Chapter 57: Why are you licking my lips? Am I that kind of casual lynx? The experts have arrived, and there is more than one expert. Expert Song is about the same age as Professor Bai. She has short hair, is a little thin, and is not tall. She is a very cool and capable auntie. She was accompanied by two experts who specialized in studying rainbow pheasants, and three graduate students who were studying with expert Song. No one suspected that the eggs were stolen. After all, before the eggs were hatched, no one knew that there was a high-altitude endemic bird species, the White-tailed Pheasant, in this reserve. The two experts who came with Professor Song were Professor Wang and Dr. Gao. Dr. Gao was the one they had met at the bird watching station on the mountain before. It’s much easier to talk to people you know. And unlike what Chen Ying thought, no one asked him about the origin of the white-tailed pheasant eggs. At most, they asked him where he picked them up. "This bird habitually builds its nest on cliffs, and on cliffs at high altitudes. It is a miracle that you can find this nest of eggs in a mid-altitude area. Either the female bird fell into this area for some reason, or it was lost here by poachers. But the latter possibility is less than the former."

The experts came and went in a swarm, leaving the three reserved graduate students and the people at the rescue station looking at each other in bewilderment. Chen Ying was both happy and troubled. Professor Song just said that based on this nest of eggs, she will definitely help Chen Ying to get more research funds, but in return, she must occupy a position at the forest observatory. Actually, this is a good thing. Sister Dai told him privately that Professor Song was one of the top figures in the field of bird research in China, and with her presence, many problems could be easily solved. But Chen Ying didn't feel very good. The reason why he insisted on building the site in the forest was actually because he felt that his affinity with wild animals was becoming more and more outrageous. If you stay in the shelter for a long time, sooner or later someone will notice something is wrong. It’s not that he would be dragged away for sliced ​​​​or anything, but becoming the focus of attention would easily cause him to suppress his emotions or even explode. Don’t you understand the flaws in your own personality? What kind of person is that? To put it bluntly, he is just a different kind of autistic. The furries were so nice. They didn't scheme against him, nor did they covet his meager salary. Jin Ya even worried that he couldn't support himself, so she insisted on bringing him food every day. From the food Jin Ya brought back, they were able to analyze the composition of the surrounding ecological chain. Isn’t that outrageous? The news about the suspected South China tiger found in front of the rescue station has not yet passed, and the photos reported by the center’s official account and the Bird Research Institute have once again attracted the attention of domestic bird lovers. Some people even suspected that they were collectively falsifying the data, and some scientific researchers said they would conduct field investigations to unravel the mystery of how high-altitude birds nest in mid-altitude areas. The secret in his brain, unless they can find Brother Tong, they will never be able to figure it out even if they study it till they die. Three graduate students will live here temporarily. Their research topic is related to the Green-tailed Pheasant, and they will probably follow Dr. Gao to conduct research for a period of time. Dr. Gao accompanied the two experts to the breeding base of the Institute of Ornithology. After settling the White-tailed Pheasant, they rushed back to the mountain. Fortunately, during the last renovation, all the rooms on the third floor were converted into double rooms. When there are no outsiders, each room can be occupied. If there are not enough rooms, two people can squeeze into one room. "Didn't the Internet say that the pheasants' courtship is from March to June? What are you researching in the mountains now? How do they hatch their chicks?" Student Zhou Hao, who was wearing glasses, pushed his glasses up on his nose a little nervously and answered Yin Li's question honestly. "Our topic is about the habits of chicks. This is the time when most chicks are hatching, so we have to hurry up to the mountain."

Yin Li glanced at the three of them and frowned slightly. "I heard from Professor Gao that the habitat of the green-tailed pheasant is in the snow-capped meadows and bare rock areas above 3,000 meters above sea level. Can you adapt to it?" "It should be no problem. We went to high-altitude areas for testing before coming here. We dared to apply for this project only if there was no problem." That's true. Generally, people who suffer from altitude sickness wouldn't dare to risk their lives in exchange for their diploma. "Okay, you guys take a good rest these few days, and I'll go up the mountain with you when Teacher Gao comes back." After chatting for a while, the youngest of the three asked Yin Li why there was a lynx freely entering and leaving the rescue station, which seemed to be inconsistent with the rescue principles. "You're talking about Jin Ya." Yin Li explained with a smile, "It was seriously injured before, and it was Brother Ying who rescued it. After that, Jin Ya became attached to him. We let it go and it came back again. We can't just not let it in. Anyway, we just don't feed it and don't have too much contact with it. Brother Ying even submitted a report specifically, and the experts also have the same idea. Keep it wild, but it doesn't necessarily have to be kept away from humans." Yin Li thought about it and added another sentence. "There's an empty animal house behind the panda house. Don't go near it if you have nothing to do. Jinya's brother and his sister-in-law will stay there at night. They are much wilder, so don't hurt them by mistake." When the three crispy guys heard this, they became even more curious. In the evening, Jin Ya came back with a baby muntjac in her mouth. She jumped onto the dining platform built for her by Master Zhao in the corner of the yard and ate with relish. But he did not forget to leave a portion for Chen Ying, and also kept half of his favorite tender liver for the golden cat. As he was speaking, Chen Ying came out holding the little golden cat. The treatment was very effective. Today, the little golden cat walked around on the treatment table by itself. Although it was very slow, its steps were steady and it did not fall over again. Recently, it has not continued to live in the ICU, but has changed to a new cat bed for it to sleep in. After the last treatment today, Chen Ying wanted to let it out to bask in the sun and get some fresh air. Jinya's terrace is the best place for a walk. But I didn't expect Jin Ya to come back so early today and was eating upstairs. In this case, it would not be appropriate for Jin Mao to go over there. "Oh, come here quickly, I left some meat for you, it's delicious!" When Jin Ya saw Chen Ying coming out, she called out in a coquettish voice and patted the platform with her paws. Chen Ying was deeply touched by Jin Ya's persistent feeding. Little Golden Cat and Jin Ya often met through the glass window and became very familiar with each other. After being put on the platform, the little golden cat slowly moved over, called out to Jin Ya in a soft voice, and rubbed its head against Jin Ya's neck. Lynx and golden cat are both medium-sized cats. There is not much difference in size between the two, and both are members of the jungle overlord circle. The moment Jin Ya's head was rubbed by the golden cat, her whole body froze. After looking blankly at Chen Ying who was standing beside it with a smile, it turned back tentatively and licked the golden cat's fur. Ugh, what a weird smell! There is no way. Even if you clean it carefully every day, the liquid remaining on the golden cat's hair after the fumigation cannot be wiped off. Only after it fully recovers and gives it a bath can you get rid of the smell of the medicine. Feeling Jin Ya's kindness, the little golden cat curled up the corners of its mouth, and licked the corner of Jin Ya's mouth, scaring the lynx girl so much that she leaned back tactically! Lick your lips, dammit!

(Don’t look at me as weak and helpless now, but I am indeed a ferocious cat) (End of this chapter)
