Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 135: Jackals at the Door (Wealth at the Door?)

"If Little Jin and Jinya hadn't jumped out, that fox would have ended up as a meal for the jackals."

Although they were protected animals, emotionally, everyone could quite well accept various big cats, and most of the canine family as well.

But jackals, with their bad reputation and lack of pickiness in diet, used to be one of the creatures that people would definitely kill on sight in the past.

"The Forest Station has issued a notice to each village to be on alert. The Forest Police are also looking into where the jackals have gone. I was thinking of you up in the mountains, surrounded by no neighbors, worried that you might not be aware of the situation and face danger."

"No worries, it's safe enough here, with several big cats, not to mention the black bear and the giant panda, hardly any wild animals dare to come close."

Sister Dai's call hadn't ended when Little Deng and Master Zhao came over.

"Brother Ying, Brother Li, Eldest Brother Gao. Brother Li asked us to inform you that there are jackals spotted nearby, so everyone needs to be cautious."

To cope with the danger, patrol in the forest now required teams of two for safety.

Little Deng and his team had a heavy task, they needed to circle around this area, and for deeper parts of the forest, drones were necessary.

"I and Uncle Yi will go from the left to the right, my master brought another disciple, circling from the right, then diagonally covering this area before heading back to the Protection Station."

The patrol routes in the forest are now pre-planned, with devices automatically set for location.

If any problem arises en route, just take photos and submit them. The Protection Station's backend or the forest manager would provide a solution immediately.

The more powerful the intelligent system, the greater the security for the forest patrol officers.

Little Deng and his team hurried in and left just as quickly.

Dr. Gao fiddled around for a while and installed several cameras in the forest.

His project was well-funded, and when it came to buying cameras, he bought them in bulk.

Chen Ying was a bit worried, because jackals hold grudges, and the strong scent of the big fox was impossible to hide. If they really showed up, he felt he could do nothing but defend reactively.

As he was worrying, Great Bai and Jiaojiao waltzed back.

This couple had abandoned Leo and ran off to enjoy time alone—used to come back twice in three days, now it's once a week.

"Great Bai, Jiaojiao, don't rush to go out these next few days."

Seeing Great Bai, Chen Ying suddenly felt reassured.

Pandas don't eat jackals, a single bear couldn't fight off a group of them. But he had two, not to mention the street rat.

Raising a bear for a thousand days, using it when needed.

The street rat had caused so much trouble eating his honey, it owed him compensation.

When he found the street rat, the two bears were sleeping in a rock cave near the Bear Garden.

"Help me out, please. Recently, a group of jackals have run up here. Help me drive them away, I'll give you a basket full of fruits and carrots."

The street rat hadn't really eaten carrots, but its girlfriend had at the Bear Garden.

Chen Ying pulled out about ten washed carrots from his backpack and passed them, with the young female bear snatching two and stuffing them in her mouth first.

Crunchy with a sweet taste.

Local carrots were reddish and thinner, very different in taste from the thick, red-yellow carrots from other places.

Jiaojiao and Great Bai loved the local carrots even more.

People online said that the yellow carrots from New Province were very sweet and delicious, their local pilaf must be made with this type of yellow carrot to taste authentic. Chen Ying had even ordered fifty kilos online, intending to improve the diet for Jiaojiao's family.

Golden rule: soften the mouth, shorten the hands.

The street rat and its girlfriend discussed it and then decided to move to a small house nearby to live.

The young female bear had recently taken an interest in Black Bear Sister and often sneaked around to watch her, learning how other bears tidy up their dens.

As they walked back, one human with two bears, Chen Ying went over again to remind Miss Bear.

Black Bear wasn't afraid of the jackals, but they were annoying, and they always came in groups. Besides, Miss Bear was pregnant and couldn't fight freely.

Having tricked the street rat into staying nearby, Chen Ying felt somewhat relieved.

Thus, peacefully, three days passed by—Little Jin hadn't returned, and Jinya had searched for her for two days but hadn't found her, refusing to go out on the third day; she lay on the big tree beside the warehouse, melancholically looking at the sky.

Red Fox stopped receiving fluid infusions after two days but needed its dressing changed daily. The wounds would likely heal in about a week, and the rest would depend on time to heal.

Once able to get down, Red Fox no longer accepted being fed.

It hunted on its own, and though it was a struggle, it made quite a catch.

Rabbits, rodents, and a nearby group of pheasants and hazel grouses weren't safe from the fox's jaws.

Despite the hardship, its belly was still filled.

Red Fox seemed to realize it needed human help. It went out every morning and returned on time for its medication change, and it even buried its excrement.

Each night, it rested in the Animal Shed next to the big monkeys, making itself a nest with soft twigs and grass stems.

Chen Ying and the rest were dumbfounded when they saw this. After all, they had never heard of a fox making its own nest; they usually took over abandoned dens or shamelessly squeezed into one with others.

The cameras in the Animal Shed recorded the entire process of Red Fox making its nest. When Chen Ying sent the video to Professor Bai, within five minutes, it was shared with a teacher who specialized in fox research.

The teacher didn't hesitate and called Chen Ying, firmly asking him for access to the cameras of the Animal Shed for around-the-clock observation.

In return, the teacher generously donated a batch of supplies to Chen Ying's small emergency rescue station and shelter, including surgical tools for animals and specially formulated nutritious food.

As for medications, Chen Ying trusted his own slightly more. After all, of the medical recipes given by the system, he hadn't thoroughly researched even a fraction of them.

From this portion alone, he had organized several promotable medicine recipes to be exclusively operated by the teacher's team.

Without this income, he really couldn't afford to run an independent personal emergency station and animal shelter.

"Old Chen, Little Sen, come quickly, the White-collared Kingfisher's egg is hatching."

Chen Ying and Little Sen heard this and dropped what they were doing to run upstairs.

They dared not go directly to the Bird House to watch but hovered around the computer display, observing the chick's hatching process through the camera.

"Geez, the chicks that hatch are so ugly."

Little Sen disdainfully complained, and Dr. Gao slapped him on the back.

"Speak kindly. This bird is quite excellent; when you were born, you also looked like a little red monkey."

Little Sen pursed his lips and didn't dare to make a sound.

But actually, compared to the chicks of the Long-striped Small Owl, the White-collared Kingfisher's chicks truly looked quite elegant.

Bird father and Bird mother patiently waited for the chick to hatch, then brought food to feed them.

"Alright, alright, it's done; go back to your work."

After sharing the scene of the chick hatching, Dr. Gao shooed everyone away, as he needed to closely watch the brood of chicks born out of season to prevent them from dying early due to the cold climate.

It was also because Dr. Gao stayed up late caring for the family of White-collared Kingfishers that he received the infrared alarm in the deep night.

Jackals at the door!

(It really looks like a dog.)
