubs next to the mother leopard, and then take them out and feed them separately when feeding." From the surveillance footage, we saw that the mother leopard was in good condition, but the two cubs did not sleep after eating and drinking, and kept making noise with their mouths open. Fearing that the noise would affect the cubs' health if it lasted too long, Director Liao of the center asked Sister Dai to send them back to Chen Ying. "Take care of it first. I'll arrange the work tomorrow and come up to help you." "No need, Sister Dai. I can do it by myself. I may need to trouble the center to send someone to help clean the animal house." "That's easy. I'll come up and help you with it during lunch." Sister Dai currently has no injured or sick patients on duty, so her work is relatively easy, which is why Director Liao wanted to let her be responsible for taking care of the two little leopards. I didn't expect the little leopard to have such a bad temper. Taking other considerations into account, I felt it would be better to reunite the mother and her two cubs. After seeing Sister Dai off, Chen Ying checked the little leopards' bodies, touched their bulging bellies, and confirmed that they were full before picking up the kitten basket that Sister Dai had made for them and sending them to find their mother.
The female leopard is now awake more often. Although she cannot move around as much as she wants due to the restraints, she has not shown the stress response they are worried about. Seeing Chen Ying coming in, the female leopard shrugged and let out a soft howl. Hearing their mother’s voice, the two drowsy little leopards instantly became alert, lay down beside the bamboo basket, and called “Ah-woo, Ah-woo” in the direction of their mother. Before the mother leopard could struggle, Chen Ying rushed over and placed the two cubs on its chest. The female leopard was seriously injured from the waist to the hind legs, but the upper half of the body was fine with only a few scratches, which did not require bandaging after treatment. The two cubs smelled their mother's scent and started to whine and snuggle into her arms. Chen Ying dragged them out one by one, and rubbed the mother leopard's head, not allowing it to let its children go to suckle. "You're not well yet, so you can't breastfeed, okay? I'll help you feed them. We'll talk about it in a few days when you're well again." He checked and found that the mother leopard did not seem to have enough milk. Perhaps this was the reason why it competed with other beasts for food despite being weak after giving birth. Leopard cubs start trying to eat meat at eight to ten weeks and are weaned at four months. His examination results were the same as Sister Dai's. The two little leopards were about half a month old and their staple food was still milk. The mother leopard held her two cubs and licked them for a long time before rubbing her head against Chen Ying's arm. "Ow." "You're welcome. Taking good care of your injuries is the greatest reward you can give me." After cleaning up the food bowl and water bowl and changing the sanitary pad for the female leopard, Chen Ying dragged out the camp bed and placed it in the corner of the observation room. He needs to get up every two hours at night to check on the situation. In addition to the female leopard, the female lynx also needs to be observed. When Brother Liu brought up supplies in the evening, he suggested that he could stay at the aid station to help. It just so happened that Chen Ying had to take care of three patients and couldn't go up the mountain to check on the birds. Brother Liu's proactive help solved a big problem for them.
At five o'clock in the morning, after Chen Ying finished his fourth inspection, he went directly to the kitchen. In addition to breakfast for the three of them, he also had to help prepare dry food for Yin Li and Brother Liu for lunch. We also have to provide nutritious meals for the three patients. It was almost seven o'clock when we finished all this work. Yin Li helped clean the animal house. Brother Liu came back from outside and cut some fresh bamboo. After the moisture had dried out a little, he could clean it up and take it to feed Mengyan. Chen Ying made glutinous rice balls, which are popular among local people. Steam the rice and glutinous rice, let it dry, add the diced bacon and vegetables that have been fried in advance, add a small amount of pepper and salt powder, mix well, knead into a baby fist-sized rice ball, wrap it with lettuce leaves and put it in the lunch box. In addition, you can use the seasoning package box to pack some chopped pickled vegetables and homemade green pepper sauce, and then add a few bags of instant soup, and you will have a hearty lunch. The soup needs to be brewed with boiling water. The temperature is not high now, and the temperature on the mountain is two degrees lower. Yin Li and Brother Liu each carried a military thermos with a two-liter capacity. After breakfast, Yin Li and Brother Liu packed their bags and set off quickly. Chen Ying didn't have time to clean up the kitchen, so she delivered breakfast to the three patients first. The blind man was still a foodie. As long as there was food, drink and fun, he had no intention of bothering with his injured leg. The lynx girl is different. She is more irritable today. She eats faster and makes a whirring sound. After Chen Ying checked its injuries as usual, he was about to leave when the lynx girl grabbed his trouser leg. "Wo, oh wo." Lynx girl: Why are you running away? Can't you just accompany me for dinner? Or is that female leopard prettier than me? When Chen Ying realized what Lynx said, he was stunned. After hesitating for a moment, he half-knelt down and looked at the Lynx girl straight in the eye. "Of course you are beautiful. You and the leopard mother are not of the same species. Why do you want to compete with her? Besides, I need to observe the healing of her wounds and feed her two cubs. This is my job, do you understand?" The lynx girl stared at Chen Ying with her wise eyes for a long time before releasing her claws. "Oh, wow." Then go ahead, and come back quickly. Chen Ying left the lynx girl's animal house stiffly, stood at the door with her hands on her hips for a while, then shook her head with a helpless look, and hurried to feed the mother leopard and her two cubs. Compared with the lynx girl, the leopard mother was much calmer. After looking up at him, she continued to clean the butts of her two cubs. Chen Ying checked the wound and loosened the restraints. Now there is no need to restrict its movements. Appropriate more activities will help Leopard Mom recover. Feeling that the thing restricting her movements was gone, Leopard Mom shook her head and stood up tentatively. The animal diaper made it feel a little uncomfortable, so it looked back and tried to break free. "No, wear it. You can't move freely for the next two days. I will change it for you on time and make sure it doesn't stink." Half holding the leopard mother's body, Chen Ying placed the food bowl in front of it. "Come, eat quickly. I'll give you the freshest meat. It's guaranteed to be tender." After saying that, she took out the two little cubs and prepared to feed them.
The stingy system only gave one bottle, and after he filled it, he gave it to the bigger one. He held the other one and fed it with a small veterinary bottle provided by the center. When the mother leopard saw her two cubs start eating, she snorted and buried her head in showing off. After finishing a bowl of rabbit meat, Leopard Mother lay on her side to clean her mouth and yawned loudly. The medicine hidden in the meat began to take effect slowly and she felt sleepy. The two cubs fell asleep immediately after finishing their milk. Chen Ying put them both in a cat basket, and then placed the basket next to the mother leopard. After making sure that the mother and her two cubs were soundly asleep, she tiptoed out of the observation room. Next, he was going to comfort the lynx girl. He is obviously a simple veterinarian, but he has a bit of the scumbag taste of a time management master. (End of this chapter)
