start with a pet store

Chapter 1015: Boil the Eagle
The master seemed to realize that the matter was somewhat serious. He rubbed the corner of his clothes awkwardly and followed Lu Jingxing.

Lu Jingxing glanced at him and said helplessly: "Did you forget about it and didn't feed it?" Otherwise, Lu Jingxing couldn't think of any other reason. After all, it was just a little parrot that was only two or three months old.

The master whispered, "No, I did it on purpose."

"Ah? On purpose? Why?" Ji Ling asked in confusion.

She helped Lu Jingxing put the little guy under the X-ray machine. The little guy looked like he might fall down at any moment, so he hung his head and let them fiddle with him.

"You want to tame it, so you believe the starvation method on the Internet?" Lu Jingxing sneered.

The host coughed twice, which was considered as his consent.

"I didn't learn it online. The shop owner who sold the parrot told us. He said I could start training about a month after I bought it. If it doesn't obey, then withhold food until it obeys," the owner whispered.

"That's ridiculous. It's almost the same age as a baby of a few months old. Think about it, what can you train a baby of a few months old? Besides, a baby has nothing to eat and may cry when it is hungry. What can it do? It will just cry a few times at most. It must have cried at the beginning, but you ignored it and it slowly gave up..." Lu Jingxing said as he took a picture of the little guy.

Even when talking with his master, Lu Jingxing never stopped working for a moment.

Situ Fang walked in quickly: "Master, I'm done over there, and Brother Guo and the others are getting ready to go off work, is there anything I can help with?"

Lu Jingxing said without even looking up: "Go and help prepare some hydrating liquid for the parrot. We need to push it in right away."

"Okay..." Situ Fang ordered and went to prepare the medicine immediately.

After Lu Jingxing finished filming, he also took the needle.

The result was just as Lu Jingxing expected. The little guy was severely dehydrated and didn't eat anything.

Fortunately, the owner still had some consciousness and brought the little guy to the store. If it had been a little later, I'm afraid even God would not have been able to save it.

Several people came to the treatment room together and urgently inserted an intraosseous needle on the spot. Everything was done against the clock.

After confirming the position of the needle, the little guy was given fluids urgently.

"It's been hungry since last night. It's been hungry for twenty-four hours?" Situ Fang asked his owner in disbelief.

The master nodded awkwardly again: "I will never do this again."

"What are you thinking? If you hadn't sent her here, I would have suspected that you were abusing her." Situ Fang said with a frown.

Then he asked Lu Jingxing: "Master, how did you know it was seriously lacking water?"

Lu Jingxing finally had time to glance at him, and then said: "Look at its eyes..." He pulled the little guy's eyelids again: "The most direct way to judge whether a bird is seriously dehydrated is to pull up its upper eyelids and see how fast it bounces back. A normal bird will come down quickly, but it's very, very slow, and basically doesn't come down. Also, its two feet are very cold and it can't stand. These can basically confirm that it has these problems."

"It seems like it wants to bite people now..." the owner suddenly said excitedly.

"If you want to bite people, there's still hope..." Lu Jingxing carefully wrapped up the little guy's indwelling needle and simply fixed it, fearing that the little guy would peck the needle off in turn.

"Hey, it seems to be much more energetic in just a short while." Ji Ling half-knelt and looked at the little guy carefully, then turned around and said with a smile.

Lu Jingxing's face was also much more relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Because I gave it a needle to improve its perfusion, and gave it some vitamins..."

"Do we still need to feed it?" Ji Ling asked.

"Wait, wait for it to recover first, then give it food..." Lu Jingxing nodded, "Give it one milliliter of fluid first, and then give it another milliliter of fluid after an hour. Given its weight, we can only give it slowly. If we give it too quickly, it will do harm."

"It will definitely have to be hospitalized tonight. Do you want to wait here first, or go back and pick it up tomorrow?" Situ Fang asked his owner.

The owner looked at his bird and said, "Is it going to die?"

