Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl Chapter 63 – Chapter 63 Chapter 63 You Really Think Highly of Yourself

Chapter 63: Chapter 63: You Really Think Highly of Yourself Chapter 63: Chapter 63: You Really Think Highly of Yourself Jinya was set loose and immediately turned into a trembling mass of nerves.

Reluctant to be fierce with Chen Ying, it chased Duanmu, trying to bite his butt, until Xiao Song managed to ransom Duanmu from its clutches with three chickens.

The whole incident was streamed live by Little Deng without missing a second. At first, there were only about a hundred viewers in the live stream, but the audience swelled to over a thousand in just two minutes when they came to see the live version of “Lynx girl VS Veterinarian.”

As a result, Duanmu also gained fame, earning the nickname “Three Chickens”…

Seeing them messing around, Chen Ying hurriedly packed up the instruments and then went to cook for the Golden Cat.

The Golden Cat's temperament was surprisingly gentle, of course, only towards the people at the Rescue station. If a stranger came in, it would stand alert and puff itself up in a defensive posture.

The little guy had been eating and sleeping well recently and was growing quickly. Compared to when it first arrived, it didn't look like the same cat at all.

“Jinya, Jinya, come back for food, hurry up, or Little Jin will eat it all.”

When Golden Cat Little Jin heard Chen Ying say this, it let out an unhappy mew and gave his finger a nibble, not allowing anyone to create discord between it and Jinya.

Chen Ying, good-natured as ever, patted its head and placed its and Jinya's food bowls side by side.

Little Jin wasn't in a hurry. It waited until Jinya had finished her frenzy, and once she returned to the platform, they started eating together.

But you know, watching them eat, 99% of people would get their genders wrong.

Jinya wolfed down her food, easily dirtying the fur on her cheeks.

Although the Golden Cat also made purring sounds while eating, its manners were much more elegant. It finished its meal spotlessly clean, needing just a quick wipe of its face to be done.

Jinya, on the other hand, had to spend time licking herself clean over and over.

Previously, Chen Ying couldn't bear to watch and would wipe her face with a towel, but now Little Jin had taken over the cleaning duties, and all Jinya needed to do was lie down and enjoy a facial spa.

Still, you're something else, Jin Xiaoya!

A rain shower passed before the completion of the small building in the forest.

The interior decorating was delayed by two or three days.

The equipment that was to be transported and installed was all packed and stored in the vacant animal shed on the first floor, ready to be shipped on an auspicious day.

During this period, the forest patrol officers had a heavier workload. After all, during the summer vacation, there were always seven or eight crispy ‘explorers' who wanted to prove themselves, or thought they could emulate Bear Grylls after watching some videos.

Just yesterday, there was a distress call from the semi-wild area. Three university graduates had entered the semi-wild area on foot without permission. Their classmates waiting outside couldn't contact them and, in a panic, went to the local police station for help.

Upon enquiry, it turned out they had been gone for five damn days!

The place they entered was quite far from Jiamu Gully. Nearby, there was a famous 5level Snow Mountain scenic area.

That place was also a favorite among many mountain climbers in the country.

These three brothers were not professionals; without proper training, they entered the unopened area for adventure just to chase clout.

“Tell me, isn't this just tempting fate?”

Upon receiving the orders from higher up, there was an uproar at the Rescue station.

Apart from the local police station, the management bureau, and the search and rescue team heading into the mountains to find them, other rescue stations and police stations, and even community grid workers, were all assigned to strengthen their promotional patrols, fearing there would be individuals who overestimated their own abilities and sought to challenge their limits.

“This rain brings a chill with it; I hope those students don't run into trouble,”
Little Deng wrapped his coat tighter and looked at the foggy peaks, feeling apprehensive.

The year before last, or perhaps the year before that, there was a hiking enthusiast who got lost in the mountains, and by the time he was found, he had frozen solid.

Yin Li glanced outside and also had a bad feeling.

