NOVEL NEXT Chapter 531: Jinya: Why Can't I Go Abroad Just Because She Doesn't Have a Household Register?
This chicken is no ordinary chicken; it's the star product from the neighboring village, a breed naturally crossbred between domestic poultry and wild pheasants, so the meat is certainly different from regular poultry.
The little fox gobbled down a piece, still craving more, demanding to eat again.
Chen Ying rubbed its belly and sliced off another third portion of chicken breast.
"Alright, eat this much first, you can't eat too full in one go. Rest well after eating, and I'll give you a thorough check-up. Once you're healed in the next day or two, there'll be no dietary restrictions anymore."
By then, it should leave with the protection staff; no matter how much it eats, it won't concern him. After all, the landlord has no surplus food!
Having tended to the little fox, Chen Ying turned on the computer and dialed the video call to the Jiamu Gully First Aid Station.
The weekly video call is a must, his family's Jinya is quite strict with check-ins.
The screen popped up, showing a furry face filling the entire screen.
"Jinya, what are you doing?" Chen Ying's brow twitched, halting Jinya's attempt to lick the screen.
"Ooh ooh, showing you my little cub."
Jinya stepped back a pace, picking a newborn cub from the nearby cat bed and placing it on the table.
This was a few-days-old leopard cat cub, its eyes still unopened, meowing weakly with a sound that melted hearts.
Nearby, Mengmeng cuddled her child, her face slightly rounder than before, grinning widely.
The child in her arms was over two years old, embodying the best of both parents, adorably chubby and cute.
"Uncle Ying, I found the kitten." Though young, the little one spoke clearly, perhaps because his mom stayed at Jiamu Gully First Aid Station while pregnant, letting him absorb its unique spirit, his affinity with animals is off the charts.
Have you seen a Black Bear cuddle a human cub to sleep? That cub was him.
Have you seen a Flower Leopard carrying a human cub for forest patrols? That cub was him.
Have you seen a panda raising a human cub like its child? Needless to say, that was him.
The little guy wasn't just the first aid station's joy but also the Jiamu Gully Mountain's cherished human cub among the animals. If his parents weren't sensible enough, he might have become the Jiamu Gully little tyrant.
Jinya stood proudly aside protecting the Little Fatty, his expression full of pride.
Little Sen's family's Little Fatty roamed the mountain forests, under the wing of It and Leopard Sister.
Of course, Er Niu also watched over him, but Er Niu stayed long term on the snow mountains and only came down occasionally, so Little Fatty was closest with Leopard Sister and Jinya.
Jinya was about to chat with so-called Two-legged beast but suddenly locked eyes on the white furry bundle in Chen Ying's arms.
"Ooh? You... you unfaithful stinky two-legged beast!" Jinya ran off angrily, going to fetch Leopard Sister.
"Hey, it's not what you think!" Chen Ying reached out to the screen, but Jinya had already run far off.
An intrigued face popped over, Chen Ying sighed helplessly.
"Help me say nice things to Jinya, will you?"
Dao Meihua pursed her lips, looking at him disdainfully.
"Jinya isn't wrong, you unfaithful guy, look at how many animals you have now."
"I don't raise them." Chen Ying placed the Arctic fox in the nearby dog bed and then locked the dog cage.
"This just rescued Arctic fox was almost eaten by wolf weasels, saved by passing travelers."
As they were chatting, Jinya's cries could be heard nearing.
"Ooh, Leopard Sister hurry up, that white-haired creature is ugly."
Leopard Sister yawned lazily and followed Jinya to the computer, casually greeting the Two-legged beast before lying beside Little Fatty.
Little Sen's family's Little Fatty shouted and jumped onto Leopard Sister, hugging its neck and repeatedly calling "Auntie," Leopard Sister gently hugged Little Fatty with a left forepaw, allowing him to slobber all over.
Jinya noticed the white-haired dog was caged, finally hushing with a whimper.
After greeting the household cats, Leopard Sister mentioned Er Niu, who traveled with its Little Cub across Jiamu Gully Snow Mountain and two nearby protected area snow mountains, currently heading towards the snow mountain group.
The snow mountain group stretches along the eastern edge of the highland, heading north, leading to Tibet.
Regular Snow Leopards might struggle to return so far to the highland, but Little Cub might manage. Given its current physique and prowess, ruling the snow mountains is a matter of time.
But Little Cub differs from its biological father's personality; integrating Er Niu's gentle nature, it primarily aims to protect its mother and aunts, along with the life on Jiamu Gully's land.
Of course, Little Cub isn't saintly, it adheres to the jungle laws, but will intervene against survival rule violations.
Respecting and preserving nature is what they, as natural beings, should do.
After discussing Jiamu Gully affairs, Leopard Sister finally circled back to the Arctic fox issue.
"Two-legged beast, do you remember that stinky fox you rescued before? Planning to bring back this white-haired fellow to breed cubs together?"
"Absolutely not, they aren't of the same species. This white-haired fox is an Arctic fox, dwelling in cold places, it might not survive in our Jiamu Gully. Moreover, it's a tundra animal, struggling in our woods just like taking you to live by the sea, only eating fish and shrimp; imagine how unbearable that would be."
