Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 260 - : Come Down, My Treasure

Chapter 260 -260: Come Down, My Treasure

Ji Xin stayed in the car while Chen Ying got out and walked around to the other side, looking up at the lynx on the electric pole.

His movement caught the attention of a few people nearby, and someone exclaimed and started heading over to take pictures and videos.

It was clear that their shouting frightened the lynx.

This golden treasure wanted to jump down from above, but feared the people below might harm her, probing with her paws several times before retracting them.

“Please leave this area, we need to rescue this lynx.”

“You do your rescue, we’re not in your way.”

A young man with a tuft of blue hair sneered, deliberately aiming his phone’s camera at Chen Ying.

“Please make way, we need to rescue the animal.”

“Can’t you hear, do your rescue, I’m not stopping you. What’s wrong with me filming, you gonna bite me?”

The two girls beside him looked a bit embarrassed and tried to pull him away, but he shook them off.

“Hey, bro, I’ve decided to film today, what are you gonna do about it, you think you can hit me?”

Did they assume the car they arrived in belonged to the Protection Station?

Chen Ying glanced at him and said nothing more, taking out his phone to call the Forest Police.

“Yes, coordinates xx. A group of college students, I guess, obstructing our rescue of a trapped wild animal and ignoring warnings to drive into a non-safe area. Hmm, you can check which school they’re from and get in touch with their authorities for a response. I’ll be reporting this to my superiors.”

Hearing Chen Ying’s words, the faces of the two girls and the boy changed.

“No, how can you do this…”

One of the girls almost broke into tears. Who reports things to the school for no reason?

“Scared my ass, what if they inform the school, are they going to stop me from graduating? Idiot!”

The boy holding the phone for pictures tried to rush at Chen Ying but was held back by the other girl, who was a bit more composed.

With the efforts of his two friends, the young man was forcibly taken back to their car.

The young man left by the truck, talking with Yin Li, was curious about their odd expressions and casually asked, only to turn black as night when he found out Chen Ying had called to report them.

“Director Yin, isn’t your team member overreacting?”

“Oh, he’s not one of our team members.” Yin Li laughed, showing off his sparkling white teeth, “He’s our external expert, and well-recognized by several domestic conservation organizations. When it comes to rescuing wild animals, we just do whatever he says.”

Cai Rang and a few team members also voiced their agreement.

“His teacher seems to be a top influencer in this field, with very wide connections. You all had better go say sorry and admit your mistake, then let’s call it even.”

“That’s impossible…”

The boy taking pictures roared, but then saw the door of another car open, and a man stepped out.

“Ji Xin?”

“I recorded the whole process of your conflict just now. If the school investigates, I will report the truth.”

“…are you sick?”

“I might be sick, but you have no cure, though when you break the law, there are police.”

They were not far from a checkpoint.

The Forest Police would assign an officer to patrol here at this time, and upon receiving Chen Ying’s call, a car with four officers arrived quickly.

Seeing uniformed officers step out of the car, the tears of the two girls were about to overflow.

“Director Yin, Dr. Chen, was it you who called the police?”

“It was me.” Chen Ying raised his hand to signify, “A lynx is lying up there, and right now, we can’t tell whether it’s injured. I need to rescue it, but these students stubbornly stayed under the pole to record, obstructing my work and scaring the lynx.”

Hearing Chen Ying’s words, the two girls wanted to explain, but Ji Xin interjected.

“I have a video recording of the whole event as evidence, if you need it, I can send it to you right away.”

“Ji Xin, that’s… over the top.”

“How have I gone over the top? Did you not do anything wrong, or am I wrongfully accusing you? You both are considering grad school, aren’t you? Haven’t you studied politics? You ignore even the most basic laws and regulations and still want to threaten me?”

The blue-haired young man was so furious his eyes turned red, and he wanted to attack Ji Xin but was stopped by the police.

“Young man, cool down a bit. You dare to strike out even when we are here; you must have a short fuse, huh?”

Seeing the half-smiling look on the officer’s face, the blue-haired one shuddered back to sensibility.

“Sorry, I was just… a bit angry.”

“What do you have to be angry about? There are signs along the road prohibiting unauthorized vehicles on the grasslands; you’re going to take exams for grad school, can’t you read? Also, you may not want to help with the rescue of wild animals, but you cannot obstruct. You seemed quite arrogant.”

Under the enforcement camera, the four students’ faces turned ashen as they admitted their wrongdoing.

Chen Ying couldn’t be bothered to speak more with them and called Ji Xin over to help.

“I’m going to climb up and bring it down, and you support me from below.”

“We don’t have equipment, Brother Ying, how will you climb?”

“We’ve got climbing spurs in the car; I’ll get a pair.”

Hearing this, a team member quickly pulled out a set of climbing spurs from under the pickup’s seat.

Such tools are essential for electricians, who use the spurs to climb wooden or concrete poles during outdoor inspections.

Chen Ying prepared a strip of jerky, put on climbing spurs, took a rescue rope, and began climbing slowly.

Yin Li and Cai Rang were busy with the truck on the other side, occasionally glancing at Chen Ying with rather troubled expressions.

This was the most thankless task, knowing that it’s not worth it but still having to do the rescue.

