Forest Ranger: Help! A golden eagle cub is relying on me

The heavy snow, this white disaster that seemed to swallow up the entire world, finally showed signs of fatigue after lasting for a full half month.

The sky was no longer the dull lead-gray color. A long-lost, pale but tenacious ray of sunlight pierced through the thick clouds with difficulty and sprinkled on this vast land covered in silver, forming a dividing line of hope with the endless haze before.

No new snowflakes accumulated on the window frames of the wooden house. The icicles condensed under the eaves reflected tiny rays of light in the weak sunlight, which was in stark contrast to the dim light in the house.

Chen Chuan woke up to the chirping of birds. The clear sound carried the joy of surviving a disaster, forming a sharp contrast with the howling wind and snow in recent days.

He opened his eyes and took a while to adjust before he could see the scene inside the room clearly. Every muscle in his body was still clamoring with fatigue, forming a subtle tug with the slight sense of relaxation in his mind.

Fantong and Dahuang could no longer hold back and paced back and forth at the door of the house, whimpering softly with excitement in their throats, which was completely different from the silence when they had huddled in the corner before.

"Got it, got it. I'll let you out right now."

Chen Chuan's voice was still a little hoarse. He struggled to get up. The slight sound coming from the joints of his bones and the crisp sound of birds singing outside the window were two different rhythms.

Pushing open the heavy door of the wooden house, a breeze mixed with the freshness of snow and the fragrance of earth blew in his face. The cool touch made his confused mind clear a little, forming a sharp contrast with the slightly stuffy air in the house.

Looking around, the whole world is covered with a thick, soft layer of white snow. Everywhere you look, it is pure white. The tranquility and magnificence and the vitality hidden underneath form a unique picture.

"My God, the whole world changes when it snows."

"It's so beautiful, but also so dangerous. If you get lost, there's no one to turn to. It's so different from the sense of security in the city."

"Anchor, I can finally get out and take some fresh air. This live broadcast of the snow scene is more real than any filter, and is completely different from those posed landscape photos."

After a brief moment of exclamation, the comments in the live broadcast room quickly became lively. The hustle and bustle from modern civilization and the original tranquility before the eyes formed a wonderful resonance.

Big Bear, Second Bear and Little Blackie also came out from their respective corners. They shook off their thick fur and some remaining snow. Their huge bodies left a series of deep footprints in the snow, which formed a contrast in size with the brisk steps of Fantong and Dahuang.

They sniffed the fresh scent in the air and made satisfied gurgling sounds in their throats. It was obvious that this long-awaited opportunity to get out for some fresh air had put them in a very good mood, which was completely different from the restlessness they had felt when they were trapped in the house before.

Chen Chuan picked up the shovel leaning against the corner and began to clear the accumulated snow in the yard. His movements were not fast, and he showed some weakness after his illness, which was in contrast to his usual efficiency in working.

The shovel collided with the snow, making a "crunching" sound, which was particularly clear in this quiet morning after the snow, and was a different sound source from the occasional low growls of animals.

"In another month, it will be almost spring."

Chen Chuan spoke to the drone camera, the exhaled white air quickly condensed in the cold air and then dissipated. This short-lived phenomenon formed a temporal contrast with the long change of seasons.

His eyes were looking towards the distant mountains still covered with snow. His anticipation for spring flowers to bloom formed a strong yearning for the snowy land before him.

He shoveled the snow in the yard into the corner, revealing a compacted layer underneath. The color of the layer was slightly darker, different from the pure white of the new snow.

The animals were having fun in the cleared space. Fantong was chasing his tail, Xiong Er was trying to pat the falling snow with his clumsy paws, and Xiao Heizi was walking gracefully, examining the brand new territory. Their joy formed a contrast with Chen Chuan's hard work.

After finally clearing a walkable path in the yard after clearing the snow, Chen Chuan straightened up and pounded his aching back. The subtle movement was somewhat inconsistent with his tall stature.

His eyes fell on the tall Bodhi tree in the center of the yard. The thick branches were covered with heavy snow, like a huge white canopy. The static beauty and the occasional falling snow posed a potential danger.

"No, we have to get the snow off the tree, or it will hit someone."

Chen Chuan muttered to himself, frowning slightly. His concern for safety and his tired state at the moment formed a sense of responsibility.

He looked at the three giant bears who were doing nothing, his heart moved, and an imperceptible curve appeared at the corner of his mouth, which was slightly different from his previous solemnity.

