Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 310 - : To Accompany Er Niu, Exhausting Every Effort

Chapter 310 -310: To Accompany Er Niu, Exhausting Every Effort

Lynx Sister was extremely on guard when Er Niu’s voice reached her ears, momentarily distracting her.

Just in that instant, two wolves lunged at her.

Lynx Sister had managed to survive in the wilderness thus far, gaining a legendary reputation, and it wasn’t because she was a pushover.

Even though she had missed the opportunity to strike first, she remained calm in the face of battle and used her advantages to make the two wolves miss their attack.

As the two wolves lunged past her, the remaining five split into two groups.

Three of them prepared to intercept Er Niu, while the other two worked in coordination with the first pair, determined to claim a cat’s life today.

However, what the pack leader didn’t anticipate was that Lynx Sister’s reinforcements were more than just one Big Cat.

Even the Snow Leopard was willing to help a fellow lynx, so of course, Jinya, being a lynx herself, was certain to aid her kind.

Even if it meant that she had to fight another battle after defeating the wolves.

Little Jin did not rashly rush in. Its method of combat, unlike the Lynx and Snow Leopard, emphasized ambushes.

It’s not the fear of six enemies that you should have, but the fear of facing Sucker.

Little Jin’s strategy proved effective.

She prowled the outskirts, while the three ladies made a break inside, giving the seven wolves the illusion that they were being surrounded.

No, it wasn’t an illusion.

When the last Male leopard stealthily poked his head out, the Wolf King completely lost his nerve.

With a long howl, he led his pack away in a huff.

Before leaving, he delivered a fierce threat: You won’t get off so easily next time!

Pah, come on then, if you’re tough enough, come back and we’ll continue the fight for three hundred rounds!

“Ao’er, ao’er, if you’re brave enough, don’t run!”

Er Niu was hot-headed and nearly gave chase, but then her tail throbbed with pain.

“Ao~~” She turned her head to see, and lo and behold, two lynxes had nearly split her tail in two with their bites.

The Male Snow Leopard only showed his face and did nothing else, and the battle was already over.

Seeing that Er Niu hadn’t started a fight with the lynxes, the Male leopard quickly turned and fled the scene.

As he ran, he pondered over his unfortunate timing, thinking that if he had arrived a bit later, he might have been able to catch a wolf to eat.

Lynx Sister shook her fur and cast a complex glance at the retreating figure of the Male leopard, then at Er Niu, who was still discussing with Jinya how to fix the split ends in her tail, before turning to leave.

So tragic!

Better to keep her distance, just in case she caught stupidity from that dumb leopard.

“She left just like that?” After the discussion, Er Niu looked up to find not a single hair of Lynx Sister’s, which irritated her, “Why does she always do this, fighting me for no reason and then leaving just as inexplicably.”

In that moment, Jinya and Little Jin’s brainwaves synchronized with Lynx Sister’s.

Perhaps it was better if they went back first?

“Jinya, Er Niu, Little Jin.”

Chen Ying approached them on horseback, relieved to see that they were all unharmed, but still dismounted to check on each one before he was completely at ease.

“Why did you suddenly start fighting with a pack of wolves? The wolves on the winter grassland are very ferocious; you can’t do this in the future. If you see them from a distance, hurry and leave.”

It’s not that he looked down on his three cats. Apart from Little Jin, they were all poor fighters.

But Little Jin’s home turf was the forest or places with trees.

On this vast snowy wilderness, the bright fur of Jinya and Little Jin stood out like a target, practically inviting a beating with the words “Come Hit Me” written in large letters.

Jinya inched closer, airing her grievances, and howled a few times in the direction where Lynx Sister had left.

Chen Ying also knew from the drone images that Lynx Sister was the instigator.

But human hearts are biased by nature and don’t stay centered, so he was biased towards his own cats, and what’s the problem with that?

After checking on them, Chen Ying hesitated before trying to ask about the Snow Leopard.

He always had the feeling that Yellow Fur was eyeing his daughter.

But looking at the simple-minded Er Niu, perhaps finding a strong Yellow Fur as a mate wouldn’t be too bad.

After exporting the files from the camera on Little Jin and the recorder in Jinya’s collar, Chen Ying left them to their own devices, allowing them to roam freely wherever they wanted.

He had work to do, and since he brought Jinya and Little Jin out under the pretense of research, he definitely needed to produce some results.

Uncle Tashi had already gone back to work, with plans to pick him up in half a month.

If something urgent came up, the Pasture also had vehicles that could take him to the Budong River conservation station.

The icy Pasture had no nursery schools, and children usually started school at the age of seven or eight, when they had to stay far from home, typically boarding and only returning home once every two months.

During the days Chen Ying temporarily stayed at Uncle Tashi’s home, the children were like they had found a new toy, bombarding him with questions as if he were a walking version of “A Hundred Thousand Whys.”

Chen Ying thought this wouldn’t do.

Ignoring the children wasn’t an option, but once he engaged with them, there was no end to it.

After some thought, he decided that since the children were so eager to learn, he might as well teach them.

After all, there weren’t many of them, just over a dozen, who could all fit comfortably under one large tent.

The blackboard was borrowed from the Budong River Protection Station’s promotional display board on a temporary basis, and although he had placed an order, it was uncertain if he would receive the goods before he left.

