Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 278 The Yellow-throated Marten Poisoned for No Reason
This group of yellow-throated martens lives not far from the first aid station.

The road leading to the Rowan Valley is about one-third of the way to the northwest.

There was a slight smell coming from the dense forest, and seven or eight yellow-throated martens were lying on the grass under the tree.

Two of them had no signs of life at all, and the remaining ones were still twitching slightly.

Chen Ying put on a protective mask and gloves, took out the first aid kit and began to examine the living yellow-throated marten.

Judging from the symptoms, they are actually typical symptoms of mass poisoning.

But in the trees in the same area, there were a few younger yellow-throated martens lying on the trees and calling quietly.

Call the maintenance station for support.

Such sudden and unexpected incidents must be reported.

The bodies of dead yellow-throated martens must also be sent for inspection and any disposal will be done after the cause of death is determined.

The cat cage Chen Ying brought was not big enough, so she could only put the one in the worst condition in first.

There were two patients with milder symptoms. After being injected with medicine, their heartbeat and pupils basically returned to normal.

The little yellow-throated marten that came for help never left. It lay obediently on the tree stump and accompanied Chen Ying in treating its companion.

Uncle Zhao arrived quickly with his new partner.

In addition to treating yellow-throated martens with symptoms, they also brought special bags for animal carcasses and put the dead yellow-throated martens in them and sealed them.

"The initial suspicion is that it was poisoning, but there are other yellow-throated martens in the same group who have not been harmed, so the exact cause needs to be investigated."

This matter has to be reported to the forest police to see if it was caused by natural toxins or someone poisoned it.

But the possibility of poisoning is really small.

Chen Ying was not bragging. Several villages in their area have been extremely concerned about animal protection in the past two years. They will proactively report any situation and assist other villages in rescuing wild animals.

Besides, going into the forest to poison a group of yellow-throated martens is simply a sign of mental illness.

Chen Ying is more inclined to believe that there is something wrong with the natural environment, such as a rotting corpse contaminating the water source.

But this doesn't make sense. If the water source is polluted, it's impossible that only the yellow-throated marten would be affected.

After racking my brains for a long time, I still couldn't figure out the reason, so I could only ask Uncle Zhao and the others to send the body of the yellow-throated marten away for examination first.

With the help of Uncle Zhao and the young forest ranger, they took all the surviving yellow-throated martens to the first aid station for treatment.

The three large cages were once again full.

The next day, the stationmaster called Chen Ying personally and told her the reason why the yellow-throated martens were poisoned.

"The bodies were autopsied because they had eaten rats that had died of poisoning."

The two mice that died in the mink's stomach died from eating poisonous fruits of plants.

What is puzzling now is why the two mice ate the poisonous fruit.

After all, in summer, there are so many edible plants, fruits, roots, stems, young leaves, etc. in the forest that there is no need to seek death.

Xia Sen, who was listening nearby, said in a godly way, "Could it be that the entire family of those two mice died at the hands of these minks, and then they used themselves to poison..."

It would be a waste if I didn’t use this idea to write a novel.

But the rats were all dead, and it was impossible for them to summon their spirits to get to the bottom of things.

As long as they are sure that there is no problem with the water source and food, at least the panda people can finally feel at ease.

Chen Ying also educated the small animals around her and told them not to eat dead animals.

Especially the little bears, especially the big crescent guy, who is very curious and the most dangerous one.

For safety reasons, Chen Ying took the two little ones to find Black Bear Girl, told her about the yellow-throated marten, and asked her to keep an eye on the two children and not to even smell or lick their poop.

That’s actually what Chen Ying said, and Black Bear Girl became furious and started beating Dayueya up.

Licking shit? Go rinse your mouth now, or you can’t have another sip of milk!

Chen Ying didn't expect the black bear girl to have such a bad temper. She didn't dare to explain that she just said it casually. She took the opportunity when the black bear girl was beating her son to run away.

Jin Ya and Xiao Jin haven't gone anywhere these two days.

Apart from watching the little lynx and taking it out to the woods for activities, the rest of the time was spent lying on the platform staring at the yellow-throated martens in the three large cages in the observation room.

The hot-tempered yellow-throated marten was almost suffering from nervous breakdown due to Jin Ya's stare. As long as she was around, it didn't dare to even fart.

But whenever Jin Ya went out hunting, the group of martens would make such a fuss that it made people's blood pressure soar, and they would wish they could just throw them as far away as possible.

After three days of observation, except for the two with the most serious conditions who still need continued treatment, the others have recovered.

Chen Ying simply let them all out.

You don’t have to go too far, just put them behind the small building and you won’t be able to see them in ten seconds.

Another four days passed before the yellow-throated marten fully recovered.

Those two minks had exactly the same temperament as their companions; two minks could make as much noise as two hundred minks.

Even Jin Ya couldn't stand it anymore. She looked at the two of them with green eyes several times, opening and closing her mouth, as if she was weighing where to start biting them.

Chen Ying would not interfere with the ecological chain between animals, but he would never let Jin Ya take action in the observation room.

