Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 210 - : No Matter How Big, It’s Still a Baby
Chapter 210: Chapter 210: No Matter How Big, It’s Still a Baby
Xiao Mu’s cold sweat instantly slid down his cheeks as Dao Meihua and Chen Ying simultaneously got out of the car to check the situation at the first instance.
“It’s a baby gibbon.”
Chen Ying quickly identified the fallen object as a baby ape.
He looked around, took off his coat, rushed over, wrapped up the baby ape, and returned to the car.
The baby ape was still alive, but it wasn’t doing well.
There was blood around its mouth, its eyes were tightly closed, and its breathing was faint.
“Let’s go, drive quickly.”
Dao Meihua slapped the back of the driver’s seat, “I’ll call them to arrange an emergency room immediately.”
Xiao Mu sighed, forcibly steadied his mind, and floored the accelerator as the car sped towards the Protection Station.
When they arrived, someone was already waiting at the door; without a word, they were led to the operating room.
Chen Ying calmly changed clothes, washed and disinfected his hands, his gaze fixed on the baby ape lying on the operating table.
He had already performed a manual examination while holding it earlier, tentatively diagnosing a rib fracture that had punctured a lung, with possible internal injuries from a high fall.
Although the operating room was rather simple, it had all the necessary equipment, including an ultrasound by the bed; however, the examination results were not optimistic.
After four and a half hours of surgery, with the veterinarians helping having rotated once, Chen Ying still had a steady hand as he cleaned the baby ape’s internal organs.
“This must be a chosen surgeon, why not go into clinical medicine, and instead doing veterinary seems somewhat beneath his talent.”
The veterinarians and interns around whispered for a while, until the team leader shot them a sharp look, causing them to shrug and fall silent.
“Alright, the surgery went very well; next, it depends on whether it can get through the post-operative infection period and whether the prognosis is good.”
After handing over the baby ape to the post-operative care team, Chen Ying stretched his stiff neck and shoulders, changed his clothes, and directly drank two glasses of water.
To avoid delays during surgery, he hadn’t even dared drink water in case he needed the restroom.
Although performing surgery on an animal wasn’t as stringent as on a human, and the surgical attire was much simpler, the baby ape had undergone an abdominal surgery, making it best to take extra precautions to prevent infection.
Dao Meihua had been waiting outside, and when he came out, she stood up and helped him put on his backpack.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to the dormitory. You rest for a bit, I’ll call you for dinner.”
On another end, an injured gibbon was waiting for Chen Ying, but Dao Meihua would not ask him to perform another surgery after he had just stood for over four or five hours.
“Don’t rush to rest, let’s first check on that injured gibbon. I need to determine if it can undergo manual repositioning; if not, the sooner we perform the surgery, the better.”
They moved to the recovery area.
The gibbon with multiple fractures all over its body was being treated here.
With his skilled fur stroking technique and high affinity, Chen Ying gradually calmed the agitated gibbon.
“Has it been injured for three days? What treatments have been done?”
While examining, he asked, and the female doctor in charge of this gibbon hurriedly took out the medical record and read from it.
“Both arms have differing degrees of fractures, the ulna in the left arm has old fracture healing traces. The leg bones, finger bones also have minor cracks and fractures. Most importantly, its ribs are fractured in two places, which might cause fractures during movement and potentially damage vital organs if left untreated.”
However, rib fractures are not too difficult for humans, mainly relying on chest straps to fix the rib cage and allowing it to heal naturally.
But this was a gibbon, which climbs up and down every day, even fractures couldn’t stop its movements, and finding a way for it to accept restful treatment was a continuous challenge for everyone.
After Chen Ying finished examining the gibbon, just as he was about to leave, the animal tugged at his wrist, looking at him pleadingly.
Thinking it over, Chen Ying decided to take the opportunity to perform the first stage treatment on its chest fractures, and after preparing the medication, he would treat its limbs.
“Be good and obedient; I’m going to get some medicine to apply to you, and you’ll feel better soon.”
He patted the young ape’s head and gave it a dried fig.
Receiving the treat, the gibbon obediently sat down and stayed still.
The chest strap was already prepared, but no one could make it stay still to wear it.
When it was unconscious, they had managed to wrap one around it, but as soon as it woke up, it started struggling and tore it off, nearly exacerbating its injuries.
Chen Ying personally took over; under his direction, the gibbon obediently raised its arms, allowing him to wrap the chest strap around.
Wearing the chest strap was uncomfortable, and the gibbon tentatively tugged at it, but Chen Ying gently smacked its hand and it crouched down pouting.
Chen Ying gave it another fig, adjusted the tightness of the strap, explained what he was going to do next, and then he headed off to the dormitory with his backpack.
During his time at the dormitory changing clothes and resting, the other veterinarians hurriedly prepared the medication he had prescribed.
After these medicines were delivered, they would be ground into powder and mixed into a plaster to aid bone healing.
“The biggest difficulty will be that its activity could prevent the injuries from healing properly; therefore, we need to find a way to let it expend its excess energy without involving the wound.”
