[Zhongyingmei] Fox ancestor and sweetheart soldier

First day of raising cubs

Steve originally wanted to find a pet hospital to give Xiaotuanzi a good checkup, but it was already dark and the pet hospital had already closed, so he had to take Xiaotuanzi home first.Steve's speed was extremely fast, but he had already appeared downstairs in the apartment in more than ten minutes.

Waiting for the empty space of the elevator, a man who seemed to be his downstairs neighbor hurried in from outside, wrapped in a cold wind.

If Steve had always tried to strike up a conversation with a man in the past, it would be better if he could say a few more words, but tonight his mind was reserved for Xiaotuanzi in his arms, he just nodded slightly to the person beside him, and stopped moving.He also felt the chill of the people standing beside him, worried that Xiaotuanzi would be frozen. After the elevator opened, the gentleman asked the man to go in first, and then he chose the farthest place in the elevator to stand still, and his big hand stroked Xiaotuanzi's head from time to time. .

The silence in the elevator was a bit scary, and the rising number seemed too slow, and a confused and awkward atmosphere spread in the elevator for a while.Especially the man standing in the corner of the elevator, with his head slightly lowered, his body was indescribably stiff, and his hands hidden in his sleeves couldn't help but clenched quietly.From time to time, the man pretended to raise his head inadvertently, as if he was looking at the floor the elevator was on, but in reality he was quietly watching the person standing at the door through the reflection of the elevator, his eyes involuntarily fell on the lump in someone's arms.

That is?Is that a small animal?God!The man's breathing was disordered for a moment.

"Aren't you going out?"

Steve suspiciously reminded the dazed neighbor behind him.As an excellent soldier, he had long noticed that the neighbor thought he was hiding his gaze, but because there was no malice in his gaze, Steve had the right to ignore it.

Maybe he could ask this neighbor out for a drink sometime in his spare time, just to take the first step in making friends, Steve thought to himself.But in any case, today is not the right opportunity, he has to go back and check Xiaotuanzi well.

"Cough cough cough..." The man coughed violently twice, his face flushed red.

It's over, he's been discovered, isn't he already under suspicion?The man's already stiff body didn't know where to put it.

Steve raised his foot to block the elevator door that was about to close, and asked considerately, "What's wrong with you?"

"Oh, no...no..."

The man waved his hands in a panic, his movements were exaggerated and somewhat comical, and he looked like he was trying to prove that everything was normal, but he didn't expect that his appearance was a sign of having no silver 300 taels here.

Steve turned sideways to make room for the man, the man finally realized that he seemed to have delayed his return home, stiffened and rushed out of the elevator.

When passing by Steve, he apologized bluntly, with a blunt tone, those who didn't know it thought he had some trouble with Steve, and the man didn't notice his movement of getting out of the elevator with hands and feet.

Steve shook his head and sent the man out of the elevator. Does he look scary?

The elevator door finally closed, and the man's legs were limply stuck to the wall, panting heavily, his face changing like a palette, and finally he couldn't help covering his face with his hands.

He must have been thrown home just now!

It took a while for the man to recover, dragged his legs that were still weak, and walked towards the door of the house. Before opening the door, he did not forget to take out his mobile phone and quickly typed a line: "I have returned, everything is OK."

Ding dong, ding dong, several rooms on the adjacent floors in the apartment sounded a text message notification at the same time.Everyone in the room picked up their mobile phones to check the news at the same time, and they all looked relieved after reading it.

After an unknown amount of time, the same notification sounded again, and there was a sentence quietly lying on the phone:

"The captain took a pet home."

Whoa, whoa, is this real?

Is the captain ready to have a pet?

Oh unbelievable!

Thinking of the tall and mighty tough guy looking at the cute little pet with a doting face, and hugging and holding it high.

Oh, this picture is a [-]-point crit!

The few people who were about to fall asleep lost their drowsiness in an instant, their typing fingers were so fast that only afterimages were left, and the mobile phone notifications kept ringing, which was very clear in the quiet night.

As for why the images of petite and weak pets flashed in the minds of several people, didn't they say "hug"?That must be a small one.

"What pet?"

"It's wrapped too tightly so I can't see clearly."

"Didn't you claim to be the No. 1 detective in addition to the captain, but you didn't even see what pet the captain was holding in his arms?" Someone couldn't help but sneer mercilessly because the teammates were not strong enough.

The man didn't say a word, and sent the video he just captured from the surveillance camera to the group. From the moment Steve stepped into the door of the apartment to the moment he entered the room, he didn't miss a single second, and he didn't care that he was in the captain's office. The embarrassing performance in front of him was seen by his companions.

