Chapter 961 A Guy with a Good Hand

"I'm more than one person, Director..." Lu Jingxing said halfway when Xiao Li was unwilling to take his money, and the director had already come out of the ticket office and was calling him outside the door.

He stepped out, nodded to Ji Ling who was not far away, and then walked towards the director.

"Didn't you say there was someone else? Where is that person?" The headmaster stretched his neck and looked behind Lu Jingxing.

Lu Jingxing turned halfway around and pointed at Ji Ling and others not far away: "Look, there are quite a few..."

"Hey, that doesn't matter. Those are just little kids. They don't need tickets. Just call them in. Come in with me. I have something to trouble you with..." The headmaster smiled at Ji Ling who was looking at them.

Lu Jingxing waved to Ji Ling.

"Brother is calling us over. Xiaochen, Xiaoxi, you must follow us closely. We can't get separated. There are so many people here..." Ji Ling was pushing the cart, and Xiaobao was dancing with excitement in the cart.

"My brother and I will each hold one side. We have to protect our younger brother. We won't get separated." Lu Xi held the right side of the cart tightly, while Lu Chen stood on the left side of the cart.

The three of them walked towards the gate together.

Lu Jingxing ran over with a smile, took the cart from Ji Ling, and pushed it together towards the director at the entrance of the staff passage.

"Are these all your babies?" The head teacher looked at Lu Chen, Lu Xi, and the little treasure in the stroller and asked in disbelief.

"Haha, no, let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend Ji Ling, also my work partner, and this is the director..." Lu Jingxing introduced both parties with a smile.

"Hello, Xiao Ji, hello..." The head teacher extended his hand and shook hands with Ji Ling in a friendly manner.

Ji Ling immediately shook the principal's hand gently and smiled.

"These three little ones are my brothers and sisters. The one in the stroller belongs to my aunt." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"Oh, I was saying, this little girl doesn't look like the mother of these kids." The head teacher laughed and led everyone in.

Several people walked in together.

"Well, kids, you go to the garden to play with your sisters-in-law first. I want to borrow your brother. There is a small problem with the animals in the garden. I was just about to go look for your brother, and he just happened to come. Do you mind?" The director half bent over and looked at Lu Chen and Lu Xi with a smile on his face.

“We don’t mind…” Lu Chen and Lu Xi waved their hands and said in unison.

"Haha, that's really good, Xiao Ji. Thank you for your hard work. Can you take care of the three of them by yourself? Otherwise, I'll call an employee to help you?" The head teacher looked at Ji Ling's small body and asked with some concern.

Ji Ling waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, I can do it, you guys go and get busy."

"We can help take care of your brother." Lu Chen said in an adult tone, "Brother, don't worry and go see the animals the director mentioned. We will be fine."

The headmaster smiled even more kindly: "This little kid is really good."

Lu Jingxing raised his eyebrows and looked at Ji Ling: "Can you really do this?"

Ji Ling smiled and nodded: "It's okay, I brought food and drinks for Xiaobao, and I just changed his diaper. Besides, Xiaochen and Xiaoxi are here, so it's okay, you can go without worry. When you are done, call us. I will watch over Xiaochen and Xiaoxi and won't play with animals."

Lu Jingxing nodded, and then said to the director: "It's okay, Director, let's go first."

Ji Ling also smiled and nodded to the director.

The director then took Lu Jingxing and hurriedly walked into the garden.

Ji Ling led the three kids and slowly walked towards the first park.

The little monkey who was sleeping on the tree suddenly woke up and said, "Why do I seem to hear the voice of my big brother?"

It was half hanging on the tree, swaying and looking towards the door weakly.

"Chiji, you really are my big brother..." The little guy's eyes were shining, and after a few somersaults he came to the big tree in front of Lu Jingxing. Then he saw Lu Jingxing coming under the tree, and he immediately jumped up: "Chiji, big brother..." He hopped onto Lu Jingxing.

Lu Jingxing and the director, who were talking to them, were both shocked.

"You damn monkey, what are you doing? Why are you out again? Damn it, I can't lock you up anymore, right..." The director pretended to hit it.

The little monkey climbed onto Lu Jingxing's shoulder and made faces at the director, chirping and screaming non-stop.

