Chen Ying glanced at him, then at Yin Li, "I'll go back and ask. I knew some bosses before who liked hunting. They have gun licenses and hunting dogs, maybe they can help."
"Thank you, thank you so much. Brother Ying, here's my phone number, please jot it down. If you make contact, just let me know, I can handle everything over there."
Watching the young man return satisfied to chat with his companions, Yin Li leaned over and quietly asked if he really planned to go and take a look?
"Looking isn't illegal. Those two bosses I knew before in Shennongjia knew some legally registered hunters with gun licenses."
Yin Li slightly raised an eyebrow, "If your timing to go over is right, I'll come along and take a look too."
Chen Ying smiled without speaking, subtly nodding his head.
Dao Meihua had been sitting by the side chatting with others. Her peripheral vision caught the two of them whispering, and her voice faltered slightly.
"Sister Meihua, are you and Dr. Chen actually dating? He doesn't look like a boyfriend to me."
Dao Meihua didn't respond, directly changing the topic.
"Did all the zoos applying to introduce the caracal have their applications approved a while ago?"
"About ten applied, but only four got approved. One of them didn't meet the standard for its enclosures. They need to renovate and pass inspection by March next year to proceed with the introduction, otherwise, it'll be void."
After she finished speaking, the girl belatedly looked at Dao Meihua, "Sister Meihua, are you thinking about raising one too?"
"What nonsense. " After a brief silence, she explained, "Didn't I mention before that my sister-in-law's family runs a vacation villa, planning to build a boutique zoo in the area? She asked me for information. I wasn't sure, so I thought I'd ask you."
The two of them quietly talked about the zoo for a while. When they finished, they realized Chen Ying and Yin Li were gone.
After waiting for a while without them returning, Dao Meihua was about to ask others if they knew where the two had gone when she heard Chen Ying's voice.
"Jinya, let them go, let them go Jinya, let go, don't kill them."
"Oh man, Jinya, take it easy," Yin Li's voice followed closely, "Jinya, where did you drag them from, don't do anything reckless."
A group of people stood up abruptly, looking towards where the sound was coming from.
A few minutes later, to everyone's stupefaction, Jinya came over with a small red panda with black fur in its mouth.
Besides the one in its mouth, Yin Li was holding two more in his hands.
"My god!" everyone whispered in surprise, "Are these red panda cubs? What's going on, how did we find red panda cubs here?"
"I don't know, Jinya brought them back. Brother Ying went to check on the situation. We don't know where the Little Panda Mother is or if she's safe."
They're now at an altitude of 2800 meters, which theoretically is a region where red pandas could live. But actually, they've been coming back and forth in this area for several years and have never seen red pandas appear.
The only nearby red panda community to the rescue station is near the Hot Spring Valley at about 1800 meters altitude.
Over twenty minutes later, Chen Ying returned with a dark expression.
"The Little Panda Mother has been confirmed dead, done by jackals or wolves." He glanced at the three weak red panda cubs, sighing lightly, "Besides these three, there's also the corpse of one cub, only half remains."
Everyone looked silently at the three little ones on the ground. After a while, a young man spoke angrily.
"It must have been those two wolves!"
(Tried several times, but couldn't draw very tiny red panda cubs, tragic)
