NOVEL NEXT Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Little Unlucky Egg
```html
After feeding the little leopard, Chen Ying tidied up and sat down in the yard to chat with Group Leader Li.
"Does Group Leader Li have any plans?"
"No, I just wanted to discuss some matters regarding the medication for the giant panda's later treatment."
Group Leader Li waved with a smile, "I heard you want to try traditional medicine on it?"
"That's the plan. I've already sent the prescription to my teacher, Professor Bai, for review, but deciding on medication isn't something I can do alone. If we really want to treat Mendun'er with traditional medicine or some techniques of Chinese medicine, we definitely need my teacher to personally oversee and guide."
This was what he worked on last night after returning to the dorm.
Little Sen and the others told him about the female doctor's disdain for traditional veterinary medicine. Chen Ying didn't show anger on the surface, but *he felt very uncomfortable inside.*
*Arguing face to face, especially with a female colleague, was something he couldn't do.*
*Moreover, when it comes to treatment outcomes, it's not about who has the louder voice; it depends on the actual progress afterward.*
Using traditional Chinese medicine techniques for the subsequent treatment of Mendun'er was a conclusion he reached from the Level 100 medical skills given by the system, so there was definitely no mistake.
Group Leader Li didn't question him, only asked some questions from various angles, and finally didn't say much. After encouraging Chen Ying a bit, he left.
As soon as he entered the Panda House area, Little Sen ran over to ask Chen Ying what Group Leader Li said.
"Not much, just some questions about traditional veterinary medicine. You'd better stay over there and learn a bit more. The expert group isn't so easy to learn from unofficially."
As for the doubts from the medical group, Chen Ying truly didn't care.
There were a lot of people here today, and Leopard Sister wasn't interested in taking a stroll either. After taking care of the family of three, he planned to go up the mountain to have a look.
Jinya hadn't been seen coming this way these past two days, perhaps she went to find her brother.
Today, Chen Ying planned to walk to the place where Jinya was rescued.
That area should belong to Jinya's territory, where many small mammals and birds also lived.
Jinya loved eating rabbits, and it was unlikely wild rabbits could overrun the place, but they couldn't let her destroy everything, causing food shortages for other animals that fed on rabbits.
To cross over to the slope where Jinya was rescued from here, one needed to cross a small stream, about five or six meters wide, and use a zipline.
Many people hadn't seen these old-style mountain forest ziplines. With nothing much to do today, Chen Ying decided to add some content to the official account.
Shooting the zipline would do the trick.
The entire length of the zipline was about twenty meters. After reinforcement, it could bear a maximum weight of two hundred kilograms.
Actually, many mountainous areas no longer relied on ziplines to travel between mountain rivers. The zipline here was preserved mainly to facilitate the ranger's access to the rescue station.
He hung the phone around his neck, turned on recording mode, and also started the drone for filming.
After getting ready, Chen Ying put on simple gear and hooked himself to the iron cable with a safety buckle.
With a nudge of his foot, relying on the incline of the iron cable, he zipped over to the other side with a swoosh.
The termination point on the other side was a small lawn, with two specifically planted trees for stopping one's foot.
Stopping with one's foot also required skill; a misstep could easily break a bone.
Chen Ying was almost a local and was very familiar with using the zipline.
In less than two minutes, he had reached the other side.
After tidying up the gear and stuffing it into the backpack, he took out a hiking pole and continued walking into the forest.
The hiking pole in his hand was more for probing the way and scaring off snakes.
After all, nobody knew if below the dense grass a step might be met by four little eyes.
To be safe, he wore high-topped hiking boots.
He hadn't gone far when he saw a group of rock sheep playing chase on the mountain opposite.
The terrain of this mountainous area was diverse, and the vegetation on the mountains opposite wasn't as lush as here, belonging to the high mountain meadow area, while this side was only separated from the opposite by a large mountain valley, yet it was dense with jungle.
After controlling the drone to film the group of rock sheep for a while, Chen Ying continued deeper into the dense forest.
Under a pine tree, a little squirrel with reddish-brown fur was anxiously running in circles.
Hearing the approach of someone, the little squirrel immediately climbed up the tree and timidly hid on the branch, peeping down.
Chen Ying wanted to avoid it, but suddenly heard a faint cry.
He quickly ran two steps to the tree and, before he could observe the surroundings, got hit on the head by a pine cone thrown by the little squirrel.
"Chirp chirp, don't come over, bad guy, go away!"
The little squirrel, with a bit of a crying tone, was hesitantly stretching and shrinking on the tree, both intimidated and anxious.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. I heard what seemed like an injured little squirrel. Is it here?"
He didn't dare to move too fast, only approaching the pine tree bit by bit.
Sure enough, the closer he got, the clearer the sound became.
Using the hiking pole to clear the leaves and branches, a little squirrel whose leg was trapped was revealed.
It was a squirrel baby, about the size of a banana with the tail included.
Seeing its child found, the little squirrel gathered its courage and jumped down, trying to bite this two-legged beast to death.
Chen Ying quickly grabbed the scruff of the red squirrel's neck just as it jumped.
"Stop messing around. Let's rescue your little cub first."
He couldn't figure out how the little cub had gotten trapped under the tree trunk.
If he couldn't figure it out, he just wouldn't think about it; rescuing the squirrel was urgent.
Possibly through the contact of their skins, the red squirrel suddenly got Chen Ying's friendliness. After being put down, it didn't attack again; instead, it sat obediently nearby, waiting for the baby to be rescued.
After moving the relatively heavy tree trunk, he revealed the squirrel baby trapped underneath.
The little one was terrified, trembling in Chen Ying's palm.
He carefully checked the baby's body. Luckily, except for scrapes and compression injuries, there were no fractures.
Seeing how the squirrel baby wasn't daring to move, it was possible there was a hairline fracture injury.
Chen Ying put down his backpack, took out a medical kit, disinfected the little squirrel's wounds, applied his self-made bone injury ointment, and wrapped it with a small bandage for two rounds.
The little one was in its growth phase. As long as there were no severe fractures, such hairline fractures would heal quickly.
With his special ointment, recovery wouldn't even take a week for the little squirrel baby.
This ointment had been personally verified for its efficacy by Meng Yan.
After dealing with the squirrel baby's injuries and returning it to the mother, Chen Ying took out the prepared small bag of nuts and poured them into his palm, letting the squirrel mother have a taste.
The Red Squirrel Mother grabbed her child and hopped up the tree in a couple of leaps. After a brief moment, she came down again, filled her cheeks with nuts from Chen Ying's hand, turned back up the tree, and didn't come down again for quite a while.
This episode disrupted Chen Ying's plan a bit. He packed up his things and left the remaining nuts at the spot he was just sitting, then quietly left.
Not long after he left, the squirrel mother came down again. She wandered around, found that the two-legged beast was gone, and the spot where he had been sitting still had delicious things; she quickly picked up the nuts and stuffed them into her mouth, stood up to look around for a moment, and then went back up the tree.
After leaving the squirrel mother and her unfortunate little baby, Chen Ying discovered traces of a beast nearby.
To pursue or not, he hesitated slightly.
