I'm sprouting again

Pup area, a separate cage area for injured pups.

The head of the garden took Bai Xiao to the innermost room, surrounded by walls, and only in front of the cage door could go in and out.And in front of the cage door, surrounded by a group of people, all of them were dressed as veterinarians, and the medical box was still at the foot, and had not been opened, obviously the treatment had not yet started.

"Cough cough."

The director stood outside the crowd and coughed lightly twice.The people around turned around and then dispersed.

Bai Xiao followed the head of the garden and walked in. When he reached the door of the cage, he saw clearly what was in the cage—a chicken.

To be precise, it was a chicken cub the size of two basketballs.

Bai Xiao: "..."

Bai Xiao didn't know much about the Dreadclaw, only that it was very rare. The adult beast looked like a dinosaur, and its combat power was quite terrifying.Therefore, Bai Xiao always thought that the cub of the Dreadclaw was also a ferocious beast with steel teeth and sharp claws.

But obviously, the facts are somewhat different from Bai Xiao's imagination.

Bai Xiao looked at the director: "Director, are you sure you arrested the right person?"

The director put his hands behind his back and smiled: "You young people, you are still too inexperienced. A caterpillar will transform into a butterfly one day, so don't underestimate it just because it can be bullied when it is young."

Bai Xiao was taken aback for a moment, speechless.After adjusting my mood, I went to look at this direclaw cub again - this huge "chicken cub" was covered with fluffy golden down, squatting facing the corner, with its head and wings retracted, looking from afar It's just a plush ball.

Bai Xiao: "..."

I still can't stand in awe, and even want to get started to squeeze it twice.

Bai Xiao withdrew his gaze, put the appearance aside, and asked the director, "Have you tried it with a blowpipe?"

Generally, slightly aggressive beasts will be anesthetized with a blowpipe before treatment to ensure the safety of the staff.

The director shook his head, with a proud and sad expression on his face: "Don't look at its fluffy hair, its fur is so hard, let alone a flying needle, even a knife may not be able to pierce it in. To give it an injection, you can only It’s okay to get close to separate the feathers. But its temper is too violent, not to mention approaching by the veterinarian, even if it opens a cage, it will jump up and scratch people.”

Bai Xiao was taken aback: "It doesn't allow people to go in?"

The director nodded: "The sense of territory is strong."

Bai Xiao had a bad feeling: "So, you mean..."

The principal patted Bai Xiao on the shoulder, with a solemn expression on his face: "Don't worry, I have someone prepare alloy fiber gloves for you, it won't let you get pecked, at most it hurts a little."

After the director finished speaking, a veterinarian came over with a pair of gloves.The gloves are very long and can cover Bai Xiao's entire arm.

Bai Xiao: "..."

Oh, you are so sweet.

The head of the garden pushed Bai Xiao to the door of the cage, put the key in his hand, and then took two steps back with the other veterinarians: "Go."

Bai Xiao: "..."

Bai Xiao sent them a death stare, and the director and colleagues returned the heroic staring salute.

"..."

Bai Xiao looked back, but there was no panic in his heart.

Because besides being able to understand non-human voices, Bai Xiao's own voice also has a certain influence on non-human beings, especially on cubs and plants.

Bai Xiao thought about it, and didn't intend to open the door, so he squatted in front of the cage door, raised his hand and knocked on the railing of the cage door.

Clang.

The chicken cub who was squatting in the corner immediately turned his head, and the same round, furry head turned around, and the small black bean-like eyes locked on Bai Xiao's figure in an instant.

Bai Xiao laughed, quite aggressively.

"Chicken..." Bai Xiao swallowed the repeated words that were about to be uttered, and temporarily changed the words, "Egg yolk, how are you?"

The director & veterinarians: "..."

God TM egg yolk.

Ji Zai blinked and looked at Bai Xiao, but didn't attack immediately.

Bai Xiao felt relieved, put his gloved hands through the railing, and made a gesture of hugging: "Come here and let me have a look."

The chicken cub tilted its head, and two seconds later, its chubby body trembled and stood up—about five centimeters above the ground, and the length of its feet was basically the same as the length of its hair.

"Chirp."

The chicken cub called softly, and the voice was also very chicken cub.

The voice was meaningless, it was just confirming Bai Xiao's good and evil.

Bai Xiao understood, so she immediately smiled, softened her voice, and coaxed: "Egg Yolk, come, come to me."

The chicken cub was stunned this time, and then it seemed to confirm something, and gave a "chirp" in surprise.

Bai Xiao: "???"

You have been arrested, what are you still surprised about?

"Choo Choo Choo!"

The chicken cub suddenly became very excited, ran towards Bai Xiao, and slammed into the cage door in the blink of an eye.The seemingly fluffy and soft body directly squeezed the iron railing and deformed it. Half of the chicken cub's body was squeezed out, and it directly hit Bai Xiao's chest.

Bai Xiao was unprepared, and was hit by the impact and fell to the ground with a dazed expression—it wasn't that he was hurt by the impact, although the chicken cub was strong, but when it hit him, it withdrew its strength, as if it had been smashed Like a pillow.

Bai Xiao was confused...he seemed to have heard something extraordinary just now?

"Choo Choo Choo!"

The chicken cub's head was pressed against Bai Xiao's chest, rubbing against Bai Xiao's chest, the sound was soft and tender.

The central idea of ​​the cry is only one: Mom, it's mom.

Bai Xiao: "..."

Well, he heard right just now.

This change frightened the director and the veterinarians.But when they saw the chicken cub's movements clearly, their exclamation and fear were temporarily suppressed.

