Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl
Chapter 439 - 420 Jinya Snatched a Kid Back

When descending the mountain, they just happened to run into the police and the Animal Husbandry Bureau's convoy.

"Dr. Chen, were you visiting Er Niu again?"

"I had to; it was Er Niu's first time as a mother and she gave birth to several, I was a bit worried."

"They do need to be checked on. Make sure Little Sun pays extra attention, lately people have been targeting yaks, and who knows if they might target other animals."

Chen Ying nodded, then casually asked where they were headed.

"Just twenty kilometers ahead, we are heading to the scene to investigate a case."

"Alright then, I won't disturb you."

Chen Ying waved his hand, preparing to ride back on his horse, when he had just mounted and moved a few meters away, the recognized police officer in the car that had stopped called out to him again.

"Dr. Chen, do you have time right now? Could you please help us out?"

Chen Ying looked up at Jinya hiding on the slope, "May I ask what it's about?"

"We are going to investigate a case of calf theft, the leader ahead wanted to ask if you have time to help check on the cattle herd."

While speaking, the car ahead turned around and came to a stop, two people got out of the car and greeted Chen Ying.

He hurriedly dismounted and went over to shake hands, saying that they were from the Animal Husbandry Bureau, cooperating with the police to investigate the case, one of them was also a veterinarian, but he was worried that he might not be accurate enough and wanted to ask Chen Ying if he could help supervise.

Chen Ying was a bit surprised, they were specifically responsible for veterinary matters, were they still worried about not finding someone? That excuse seemed a bit casual.

Years of professional experience had made him less slick, but had slightly improved his EQ.

He tactfully said that he still had to "walk the cat", suggested they go ahead first, and that he would follow shortly.

The group looked up following Chen Ying's gaze, indeed noticing a hint of golden-red in the rocky area.

The fur color of highland animals generally blends more with the environment, Jinya was a cat from Jiamu Gully, its fur color naturally suited Jiamu Gully's high mountain forest color scheme, making it more conspicuous in the cold desert.

Fortunately, Jinya's hunting prowess was strong, and it hadn't experienced any hunger yet.

Half an hour later, the group arrived at their destination.

The car stopped in a wind-sheltered area on the hillside, nearby on the grassland, hundreds of yaks were scattered, interspersed with two or three groups of Tibetan Wild Donkeys and Tibetan gazelles.

Chen Ying, accompanied by Jinya, approached the convoy, Jinya glanced around and mentioned it wasn't far from where the little lynx it was eyeing lived, it would be back soon.

Watching Jinya disappear over the other side of the hillside, Chen Ying walked towards the team conducting the scene investigation.

They could still see tire tracks from motorcycles and cars, especially the motorcycle tracks which were very chaotic.

They hadn't been working long when the Patrol Team members also hurried over.

The location was quite remote, they patrolled through about once every two weeks. Those cattle thieves had timed their strike well.

It's also possible that they had bribed someone doing business near the Protection Station to tip them off, emboldening them to act so brazenly.

Chen Ying didn't understand the details of the investigation, so he followed the two colleagues from the Animal Husbandry Bureau to approach the yak herd, stopping at a safe distance to observe.

Generally, any issues were visually apparent, allowing them to narrow down the scope. Otherwise, it wasn't feasible to catch each one to check.

At a cursory glance, the situation seemed okay; they couldn't determine which yaks had lost their calves.

Moreover, since the calves had been confined in the farm pen for a while, whether they were diseased wasn't known; they definitely needed to be quarantined before safely rejoining the herd.

There were two purposes for this visit: observing the state of the herd was one, another was considering whether to reintegrate the calves back into their original herd.

"I think we might be overthinking this. Isn't there a yak herd right over there? I saw from the mountain that there are also a good number of herds behind the high mountain meadow; they can choose on their own."

Just like on the Qinghai Lake side, Sonam and others rewilded Przewalski's gazelle, letting them choose their own group would be best.

"After the quarantine period is over, we can move them to the large enclosure behind the emergency station, install a small gate, and if they want to join the nearby herd, they can go straight there."

After observing from several positions, aside from two mother yaks looking a bit listless, the other yaks were generally fine.

Chen Ying didn't boldly charge forward to show off his skills.

Being able to communicate didn't mean he wouldn't get hurt; wild yaks weren't exactly mild-tempered creatures, and he risked being kicked by a hoof, which could mean spending the New Year in a hospital at best, or seeing the next life at worst.

"I'll talk to my colleagues at the station later, ask them to come and check when they have time."

With so many researching yaks, they couldn't all just circle around a few calves; it was entirely feasible to allocate some manpower to care for the larger yaks. They were also considering how to better utilize wild yak genes to transform domestic yak genes, and this was ready-made research material!

"Probably no major issues, we'll come and take a look again in a few days."

As the three walked and talked, they hadn't approached the car yet when they heard a horse whinnying. If it hadn't been tied up in advance, it would have run off by now.

Jinya, with a gray lynx cub in its mouth, dashed down from the hillside, followed closely by another similarly gray lynx.

But as it approached the downslope, the pursuing lynx stopped, stared at them intently, and bared its sharp teeth.

Chen Ying crouched to stop Jinya, and smoothly took the lynx cub from its mouth.

The little lynx was really thin, all skin and bones, its left eye was inflamed, puss was already forming, and its right eye also appeared abnormal.