This attracted many tourists to look in their direction.

"It's okay, Director, it's okay, it won't catch me..." Lu Jingxing gently blocked the director. This little guy is soft-hearted, so it's better not to confront him. The more you confront him, the harder it will be to deal with.

The director pointed at the little monkey and shook his head helplessly: "You little monkey, you are the most naughty in the whole garden."

"It's okay, let's go to the turtle garden." Lu Jingxing pulled the director.

Then he turned around and patted the little monkey's butt gently: "Little guy, you need to take a bath. You smell." He frowned and said with some disgust.

"Hey, is there anything?" The little monkey reached out and scratched his armpits left and right: "Smell?"

Lu Jingxing was amused by its funny appearance and started laughing: "Hmm, stinky..."

"Aiyaya, I want to take a bath..." The little monkey grinned. He was actually despised by his big brother. He felt so embarrassed.

"Okay, let me go to the turtle garden to see the big turtle. The director said it is sick. You, go wait for me over there. We will go back later. You can come with me to the store and I will ask someone to give you a bath. Look at you, everyone is looking at me, and I won't be able to do anything later, right?" Lu Jingxing said in a kind voice.

The little monkey scratched his head, thinking that what Lu Jingxing said made sense. He thought about it and nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you at the big tree at the door. You must take me away later..."

"Okay, I promise to take you away..." Lu Jingxing stretched out his hand and clapped his hands with the little monkey.

The little guy happily climbed up a nearby tree and ran towards the tree at the gate.

"Hey, why did this little guy leave so soon?" The director of the zoo naturally didn't know what the little monkey said to Lu Jingxing, but he felt that the little monkey seemed to have become more obedient today. "It may feel that it's no fun to follow us." Lu Jingxing laughed and said, "What happened to the turtle you just mentioned?"

"Just now, someone from the turtle garden called me and said that the guy hasn't eaten or moved for several days. There must be something wrong, so they asked the doctor to take a look. I just happened to see you, so I'm troubling you." The director walked side by side with Lu Jingxing.

"The last time I saw the turtles in the turtle garden, they all seemed to be quite big. They must be quite old." Lu Jingxing asked.

"Yes, basically the youngest ones are all ten years old. The one that got sick this time is the youngest, and we're not sure if it's sick, but it's not hibernating now. It was eating a few days ago, but it stopped eating in the past two days. Everything else is normal, so that guy said this one must have a problem." The director is half a head shorter than Lu Jingxing, but he walks quite fast.

Lu Jingxing followed him closely, and the two of them soon arrived at the Turtle Garden.

"Ahua, I've brought a doctor. Where is the turtle?" the director shouted to a man who was cleaning the feeding trough not far away.

"Director, I locked it in there. Please come here..." Ahua turned around and looked at the two of them and replied.

The best thing about this zoo is that each park has at least one staff member, and there are also people specifically responsible for sanitation, so the sanitation is well done, and no park has a very dirty and smelly environment.

Just like this turtle garden, including the pool in the middle, it is relatively clean. It is not the kind of stinky water that has not changed for thousands of years that you see in some places.

Lu Jingxing followed the director into the inner garden that Ahua mentioned.

"This is it. It hasn't eaten or drunk anything for the past two days and hasn't moved much. Look, I moved it in here this morning and it has been staying here ever since without moving." Ahua pointed to a Burmese tortoise the size of half a washbasin lying in the corner of the pool in the inner room.

There are two different turtles in the pond, and there is another one next to it.

The little guy was sleeping with his neck tucked in, but when he saw someone coming, he stretched out his neck and turned it left and right, then closed his eyes again, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.

"It?" Lu Jing walked over and pointed at the place where Ahua pointed, pointing at the one that had just looked at them. His intuition told him that this was the one with the problem.

"Yeah..." Ah Hua ran over and picked up the little guy: "They don't bite, they are very docile, it's okay to pet them casually."

He placed the turtle in a spacious area in the middle of the house.

"Besides not eating, are there any other symptoms?" Lu Jingxing squatted down and stroked the little guy's back. This little guy felt nice to the touch.

"Anyway, it doesn't seem to be in very good spirits. It's completely different from when it was well. It used to be very lively and liked to follow me around every day. But look at it these past two days, it looks half dead..." Ah Hua was only about twenty years old. He spoke very directly and liked to talk a lot, chattering nonstop.

