start with a pet store

Chapter 1040 The silly son of the landlord

The policeman listened for a while and since he didn't need to be present for such a medical matter, he made an excuse to leave.

Seeing that everyone had reached an agreement, Dr. Tan confirmed it with everyone again.

Mr. Ji continued to stay in the ICU, letting nature take its course and no longer receiving resuscitation efforts until his life ended on its own.

Ji Ling is no longer responsible for the follow-up treatment.

Because they had a house and the woman felt a little guilty about the child, she agreed.

According to the doctor, Ji's father should die in the next two days, so Ji Ling took an extra week off, as a last token of her gratitude as a daughter.

Unexpectedly, Ji's father passed away that night.

The funeral was completed in just three days.

Although Ji Ling was not responsible, he still participated in the whole process.

Looking at the new tombstone, Ji Ling no longer had tears in her eyes. She whispered in her heart: From now on, you will sleep forever and I won't miss you.

A week later, Lu Jingxing sent her on the plane back to school again.

……

Lu Jingxing also returned to the store.

It seemed like something happened, but it also seemed like nothing happened.

"Brother Lu, come and take a look..." Lu Jingxing was looking at the surgical records of the past few days when Ding Fang ran over and called him.

It was rare to hear Ding Fang's anxious voice. Lu Jingxing quickly put down the file, stood up and followed her out.

Hearing the noise, Xiaojiu and Situ Fang also ran out.

"What's wrong?" several people asked at the same time.

At this time, several customers in the store were looking at something with their heads down.

Several people hurried over.

I saw a blue cat walking in leisurely.

However, the little guy was all dirty, with his tongue sticking out and drooling, just strolling around the hall.

Everyone in the store followed its gaze.

"How come it came in by itself just by sticking out its tongue? What happened?" Xiao Jiu half lowered his head to look at the little guy.

"It has come in several times today. It just came in for a walk before leaving. I don't care. It has come in twice this time. I think it must be sick, so I called Brother Lu." Ding Fang said as she took out the can and put it on the ground. But the little guy obviously wanted to eat it. He sniffed it, looked at it with some pain, and then continued to wander around.

From time to time he looked up at this and that, and he didn't seem to be afraid of people at all.

"It seems like it can't retract its little tongue?" Situ Fang looked at it and followed it in circles.

"Stray cat?" Lu Jingxing asked Ding Fang.

"I don't know, it should be. Anyway, I don't see any owner." Ding Fang nodded.

"Hey, you just came in like this, do you have money?" Situ Fang teased.

"The Black and White Impermanence are here to claim my life. This is the first time I see the Blue Impermanence coming to see a doctor himself." Xiao Jiu laughed.

Although the little guy looked a little pitiful, everyone silently praised his cleverness in their hearts.

Judging from the hair on its body, this little guy must be a stray cat.

However, it shouldn't wander for long.

Situ Fang put on gloves and picked up the little guy directly.

The little guy's yellow eyes were quite bright. He didn't resist even when being caught. He just stared at this and that with his round eyes, without making any noise or making any noise.

"It's quite well behaved. It doesn't make any noise or make any trouble." Xiaojiu teased it.

"I don't think he can be called out. Let's take him in for a checkup." Lu Jingxing said.

I saw the little guy's tongue hanging out and I couldn't push it in.

I gave it a basic checkup first, and then took an X-ray of its head.

"Master, the results are out. It's a rather serious temporomandibular joint adhesion..." Situ Fang walked in.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "I guessed it..."

"This is the reason why its mouth can't open. It's so serious that it can't even retract its tongue, let alone eat..." Situ Fang was shocked: "I've encountered this problem before, but never this serious. It must have been like this for more than a day or two. It's a stray cat, so it's really lucky."

"It is indeed rare to see such a serious condition. It must have had an owner before, but the surgery is not cheap, so the owner let it wander after knowing that it had this disease. It must not have been a wanderer from the beginning. Otherwise, it would not have become so serious. If it had not had an owner, it would have gone to the cat planet long ago." Lu Jingxing said.

"What should we do then?" Situ Fang asked.

"What should we do?" Lu Jingxing asked back.