Lu Jingxing smiled slightly: "It shouldn't be, but it will take some time for it to fully recover. I will send it to the ICU now. Ah Fang, please order an oxygen chamber. The oxygen concentration and temperature in the chamber will be very high to ensure the little guy's body temperature..."

Situ Fang had already gone to the ICU when Lu Jingxing was talking, and soon came back: "Master, I'm ready."

After Lu Jingxing fixed the little guy, they went to the ICU together and put the little guy into the hyperbaric oxygen chamber.

"We have to maintain its body temperature. Once it recovers a little, we'll prepare to feed it." After entering the oxygen chamber, Lu Jingxing reached his hands through the two transparent holes in the front of the oxygen chamber to settle the little guy. Because the little guy was so comfortable, he stretched his head forward and almost bit Lu Jingxing.

"It's okay. If it can bite people, it means there is hope. If it doesn't even have the strength to bite me, it means it may have no chance. It's a little smaller than before when it could barely stand, and it's a little more energetic..." Lu Jingxing muttered to himself.

"Oh, I won't train it again, really." The owner seemed to feel really scared and regretful at this moment.

"Do you want to train a hawk? You actually want to train such a small bird?" The one who reacted the most this time was Situ Fang.

The master once again scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I won't do it again."

Lu Jingxing finally stopped what he was doing: "It seems like this is your first time raising a parrot, right?"

The master nodded.

"I can tell at first glance that you're a newbie. I heard that there are people who train such small birds. Generally, those who train hawks would at least wait until the little ones can fly before starting. How big is it? Can you train a baby to be obedient? Will it understand?" Situ Fang retorted.

Lu Jingxing glared at him. Although what he said was right, some things should not be said too directly. Moreover, it seemed that this person really didn't understand. Situ Fang was right, but as a shop owner, this tone was wrong.

"You must be careful next time. Don't let it starve. Secondly, you must keep it warm. The normal body temperature of a bird is around 42 degrees Celsius..." Lu Jingxing explained slowly to his owner.

"When I bought it, the store owner said it was okay..." said the owner.

"Don't listen to him, listen to me..." Lu Jingxing interrupted the owner: "If you really want to take good care of it and want to understand parrots, I will recommend you some professional books later. I suggest you learn what normal parrots need to eat, how much energy they need to consume every day, and what temperature you need to pay attention to. Look at this weather, you should all turn on the air conditioner at home, which may not be very suitable for it..." The owner nodded repeatedly: "I was badly hurt by that store."

"That's definitely what the store owner said. Anyway, if it dies, you won't bother it. After all, the little guy is in your hands, so they can't be responsible. What's more, if you just want to play with it and this one dies, you might buy another one from him. This might be a way for them to make money." Situ Fang murmured.

"Well, that seems to be the case, but I read their reviews and it seems that they are all pretty good, with not many negative reviews, so I..." the owner said softly.

"How can this thing be judged solely on the reviews? Good reviews can be bought, and bad reviews can be deleted with money. It just depends on what kind of reviews they want you to see." Situ Fang had a lot of ideas when talking about this.

Lu Jingxing really found a book about raising parrots and handed it to the owner: "After we feed it once, you can go back and pick it up tomorrow."

The owner took it with both hands and kept thanking: "Thank you, thank you, I will definitely take a good look at it when I get back..."

Lu Jingxing smiled: "You're welcome, this is our duty. Besides, this book has to be paid for."

"Of course I will pay now..." The owner hugged the book to his chest and followed Ji Ling to the front desk to pay.

At this time, except for Xi Wenxin in the backyard, all the other employees in the store have gone off work.

Apart from the occasional cat meows and the occasional beeping of machines, the whole store was a little too quiet.

"You should go back and have a rest too. You've been busy all day..." Lu Jingxing said to Situ Fang.

"It's okay, I'm not tired. I'll go back with you later." Situ Fang replied.

"It's okay. We just need to feed the little guy once. There's nothing else to do. There's no need to stay here all the time. We'll be busy tomorrow." Lu Jingxing said stubbornly.

