Solstice Secrets

When Ling Dongzhi hurried to the pet hospital with the three kittens, it was already past the off-duty time, the lights in the hospital were all off, and a man in a long trench coat was locking the gate with his back to the street.

Ling Dongzhi quickly lowered the car window and shouted, "Doctor, wait a moment."

The man in the long windbreaker turned around and asked lazily, "What's wrong?"

"The cat was bitten by a dog." Ling Dongzhi said while carefully picking up Xiao Hui from the seat, "It's serious, half of his body is swollen."

Xiao Maoer and his servant also got out of the car, and followed Ling Dongzhi up the steps step by step.

The man in the long windbreaker turned sideways, and looked at the cat in Ling Dongzhi's hand by the light of the street lamp, "It's been a while, it was bitten yesterday, right?"

Ling Dongzhi didn't know how to answer.He can't say that the cat told him that it was indeed bitten yesterday, nor can he say that he saw it was bitten with his own eyes yesterday, and then remembered to send it to the hospital today.

"Come in first, let me check." The man in the long windbreaker took out the key from his pocket to open the door, and shouted behind him before entering the room, "Wait for me for a while."

Ling Dongzhi looked in the direction he indicated, the lights were dim, and he couldn't see who he was talking to, only a few cars parked on the side of the road.

After turning on the light, the man took off his overcoat and put on a white coat. Ling Dongzhi saw the sign on his chest saying: Attending Physician and Qing.This person looked a little older than himself, wearing a pair of thin-rimmed glasses, with gentle eyebrows.It wasn't the old doctor that Ling Dongzhi had met before.

He Qing motioned him to put Xiao Hui on the examination table, and asked him while washing his hands, "Are you raising these?"

Ling Dongzhi hesitated for a moment, "No."

He Qing raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, slightly surprised, "Wild cat?"

Ling Dongzhi rubbed Xiaohui's head lightly, "It's not considered a wild cat. They often move around our community, so they are considered acquaintances."

When He Qing heard what he said, he understood in his heart.As a pet doctor, when facing small animals, the mentality is different from that of ordinary people.Originally, he was a little impatient when he was delayed from get off work, but now his attitude has softened a lot. He was extraordinarily careful when doing the examination, and he was also gentle when shaving around the wound.

"There are teeth marks here, and the toxin of dog teeth is very powerful, which can cause the animal's muscle and epidermal tissue to peel off." He Qing pressed Xiaohui's swollen forelimb, "Listen to this sound, it's like pressing a plastic bag of."

Ling Dongzhi felt even more distressed when he heard that creaking sound, "Then what should we do?"

"First take an anti-inflammatory injection." He Qing shook his head, "It's very troublesome. I have to insert a catheter and irrigate it with saline, and then let the fluid drain out by itself. If you prescribe medicine...can you feed it?"

Ling Dongzhi nodded.

He Qing looked at Ling Dongzhi very carefully, nodded and turned to prepare the injection.

Xiao Maoer and his servant surrounded Ling Dongzhi's legs and meowed softly. When Ling Dongzhi heard the catheterization, he felt a shiver in his heart. He thought it would be very painful.

Xiao Hui is an old cat, so it is doomed to be more knowledgeable and tolerant than Xiao Mian and the others.When He Qing gave the injection, he said that the medicine would hurt, Xiao Hui was shaking all over, but he didn't struggle, but when Ling Dong Zhi's hand came over, he leaned over and rubbed it coquettishly.

Ling Dongzhi's eye circles were reddened by its sensibleness.He could see very clearly that when the catheter was forced into the wound made by the dog's teeth, Xiao Hui's whole body was tense and stiff, even the base of the tail was raised straight up, trembling non-stop.Xiao Mao and the servant couldn't see what was going on on the examination table, but they both seemed to feel Xiao Hui's pain, and stuck their heads to Ling Dongzhi's legs in unison, as if they couldn't bear to watch any more.

He Qing fixed the catheter of the wound with a bandage, and signaled Ling Dongzhi to observe the pus dripping from the catheter, "It will take about two or three days, and when it is drained, you pull out the catheter and use it again." Two days of topical medicine."

Ling Dongzhi nodded, "Thank you doctor."

He Qing looked at Ling Dongzhi's red eye circles, pursed his lips and smiled, "Let it rest for a few minutes first, and I'll prescribe the medicine."

Ling Dongzhi touched Xiao Hui's head, and asked it in a low voice, "Does it hurt?"

Xiao Hui meowed feebly, probably trying to comfort him, but unfortunately the pain was so painful that he couldn't speak.Ling Dongzhi didn't dare to move it casually, so he could only stroke the fur on its back to comfort him.

Footsteps sounded, and He Qing came out of the pharmacy with several medicine bags, looked up at the door, with a slightly surprised look on his face, "Why did you come in? Are you in a hurry?"

