The little white shadow hiding behind the tree froze. It timidly and reluctantly moved to Lu Chen's side.
"Sit here and wait. I'll set up a tent.”
Lu Chen's face was cold as he said this stiffly. Then, he turned around and started to set up the tent.
The little nestling was definitely not suitable to move any further. Even if it was wrapped in a towel, there would be slight bumps on the way.
Therefore, although there was no large open space nearby and it was not very suitable for setting up camp, Lu Chen still chose to settle down here.
As if sensing Lu Chen's unusual anger, Xiao Xuefeng obediently lay on the ground. She looked at the little chick wrapped in a towel for a while and then looked at Lu Chen timidly, like a child who had done something wrong and was waiting for her parents to punish her.
After setting up the tent and laying out the sleeping bag, Lu Chen carefully took the folded towel over and took a look.
Naturally, the effects of food and medicine could not take effect so quickly. However, with sufficient heat preservation, although the nestling's breathing was still very rapid, it was much more stable than before.
Lu Chen let out a long breath and looked up at Xiao Xuefeng who was lying obediently not far away.
"Xuefeng, come here."
Hearing Lu Chen calling it, Xiao Xuefeng seemed to realize that Lu Chen was going to "blame" it. It slowly rubbed against it like a dog, lowering its head and not daring to look at Lu Chen.
"Let me ask you, did you take this little guy out from the tree?”
Lu Chen pointed at the towel in his arms, then pointed at the tree beside him, and finally looked at Xiao Xuefeng and asked.
Xiao Xuefeng was a snow leopard and was naturally good at climbing.
Although it was still young, it might be a racial talent.
Lu Chen had observed before that it could climb trees that were generally less than ten meters tall faster than anyone else.
It was completely capable of climbing up the tree to dig out the bird's nest.
During this period of time, as long as she used hand gestures to help her understand, the smart Xiao Xuefeng could already understand most of Lu Chen's questions. She could even understand that nodding was affirmation and shaking her head was denial.
It naturally understood what Lu Chen had just said.
It instantly became anxious. Its furry little head swayed left and right for a long time before it rushed under the tree and made a pulling gesture. Then, it ran to Lu Chen and pretended to put down something.
"Are you trying to say that it fell from the tree and you picked it up?”
Lu Chen frowned and asked.
Xiao Xuefeng nodded and whimpered.
"Did you bite off its leg?”
Lu Chen lifted the towel and pointed at the broken right leg of the little chick.
Xiao Xuefeng shook his head again.
Did he blame it wrongly?
“……”
Lu Chen was silent for a moment before waving at Xiao Xuefeng without looking at it.
"Alright, I got it. Go play by yourself.”
Xiao Xuefeng felt that Lu Chen's attitude was a little colder than before and felt a little wronged. However, Lu Chen was in a fit of anger, so it did not dare to get close to him and act coquettishly. It could only walk to a nearby tree and silently lie down in the direction of Lu Chen's tent.
After a while, someone in the live broadcast room said weakly,
Brother Lu, weren't you a little too fierce with Xiao Xuefeng just now? It was indeed not the one who bit off the chick's leg, nor was it the one who stole it from the nest. There was no need to get angry with it…It was also a baby…
"I know."
Lu Chen took a deep breath and shook his head.
"It was my fault just now. I vented my personal emotions on it. It was my fault.
And I was indeed very annoyed because I brought Xiaofeng here. In a sense, it was also a biological invasion because there shouldn't be a carnivorous beast like the snow leopard here, even though it was only a baby.”
Lu Chen paused for a moment, and his tone was a little downcast.
"This little chick is much more seriously injured than everyone thought.
I can't tell if the large and small hematoma on its body was caused by external force or internal bone dislocations.
If it was an external impact, it might be better. If it was caused by an internal skeletal displacement, even if it could survive, there was no way to correct it now.
In other words, even if it survived, it might be a disabled bird that couldn't fly.”
If it's an internal skeletal displacement, can it be treated by bringing it back to the city when it grows up?
"You can, but…"
Lu Chen nodded.
Then Brother Lu doesn't have to worry! In the past, I've also followed some videos of wild animals being treated. There are many disabled animals who live very well and happily after being treated!
That's right, surviving was the greatest fortune!
Brother Lu, you have to think of it this way. Meeting you is a chance for it to survive. You've given it this chance, but whether it can grasp it or not depends on itself!
That's right, Brother Lu, you don't have to blame yourself and feel guilty at all, because you've already done what you can. The rest will depend on its own fate!
