Chapter 280 -280: The Two-legged Beast Almost Cried from Fright
Chen Ying was terrified and scrambled over to save the person.
Upon arrival, he didn’t know how to start speaking without hurting feelings.
Actually, it was normal for Xiao Shen to be scared. After all, who wouldn’t be afraid of encountering a black bear in the wild, let alone two black bear cubs, which would be enough trouble for anyone.
The reason he froze wasn’t that he thought Xiao Shen was embarrassingly cowardly, but …
“Ow ow, this two-legged beast is mine, he can compete with me in tree climbing!”
Big Yueya, bobbing his head, climbed upwards, almost reaching Xiao Shen’s foot, which frightened Xiao Shen into climbing higher while simultaneously blowing his whistle.
Before today, if anyone had said Xiao Shen would cry, Chen would have fiercely smashed their head.
But now, he couldn’t tell if it was tears or sweat rolling down from the corners of his eyes.
Seeing Chen Ying approaching, Xiao Shen felt anxious and scared.
“Brother Ying, quick, get away, there are two black bear cubs, their mother must be nearby…”
He stopped mid-sentence as his teary-eyed gaze fixed upon him.
His Brother Ying, directly picked up the bear cub sitting on the ground waiting for him, and then slapped it three times.
“Big Yueya, I give you three seconds, come down or I’ll come up.”
The bear cub, engrossed in scratching his shoe, visibly stiffened for a moment, then scurried down three times faster than it climbed up, and then, hugging the man’s leg, started whimpering.
Wait, can black bears whimper?
Just as Xiao Shen began to question life, he saw a large black bear pop its head out from behind a tree, its gaze cold and murderous.
“Brother Ying, run, Big Bear is coming!”
As he stretched his neck, red-faced and frantically warning, the black bear rose on its hind legs, arms raised high, and lunged at Chen Ying.
“Ah!~~ Huh?”
Xiao Shen was about to let go and slide down to save him when he saw his Brother Ying squat and dodge to the side, leaving the black bear to pounce on thin air, then turn its head and clutch onto Chen Ying’s waist, all the while bawling, its voice sounding somewhat pitiful?
He, he couldn’t have heard it wrong, could he? A black bear feeling wronged?
Chen Ying held Little Yueya with one hand and grabbed Big Yueya by the ear with the other, also having to attend to the street rat’s complaints. This was hard for him!
But what did the street rat say? Because it didn’t get pregnant this year, it was disdained by the young female bear, made to exercise, not allowed to eat honey, claiming it was too fat to have babies?
“Wait a second, who told it that?”
“Wu wu, that two-legged beast from your den said it, and my wife and that mother bear both heard it.”
It was the fattest of the three bears, so the inability to bear cubs was its responsibility!
The street rat felt wronged. It couldn’t explain itself, that silly two-legged beast couldn’t understand bear language, it couldn’t even testify that it truly had no issues!
Chen Ying struggled to hold back his laughter, stuffing Big Yueya into the street rat’s arms.
“Alright, I’ll check both of you later to see what’s really the situation.”
Was he smartly lit up by some weird buff, why did the young female bear and Little Jin Yan catch the same disease?
They were sick with child longing!
Freeing one hand, he wrapped it around the street rat’s neck, Chen Ying looked up at Xiao Shen.
“Hurry down and find your Elder Sister Dao.”
Finally regaining his senses, Xiao Shen slid down the tree and scrambled toward Dao Meihua.
His Elder Sister Dao was watching them from not too far away.
Watching Xiao Shen leave, Big Yueya struggled.
“Wu wu, don’t go, that’s my two-legged beast!”
It arrogantly bit the street rat’s arm, angering the street rat who roared at it, subsequently receiving a slap from Chen Ying.
It was so frustrating, did a male bear no longer have any rights? Was a male bear not worth protecting?
If this continued, it vowed to run away from home!
Terrified, he ran to Dao Meihua’s side and sat down, still panting heavily, just to see Chen Ying with a black bear cub in each hand, followed by a bawling black bear, walking away in their direction.
“Chen, how is Mr. Chen so familiar with those black bears?”
“That big one is a native here, its wife is a bear bile from the Bear Garden at the foot of the mountain, saved by Chen Ying, and they’ve stayed nearby ever since.”
“The cubs’ mother migrated here last winter and was also watched over by Mr. Chen during birth, the mother bear trusts Mr. Chen deeply.”
Dao Meihua quickly took photos for records, then patted Xiao Shen’s shoulder.
“This project will last at least another year and a half, you have plenty of time to get to know Mr. Chen’s animal friends. Come on, let’s get back to work.”
This time Xiao Shen didn’t dare to act on his own, and Dao Meihua, considering his severe fright, allowed him to follow her.
Chen Ying returned the younglings to Black Bear Sister, and indeed saw her chatting and eating Guoguo with the young female bear.
He told her he’d stop by the emergency station for a check-up in two days, not daring to linger longer, he excused himself saying he still had work to do.
The street rat sat for half a minute then followed him off.
Young female bear was gnawing on fruits while fiercely staring at the street rat.
What a letdown, such a letdown! After half a year of efforts, not a single fart had been produced!
Black Bear Sister took it with a Buddhist-like calm; she really didn’t mind if Young female bear took one of her cubs to raise.
You can’t imagine how hard it is to be a single mother.
Chen Ying sped up, and with the help of the Yellow-throated Marten, searched through a third of the area.
