White armor

Chapter 245 Why not release Huahua back to the mountains?
"???"

Luo Hao was stunned. The scene before him seemed to be intertwined with the uneasiness in his heart, but for a moment he couldn't figure out what was going on.

Alas, Luo Hao sighed in his heart.

"You are still in a feudal society here? Nine-year compulsory education is not universal?" When Chen Yong saw this scene, the anger he had been holding back turned into sarcasm.

Liu Yiyi frowned as she watched. She also realized that something was wrong with this visit to the Walnut Terrace base. From the staff's hesitating and faltering to the white-haired man kneeling down and begging, it was all very strange.

"Professor Luo..." The staff member lowered his head, clenched his fists, and did not dare to look up. He said softly, "Go and see the bamboo."

Luo Hao nodded, engraving the scene before him deeply in his mind.

The man who looked like a leader was very impatient. He turned around and was about to leave, but saw Luo Hao and his group.

"Dr. Xiao Luo!" He immediately changed his clothes and face, and strode over with a friendly and gentle smile on his face. "I heard Mr. Xia talking about you, and today I really saw the real person! Young and promising, young and promising! "

He walked and talked, full of enthusiasm. When he came in front of Luo Hao, he stretched out his hand and shook hands with Luo Hao warmly.

"My last name is Zhang, Lizao Zhang, and I'm in charge of wild breeding of giant pandas."

"Hello, Professor Zhang." Luo Hao was polite and reserved.

“I’m sorry to embarrass you.” Professor Zhang laughed. “Releasing giant pandas back into the forest always faces many difficulties. These nannies treat the giant pandas as their own children. They are stubborn and no one wants to release the giant pandas back into the wild.

This is human nature, please don't laugh at me."

"Normal." Luo Hao smiled. "In my clinical practice, when an old patient who I treated dozens of times passed away, I would feel sad for a while. It is said that doctors cannot have empathy, but we are not plants or trees and cannot be heartless."

Professor Zhang smiled, "Dr. Xiao Luo, please come this way. Elder Xia recommended you. Last time you went to Beijing, you solved a big problem."

"It's a coincidence, it's a coincidence."

"Why do I feel like something is wrong?" Liu Yiyi, who was hanging behind, lowered her voice and asked Chen Yong in his ear.

"If Luo Hao is so polite, he must be harboring evil intentions." Chen Yong said, "That's definitely not right. Just wait and see."

"Bad?"

"Just watch, this bastard never tells the truth. And the brighter he smiles, the more trouble he is going to make. Don't be fooled by him." Chen Yong tried to take two breaths, but he just felt that he was lacking oxygen and had difficulty speaking.

I originally wanted to carry Liu Yiyi's big box, but I didn't have the strength, so I had to let Luo Hao carry it.

Fortunately, Luo Hao was like a big animal and had no altitude sickness at all. He carried the large box weighing dozens of kilograms as if it was nothing.

"Professor Zhang, how is Zhuzi now?" Luo Hao asked.

Speaking of this, Professor Zhang was a little angry.

"These nannies are really going too far!" Professor Zhang scolded in a deep voice, "They are just giant panda breeders, but they really think the pandas are their own pets. In the process of bamboo rewilding, they only know how to cause trouble."

Luo Hao pondered and glanced at the man who had just crawled up from the ground as he passed by.

"Xiao Liu, don't embarrass yourself. Take Dr. Luo to see Zhuzi. He's a professor at Union Medical College and can't handle all the surgeries every day. Why did you have to contact Dr. Xia without telling me?"

As Professor Zhang spoke, the anger in his heart seemed to be uncontrollable.

Although his tone did not change at all, and he still had a smile on his face, and was very gentle and compassionate, Luo Hao could sense that the volcano in his heart was about to erupt.

Oh?
Is this the result of enhanced mental strength?

Luo Hao concentrated his mind to feel it, but the perception was rather weak. He thought it would be much clearer if he added a little more.

Zhuzi's nanny was in tears, his eyes were red, and he looked completely out of spirit.

It was as if the bones had been pulled out and it turned into a puddle of mud.

Luo Hao smiled and said, "Excuse me, is the injury to the bamboo serious?"

"Heavy."

"not heavy."