"You guys sure know how to comfort people.”
Looking at the people in the live broadcast room comforting him, Lu Chen felt a little relieved.
That's right, we'll do our best and leave it to fate.
This was all he could do now!
After sorting out his mood, Lu Chen patted his face and got up to change into the thin and airy mosquito repellent clothing.
The stuffy feeling was swept away. Lu Chen took a spotlight flashlight and filtered some water from the nearby stream. He also collected some branches and dead wood and returned to the camp to start a fire.
After starting the fire, Lu Chen originally wanted to go back to the tent to see how the little chick was doing. However, when he opened the tent curtain, he saw that two mosquito coil incense, one white and one black, were already firmly coiled next to the towel that Lu Chen had pasted on himself.
She looked as if she had burned the towel.
"You two really know how to enjoy life.”
Lu Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry. He lifted the towel and took a look.
The little chick was no different from before, but the meat in its crop was obviously less than before.
It could digest food, there was hope!
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Lu Chen quickly climbed out and filled two bottles of hot water with thick plastic bottles. Then, he pulled a small piece of medical sterile pad and climbed back in.
The self-heating paste was only a stopgap measure. After sticking it on for a long time, it would still dry up and get hot. Moreover, Lu Chen did not bring too much with him. He still had to save some for when he went back to the snow line.
It was not as convenient and cheap as a hot water bottle.
After placing the sterile pad under the nestling and wrapping the two thermos bottles with a towel, Lu Chen put the nestling back in peace. Before he went out, he did not forget to pat the sisters 'little heads.
"You two have to take good care of the new baby.”
The little black flash python had always been obedient. After hearing Lu Chen's words, it seemed to be welcoming the little chick. It twisted its little body and seemed very happy.
The small white flash python smashed its tail in disappointment.
F * ck, it was clearly a fight for favor, so why was his silly sister so happy?？
Can't figure it out.jpg
Perhaps it was because she was angry with Lu Chen, but Xiao Xuefeng, who usually slept with Lu Chen, did not enter the tent today.
Lu Chen did not coax it and let it be.
However, when it slept, it did not pull down the wind curtain and left a door for it.
Lu Chen did not sleep well that night.
After a while, she would wake up and subconsciously touch the small towel beside her pillow to see if the little chick was still alive.
After confirming that it was still breathing, he could rest assured and continue sleeping.
He was relieved, but the result was that when Lu Chen got up the next day, he found that his eyes were blue, as if he had been punched.
The night of worry was not in vain. Even Lu Chen could not help but praise this little chick for being tough.
To be able to survive such an injury.
Lu Chen checked the feces on the medical sterile pad early in the morning, but he did not find any dark red blood.
This meant that the little guy did not have internal bleeding.
What surprised Lu Chen even more was that although this little chick could not move its body much, it could already raise its head and open its eyes a little when it was feeding.
This was a good sign.
Early in the morning, he was busy feeding the nestling, starting a fire, boiling water, and filling new bottles. By the time he finished cleaning up the tent and could set off, it was almost nine o'clock.
This is the downside of raising a baby.jpg
Carrying the mountaineering backpack, the little chick, and the two little flash python sisters, Lu Chen was about to call for Xiao Xuefeng to follow him, but he realized that it was biting his pants and dragging him in a direction.
His eyes were filled with unprecedented determination.
What was going on…?
Lu Chen was a little confused.
However, looking at Xiao Xuefeng's stance of tearing its pants if it did not follow him, Lu Chen had no choice but to follow it and see what it was up to.
Lu Chen was not unfamiliar with the direction that Xiao Xuefeng brought him in.
This was the direction he had gone in when he explored the cave yesterday.
If there was no deviation, they would reach the small sinkhole if they walked a little further.
However, when they arrived near the small sinkhole, Xiaoxue Feng did not stop. She maintained her speed and continued to move forward.
It had been more than two hours. Where was it taking him?
Lu Chen frowned.
Fortunately, after running for more than ten minutes, Xiao Xuefeng stood under a huge tree and started to cry at the gray-white thing beside her feet.
Lu Chen went forward to take a look and was stunned.
It was the corpse of a bird that seemed to have been dead for a few days.
Due to the hot and humid weather, the corpse had already begun to rot, emitting an unbearable rancid smell. There were ants crawling all over it.
However, Lu Chen could still tell its species from its distinctive feathers and beak.
It was actually a gyrfalcon.
The gyrfalcon who was known as the "King of Ten Thousand Eagles" and "Lord of Snow Mountain" in the legends!