In the morning and at noon, the slightly older children needed to help around the house. After three in the afternoon, once the livestock were corralled and checked for any that might have wandered off, it was free time for the kids.

It just so happened that Chen Ying finished his daily research tasks around this same time.

Teaching the children didn’t mean lecturing them on subjects like language, mathematics, or foreign languages.

Chen Ying knew his limitations and didn’t intend to compete with school teachers for their livelihoods.

What he taught the children was related to the things they could apply in their daily lives, like seemingly insignificant plants that could be valuable medicinal herbs.

How to provide first aid and call for help if someone, human or animal, got injured accidentally in the wild.

The children might have seemed young and ignorant, but when the subject matter related to their own lives and was about things common in their surroundings, they listened even more attentively than they did in class.

It wasn’t just the kids; even the adults, with nothing else to do, gathered around to listen to the lessons. After a few days, Chen Ying, speechless, noticed that the herders had taken over the center seats, leaving the children huffing in frustration at the edges.

With no choice left, Chen Ying had to provide separate, more focused lessons for the children only.

He understood that for the herders in the pastures, it was quite an achievement to have finished middle school.

Only in recent years, with the government’s strong support for poverty alleviation—plus the realization by the herders themselves that lack of education was a disadvantage—did they grit their teeth to provide education for their children.

Back in their day, being able to write their own name and keep accounts was enough to be considered educated.

Since he was teaching adults, Chen Ying’s lessons became deeper and broader in scope.

There were no entertainment activities around, so gathering together for lessons at night and then drinking and chatting was a good way to pass the time.

Besides teaching the herders to recognize medicinal plants, Chen Ying also taught them how to handle simple livestock diseases and injuries.

In fact, most herders had a bit of knowledge, accumulated experience passed down through generations.

The problem was that it wasn’t systematic; for instance, if a remedy A worked for one household’s livestock’s diarrhea and remedy B worked for another, each would believe their method was correct.

However, the truth was these remedies might not have been treating the same kind of diarrhea, so when some tried method A without success and were cured by method B, they assumed the first household’s remedy was wrong.

In the past, a single animal was more precious than life itself; if your careless treatment led to its death, you could be held accountable by the owner.

Later, with the availability of dedicated veterinarians, such incidents vanished.

But new problems arose, as herders grazed their livestock in various pastures during the summer, and a veterinarian couldn’t just follow them around. In case of emergencies, they’d spend sleepless nights, wishing for wings to fly and fetch the veterinarian.

The small, diagnostic tricks and skills Chen Ying taught them were all verified by university textbooks; if they couldn’t cure the problem, they could at least manage it until the veterinarian arrived.

The herders were grateful to Chen Ying, responding to his kindness with their own, and they took great care of him and the Lynx golden cat he had brought.

The weather grew colder, and while Jinya and Er Niu could boldly face the wind and snow to romp around, Little Jin couldn’t.

After following them twice, he decided to reduce his involvement in the girls’ activities.

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, there was another three-day snowstorm.

For the Highland, this amount of snow was normal, and the children went straight to the snowy fields for snowball fights and tobogganing.

Little Jin lay on the roof of the car sunbathing, cushioned by an old sheepskin mattress prepared especially for him by the neighboring herders.

With Little Jin around, the local mice and rabbits were facing a major disaster.

But this was actually a good thing, as without these small creatures wreaking havoc, the pasture grass would grow even more lush next spring.

The camera that had been on Little Jin’s back was now transferred to Er Niu.

To secure it properly, Aunt Zhaxi helped to refurbish the straps, making them wider and longer.

While the children had their snowball fight and Little Jin sunbathed, Chen Ying also laid out a cowhide blanket on the grass, sitting there with his tablet in hand, soaking up the sun and chatting with Little Jin.

To outsiders, it looked as though he was talking to himself while the Golden Cat occasionally responded. free𝑤ebnovel.com

No one would imagine that Chen Ying was planning a big move.

He wanted to establish a Highland feline species gene bank, starting with the collection and recording of Er Niu and her rumored boyfriend.

He dared not venture too deeply.

His plan was to connect the lakes known as the birthing grounds for Tibetan antelopes, such as Ulan Wula Lake, Zhuonai Lake, Kekexili Lake, and Sun Lake, and to conduct surveys outward from this line to establish feline creature profiles and build a population gene bank.

The core inland terrain was too complex, with high elevation, hypoxia, and difficulty in rescue operations, so there was no need to probe too deeply, but it was feasible to carry out surveys from several lakes outward.

If one year wasn’t enough, then two years, five years, ten years—there would come a day it would be completed.

Apart from the survey in the Highland, it was also necessary to include the Northern Border in their study.

And, of course, the Jiamu Gully area where he was stationed could not be neglected.

This kind of project was already underway by many researchers; the most famous and recognized one was the population genetics research of the Northeast Tiger.

In the Southwest, the population genetics research on the Giant panda was also quite mature.

During his last visit to the Qing Province Wildlife Park for an exchange study, he had discussed with their veterinarian, who also had plans to build a population gene bank and research its applications.

But they were more focused on researching the genetics of captive Snow Leopards, while he, possessing the Golden Finger, had the wild as his strength.

On this basis, they could join forces to apply for research projects.

Later, by bringing Xiao Liu, Duanmu, and others into the fold, he could focus solely on the technical side while Duanmu handled everything else!