Daddy Liu and Professor Zhang said in unison.

Faced with such a tearing scene, Luo Hao stopped talking. He couldn't get anything out of him by asking, so he just had to watch it for himself.

After entering the yard, there was a glass house inside. A huge panda was lying on the ground with a bandage on its back.

"When did you change the medicine? Is there a fracture?"

"There is a minor fracture, but this is nothing for a wild animal. Isn't it normal to have bumps and bruises in the wild? They are making a fuss about it, what a problem!" Professor Zhang replied.

But Daddy Liu didn't say anything. He just opened the door and walked straight towards the giant panda Zhuzi.

He squatted beside Zhuzi's head, and instead of immediately opening the bandage on the wound, he gently stroked Zhuzi's head and whispered something.

As he spoke, Grandpa Liu cried.

"Don't cry like a woman." Professor Zhang scolded, "Show it to Dr. Luo, so he can report to Elder Xia. He has so many surgeries every day, treating patients and saving lives, he's very busy."

When Luo Hao heard about the operation again, he probably figured out a lot of things.

"Let me do it." Luo Hao said softly.

But as soon as Luo Hao stretched out his hand, Liu Naiba's body blocked between Luo Hao and the bamboo.

He didn't say anything, but just gently opened the bandage.

It was a bloody mess, and the fur on Bamboo's back was torn. I don't know what kind of wild beast had torn it apart.

"Isn't the panda an iron-eating beast? It is said to be Chiyou's mount, so why does it look like it has weak fighting power? With this, it will surely be killed if it goes to the battlefield." Liu Yiyi asked in a low voice.

"Zhuzi was weak when he was born, and his mother abandoned him. I raised him with my own milk." Daddy Liu lowered his head, continued to open the sterile gauze bandage, and said with sobs.

"This kid looks strong, but he's actually a little troublemaker. He doesn't have any life skills. Leader, bamboo is really not good. It's really not suitable for survival in the wild."

"Who has the final say, you or I?" Professor Zhang was completely furious and no longer concealed his anger.

"Don't quarrel, don't quarrel." Luo Hao stopped the two of them, and then whispered in Professor Zhang's ear, "Teacher Zhang, Liu Daddy is a little emotional. People at this time are prone to do outrageous things. We won't do that."

This sentence woke up Professor Zhang, but Professor Zhang felt that he had lost face, and finally shouted coldly, "He dares!"

The voice was very low, and Grandpa Liu seemed not to hear it, and gently opened the gauze.

Some parts of the gauze had turned into blood scabs and stuck together. With a little force, Zhuzi let out a scream.

Daddy Liu turned his head to prevent his tears from falling on Zhuzi's wound.

"Release them back into the forest and breed with wild giant pandas. This is a must." Professor Zhang was obviously quick to accept the advice. Although he was still stubborn in the last second, he explained in the next second, "As the number of giant pandas in the breeding base increases, inbreeding has begun."

"This is extremely detrimental to the population size and quality of giant pandas."

"The bamboo is healthy and disease-free, originally..."

Luo Hao was too lazy to listen to these big truths. Seeing that Grandpa Liu couldn't bring himself to do it, he bent down and patted Grandpa Liu on the shoulder.

"I'm a doctor, let me do it."

"Although bamboo is seriously injured, it can also hurt people." The white-haired nanny reminded.

"It's okay. I'm the king of the North." Luo Hao told a joke and ignored Liu the Dad. Instead, he squatted beside Zhuzi and whispered a few words.

It was not human language, the voice was short and low. Everyone was stunned, but Daddy Liu's eyes suddenly lit up.

The bamboo was also stunned for a moment, and it tried hard to raise its arm despite being seriously injured.

Luo Hao held Zhuzi's hand, patted it, and said a few more words.

"I have communicated with Zhuzi, and he agreed to let me change the medicine." Luo Hao said, "Do you have a curved plate, iodine, and a scraper?"

"Scrape the spoon?"

"Chen Yong, you tell them." Luo Hao pushed Grandpa Liu aside. Grandpa Liu was still worried and squatted beside Luo Hao and watched.

There are disinfectants such as iodine and alcohol. Luo Hao took sterile tweezers and moistened the coagulated blood clot little by little. If the blood clot was severely adhered, he used scissors to cut open the sterile gauze.