It was easier said than done, at least, the veterinarians here couldn’t find a solution to this problem.
Chen Ying couldn’t come up with a good solution right away either; he could only treat the gibbon and then find a way to solve this problem.
One step at a time.
After hastily dealing with his meal, Chen Ying brought food for the gibbon to keep it company.
Upon reaching the Animal Shed, he saw it had once again hung itself on the indoor horizontal bar, its arms in pain making it cry out, yet it stubbornly refused to come down.
The two students taking care of it were about to cry, and when they saw Chen Ying coming over, one of them even turned around to secretly wipe away tears.
Chen Ying knocked on the iron railings and frowned.
“How did I just tell you? You start disobeying as soon as I turn around, don’t you?”
The gibbon jumped down from the horizontal bar, huffing to the door with a sullen face, and even went ahead with “blaming others first.”
“No food, no food, not allowed to move!”
The young gibbon felt so aggrieved that it subconsciously wanted to grab the chest strap wrapped around its chest.
Chen Ying, with quick reflexes, grabbed it.
“Come on, come out, let me take you for a walk.”
The western black-capped gibbon is a tree-dwelling creature and rarely moves on the ground, even using its arm span to leap between trees.
Changing such a free spirit’s behavioral habits was indeed difficult.
But who asked you to break a bone?
Chen Ying led it out of the animal shed and up a tree in the courtyard, then climbed up with it and let it sit in a leafy area as it was used to.
Since the gibbon had a broken finger bone and needed less activity, Chen Ying fed it, occasionally letting it chew on buds and tender leaves by itself.
Outside, the gibbon’s spirits improved a lot. It ate and glanced at Chen Ying, behaving as differently as if it were another gibbon.
While it was eating, Chen Ying took the ointment handed over by the intern and skillfully applied it, then wrapped it with a bandage.
“This can’t be removed, bear with it for a few days, and once recovered, you can go home.”
The gibbon, which was about to nibble it off, narrowed its eyes and casually withdrew its fingers.
Chen Ying found it amusing and rubbed its black cap.
The gibbon imitated him and also reached out to ruffle his hair.
The interns under the tree saw this scene and were incredibly envious.
When could they, like Mr. Chen, tame these creatures at first encounter?
Not just the interns were envious, the veterinarians were too.
There are many wild animals in Liang Mountain, but the most precious is the western black-capped gibbon, highly endangered both nationally and internationally.
It took over an hour, accompanying the young ape through its meal and medication. Chen Ying then asked it whether it wanted to go back to the animal shed to rest or stay in the tree for a while longer.
The young ape glanced around and decided to rest in the tree of that room.
Returning to the room, the young ape excitedly called out.
Previously, the room was bare, with only a few artificial bars and no other facilities.
In just that short while, the animal shed had been transformed into an environment rich with branches and leaves.
The young ape explored it for a bit, felt comfortable, rarely lay down, yawned, closed its eyes, and soon fell asleep.
“Let it sleep; you don’t need to check too frequently. There are cameras inside, just keep an eye on them. I’ll come back in four hours to change its bandages.”
“Mr. Chen, why don’t you teach us to change the bandages? You take a bit more rest.”
“I’ll bring you along when I change the bandages. But these next few days won’t work; it’s still a bit stressed, and accidentally hurting it might upset it.”
The other injured gibbons had been treated. Chen Ying had come over and just re-examined a few who had fought too fiercely and suffered bone and muscle injuries.
Those gibbons, fierce and baring their teeth at the veterinarians and rescuers, were utterly docile under Chen Ying’s care, lying down or rolling over on command, more obedient than circus monkeys.
This impressive skill silenced the veterinarians who had initially harbored some reservations.
How could they compare? How? A single glance from him and these large creatures obediently submitted to examination.
They, despite all the nice words and tricks, still struggled to complete the examinations smoothly.
Only a few young gibbons were a bit more obedient, and that was when their mother wasn’t around.
Well, accept the reality and acknowledge the gap. Ordinary people simply couldn’t compare with a Druid!
In just one night, the news of a Druid’s arrival at Liang Mountain Nature Reserve spread throughout the wildlife conservation community in Dian Province.

Curious inquiries revealed that this was the veterinarian from the neighboring province’s Giant Panda Protection Station.
The next morning, on the way to see the baby ape, Chen Ying felt something was off. Were there too many people looking at him? They were even whispering behind his back—could it be that he…
He looked down and realized his fly was undone!
Dian Province really lived up to its name. Had he eaten too many mushrooms this morning?
Chen Ying walked into the observation room with a stern face.
The little ape was awake but weak, secured on the medical bed with straps, an IV drip hanging beside it.
Chen Ying walked in, touched the baby monkey’s cheek and crown, then picked up the logbook beside it.
It recorded the IV and testing details, convenient for doctors to check at any time.
The baby ape, still covered in golden fur, made a soft “hoo-ha” sound upon seeing Chen Ying.
Chen Ying put down the logbook and looked down at it.
