Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl
Chapter 521 - 472: Revenge from the Cat_2

The little kitten mainly suffered from lacerations, but fortunately, its internal organs were not injured.

Moreover, there was medicine applied to their bodies, although it was done carelessly, with chewed herbs directly applied to the wounds, but it was very effective, just enough to save the kittens' lives.

Cleaning, stitching, bandaging.

While treating, they also had to pay attention to their oxygen supply and anesthesia.

Thankfully, Dao Meihua brought three assistants, otherwise, if it was just Chen Ying alone, at least she would need two more hands to barely ensure the surgery could be completed.

"Dr. Chen, the kitten's heartbeat has returned to normal, but the body temperature is still a bit high. We can't perform a blood test here; should we send it to the hospital?"

Chen Ying pondered for a moment, turned around to find Big Beauty, and had someone bring the two kittens in the ICU chamber to this room as well.

"Their wounds have been treated, but there are no instruments here, so it's unclear if there's any internal injury and we still need to check the blood to see if there are other latent symptoms. Therefore, I suggest sending them to the hospital for a detailed examination. You..."

Chen Ying glanced at the mother cat sleeping under the influence of the medication, "Do you stay here to inform your partners or come with us to the hospital?"

Big Beauty thought seriously for a while, "Wait, let me find a cat to inform my brothers. I'll go with you."

The conversation with Big Beauty always gave him the feeling of facing a human.

Leopard Sister and Jinya are considered quite intelligent, and even Sasa is not lacking IQ, but when Chen Ying faces them, he can still sense that they are animals, with a significant difference in their way of thinking compared to humans.

But Big Beauty is different, as if a human soul is housed in the body of a feline.

"Okay, hurry up and come back quickly; we'll get everything arranged and leave soon."

Big Beauty nodded, lowered her head to lick the mother cat's forehead fur, jumped off the table, and went out the door.

Just as Dao Meihua was about to come in, seeing it run away, she thought it was going back to the forest.

"It's going with us, probably going back to say hi first; there are a few more cats with it."

After adding a bit more recovery medication to the mother cat, Chen Ying turned to Dao Meihua.

"Thank you for setting aside your own affairs to help me."

"No need to be so polite, my side is almost done too, just a bit of wrapping up work."

She looked at the mother cat and the two kittens, curiously asking if they fought with the gibbons?

"Probably not them, but certainly related to them. I looked at the injuries on the kittens; they are torn."

After pausing for a moment, Chen Ying was somewhat puzzled, "The white-browed long-armed apes I know are relatively gentle animals, they mainly feed on vegetation, occasionally eating insects and small bird eggs, but I've never heard of them preying on vertebrates."

"Could it be a conflict over food?"

Dao Meihua also learned about the clouded leopard and white-browed gibbons, both species are arboreal, but the clouded leopard often searches for crevices in cliffs to give birth, whereas the gibbons spend almost their entire lives in the trees.

Big Beauty returned quickly, and just as Chen Ying and his team finished packing, it was already back.

"I told them; they just need to wait for me to bring Mom back."

Big Beauty circled on the table twice, sat down looking at Chen Ying, "You can save Mom, right?"

Out of habit, Chen Ying reached out to rub her head, "I said I will do my best, but I can't give you a full guarantee."

Big Beauty seems to frown, sighing, "Okay, okay, they say if you can't do it, no two-legged beast can. I'll trust you for now."

"They? Who are they?"

"Many; flying birds, those nasty things we fight over territory with, and a big guy."

Perhaps because the mother cat's condition was more stable, Big Beauty's mood was not so heavy anymore, simply lying down chatting with Chen Ying while waiting to depart.

"I didn't know before, but when you were there chatting with the big mouse, I knew it was you."

Big mouse? Chen Ying thought for a moment, suddenly recalling his time stationed near the peacock pheasant, where he encountered a red-bellied squirrel. The little guy was hanging upside down trying to eat some food and almost fell and hit him on the head.

