Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 450 - 423 Xiong Da: The world is so big, I want to go see it
Chapter 450: Chapter 423 Xiong Da: The world is so big, I want to go see it
At the Protection Station, as soon as they got out of the car, Yin Li quickly arranged for them to stay in the dormitory and had the station’s doctor come to the dormitory to check them over.
"Your teacher said," he said, "that once they complete their task and leave the uninhabited area, they will contact you. Then I’ll arrange for a car to take you two to meet up with your teacher and classmates. Until then, just bear with it and recuperate at the station with peace of mind."
After settling them in, Yin Li had to take Dr. Chen Ying, Dao Meihua, and the intern back to the emergency station.
Having rested at the Protection Station for one night, early the next morning, Yin Li drove them back. They hadn’t gone two kilometers when he received a call from the station, saying that a tourist had found an injured bird on the roadside, unable to recognize the species, but it looked very fierce.
"Director Yin, let’s go check it out."
The intern excitedly slapped his thigh. He had seen quite a few birds on the way, but the one he most wanted to see hadn’t appeared, which was somewhat disappointing.
Yin Li immediately turned the car around and headed to where the tourists had mentioned.
After about seven or eight kilometers in the opposite direction, they stopped by the roadside where two cars were parked, and four or five people were gathered in a circle, pointing at something by the roadside.
"That should be the place."
Yin Li parked by the roadside and gave safety reminders before the four of them got out to check the situation.
"Hello, are you the ones who reported finding an injured bird?"
"Yes, I called. Are you the police?"
A young girl looked suspiciously at them for a moment, her phone’s camera sweeping across their faces.
"I’m from River Source Protection Station, and this is Dr. Chen from the station."
"Is that the injured bird over there? Have you been over to look yet?"
While the girl and her companions covertly filmed, Yin Li didn’t ask them to stop, as his work recorder was also turned on and he wasn’t worried about the filming.
"Director Yin, this is an adult falcon. It likely injured its wing in a fight with another bird of prey."
The intern, who specialized in bird studies, observed and made the judgment.
"First cover it with a piece of clothing, then figure out a way to put it in a cage. We can’t let it move its wings around; otherwise, it might lose the ability to fly."
Chen Ying watched for a while, then jumped down from the roadbed. "Let me check the situation. Don’t come closer for now."
He opened his waist pack and fished out some old snacks from the pack to tempt the injured falcon.
Initially a bit reactive, the falcon hopped backward a few steps but seemed to sense something, paused, tilted its head to look a couple of times, then tentatively pecked at the snack Chen Ying held in his palm.
Its beak was very sharp, but fortunately, Chen Ying’s gloves were of good quality, and he only felt a slight dull pain when it pecked at him.
After eating the snacks, the falcon became more accustomed to Chen Ying’s proximity. When he reached out to grab its body, the falcon struggled slightly but then remained still.
Chen Ying quickly examined it. "It’s a wing fracture. We need to take it back for setting, repositioning, and support."
The treatment was simple; the only variable was getting the falcon to consciously avoid flapping its wings erratically.
Dao Meihua carried a metal cage from the car, placed the falcon inside, and then covered it slightly with cloth to prevent it from getting frightened and struggling.
As the three of them were handling the falcon, Yin Li also took down the contact information of the young girl who reported the incident, promising to send her videos of the falcon before it was released back to health.
"Actually, you can just directly search for our River Source official account on social media. You’ll find videos of rescued animals there, both those released back into the wild and those specially placed."
After all, not all rescued animals can be returned to the wild. Some are severely injured which results in physical disabilities, others are too old and can no longer hunt to sustain themselves in the wild. Those animals are all arranged to stay in appropriate places for continued treatment and recovery.
Those that can be displayed are arranged for display; those that cannot, also have their own small worlds to peacefully live out their days.
The tourists who had been watching silently also took out their phones and followed the River Source Rescue Center’s official account as Yin Li had instructed.
It was only then they realized that the rescue center had helped so many animals, including both carnivores and herbivores.
Especially a litter of Desert Cats, whose messy fur and ragged appearance made them particularly endearing.
"You can also follow the official account of Qing Ye, where they have individual life videos of Snow Leopards and Lynxes."
The animals left at the rescue center were basically those that needed to be released back into the wild. Most of the ones that couldn’t return were sent to Qing Ye for sheltering.
Just as Chen Ying and his group were about to get into the car and leave, a young man suddenly pointed at Chen Ying. "I know who you are. You must be Dr. Chen Ying, the Great Druid that was mentioned online, right?"
Chen Ying looked up in surprise, his face expressionless.
Feeling that Chen Ying had tacitly agreed, the young man became visibly excited.
"Dr. Chen, I’m a fan of yours. But by the time I knew about you, your personal account had already stopped updating and even deactivated. I just want to ask, will you apply for an account again and continue to share knowledge online?"
He rambled on with the same sentiment, saying that he had a little brother at home who was unwell and could not move freely but loved animals, most especially the real animal videos posted by Chen Ying.
After Chen Ying deactivated his account, his little brother had been depressed for a long time. He and his family had gone to great lengths to cheer him up.
"Dr. Chen, could I take a photo with you? Also, may I ask if you could exchange social media contacts with my little brother? He really loves animals and he really admires you."
