Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 131: Under the Watchful Eyes, They Actually Did This

Chen Ying knocked on the door, interrupting the quarrel between the two people inside.

"Ali, what time did you arrange to meet with the deputy head of the station and the village cadre? I'll go up first, just call me directly when you have everything arranged."

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man inside spat and stormed out.

"Who is this guy?"

"An old employee who acts like he's owed something because of his age. Don't mind him; every place has people like that."

Yin Li didn't even take him seriously; compared to dealing with someone like that, work was more important.

"Now with the whole country developing the tourism economy, Xiaozhai Village and the other two villages deeper inside don't have any other projects to develop. Last year, under the guidance of forestry experts, we increased the cultivation of Schisandra berries. But with limited land and a high population, we still need to set up other projects."

The Protection Station, apart from conducting forest resources protection, monitoring and prevention of forest diseases and pests, and forest fire prevention, also organizes collective and individual agricultural production in the countryside, providing guidance and inspection of forest production and management activities.

The Jiamu Gully Protection Station, located within the nature reserve, also undertook research and publicity work.

Xiaozhai Village and three other impoverished villages are deep in the mountains, within the natural village areas of the nature reserve.

There had been thoughts of moving them all down, but the locals didn't want to, so the government could only lead them away from destructive farming and hunting.

But people need to eat, and reliance on aid alone won't cut it.

Now, with the collective efforts of the new village cadres, they wanted to leverage the tourism boom of recent years to connect these villages and create a natural sightseeing circuit.

"The initial idea is to create a bird-watching circuit, utilizing the natural environment and installing some boardwalks and stone paths to connect several villages. But because it's in the reserve, it's very likely to encounter wild animals on the way, so I need your help to think of a solution for that."

Chen Ying alone definitely couldn't manage it; the reason for seeking him was to use his connections to reach out to several universities and wildlife experts to jointly find a feasible solution.

After briefly explaining, Chen Ying admitted he really didn't understand these matters, but he knew someone who was adept at it.

"My teacher, Professor Bai's eldest daughter and son-in-law, are experts at designing tourism routes. I'll help you contact them; they're specialists in this field."

That's exactly what Yin Li wanted.

He set up a group and asked Chen Ying to help add people to it, planning to suggest meeting up after they had discussed.

"By the way, didn't your teacher's youngest daughter want to come and work with you on traditional veterinary medicine research? Whatever happened to that?"

Chen Ying gave him a look, "She initially simply wanted to research with you, but after you guys chatted nonsense in the group, she became embarrassed. I heard from the teacher that she went to the River Source Nature Reserve to become a veterinarian. She's doing well and even frequently shows off by sharing pictures."

Especially the photo of the fox director that Young Junior Sister shared recently; it became a viral hit.

Chen Ying was also thinking that in a year or two, when Little Sen was able to run their little shelter independently, he'd find a chance to visit the River Source area and see the cute creatures from other places.

At noon, after work, he tagged along with Yin Li for a free meal in the canteen and then headed up the mountain.

Arriving at the mountain Protection Station, he got out of the car and saw Duoduo and two other dogs running wild in the yard, with the mother wolf lying on the platform where Jinya used to eat, watching them play with a gaze full of motherly love.

The puddle across had signs of overflowing water. Who had come here for a bath?

"Who else could it be, the street rat."

Hearing the noise, Little Deng came out to help unload and complained as well.

"It went and wreaked havoc at the bee farm again, covered in honey, and even knew to come here for a bath. That black bear is practically a bear spirit."

The female clerk also poked her head out to add a comment.

"They've called the hive several times already, asking if anything could be done about this bear. What could I say? We can't hit it, and yelling doesn't work. All we could do was to pacify them," said Yin Li.

Chen Ying slapped his forehead, "Last time, I mentioned getting in touch with the hive, but with all the hustle and bustle, I completely forgot."

Previously, there was a netizen who shared a story about a hive abroad that was constantly harassed by a brown bear.

Latter, the owner of that hive came up with an idea. He laid out samples of honey according to the hive numbers. When the brown bear came, he let it choose which to taste.

The honey favored by the bear was definitely good, and as a result, their honey sales sky-rocketed.

"Look, we can actually organize a similar event here. Think about how we can implement this. As for when the black bear will visit, we can install infrared surveillance at the entrance and exit of the hive. As soon as it shows up, it will trigger an alert, and then we need to be prepared to act fast here. Remember to record the whole thing, too—a full, unedited version has more credibility," Chen Ying suggested.

Little Deng's thoughts were even more divergent, suggesting that they should simply start a live broadcasting room, offering a 24-hour slow feed, focusing on the raw and authentic experience.

They didn't need to put in much effort either, just turn on the camera and connect it to the live broadcast.

Since the hive already had security personnel patrolling, they would just need to check the camera operation daily.

"That's a great idea, I'm going to contact them right now," said a nimble office girl as she rushed to get in touch with the hive. Chen Ying packed his personal items, ready to head into the mountains.

"Hey, that bear's here," Little Deng pointed out. Chen Ying turned his head and, wow, it was actually two bears!

After careful identification, Chen Ying had a guess. He took out his phone, contacted the staff at the Black Bear Garden, and sure enough, the black bear that came with the street rat was the one that the garden had just tried to reintroduce to the wild—the street rat's beloved bear.

The two bears approached, one after the other.

Showing no fear whatsoever, the street rat sat down directly in the pool, splashing water around and inviting the girl to join for a bath.

Chen Ying, with one hand on his chest, looked on with a face full of silent disbelief.

Ever heard of politeness? In full view of everyone, you two are actually...

Well, okay, it's just a bath after all.

Plus, they do come with their own fur coats.

Chen Ying took a few pears from Little Deng and tossed them to the street rat, then took one for himself, squatting on the curb for a casual chat.

He said, "Listen, are you causing trouble at the hive every single day? How about I find you a job? If you do it well, they'll supply you with honey."

"What? Sweet? I want!"

The street rat swam over, lay on the edge of the pool munching on the pear, and proudly boasted.

"You see my wife? Isn't she pretty? Much more so than that mother bear you like."

Come on, Brother Xiong, playing one bear against another isn't cool. It's only because she's pregnant and can't hassle you. If you've got the guts, say it to her face after she's given birth, if she doesn't beat you into a pulp that'd be a real surprise!

The street rat nibbled away and then looked back to see that its wife hadn't finished eating half a pear yet.

"Can we have another one? My wife likes them."

Pfft, is it your wife who likes them or you? Don't think I didn't see you hiding one in your arms for her!

People always talk about mischievous monkeys, but I never thought a bear could be just as cunning!
