Chapter 1042 How Can You Bear It

Having already done it once last night, it would be less stressful for Lu Jingxing to do it again.

During the meeting, Lu Jingxing looked at Xiao Liu and said, "You can do the operation today, and I will guide you."

Xiao Liu's eyes lit up: "Can I do this?"

"With the master watching me, I have to do it even if I can't..." Situ Fang laughed.

If it were someone else, they might be a little unhappy. We are both apprentices, why should he do it and not me? But Situ Fang didn't have such thoughts. The master had his reasons for not letting him do it. Besides, there was indeed a gap between him and Brother Liu, and this operation was indeed risky.

Lu Jingxing smiled and nodded: "It's okay, I'm here..."

After hearing this, several people nodded secretly. As long as Lu Jingxing was there, they felt at ease.

So, after the preoperative preparation, the operation began.

With Lu Jingxing at his side, Xiao Liu performed the operation very smoothly.

Although the operation lasted more than two hours, no one felt tired at all.

Because Lu Jingxing did not do anything during the operation, he guided Xiao Liu in the operation and explained things at the same time. Everyone seemed eager to learn, so after the operation was over, everyone still felt a little reluctant to leave.

Lu Jingxing thought it was funny: "Okay, if there are bigger surgeries in the future, you guys can take turns slowly. I'm happy not to do it."

Everyone rubbed their hands together, eager to try: "That's great, it's not enough to just talk about it on paper and then put it into practice." Situ Fang also became excited.

After the operation, Xiaojiu went back directly.

Xiao Liu insisted on finishing the operation by himself. Lu Jingxing happened to receive a call, so they left the operating room together.

The girl who brought the kid here saw Lu Jingxing and the others coming out and ran over excitedly: "Doctor Lu, how is it, how is it?"

Lu Jingxing smiled and nodded: "The operation went quite smoothly. However, if you want it to walk right away, it will need some time to recover. It won't be that fast..." He pointed at his phone and said, "Wait a minute. When it wakes up from the anesthesia, our doctor will send it to the observation room. I have a phone number..."

"Okay, okay, go ahead and do your work..." The girl blinked her eyes, and I knew it was the right place to come.

The call was from Zhang Zhongde, who he hadn't contacted for nearly half a year. Lu Jingxing picked up the phone with a smile on his face: "Brother Zhongde, you're back?"

Last year, Zhang Zhongde became interested in cycling tours. He often traveled along the Sichuan-Tibet line with a group of fellow travelers. Sometimes he would post some photos in their group chat, but sometimes there would be no sound or images for ten days or half a month.

In the beginning, everyone sent him messages frequently out of concern, but he was like a kite that had been released into the air, and would not reply to messages for several days.
-
My information is not good. I have arrived at xxx. I will enter Tibet tomorrow and will be out for about half a month...

After doing this a few times, the guys no longer took the initiative to look for him, but just waited for him to look for them.

This time I haven't seen anyone for almost half a year.

The main reason is that Lu Jingxing has also become accustomed to his daily routine.

Then I was busy every day and wanted to ask him, but then I forgot about it.

Anyway, it won’t be long before he makes some noise in the group again, and everyone will feel relieved knowing that he is safe.

"I'm on my way back to Long'an. I just rescued a puppy and will bring it to the store later. Are you in the store?" Zhang Zhongde asked without any greeting.

"Well, I'm here. You can come over. I will tell you when you can arrive. I won't arrange anything else." Lu Jingxing replied.

"Around one o'clock. There's something wrong with this dog. I'll bring it back for you to see..." Zhang Zhongde was a little anxious.

"it is good……"

After saying that, the two hung up the phone.

It's almost twelve o'clock now. If it's around one o'clock, he will have to hurry on his way and probably hasn't eaten yet. Lu Jingxing thought about getting up and going to the cafeteria directly. From what he said, he probably won't have time to go out to eat with him later. So he would go to the cafeteria to eat first and then ask Aunt Xie and the others to cook two dishes. When Zhang Zhongde comes later, he can just go to the cafeteria to eat.

Aunt Xie naturally agreed without hesitation: "No problem, just send me a message and I'll cook some side dishes. If it's inconvenient for him to come, I'll deliver them to the store for him."

Lu Jingxing smiled and nodded.

It was quite wise of him to set up this small canteen. Now that the canteen has been moved to the dormitory building, it is more convenient than the original rented house.

