Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 434 - 418: Does the Druid Also Have a Child-Gifting Skill?_2

(Air could flow through and it provided shelter from the rain, but people couldn't get in.)

After all, it had been a long time, and in a couple of places, the red bricks were damaged. They hadn't been repaired, just surveillance cameras had been installed on both corners of the building.

Generally, no one would look at the footage unless something was lost or the equipment was damaged.

Chen Ying lifted his chin and asked the small boys beside him,

"Is there anything inside?"

"We cleaned it out last time, but we left two large concrete tubes, left over from when they were laying pipes. I heard my uncle say that the tubes were too heavy to move back and it wouldn't be cost-efficient, so they were left behind, just in case they were needed again in the future."

Chen Ying nodded and asked who had the keys to this room.

"None of us have it, only the electrical engineering team does. Oh right, they seemed to have come today, but they went to the building next door to check the circuits; they didn't go into the storage room. Uncle, do you want to go in? I have the engineering team's phone number."

This child was clever! ƒreewebɳovel.com

The boy saddled his horse to go home and call his father, while on the other hand, Sonam came over and asked what was going on.

"I suspect there is something inside, possibly the culprit behind the sheep killings," Chen Ying explained while motioning for the children to keep their distance.

If it was as he suspected, should the creature feel cornered and lash out, he would be greatly at fault if it injured any of the children.

"Sonam, organize people to set up a net here. Once the door is open, act on my command."

The engineering team arrived promptly, and although a bit puzzled, they opened the door after the Village Chief vouched for them.

Chen Ying didn't let anyone else in; he grabbed his veterinary bag, geared up, and slipped through the door.

Little Jin's actions were faster, squeezing through the door as soon as a gap was opened.

Chen Ying saw Little Jin standing at the mouth of the concrete tube, vigilantly watching something inside.

Chen Ying didn't rush over. He took out his phone and observed through the camera mounted on Little Jin's chest. Sure enough, there were a pair of eyes inside the concrete tube staring steadfastly outside.

The tube was less than one meter in diameter and nearly four meters long, with one end against the wall and the other less than a meter from it. The light wasn't very good, allowing Chen Ying to see there was an animal inside, but he couldn't see clearly what it was.

Listening closely, Chen Ying had a hunch.

He approached the concrete tube cautiously and used his phone's flashlight feature for a quick look.

Hiss, just as he had guessed.

He retreated to the door and opened a small crack.

"Sonam, get me a basin with two taels of fresh meat. Classmate Dao, please go to the car and in the box I brought, mix some of that veterinary infant formula into one bottle, no, make it two."

Chen Ying recalled glimpsing what he had just seen; there were at least two cubs.

Dao Meihua didn't ask any questions; she turned and ran, with Sonam's nephew chasing after her, helping her mount a horse before they both headed toward the car.

The owner of the nearby tent quickly brought over some meat from his home.

Everyone gathered around but stayed consciously quiet, even keeping a respectful distance of two to three meters from the building.

Chen Ying didn't know what Little Jin had communicated to the animal, but about five minutes after he placed the meat-filled basin near the tube's opening, the Lynx Mother, looking emaciated and pitiful after giving birth, stuck her head out of the tube. She fixed her gaze on Chen Ying for a solid three minutes before stepping out, sniffing at the meat in the basin, and then began to swallow it in big gulps.

Chen Ying took the opportunity to snap some photos and sent them to Sonam, who was waiting outside.

When Sonam received the photos, he quickly found the Village Chief and the head of the engineering team, "Look, there is a lynx that has given birth inside, and it's not in great condition, probably starving."

The specifics would have to be evaluated by Chen Ying.

When the simple-hearted herders learned that the Big Cat was weakened from childbirth and could not find food, they brought fresh meat without a second thought.

Two or three taels, five or six taels—soon two large milk cans were filled.

Chen Ying came out once more and put another two taels of meat inside.

An adult Lynx normally ate four to five taels of meat with bones in a day. The Lynx Mother probably hadn't eaten for two days; her belly was sunken.

Chen Ying didn't disturb the Lynx Mother's meal and stepped out, calling Qing Ye to have someone come over and take a look, as well as to make a registration.

Other than hunger, this Lynx was fine and did not meet the criteria for shelter. It was likely that the local herders would be entrusted to care for it until its cubs were able to move, at which point they would be released on the spot.

The food expenses required during this period would be covered by Qing Ye.

After determining the basic situation, Chen Ying explained to Sonam and the others and sought their opinion on whether to have Qing Ye station someone there or whether they would take care of it, with Qing Ye covering the costs.

"We can handle it, and when the experts come to see it and decide not to take it away, my brother and I will come to take care of them," Sonam immediately agreed without hesitation.

"You don't have to do this alone, Sonam; our village committee will make arrangements," the Village Chief added, turning to the head of the engineering team, "Manager, let's leave this door unlocked for now, right? There's nothing in there anyway, and no one's going to be able to steal those big concrete tubes, right?"

There was no issue from the engineering team; as long as the power distribution room remained closed, they could temporarily store items there if needed.

Chen Ying took the two bottles of milk from Dao Meihua and went back inside.

After eating, the Lynx Mother's wariness toward Chen Ying diminished significantly. She licked the bottle and brightened up, eager to continue, but Chen Ying tapped her head.
