Northeast Golden Gradient Treats My Home as a Confinement Center

Chapter 103 Believe in science!
The reason why this type of "rare disease" in red-crowned cranes is so difficult to treat is that there is no known cause.

The forest ranger station where Deng Sen works rescued an injured red-crowned crane in the wild a few months ago.

At that time, the red-crowned crane was very weak and could not eat for several days. The ranger carefully examined its body and found no wounds or signs of poisoning.

The red-crowned crane just lay on the ground, wailing weakly, and died suddenly after a night.

At first, Lao Deng and Dali thought that the death of the red-crowned crane was an accident. Although they didn't find the cause, it was already dead, so they had to bury it on the spot. After reporting to the Municipal Forestry Bureau, they buried it on the spot under the guidance of the Forestry Bureau.

But in the following months, more red-crowned cranes were found in the wild, all with the same symptoms: they refused to eat or drink, and were unable to feed. They died suddenly after one night.

Huling Station reported the discovery to the higher authorities. The red-crowned crane is a national first-class wild protected animal. Accidents happened one after another, so the municipal bureau attached great importance to the matter and reported it to the higher authorities.

The province ordered the forest protection station to transport the red-crowned crane carcasses to the provincial research institute for autopsy and analysis to find out the cause of the disease.

Finally, experts from the provincial research institute discovered that these red-crowned cranes were suffering from a serious "intestinal obstruction" disease.

This type of "intestinal obstruction" can cause intestinal necrosis, intestinal perforation, acute abdominal infection, and sudden death of the red-crowned crane.

Now that the cause of the disease has been found, the next time the red-crowned cranes get sick, they can prescribe the right medicine. However, experts have also discovered that this type of disease is too rare in wild animals. It is the first time they have encountered it, so they have no idea where to start and are unable to tackle this type of disease for the time being.

When this news spread overseas, foreigners inevitably ridiculed Chinese veterinarians and suppressed the veterinary system that had been established with great difficulty by our domestic predecessors.

Therefore, Deng placed his hopes on this group of top experts from the imperial capital.

The Imperial Capital is the capital of China, where the best veterinary experts in the country gather. If even the experts in the Imperial Capital cannot solve this "rare disease", the red-crowned crane population will be in danger in the future!
As the number of sick individuals increases and there is no cure, the "National No. 1" red-crowned crane population is even at risk of extinction!
The Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Forestry attach great importance to this matter, and have gathered so many top experts for this purpose, just to conquer this "rare disease" and save the national bird population!

"Xiao Li, drive faster, why are you driving so slowly!"

In the back seat of the car, Deputy Director Wei frowned, looked dissatisfied, and scolded.

He can act like a grandson in front of the experts from the capital, but in front of the driver Xiao Li and the forest ranger Lao Deng, he is still the second-in-command of the Municipal Forestry Bureau with monstrous power.

Xiao Li is the exclusive driver of the Forestry Bureau. He heard the deep meaning in Deputy Director Wei's words. It seemed that he was urging him to drive faster, but in fact he was warning him not to tell anyone about what happened today, otherwise he would offend him!
"Old Deng." The driver Xiao Li winked at Deng Sen who was sitting in the passenger seat. The latter understood and nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.

Old Deng was not stupid. He could not afford to offend these officials. As for what happened today, he naturally kept his mouth shut and did not mention a word to outsiders.

"By the way, I heard about that Muzi Village..." After smoking half a cigarette, Gou Dongxi seemed to have thought of something and asked curiously.

"Muwu Village." Deputy Director Wei corrected with a respectful look on his face.

"Oh yes, it's called Muwu Village." Gou Dongxi nodded and flicked off the ash.

"I heard that there is a young man in your wooden house village who raised a tiger?"

As he spoke, the veterinary expert from the imperial capital's eyes fell intentionally or unintentionally on Deng Sen who was sitting in the front passenger seat.

"A young man who raised tigers? It seems like that happened. I remember Lao Deng came to the province specifically to apply for funding for him..."

Deputy Director Wei also looked at Lao Deng and asked:
"Old Deng, is this true?"

Hearing the question, Lao Deng remained calm and spoke quickly:
"Yes, it happened. His name is Shen Xing, and he just came back from a big city."

"Oh, you came back from the big city?" Gou Dongxi became interested.

"How come you're raising a Siberian tiger after returning from a big city?"

"It was pure coincidence. Shen Xing and his father went up the mountain and rescued a tiger cub. Then the mother tiger was spiritual and placed the cub in his home for foster care."

Old Deng hurriedly explained to the experts from the capital. "The tigress took the initiative to place her cub in his home for foster care?" Gou Dongxi crossed his legs and casually threw the cigarette in his hand out the window.

"The wild Siberian tigers in Changbai Mountain rarely get close to humans, but they will actually take the initiative to place their cubs in human homes for foster care. This is a great discovery!" Gou Dongxi became very interested.

"The tigress didn't attack the villagers after she came down the mountain?" Gou Dongxi continued to ask.

"As far as I know, no. Tigress seems to listen to Shen Xing very much. She only goes to his house every time she goes down the mountain."

Old Deng thought for a moment, then continued:

"By the way, the tigress has another unusual behavior!"

"What?" Deputy Director Wei asked curiously.

"The tigress will take the initiative to bring prey to Shen Xing."

"What!" Gou Dongxi was surprised.

He is an expert who has been immersed in veterinary medicine for many years and graduated from a top 2 overseas veterinary school. He is very clear about the habits of animals. According to the temperament of the wild Siberian tigers in Changbai Mountain, it is absolutely impossible for them to take the initiative to share their prey with other wild animals, let alone humans.

Gou Dongxi is an atheist. He only believes in science and does not believe in ghosts, gods, or the idea that all things have spirits.

He suspected that Shen Xing had already known the tigress, and only in this way would the tigress take the initiative to bring him prey.

"Deputy Director Wei, if I remember correctly, individuals are not allowed to keep wild animals?"

Gou Dongxi changed the subject and looked at Deputy Director Wei of the Municipal Forestry Bureau who was sitting next to him.

Deputy Director Wei smiled awkwardly and looked at Old Deng meaningfully.

"It is not allowed. Lao Deng just applied for the formalities with our city's forestry bureau, but the formalities have not yet been approved."

Hearing this, Old Deng's heart sank.

From what Deputy Director Wei said, the bureau doesn't agree with Shen Xing raising a tiger...

However, Old Deng also knew that this was just Deputy Director Wei's polite words to deal with the experts from the imperial capital.

If I go back and talk to my old classmates again, they may still agree.

Firstly, it was not Shen Xing's original intention to raise tigers. This was a wild Siberian tiger that came to his door. By raising tiger cubs, Shen Xing can help the forest ranger station observe the tigers' temperament and eating habits, which can provide parameter data for protecting the wild Siberian tiger population in Changbai Mountain, which is very helpful.

Secondly, even if the bureau disagrees with Shen Xing raising a tiger, there is nothing they can do about it. They can't just take a shotgun and drive the tiger away from Shen Xing's house, right?

Moreover, the adult tigress was very well-behaved and had been well-educated by Shen Xing, so she did not harass the villagers.

Based on this point alone, there is no reason for Old Deng not to support Shen Xing in raising tigers.

"But fortunately, I was able to help Shen Xing apply for financial subsidies and technical funds this time, so I can say that I have accomplished my mission with honor."

As Old Deng was deep in thought, Expert Gou, who was sitting in the back of the car, spoke again:

"I heard that this kid named Shen Xing is a veterinarian?"