After pulling the vehicle out, Yin Li didn’t say another word to them.

After all, the police were already there, and what was left wasn’t his responsibility.

“How did the lynx get up there?”

“I don’t know, maybe it was being chased?”

This grassland doesn’t seem to have any records of snow leopards, lynxes have appeared several times, but what kind of animal could pose a threat to a lynx?

After dealing with the people involved, the police told them to leave immediately and to accept punishment at the last checkpoint before leaving the protected area.

Most penalties within the country are currently financial, with the most severe being access restrictions.

For such self-righteous individuals who wouldn’t heed warnings, neither the staff from the Protection Station nor the Forest Police present had the slightest sympathy.

Seeing that the vehicle was out of danger, they urged them to leave quickly.

Blue haired glanced over and grudgingly asked why Ji Xin could stay while he was neither from the Protection Station nor a member of any conservation organization.

Yin Li just happened to pass by, heard this, and waved to Ji Xin.

“Come here, hand your permit to the police officers for inspection.”

Ji Xin quickly took out his permit from the compartment of his camera bag.

He had obtained it before entering the area, at the conservation center, and it clearly stated that he was allowed in as an accompanying photographer.

Seeing this, Blue haired clenched his teeth, glanced fiercely at Ji Xin, said nothing, and slammed the door shut.

The door closed so hard that the vehicle shook.

The driving senior went pale, bowed his head, and after a moment, apologized to the police officers managing their emotions, then looked at Ji Xin with complex eyes before getting in the car.

The two girls didn’t dare say a word and obediently followed.

But as they drove away, the calmer girl looked at Ji Xin and frowned slightly as if she wanted to say something. Before she could speak, the vehicle suddenly started and quickly sped away.

Ji Xin didn’t take the incident to heart; he stayed by the car, camera in hand, capturing photos of Chen Ying climbing the pole to rescue the lynx.

The four Forest Police officers also took out their enforcement recorders to document Chen Ying’s actions.

After all, the pole was still live, and getting electrocuted was no laughing matter.

“Don’t be scared, little guy, I’m here to rescue you.”

Chen Ying didn’t rashly make contact with the little one.

There was a gap between the crossbars and cables at the top of the pole where the lynx was hiding.

He was worried that if it struggled too vigorously and got electrocuted, that wouldn’t be good.

The lynx didn’t seem particularly fierce, its soft whimpers and pitiful appearance tugged at the heartstrings.

After letting it familiarize itself with his scent, Chen Ying reached out to touch its paws.

The little guy didn’t struggle, instead, gently licked his hand with a tentative touch.

Chen Ying secured his safety belt around his waist, made sure his foot bindings wouldn’t suddenly slip, then let go with both hands and gripped the lynx’s forelimbs.

“Come on, slowly, into my arms.”

He softly comforted, bit by bit guiding the lynx to slide down along the gap toward the top of the pole.

Fortunately, the lynx wasn’t big, and once in his arms, it clung firmly to Chen Ying’s shoulders and neck.

Chen Ying pulled out a rescue rope, secured the lynx to himself, and then covered its head with a piece of clothing before slowly descending.

He was inexperienced with using the foot bindings.

It was fine going up; however, coming down, they kept getting stuck, and it took twice the time to safely bring the lynx down.

With the two Tibetan antelopes needing rescue in the pickup, Chen Ying had Ji Xin sit in the passenger seat while he sat in the back holding the lynx to prevent it from getting startled and thrashing, which could injure someone.

Once sure there was nothing else to handle, the Forest Police separated from them to continue their duties.

Chen Ying and the others originally planned to stay there for two days to ensure the Tibetan antelopes wouldn’t migrate further or leave before returning to the Protection Station.

But now with an extra lynx, they had to go back and check on it first.

“How’s this little fellow doing?”

“Not so good,” Chen Ying packed up the first aid kit, “I suspect this lynx has a congenital heart condition. There’s also something wrong with its right abdomen; it needs further examination.”

With his hands, he could only determine there was a problem within the lynx’s abdomen but couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

In any case, the lynx was in poor spirits and had an irregular heartbeat.

“Okay, Cai Rang can take you two back first, and I’ll stay here with the others for two days before returning.”

Work needed to be done and rescue efforts had to continue; they had no choice but to split up.

“Why don’t you and Brother Ying go back first? I can stay here with the team for two days.”

“You’re talking nonsense again; if told you to leave, just leave. You’ve been working non-stop for a month, take the opportunity to take your annual leave. Isn’t your wife about to give birth? You weren’t there for her during the births of your first two children; this time, you should stay by her side no matter what.”

When his own wife came up, Cai Rang could only laugh sheepishly and agreed to leave first.

Cai Rang’s family lived in the nearest county town; his wife was a civil servant and supported his work, enduring much hardship and loneliness.

“Big brother Cai Rang, when your child is born, can I come and see him?”

During this time, Ji Xin had been contemplating something; he wanted to take advantage of his year off from school to do a special photography project on the Patrol Officers in the no-man’s-land.

The beauty of the world is because there are people who silently take on the weight and keep going.

Even if only a few people see it, the hardships of the Patrol Team won’t be buried in obscurity.