Chen Ying caught it and helped it use his body as leverage to get back onto the tree.

This little guy turned out to be a grateful squirrel, and when it reencountered Chen Ying, it even brought him small gifts.

During the boring waiting time, Chen Ying chatted casually with it.

Unfortunately, the little squirrel lived a solitary life, apart from collecting food, it rarely interacted with others of its kind, so Chen Ying didn't get any useful information from it.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ying didn't get any intel, but Big Beauty was able to confirm his identity from his interactions with the little squirrel.

This guy probably could go on to graduate studies.

Subsequent developments unfolded as Chen Ying experienced last night, when realizing the possibility of the mother dying, Big Beauty decisively sought help.

"Are the cats with you your actual brothers?"

"No, only the brother is; the others are friends."

The brother Big Beauty refers to should be the strong big cat that protected the mother cat down the cliff.

"We don't usually live together; my territory is a bit up the mountain, from here to the water place in the valley is brother's territory, and the territories of the other friends are next to ours. Brother is very strong; his territory is large, he patrols every day, and with mom having new kids, she won't let me or brother get close."

Big Beauty didn't know how the mother and two kittens ended up fighting with those ugly folks, she only knew about it when the two kittens were barely holding on.

However, she was smart and beautiful, with many friends, when sending out a distress signal, several cats came to help.

Brother was very angry and led his friends to besiege the juveniles among the ugly folks.

They initially intended to kill just one and call it a day, but two big ones were discovered, turning it into an unavoidable, deadly fight.

"We weren't injured because a big guy helped us."

Big Beauty didn't know how to describe it, waving her head after some gestures, "I can't explain, next time I come back, I'll introduce you to it."

Chen Ying was also curious about what could be considered a big guy in Gao Ligon Mountain.

The team led by Dao Meihua moved swiftly; they hadn't chatted for long when the vehicle was ready.

The rescue vehicle, modified from an RV, was a big leap that left the bumpkin Chen Dade in awe.

The center, initially designed as a bed and sofa, had been transformed into a small operating room, accommodating two people for surgery.

The rear of the vehicle housed a large and two small compartments for immobilizing injured animals, preventing collisions due to external forces during transport.

Each compartment door was equipped with a dedicated infusion device, even an intelligent dripping system was installed.

The vehicle was furnished with a fresh air system, able to conduct rapid disinfection and sterilization, storing surgical instruments and medications in a cabinet with an upper and lower door, plus a dedicated medicine fridge was provided.

"This vehicle was customized by me, it's the first time using it, I don't know how effective it will be; let's consider it a test drive, come on, let's take a look inside."

Chen Ying placed the mother cat and Big Beauty into the large compartment, putting the two ICU small compartments directly into a small chamber and securing them firmly. There was a small round table with a bench placed in between the three compartments, assisting the traveling nurse with monitoring the animals' conditions.

Opposite the operating room were two hidden seats, stowed away when not in use to save space, automatically extending at the push of a button when needed.

The driver's seat up front was spacious and could act as a temporary bed if necessary.

The single bed at the vehicle's front remained, convenient for overnight stays during outings.

Besides this vehicle, two other vehicles also departed.

Yet, the simple surgical equipment and disinfection gear provided by Dao Meihua previously were left behind, doors locked for ready use when necessary.

The assistant doctor and the nurse in charge of anesthesia took another vehicle, while Chen Ying, Dao Meihua, along with the nurse responsible for postoperative care rode the surgical vehicle.

Close to three hours of travel brought them to the Dao family's animal emergency hospital.

Two medical teams were already awaiting their arrival, and the kittens were immediately taken to the examination room for a detailed checkup.

The team configuration remained the same as before, with the assistant doctor leading two nurses, specially focusing on various animal examinations and treatments, while surgeries were organized by a dedicated surgical doctor.

After settling Big Beauty and the mother cat, Chen Ying went to meet Professor Bai, conveying his judgment to the teacher.
