Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 428 This winter, there are many wanderers in the wilderness
Not long after Dao Meihua left, students from the training base opposite also evacuated one after another, and in the end only two doctoral students studying winter animals were left to guard the station.

The Animal Husbandry Bureau's station on the other side has a little more people, but their staff works in shifts, and is replaced every three months. The people who came this time will go back before the Spring Festival, and the successors will take up their posts after the festival.

They don't participate in mountain patrols, and there is really nothing to do when the weather gets cold.

Several young people sit in the yard to play online games every day, and then cook hotpot and soup together in the evening.

You know what, it’s different when you’re with the unit. The warehouse is filled with all kinds of supplies.

Every half a month, logistics personnel come to visit and bring us food, clothing and other daily necessities.

Chen Ying and the others took advantage of the situation and bought some thick winter clothes.

The big brother from the coastal area stayed in Heyuan for ten days before leaving. Before leaving, he came to see Chen Ying, held his hand, and asked him to visit his hometown.

"I can't say anything else, but I will provide food and accommodation, sea fishing and fishing trips. Big Brother will definitely arrange it for you."

People living along the coast like to travel to mountains and canyons, and people in the interior also yearn for the sea.

Chen Ying had been to the beach before. She went there with her classmates after graduating from high school. It was a budget trip, and they strolled around the free beach.

What about sea fishing and going out to sea to fish? Is that something that poor students can afford?

The elder brother's invitation was sincere and Chen Ying promised him that if they really went to the beach, she would definitely have a drink with him.

When I saw my brother off, I gave him my cell phone number and told him to tell me if he encountered any trouble on the way. I couldn't promise that I would take care of everything, but at least I could ask him to help contact a local person.

After entering October, the weather gets colder day by day.

On the third day after the National Day holiday, when I woke up in the morning, it was already white outside.

Hakimi and Xinxin returned to the cave near the management station to spend the night, and they could only be seen occasionally in the early morning and evening.

Erniu’s three cubs have started hunting, and some have even gone as far as the edge of the large fence at the first aid station to catch Tibetan foxes, plateau rabbits, and marmots.

Erniu and the big snow leopard have been protecting the children from being harmed by other wild beasts on the grassland.

Jin Yaze and Ms. Lynx work together to train the little lynx cubs and Little Gray.

Due to the mischief of a few careless children, all kinds of magical scenes can often be seen on the grassland, including but not limited to mid-air car crashes, big cats herding sheep and so on.

The aerial car crash is the signature activity of the first and second cubs, while the big cat herding is a joint project between the third girl and the two lynxes.

One day, when the Tibetan fox was preparing to hunt pika, it saw its eldest and second cubs jump up and collide violently in mid-air. It was so shocked that its mouth opened wide, and as a result, a pika rushed directly into its mouth in panic.

The eldest and second cubs were extremely envious when they saw this, and they found a place they thought was suitable, lay down, opened their mouths, and waited for the pika to come to them.

However, he waited until his jaw was almost frozen, but not a single pika fell into his mouth.

The two foxes became furious and that night they dug up the Tibetan fox's home and organized a group attack, destroying at least five fox dens.

When the snow falls, the fur balls roll a little, and the snow gets bigger.

At the end of October, the weather suddenly changed and it snowed heavily for three consecutive days.

"Brother Ying, if the snow keeps falling, the herdsmen will have a hard time this winter."

The temperature is only a few degrees during the day, and at night it is minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius, and the livestock will be frozen to death.

Even if preparations are made in advance and livestock are provided with sheds to protect them from wind and snow, the living conditions for wild animals are harsh, and they will choose domestic animals that are easier to hunt to fill their stomachs.

In previous winters, wolves and bears were the biggest threats.

Snow leopards will also enter herders' livestock sheds to kill livestock, but they usually take the prey away after killing it and will not easily attack humans.

But bears are different from wolves. In the cold winter, they need to eat or store a lot of food, so the conflict between them and the herders is irreconcilable.

When they see them coming, herders will try every means to drive them away, and sometimes fierce conflicts will cause accidental injuries.

Bears are slightly better, but wolves are particularly vengeful. If you hurt them, you should always be prepared for their revenge.

But if they are not driven away, these guys will become more and more aggressive and use the herders' livestock sheds as buffet restaurants.

Even if compensation is obtained, it will still be far from the actual loss.

It’s okay if the amount is small, but who would be willing to bear the cost if the amount is much worse? In the end, it becomes a vicious cycle.