The operation was smooth and the bamboo did not utter a single cry of pain.

After opening them all, Luo Hao sighed.

How to say it.

The injury is serious but not fatal and can be cured after a period of rest.

But that's not where the trouble lies.

"Professor Luo, what do you think?" Daddy Liu asked hurriedly when he saw Luo Hao didn't say anything.

"It's not a big problem."

"Dr. Luo, how long will it take to recover?" asked Professor Zhang.

"Initial improvement will be seen in one week, assuming there is no infection. Whether it will be fully recovered depends on the recovery of the bamboo." Luo Hao gave a definite time.

but!

The task is clearly laid out there, and the time limit is one year.

Luo Hao did not communicate with the people here, but comforted Zhuzi for two minutes, and then began to explore the wound.

If there is a little pus, just scrape it off with a spatula.

It’s okay if there is none for now. Luo Hao can loosen intestinal adhesions with his bare hands. This little thing is no problem for Luo Hao.

There was a fractured rib, but it was not serious and did not require surgery.

About half an hour later, Luo Hao made a judgment.

"The injury is not serious and does not require surgery." Luo Hao stood up and explained the situation. "Zhu Zi said that it was injured by a wild female panda."

"What? Being pushed back?" Chen Yong was stunned.

Luo Hao glanced at him, then at Liu Yiyi, turned around and pulled up White-haired Liu Nanba, "Bamboo's fighting ability is indeed not strong."

"It..." White-haired Grandma Liu hesitated and sighed.

"It's good that you're okay. Once you've recovered, we'll release you back to the mountains as soon as possible." Professor Zhang said, "Dr. Luo, you've come all the way here. Thank you for your hard work. Let's have a few drinks together tonight."

"You're welcome." Luo Hao remained calm, his smile growing brighter.

"Let's have a meal together. By the way, do you have severe altitude sickness? The altitude here is high, and many people feel uncomfortable right after getting off the plane." Professor Zhang asked kindly.

"I'm fine, but our two assistants are feeling unwell."

"Then let's drive directly down the mountain. It will only take 4 or 5 hours. Let's take a break and I'll treat everyone to a meal." Professor Zhang smiled and pulled Luo Hao's arm, and mentioned the meal again.

"No." Luo Hao calmly dodged Professor Zhang's hand.

“???” Professor Zhang’s expression froze.

"Teacher Zhang, please take our two assistants to rest. They are suffering from altitude sickness. I am here to talk to Zhuzi. The next few days are very critical. By the way, there is a laboratory for blood tests, right?"

"Yes, but the test indicators of pandas are different from those of humans." Professor Zhang's eyes flickered.

"Oh, don't worry, Mr. Zhang. I have completed three projects with Boss Xia." Luo Hao scratched his head, looking embarrassed. "I just missed home back then, otherwise I would have worked with Boss Xia."

Luo Hao's immaturity and ignorance were so obvious, and he said he "missed home" and that was why he didn't stay with Boss Xia. Professor Zhang's expression obviously eased a little.

"Teacher Zhang, please take the trouble to arrange for them."

"My altitude sickness has improved a lot. I don't need to go down the mountain. I can just rest here for a while." Chen Yong said, "Please go, Mr. Liu." "I'm fine too. They say the healthier you are, the more severe the altitude sickness will be. But it will take some time to adapt." Liu Yiyi replied stubbornly.

"Don't mess around, go have a meal." Luo Hao said in a deep voice, "By the way, bring me a bed and quilt, I'm staying here."

"Ah? What if the giant panda is infected?" Professor Zhang directly denied it.

"There are so many post-operative patients in the ICU, but I've never seen anyone get infected just because the doctor was there." Luo Hao's tone had begun to become stiff.

The unquestionable aura of the old experts and professors burst out.

The contrast between before and after was huge. Luo Hao, who had just been well-behaved, cute and immature, suddenly became tough.

This huge tearing feeling made Professor Zhang dazed for a moment.

But Luo Hao ignored this person. Instead, he sat on the ground and whispered something in Zhuzi's ear.

Zhuzi stretched out his hand, and Luo Hao gently patted its fat bear paw, then raised his head and said, "Dad Liu, you should go and have a rest too. I'm here."

