Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 98 - Can You Understand Bird Language

Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Can You Understand Bird Language? Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Can You Understand Bird Language? The processing of Monkey Mother’s remains had its own set of procedures, which the staff at the Gula Gully veterinarian station would take over.

However, after Chen Ying’s request, the rescue center agreed for him to take Little Monkey back to the Jiamu Gully Rescue station for continued treatment and care.

As for whether Little Monkey could be re-released into the forest in the later stages, it would depend on how well its arm healed, as well as its ability to survive independently to meet the requirements for release into the wild.

After all, one couldn’t just throw an incapable Little Monkey into the forest and ignore it. That wouldn’t be a rescue; that would be irresponsible.

Chen Ying stayed in Gula Gully for three days.

He helped the veterinarian station treat quite a few livestock that had been frightened and injured, as well as a few wild animals whose injuries were not serious.

These few were kept in the animal shed behind the veterinarian station. Once their injuries had substantially healed, they were directly taken up the mountain for release.

“Little Chen, Little Yin, the road is completely clear now, and there’s a vehicle heading to the rescue center. Do you want to go together?”

Uncle Hong came to find them both, the whites of his eyes filled with red veins and his undereye bags dark and swollen—an appearance that clearly showed he hadn’t rested well for several days. He almost didn’t need makeup to play a possessed character.

Of course, it was great to have a lift. More importantly, they still needed to take Little Monkey back; public transportation was definitely not an option. They would either have to charter a vehicle or hitch a ride.

“Those bird photography enthusiasts have also been a great help these past few days. They brought back more than a dozen injured birds from the mountains and assisted in their care. The ones with minor injuries have already flown away, and the rest need to be taken to the Bird Research Institute for treatment. They had pooled funds to rent this vehicle, and when I mentioned that you two also needed to go over, they agreed immediately.”

On the way to the departure point, Uncle Hong explained the situation to them.

“In a while, I’ll introduce you to their team leader, who is quite famous in the domestic circles.”

Chen Ying did not refuse Uncle Hong’s kindness, but he felt a bit apprehensive about this circle.

It wasn’t anything else; Zhao Manman’s incident had caused him to harbor some doubts about so-called wildlife photographers.

Upon arriving at the departure point, there were quite a few people. Several young men were busy assembling cages inside the vehicle.

Since the birds were of different species, they needed to be kept in separate cages and various protective measures needed to be taken; otherwise, it could just be one claw-strike between a predator and the more docile birds.

The vehicle was a two-row seat minivan, and the photography team had arranged for two staff members to follow to the Bird Research Institute, plus an assistant team leader would also go over to provide a situation report.

With Chen Ying and Yin Li included, the two rows of seats were a bit cramped.

Just as Yin Li was about to suggest he’d take the bus and let Chen Ying go with them, he heard someone calling his name.

Looking up, he saw a familiar face!

“Senior Brother? What are you doing here?”

The person calling Yin Li was a technical advisor of the photography team, a senior from his graduate school days.

However, the two didn’t interact much; when Yin Li was in his first year, his senior brother was already preparing his graduation thesis, constantly running to the field, and they hadn’t met more than ten times.

“I guessed it was you when Officer Hong mentioned it earlier. The group said you went to be a ranger at Jiamu Gully after graduation. How is it, have you found the meaning of your life?”

Yin Li smiled without responding.

The senior brother tactfully changed the subject, “This must be Dr. Chen, right? You’re talked about in our circles as a modern Druid, communicated with all sorts of wild animals. I was wondering, can you communicate with birds?”

Was this challenging him or just a joke?

Chen Ying glanced at Yin Li and smiled at the senior brother, “There’s no such thing as a Druid; I just have a good affinity with animals. Senior brother, why do you ask? Is there something you need my help with?”

With strangers in the van, the senior brother didn’t say much, only asking for Chen Ying’s contact information and saying he’d contact him after his team’s trip was over.

