Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 65: Any Wolves Willing to Be a Live-in Son-in-law?
"Two chickens, one rabbit, four pounds of fresh beef. That should be enough, right?"
Little Sen helped pack them up and looked up to ask Chen Ying.
"Brother Ying, are you sure you don't want my help?"
"No need, you and Duanmu have to watch the rescue station, and Xiao Song needs to look after Little Jin. I can manage on my own. If worse comes to worst, I still have Black Bear Sister and Jinya."
Little Sen glanced at the second floor and lowered his voice.
"So, we're not going to handle Professor Song's situation?"
"No need to worry about that; Professor Song can manage on his own. Just cooperate with whatever he needs, and if you can't sort it out, seek help from Director Bai."
"Okay, I've also contacted Sister Dai, and she said they're having a meeting at the center about this issue. We can expect some leaders to come up today."
Not wanting to get involved in those troublesome matters, Chen Ying said hello to Professor Song, shouldered the food, and headed up the mountain with Jinya.
This time, they went straight to the spot where the mother wolf had been before. Sure enough, she was still there.
Her wounds were barely tended to, her fur tangled, and she was dirty all over.
When the mother wolf saw Chen Ying and Jinya approaching, she stood up and bared her teeth threateningly.
"How about we make a deal and talk things over while sitting down?"
Chen Ying tossed one of the live chickens he was carrying towards her.
The chicken: Just because I'm not under state protection, do I have no right to life?
Unfortunately, neither of the negotiating parties spared a glance at it.
The mother wolf didn't even look at the desperately flapping chicken, her cold eyes fixated on Chen Ying.
At Chen Ying's side, Jinya was struggling to restrain herself from confronting the mother wolf.
Seeing that the mother wolf wasn't eating, Chen Ying patted Jinya on the back, sending it to deal with the chicken.
Jinya rushed over, snapped the chicken's neck with one bite, dragged it aside to show off, while occasionally throwing a provocative look—a skill—at the mother wolf.
The mother wolf held back again and again but couldn't resist baring her teeth at Jinya.
Chen Ying took the opportunity to toss the other chicken to her, then sat down.
The mother wolf was greatly perplexed in her little brain.
Was this two-legged beast crazy? She's a wolf, after all. Couldn't he show some respect and be scared?
Before, she hadn't smelled the blood, which was fine, but now, as Jinya ate with such glee, the mother wolf unconsciously licked her chops, took a step forward, hesitated, and finally spent a long time looking at Chen Ying before cautiously snatching away the mother chicken, which was far more Zen than its companions.
She hid beside a tree, eating and vigilantly watching Chen Ying and Jinya.
One chicken was barely enough to stave off the mother wolf's hunger, so Chen Ying took the chance to toss a rabbit her way.
After all, having eaten a chicken, it didn't seem wrong to eat a rabbit as well.
This time, the mother wolf didn't hesitate to gulp down the rabbit.
After finishing the meal, the look she gave Chen Ying was less cold and hostile, though far from warm.
"Wolf Mother, can we sit down and talk now?"
Chen Ying waited for her to finish cleaning up before he spoke.
"I know one of my kind has hurt your child. I can't excuse his actions, but injustice has a source and debt has a debtor. I hope you won't take it out on others."
The mother wolf remained silent, turning her head away.
"Or how about you set a condition? If it's within my means, I'll agree without a second word. Like finding you a partner, perhaps?"
The mother wolf turned her head and bared her teeth at him.
"Don't be angry, I was just casually making a suggestion. If you and your husband are deeply in love, just ignore what I said."
The Wolf Mother was silent for a while before she spoke.
"I want a child."
"What about your husband?"
"He's dead, killed by the new Wolf King. That young wolf has his own Wolf Queen, so I took the child and left. But now, I've lost the child too."
Chen Ying felt a bit upset upon hearing the Wolf Mother's words.