"Big Bear, Little Bear, Little Blackie, come here!"

Chen Chuan waved his hand. His voice was not loud, but it carried unquestionable majesty, which was different from his usual gentle tone.

Upon hearing the sound, the three giant bears immediately came running over. Their huge heads were lined up in front of Chen Chuan. Their small black bean-like eyes showed inquiries, which formed a contrast with their huge bodies.

Chen Chuan pointed to the Bodhi tree.

"You three, go up and clear the snow off that tree for me."

The command was simple and direct, somewhat rough compared to the patience he normally displayed when communicating with animals.

The three giant bears looked at each other, seemingly not understanding their master's intentions. Their puzzled expressions were consistent with their usual simplicity.

Xiong Er was the first to react. He let out an excited growl, and his large, fan-like hands had already clawed at the thick tree trunk. His impatient look was completely different from his usual lazy temperament.

Big Bear was not to be outdone. He let out a dull roar from his throat, as if responding to Second Bear's challenge. He chose the other side of the tree and began to climb up. His steady movements contrasted with Second Bear's impatience.

Little Blackie was silent. With a light leap, it grabbed hold of a lower branch and then quickly moved upwards like an agile black panther. Its agility formed a surprising contrast with its huge size.

The three huge creatures scrambled to climb up the Bodhi tree. Their huge weight made the thick branches creak, which was in conflict with the toughness of the tree itself.

They shook their branches and patted the accumulated snow with their thick paws. For a moment, it seemed as if a small snowstorm was happening under the Bodhi tree. Snow foam was flying and falling, which was completely different from the tranquility after the snow just now.

What was originally a task of clearing snow had unknowingly turned into a unique competition among these three competitive guys to see who could clear more snow and who could climb higher. Their seriousness was in stark contrast to their usual nonchalant and playful nature.

From time to time, Bear Two roared with pride, while Bear Big showed off his strength with more steady movements. Although Little Blackie didn't say a word, he was not slow at all in clearing the snow. This silent competition was slightly different from their usual harmonious coexistence. Chen Chuan leaned on the shovel, watching the three funny guys "making a fuss" on the tree. The haze on his face caused by fatigue was diluted by this interesting scene, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious, forming a relaxed transition from his previous seriousness.

Chen Chuan leaned on the shovel, watching these three funny guys "making a fuss in heaven" on the tree. The gloom on his face caused by fatigue was diluted a lot by this interesting scene, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious, forming a relaxed transition from his previous seriousness.

Every time Big Bear shook the tree steadily, it brought down a large pile of snow. The momentum was completely different from its usual cautious steps.

Xiong Er seemed to be using brute force to hit it, causing snow foam to splash everywhere, and occasionally there were some tiny icicles, the movement formed a sharp contrast with Xiao Heizi's deft shaking off.

"Crash-"

The accumulated snow poured down from the branches of the Bodhi tree like pearls that had broken off a string. The sound was so loud that it was completely different from the tranquility after the snow had cleared.

In the yard, several snow leopard cubs and red fox cubs that had just been let out for the wind were looking at this new silver world with curiosity. Their timidity echoed the fresh air after the snow had just melted.

This sudden "artificial snowfall" instantly attracted their attention. In their eyes, the falling snowballs seemed to be toys falling from the sky, which was a different kind of fun from the dead leaves they usually chased.

A snow leopard cub tilted its furry little head, its sapphire eyes fixed on a ball of snow that was about to fall. Its focused expression formed a lovely contrast with its tiny body.

A snowball fell with a "puff" sound not far in front of it, splashing a fine snow foam. It jumped back in fright, then moved forward curiously and sniffed with its little nose. That cautious reaction was different from its previous shock.

On the other side, a few red fox cubs appeared more daring. They jumped and shuttled in the gaps between falling snow blocks. Their fiery red fur was particularly bright against the backdrop of the white snow. Their agile figures formed a strong visual contrast with the thick snow.

They seemed to be playing a thrilling game of avoidance. Every time they successfully avoided a block of snow, they would let out an excited "chirp" sound. That joy was completely different from the embarrassment of their fur occasionally getting wet by the snow foam.

"Hahaha, these little guys are so cute. The way they dodge snowballs is even more exciting than Olympic gymnastics, which is totally inconsistent with their fragile appearance."

