The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 156 155. Catching the White Deer from the Pond

A deer was soaking in a hot spring. Lin Feng couldn't imagine what it looked like.

For safety reasons, I still brought a pistol and called Wayne and the four brothers.

The dogs were very alert, especially the German Shepherd brothers. The two kept sniffing on the ground, seemingly looking for something.

Lin Feng asked Catherine to take him to the hot spring, while David went to adjust the surveillance.

The hot spring was very close to the wooden house. The two of them walked around to the back and saw a white shadow on the other side of the hot spring in the distance.

"Look, it's still there," Catherine said, pointing to the hot springs.

Lin Feng nodded, indicating to Catherine to stay quiet, and then slowly approached her so as not to scare her away.

As the distance got closer, the deer gradually became clearer.

It is all white, with a few leaves hanging on its head. It is enjoying the hot spring bath with its eyes closed at the moment, shaking its head from time to time.

"This is an albino deer." Lin Feng said softly. As for the specific species, we need to get closer.

Albino deer are very rare.

They are all white and are obviously different from ordinary deer.

"So beautiful." Catherine couldn't help but admire.

Lin Feng nodded, "It's indeed beautiful, but it shouldn't appear here."

White deer are often hunted or captured by humans because of their rarity and uniqueness.

It was strange why this deer was in the pasture.

What's even more strange is that the hot spring water flowing out is a little reddish.

Lin Feng speculated that the deer was injured and might be dying now.

"What should we do?" Catherine asked.

Lin Feng thought for a while, "Don't disturb it yet. Let's go back and see if David has found any clues."

The two returned to the wooden villa, and David had already called up the surveillance video.

I soon discovered that the white deer first appeared in the surveillance camera in the evening, but I could only capture signs of its activity near Jingjing Lake, and I still haven’t found out how it got in.

At that point the deer was staggering a bit, as if it had been shot.

The computer is automatically screening for abnormalities in the surveillance video outside the ranch today, and will display a red warning whenever a living animal appears.

This method is time-consuming because hares appearing near the fence will interfere with the equipment. Most red alerts are caused by hares or other small rodents.

David stared at the screen seriously, and suddenly his eyes lit up!

"BOSS, this belongs to that deer!"

He spotted the albino deer in the surveillance footage at 6:23 p.m., which showed that the fence was not damaged and that it had indeed jumped in.

But something seemed to be chasing behind him. Lin Feng repeatedly played the game back and saw clearly how many wolves they were.

Now it seems that the truth is coming out. The deer was chased by the wolf until it was cornered, and finally jumped in with all its strength.

It could be seen that the jump used all its strength. After it was safe, it lay on the ground for several minutes before slowly standing up again.

No matter what kind of animal encounters danger, it will burst out with much higher energy than usual. This should be a biological instinct.

After being cornered and jumping into his own territory, Lin Feng couldn't help but die.

They returned to the hot spring pool and prepared to check the deer's wounds.

Before the three people could get closer, the water surface of the hot spring suddenly fluctuated, and Bai Lu seemed to want to stand up.

"It's going to run away!" Catherine said nervously.

"Don't worry, you won't be able to run far." Lin Feng motioned for everyone to stop first.

Sure enough, as soon as the white deer jumped out of the pool, it staggered and fell down again. It struggled to stand up, but was clearly unable to do so.

"What are you waiting for? Fish it out quickly to avoid drowning."

Lin Feng quickly led people to start work.

If not treated in time, this rare white deer is likely to die.

"We have to find a way to save it quickly." Catherine said eagerly. She couldn't bear to watch such a beautiful creature disappear before her eyes. That’s what women are like, no matter their age.

Lin Feng was very calm and motioned for everyone to split up.

He asked Catherine to prepare a first aid kit, while he and Uncle David slowly approached the hot spring, trying to see the white deer's injuries without disturbing it.

As the distance got closer, Lin Feng discovered that there was an obvious gunshot wound on the white deer's hind leg, and the wound was still bleeding.

Before the wolf appeared, it should have been hunted by hunters.

"We need to stop the bleeding first."

Lin Feng said, taking out a piece of clean gauze from his pocket and gently pressing it on the wound.

The white deer seemed to feel the kindness of humans and did not resist.

Catherine also squatted down to help. She carefully held the white deer's head to keep it breathing smoothly.

Under her comfort, Bai Lu gradually relaxed his body and became less nervous.

The problem is more serious than imagined. There are bite marks on the back, which should be caused by wolves.

Soon they discovered another problem, the deer’s belly was beating!

Lin Feng's pupils shrank instantly, and they realized a shocking fact.

This white deer is actually pregnant!

"Here I go, no wonder it can jump so high. It turns out to be the power of maternal love."

Now it is not only to save this rare wild animal, but also to preserve the new life in its belly.

"We have to hurry up, it seems we can't hold on much longer." Lin Feng was a little nervous.

Catherine's hand stroked the white deer's neck more gently, trying to continue to convey kindness.

David had prepared a stretcher and blanket nearby, ready to carry the white deer away at any time.

Lin Feng immediately started looking at other wounds and found that in addition to the gunshot wounds on the hind legs and the bite marks on the back, there were also some minor abrasions, but the most important thing right now was to deal with the gunshot wounds and stop the bleeding.

He took out disinfectant and bandages from the first aid kit and began to clean and bandage the wounds of the white deer.

It was eerily quiet throughout the process, as if it knew humans were saving lives.

After treating the wound, Lin Feng and David carefully lifted the white deer onto the stretcher, and then wrapped it tightly in a blanket to keep it warm.

Catherine was watching Bai Lu's condition and was ready to help at any time.

"BOSS, how about taking it into the grocery room. There is a pile of hay in it. It won't be too cold. If it is left outdoors, it will probably not survive tonight." David asked.

Lin Feng thought for a while, "No, move into the wooden villa. The small room next to the kitchen on the first floor has an electric heater in it."

He was talking about a small room on the north side of the wooden villa, next to the kitchen, which was usually used to store sundries.

David was surprised, "Moving in? Are you sure?"

Lin Feng nodded, "It needs a warmer place, the grocery room is still too cold."

Now that the boss has spoken, David just obeys.

In his eyes, BOSS is "eager to protect the deer", but in fact Lin Feng has other plans.

Mom was surprised to see two men carrying a white deer into the house.

There is no time to explain, so let’s settle down first.

Lin Feng ran upstairs to get a quilt and spread it on the floor, then he and David slowly moved the doe up.

It looked very weak, and its eyes trembled occasionally, but the baby in its belly was very lively, and the outline of its head could even be seen clearly from its belly.

"Call Dr. Edmund tomorrow morning, it's too late now."

"Hopefully it will last until tomorrow morning." David made a sign of the cross in the air.

"Are you a believer?" Lin Feng asked.

I've never heard my uncle mention this before.

David smiled and said, "No, it's just out of emotion. God is definitely not willing to accept cowboys like us who hunt all day long. After all, animals are also his children."
