Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 139: The Tribunal of Three Judges

The triple interrogation session took place, and Jinya, being ill, could only listen in from the observation room.

Red Fox lay honestly flat in the middle of the forest clearing.

Chen Ying grabbed a chair and sat in front of Red Fox.

To the left were Great Bai and his family of three, and to the right were Leopard Sister and her family of four; behind them on the stairs, Little Sen held Little Monkey, and behind Red Fox in the Animal Shed, Little Jin was to the left and Old Monkey to the right.

Even Little Owl Mother peeked from the tree with her cubs.

It could be said that unless Red Fox could burrow underground, the land and air were completely sealed off.

"Did you swipe the Jackal's little cub?"

Red Fox didn't dare lift his head and stealthily peered up at Chen Ying's expression through his eyelids.

"You foxes want to eat Jackals? That doesn't seem right."

"It wasn't me who wanted to eat their cubs; it's because that pack stole a brood of chickens that the foxes had their eyes on."

Chen Ying felt like he couldn't keep a straight face.

"You wanted to steal chickens… uh, catch chickens, you could just do that in the forest. Why sneak into human homes?"

Red Fox turned his head away; chickens raised by humans were tender and fatty, quite different from wild ones.

Besides, having wild ones every day, one might want a change of taste.

"So the chickens you had your eye on were snatched away by that pack of Jackals, and then you went and snatched their cubs?"

Red Fox looked at the sky and the ground but just not at Chen Ying.

Chen Ying was amused to the point of laughter, realizing that this guy brought it upon himself; they were all innocently dragged into the mess.

Chen Ying glanced at Jinya whose face was blank and sighed.

What else could he do with the silly girl of his own doing but take the responsibility?

However, this fox couldn't be allowed to hang around this area anymore. It would be best to release it somewhere as far away from the Jackals as possible.

Being too close, what if the Jackals regrouped and they encountered each other again?

Red Fox's kind wasn't picky about the environment; they could be found on highlands and deserts alike.

"Your wound is almost healed. I'm giving you a few places to choose from. Where would you like to go?"

Chen Ying listed a few places, and Red Fox was completely bewildered.

Little Sen hesitated, wanting to say that this fox had never gone to school, never learned geography. How could it know where was where?

Before he could organize his thoughts and subtly inquire of Chen Ying, he heard Chen Ying change the subject.

"Actually, I recommend you go to the nature reserve in the neighboring province. That area is mostly desert grasslands and hills. The density of foxes is higher, and their distribution is more rational. Most importantly, you're quite a handsome fellow. Once you get there, you definitely be a hit with the fox ladies."

Red Fox felt somewhat tempted and shifted his paws.

The thing with the fox ladies was trivial; mainly, it wanted to stay far away from those Jackals. Yes, that was the reason.

Chen Ying, feeling a bit embarrassed to contact his junior directly, made an excuse of discussing a previous matter with his teacher's eldest daughter. He made a call to inquire if they could accept a transferred Red Fox in the northwest.

"Why relocate it so far away?"

"That fox has some issues. It made enemies with a whole pack of Jackals. Just the other day, they came over for revenge against the fox, and almost all of them were wiped out. But I suspect there are still Jackals lurking outside waiting for revenge. Unless we relocate it far enough, I doubt it could survive."

They were all in the same circle, and as soon as his senior sister heard what he was saying, she couldn't stop laughing on the other end of the phone.

Interdistrict relocation was a hassle, requiring reports and applications, and the reasons had to be sufficient.

To move the fox before winter, all the paperwork was entrusted to the teacher's team.

Seeing the resentful faces of his junior brothers and sisters, Chen Ying felt rare guilt.

After some thought, he organized the fur that he had collected from Big Cats and Jiaojiao's family, made several felt dolls, and gave them to them. The junior brothers and sisters immediately beamed with joy.

As the proposer of the rewilding recommendation, Professor Bai and his wife made a trip to the mountains, especially to see Red Fox and the family of Great Bai.

