Chapter 80 Heading to the Rescue Station, A Frenzied Black Bear?!
Chapter 80 Heading to the Rescue Station, A Frenzied Black Bear?!
People from the Forestry Bureau came to the farm today, saying they wanted to check on Zhu'er's condition.
Wild animals live in people's homes, so forestry bureau personnel need to patrol and inspect them.
The person who came was Wu Fei, an old acquaintance.
When Wu Fei arrived, he saw Xu Ran standing in an open space, playing with two sparrows in her hands.
He thought he was seeing things.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed a sparrow.
This scene was still somewhat shocking.
"Brother Ran, the forestry bureau people are here!"
At this moment, Li Wu shouted loudly at Xu Ran.
Xu Ran turned around and saw Wu Fei, and greeted him:
"Wu Fei, it's been a long time."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the sparrow in his hand flew away.
"I have a patrol assignment today, so I need to come here to record Zhu Er's activities."
"I'm coming."
Wu Fei explained, glancing around as he spoke.
Just then, he saw a large wild boar emerge from the living area and run away at top speed.
"Holy crap, a wild boar!"
Wu Fei was startled.
"It's alright, that wild boar doesn't hurt people. It just acted like that when it saw the forestry bureau and police officers coming."
"He has learned it very well."
Xu Ran explained with a smile.
"The cuckoo only comes here occasionally; it must live in a lake somewhere in the mountains."
"After all, it is more suited to living in watery areas and eating things like loach, crucian carp, frogs, and snails."
"Just dropping by my place."
Hearing Xu Ran's words, Wu Fei nodded.
Zhu Yifei happened to be here today, and Wu Fei's arrival was quite coincidental.
"Were you teasing the sparrows just now?" Wu Fei couldn't help but ask, recalling the scene from earlier.
"Yes, there are many sparrows on the farm. I feed them every few days. Two of them are bold and have gradually become close to me."
"When no one's around, I just wave and they come down."
Xu Ran responded.
"That's outrageous! You can even tame wild sparrows?" Wu Fei exclaimed in genuine admiration.
It's a shame that someone with such talent isn't doing fieldwork in the forestry department.
After all, there are many strange and dangerous animals in the forest, and having someone who knows how to train animals makes traveling safer.
"Have you considered opening a class? These days, many people's pets are disobedient, and dog training videos are really popular online. You could go into dog training as a major."
Wu Fei made another suggestion.
To be honest, his suggestion is actually quite interesting.
Xu Ran has the skill of "Beast Tamer", but there is not much room for him to use it.
Because the animals he raises are either battle pets or obtained through lotteries, and they are all incredibly obedient.
He doesn't need to train me; I can do everything myself.
If I could take on the challenge of training a vicious dog, it wouldn't be a bad idea.
"The farm is too remote, it's inconvenient for others to come here."
"Besides, it gets too chaotic when too many people come, so we don't do that kind of business anymore."
"Training a dog depends on the owner. I might train the dog well and it will obey me, but when its owner is on a leash, it will disobey."
"So it's fine to just play around with it by yourself."
Xu Ran explained with a smile.
At this point, Wu Fei suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up.
He asked mysteriously:
"Can you tame a bear?"
"Bear? Black bear or brown bear? I've only ever been around giant pandas, and I had no problems. Black bears are small, so I can get along with them too. But brown bears are a different story. They're too big, about as strong as tigers, so I can't get too close."
Xu Ran replied very seriously.
"We just rescued a wild black bear yesterday. It had a broken arm and we wanted to treat it. It was very aggressive and even bit the iron cage. It was the first time we had ever seen such a violent black bear."
"The people at the rescue station don't know how to raise them anymore, so they're afraid to let them out."
Wu Fei explained.
The Qinling Mountains are home to a wide variety of wild animals.
Besides giant pandas, takins, golden monkeys, and crested ibises, there are also lynxes, jackals, wolves, foxes, civets, leopards, leopard cats, and various kinds of deer, birds, snakes, frogs, and butterflies.
Now, due to the increase in hikers entering the mountains, which has caused great environmental impact, the Qinling Mountains have been closed off, preventing outsiders from easily entering.
This place is a treasure trove of natural resources.
There are also black bears here.
