The two-day time limit consumed almost all of the family's surplus food. Xia Shenlan didn't have time to mourn the spring and autumn, so she packed up her things when she returned home and prepared for the next day's sea trip.

After that, I have to worry about the black cat.

Xia Shenlan planned to squat at home, but instead of guarding the balcony, he used a camera to secretly take pictures of the balcony. When the black cat appeared in the camera, he rushed out to catch the black cat, and then educated it lovingly.

After waiting for a day, the black cat finally arrived when the sun was setting, but it was held in someone's hand, a bloody mass, with its tail hanging down weakly.

Xia Shenlan took a breath, and immediately understood that the black cat was caught by someone. The man probably observed the black cat stealing the fish earlier and then sent the fish to him, so he brought the black cat to settle the score.

He hurried to the fish tank and stretched out his hand to pull the mermaid.

"Someone is coming, go to my room and hide for a while."

The mermaid may not have understood Xia Shenlan's words, but Xia Shenlan stretched out her hand, so he naturally grabbed Xia Shenlan and let Xia Shenlan carry him out of the fish tank and put him on the bed in the bedroom.

After all the tossing, Xia Shenlan's clothes and pants were all wet.

But the man was coming soon, so he didn't have time to hide anything, so he took off his clothes and pants in front of the mermaid, threw them on the ground, took out a set of clean clothes from the closet, and put them on.

The whole process is very fast, almost completed in 1 minute.

As soon as the pants were put on, there was a knock on the door outside.

As Xia Shenlan walked out, she worriedly told: "Just stay inside obediently and don't make any noise."

Opening the door, there was still someone she knew, Xia Shenlan asked, "Brother Yuan, why are you here?"

"Xiao Xia, I came here just to ask you, do you know this cat?" Said, Brother Yuan raised the cat in his hand.

From a closer look, the cat's condition was dire. It seemed that it had suffered a severe blow to the head. Its eyes could not be opened all the time, and the hair on its face was clotted with blood.

Xia Shenlan raised her hand subconsciously, wanting to touch the black cat, but she was afraid of hurting it, so her palm could only hang in the air without embarrassment.

"I know it. It hid from the rain on my balcony when it rained a few days ago. I brought it in. But after the rain stopped, it ran away. It has been sending fish to me these days. If you want to take Jiang Chenxing to the hospital for a routine checkup, you don't have time to take care of it..."

"Since this is the case, I'll just say it straight. This cat has been stealing fish from my house. I ran with it, only to find that it stole the fish and sent it to you, so I brought it here... "

"I'm sorry, Brother Yuan, this cat also caused these things to repay my kindness for saving its life. Anyway, I am responsible for it... Otherwise, I caught about [-] catties a few days ago. Black snapper, and a sea bass, if you take it back, it will be my apology."

"Okay...it's all from neighbors, just do as you say. And this cat..."

"Give it to me. I will take care of it in the future, and nothing like this will ever happen again."

The things Xia Shenlan gave can be sold for more than 1000. This compensation can be said to be very high.

Brother Yuan didn't want to make things too tense, so he responded straightforwardly: "That's fine, I'll give you this cat. But you must take care of it in the future. If it were someone else, you might not keep it. I'm dead."

"Yes, I'll take care of it."

Xia Shenlan exchanged the fish for the cat. After a simple inspection, she found that Brother Yuan had beaten the black cat to death. One of the black cat's legs was broken, and the bones on the right side of his face were dented.

If this is not sent to the pet hospital for treatment, there is no way out.

Xia Shenlan quickly put the mermaid back into the fish tank, explained a few words to Jiang Chenxing, and took the black cat to the veterinarian.

Jiang Chenxing looked at Xia Shenlan's back in a hurry, his eyes gradually became dark, and after a long time, he closed his eyes.

He had already accepted the pain, but no matter how many times he watched Xia Shenlan's back, he couldn't get used to it.

If his body wasn't so weak, could he follow out and share even a little bit of sadness and helplessness for Xia Shenlan?

Xia Shenlan directly called a car to the county seat, and paid a high price to take a taxi to the best pet hospital.

As soon as she entered the door, Xia Shenlan hurriedly shouted: "Doctor, please check how it is doing?"

The hospital often rescues some stray dogs, but it is rare to see such a tragic situation.

The doctor hurriedly took the cat to the bed, and checked it briefly. During the period, the black cat screamed in pain. Xia Shenlan could only hold down the black cat cruelly, and cooperate with the doctor's examination.

"The front leg bone was fractured, the ribs also showed signs of fracture, and the right eye was stabbed by bone slag. Surgery must be performed, but the success of the operation will also leave sequelae and shorten the life expectancy. The operation fee plus follow-up treatment costs, at least Thirty thousand, you should carefully consider whether to have an operation."

"Do it!" Xia Shenlan replied without hesitation.

He failed to save Jiang Chenxing's life, but now he can at least try to save the black cat's life.

"Okay, then we can prepare for the operation now, its condition is not very good."