"The tilted head of the baby snow leopard melted my heart. It is in stark contrast to its bloodline as the king of the snow mountains."

"I also want to join them in playing, but unfortunately I can only do so through a screen. This virtual sense of participation is different from the real touch."

The comments in the live broadcast room were full of joy, and the enthusiasm of the audience formed a warm contrast with the ice and snow.

Just then, Da Huang, holding half a piece of golden egg yolk pie in his mouth, slowly came out of the house, wagging his tail. He squinted his eyes, as if looking for a good place to sunbathe. His leisurely posture was in stark contrast to the lively atmosphere of the bear and his cubs in the yard.

It finally found a small piece of open space in the corner that was blessed by the sun, and was just about to lie down to enjoy this rare warmth, which was different from its usual habit of lying anywhere.

"Boom——"

A huge snowball that was roughly shaken down by Xiong Er, carrying with it broken small branches, fell from the sky like a small avalanche. The sound was terrifying, and of a different order of magnitude from the scattered snow blocks just now.

As luck would have it, the snowball hit the spot chosen by Dahuang accurately, instantly covering its yellow figure completely, leaving only a small tip of its tail trembling slightly outside the snow pile. The funny scene formed a strong sense of drama with its previous comfort.

After a brief silence, the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room burst into an overwhelming "Hahahaha". The level of joy formed a gloating contrast with the fate of Dahuang being buried.

"Da Huang: I just want to bask in the sun, why am I always the one who gets hurt? This luck is totally inconsistent with his usual behavior of relying on others for power!"

"Precise strike, Xiong Er's assist, I give it full marks, it's completely different from his simple and honest bear character!"

"Please calculate the psychological shadow area of ​​Da Huang at this moment. This is a world of difference from the happiness he feels when he holds the egg yolk pie in his mouth."

The snow pile shook a few times, and then exploded with a "bang". Dahuang crawled out of it, covered in dust and snow foam and broken branches. His miserable appearance was completely different from his usual majestic demeanor.

It shook off the snow on its body, still holding the flattened and deformed egg yolk pie tightly in its mouth, and made a low "woooo-woo" growl in its throat, as if it was cursing and accusing something. The exasperated tone of its voice was completely different from its usual steady barking.

Just when Dahuang was about to settle the score with the three culprits, a faint flapping sound suddenly came from the snow pile under his feet. The tiny movement was of different volume from his angry roar.

Dahuang's ears stood up alertly, he lowered his head and sniffed the loose snow with his nose. The anger in his eyes was gradually replaced by a hint of confusion, which contrasted with his previous rage.

It carefully used its front paws to dig away the floating snow, and a shivering bird with messy feathers appeared before its eyes. The fragile life formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding icy environment.

Dahuang was stunned for a moment. He looked at the little bird that was almost frozen to death, then raised his head to look at the three giant bears still making trouble in the tree. The cursing in his throat stopped unconsciously. The sudden silence was completely different from his previous noise.

It lowered its head and very gently picked the bird out of the snow. Its movements were cautious in a way that did not match its rough appearance. Then it turned around and trotted over to Chen Chuan, placing the bird gently on the snow at his feet. The look in its eyes that was seeking credit was completely different from the guilty conscience it usually had when it made a mistake.

Chen Chuan put down the shovel, squatted down, and his eyes fell on the dying bird. Most of its feathers were snow-white, with only a little black dotted on the wing tips and tail feathers. It was small in size, similar to a sparrow, but at this moment it seemed more fragile, and the breath of life formed a weak struggle against the cold snow.

"Is this... a snow bunting?"

There was a hint of surprise in Chen Chuan's eyes. This kind of bird usually lives in the tundra area of ​​the far north. It is rare to appear here. This unexpected discovery is different from his daily patrol experience.

Almost at the moment he finished speaking, a familiar mechanical prompt sounded in his mind. The cold voice and the slight warmth in his heart at this moment formed a fusion of technology and nature.

[Ding! Successfully unlocked the rare bird illustration: Snow Bunting. ]

[Snow Bunting: A bird of the family Passeriformes, it inhabits the Arctic tundra, rocky mountains, coasts, and sparse grasslands. Congratulations to the host, you have received a special reward: a slight increase in cold resistance.]

A subtle warm current slowly rose from his body, dispelling some of the discomfort caused by days of fatigue and low temperatures. This sudden comfort was a subtle relief from his previous fatigue. (End of this chapter)
