Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 329 - 327: Achieve Success and Retire

Chapter 329 -327: Achieve Success and Retire

Along the way, they didn’t dare to slacken for a moment.

The wolves, starving and fierce, trailed from afar, following them closely without fail.

It wasn’t until they reached the temporary campsite that the pack of wolves stopped.

Yet they didn’t disperse but stood on a small slope, watching the humans nearby.

The campsite had already assembled five vehicles from the rescue team. Upon seeing Chen Ying and the others rushing in disarray, the people at the campsite first cheered, then immediately sent people to strengthen their vigilance after hearing that a pack of wolves was following them.

With more people around, both the rescuers and the rescued could rest assured and sleep soundly. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Chen Ying specifically introduced Jinya and Er Niu to the rescue team leader, as well as Mama Bear, who stood by his car refusing to leave.

Upon learning that Mama Bear had valiantly brought her two cubs to help, the leader waved his hand grandly, setting up a simple tent to cover Chen Ying’s car.

This was specially done to provide shelter and warmth overnight for the animals who had done great service.

Inside, they also piled up several sheepskins that they themselves would have been reluctant to use.

Mama Bear watched them busily set everything up with a cold eye. Then Chen Ying led them inside, letting them rest properly and even feeding them food and water.

Mama Bear was truly exhausted. After ensuring her children were much better than before and were already feeding themselves, she devoured a basin of meat voraciously and, curling up with her cubs on the sheepskins, fell asleep instantly.

Chen Ying slept through the night, unconscious to the world around him.

However, he didn’t sleep for very long, only about four hours. He woke up before five thirty, and the first thing he did was to check on Jinya and Er Niu.

He didn’t see them inside the tent, only Mama Bear sleeping with one little cub.

“Where has the other one gone?”

Chen Ying even reached out to rummage around, fearing that Mama Bear might have accidentally smothered her own cub.

As he exited the tent, a young man on night duty greeted him.

“Dr. Chen, look at that little cub. It seems to be watching those wolves.”

Indeed, distant wolf silhouettes could still be seen on the hillside.

Of the two little brown bears, the bigger and stronger one was sitting about twenty to thirty meters outside the tent, taking a bite of meat and then looking at the wolves.

Chen Ying went around to take a closer look. The flaming ferocity in that little cub’s eyes was remarkable. If the little cub grew up successfully, the wolves on this prairie were in for some serious trouble.

Jinya and Er Niu had run back from another direction, each carrying fresh prey in their mouths.

Without waiting to greet Chen Ying, the two little creatures dashed straight into the tent, rousing their mother to come and eat.

Chen Ying knew that the meat he brought could only stave off hunger for Mama Bear — these wild animals needed to eat fresher meat to grow strong.

After feeding Mama Bear, Er Niu then came bouncing out to stick close to Chen Ying.

“By the way, Er Niu, you mentioned earlier that you had a friend going to check on its partner and cubs over there. Why haven’t we seen it around?”

“I saw it, Er Niu saw too. Three little cubs, so cute, very round and meaty-looking.”

Chen Ying then learned that the mother leopard with her cubs was staying up on Snow Mountain, behind the lake, because the cubs were still small and she didn’t dare to bring them into the wolves’ skirmish.

“However, Jinya’s friend is very impressive. It’s been a great help. Jinya wanted it to come over and play, but it didn’t want to, saying that the ‘two-legged beasts’ are troublesome.”

Er Niu, quite the chatterbox, was lying next to Chen Ying, purring loudly. Others might think it was flirting for Chen to scratch it, but only Chen Ying knew that this little girl was almost sharing everything she had dug up on the road, including several mouse rabbits.

“However, after running for several days and going out early in the morning to find food for Mama Bear, Er Niu couldn’t hold on anymore. Her head drooped, and she fell asleep next to Chen Ying.”

Chen Ying compassionately picked her up and placed her on a hide inside the tent.

Jinya had already succumbed to sleepiness and was snuggled up with the little cub, both soundly asleep.

The rescued personnel didn’t wake up until almost noon, their spirits much improved and they no longer looked so haggard.

“There’s going to be strong winds tonight, let’s stay another night and set out early tomorrow.”

The news of finding the people had already been reported, and the leaders instructed them to be cautious on the way and try not to harm the wolves.

In fact, after the wolf pack realized there were quite a few humans, those smaller groups of wolves that had joined later had already dispersed.

Only a few wolves that had followed from the lake were still not willing to give up.

But after guarding for two days, right before the convoy was about to leave, they let out a long howl at the moon and their figures disappeared from the dirt slope.

Chen Ying woke up around three o’clock, and Er Niu, from nowhere, had dragged a young antelope over. She had a meal with Jinya and Big Bear Cub in the distance; the leftovers were left to the vultures that had been guarding for half a day.

Mama Bear had regained her spirit and she wasn’t planning on letting Chen Ying take her cubs away for testing.

Wild animals have their own ways of judging things, and she felt her children were already well and it was time to find a cave to get through the long winter.

If it hadn’t been for the disturbance from the wolves and the yak herd, Mama Bear would have already entered winter hibernation with her cubs.

After the tent outside was dismantled, Mama Bear stood up, growled twice at Chen Ying, and then ran far away with her cubs.

Jinya and Er Niu mischievously grabbed the sheepskin they had been sleeping on these past few days and bit it onto the truck, wanting to lay it inside the cage to make it warm and cozy for sleeping.

Since the sheepskin had been ruined by several animals, it definitely couldn’t be returned. Chen Ying planned to buy a few new ones to replace them once they got back.

Three days later, the convoy returned to the small town on the edge of the grasslands.

The leaders were already waiting there, and the families of the Mountain Patrol Team members were also present.

Hugging, crying, the scene of team members and their families embracing was touching, but the animals were oblivious, only feeling a bit disturbed.

“When can we go back? I miss my cubs.”

Jinya was also missing Little Jin and Little Lynx, and she kept urging Chen Ying to hurry home.

After discussing with Yin Li, the two of them approached the leaders of the local Protection Bureau to propose their departure.

“No, you folks have helped us so much, how can you just leave like this?”

“Leader, we’re all in this line of work, let’s skip the formalities. Mainly, it’s the New Year, and we’re short-handed back home, I need to rush back to help.”

Chen Ying also mentioned that the veterinarians back home were on holiday and there were several rescued animals that needed care; he had to return.

Seeing that neither of them would stay, the leader did not insist further but handed each of them an envelope.

Chen Ying and Yin Li refused to accept it, ran to their vehicle and floored the accelerator to head back.

When the rescued team members finally finished talking with their families and came to express their thanks to Yin Li and Chen Ying, they realized the two had already left.

Not only did they leave, but they also left behind a stack of money for the sheepskins.

“This Director Yin… the sheepskins only cost a few bucks, and he and Dr. Chen saved the lives of so many of us, we definitely can’t accept this money.”

But since they had already left, there was no way to return it; they could only find their leader to solve the issue.

The leader didn’t even know about this, and after hearing the members, he immediately called Yin Li’s direct superior.