"A very fierce black bear? I can help take a look, but wild animals aren't really that tame or untamed; it's just a matter of whether we can calm it down."
"I have some experience in this area."
Xu Ran thought about it for a moment. She had nothing to do these past two days, so she was just idling around anyway.
Why don't you go to the first aid station?
There are many rescued wild animals over there, so it's worth taking a stroll around.
"Okay, then I'll take some pictures of Zhu Er. I'm going to the ambulance station anyway, let's go together."
"No problem, I'll follow in my car."
Xu Ran agreed.
Then tell Li Wu where you are going and tell him to call if there's anything going on at the farm.
Then, Xu Ran got into the car and drove off with Wu Fei.
After he left, Wang Hai and the other two saw Xu Ran drive away, and then asked Li Wu:
"Li Wu, what's going on? Where did Ran go?"
"I went to the Forestry Bureau and overheard them talking about something that happened to the black bears; they were going to tame one."
Li Wu explained to them.
"Taming a black bear?!"
The three of them were immediately dumbfounded, looking at each other and not knowing what to say.
The aid station isn't too far from the farm, about a 30-minute drive.
Because they are all suburban roads, there is no traffic jam at all, so it's a quick drive.
If it's in the city center, this distance would take at least an hour.
Soon, the vehicle stopped, and Xu Ran got out.
The management station is a large compound surrounded by a wall, containing a three-story office building, a dormitory building, and some single-story houses.
There was an area enclosed by wire mesh around the bungalow, and Xu Ran saw a golden monkey inside.
It's a government department after all; even golden monkeys can be seen there.
There are only five or six people at the conservation station.
Xu Ran, the person in charge here, also recognized him; he was Sun Wei, the captain of the last inspection team.
Sun Wei has dark skin and looks like a tough guy, but he is actually very passionate about animal rescue and has a gentle heart. Because of his strong abilities, he often leads expeditions to remote mountains.
"Station Chief, I just went to Xu Ran's farm. He's lived in the mountains for a long time and knows the temperament of animals. I asked him to come and check on the black bears," Wu Fei reported to Sun Wei.
Sun Wei saw Xu Ran and smiled:
"Director Xu, welcome."
"Sorry to bother you, I may not be able to help, but I'd like to see how things go."
"Black bears are generally timid, but Wu Fei described the black bear as very aggressive, biting the cage. I felt something was wrong."
Xu Ran responded.
Upon hearing Xu Ran's words, Sun Wei's expression also became more serious.
"That's not quite right. We anesthetized it yesterday, repositioned the bone, and did some simple bandaging."
"The black bear woke up today and was still very agitated, biting at its cage."
"When we fed it, it rushed over and barked at us, scaring a little girl at the station to tears. She refused to feed it anymore."
Xu Ran hadn't expected the black bear's condition to be so serious.
Then, he followed Sun Wei forward.
A short while later, they arrived at a room.
The room door was the kind with iron bars, made up of thick iron pipes.
Just as Xu Ran approached, the black bear heard the noise and suddenly rushed out, roaring at the person through the fence, looking extremely frightening.
Sun Wei and Wu Fei watched from the sidelines, somewhat helpless.
Xu Ran also looked towards the black bear.
He had a good understanding of the habits of wild animals.
Although Sun Wei and Wu Fei work for the Forestry Bureau and often go out on fieldwork, they are better at handling business matters and may not be very familiar with the temperament of wild animals.
They originally planned to ask the forestry bureau's experts, but the experts didn't come. Now that Xu Ran is here, they'll ask him to take a look.
Xu Ran understood the black bear's situation with just one glance.
"I know why it's so irritable now."
Xu Ran turned to look at Sun Wei and said.
"Look at it, there's milk on its breasts, which means it's breastfeeding."
"It must have cubs; the black bear cubs were hiding in the forest and weren't discovered when the bear was rescued."
"The mother bear is so agitated because she can't find her cubs."
Upon hearing Xu Ran's words, both Sun Wei and Wu Fei were deeply shocked.
"We just rescued it yesterday, so the little black bear shouldn't have gone far."
"Go to the place where black bears are rescued and try to save the little black bear too."
"This guy should be safe now."
Xu Ran spoke again.