Red Fox's recovery was going well, and he could now exchange seven or eight rounds with Brother Leopard.

Of course, in the end, Brother Leopard would deliberately pin him to the ground to rub.

Brother Leopard did this on purpose, to vent for Little Jin.

Regardless of the species difference, Little Jin's relationship with their family of four was definitely closer than this showy fox.

Every time Brother Leopard beat up the fox, Jinya would find an excuse to hide.

It wasn't that she couldn't bear to see the fox getting beaten up; mainly, she felt that she had been blind before.

Apart from its beautiful fur, this flirty fox was in no way comparable to Little Jin, not even having the same taste in food, let alone any other common language.

Seeing it once, regretting it once.

How could she have caused Little Jin to run away from home over such a trifle?

Professor Bai personally stepped in, and the application was quickly approved, but the transfer still had to wait for some time.

It was not feasible to make a trip just for Red Fox's sake, as the cost was too high. Fortunately, the base was sending two pandas to the northwest, and Red Fox got a legitimate lift with them.

Professor Bai and his wife stayed in the mountains for seven or eight days. On the night before they left, Wolf Mother went into labor early.

The gestation period for a female wolf is usually around sixty days, timing from successful mating.

However, since Duoduo and Wolf Mother mated in the wild, they were unclear about the exact day, so they could only estimate a rough time.

Professor Bai was a veterinary expert, and he had his fair share of experience delivering animals.

He had already suspected that Wolf Mother might be near giving birth, but he did not expect the timing to be so perfect; she gave birth on the evening before he left.

The personnel from the police dog breeding base had been staying here, and during the wolf's labor, the two didn't dare close their eyes for a second, staying up all night with Wolf Mother and Duoduo.

The Vice Station Chief of the Protection Station also stayed up, monitoring the entire labor process of Wolf Mother.

After all, if this litter was born successfully, perhaps every year, or every two years, a litter of mixed-breed wolf-dogs would be born.

For him, who had a professional background in animal research, this was simply a research topic delivered to his doorstep.

Don't think that becoming the Vice Station Chief of the Protection Station meant a smooth entry into a career path. Being in charge of scientific research and promotion, if he didn't come up with notable achievements, he might well find that his career peaked at this position.

"The Wolf Mother has lost a lot of strength. Is the meat soup ready?"

Chen Ying was the person closest to Wolf Mother, standing guard outside the birthing cage. If any problems arose during the birth, he needed to intervene immediately.

Duoduo was not allowed inside the cage, but by being in the neighboring cage, he could just stretch out his tongue to lick Wolf Mother's forehead.

"Three of them, such beautiful colors, black and grey," Chen Ying noticed Wolf Mother struggling to clean the birth fluid from the little cubs and felt a pang of heartache, extending his hand but eventually resisting the urge.

A few minutes later, the warm meat soup was delivered, and Chen Ying hurriedly took it to Wolf Mother, encouraging her to eat and regain some strength.

Wolf Mother, who wouldn't let even Duoduo come near, was willing to let Chen Ying see her newborn pups.

The three pups were strong, and after being cleaned by their mother, they vied for milk.

But before they could feed much, Wolf Mother, with signs of labor again, turned over, leaving the three pups and continued to exert herself.

Duoduo paced back and forth anxiously in the next cage, whining continuously, very eager to enter and help Wolf Mother.

"Don't worry, Duoduo. It will be over soon."

While Wolf Mother was giving birth, Chen Ying did not go up to interfere but soothed Duoduo through the bars.

"Look at your children, each one so strong. They'll certainly be as formidable as you and Wolf Mother in the future."

Duoduo made a laughing "haha" sound, then looked up at Wolf Mother and whined once more.

The next two cubs were born quickly, and after half an hour, all five little cubs gathered under Wolf Mother and began to suckle.

Exhausted, Wolf Mother lay on her side on the clean mat, opening her mouth to breathe.

After the pups had eaten enough, she mobilized her body, stood up and walked around, and then devoured the meat and meat soup from the food bowl voraciously.