Aunt Xie and Aunt Yu are also very diligent and hygienic. They have been doing this for so long and no one has ever expressed dissatisfaction.

After finishing his meal, he returned to the store and since there was still some time, he took a nap.

Zhang Zhongde ran in, exhausted, holding a Border Collie in his hand.

Ding Fang had never seen Zhang Zhongde before, so she quickly went to greet him: "Hello..."

"Well, I have an appointment with your Doctor Lu..." Zhang Zhongde didn't bother with the girl and went straight to Lu Jingxing's office.

Ding Fang hurriedly ran to the front, and before she could knock on the door, Lu Jingxing opened it from the inside: "Brother Zhong De, you are here, come in quickly, Ding Fang, go to the canteen and talk to Aunt Xie, and ask her to prepare the food and bring it over."

Ding Fang agreed and walked out.

Lu Jingxing took out a disposable towel to wash Zhang Zhongde's face, and then poured him a cup of tea.

The Border Collie squatted on the ground obediently, emitting a foul smell.

Zhang Zhongde didn't bother to be polite with him. He was covered in dirt and really needed to wash.

He stroked his face with the towel and kept talking, "I passed by the cloth market this morning and ate noodles in a noodle restaurant. A little girl sat next to me and chatted with her classmates. She said that another friend of hers had a pitiful dog with a broken neck, but her friend's family didn't care and kept the dog locked up. She felt it was too pitiful and started crying. She said that if they didn't care anymore, the dog wouldn't live for more than a few days.

The two little girls discussed and decided whether it would be any use calling the police. They were also afraid that the police would not help, and they were also afraid that their friends would blame them.

The two of them were crying bitterly.

When I heard this, I felt that I couldn't just ignore it. I had to at least go and take a look. I didn't know what was going on, so I asked the two girls.

When the two girls heard that I was from the rescue team, they paid for my breakfast as if they had met a savior and took me to her friend's house.

Wow, I saw it as soon as I walked in.

Look at its neck, it was strangled by the wire and was only two fingers away from breaking. There were cigarette butt marks all over its feet, and there were obvious scratches from a sharp weapon on its hind legs.

It was tied to the radiator at the door with a wire. The wire was not long, and the dog food was placed on the ground. When it wanted to eat the dog food or rest, the wire would eat its flesh. Day after day, its neck was like this. "

Situ Fang walked in: "Oh my god, why is it so smelly? It's the smell of rotten meat."

"It came from it. I didn't dare to touch the ring casually. The main reason was that I didn't bring any tools. The wire was so thick that I couldn't break it." Zhang Zhongde took a sip of tea. "How could this person be so cruel? If he doesn't want to keep it, he can give it away. This is a Border Collie. It's not like no one wants it." Lu Jingxing squatted down to take a look at the little guy's condition, frowning.

"You don't know, its owner is a little girl, only in her twenties, she rented the house, the house was in a mess, there was no place to step, she had no guilt towards the little guy, I asked her why she treated it like this...

She said that because the little guy was destroying the house, she threw it to the countryside. Then the little guy liked to run, so her family tied it up with this wire. Later, her family came to her workplace and returned it to her, and she has kept it tied up ever since.

According to the girl who took me there, she had given the little guy food several times, but she was also limited in her ability to adopt it. In addition, the little guy's owner said that he bought it with his own money and would not give it to anyone else, so it has remained like this ever since.

Zhang Zhongde briefly described the process: "Lu, do you think there is any way to fix this neck?"

"You must have spent money to rescue it, right?" Lu Jingxing asked instead of answering.

Zhang Zhongde rubbed his head innocently: "What can I do? I spent two thousand yuan, and the girl took out the receipt and said she spent two thousand and eighteen to buy it. I can take it away, but it must be at least two thousand and eighteen. Otherwise, I can just leave it like this. It won't starve to death anyway."

"It would be better to starve it to death. At least it won't suffer physical pain." Situ Fang was somewhat indignant.

"That's right, I said the same thing. In the end, they bargained for two thousand before letting me take him away." Zhang Zhongde was originally a member of their rescue team, so he would definitely do his part when faced with such a situation.

"Let it go. Take it to the bathroom, wash it a little, and fix the rope around its neck." Lu Jingxing stood up.

