start with a pet store

Chapter 982: Blessings are not disasters, but disasters cannot be avoided

"Is this okay? We just bought this car not long ago, the seats will be damaged." Yang Pei was reluctant to put the seats in and just wanted to try to squeeze the cage in.

"It's okay. There are two mats here. Just put them underneath." Lu Jingxing took out two new mats from the cargo box and placed them on the seat.

"Is this okay? If it goes wrong, it would be a huge loss." Xi Wenxin also felt that this method was not advisable.

"It's okay. There's no other way. It's only a few hours. There's something padding underneath. How bad can it get damaged?" Lu Jingxing said as he picked up the cage.

By now Hei Bai had finished eating. He wasn't particularly full, but he wasn't crying with hunger either.

Lu Jingxing twisted it out and put it in the small cage, and it immediately lay down obediently.

It wagged its tail from time to time, and its big black and white eyes rolled around.

"Okay, from now on, just stay here nicely..." Lu Jingxing said to the little guy as he put the cage on the seat.

"Woof..." It was about to respond loudly.

"Shh..." Lu Jingxing immediately pressed it down. Although the little guy looked small, his voice was very loud. He separated the cats on purpose, because if they were to be called by it, things would be in chaos again.

"Hmm, hmm, hmm..." Hei Bai laid down again, motionless, and forced the scream to be stuck in his throat, turning it into a soft hum, and no longer making any louder sounds.

"So good..." Lu Jingxing reached a finger through the cage and touched its paw.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Yang Pei and Xi Wenxin naturally stopped talking. Together they lifted the Samoyed mother and child into the car.

After they are stable, lift the Labrador up as well.

"Okay, go wash your hands in the store first and let the boss lady prepare the food. I'll drive the car to the front." Seeing that everyone was in the car, Lu Jingxing closed the door and said to the two people with dirty hands.

The two nodded and walked towards the restaurant together.

Lu Jingxing leaned half of his body in from the other side and communicated with the terrified cats in telepathy: "Don't be afraid, my dears. These dogs won't hurt you. They are as pitiful as you are. Let's go home together..."

"Meow meow... Won't they bite us?" There was a cat that was considered to be relatively brave. It didn't bother at all why Lu Jingxing would communicate with them. It climbed up the cage and stood up. Its round eyes looked at Lu Jingxing, then glanced at the black and white in the cage on the seat.

"Don't worry, that won't happen. First of all, they are also locked in cages. Second, they are injured just like you. Besides, we are here to help you. We won't ignore them. Black and white, no vicious cats..." Lu Jingxing patted the cage gently.

"Oh, oh, oh..." Hei Bai hummed softly twice, feeling a little aggrieved. His little tail kept wagging, and he looked very honest.

"Meow meow...sisters, don't be afraid, they won't bite us. It's also locked up and can't bite us..." The cat turned around and said to the cats that were also locked in cages.

Several other cats finally looked up at Black and White with curiosity. They had been locked up in the store for more than a month and had never seen any other creatures. They were still a little curious about Black and White. Moreover, Lu Jingxing said that it could not hurt them, so the slightest fear disappeared.

Black and white crawled and moved his body gently, trying not to make any noise. He turned his head and grinned, looking at the cats behind him who were looking at him with a silly smile.

Lu Jingxing felt particularly relieved when watching this scene. It seemed that these little guys could live in harmony.

"Okay, I'll park the car in front. After I eat, I'll set off again. Everyone, be quiet..." Lu Jingxing didn't treat them as animals, but rather as if he was talking to a group of children.

The little ones were also very cooperative. When they heard him say that he was going to drive, they immediately squatted down quietly.

Lu Jingxing returned to the driver's seat and drove the car to the parking space.

Then I took out a bag of dried meat from the co-pilot seat and gave each little guy one piece. It can be used to grind their teeth and is also delicious. It is also nice to let them stay quietly for a while.

After everything was arranged, he closed the car door and walked towards the restaurant.

The dishes were already on the table. Xi Wenxin came in from the bathroom and happened to meet Lu Jingxing entering the room: "I have a face towel here, go in and wash your face..." He handed the portable towel he was carrying to Lu Jingxing.

Lu Jingxing looked at it and smiled: "Why are you so sissy and bringing this thing with you?"

"You are the old-fashioned one. This thing is so convenient. You will know it after you use it." Xi Wenxin patted him on the back and said with a smile.

It’s no wonder that Lu Jingxing didn’t know. He never travels far and never goes on a trip, so he has never bought this thing. Looking at the small bag in his hand, he was still wondering, what’s the use of it? Can it be used to wash your face?

Well, he was immediately slapped in the face. This thing is really not small. After it came into contact with water, it became as big as a face towel. What's going on? It's really that Lu Jingxing is ignorant.

After he came out, he stopped talking about this matter, for fear that those two guys would laugh at him again.

After eating and drinking, the three of them continued on their journey.

As soon as I got on the car, I saw that Hei Bai had turned around. His head was originally facing the door, but now it has turned to the middle.

I don’t know how the cats behind it communicate with it, but they all want to tease it.

It also wagged its tail and played with them one by one.

When it heard the door open, it immediately lay down obediently, grinning and sticking out its tongue, ready to greet the people.

"Brother Lu, let me drive for a while." Yang Pei said as he was about to get in the car.

Lu Jingxing looked ahead and said, "Let me drive this section. We'll switch lanes once we get on the highway..."

Not knowing how long it would take to get to the national highway, Lu Jingxing still felt a little worried.

"Okay, then I'll drive after we get on the highway." Yang Pei said with a smile.