“Little Deng, pack up; let's take a stroll around Old Dragon Pond.”

Old Dragon Pond wasn't too far from Jiamu Gully, located about sixty kilometers northeast of the Rescue Station and adjacent to another nature reserve, which also included the region of Snow Mountain.

However, the distance between the two was still considerable; more than one hundred kilometers by provincial road, and the journey through mountains and valleys could easily be double that. They surely couldn't have gotten lost and wandered all the way over here.

“It's hard to say,” Master Zhao responded as he donned his outdoor gear. “They've been in the mountains for five days now. It's difficult to say whether it's possible they've ended up here.”

Master Yi was a man of few words. As Master Zhao dressed, he gathered his own gear and handed the long-handled sickle to his old comrade. The four set out up the mountain from two different directions, planning to meet at Old Dragon Pond.

Xiao Song clasped his hands together and bowed in the direction of Snow Mountain, praying for those three students to be rescued.

Not long after Yin Li and his team had left, Dr. Gao returned to the Rescue Station with his three junior colleagues.

They were covered in mud, their hair plastered with muddy water.

Chen Ying didn't ask why they had suddenly come down the mountain; he quickly arranged for the four to bathe and wash their hair. Meanwhile, he personally brewed some ginger soup in the kitchen and started thawing and blanching chicken to stew over the fire.

Dr. Gao was the first to finish bathing. He found Chen Ying but hesitated to speak for a long moment.

“What's the matter? You look as if you've got the weight of the world on your shoulders.”

“Ah, Brother Ying, we might have gotten ourselves into trouble.”

A sense of dread seized Chen Ying's heart. He glanced out the kitchen door, then lowered his voice to look at Dr. Gao, who was squatting beside him plucking vegetables, and asked what happened.

“Luo Ben, he's provoked a wolf.”

“What, what did you say?”

He knew there were wolves in the mountains, but their range of activity wasn't within this protected area. For them to have encountered one took some rotten luck.

He had greatly underestimated the students of today, truly!

“Tell me more.”

“Weren't we going up the mountain to observe the Green-tailed Rainbow Pheasant? It was at that bird-watching cabin where I used to stay; do you still remember where it is?”

“I remember. The base of that mountain should be the boundary between our reserve and the neighboring one.”

“I repeatedly warned them, apart from bird-watching, not to touch anything else. If they encountered any wild animals, not to act recklessly. Normally, wild animals won't attack humans unless food is extremely scarce, except for mother animals with cubs.”

Indeed, this was the first and foremost point constantly drilled into them by their teachers and seniors during field studies.

But unexpectedly, Luo Ben and his reticent classmate stumbled upon a wolf den without a mother guarding it while they were out collecting samples.

He couldn't resist the temptation and pulled out a wolf cub to play with, even snapping some photos.

Even though he put the cub back after persistent urging from his classmate, that evening, their bird-watching cabin was targeted by wolves.

“Do you know? When I saw the dead wolf cub lying below the cabin, I felt like my scalp was going to explode,” Dr. Gao interjected, his fingers thrust into his hair, shaking with anger.

“It wasn't safe on the mountain anymore. I immediately reported it to our teacher and led them down here. But that mother wolf was following us all the way until we reached the Rescue Station, then the feeling of being watched finally dissipated.”

Chen Ying's expression was extremely solemn as he looked at the infuriated Dr. Gao; he was at a loss for words.

“Alright, I've got it. I'll make sure everyone stays safe.”

After saying this, he immediately called Yin Li to inform him of the situation, urging the four of them to be extra vigilant during their ascent for any signs of being followed by wolves.

After hanging up the phone, a nagging doubt emerged in Chen Ying's mind.

A wolf litter rarely had fewer than three pups. Excluding those that died naturally, the average survival rate usually ranged between three and seven.

According to Dr. Gao, just one cub had died and the mother wolf had fixated on them. What about the other cubs? Was the mother willing to abandon them?