"Okay, come on, good dog, come on, follow me..." Situ Fang picked up the wire. He didn't dare to use force, for fear that he would break the little guy's neck if he used too much force.

The little guy was very obedient. He stood up immediately and followed Situ Fang.

When the warm water began to soak its hair, a large amount of brown liquid quickly flowed out on the ground, and the little guy didn't care and immediately drank it in big gulps.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't drink it. Come on, pour it some water." Situ Fang said loudly.

The bathroom staff immediately brought a bowl of clean water and placed it in front of the little guy, who immediately began to drink it in big gulps.

Lu Jingxing went to the bathroom during Zhang Zhongde's meal time.

Situ Fang found tools and cut the wire.

It took a lot of effort to cut the wire. He thought it was just a circle of wire, but he didn't expect there was a circle of rope inside the flesh, which had already sunk into the flesh. Lu Jingxing was so angry that he didn't want to talk.

"MD, to get closer, I have to deliver this thing to that owner. How can he bear it?" Situ Fang shook the iron wire and rope embedded with flesh and blood in his hands, feeling extremely angry.

The bathroom staff came over to help with the cleaning.

Situ Fang took over Lu Jingxing's position: "Let me do it..."

Lu Jingxing gave up his seat.

The little guy showed no emotion when facing so many strangers approaching him. His eyes were droopy, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"Master, look, there is a hole here." Situ Fang, who was helping to clean, suddenly shouted.

I saw that the little guy had a bottle cap-sized wound on his hind leg, which was covered by the fur and could not be seen. Now when the fur was lifted, the shocking red flesh was seen outside.

Lu Jingxing shook his head: "Wash it first, blow dry it, and then shave it all. There must be more than one place."

The little guy's fatal injury is on his neck, but these injuries may be minor injuries to him now.

Zhang Zhongde came in with a bowl in his hand: "Is there any danger to his life?"

"If you wait ten days or half a month, you probably would have it. It's in good spirits now, and it should be fine if you treat it properly." Lu Jingxing said.

"That's good. I really didn't dare to take the ring off it, for fear of damaging its aorta." Zhang Zhongde secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "I'll talk to the little girl. She has been asking if she can be saved."

After saying that, he walked out.

Lu Jingxing also followed him out.

After washing and blow-drying, Lu Jingxing was still worried and helped to shave the little guy himself.

Because the wound on the hind leg was surrounded by rotten flesh, I had to shave the hair on the edge first, and then use scissors to cut off the dead skin: "It looks like it was cut with a knife..."

"How could this man be so cruel? That girl looks so gentle and kind, hiss..." Zhang Zhongde was shivering, he really should not be underestimated.

Lu Jingxing didn't know how to respond to him.

After finishing the body, the most important thing is to shave the hair on the neck.

Lu Jingxing, Situ Fang and a beautician took almost half an hour to cut off a small part.

The clippers would become covered in goo each time, and each stroke would cause old injuries to become more obvious.

The little guy seemed to know that these people were there to save him, so he didn't say a word or struggle, and just let them do what they wanted.

After an hour, the little guy finally looked brand new.

Looking at the wounds on the little guy's neck and body on the operating table, several people were speechless for a long time.

This is totally not treating the little guy as a living species.

The little guy broke free from the crowd, jumped off the table, and shook his body vigorously. It had been a long time since he felt this relaxed. He even couldn't believe that the rope around his neck was finally untied.

There were tears in his eyes as he looked at everyone.

Lu Jingxing couldn't help but touch its head: "Get ready for surgery, let's weigh it."

After finishing his instructions, Lu Jingxing returned to the office, and Zhang Zhongde also stood up: "Then I'm leaving. Call me if you have anything. I'm in Long'an this week, and I'll be out again next week."

Lu Jingxing patted his shoulder and said, "I've transferred the money to you. Be careful."

"What money are you transferring..." Zhang Zhongde said loudly.

"Of course. The money will be paid from the fund. We won't let you pay for it. Just be careful. When will you be back this time?" Lu Jingxing asked.

"I don't know for now. A group of my old friends found a new place and asked me to go with them. I agreed and I'll call you then." Zhang Zhongde said as he walked out.

Lu Jingxing walked him all the way to the car before returning.

Each of them has a different lifestyle. He himself likes to stay at home and has never had an experience like Zhang Zhongde. However, everyone has their own way of liking things, which is inherently different. He doesn't envy them, as long as everyone is safe.
