Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 67: Don’t Underestimate Our Bear, Swap, Got It? (Extra - )

Turn on the light.

Open the door.

A dark shadow pounced fiercely.

Chen Ying instinctively reached out to block, and the shadow took the opportunity to embrace his arm.

"Squeak, there's a Two-legged beast in the water."

The familiar voice instantly calmed Chen Ying, and upon closer inspection, he saw it was Monkey Mother.

The Little Monkey in her arms had grown quite a bit and was a handsome little fellow.

At that moment, the handsome little fellow jumped from his mother's arms onto Chen Ying and began pulling at the collar of his shirt.

"Wait, you said there's someone in the water? Which water?"

"Where the tasty fruit is. There's a big Black Bear sleeping, and in the water, there's a Two-legged beast, not moving."

Monkey Mother's ability to communicate seemed somewhat lacking, but Chen Ying understood its meaning.

Tasty fruit? Around here, only near Huaqiu Valley were there a few wild macaque peach trees.

Normally, macaque peach trees don't grow at high altitudes, but those few wild ones in Huaqiu Valley were thriving albeit with smaller fruit, eaten only by the wildlife.

The noise they made woke Duanmu in the next room, and Yin Li and the others in the building across from them also got up to check the situation.

Hearing Chen Ying's words, Yin Li called Little Deng and Master Zhao to go up the mountain with Chen Ying, while the others waited at the station for news.

Despite rushing, it still took nearly two hours to reach Huaqiu Valley.

Walking in the mountains at night was inevitably slow.

Upon reaching Huaqiu Valley and following Monkey Mother's guidance down to the bottom of the valley, they indeed found a human, face down on the bank with half their body in the water, in a stream that only appeared in summer.

The mountain wall was somewhat steep, and the four of them practically slid down sitting on the ground.

After dragging the person out of the water, Chen Ying felt his exposed skin, which was ice-cold, not like that of a living person.

Feeling the neck artery, it took a long time before a faint pulse was detectable.

"The person is still alive but suffering from severe hypothermia, warm him up first."

The rescue station had no first aid medication for human use, so they could only call for support from below the mountain.

Fortunately, the closest search and rescue team was not far from there; the center said they would arrive in the fastest half hour.

They made a fire, stripped him of his wet clothes, wrapped him in a thermal blanket, and the rest was just waiting.

"You guys stay here and watch, Uncle Zhao and I will go up a bit further to check. The center said there's another person missing; we'll see if they're in the gully above."

The bottom of the gully was difficult to navigate, with plenty of rocks, and under normal circumstances, no wildlife would walk along the gully.

In case of heavy rain, this gully could easily flood with a torrential downpour.

With steep sides, once swept away by water, there might be no chance of climbing out.

About ten minutes after Yin Li and Little Deng left, that Street rat of a Black Bear appeared shakily at the edge of the gully.

The big guy lay on the mountain wall watching them, his gaze somewhat confused as if he didn't know what they were doing in the gully, wondering if there was something tasty or fun there.

Not satisfied with just watching for a while, the Street rat slid down a bit further, found a spot where a tree branch stuck out, sat down, and occasionally gnawed at a piece of root of some unknown species—purely treating them as a side dish to enjoy with his snack.

Seeing that it had no intention to attack, Chen Ying didn't bother with it for the time being.

This one was practically becoming an old familiar bear.

Yin Li and the others returned before the rescue team did, saying they went up more than a hundred meters and didn't see anyone; further up was a waterfall about ten meters high, and without equipment, they couldn't climb it so they returned.

No sooner had they finished speaking than the rescue team also arrived.

After handing the person over to the rescue team, Chen Ying and the others prepared to return to the Rescue station.

But after only a few steps, they were stopped by the Street rat.

It gestured several times to Chen Ying, and seeing that they didn't understand, it paused, then turned and trotted into the woods.

"This bear... is it trying to become a spirit?"

As they hesitated on whether to leave first, the Street rat came back, dragging a bag in his hand.

"F*ck, this bag, it looks like a hiking backpack, doesn't it? Where did it find it?"

Chen Ying thought more deeply, wondering if the street rat knew where the unseen third person was.

Having found the bag, what about the person? Could they have already been killed by the street rat?

At this thought, Chen Ying's face turned pale in an instant.

"Give it to me, hand over the bag."

The street rat whined a few times, refusing to give it, while its other paw gestured wildly.

Chen Ying looked carefully, "Do you want to eat honey?"

The street rat nodded frantically, "Mmm, sweet, sweet, eat, want to eat."

Good lord, this was a stuttering bear!

But they had rushed over and hadn't brought any honey.

"How about this, you give me the bag first, and I'll give you a jar of honey later?"

"No, sweet, trade, trade for sweet."

It started to get impatient and began baring its teeth.

Yin Li reached out to pull Chen Ying behind him, trying to shield him.

"But I don't have any honey right now. How about you come down with me, wait there by the woods, and we'll trade?"

Little Deng listened on, dumbfounded.

"Brother Li, no way, Brother Ying can really understand what that bear is saying?"

"Are you stupid?" Yin Li looked at him with a pitying gaze, "The bear is gesturing so obviously, even I can understand."

Little Deng opened and closed his mouth, then scratched his head with a sheepish smile.

"How about I go down the mountain to get it? I'm fast, it won't take too long."

Chen Ying thought it over and agreed to Little Deng's proposal.

He also called Little Sen's group to have the honey ready, suggesting they start from both ends at the same time to minimize the delay.

Little Deng was indeed fast. An hour later, he dashed back, handed the backpack to Chen Ying, and clung to a tree, gasping for breath.

"My master said there isn't much honey left at the station, he's arranging to have some sent over, it won't arrive until tomorrow."

The honey at the station was always ordered from the Xiaozhai Village hive, sold slightly cheaper than the market price but top-notch; they rarely ate it themselves, saving most of it for supplementary feeding of the sick.

Chen Ying took out a bottle, opened it, and handed it to the street rat.

The street rat was true to its word, throwing the hiking backpack to Chen Ying and happily pouring the half a bottle of honey into its mouth.

Indeed, there isn't a bear that doesn't like honey, just like there isn't a panda that won't succumb to a bowl of milk.

Yin Li turned on the phone camera as Chen Ying started to search through the backpack.

They pulled out many things, but none helped to identify the owner.

"We'll have to send this video to the director and others first, see if the owner's friends can identify them."

Aside from the video of rummaging through the bag, they also took a photo of their current location, packaged it up, and sent it to Director Bai and the Jiamu Gully Police Station.

Chen Ying tried to get the street rat to lead them to the place where it found the bag, but the street rat ignored him, contentedly licking the honey and humming happily.

(After honey, a puff of smoke, feeling as blissful as the immortals).

This damn bear, it was really asking for a smack!

Since they couldn't get the street rat to cooperate, they had to think of another plan.

Luckily, he had the big backup of the monkey troop.

Returning to Huaqiu Valley, Chen Ying found Brother Monkey, traded a bag of fruit, and asked Brother Monkey and his brethren to help search the area.

Looking at the pile of human trash heaped up by the monkeys in the clearing, Chen Ying's expression started to crack.

This mountain, it wasn't clean anymore!