"Oh, okay then. I'll go back first..." Situ Fang and Fang Guo are temporarily living with Pan Erdong in Xi Wenxin's rented house. Due to time constraints, Fang Guo has not had time to rent a house. Besides, Xi Wenxin's house is close to the store and more convenient. There is enough space for several men.

After Situ let him go, Xi Wenxin walked in again: "How long will this take?"

Lu Jingxing was looking at the information in his hand and raised his head: "It's almost time. You may have to pay attention to this little guy at night. I will feed it once before leaving. You can feed it once every hour or so at night. It will be fine if you feed it a few times."

"Okay, how about you and Ji Ling go back to the hotel first. I can handle it here..." Xi Wenxin glanced at Ji Ling who was busy at the cash register and said to Lu Jingxing.

"Okay, I'll feed you once and leave. It will be fine soon..."

There have been too many things to do in the store during the day these past two days, and the night shift has not been scheduled yet. In addition, several surgeries were performed today, and some little ones are hospitalized. So Xi Wenxin will be guarding the store tonight. Now we dare not let only store employees be on duty without medical care, mainly because we are afraid that if there is a problem, the employees without medical skills will not be able to see it, which will be troublesome.

No matter what business you do, the first three months are actually the most important. If you ruin your reputation in the first three months, it will be difficult to build up your business again.

So, they will not allow such mistakes to happen.

Lu Jingxing finished his work and came to the ICU room again. Seeing that the little guy had recovered a lot, he force-fed him some emergency milk powder and said to the owner standing beside him, "It's okay. You can go back and see it tomorrow morning. Did you add the green bubbles from our store? We will contact you urgently if there is any situation. We will also send you the records of feeding."

The owner nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, it's too much trouble for you."

He saw that the little guy's eyes were much more energetic than before, and his little head could move left and right, so he felt relieved.

Xi Wenxin sent him out, then turned back and said, "Really? You guys should go back too. It's almost ten o'clock, and we have to get up early tomorrow."

Lu Jingxing glanced at Ji Ling and said, "Let's go, let's go back..."

……

When the little parrot was seen again the next day, it was full of life.

Although Lu Jingxing has saved so many small animals, the sense of satisfaction he feels every time he saves a dying animal is particularly strong, and every time he feels like he has finally found the meaning of life.

Time flies. We are so busy every day and soon we have been open for a week.

Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling have been in Hong Kong for two weeks.

Although Yang Pei was in charge in Long'an, there were still many patients with difficult and complicated diseases waiting for Lu Jingxing to go back for consultation and treatment.

Although Xi Wenxin was reluctant to see Lu Jingxing go back like this, he also knew that he couldn't stay here forever. His focus had to be in Long'an, which was the starting point of his career and also where his focus was.

He would read through all the medical records of the past few days every night. After summarizing them, he found that with Fang Guo around, it seemed that the two of them could handle these illnesses. He was just a little too dependent on Lu Jingxing.

Lu Jingxing patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry. I've paid attention to Fang Guo these days. His medical skills are very good, even comparable to Yang Pei's. He has no problem diagnosing common diseases. Even some difficult ones can be figured out as long as he is given some time. Besides, if you really encounter a particularly troublesome case, you can call me at any time. If you are in a hurry, we can communicate online. If you are not in such a hurry, I can fly over."

Lu Jingxing already had a plan for this issue, and he and Xi Wenxin had discussed it a long time ago, but he was also aware of Xi Wenxin's concerns, and saying it again would only make him feel more at ease.

"I know..." Xi Wenxin said with a smile.

"Then your smile is uglier than your crying, it's really ugly..." Lu Jingxing teased with a smile.

Only then did Xi Wenxin really smile knowingly.

After settling down here, Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling flew back to Long'an that afternoon.

As soon as the two arrived at the office, Ding Fang finished reporting on everything that had happened in the store in the past few days. Xiao Liu was still in surgery, and Xiao Jiu came in again and reported the next surgery to Lu Jingxing.

Then, after learning that Lu Jingxing had returned, the two managers from the theme park also ran over. After just one report, Lu Jingxing stayed in the office all afternoon.