Seeing it was getting late, he advised Elder Sister Dao and Xiao Shen to head back early to rest.
“Mr. Chen, Elder Sister Dao found some medicinal herbs and is currently sampling and testing them. I am here helping her finish up, so you don’t have to wait for us.”
After collecting the samples, Chen Ying returned to the rescue station, just as a few young volunteers were planning to head back to the Protection Station.
“Don’t leave, let’s have dinner together. After eating, you can head back with Little Dao, it’s safer that way.”
The three young people from the Protection Station, two women and one man, giggled for a while and came over to help with dinner.
While cooking, ranger Little Xu mentioned the protection station at Hot Spring Gully.
“There was a monkey incident there a while back. While Brother Ying was away, two new rangers who weren’t informed tried to adjust the infrared cameras. To distract the monkeys, they foolishly used stones to scare them off, but ended up being attacked in return.”
It was said the consequences were rather severe.
One fell down a valley and broke his leg, and another was pelted with all sorts of junk by the monkey troop, resulting in a fractured skull. Had they not called for help in time, they might have suffered even more ruthless attacks by the monkeys.
“Now, the staff over there are pretty hesitant about patrolling, afraid of provoking the monkeys’ wrath. We can only use drones from this side of the mountain to help monitor.”
“Those monkeys over there are Tibetan Chief Monkeys and Short-tailed Monkeys, right? What kind of monkey caused the trouble, Macaques?”
“It seems to be Macaques. Even the Golden Snub-Nosed Monkeys are reluctant to go there anymore, probably because they had a fight and didn’t win.”
Little Tong, who was responsible for data, chimed in, “Brother Ying, I checked the backend data, and the reported number of monkeys there has more than doubled. Last time Uncle Yi went on patrol, he saw at least a hundred with his own eyes.”
With such a large number of monkeys, failing to control them could lead to trouble.
In the end, it’s all because in these recent months, the number of predators here has greatly decreased while in the adjacent reserve, due to the influence of the new Big Cat, some of the groups originally deep in the mountains have begun to migrate outward.
“Okay, I’ll head over and check it out after I finish up with the patrol work I’m currently handling.”
Finding a solution wouldn’t just take a day or two, and since the situation was still manageable, otherwise, the station managers would have already asked him for help.
An hour later, Elder Sister Dao and Xiao Shen returned.
Seeing the state of the two, Chen Ying was quite surprised.
“What happened to you guys?”
From their hair to their shoes, they were covered in mud; saying they rolled in a mud pit wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
“I’m sorry, it’s my fault for dragging Elder Sister Dao down.” Xiao Shen’s face turned red as he lowered his head to apologize.
“It’s not his fault. He’s not familiar with the woods, and I was a bit too anxious and didn’t watch my step, and before I knew it, we slipped down. Luckily, Xiao Shen was quick to grab onto a tree branch beside him, or we would’ve been more seriously injured.”
Actually, that was Elder Sister Dao saving face for Xiao Shen.
If it weren’t for his overly enthusiastic attempt to help, she, going alone to measure, wouldn’t have had any accidents.
Chen Ying also realized this and glanced at them, urging them to clean up and change their clothes.
“There’s a pot of beef bone soup stewing, meat and vegetables are also cooking, and Little Tong even made some noodles. You guys are in for a treat tonight.”
After Elder Sister Dao had cleaned up and came out, office clerk Little Tong hurriedly handed her a cup of hot milk tea, enhanced with the milk tofu Chen Ying had brought back, which tasted absolutely delicious.
Taking a warm gulp of milk tea and another spoonful of milk tofu, Elder Sister Dao sighed contentedly, holding her cup while sitting on the stairs watching them bustle about.
The savory aroma of the beef pot spread, and shortly, two little black bears tumbled and scampered over.
Xiao Shen took a few nervous steps up the stairs, his eyes closely watching them.
The two little brothers didn’t care about what the humans were doing; upon reaching the woodland, they just hustled upwards, looking like they were escaping for their lives.
Sure enough, shortly after, a bear roar followed.
“Big Yueya and Little Yueya have ticked off their mum again. Listening to that sound, Black Bear Sister is so mad her crown chakra might just fly off.”
People who regularly came to the rescue station to help Little Sen with the bear cubs were already very familiar with Black Bear Sister’s voice.
Sure enough, half a minute later, Black Bear Sister DuangDuang ran over, her plump body twisting as she aimed for a tree.
Little Sen, who was especially indulgent towards the bear cubs, hurried over with a bowl of fruit, carelessly drizzling some honey over it before intercepting Black Bear Sister.
“Miss Bear, Miss Bear, don’t be angry, they are your own kids. Don’t be mad, if you hurt your body, no one can replace you.”
Black Bear Sister glared with her small eyes towards Little Sen, then her gaze dropped to the bowl of fruit in his hands.
The boiling anger was significantly tempered by the sweet scent of the fruit and honey.
She snatched the fruit bowl and sat down under the tree to start eating.
In the tree, the two bear cubs watched their mother gobbling the delicious food, their saliva dripping down, almost stringy!
Chen Ying took the opportunity to snap a photo and tossed it onto his long-unupdated personal account.

Below it, a nine-grid layout even had the zoomed-in detail shots of the bear cubs’ saliva sliding down.
Suddenly, his fans who had been thirstily waiting burst into laughter.