Daddy Liu was stunned for a moment, and Chen Yong walked over and said, "Take a break, you two can still switch shifts."

This makes sense, and Dad Liu nodded.

"Teacher Zhang, thank you for taking them to rest." Luo Hao patted Zhuzi's head again, stood up, bowed slightly, politely and shyly, "I'll take a look and then I can explain to Boss Xia later."

Professor Zhang was stunned for a moment. Luo Hao's inconsistent attitude made him feel a little dazed.

Although the immature smile on Luo Hao's face was mostly hidden by the mask, his eyes were clear and full of student-like stupidity, so Professor Zhang was relieved.

Professor Zhang attributed the toughness just now to the young people's pity for the giant panda, which is a manifestation of ignorance.

"Don't worry, I'll take your assistant to get something to eat and arrange for them to stay." Professor Zhang said with a smile, "Hetaoping has been half abandoned after the earthquake. This is not close to where the bamboo was injured, so we'll stay here. The conditions are indeed limited, but don't worry, Dr. Luo."

"Sorry to bother you, Mr. Zhang." Luo Hao smiled shyly, "You are so considerate. There is a long line of patients waiting for surgery over there. If it weren't for Boss Xia calling to arrange it, I wouldn't have the time. Chen Yong!"

"Yeah." Chen Yong took a step forward.

"Take a good rest and don't worry about this. Keep in touch with Lao Meng and make sure nothing happens to the patients at home." Luo Hao arranged the work at home.

After hearing what Luo Hao said, Professor Zhang's expression became more relaxed.

"it is good."

After seeing everyone off the door, Luo Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The base was in turmoil, which was normal and predictable, but what Luo Hao couldn't understand was why Boss Xia threw him over.

After turning around and comforting Zhuzi for a while, Luo Hao asked Professor Zhang to stay and assist his people to help take a look, and then went out to smoke a cigarette.

"Be careful of fires in the mountains. Professor Luo, you must check carefully after smoking."

"Okay, don't worry. I'll hide in the corner and throw the ashes and cigarette butts into the purified water bottle. I won't cause any trouble for you."

Luo Hao went out and found a secluded place, turning the lighter he had received by scanning the code when he got off the plane in his hand.

After thinking for a long time, Luo Hao decided to call Boss Xia directly.

"Boss, I'm at Walnut Terrace." Luo Hao first reported Zhuzi's injury.

"The panda's external injuries were not serious, but I noticed that there were conflicts between Professor Zhang, the nanny, and the staff."

"What professor?" asked Boss Xia.

"Professor Zhang."

"What beast?"

"Professor Zhang!"

"What does Zhang teach?"

"..."

Luo Hao sighed.

"Boss, you got all the funding for wild pandas, but there has been no progress, and now it's almost time for the review, so you just randomly picked a panda and released it into the wild?"

Boss Xia on the other end of the phone no longer pretended to be confused and said "hmm" softly.

The voice was not loud, but Luo Hao could hear it clearly.

it is as expected.

paralysis!

Luo Hao cursed in his heart.

"Boss, what do you want me to do?"

"Ah? The Walnut Ping base has been abandoned. There is no need to move."

"Boss, if you keep pretending to be confused, I will go straight back to the provincial capital."

"Come back to the scale? Zhuzi is still injured. Let's talk about it after he heals." Boss Xia continued to interrupt vaguely.

"!!!"

Luo Hao lit the cigarette viciously and took a deep puff.

The boss is pretending to be ignorant. He must be hiding something.

What should I do myself?
"Boss, let me take a look at the situation first, think about what to do, and then report to you." Luo Hao said calmly.

"Well, heal the bamboo's wound first and think more about it. Don't be like an animal that doesn't understand anything you say." Boss Xia cursed lightly.

Got it!
Boss Xia regained his composure and started to scold himself.

Luo Hao reported his ideas, and then said, "Boss, I can't lack the things I need, blood sampling, tests, antibiotics, etc."

"Don't worry, you're not the one who can do without them. Even if they don't want to, they won't dare to interfere with these matters."

"Okay, let me think about it."

Luo Hao hung up the phone, took a deep puff of cigarette, and threw the cigarette butt into the bottle of purified water.

