Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 272 - Old Gao Slipped
Chapter 272 -272 Old Gao Slipped
The girl reacted quickly by squatting down to dodge, while Yin Li intercepted in mid-air with quick eyes and hands.
“Sand fox? A pair?”
He had just caught one sand fox when another was netted, scampering around.
Both foxes were stuffed into a cage and continued to hiss at people, making threatening sounds.
Yin Li didn’t have time to put on gloves, luckily, he was only grazed by the hind claws, leaving two bloody marks; the sand fox bit his clothes but didn’t penetrate, leaving four white spots.
Xiao Song quickly pulled Yin Li to receive treatment for the accidental injury.
Although the injury on his hand didn’t look serious, the skin was broken, and since it was caused by a fox, he still needed to get rabies vaccination and passive immunization for rabies.
Chen Ying put the lynx back, allowing it to lie down and rest peacefully, before turning to observe the two sand foxes.
The last time he saw a sand fox, it was just a fleeting glimpse by the roadside. This time, the opportunity to observe them up close was rare, and he couldn’t help but take an extra look.
The pair of newly adult sand foxes showed slight differences in size, and from certain angles, one could clearly distinguish their genders.
Chen Ying habitually began reporting his observations, and an assistant beside him quickly took out a paper and pen to record them.
“Give me the measuring tape; I want to measure their body length and girth.”
He skillfully reached into the cage, grabbed a sand fox by the back of its neck, and lifted it out effortlessly.
In the adjacent room was an operating table. He placed the fox on it, gently patted its bottom, and the confused sand fox lay down, as docile as dough.
The same procedure was applied to the other fox; it was routine for the staff at the Protection Station, but the inspection team exchanged glances.
Was this the skill of the rumored “Druid Chen”?
Duanmu Fei’s girlfriend’s eyes reddened with envy.
After wiping his hands, Chen Ying had the assistant send the two sand foxes to the isolation room, and then he introduced himself to the leaders of the inspection team.
“Director Yin mentioned that Dr. Chen is very skilled. I wonder if Dr. Chen would be interested in working with us.”
Chen Ying quickly mentioned that he still had projects unfinished in Jiamu Gully, and his leaders also planned to assign him other tasks this year. His temporary transfer time was almost up, and he was preparing to return to his original unit.
The leader of the inspection team knew that it wasn’t possible to recruit him just like that.
But Chen Ying’s abilities had made a mark in his mind, prompting him to consider the possibility of collaborating on some projects in the future.
It was common in their industry to work on joint research projects.
Their rescue center often collaborated with professors from certain universities.
Hosting the leaders was Director Yin’s responsibility. Chen Ying found an excuse to leave, taking another look at Duanmu’s rumored girlfriend.
Earlier, when people were standing here, this girl stood somewhat behind. The sand fox didn’t attack anyone else, it targeted her directly, clearly having chosen its target.
Chen Ying had never seen someone so disliked by animals.
He had wondered if the girl might have some scent on her, but he had passed by her deliberately a few times and was sure she wore no perfume.
Even his sensitive nose didn’t catch any scent; it definitely wasn’t because of any smell.
There was only one explanation; she was naturally unsuited for contact with small animals!
After he finished his work and returned to the front office building, Xiao Song and Yin Li had already seen off the people from the inspection team and were walking back to the office.
Near the window, Ji Xin was chatting on his phone, fingers flying across the screen.
After archiving the sand foxes’ files and arranging for an assistant to conduct routine blood and fecal exams for them, Chen Ying planned to pack up and return to Jiamu Gully.
Lynx had already arranged the medication for her brother, and it would take about three months to see any effect.
By then, he had almost settled things in Jiamu Gully and was coming back to visit Er Niu, which would be the perfect time to adjust the medication based on the recheck results.
Yin Li knew he couldn’t stop worrying about the little cubs at Jiamu Gully.
Not just Chen Ying, even he missed Mendun’er, Great Bai and Jiao Jiao.
Also, although Jinya didn’t often play with him, once she got clingy, her coquettish skills were too much for Yin Li to handle.
“I definitely won’t be able to return this year, I’ll see if I can take vacation after the new year’s. When you go back, take some photos for me.”
Yin Li earnestly advised.
“Especially the little cubs, I haven’t even met them yet.”
“Don’t worry, when you come back next new year, the cubs still won’t have left, you can see them to your heart’s content.”
Turning his head, he looked at Xiao Song.
“Do you want to come with me to the center to meet Duanmu? You two came here to get married easily, but instead you ended up in a long-distance relationship, Duanmu must be sick of it.”
“Who cares, I think it’s quite good here.” Xiao Song stashed her hands in her pockets, stubborn as a dead duck.
Ji Xin fervently nodded alongside, “Exactly, if my brother can’t part with her, he should be the one to come and look for Sister Xiao Song, why should Sister Xiao Song accommodate him?”
Chen Ying patted his head, “Get lost.”
Ji Xin pouted and grumpily went off to browse with his camera.
Chen Ying spoke some heartfelt words to Xiao Song, about comradeship from their past. He couldn’t control whether she listened, but he still hoped they would end up well.
The topic was a bit annoying, and Chen Ying didn’t dwell much on it.
He just wasn’t the preachy type, not to mention the fact that he wouldn’t bother if they weren’t colleagues who got along well for a year.
Before he had finished speaking, Yin Li’s phone rang, it was Duanmu calling.
Yin Li raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xiao Song before answering.
“Why’d you think to call me today? Did Xiao Song block you?”
“Brother Li, is Brother Ying there? I couldn’t reach him on his phone. Dr. Gao had an accident, Little Sen called me, ask Brother Ying to call him back.”
“Dr. Gao had an accident?” Yin Li’s expression changed, and he immediately passed the phone to Chen Ying.
“This is Chen Ying, what’s the matter?”
“Brother Ying, I’m not sure about the details, but just now, Little Sen called me and said Eldest Brother Gao fell off a cliff from the mountain, he’s seriously injured now, and he’s lost sensation in his lower half. He’s been taken to the hospital for emergency treatment, the specifics are still unclear.”
Little Sen alone at the protection station couldn’t possibly check on Old Gao, and was extremely anxious at the moment.
After hanging up, Chen Ying called Little Sen, learning that Old Gao and others were doing their final evacuation when they spotted a leopard cat exhibiting abnormal behavior.
“Eldest Brother Gao probably wanted to check on the situation, but just as he climbed up, the cat suddenly jumped to attack him, he slipped and fell.”
It wasn’t just a fall, he rolled down and struck the rocks below on the slope, damaging his spine, temporarily losing sensation in his lower body.
Whether it was a bone issue or nerve damage, the hospital had not yet provided a response.
Chen Ying then called a classmate who was with Old Gao in the mountains, who picked up only to say that he was still in the emergency room and might be paralyzed from the waist down.
Unable to sit still any longer, Chen Ying hurriedly booked a flight back.
Xiao Song drove, taking Ji Xin along to send Chen Ying to the center, after which Duanmu took a few days off at the last minute, and flew back with Chen Ying to visit Old Gao.