The condition of the black cat was not good enough to be seen by the naked eye. After the inspection, it closed its eyes again, and its breathing was so weak that it seemed that it would fall asleep at any time.

The doctor pushed the cat into the operating room, and a receptionist came to guide Xia Shenlan to go through the procedures.

Because there is no pet certificate, the black cat is registered as a stray cat.

"Looking at how nervous you were just now, I thought it was a cat you raised, but I didn't expect it to be just a stray cat. Surgery costs a lot of money, and you didn't hesitate..."

The expression on the front desk was shocked, and he looked at Xia Shenlan with better eyes, "In this case, our hospital can help you apply for relief funds for stray animals. Although there are not many, I hope it can help you."

"Thank you..." Xia Shenlan paused for a moment, and said angrily, "Its injury has something to do with me..."

Xia Shenlan sighed, and briefly talked about his relationship with the black cat.

The receptionist opened his eyes wide in surprise, "It's repaying a favor, it's so psychic."

Xia Shenlan smiled wryly and shook her head: "I would rather it not be so human."

If it wasn't because of human nature, if it wasn't for repaying kindness, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened.

"Don't blame yourself too much. No one wants this kind of thing to happen. It will be fine."

"hope so."

The black cat was hurt too badly, it was hard for Xia Shenlan to comfort herself that the black cat would be fine.

"It will be fine. Our hospital occasionally receives animals that have been in car accidents, and those that are more serious than this can be rescued."

The stone hanging in Xia Shenlan's heart dropped slightly, but he was far from being able to be as indifferent as the front desk.

It may be difficult for those who have not experienced it to imagine how difficult it is to wait outside the operating room.

You never know what will happen in the next second, maybe the dark clouds will turn clear, or it may be a trial like falling into an ice cellar.

Looking at the red light, like a guiding light on Huangquan Road, I was afraid that my beloved soul would die in the next second.

Waiting outside the operating room is not waiting for hope, but fear of parting.

The sky gradually darkened, Xia Shenlan's temperature was taken away by the cold air, listening to the silence of the room, her heart gradually became desolate.

"Ding--"

The door to the operating room finally opened.

Xia Shenlan raised her head sadly, and saw the doctor showing him a trustworthy smile.

The desolate heart was ignited, and everything began to recover.

Fortunately, he waited for hope instead of ushering in parting.

"Can I have a look at it?" Xia Shenlan asked eagerly.

"Okay, but it hasn't passed the anesthesia yet, so don't touch it for now."

"it is good."

The doctor pushed the black cat out, curled up on the bed in a small ball, and Xia Shenlan suddenly recalled that night when the rainstorm hit, it curled up wet in the corner, and it looked like this.

"Okay, it's alright."

Xia Shenlan said softly, not only for the black cat, but also for herself.

Generally speaking, the operation was successful, but I cannot move for the time being, and I have to observe and recuperate in the hospital for a period of time.

All kinds of expenses add up to an estimated [-] yuan. Xia Shenlan can't stay here with the black cat. He has to go back and find a way to make money.

Xia Shenlan temporarily used the money from Jiang Chenxing's father to pay for the operation. Jiang's father would pay 20 yuan a year for medical expenses and nursing expenses. It seemed a little stretched.

If he didn't sell the fish to make up the money, Jiang Chenxing might not be able to pay for the medicine.

Xia Shenlan's family is not considered rich, but he is not short of money, so he has always gone to sea to catch some fish to eat for himself, but suddenly it changed to fishing to buy in the market, and the pressure came up.

Obviously it was just an extra activity of taking fish to the market to sell, but he felt extremely tired all of a sudden. He felt sore and backache every day, and he became obviously confused when walking.

One day, Xia Shenlan came out of the kitchen with the freshly fried dishes, and suddenly staggered on the ground, and the plate in her hand just happened to smash into the fish tank.

Although the mermaid reacted quickly and completely avoided the fate of being hit by the plate, the oil spread on the water surface and inevitably stained the mermaid's hair.

Xia Shenlan: "..."

Really, the busier you are, the more trouble you have to deal with?

"It's over, I have to clean the fish tank again." Xia Shenlan sighed, lifted the mermaid's hair for a look, and said helplessly: "It seems that I have to wash your hair."

The mermaid seldom encountered such things as oil in the deep sea, so he pulled his hair uncomfortably.

Xia Shenlan was afraid that he would accidentally bald that beautiful blond hair, so she quickly grabbed his wrist.

"Don't squeeze it, come out, and I'll wash it for you."

"Brother Xia, don't you want to eat?" Jiang Chenxing watched the whole process in a short distance, and finally asked calmly.

Xia Shenlan was so tired recently that she didn't notice that Jiang Chenxing's mood was wrong, she hugged the mermaid and led him out of the fish tank, and said: "You eat first, I've prepared all the meals, and the dishes are also on the table .I’ll wash it for the mermaid first, his nails are too sharp, leave it alone, maybe he will accidentally pluck his hair bald.”