The air here is so good that Luo Hao feels like he is drunk on oxygen.

Boss Xia didn't tell the truth and scolded him. But because of this, the situation was clear.

Luo Hao thought about it and had an idea.

This matter must involve countless internal conflicts, and even Boss Xia’s qualifications and strength cannot suppress it.

What should I do?
Luo Hao was a little sad.

He hated these messes inside his body the most.

But where there are people, there are conflicts, interests, and disputes.

Boss Xia threw him here to hide away from the world, and Luo Hao felt like crying but had no tears.

He calmed down, looked at the blue sky, and heard the sound of birds singing, and his heart suddenly became calm.

Luo Hao thought for a moment, made up his mind, and turned back to Zhuzi's room.

"I'm back. You go and do your work. I'll take care of the bamboo." Luo Hao put on his mask and said with a smile.

"Professor Luo, did you learn the animal language from Mr. Xia?"

"Yes, and I have some talent, so I can communicate with them." Luo Hao sat down next to the bamboo and let the bamboo hug his legs pitifully.

When the bamboo is released into the forest, it does not gain freedom, but a fear of being abandoned. It seems to know its fate - if it is released into the forest again, it will die.

So Zhuzi hugged Luo Hao's legs as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Its age is roughly that of a human teenager, and its body is supposed to be in good health, but it has adapted to the environment of the base. Once it was released back into the mountains and "abandoned", it suffered great psychological trauma.

Luo Hao patted Zhuzi's hand gently, comforting it while chatting with the staff.

The steamed bread from the north is a common interest for everyone.

Luo Hao complained that the steamed bread from Beidong was not tasty, but the staff here didn't understand, because the steamed bread here was pretty good, at least Director Hua was still willing to eat it.

Especially when talking about Meng San, the staff carefully asked Meng Er and Meng San about learning to wipe their faces and tidy up their bedding.

There are not many pandas like Meng Er and Meng San who can tidy up their bamboo mats and beddings. It can only be said that they are born to love cleanliness and tidiness.

Speaking of this, Luo Hao thought of Jiang Wenming, who had mushrooms growing in his rice bowl at home.

It’s even worse than a panda!

"Professor Luo, you are really an expert in this field. Why don't you work with Mr. Xia?" The staff member said with some regret.

"Because I am also an expert in the medical industry."

"???"

"!!!"

The staff member had never seen anyone so pretentious before, and was stunned for a moment.

“Everything we do is to serve the people.”

"!!!"

The staff felt that they could no longer communicate with Professor Luo.

He was silent for a while, then suddenly stood up and looked out the window. Seeing no one, he lowered his voice and asked, "Professor Luo, do you think bamboo can be returned to the forest?"

"It's not possible now, but we have to go eventually. Professor Zhang is right about this. Otherwise, the pandas in the base will start inbreeding after a few generations, and we will be in big trouble." Luo Hao said with a smile.

The staff member was obviously disappointed and he sighed deeply.

"I feel like you guys don't want bamboo to grow wild."

"Zhuzi has had a miserable life since he was young. When he was born, it was clear that he would not survive. His mother thought so too, so she refused to feed him and simply abandoned him."

"Liu Bin held the bamboo and took good care of it every day, just like his own child. The bamboo also worked hard and survived. And Liu Bin is really good at raising pandas. Before, the bamboo was like a chick, which would die if the wind blew."

"It's only been three years, and Zhuzi has already become the strongest panda here."

Luo Hao nodded, "So, I chose him as the one to be released."

"Yes, but Zhuzi is with Liu Bin every day, so how can he know any survival skills in the wild?"

"The first time he was let go, Zhuzi was so hungry that he almost starved to death. When we found him, he was hugging Liu Bin's legs and crying... Alas."

The staff thought of that scene and sighed deeply.

Luo Hao just listened quietly.

"Liu Bin couldn't bear it and left some food for Zhuzi, but he was criticized by his leader when he came back."

"Later, we found that the bamboo was sick again. We picked out seven schistosomes from its feet and its nose was full of schistosomes."

"It really doesn't work... Professor Luo, can you..."

"If bamboo is not wild, there must be other wild pandas. How about releasing Huahua?"