It's very difficult for a lone wolf to survive, although it's somewhat easier for a mother wolf. The hierarchy in a wolf pack is strict. Without a Wolf Queen, the former one could still mate and reproduce.
But if there's a new Wolf Queen, other wolves in the pack are not allowed to bear their own children.
"As for the cub, I can ask the various zoos for you, see if they have a suitable male wolf for you to choose from."
"By the way, would you be open to a Wolfdog? I know the manager of a Wolfdog training base. The Wolfdogs there are very handsome and quite capable. How about I take you to see?"
Wolf Mother was not familiar with Wolfdogs and looked puzzled.
Being able to communicate was a good thing, and there weren't a few adult wolves in zoos domestically. Many zoos would arrange matchmaking for wolves, so what was wrong with helping Wolf Mother line-jump? Don't wild wolves have the right to matchmaking?
No sooner said than done.
Chen Ying was in two professional groups, one was the Veterinarian group for rescue stations across different cities, and the other was for zoo Veterinarians.
He directly took a photo of the Wolf Mother and posted it in the zoo Veterinarian group.
I'm really not a Druid: A beautiful mother wolf, the former Wolf Queen from the neighboring sanctuary, WolfMother.jpg, now officially posting a matchmaking notice. If you have a suitable wolf candidate, and are interested in meeting her, please contact Jiamu Gully Rescue Station.
The moment this message was sent, the group erupted into a buzz of excitement.
Single Thin Sleeper: Holy smokes, Brother Ying, are you branching out into animal matchmaking now? By the way, is this wolf a new rescue?
I'm really not a Druid: This wolf's mate was defeated in a battle of Wolf Kings, and the new King brought his own Queen. Due to other reasons, the Queen's cubs are also gone. The mother wolf is a bit aggressive right now, matchmaking might calm her.
Fair and Handsome Duck: Brother Ying, I heard there's a suitable breeding wolf over at Cheng Zoo, want me to ask around?
The Most Handsome Under Heaven: Why bother Cheng Zoo? What about that police dog training center near you? I heard they have several retired Wolfdogs this year. Might as well give that a shot. Wolves in the zoo, I doubt a wild wolf would care for them.
A heated debate began in the group, with each party holding onto their own views, leaving Chen Ying feeling overwhelmed.
He suddenly received two private messages on his phone.
One was from Fair and Handsome Duck, a girl responsible for treating birds.
"Brother Ying, the wolves at Cheng Zoo are quite good, I heard they want to exchange with Xiyi for two wolves to breed. My mentor is at Cheng Zoo, shall I ask for you? But I am not sure if wild wolves can breed with zoo wolves, I can't guarantee anything."
The other was from a relatively unfamiliar name.
Opening it, he found it was from a Veterinarian at a local zoo.
"Brother Ying, you might not be very familiar with zoos' breeding procedures. Wild wolves usually can't directly mate, unless it's a rescued wolf that's determined to be unable to be released back into the wild."
"Moreover, before mating, they need to be quarantined for a long period, and cohabitation might lead to uncontrollable situations. Personally, I would suggest contacting the Wolfdog base. Or ask if any zoo is willing to send a breeding wolf to your rescue center."
After thinking it over, Chen Ying also felt that his previous idea had been a bit presumptuous.
Having replied to the two private messages, he put away his phone and decided to first ask for the Wolf Mother's opinion.
If she were to go to the zoo for matchmaking, she would have to accept being kept in captivity for a period, and the offspring might not be able to return to the mountains with her.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
If she were unwilling, then they would have to widely issue a challenge, inviting contenders for a martial competition in marriage.
Wolf Mother did not seem keen to leave this place; she could only accept that her future mate meet her at the rescue station.
Fair enough, a female landlord unwilling to abandon her estate was understandable. The question was whether there was a wolf or dog willing to be the reverse-dowry son-in-law.
After pacifying the Wolf Mother and leaving the beef behind, Chen Ying returned to the rescue station with Jinya.
As he entered the courtyard before he had a chance to speak, Luo Ben charged towards him.