There has been heavy snow for three consecutive days. Although there has been no news of any herders being affected, the Meteorological Bureau and the Forestry and Grassland Bureau have already issued a notice asking all villages and management stations to be prepared for frost prevention and disaster relief.

The former targets humans and livestock, while the latter requires patrolling registered wild animals.

The geological team has completely evacuated the no-man's land, and the two injured and sick students have also been taken away.

Chen Ying thought that they would not come back to continue their investigation until at least after the New Year, but within two days, half of the members had moved into the training station.

Fortunately, the wooden house was quite sturdy, and with charcoal and cow dung burning in the room, the temperature was not low.

A group of students rearranged the iron beds and concentrated them in two rooms, dividing them into male and female dormitories.

Although it feels like a large bunk bed, it is undeniably much warmer and it won't be as cold as being in an ice cave at night.

Sun Qihai and Uncle Zhaxi also live in the same room, while Chen Ying still lives alone. However, he doesn't feel cold. Instead, he often feels so hot that he wants to go for a walk in the snow.

It was nothing special. As soon as night came, several big cats appeared on his bed.

Xiao Jin, Jin Ya, and the little lynx cub would all squeeze onto the bed, and occasionally Xiao Huibai would come and rub against the quilt.

In a large cardboard box next to his bed, Red Lion and Black Gold were huddled together, and in another cardboard box were three puppies.

The nanny dog ​​slept in the doghouse with her two fox cubs, while in another corner of the doghouse, a family of desert cats huddled together into a big fur ball.

After three days of heavy snow, the sky finally cleared up and the sun shone on the white snow. It was easy to get hurt without sunglasses.

The cats continued to sleep soundly, while the dogs began their day's patrol.

Led by the Red Lion, the Paw Patrol begins their day's work.

They would run around the large fence to see if any lambs had escaped and to see if any other animals had intruded.

Just after running out for a while, two little foxes caught up with them, each holding a half-grown rabbit.

"嘤嘤嘤!"

The little fox cubs said that when they were catching rabbits, they found traces left by other animals, and the smell made the foxes uncomfortable.

"Is it a wolf?"

"I don't know. I don't know what wolf smells like."

The little fox shook his head and asked the Red Lion if he wanted to go find those guys.

Hongshi was about to nod without thinking, but was stopped by his younger brother Heijin.

The two fox cubs took a few steps back in fear at Heijin's scrutinizing gaze.

"How did you find out? Where did you find out? You usually don't want to get close to us siblings, so why did you suddenly come to us? Have you told Aunt Bubu?"

The two fox cubs were at a loss for words after the series of questions. They looked at each other, left the rabbit behind and ran away. "Why did they run away? Should we still go find those intruders?"

Heijin barked twice and looked at the rabbit that was thrown away.

It walked over, lowered its head and sniffed, then squinted its eyes and thought about it.

"Come on, I know where they caught the rabbits, let's go and take a look."

After all, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, not to mention that Red Lion and Black Gold are extremely brave Tibetan mastiffs that dare to fight bears and wolves when they grow up. Fear is not in their blood.

The five dogs ran for several minutes, and Heijin suddenly braked and lowered his head to sniff.

Tianlu and his three brothers also followed suit and sniffed.

However, the Red Lion did not do the same action. Instead, it was very alert to its surroundings.

Tianlu sniffed for a while, looked up and saw the red lion on alert. After thinking for a while, he ran behind the red lion, stood back to back with it and looked around.

"Woof woof, Brother Heijin, there is shit here!" Fugui barked twice and sniffed at the half-dried shit again and again.

The pile of shit was not completely covered by the snow and was half exposed, but it did not look fresh.

Heijin walked over, circled around the pile of shit, and finally looked up at the northeast side of the big fence.

That direction was exactly where they were going before.

The two fox cubs ran back to the nanny dog ​​and hid under her belly.

"Woof, what's wrong with you two?"

The fox cub said nothing and hid himself guiltily.

They huddled together and stared at each other.

"Oh, it's all your fault. I told you not to do it, but you insisted on doing it. You will definitely be beaten by Hei Jin later."

"Oh, you obviously agreed. You were the one who carried the shit away."

As soon as Fox Er finished speaking, Fox Da bit its ear.

"It was your idea, bah!"

The two brothers immediately fell out and started fighting.

The dog nanny watched the two dogs fighting with a smile, stood up, shook her fur, and trotted to the training station opposite.

The students there eat a lot and like to feed them. It would be nice to go and get some snacks if they have nothing to do.

The two fox cubs, who hadn't noticed that the amulet had left, rolled halfway and hit something.