The few people were silent for a while, wishing to see the two or three minutes of the video, it was indeed a bit strict.And because of the problem of various perspectives, I really couldn't tell what kind of pet the pet with half of its head was showing, so I tacitly stopped bringing up the topic just now.

No one even ridiculed the embarrassing performance of the companions in front of the captain, and they might not have performed better than this.As long as they thought of being in close contact with the captain, everyone couldn't help their heartbeats accelerated, their breathing became short of breath, and their faces flushed.So it's abnormal not to be excited, and the agent quality they cultivated all the year round has almost disappeared in front of the captain.

"Wow, the captain's eyes are so loving when he looks at pets. My God, if I am stared at by such gentle eyes, I'm afraid I will get drunk." I don't know who started first, and the voices in the group continued again. sounded.

"Wake up, you are a man, stop dreaming, and don't use that dreamy tone. By the way, did the captain go out to save a stray pet tonight?" Someone seemed to have thought of something bad, and couldn't stop Hold it for a while, and turn on the mouthpiece mode again, puncturing some people's illusions.

"The fur is gray, and the captain's chin also has a few inconspicuous stains. It should be picked up from some alley. Although only half of the head is exposed, according to my experience, it is not a cat, it should be a stray dog. , it looks like it was born not long ago. The stray dogs may be carrying various unknown germs, and they should not have been vaccinated, which may pose a threat to the captain. Report the situation as soon as possible, and let the bureau arrange the best veterinarian to do it. The most exhaustive checks to make sure there are no problems."

Someone gave full play to their professional nature, started a rigorous analysis, and even arranged the next thing.However, he seems to have forgotten that the captain, as a super soldier, is in excellent health and is immune to most germs. It is impossible to have any so-called infection at this level, and all worries are just superfluous.

However, it is also understandable that these people want to block all possible sources of threat to the captain, and protecting the captain's personal safety is their first mission.

"agree!"

"agree!"

……

So in the middle of the night, a message and a video appeared on the phone of Phil Coulson, the supreme commander of S.H.I.E.L.D., the captain of the team protecting Captain America, and a die-hard fan of Captain America.

The specially set notification sound made Coulson wake up in the first place in his sleep, and he relaxed his tense nerves after seeing the content of the news, but after clicking on the video, Coulson couldn't help but frown together.

"The pet doctor will be in place early tomorrow morning. Agent No. 11 will evacuate as soon as possible with reasonable reasons. Afterwards, another agent will be arranged in place. The rest of you must stick to your posts and maintain the quality you deserve. The roles you play are difficult to approach and difficult to get along with." Neighbors, don't take the initiative to approach the captain, and report immediately if you find any abnormalities."

Coulson gave the order very quickly. It was fine to evacuate alone. If several people evacuated together one after another, it would be telling the captain that there was something wrong in the dark. Coulson had to explain a few more words.

"Received, promise to complete the task!"

"Received, promise to complete the task!"

……

"Got it!" This is the man in the elevator, and also Agent No. 11 in Coulson's text message.Thinking of not being able to observe the captain's daily life at close range, the burly man huddled in the small sofa, feeling aggrieved like a child, annoyed at his poor performance tonight, while replying to his superiors' instructions.It doesn't matter if you leave, you won't have to put up with your idol every day but you have to pretend to be indifferent to strangers, that's all Agent 11 can do to comfort himself.

"Take No. 511 Liberty Street as the center, call the location of all pet hospitals in Brooklyn." Coulson in pajamas gave the order, and the AI ​​that received the order immediately projected the target location in red on the big screen.

"Hall, tomorrow morning we will arrange twenty special agents who are proficient in animal medicine in the twenty places I marked." Coulson called the assistant and marked the location on the screen.

In order to better conceal their identities, most of the agents selected by S.H.I.E.L.D. have taken multiple professional courses, including many with doctorate degrees.It's just that the matter is urgent, so many special agents who have studied animal medicine can't be transferred at once, otherwise Coulson would like to arrange the entire pet hospital in Brooklyn to be staffed by S.H.I.E.L.D.

"The specific time is uncertain. The captain is very likely to take the pet to check the body in the next few days, and let [-] agents stand by at any time. Yes, be prepared for maneuver."

Coulson arranged everything, watched today's Captain America's video from beginning to end twice, put it in a layer-by-layer encrypted folder, put the phone under the pillow, and lay down on the bed again to close his eyes sleep.

Steve was unaware of the actions of the neighbors and all the emergency arrangements made by Coulson overnight. At this moment, he was coaxing his new pet, which had been cleansed, to drink hot milk.

The warm milk gradually cooled down, but Xiaotuanzi didn't even look at it, showing no interest in the fragrant milk.Looking at the stubborn little guy who was trying to hold his head up, Steve's brows gradually tightened.

