Chapter 184 Little Fox Hatching Eggs
A foul smell immediately filled the air, and a few grains of sand and gravel were embedded in the festering wound.
When Chen Su looked up, he found that Xu Ying had put on gloves and was approaching him with tweezers in hand. Their eyes met in the dim carriage.
Xu Ying said, "I'll clean the wound, and you prepare the antibiotics."
As Chen Su nodded, a drop of sweat slid down his chin.
They worked together like partners who had worked together for many years.
While Xu Ying was stitching the wound, Chen Su held the camel's neck and whispered soothing words.
While Chen Su was preparing the electrolyte solution, Xu Ying had already measured the body temperature of all the camels.
The two cooperated very well and checked the five camels very efficiently. Xu Ying carefully recorded the condition of each camel.
Xu Ying's serious figure was reflected in the eyes of the mountain. Its black gemstone eyes were watery and it kept staring at Xu Ying, as if it wanted to imprint the figure of this human in its mind forever.
When the last camel's wound was bandaged.
The weakest female camel suddenly touched Xu Ying's wrist with her nose, and the moist touch startled her.
"It's saying thank you."
Chen Su had quietly stood beside her without her knowing. His voice was still cold, but a little softer than usual.
Xu Ying was about to respond when he saw him suddenly raise his hand.
His slender fingertips gently brushed through her hair, bringing down a soft camel hair.
This sudden action made both of them stunned for a moment.
"There's Maomao." He explained briefly, his voice a degree lower than usual.
His fingertips unconsciously stroked the hair, as if to cover up his previous action.
Xu Ying raised her face, her clear eyes looking straight into his: "Thank you!"
A thin layer of red spread across the tips of Chen Su's ears at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a rare hint of panic flashed across his cold brows.
He looked away, his Adam's apple rolling slightly, but he forced himself to maintain his usual indifferent expression.
".Don't look at me like that."
Finally he whispered, with a hint of helplessness and weakness in his tone.
The camel hair was still held in his palm, but had already been crumpled into shape by his nervous fingertips.
At this time, a police officer's voice came from a distance: "Captain Xu, we are going to evacuate a group of people here, and we are going the same way as you. Let's go back together!"
——“Okay, here I come!”
After a day of hard work outside, Xu Ying was eager to go home.
It was too dark and cold to walk underground, and she urgently needed to suck the little fennec fox kitten to restore her strength!
Chen Su looked at Xu Ying running out of the car, feeling empty inside.
Xu Ying didn't forget that there were six first-class national protected animals here. "These six camels, come with me!"
She patted the truck driver who was squatting and smoking nearby and said, "Brother, let's go to the 032 aid station now. I'll give you a raise!"
"I'll also send you some eggs and dried fruits as specialties."
The truck driver immediately put out his cigarette when he heard this: "Okay, let's go now!"
"etc."
Xu Ying suddenly remembered that she hadn't asked the camels for their opinions yet. She turned around and looked at the camels in the car. "Would you like to go to my rescue station to recuperate?"
Shanfeng nodded immediately and was the first to express his willingness!
The other camels all bleated faintly: "Of course, if you don't mind, Stationmaster."
[We can also provide you with fresh camel milk!]
[Once we are healed, we can help you carry heavy things!]
"No, no, just take care of your injuries~" Xu Ying waved his hands quickly, feeling sour in his heart as he looked at these big guys who were desperately trying to prove their worth.
Although Bactrian camels are a national first-class protected animal, herders do not like to raise camels because their economic value is too low. Not only is their milk production low, but their transportation function has become increasingly weakened in the context of developed modern transportation.
These six big guys may have been raised by the herders before, but were abandoned because they were not profitable.
After a two-hour drive, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening when we returned to the rescue station.
After Xu Ying settled the six camels, he came to the door of the rescue station.
At this time, the area around the rescue station was quiet.
She couldn't hear the little foxes' joyful cries through the door.
Normally, this is the time when the little foxes would make their last noise before going to bed.
Xu Ying felt a little worried.
She opened the door of the shelter, holding a basket of fresh meat balls that Qi Xiao had sent to the little foxes. The scene before her froze her in her tracks.
Five furry little fennec foxes were forming a perfect circle, with a nest of eggs lying beneath them - apparently, they were eggs from the Niya black chickens that the little sand cat had picked up.
They squatted seriously, with their fluffy tails tightly covering the eggs, just like five professional incubators.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, ten pointed ears stood up at once, and the big amber eyes blinked at her, with a serious expression that said "We are busy, don't disturb us."
The clingy and chatty people who used to want to get close to Xu Ying as soon as they saw her coming home are now busy with their own "lifelong career".
The chubby fox Sibao made a "squeak" sound and used his claws to push an egg that was about to roll out of the circle towards the center.
Seeing this, the other four immediately adjusted their posture, retracted their tails tighter, and even breathed more gently, for fear of disturbing the "baby about to hatch."
[Cluck, clack, hook~]
Fox Erniu even imitated the crowing of a hen, and he was very hard at it.
The fox imitated the crowing of a hen, and the sound it made was so weird that Xu Ying almost laughed to death.
Fox Xiaowu seemed to be wondering why there was no movement after incubating the eggs for so long.
It tilted its little head and carefully touched the eggshell with its nose. The cold touch frightened it and it sneezed, causing its brothers and sisters to move aside in disgust.
Xu Ying held back her laughter and squatted down. She found that they had brought some cushions from the rescue station from somewhere and carefully placed them under the eggs.
The overhead lights of the rescue station shone down, giving the five furry "caretakers" a golden edge, and even the undried water droplets on their beards sparkled.
The moment she put down the bamboo basket of meatballs and took out her phone to take a photo, Hu Sibao sniffed with his radar-like sensitive nose, tilted his head and showed an expression of sudden enlightenment -
It finally remembered that it had been incubating eggs for half a day and had not eaten yet!
Then he let out a "woop" and took the lead to pounce on the basket of meatballs in Xu Ying's hand.
The remaining four looked at each other, then looked at the meatballs and then at the eggs. In the end, delicious food overcame their sense of responsibility, and the fur balls scattered.
Only five lonely eggs were left lying on the cushion, and Xu Ying was bent over with laughter.
Outside the window, the little sand cat was "reporting" to his master, the black serval: "Master, it seems there are fewer eggs in my basket!"
The little sand cat stared seriously at the small trailer that Stationmaster Xiao Xu had made for him to pick eggs. There seemed to be a few fewer eggs in the basket on the trailer.
But the kitten has a small head and limited brain capacity, so it can't remember how many eggs it has picked up.