"Little." The headmaster lowered his voice, for fear of disturbing the chicken cubs, "No, no problem?"

Bai Xiao: "..."

There is a problem, I like to be a mother.

"Xiaoxiao?" Seeing that Bai Xiao didn't speak, the director felt a little apprehensive—if something went wrong, firstly, his responsibility would not be small, and secondly, the Dreadclaw probably wouldn't be able to be sent out.

Bai Xiao recovered from the stimulation of "mother", glanced at the principal, and said, "I'm fine. Give me the needle, where should it be given?"

"It's injured under the left wing. It's best to inject the needle near the wound."

A veterinarian handed the needle over in a lunge posture, then quickly retracted his foot, standing far away—the iron railing squeezed away as soon as it said it would, it's too scary!

Bai Xiao took the injection, and then pulled off the chicken cub that was still rubbing against him.The chicken cub let go very cooperatively, twisted its buttocks, and got out of the cage entirely, and then stood in the circle formed by Bai Xiao's legs, tilting its head to look at Bai Xiao.

Bai Xiao could read trust and dependence in its eyes.

Bai Xiao: "..."

This little lack of thought really took him for a mother.

Bai Xiao felt very helpless, but thinking about it from another angle, this is also a good thing - at least he won't be scratched.

"Good egg yolk, let me see your injury."

As Bai Xiao spoke softly, he pulled up the chicken's left wing and took a look. Although he was careful, he was still involved in the chicken's wound.Chicken Cub chirped aggrievedly, but he didn't resist. He just tilted his head, put it on Bai Xiao's arm, and rubbed it coquettishly.

Bai Xiao's heart softened, so he simply hugged the chicken cub in his arms and turned it over, so that it was easier to see the wound, and it would not hurt the chick cub.The chicken cub really calmed down, his body was as soft as cotton and leaned against Bai Xiao's body, letting Bai Xiao play with him like a puppet.

Its wound was close to the root of the wing. It was long and thin. It should have been strangled. It was no longer bleeding, but the hair around it was clotted together, making it easy to get infected.

Bai Xiao didn't hesitate, and took advantage of the chicken cub's relaxation, directly pricking it with a needle.

"Chirp!"

Chicken Cub exclaimed, flapped its wings twice, turned to look at Bai Xiao, with tears in his eyes.

Bai Xiao: "..."

Cried?

The chicken cub lifted its feet to the sky and rolled in Bai Xiao's arms: "Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!"

Mom hit me, mom hit me...QAQ

Bai Xiao: "..."

The head of the garden didn't know, so he thought there was something wrong with the injection, so he quickly asked the veterinarians on the left and right: "What's the matter? Does the medicine have side effects?"

The veterinarians looked confused: "No, this medicine has been used since the establishment of the zoo, and hundreds of tubes are consumed every day, and there has never been a problem."

Seeing that the director and the veterinarians were about to quarrel, Bai Xiao quickly explained: "It's nothing, but the injection just now may hurt a little."

The director felt that it made sense, so he urged Bai Xiao: "Then, hurry up and coax me."

Bai Xiao: "???"

The director also realized that his words were wrong. He slapped his forehead and said, "The medicine has a sedative effect, and it will fall asleep after a while. It just so happens that it is so sticky to you. Hold it for a while, and I will ask someone to prepare it again." a cage."

After the director finished speaking, there was only one veterinarian left, and he took the others to prepare a new cage.

And the chicken cubs are still howling.

Bai Xiao: "...don't cry."

Chicken Cub: "Chirp! Chirp!"

Bai Xiao: "I didn't hit you, hey, it's okay, hug me!"

Bai Xiao wrapped the whole chicken in his arms, the weight was unexpectedly light, the down feathers were soft and thick, Bai Xiao tried it with his fingers, and preliminarily estimated that the chicken's feathers were at least as thick as a fist.

It feels good in the hand, just like holding a big fluffy pillow.

"Chirp."

Chicken Cub stopped crying, resting his head on Bai Xiao's shoulder and neck, half-closed his eyes happily.

For a moment, the picture was surprisingly harmonious and beautiful.

The veterinarian at the door was dumbfounded - it's a loss for not being an animal trainer!

Half an hour later, the director brought people back and said that the cage was ready.It is on the third floor of the incubation building, an unused incubation room waiting to be remodeled.The doors and windows there are specially reinforced, which should be able to prevent the ravages of the chicks.

The room was emptied, and only a nest was built with clean hay near the corner, and there were several pots near the door for food and water.

The chicken cub had already fallen asleep in Bai Xiao's arms, and now Bai Xiao gently placed it on the grass nest and retired.

"Thanks to you."

After leaving the incubation building, the principal praised Bai Xiao endlessly and asked Bai Xiao to leave work early.

Bai Xiao happily agreed. The day after tomorrow is his 20th birthday, and he plans to cook a big meal to reward himself.I got time today, just in time to prepare.

Bai Xiao happily went to the market to buy vegetables, and went home until eleven o'clock in the evening before falling asleep.As a result, at two o'clock in the morning, Bai Xiao was woken up by the phone again.

On the other end of the phone, the director's voice was exhausted, and the background sound was filled with hoarse "chirp" sounds.

The head of the garden: "The Dreadclaw has woken up, the house is about to be demolished, please come and appease it."

Bai Xiao: "..."

The principal: "I'll give you five times the overtime pay, and I'll punch you in at dawn!"

Bai Xiao: "Principal, don't worry, I'll be right there."