Ling Dongzhi subconsciously followed his gaze, and saw a tall man walking in with the door curtain open.He was wearing a straight black overcoat, and a classic Burberry plaid scarf was casually draped over his shoulders. His low-key attire looked extraordinarily calm.When seeing Ling Dongzhi, there was a bit of inadvertent warmth in the slightly sharp eyebrows, "It looks like you from a distance, it really is."

Ling Dongzhi didn't expect to meet him here, so he was taken aback for a moment before he said: "Mr. Zhuang, why are you here?" That silly dog ​​who always played tricks on people couldn't help being a little surprised.

Zhuang Zhou's eyes quickly swept over these kittens, and when he saw the little cats, there was a strange look in his eyes, "Who are you?"

Ling Dongzhi sniffled, "I brought Xiao Hui to see the injury. I was bitten by a dog."

Before Zhuang Zhou saw Xiao Hui, he saw the hand stroking the cat's back first, and secretly felt that this man's hands were really nice, slightly thinner, but with ten fingers that were much slender than others, like the hands of a pianist.Putting it on the gray cat's back, it's like a fine jade carving on a gray blanket.

Xiao Wang also saw Zhuang Zhou now, it still remembered the good deeds it had done, and couldn't help becoming nervous, put its two paws on Ling Dongzhi's calf, and meowed twice.

Ling Dongzhi lowered his head to look at it, then looked at the servant who looked confused, and explained to Zhuang Zhou: "These are kittens that often move around our community. The injured ones are called Xiaohui, and the ones with tiger stripes are called Xiaomian. Son, the brown civet cat is called Master."

Zhuang Zhou thinks these names are quite interesting, "You named them?"

Ling Dongzhi shook his head, the names were said by themselves.But how would he tell Zhuang Zhou this?He could only change the topic vaguely, "They are all very good."

Zhuang Zhou pursed his lips and smiled, with a playful look in his eyes, "Very good?"

Facing Zhuang Zhou's menacing gaze, Ling Dongzhi nodded somewhat guiltyly.At this moment, he also remembered that Xiao Yang had shown his face in front of Zhuang Zhou, and wondered if Zhuang Zhou still remembered it.But Zhuang Zhou was so busy all day long, he should have forgotten it was just a stray cat.

He Qing handed the things in his hands to Ling Dongzhi, and looked at the two with some curiosity, "Is it your friend?"

Ling Dongzhi saw that Heqing and Zhuangzhou should be very close, if he made friends with Zhuangzhou at this moment, he would feel a bit like he was trying to take advantage of him.Furthermore, he and Zhuang Zhou just knew each other, so they should not be considered friends.Thinking of this, he shook his head.Zhuang Zhou didn't see him shaking his head. Hearing He Qing's question, he nodded naturally and said, "Yes." He Qing saw the different reactions of the two people in his eyes, and felt quite interesting in his heart.However, he also saw that Zhuang Zhou's attitude towards this person was a little different, knowing that he could not ask Ling Dongzhi any questions, so he asked him to take good medicine, and led him to the service desk to pay the fee.

Seeing that he didn't say anything like a discount from an acquaintance, Ling Dongzhi was also quietly relieved.Since eating at Zhuangzhou's house that day, the two of them haven't been in touch again.Although he has a good impression of Zhuangzhou, but in the current situation, he is not in the mood to exchange pleasantries.Saying goodbye to Zhuang Zhou, making an appointment for tea at another day, thanking He Qing, and leaving with Xiao Hui in his arms.

Zhuang Zhou kept sending him to the side of the road. Seeing the wild cats follow him into the car and lie down on the floor mat automatically, he couldn't help but feel strange.But Ling Dongzhi was in a hurry to go back, and his eye circles were still red at the moment, no matter how impatient Zhuang Zhou was, he would not rush this opportunity to pester others.

He Qing locked the door, saw that Zhuang Zhou was still standing on the side of the road looking at the direction of Ling Dongzhi's car from a distance, so he wandered over and patted him on the shoulder, "Last time you took it to my brother's place, Is this the one?"

Zhuang Zhou frowned, "Why are you asking this?"

He Qing smiled maliciously, "After I heard what he said, I still wondered, what kind of fairy road is it that can hook you up. Sure enough..."

Zhuang Zhou was displeased, "Speak well."

He Qing said with a smile: "This man looks good, really good. But with this character... a few stray cats can attract him, he is teary, isn't he too soft-hearted?"

Zhuang Zhou asked him back, "Isn't it good?"

"It's not bad." He Qing scratched his head, "I can't say, I just feel that I'm not on the same side as you."

Zhuang Zhou didn't take his words seriously, "Who do you think is with me? That son of a bitch, Tu Shengbei, is ruthless. Do you think he is with me?"

He Qing busy said: "You can forgive me. I just said it casually, and you brought up the overlord... Forget it, you should just pretend that I didn't say anything."

Zhuang Zhou remained silent, but secretly complained in his heart: No matter what good things he has, I can't let you know anyway!
