Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 188 - : Ao ao ao, she is my little sister, so dear

Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Ao ao ao, she is my little sister, so dear

These two were adamant about staying and claimed they could solve their accommodation problems on their own.

After Chen Ying finished resetting the bones of the three cats and stepped out for a drink of water, she heard their conversation and immediately refused them.

“Either you go stay at the Protection Station or leave. I don’t have space for you here.”

“That’s not necessary; we can pitch a tent.”

Chen Ying gave them a cold stare.

“Did you ‘buy’ your volunteer status?”

“What, what do you mean?”

“This is a sanctuary, not a zoo. We have many injured animals right now. Nonessential personnel, please leave—understand?”

“We can help!”

“What you could have done, you’ve already done. What else can you do next? Are you going to treat them or sing and dance to alleviate their mood?”

Chastened with shame, the youngster glanced at the short-haired woman and then hung his head.

“Apart from the injured clouded leopard brought in today, there are other dangerous animals here, including the flower leopard, lynx, and the giant pandas. If they attack you, do we have to spare people to rescue you?”

“Then aren’t you afraid with so many people…”

“Firstly, the three of us who are regulars here are familiar to the animals. Secondly, Duanmu and Dr. Xiao Song, who are here to support, are professionals and won’t wander around carelessly. And Dr. Xiao Song is the lifesaver of Little Jin, the golden cat.”

Little Sen, standing to the side, recounted the terrible injury the golden cat once suffered and how Dr. Xiao Song took dedicated care of Little Jin, who only managed to recover its current state due to his efforts, leaving the two speechless.

Dao Meihua knew persistence on her part would be unreasonable, and she stepped back decisively.

“I’ll go with him to the Protection Station and wait a few days. If it doesn’t work out here, I can also arrange for them to be sent somewhere else for rescue.”

Little Sen’s face changed, wanting to say something, but Duanmu held him back.

Chen Ying nodded, “Alright, you go ahead then.”

After Dao Meihua and her companion had left, Leopard Sister jumped down from a tree, rubbed up against Chen Ying, and then peered inside from the windowsill.

“Ow, what happened to these little ones?”

“They were hurt by someone.”

“Roar, is it the same ones who hurt Big Gold before?”

“Yes, even worse than them.”

Come to think of it, the aftermath of that incident was still unknown, wondering whether the other poachers had been caught at last.

But reflecting on it, the resurgence of poaching over the past two years was concerning, especially with some people collaborating with illegal traders abroad for money, upgrading their poaching tools from shotguns to cannons, which was utterly despicable.

Chen Ying patted Leopard Sister’s head, “Leopard Sister, when you see the clouded leopard, tell it there’s one of its kind here, but it’s injured. Ask it to come and take a look.”

Taking advantage of the time when the two female leopards were weakened by their injuries, she hoped the clouded leopard would gain some goodwill. Perhaps, they might become companions.

The leg fractures of the three clouded leopards were relatively optimistic in their prognosis. With medication, acupuncture, and massage treatments, there was about a seventy to eighty percent chance of a normal recovery.

If all else failed, they could still find a nice zoo for them to retire in.

The most troublesome now was that severely injured female leopard.

To prevent her from struggling and moving about, a small dose of sedative had been administered.

However, such drugs couldn’t be used in excess, as they could damage her brain nerves.

Thinking back to how Little Jin had narrowly survived, she just hoped this clouded leopard could inherit Little Jin’s luck and hold on.

Leopard Sister went for a stroll and, sure enough, brought back the clouded leopard.

Not only the clouded leopard, but Jinya, who loved to mingle; Little Jin, who always stuck by Jinya; and Great Bai’s family, who heard there were guests at home, all came back.

Duanmu came out of the observation room and was nearly startled.

The place was filled with fluffy bodies; there was hardly any room to step.

Jiaojiao considerately forbade Leo and the Little Cub to come downstairs and create a racket, surrendering her favorite wooden platform to the two little ones.

