Chapter 99 Delivery
The musk deer returned to the reserve as if they were returning to their own territory.
Although we don’t know the musk deer’s territory, we can tell from the surrounding environment that the musk deer definitely do not live nearby.
While walking in front, Zhang Zi did not forget to look back to see if Lin Ting and Lin Jing were following him.
There are many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the dense jungle. There are also many places that have not been exposed to the sun for many years, resulting in a faint smell of decay in the air. It should be caused by some animals dying in the forest and slowly rotting.
The road under my feet was covered with weeds, some deep and some shallow.
Although Lin Ting can hear the voices of small animals, he can only hear them when the animals are awake and have complex psychological activities. There are also many little guys sleeping, especially snakes. If they are not paying attention and they are coiled there to sleep, the first reaction may be to bite them if they kick them.
In order to avoid stepping on small animals and being suddenly attacked by them, Lin Ting picked up a thick branch and held it in his hand, knocking it in front of him as a pathfinder.
If there are small animals hiding in the haystack, the wooden stick can remind them to hide away in time and avoid being stepped on by them.
There were no large animals seen outside the reserve, only some birds. They were startled as they entered, and some brave ones would fly after them out of curiosity.
'Just ahead.'
Zhanzi stopped at the pile of rocks in front and waited for Lin Ting and Lin Jing. After the two caught up, Zhanzi led his men to continue forward.
After traveling through mountains, forests, and mudflats, the two men and a musk deer arrived at the entrance of a low cave.
"We're here, my sister is inside."
Musk deer are social animals. When they followed this musk deer, they also saw several musk deer nearby. Even if they did not live together, their living places were very close to each other, so they could work together to resist foreign enemies.
Compared to the nearby areas with wide views, water sources and forests, musk deer will choose their territory.
There were many wild fruits, reeds and unripe corn stolen from nearby fields at the entrance of the cave, probably to supplement the nutrition of the musk deer.
Probably in order to facilitate production and avoid sudden attacks from external enemies, the musk deer made the entrance of the cave very small.
The male musk deer that brought them back had already crawled in through the narrow hole.
"Sister, how are you? Are you feeling better?"
'The deer brought humans to help you?'
'roll'
A roar came from the cave entrance.
There was also a hint of blood in the air.
The musk deer was roared out of the cave, but its head was still left in the cave entrance.
'They are good people and will not hurt my sister.'
"The deer was kidnapped by bad guys, but they rescued me."
The musk deer blinked twice cautiously, and before the expected roar came, it slowly retreated from the cave and turned to look at Lin Ting.
"Humans, please go in. My sister has agreed."
The deer also knew that the narrow entrance of the cave was not convenient for her to enter, so she used her head to push a few times, and a few stones blocking the entrance suddenly rolled to the side, and the originally narrow entrance instantly became larger.
"Brother, wait for me outside." Lin Ting took the backpack from Lin Jing and crawled in through the narrow hole.
Although the entrance of the cave was forcibly enlarged by the musk deer, it could only accommodate one person.
The light inside the cave was limited, making it dark and gloomy. Lin Ting was not sure where the female musk deer was, and was afraid of stepping on her. Lin Ting stood at the entrance of the cave and did not move forward. He took out a flashlight from his bag and turned it on, only then did he determine the location of the musk deer.
The entrance of the musk deer cave is small, but I didn't expect that there is a different world inside. The space is very large and there are not too many rocks. It can easily accommodate more than a dozen musk deer at the same time.
The female musk deer was lying weakly on the ground, with weeds picked up from somewhere underneath her. There were also a few ears of corn next to her head, which should have been specially found to help the female musk deer supplement nutrition and facilitate childbirth.
There was still some blood on the female musk deer's body, and her bulging belly was rising and falling.
Female animals giving birth or raising cubs are extremely alert. Lin Ting was afraid of disturbing the female musk deer in labor, so he didn't approach immediately. Instead, he squatted down not far from the female musk deer and tentatively stretched out his hand, trying to communicate with her. "Don't be afraid, I'm a veterinarian. I can help you see what's going on."
"Don't get excited and don't kick me. If you get excited and move around, you might hurt the cub in your belly." Lin heard that the deer didn't react much to him, so he slowly moved forward.
A sweet fragrance entered the female musk deer's nostrils, calming her restless mood.
'No kick.'
'The deer trusts you.'
Seeing that Zhang Zi was willing to trust him, Lin Ting dared to step forward without hesitation and help Zhang Zi check his body.
Although she had never delivered an animal on her own, she had helped a cat give birth in class when she took the veterinary medicine elective, and she had also watched many videos of wild animal births.
She also has some props available in the small system mall.
She touched the musk deer's belly with her fingers to help the musk deer check the condition of its cubs.
"The fetal position is a little abnormal, so the delivery is difficult, but don't worry, I can help you correct the fetal position.
Lin Ting opened his backpack and took out gloves and some fruits he had bought on the way.
She broke the apple open and placed it next to the deer's mouth. "Eat something first to replenish your energy. I'll help you adjust the fetal position later."
The deer half raised its head and chewed the apple that Lin Ting had given it.
"It may be a little uncomfortable, you need to be patient." Lin Ting used his finger techniques to help the deer adjust to the fetal position.
After half an hour of tireless efforts, she finally helped the musk deer to correct its fetal position.
She also bought some pills to replenish her energy by buying points on credit from the system mall. She mixed the pills into the apples she fed to the musk deer and ate them.
The medicines in the system mall are indeed much more effective than their ordinary medicines.
But after a while, the musk deer recovered some of its strength.
"Take a deep breath, then push slowly." Lin Ting guided the musk deer to give birth.
When animals are able to give birth naturally on their own, she doesn't intervene too much.
Following Lin Ting's guidance, the deer slowly exerted force, its swollen belly rising and falling, and slowly the cub's head emerged, as if seeing the dawn. "Keep pushing, cub will be out soon."
With Lin Ting's help, the cub was born smoothly, and the female musk deer fell to the side completely exhausted.
'tired. '
'It hurts.'
'Never give birth again.'
You see, when animals give birth, it’s just like when humans give birth. They don’t want to have a second time.
Lin Ting had just finished complaining in his mind when he noticed that something was wrong with Zizi.