The journey from Gula Gully to Jiamu Gully took nearly three hours.

They encountered seven or eight points of mudslide and collapse along the way.

After emergency repairs, the roads were basically passable, but only single-sided traffic was allowed. Vehicles drove in the middle of the road to prevent collapsing due to the loose soil at the edges.

The hastily repaired road was definitely not smooth, but vehicles with higher clearance would just need to be careful to get by.

However, they also saw a lot of vehicles with low clearance lining up, really wondering how they planned to drive their cars through…

After leaving the area of Guer Gully, the mountains were not so steep, and there were small mudslides along the way, but they were not a big issue.

Each area had staff on duty to continually check the mountain conditions, and there were traffic police and local officials set up to direct tourists.

Around five in the afternoon, they arrived at the Bird Research Institute.

The Bird Research Institute was not far from the rescue station, and the office had arranged an electric cart to take both of them to the rescue station.

As soon as he got out of the cart, Chen Ying headed straight for the medical area.

He had been nervously carrying the little monkey in his arms the whole way, fearing that the little one would have a stress reaction.

“Yo, is the busy person here?”

Nanny Mei was the first to see him, teasing him before she noticed the monkey peering out from his arms.

“Where did you find this little guy? Let me hold him.”

Nanny Mei was primarily focused on panda cubs but was also favored by other baby animals, and she became the type who would be covered with them the moment she entered the nursery.

“He was rescued by tourists in Gula Gully, its mother’s gone and only the little guy remained.”

“Poor little thing,” Nanny Mei stroked it but didn’t forcibly take it.

Orphaned little ones like this were most scared of leaving a familiar environment, and since it had been hiding in Chen Ying’s arms the whole time, it clearly saw him as family.

If someone tried to take it by force now, the little one might struggle dramatically, which could greatly harm its health.

After conducting a full examination on the little monkey, some results would not be available until the next day.

However, the X-rays of the broken arm showed the bones were well aligned, and it only needed to remain immobilized and wait for the wound to heal.

The little monkey was young and extraordinarily well-behaved, completely still during the process, which made for a quicker recovery.

“You’ll take the little monkey with you to the mountain to take care of,” Sister Dai pinched the bridge of her nose, “Lately with the continuous floods and earthquakes, the center has already taken in a batch of rescued animals that haven’t healed enough to be released, and now here’s another batch; we simply have no spare hands to take on the responsibility.”

In the afternoon, a batch of animals whose injuries had been treated had been sent to nearby zoos and other rescue bases for convalescence, but even so, the rescue station’s animal shed and manpower were completely maxed out.

“A group of small animals was sent up the mountain, and currently, Xia Sen and Duanmu and that intern student are in charge; I think they are close to being overwhelmed. Hurry up to the mountain and let them catch a break.”

No one could have foreseen everything happening all at once.

Sister Dai was still shaken up, worried about the safety of Chen Ying and Yin Li when she heard about the accident in Gula Gully, and it was only after receiving a call that they were safe did she relax and deal with the work.

Some people at the center were grumbling about Chen Ying’s trip to the mountain, and Director Bai directly criticized those remarks without naming names at a staff meeting.

Seeing that person’s flushed face, she felt all the more satisfied.

“We need to submit the quarterly work summary report in October, and also the draft of this year’s wildlife resource monitoring report. How is the progress on your project? Do you need me to postpone it a bit for you?”

“No need, no need, the first phase of my project is almost done. I’ll hand in the phase report later, and I would trouble Sister Dai to have a look at it.”

“Why should I look at it? Go to your mentor, or if worse comes to worst, seek help from the big brother of your mentor. Don’t give me more trouble, already swamped here.”

Sister Dai shooed him away and continued to bury herself in her work.

Don’t think that office work is easier because it’s clerical—those piles of reports headache-inducing for anyone who looks at them.

Chen Ying closed the door gently, holding the little monkey as he darted towards the food section.

“Come on, big brother will take you to have some tasty treats!”
