Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 151: Fulfill His Wish in a Different Way

Behind everyone's back, Chen Ying gave Yin Li a look.

Receiving the hint from Chen Ying, Yin Li pulled the child's parents aside to let the child peek through the door.

Little Deng, being a clever child, instantly understood Chen's intention and quietly explained to the parents,

"Jinya and Little Jin were lynxes we previously rescued at the Protection Station. There are still photos upstairs in the office from when they were treated. Now and then, they come back to visit, and we feed them some food, but we never feed them fully."

Little Deng quietly glanced at the Animal shed.

"The room where your little brother is now is the very place where Jinya was treated."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw Jinya suddenly dash towards the Animal shed, then bare its teeth at the child threateningly.

The child got startled, stepped back, and pressed tightly against the wall.

Little Deng and Yin Li took the opportunity, one blocking Jinya and the other ushering the child out of the room.

The child's parents then hugged their child tightly.

After strolling around the room, Jinya casually walked out to continue eating.

As it passed by, everyone instinctively stepped back a few paces.

Seizing the opportunity, Yin Li took the trio to the office on the first floor of another building and closed the door.

"You see, Jinya is quite mild already. The one feeding it is Uncle Chen, the Veterinarian who rescued it. Even so, do you see Uncle Chen making close contact with it?"

From his mother's embrace, the child looked out and saw Chen Ying standing two to three meters away from the stone platform where Jinya and Little Jin were eating, and Chen had also dodged when Jinya jumped down.

"The cat you're raising, although it has been with you since it was little, is still a wild animal, not a real house cat. Wild animals have their wild instincts, and it doesn't have the right vaccines either. What if it accidentally bites one of your family members?"

The child tightly pursed his lips and looked down, not saying a word.

Just as his dad was about to speak and persuade him, they heard the child crying that he wasn't going to live long anyway, so he might as well die here.

What parent could bear to hear that?

Immediately, the child's mother broke down sobbing and holding her child.

Jinya and Little Jin were casually chewing on meat, startled by the sudden crying, almost choked.

Chen Ying frowned, listening to their conversation in the office, and an idea popped into his head.

He called the child's father out to inquire about the child's health.

He learned that when the child wasn't ill, he was fairly normal, but it became very dangerous once he fell ill.

The doctors said the illness was untreatable, and the next episode could be his last.

A great man, as he spoke, tears streamed down his face.

"There are laws of the land we must follow, and we can't set a precedent for you—but I have a suggestion, if you're willing to give it a try."

Chen Ying had just spoken with the head Veterinarian at Bear Garden, who, upon learning about this child, was open to Chen's suggestion but wanted to meet and sign an agreement with the child's parents.

Chen Ying showed the father his conversation records with the other party.

"Bear Garden has volunteers and also offers volunteer opportunities. But we can't let just the child go alone; a parent must accompany him. Also, there's the issue of the child's illness; you'd need to sign a waiver."

He also sent them the official website link of Bear Garden, suggesting that the father, along with the mother and the child, discuss and then decide.

The child's father sat in a corner, silently reading through Bear Garden's introduction, then took a while hugging his head in silence, finally picking up the phone.

He was resigning from his job to accompany his child as a volunteer.

Back in the office, the child's mother had stopped crying and looked up at her husband as he entered, questioning where he had been.

While they were talking, Jinya and Little Jin, having finished their chicken, adeptly crept to the back of the office building and peered at the people inside through the window sill.

"This child smells quite nice."

Jinya smacked its lips, wishing Chen Ying would allow it to play with the boy.

Little Jin gently nibbled at Jinya's ear, signaling it to leave first.

They sneaked past the office building and headed towards the old Panda Garden.

The Panda Garden was well maintained.

Next spring, there might well be a group brawl among giant pandas, and this place would come in handy.

Jinya expertly picked the lock and ran into the garden where Mendun'er had stayed before and started rummaging around.

"There are mouse holes here." After inspecting, Jinya found two holes under the railing, "I'll go inside, you stay outside, and we'll get these critters out."

Little Jin was a bit disdainful.

He preferred meatier fare; these mountain mice were small and not very tasty.

However, he remembered the kitten Chen Ying had brought back today and thought it could be fed with it.

The two set to work quickly, excavated the mouse hole, and caught four or five mountain mice, including two small ones that were swallowed in one gulp, delicious.

Better than nothing.

The remaining ones, Little Jin and Jinya, picked up to take back to Chen Ying.

A few steps later, they suddenly saw a wolf coming out of the nearest animal shed, which frightened Jinya into leaping up a tree, only to realize upon closer inspection that it was a familiar wolf.

"Did you have babies? Can I see them?"

Jinya was curious, but the mother wolf was wary.

It bared its teeth at Jinya, warning her to leave.

She wasn't fooled; lynxes were known for wiping out entire litters of wolf pups in one go!

Jinya pouted and, without turning her head back, walked away with the mountain mice.

Humph, don't look, who cares.

Next year, when she stole her brother's cubs, she wouldn't let the mother wolf see them either!

As Jinya came from the back, the child's family was already in the car.

The child looked unhappy, his eyes shimmering with unshed tears, yet he bravely held back from crying.

"Uncle, can you take good care of Hua Zai for me? Would you send me pictures of him often?"

"I can't promise that. Hua Zai is a wild leopard cat, and if he's healthy, we need to release him back to the wild. I'll try my best, and until he is released, I'll send you his pictures."

Releasing him would take time, especially because the child had been there; they might need to choose a far-away place for release.

Otherwise, if the leopard cat tracked its way back, what would be the point, releasing just for the sake of it?

After the child left, Chen Ying turned around and saw Jinya and Little Jin with something in their mouths, lined up and hiding behind the wall, secretly watching the child leave.

"Alright, let's head back."

Jinya and Little Jin exchanged a glance and ran off as fast as the wind, disappearing quickly.

The next day, the person in charge of Bear Garden called Chen Ying to discuss the child's situation.

He and his father had signed a volunteer agreement with Bear Garden and would live in the staff dormitory provided by Bear Garden until New Year, with daily tasks of cutting fruit for the bears and cleaning.

The child was young and not in good health, so he could only handle cutting fruit.

The person in charge also sent Chen Ying some photos.

There were pictures of the child earnestly working in his uniform, with a hat and mask.

There were also photos of him helping his father with the trash cart, cleaning the black bear shed.

Another picture showed him standing outside the black bear shed, smiling beside the black bear, separated by a glass wall.

(The first black bear rescued at Long Bridge Black Bear Rescue Center, Andrew, is quite docile.)

Chen Ying, looking at the child's pictures, rubbed his face, a thought dawning on him.

Perhaps there was another way to promote animal protection.
