Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 51 Sesame: Mom, save me

Shaking off the water, the black bear sits down to enjoy the feast.

Its unique charm evident, the street rat roams about again.

In the woods above the mountain ditch, the family of golden snub-nosed monkeys watches the black bear with vigilance.

Especially the monkey mothers with babies, who all retreat, protected by the males.

After eating the fish, the black bear carelessly tosses the bones aside, looks up at the prepared monkey family with disdain, swishes its paws, and wobbles its chubby backside towards the rescue station.

It's not actually headed for the rescue station, but as a street rat, heaven knows where it wanders each day.

Meanwhile, Little Zhi Ma was plotting to run away from home.

Previously, it wouldn't have dared, and in its eyes, Mama Bear was the best mother in the world.

But now!

After being influenced by Elder Sister Mendun'er, Little Zhi Ma had turned to the dark side.

Why did her sister get to eat only the tenderest tips of the shoots when it came to her turn, she could only eat the shoot butts?

That morning Mama Bear didn't feed her again, she was so hungry she tried to rummage through the little dining table on Mama's belly, only to be slapped rolling two somersaults away.

The confused cub thought about running away right then and there, but being too weak from hunger, it had to bow its head and go back to Mama for some food.

After eating and drinking its fill, Little Zhi Ma woke up from a nap to find Mama Bear still eating and nodding off. Wasn't this the perfect chance to run away?

Without further ado, Little Zhi Ma tumbled and ran in the direction it had eyed earlier with its plump little body.

It had already decided not to go to the rescue station. The two-legged beasts there were nice, feeding it bowl after bowl of milk, but it was too close, and they knew where Mama was—they might send it back as soon as it arrived.

It wanted to go to the bamboo valley, where, according to Elder Sister Jinya, there were plenty of bamboo rats and fresh, tender bamboo shoots, many varieties planted just for the pandas there by the two-legged beasts.

Salivating, Little Zhi Ma rolled down the ditch, which was a very energy-efficient way to travel.

However, Little Zhi Ma's sense of direction might have been slightly off, rolling northeast instead of east during its tumbling run.

By chance, the street rat was also skirting the edge of the rescue station, heading northeast.

If everything went smoothly, the two might bump into each other in another twenty minutes.

After rolling for a while, Little Zhi Ma hit a tree.

It sat down and rubbed its head, gazing up at the big tree; the urge to climb suddenly overcame it, and with a few heave-ho's, it reached the lofty branches.

The mountain breeze caressed the little bear's fur, like a soothing pat on its body, and sleepiness quickly took over its reason. Finding a comfortable spot, Little Zhi Ma started to nod off.

On the opposite side, far away, the social panda was sleeping soundly atop a tall branch.

One worried the tree might snap under its weight at any moment.

No wonder netizens say the rarity of pandas is all their own doing.

They don't consider whether their size is too much for a tree to bear.

The cold wind whistled past, and the social panda sneezed, scratching its head and yawning; it hesitated for two seconds between continuing to sleep and going down to eat but decided to keep sleeping.

But just as it was about to close its eyes, it snapped them open again.

From its vantage point, it could see the little bear on the opposite slope, and right below the tree where Little Zhi Ma was, the black bear street rat it had tangled with was clumsily trying to climb up.

The social panda's eyes glinted fiercely, baring its teeth.

Like a whirlwind, it descended the tree, charging toward the opposite hillside.

Fortunately, there was no deep ditch between the two slopes, just a connecting pass.

The panda's running speed wasn't slow, and relying on its thick skin and flesh, it plowed over like a tank; as the street rat black bear had climbed a third of the way up, the panda finally arrived at the base of the tree.

With a slap, it struck.

Black Bear was shaken down, but Sesame, perched atop the tree, was also scared into bleating.

"Bah, Mom, where are you, help!"

Hearing Little Bear cry out in a sheep's voice, Social Panda was startled for a moment, and the next, he launched a wild charge at the street rat Black Bear.

Brother Xiong was truly angered this time.

How could his group's Little Bear be bullied by a street rat, especially within its own territory? Wasn't this a slap in the face?

The two adult bears began to grapple, shaking the ground and trembling the hills with their struggle, and Sesame, startled, clung to the tree trunk amidst the chaos.

The commotion carried far, and Mama Panda, who had woken up and was searching for her child, heard her son's voice amidst the wind. Her body shook, and she woofed as she rushed in the direction of the sound.

In the Rescue Station, Little Deng finished his work and ran to the control room to join Master Zhao on duty.

"Master, look here, that's Mama Bear, right? She seems very anxious. Something's not right. Where's Sesame? How come I don't see Sesame?"

Surveillance cameras had been installed all around the Rescue Station to guard against the potential invasion of fierce animals, and now they just happened to catch the image of Mama Bear running.

Master Zhao hurriedly switched to the camera, and then had Little Deng call Yin Li and Chen Ying over.

Chen Ying glanced at the screen and immediately deployed a drone to track in the direction where Mama Bear was headed.

Minutes later, the drone sent back images. There, on a hillside five kilometers away from the Rescue Station, a Giant Panda and a Black Bear were locked in a fierce battle, and right beside them, on a tree branch, a curled-up ball of fur was trembling.

"It's Sesame. How did it end up climbing a tree here alone, away from its mother?"

Yin Li quickly grabbed his gear and called Little Deng and Master Yi, who was resting, to go check out the situation.

"I'm coming with you."

"No need, you stay here and control the drone. We'll communicate via walkie-talkie."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Little Sen's call came through.

"Brother Ying, what's happened? Mendun'er seems really unsettled, keep knocking on the gate, and now it's gone out into the yard. It looks like it wants to climb out."

It was unexpected that even at such a distance, Mendun'er could sense the fight going on.

"Try to soothe Mendun'er for now. Sesame somehow ended up alone in a gully, and now the male panda and the Black Bear are fighting. Sesame is up in a tree next to them. Mama Bear is already on her way, and Yin Li and the others are rushing there too."

Little Sen's heart tightened upon hearing this. Sesame was an understanding and adorable Little Bear. If it got hurt, he... he couldn't bear to think about what might happen.

Just then, Jinya returned, bringing a little gift, a half-caught antelope.

The antelope was a hunting prize from Leopard Sister and Brother Leopard, meant for Chen Ying to try.

Even after leaving the Rescue Station, Leopard Sister was still worried about the two-legged beast that couldn't hunt—a true cross-species affection!

Upon entering the Rescue Station, Jinya immediately sensed that the atmosphere was amiss.

She dropped the little antelope and approached Chen, nuzzling him.

"What's happened? You seem really worried."

Chen Ying looked down at Jinya and sat down, showing her the tablet screen.

"It's Sesame, this little guy somehow got separated from its mom. It's in danger now. My partners have gone to rescue it, but I don't know if they'll manage to save it in time."

Jinya looked at the screen intently, but she couldn't understand a thing.

However, she knew Sesame was that silly Little Bear, a sibling to the Giant Panda living behind them.

"I'll go help." Jinya said and ran off before Chen Ying could stop her.

Two bears, no, soon there would be three bears fighting—what was a Big Cat like you going to do, deliver yourself for dinner?

Chen Ying, worried, scrambled to his feet, not even bothering to grab his backpack, and chased after her with the tablet in hand.

As Chen Ying ran out of the Rescue Station, the usually lazy Mendun'er achieved a feat of strength and successfully climbed over the Panda House's walls.

It stood up, reached out with its paws to the tree outside the wall, and swung out like a trapeze artist, tumbling three times upon landing. Then it got up, sniffed the air, and let out a bleat as it charged toward the site of the battle.