Big and Small Baby thought themselves to be big boys now, imitating their parents by lying on the tree, watching from a distance.

The Clouded Leopard, innocently led by Leopard Sister to the small building, detected the scent of medicinal liquids from afar, sneezed twice, and seemed reluctant to approach.

But beyond the smell of the medicine, it seemed to catch a somewhat familiar scent.

Unsure, it moved a bit closer to sniff again.

Closer and closer it got, the Clouded Leopard bypassed Duanmu, who blocked the doorway, and stood between the two rooms. After carefully discerning, it walked up to the ICU unit.

Its pupils dilated dramatically as the Clouded Leopard let out a howl, attempting to jump on it, but Chen Ying caught it in a hug.

Adept at handling it as it turned to bite, Chen grasped its muzzle just in time.

Jinya, who followed in, wide-eyed to see the little leopard dare roar at its Two-legged beast, swung a slap at it.

“Jinya, stop it, be good, come out, you can’t come in here.”

Although the requirements for an animal’s ICU ward are not as strict as for humans, wild animals carry bacteria and certainly need to be isolated.

Jinya called out to the Clouded Leopard.

“It needs to go out too. Quick, I am going to disinfect.”

After forcibly dragging the two large cats out, Chen Ying signaled to Xiao Song to quickly lock the door and turn on the disinfection and air purification machines.

After releasing the Clouded Leopard, Chen Ying knelt on the floor, “What’s wrong, do you recognize that Little leopard inside?”

“Sister, it’s my sister,” the Clouded Leopard revealed its panic and agitation for the first time, “How could it be here, after I’ve run so, so far away?”

What the Clouded Leopard didn’t know was that Two-legged beasts have a means of transportation called helicopters.

Chen Ying was stunned upon hearing this.

These Clouded Leopards had been sent from a protection area near the border. It didn’t seem far on the map, but on four legs, wouldn’t it take a year or two of scrambling?

The Clouded Leopard was very anxious to go in but visibly grew agitated when stopped.

“You can’t go in right now. It is seriously injured and needs to be properly treated.”

Chen thought for a moment, dragged over the handcrafted wooden ladder they had made, and set it up at the windowsill, placing a wooden board on top.

“You can watch over it from here and scratch the board if you’re feeling upset.”

Once lifted onto the board, the Clouded Leopard’s belly heaved rapidly.

“Will it be okay?”

“I will do my best to save it.”

Chen couldn’t make any guarantees, only to soothe the animal and ask for its patience.

After exchanging a look with both Jinya and Leopard Sister, Chen went next door to wash up and change his clothes, preparing for the toughest battle.

The case with the Little Clouded Leopard was different from that of Little Jin.

Little Jin was too small at the time, severely injured, and it was solely willpower that pulled it through.

However, being so badly injured that it could not move made treating its wounds somewhat easier.

The Little Clouded Leopard’s external injuries were almost negligible, yet its spine was broken. Fortunately, it wasn’t like the other clouded leopard with comminuted fractures, beyond any possibility of treatment.

Its vertebrae had slipped and become intertwined due to the cracked bones, and even after repositioning, it was difficult to ensure they wouldn’t misalign again.

The best course of action was surgical repositioning, but avoiding further nerve damage was an enormous challenge.

Chen had previously discussed the situation with his teacher, deciding to first perform surgical repositioning, followed by using traditional Chinese orthopedic treatment for post-operative recovery.

After thoroughly re-examining the Little Clouded Leopard’s body and reviewing its vital signs, Chen Ying, together with Xiao Song and Xia Sen, lifted the animal out of the ICU unit and into the operating room to start the surgery.

The operation theater on their side had a video link that could activate remote surgical guidance.

Professor Bai and Professor Xia Lei from the Veterinary department were also in position on the other side.

Nodding to both teachers, Chen Ying picked up the scalpel and made the first incision with a steady hand.