The first thing Steve did when he entered the door was to check Xiaotuanzi's body, and gently opened the fur, not letting go of an inch.Except for four or five places where the fur was a little blackened and the exposed skin was red, Steve was a little relieved to be sure that there were no other suspicious injuries.

But the doubts in my heart are even more serious. How did these scorched black marks leave behind? Could it be that Xiaotuanzi accidentally touched the fire source?

Or did someone abuse Xiaotuanzi with this, and Xiaotuanzi managed to escape after being tortured?

Thinking of the latter possibility, Steve's expression became serious, and he must find a professional veterinarian tomorrow to find out the reason.

After inspecting the dumpling, Steve's palms turned black like a coal miner's.Steve wondered whether to laugh or cry, could it be that the little dumpling had rolled in the coal pile?Otherwise, where would this happen?

It seems that it is impossible not to take a bath. Steve filled the washbasin with warm hot water, and washed the small dumpling thoroughly three times, until the gray and black color could no longer be seen in the water, and then wrapped it in a towel. The wet little dumpling sat on the sofa and helped it dry its hair.During the whole process, Xiaotuanzi kept his eyes closed and didn't move. If it wasn't for his steady breathing and body ups and downs, Steve would almost have a bad idea.

It’s okay to fall asleep, and save a lot of work. Steve has never raised pets, but he also knows that few pets like to take a bath.In particular, Mao Tuanzi dislikes the feeling of being wet and his fur sticking together the most. If Xiao Tuanzi is awake, the bathroom may have become a battlefield by now. Even if he is a veteran warrior, Steve does not have the confidence Try to get the small group.

Using a towel to absorb the water from the hair, Steve picked up the hair dryer and adjusted it to a suitable gear, and began to dry the little ball, so as not to let it get cold again.

Soon, the hair returned to fluffy and soft. Steve looked at Xiaotuanzi who had returned to its original color. Even though the scorched part was more obvious due to the lack of hair, it did not affect Xiaotuanzi's beauty in the slightest.The smooth and lustrous white hair glistened under the light, like fine silk.

it's beautiful!

Steve expressed his sincere admiration.

But the tail always felt weird, as if it was broken off, but there was no obvious scar. Steve thought that if Xiaotuanzi's tail was longer, it would be more beautiful.

It seems that he accidentally picked up a pet with excellent appearance, which must be a rare breed of dog.No wonder it was washed three times before it was cleaned. How much dirt must be stained with this color to turn it into that dusty look. Steve shook his head funny, and covered Xiaotuan with a new clean towel, Just walked into the bathroom and took a combat shower.

When Steve came out wiping his dripping blond hair, Xiaotuanzi was still sleeping on the sofa as before.Thinking of Xiaotuanzi's empty stomach when he took a bath just now, Steve opened the refrigerator and took out a carton of milk.Heat a small pot to a suitable temperature, pour it into a shallow disc, put the disc on the table, and pick up the small balls on the sofa.

It took Steve a lot of effort to wake Xiaotuanzi up, if he didn't wake up again, I'm afraid Steve would grab his wallet and rush out of the apartment.

After waking up, Xiaotuanzi first looked around for an unfamiliar but warm place.The big benefactor was looking at it with gentle eyes, and Xiaotuanzi, who had regained a little strength, generously forgave someone who disturbed his sleep with the idea of ​​hugging his big thick legs, and rubbed his little head against someone .

"Drink some milk before going to sleep." In the middle of the night, Steve's voice was even more low and gentle.

"Grumbling..."

Xiaotuanzi, who didn't understand the language, expressed that he didn't understand, but when he was put in front of the milk by the big benefactor, he immediately understood what the big benefactor meant.

"Aww!" (Take it away, take it away quickly, this damn milk smell, this deity will be smoked to death, this deity does not need mortal junk food.)

There are many gaps in Xiaotuanzi's memory, but some things engraved in his bones have become instincts.It resisted and didn't want to face the scented milk, its limbs shrunk back desperately, if it wasn't for Steve holding it with both hands, it probably would have jumped to the farthest place immediately.

Xiaotuanzi's voice is a bit like a semi-bass, with a crisp taste.

Why does my pup bark "owwow" instead of "woofwow"?

Steve's doubts flashed past, but Xiaotuanzi's reluctance to eat was even more worrying.Steve put aside his doubts for the time being, and prepared to concentrate on coaxing Xiaotuanzi to drink milk. Those who refuse to eat obediently must be educated.

But things backfired. Steve, who has never encountered any unsolvable problems since he became a super soldier, was finally defeated in the face of the desperately resisting Xiaotuanzi.It's just that besides milk, what else is suitable for Xiaotuanzi to eat?