"Should we find an owner for it first?" Situ Fang felt that since it already had an owner, they must find the owner, and the cost would be high.

"Do you have a way to find it?" Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

Situ Fang shook his head: "No."

"That's it. It's useless even if you find it. If the owner wanted to treat it, he would have come a long time ago. Now it's in this condition, even if you find it, the owner won't acknowledge it, let alone pay for its medical expenses." Lu Jingxing shook his head.

This is what makes him most depressed. There are always some people who say they want to keep a pet purely on a whim. As long as the pet is sick or something, they will give up immediately and let it wander around without caring about its life or death.

"So we're going to perform surgery on it? That's not very kind to its owner." Situ Fang was a little indignant.

Lu Jingxing was amused: "Is this your first day in this business? Otherwise, what should we do? We won't take care of it."

"No matter what you do, it won't work. If it doesn't have surgery, it will only live for a few days at most. Besides, it's a blue cat. It's lucky that it hasn't been beaten up by other stray cats during these days of wandering." Situ Fang felt a little distressed when he saw the little guy.

"Okay, let's quickly prepare for surgery on it. This just shows that this guy is smart enough to find us. It's not destined to die." Lu Jingxing said.

As they were talking, a man came in, rubbed his hands and asked, "Um, how is the cat that just ran in?"

Lu Jingxing and Situ Fang looked at each other and said, "It just had a checkup and needs surgery. It has temporomandibular joint adhesion."

"Does it have an owner? Will you save it?" the man asked. "I don't know if it has an owner yet, but I guess it probably doesn't. It's 90% likely to have been abandoned." Lu Jingxing said.

"I think it's very smart. It knew to come to the hospital. I also like this kind of gray cat. Otherwise, I'll pay for its surgery and give it to me when it's cured, okay?" The man seemed to be in embarrassment and said.

This action completely confused Lu Jingxing. Where did this stupid son of a landlord come from, and why was he so eager to give him money?

"Of course you can, but we have procedures for adoption here. Otherwise, please go to the front desk to register. If there is no problem, we will give it to you." Although Lu Jingxing was very surprised by such an unexpected thing, he still said calmly.

If the conditions are not right, you cannot adopt the child no matter how much money you offer.

I finally managed to rescue it, and you took it home and tortured it half to death, how could that be acceptable?

"Okay, okay, I actually registered my information a long time ago, but I never found a suitable one. I just saw that one and I thought it suits my taste, so I want it." The man actually nodded repeatedly.

Lu Jingxing didn't know what he was thinking, but the conditions had been stated anyway, and he had to meet the adoption requirements, so what else could he say? He could only consider that this little guy was pretty lucky.

When they arrived at the operating room, Lu Jingxing told Situ Fang about this.

Situ Fang's eyes sparkled: "There are actually such kind-hearted people? Does he know how much the surgery will cost?"

Lu Jingxing didn't stop moving his hands: "I told him, but if he really wants it, I will still give him a discount."

"A broken bone costs more than two thousand yuan. Can't you just buy one?" Situ Fang didn't understand.

"You see, this is your mentality. I just think it's smart and pitiful, so I want to adopt it..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

The two completed the operation while chatting and laughing.

The man had good qualities in all aspects and met the adoption criteria.

He also bought a lot of cat food, freeze-dried food, snacks and so on.

In Lu Jingxing's words, he is simply the stupid son of a landlord.

However, Lu Jingxing did give the lowest discount, charging only a small amount for the medicine and not even including the surgery fee.

As long as the little guy can live well, it is its fate.

After a few days, the owner gave back to Lu Jingxing. The little guy was able to eat and sleep, and was very well behaved.

Lu Jingxing also felt very relieved. Not only did the little guy find a new owner, but his own points also increased by several dozen points.

……

Being busy in the store every day and performing several operations a day are the days that Lu Jingxing feels most comfortable because this is what he likes most.

It was just before the end of the get off work day and most of the employees in the store had left.

Lu Jingxing thought there was nothing to do when he got home, so he went to the backyard to play with Ba Mao and the others for a while.

The person on night shift is Xiaojiu.

"Brother Lu, are you leaving?" Lu Jingxing, who was playing with Xiao Ba and the others, received a call from Xiao Jiu.