"Okay, okay, why is it half dead? It's a thousand-year-old turtle, this is just the beginning..." Seeing that Ah Hua was getting more and more wrong, the head teacher quickly spoke up to stop him.

Ahua stuck out his tongue. What he said seemed a little wrong, and he coughed twice in embarrassment.

Lu Jingxing had already gone to look at the little guy.

Wearing gloves, he reached directly behind the little guy's butt: "Has it laid eggs? I think it's stuck?" Lu Jingxing asked Ahua while touching it.

"Let me think about it. Yes, it seems that it is time for it to lay eggs. Why didn't I think about it in this way?" Ah Hua seemed to have suddenly realized something and slapped his forehead.

"You mean it doesn't eat because it wants to lay eggs?" The head teacher was confused, thinking it was some big deal. It turned out to be because it wants to lay eggs?
"Not exactly. I think its eggs are stuck, which might be quite troublesome. Do they fight often or something? I touched its eggs, but I think there might be broken eggs inside. It will require surgery." Lu Jingxing frowned slightly.

The head teacher and Ahua looked at each other.

"It is indeed lively and likes to fight. It has fought with many turtles in the garden. I didn't pay attention to what you said..." Ahua said with some annoyance.

This little guy is his favorite.

Lu Jingxing wanted to pry open the little guy's mouth to take a look.

The little guy shook his head: "Go away, don't mess with me..."

Lu Jingxing sneered: "You are still a guy with a bad temper. You are not feeling well. Let me take a look at you..."

He carefully moved his hand towards the little guy's neck. It would not be fun to be bitten by this guy.

Upon hearing his voice, the tortoise jumped aside swiftly as if it had seen a ghost. It looked frightened: "Oh, who are you..."

"I'm a doctor, not a joke. I'm here to treat you. You're not feeling well..." Lu Jingxing was stunned by its big reaction, but he reacted immediately.

"Doctor?" The little guy tried to open his eyes wide and looked at Lu Jingxing, then smacked his lips twice with difficulty. He felt really uncomfortable.

"Let me see, are you feeling uncomfortable in your mouth too?" Lu Jingxing reached out to it again.

Because of this brief communication, the little guy stopped resisting and cooperated by opening his mouth wide.

Lu Jingxing squatted and took two steps forward, looked closer at the little guy's mouth, then looked up and said to the director who was waiting by the side: "Director, it also has stomatitis, which should be the main reason why it doesn't eat. Let me take it back here, and a CT scan can confirm the situation. If the egg is broken, surgery must be performed, and the stomatitis also needs to be treated..."

"There is indeed a problem, right? I thought this kid was just talking nonsense. If there is a problem, just treat it. This little guy is a protected animal. If there is a problem, I have to report it."

"It's life will be fine. It can live for several decades at most. You can decide whether I should take it back or you can arrange for a delivery." Lu Jingxing's feet were a little numb from squatting, so he stood up and faced the director.

"Isn't this dangerous for now? Doesn't mean that surgery is needed immediately?" asked the headmaster.

Lu Jingxing didn't quite understand what the director meant. He shook his head and said, "It should be fine for a day or two, but it can't be delayed for too long. If the egg is really broken, it will still be dangerous if it's delayed for too long."

"Well, you go and accompany your girlfriend first. I'll ask our employees to send them directly to your store. You've finally come out to play, so you can check it when you get back. It won't delay either of you..." said the head teacher, looking at the little guy on the ground.

Lu Jingxing smiled: "I thought you wanted to take another look, so it's this. No problem, please send it to the store. I'll tell our store to prepare a CT scan for it. When I get back, I'll arrange the surgery as soon as possible. There shouldn't be any problem."

"Okay, that's it. By the way, Ahua, are there any other problems? If you have any, please tell me and we'll go check together..." The head teacher looked at Ahua who was standing aside in a daze.

"No, no. Oh, there is another one, the older one, outside. Many people say it's pitiful. Do you want to go and see it?" Ahua said, pointing outside.

"Then let's go together. It's a rare occasion for Doctor Lu to come here..." The head teacher turned around and led them out.
