Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 10 - Jinya tilted her head, acting cute
Chapter 10: Chapter 10 Jinya tilted her head, acting cute
"Don't all come over together. Teacher Luo, come here, let me introduce you."
Chen Ying pressed down on Mendun'er with one hand and rubbed its head with the other, trying to push it up.
"Teacher Luo, he will help you with the check-up, your stomach hurts, and he's the one who can solve it for you."
Chen Ying seriously explained to the giant panda and then had Teacher Luo tentatively approach Mendun'er.
The giant panda instinctively bared its teeth at Teacher Luo, who immediately stopped in his tracks, allowing Mendun'er to become familiar with his scent.
"Come, have a sniff." Chen Ying grabbed the skin on the back of Mendun'er's neck, indicating it to slowly approach Teacher Luo. After circling around him, Mendun'er finally accepted Teacher Luo's presence, although it still desperately rubbed against Chen Ying.
"I have to stay here to take care of Leopard Sister, she has little cubs, doesn't she? Be good, go get your check-up, and later Teacher Luo will bring you back here, and I'll help you recuperate, then you can go home when you're better, okay?"
The wild giant panda didn't smell particularly pleasant, but Chen Ying showed no disgust and affectionately kissed its forehead.
In Mendun'er's whining, Chen Ying gestured for Teacher Luo to come along, guiding it to enter the transshipment cage by itself.
"I've written down the results of the preliminary check-up here. I suggest taking it straight for a CT scan after we get down the mountain to determine whether it's a blockage or a tumor in its stomach."
Teacher Luo nodded, patted Chen Ying's shoulder, and all was understood without words.
There was no time for pleasantries.
Whether it was a tumor or a blockage, since the giant panda Mendun'er had ascites, it must be treated immediately, with as little delay as possible.
It wasn't even ten minutes to the rescue station before a group of people turned their vehicles around to head down the mountain.
On the road, they met up with another car that came to support them; halfway through, they took a detour, heading directly to the closest giant panda research center.
It wasn't a lack of trust in Chen Ying's judgment, but rather, upon receiving the call from the rescue center, the research center had already formed a medical team and even contacted the radiology department of the local people's hospital, reserving the equipment needed for Mendun'er's examination.
In every way, the research center was better equipped and more suitable than the rescue station.
After sending Teacher Luo and the others off, Chen Ying went back to open the door of the animal shed, massaging Leopard Sister's muscles to relax them while explaining Mendun'er's situation in detail.
Regardless of whether Leopard Sister understood or not, he did his best.
Leopard Sister might not have understood much, but that didn't matter; it trusted that Chen Ying wouldn't harm its friends.
Chen Ying massaged Leopard Sister's hind legs for a good while, easing the tight muscles considerably.
Leopard Sister's injuries were healing quickly, but it had been severely hurt and nearly lost its life. Although the wounds were healing, it would still take at least a few months to return to its normal state.
The two little cubs were well-fed and slept soundly, visibly growing larger and chubbier, like two soft plush toys when held in the hands.
Since Chen Ying took mostly care of Leopard Sister and Jinya these days, he delegated Meng Yan's care to Yin Li.
In the mornings when not patrolling the mountain, Yin Li would also help by letting the two little cubs out in the yard to bask in the sun.
The less-than-a-month-old cubs would stumble with every step they took, and with their increased weight, sometimes after a few steps, they'd fall over and end up rolling around.
Yin Li was really fond of the two little cubs, with his phone filled with their photos and videos.
While Yin Li went out to patrol the mountains and forest, Sister Dai, would come up every afternoon to clean the animal shed and chop bamboo to prepare food for Meng Yan.
She didn't recklessly tease the two little cubs, only kept her distance and clicked away at them and the beautiful Leopard Sister nonstop.
Jinya didn't quite like interacting with people other than Chen Ying and Yin Li. Whenever Sister Dai came, it hid on the horizontal wood specially made for it in the animal shed, glaring intently at the entrance.
This was for the best. Wild animals needed to maintain their natural wariness of humans, so as not to easily lose their lives.

These years, the nation had cracked down hard on poachers. But, lured by profit, many still risked danger to poach precious wildlife.
One of the focal points of Yin Li and his team's work was to prevent the rampant poaching.
"In another half month, Jinya will be able to return to the mountains and forests. Have you submitted your work log? Did the leader give any other instructions, will it be released on-site or what?"
"Released on-site." Chen Ying scratched the little cub's chin, watching them place their heads on her fingers like they were being affectionate, their paws incessantly pawing at her fingers.
"Jinya naturally belongs to this mountain forest. It wasn't wounded in a fight with its own kind, and besides, its sibling's older brother is still nearby, which should provide it with more secure protection."
"I had only read about it in books before, where wild animal siblings or mother and child would overlap part of their territories. This is the first time I'm seeing it in practice."
Yin Li stood up and grinned, "I don't know why, but I always feel that Jinya will have trouble finding a boyfriend in the future, it will need her big uncle's approval."
Chen Ying paused, then shook her head with a smile.
"If Jinya's brother chooses the nearby territory as his own, Jinya will probably have to take the initiative when searching for a boyfriend."
There was also a possibility that the territory of Jinya's boyfriend and the overlapping part of her brother's territory were north and south of each other, encompassing Jinya's territory. This way, it wouldn't delay Jinya's breeding, while also ensuring she was adequately cared for.
However, wild animals were not human after all; such familial care might exist, but it was not guaranteed.
Looking at the time, it was almost Jinya's turn to be let out for fresh air.
Yin Li took the two little ones into the room to feed them meat soup, while Chen Ying let Jinya out, planning to take Big Cat for a stroll in the nearby woods.
Jinya stuck close to Chen Ying's legs as it walked slowly out of the animal shed, stretched lazily in the yard, and trotted in circles for a few steps.
The tearing sensation in its hind leg muscles had diminished a lot, the wound was healing nicely, there was no redness or swelling after the stitches were removed, and a thin layer of fur had regrown in the shaved areas.
It stretched its hind legs, turned its head, and licked the injured spot carefully, then gently nibbled it.
Chen Ying did not stop it from touching the wound.
This level of licking wouldn't have any impact; Jinya's injured muscles would regain full tension when it was time for its return to the mountain and forest.
The woods near the Rescue Station were quite safe, with occasional appearances of small animals, like rabbits, bamboo rats, and squirrels.
Jinya frolicked in the woods for a while and even managed to bring back a plump wild rabbit.
"Ao, this is for you."
Jinya's watery eyes earnestly looked at Chen Ying, placed the dead rabbit in front of his feet, then sat obediently beside it, indicating he could eat it.
Chen Ying, caught between laughter and tears, picked up the rabbit and looked at it, then petted Jinya's head.
"Thanks for the feed, Jinya, but I can't eat it raw. How about we stir-fry the rabbit for dinner?"
Jinya didn't understand too well, tilting its head and glancing at the corner of the Rescue Station visible between the trees, seemingly grasping something.
It hopped away and darted into the woods, gone before Chen Ying could say a word.