"No, I'm in the backyard." Lu Jingxing was not going to answer it. He knew that Xiaojiu was on duty today and he could go in directly.

However, Ba Mao and the others were sticking to him, and he didn't want to let go.

After a while, Xiaojiu came to the backyard with a girl, holding a blue and white cat in his arms.

Lu Jingxing patted his head and stood up: "What's wrong?"

Xiaojiu walked up to him and put the blue and white one directly on the ground.

The little guy supported himself with his front legs and dragged himself on the ground with his two hind legs. He fell to the ground after walking a few steps, then got up and continued walking.

"This girl picked it up. She said she found it in the park and felt sorry for it, so she sent it to us. I checked it and couldn't see anything wrong with it. There didn't seem to be any obvious scars on its hind legs, but the leg should be broken..." Xiaojiu said.

"Did you pick it up?" Lu Jingxing asked as he watched the little guy walk with difficulty.

"Yes, I was going to go for a run. I had seen it before and brought it cat food from time to time. It was very obedient. I already have two cats, and the one I have at home is very timid and jealous, so I didn't adopt it.

When I entered the park today, I saw a man with a stick walking out. Then I seemed to hear it barking, so I went in to look for it. When I found it, it was like this.

I sent it to the pet shop where I usually take my cat to for veterinary treatment, and the owner of the pet shop said that they couldn't cure its condition and it might be like this for life, but I remember watching a lot of your videos, and my friend also asked me to bring it to you to have a look, if you can't help it, then there really is no way for it." The girl spoke rapidly, explaining the whole story quite clearly.

"It's a stray again. It looks like a stray too. This shouldn't be the case. Its face is so well-shaped and it's so fat." Xiao Jiu only looked at the little guy's condition and didn't ask the girl in detail.

Lu Jingxing picked up the little guy and put him on the table in the octagonal pavilion to observe carefully: "There is a small hole on its back caused by a needle. This should not be a needle, but more like... a nail on a stick."

The main thing is that there are no obvious scars on the guy’s legs, but his legs are paralyzed.

In the past, every time Lu Jingxing heard about this kind of thing, he would be extremely angry, but now he really has no choice but to feel helpless. There are always some demons in this world, but fortunately there are always people like this girl who patch things up.

Lu Jingxing immediately arranged for a CT scan for the little guy.

After the results came out, Lu Jingxing was seen frowning and shaking his head slightly from time to time.

The girl was anxious: "My friends all said that you are the best, and you are especially good at curing paralysis. Can't you cure it too?"

"How should I put it? Each type of paralysis is different. Some are caused by the brain, and some are caused by nerve compression. His current condition is a dorsal lamina fracture, which cannot be seen without a CT scan. Conventional treatment is completely useless. The nail smashed the bone, and the bone fragments entered the spinal canal. I don't know how many fragments pierced the nerve center...

We also tried to feed it, but it refused to eat. Its stomach couldn't handle it for long, which was like adding insult to injury. "Lu Jingxing was not pretending, but the little guy was in a really bad condition.

"Does that mean there's nothing that can be done about it? Woohoo, I should have taken it home, or found someone to adopt it, then it wouldn't have been beaten. It's all my fault, woohoo..." Before Lu Jingxing could finish his words, the girl covered her face and started crying.

"The little guy's condition is indeed serious. But there is still hope. I can try, but the chances are not very high. I will try my best. Don't blame yourself. This is not your fault." Lu Jingxing has seen too many such situations, but he still doesn't know how to comfort people.

"You are willing to save it, right?" The girl raised her head and burst into laughter.

Before she came, the previous pet shop owner told her that as long as Dr. Lu was willing to take over, there would be hope.

Lu Jingxing was confused by her sudden change of expression. I said you can try, but I didn't say it's 100% certain. How come you act like you've been cured?

"Yeah, the pet shop owner said before I came here that as long as you are willing to perform surgery on it, there will be no problem, so I know it can be saved." The girl explained.

"Uh..." This statement made Lu Jingxing speechless: "Let me try..."

The operation was indeed difficult. To be absolutely sure, he would have to use up points that he hadn't used for a long time tonight.