In Steve's eyes, the small dumpling is at most a month or two older than the size of his palm, and he is worried that other foods will cause the small dumpling to have indigestion.But the best choice, the milk dumpling, didn't like it. Remembering that there was still a sandwich in the refrigerator that he bought in the morning, Steve sighed and got up to take out the sandwich, and heated it in the microwave clumsily.

The sandwiches that were cut into small pieces lay quietly on the plate exuding a unique aroma, but Xiaotuanzi still didn't buy it.Although not as resistant as before, Xiaotuanzi just didn't speak, even if Steve personally picked up a piece and brought it to his mouth. Looking at the drowsy Xiaotuanzi, Steve sighed again.

There are more sighs tonight than in previous decades.

Sure enough, keeping pets is as difficult as raising children. Steve, who is inexperienced, experienced the powerlessness of being helpless for the first time.

Forget it, if you don’t want to eat, you may not be hungry. If you don’t want to eat, just don’t eat.

In line with the principle of not wasting food, the cold milk and sandwiches poured into Steve's stomach in twos and twos.

The little ball that had been relocated on the couch was in a ball, head and tail joined together.Seeing Xiaotuanzi sleeping soundly, Steve took out his mobile phone, opened the webpage awkwardly, and took a long time to enter in the query box:

"How to feed a puppy of one or two months?"

The page jumps, and there are more than a dozen answers popping up on the first page. Steve browses slowly one by one, selects the record with the most detailed explanation, and clicks in.

Wait to see "Milk is a high-fat and low-protein food, which is not good for the growth and development of dogs. Most young dogs are lactose intolerant. Drinking milk will cause severe diarrhea, even for adult dogs. You can only feed it in small amounts, and avoid overdosing. If young dogs want to strengthen their nutrition, it is recommended to feed them goat milk powder."

Steve, who almost made a big mistake again, broke out in a cold sweat. It turns out that there are so many things to pay attention to and precautions in keeping pets. Most of the pets 70 years ago were what people ate, and they ate what they ate. After 70 years, they became so particular?

But be careful, there is no big mistake, now that there is such a fine feeding method, Steve feels that he needs to learn it as soon as possible, and can't let Xiaotuanzi suffer with him, right?

If it wasn't for Xiaotuanzi's clever refusal to drink milk, he would have suffered a great crime for his negligence tonight.Fortunately, at the same time as Steve rejoiced, the feeling of powerlessness just now was swept away. It turned out that he picked up Xiaotuanzi so cleverly.

Reaching out his hand to touch the little dumpling lying on the side, Steve was in a good mood.Open the notepad, copy down the feeding methods and precautions found on the Internet verbatim, and by the way, list all the things that Xiaotuanzi needs but does not have at home in the portable notepad, and prepare to purchase them all together tomorrow.

Steve then googled things like "what do puppies like?"

"Which things puppies can't eat?"

"What if the puppy doesn't drink milk?"

One answer said, "It may be because the puppy is too young to learn to roll its tongue to drink, so it can be bottle-fed."

Steve added another item to the shopping list: feeding bottles.

Steve, who suddenly turned into a "baby dad", was full of interest in studying, and realized the benefits of the Internet for the first time. It turned out that he could find answers to all questions online, which is really convenient!

Until the sky showed fish belly, Steve, whose biological clock was always punctual, watched the time jump to five o'clock, moved his stiff body a little, and felt a sense of accomplishment when he watched the impromptu copying of more than [-] pages of notes.

Steve, who hadn't slept all night, didn't feel sleepy at all, and was still full of energy, and Xiaotuanzi still fell asleep with one movement.

Steve stretched out his hand and patted the fur, which felt very good to the touch, and thought of what was said on the Internet that in order to enhance the relationship with the pet, you can choose a nice and easy-to-remember name. After calling it a lot, the pet will know that it is its name.

Steve thought about it for a while, and took a peek at it when he was taking a shower at night. Xiaotuanzi is a boy, why not call him...

"Angus, from now on you will be called Angus, which means unique."

In a good mood, Steve unilaterally named a certain dumpling.

"Angus, I'm going for a morning run, and I'll take you to the hospital for an examination when I get back."

Even though he knew that Angus couldn't hear or understand, Steve still confessed that it feels good to be no longer alone.

Steve checked whether all the windows were closed, and then changed into sportswear and went out quietly.Before closing the door, he glanced at a certain dumpling through the crack of the door to confirm that it was still asleep, but what he was thinking in his heart was:

The speed of jogging this morning should be faster, Angus has just arrived, it is best to get home before he wakes up, lest he is the only one in the house who is afraid.