Fox Er wanted to take a bite, but when he opened his mouth wide, he caught a glimpse of a face that could give foxes nightmares.

"Oh, Boss Black Gold, when did you come here?"

"Woof woof, is Xiang delicious?"

When the two fox cubs heard this, their faces fell and they lowered their heads and stopped talking.

They didn't actually want to play a trick on Heijin. They were originally targeting Hongshi. But who knew that Heijin was so smart and saw through their little tricks.

But they couldn't say this, otherwise the red lion would definitely bite them to death.

Just when the situation was at a stalemate and Heijin's eyes became increasingly dangerous, Chen Ying came over with a simple snow sled.

"Black Gold, Red Lion, come on, let's have some fun."

Although the two Tibetan Mastiffs are only three or four months old, their physiques are almost the same size as medium-sized adult dogs.

Chen Ying planned to let the two of them try to see if they could pull the sled.

It's freezing cold and there's nothing to do. How can we get through the day if we don't find some fun?

But after putting down the snow sled, Red Lion and Black Gold took a long time to come over, and Chen Ying realized that the atmosphere was not right.

Two fox cubs, three puppy cubs, and two fierce-looking mastiff puppies stood in a triangle.

But the three puppies looked a little confused, and the two mastiff puppies stared at the fox cubs as if they were going to skin and bone them and swallow them in the next moment.

Although Red Lion and Black Gold don't like foxes, they just ignore the two fox cubs that grew up at home and have never hurt them. What did the fox cubs do this time to make Black Gold, who is usually calm and not like a mastiff, get angry?
Normally, Chen Ying would not intervene in fights between animals.

And some of the smart ones in his family knew to solve problems privately and never brought them to him.

"Are you going to have a big fight? Did the fox cub do something wrong?" Chen Ying asked Heijin with a smile.

Hearing Chen Ying's question, Heijin's eyes softened a little, but were still filled with anger.

"These two guys picked up the feces of wild animals from outside and threw them near our home, and they wanted to lead us to fight with the wolves."

Chen Ying knew that among the small animals in the house, Heijin was the smartest, but he didn't expect that the two little fox cubs actually knew how to play tricks. Although they didn't succeed, the fact that they dared to think in this direction had already surpassed their two dog brothers.

Patting Heijin's head soothingly, Chen Ying told it not to be angry. Then he reached out and picked up the two fox cubs by the scruff of their necks, put them on the bed of the snow sled, squatted down and asked them why they did this.

The two little ones huddled together and trembled for a while before Fox Two mustered up the courage to point at the red lion.

"It's all because of it! It insisted that we listen to it. We disagreed, so we dug a hole outside to live alone. But it still wouldn't let us go. The day before yesterday, it snowed so heavily that it ran out and collapsed the entrance of our hole. It also made a lot of snow and tried to freeze us to death. It was my brother who held me and blocked the snow with his body, so I didn't freeze."

The red lion's eyes became increasingly confused. He looked at the two little foxes for a long time before anxiously explaining that he had not done it.

"You did it! I can smell your scent, and your fur, you're the only one that's this color!"

The little fox felt so aggrieved that tears came to his eyes.

The more anxious the red lion became, the less he could utter a complete sentence, and in the end he could only bark loudly.

At this time, the big cats in the house also gathered around, and when they heard what the little fox cub said, they all turned their eyes to the red lion.

Hongshi felt aggrieved and rushed into Chen Ying's arms, crying loudly.

I don't know when Xiao Jin came out. After listening to the little fox's complaint, he thought about it carefully and said a fair word on behalf of the red lion.

"It shouldn't be Red Lion who did something bad the day before yesterday. He ate a little too much that day and felt uncomfortable in his stomach, so he slept in the doghouse for a long time. Later, he ran to my place and hid there for a long time. He didn't come out until I called him to eat."

The red lion's expression froze, and it was a little afraid to look up. Fortunately, its fur was thick and thick, which could cover its red face.

It felt uncomfortable because it was greedy and stole the snacks that the nanny dog ​​left for the three little ones. It didn't dare to say anything, so it hid and waited for its stomach to get better. As a result, it was exposed by Uncle Xiao Jin, and its face as a red lion was finally lost.

Heijin didn't expect that his sister would have such a drama, but soon, he brought the topic back.

"Then, if it's not my sister, who is this bad guy?"

After watching the show for a while, Ms. Lynx suddenly thought of something, "Is there a possibility that the guy is a stray dog ​​with the same fur color as the red lion?"