After making sure that the two minks had recovered and had not spent the night, Chen Ying immediately packed up the two minks and sent them away. Jin Ya even chased them for a long distance before returning as if playing a prank.

"Those things are so annoying. If you hadn't forbidden me to eat them, I would have finished them one by one."

Chen Ying scratched it with a wry smile and picked up the little lynx.

"The little guy is in good health and can start the first stage of treatment."

The report has been submitted and approved, and it will take some time for the personnel to be deployed, but the medicines and equipment were delivered yesterday.

The medicine is a registered Chinese herbal medicine, which comes from the medicine garden of Professor Bai’s partner.

Because there was only one little guy who needed treatment and the amount of medicinal materials needed was not large, they did not charge any money. They just hoped that if the treatment made progress, they could leave a name for their medicine garden in the report.

This requirement can still be met.

What Chen Ying didn't expect was that on the second day after the treatment officially started, Miss Dao actually reported in.

The young man who came with her kept stealing glances at her, not hiding the admiration in his eyes at all.

When Chen Ying saw this situation, his head ached.

That young man was the younger generation of the old leader whom Chen Ying met last time. He came to take part in the research project to enhance his resume.

This time, Miss Dao came here not as a volunteer of the Cat Alliance to participate in the rescue research, but to formally join their scientific research project.

"I have passed the doctoral examination, and my research direction is the rational application and supervision of traditional Chinese medicine. This time my teacher asked me to participate in this project. While cooperating with you, I also have to complete a small project on my own."

It is probably aimed at the use of Chinese medicinal materials in traditional Chinese veterinary treatment.

The eldest lady is here, and Chen Ying can't chase her away, but there are some problems with the room arrangement.

Originally, the young man only needed to share a room with Xia Sen, but now with the addition of a young lady, it would be inconvenient to live anywhere.

Seeing Chen Ying worried, the eldest lady coughed lightly.

"When I delivered the equipment last time, I asked someone to measure it in advance. Based on the surrounding conditions and the regulations of the Management Bureau, I planned to build another wooden house to the northeast of the small building."

This time the construction was done under a pretext, and in the name of building a research station. Even if Chen Ying wanted to object, she couldn't find an excuse.

However, Miss Dao learned from her last experience and did not really act first and report later.

"I just made a plan in advance. I originally considered that there might be more pandas to be released into the wild and introduced next year. I was afraid that you would have to build temporary houses here, which would affect the daily life of the animals, so I made some preparations."

She glanced at Chen Ying and said, "How about you take a look at the design plan first? If it doesn't work, I can stay at the maintenance station, but I need to run back and forth, which is a bit time-consuming."

Xia Sen shrank aside and dared not say a word. The other young man seemed to have come to his senses as well, and his eyes kept glancing back and forth between Chen Ying and Miss Dao.

Chen Ying pinched her nose and did not reject Miss Dao's suggestion.

Just take a look, it won't cost you anything. If it's really not suitable, he can just reject it.

The tablet opened and a design drawing unfolded.

The main structure is still the current small building and warehouse, as well as two animal sheds.

But in the spacious area on the east side, there is a building with a very unique and novel shape connected to the main building by a wooden bridge.

The building was designed in a modular style according to local conditions.

It is also a two-story building, designed to be relatively independent, and a special-shaped dormitory building connected by a wooden balcony in the middle of the second floor.

The room area is about 20 square meters, with an independent bathroom. Each room is equipped with two beds and a desk plus a small wardrobe. The two floors can accommodate four people, and the two buildings can accommodate eight people.

"If there is a research team, they can basically squeeze in and live there. You don't need to lock the door at other times."

The most important thing is that these two buildings did not harm the surrounding trees, fully adhering to the principle of adapting to local conditions.

I’m afraid the design fee is not a small amount.

The young lady didn't consider this at all and said that her sisters helped design it and it was free.

"She specializes in designing special B&Bs. She doesn't have to worry about these tasks. She can easily come up with several plans."

After the plan was finalized, designer Cao was hired to build it.

The other party is no longer responsible for local business, but he promised that he would definitely help find the most appropriate construction party to do the work, and that he would be contacted if any problems arose, and that he would be responsible to the end no matter where he was.

This made the young lady, who had originally wanted to do it all by herself, shut up and listen obediently to Chen Ying and Designer Cao finalizing the matter on the phone.

Although this kind of small building can be built very quickly, it will still take at least a month.

During this period, Miss Dao could only stay at the management station.

The younger generation of the old leader suggested that he could also stay there so that he would have someone to accompany him when he went in and out of the forest in the morning and evening.

Chen Ying nodded without comment and let them make their own arrangements.

After the accommodation problem was solved, Chen Ying took them to see the little lynx first, and sent a copy of the little lynx's medical record to each of them.

"Xiao Shen, you are mainly responsible for helping me treat the little lynx. You should familiarize yourself with the situation in the next few days and think about the treatment plan."

Chen Ying looked at the eldest lady, "As for you... the herbs needed for treatment have been put into storage. How about you help test the quality of the herbs first?"