Xi Wenxin had already sat in the second row. When he got on the bus, he saw the smiling face of Hei Bai. He laughed: "Damn, this guy can also laugh. Look."

Lu Jingxing and Yang Pei fastened their seat belts and turned around at the same time. Sure enough, the black and white guy was smiling at them both.

"It's impossible to help them find their owner, so they can only go back with us." Lu Jingxing smiled, reached out and touched Hei Bai, then started the car.

"We still don't know whether it was lost by the owner or it got lost. Anyway, if it got lost it means the owner was irresponsible. So it's not necessarily a bad thing if we can't find it. If it comes to our place, we can find it a new owner if possible. If we can't find it, it's not a bad thing to keep it in our yard. Dahuang doesn't want to leave again, which means we are capable of doing that." Yang Pei said bitterly.

"I think so too. In general, in this situation, people either take their dogs for a walk without a leash, or let them roam freely. If they follow the dog every day, there is no way it would get lost. Look at our Hongmei, there is no way she would get lost." Xi Wenxin also nodded in agreement.

"That's what you say, but there are always times when you can't see them. It doesn't take too long for them to catch dogs. They might succeed when you're not paying attention..." Lu Jingxing said.

A few of them chatted like this, and then followed the traffic onto the highway.

At the service area, Lu Jingxing swapped seats with Yang Pei. He got out of the car and stretched, "Oh, this time is really long. It might be better at other times, but today there are so many cars and the national highway is congested. It's really fucking tiring."

Several people got out of the car and went to the toilet. Xi Wenxin came out first: "What kind of car accident must have happened to divert the traffic..."

"I just heard from someone who came out that it seemed like an oil tanker truck exploded, but I don't know the details..." Lu Jingxing sighed.

"Oh, that's terrible..." Xi Wenxin tiptoed to look back.

"That's right..." Lu Jingxing shook his head. This was the bad thing about driving. He actually hated driving on the highway the most, but there was nothing he could do.

Be more alert later.

Yang Pei trotted over and said, "Let's go, get in the car. It'll take another four or five hours. I'm afraid we won't arrive until after eleven..."

Lu Jingxing nodded, and the three of them opened the car door and prepared to get in.

"Lu, why don't you take a nap..." Xi Wenxin thought that Lu Jingxing might need to undergo surgery when he returned, so he said, "I'll watch over him for a while. If I watch, Yang won't fall asleep either."

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Okay, there may be surgery later..." As he spoke, he walked to the back, and Xi Wenxin quickly moved to the co-pilot seat.

"By the way, Xiangyu just called me and said that the car accident we just had was an oil tanker accident. He knew that we had to take this road and it was the only way to go. He was scared to death." Yang Pei said as soon as she got in the car.

"Fortunately, we were lucky. If we had been faster, we might have really encountered it." Xi Wenxin felt scared when he thought about it.

"It's a blessing in disguise, but disaster is unavoidable. I hope there are no casualties..." Lu Jingxing muttered silently.

"I'm not sure about the details, but I hope so. By the way, Xiangyu changed his shift when he heard us say we would arrive around 11 o'clock tonight, so he is waiting for us in the store..." Yang Pei looked ahead more intently.

All three of them got in the car, fastened their seat belts, and continued on their journey.

Lu Jingxing was still chatting with them at first, but after a quarter of an hour, he leaned back and slowly dozed off.

He got up too early in the morning and didn't take a nap at noon, so he was really sleepy.

Yang Pei was in good spirits. In order to keep him from falling asleep, Xi Wenxin chatted with him all the way. The two of them told jokes from time to time, and they really didn't fall asleep at all.

Lu Jingxing slept for almost two hours before waking up. After waking up, he looked ahead in confusion: "Hmm, where are we..."

"It's still early. We'll be there in about two hours. You can still sleep for a while." Yang Pei said with a smile.

Lu Jingxing shook his head: "No, I can't sleep. Do you want me to open it?"

"It's okay. At this speed, I'm not in a hurry anyway. Besides, I'm not sleepy at all after chatting with Lao Xi. You should continue to rest. Xiangyu told me that there is another operation waiting for you tomorrow." Yang Pei said.

"Huh? What surgery? I haven't heard of it..." Lu Jingxing climbed onto the seat in front of him and sat up straight.

"I just received the call, for a half-grown dog with a tumor in its trachea. The owner went to many places and finally came to you because of your reputation. However, they found the second store. Xiangyu happened to be on duty and took a look at the situation. It was indeed quite serious. He didn't say anything else about the situation. He just called and asked me if I could take the call. I thought, we might not be able to do it, but you definitely could. Besides, the dog came from so far away because of your reputation, so he had to have you take a look at it. So I asked him to take it..." Yang Pei said easily.

"Tracheal tumor? It looks quite serious. Okay, I haven't performed such a difficult operation for a long time, so it's good to take a look." Lu Jingxing nodded.

"I knew you would answer. By the way, will Labrador go back for surgery tonight?" Yang Pei asked.

"It depends on the situation. It also depends on whether it can be done today. If it can, of course the sooner the better, and it will be less painful for it." Lu Jingxing turned around and wanted to check on the two dogs, only to remember that they had separated the two dogs with a partition behind them and could not be seen at all.

When he turned around, he saw several cats in the cages above.

They all raised their heads and looked at him.

Lu Jingxing smiled: "Keep sleeping, we'll be there soon."

The little ones lowered their heads in unison again.

The last two hours passed quickly and before I knew it I arrived at the store.

When Liao Xiangyu heard the car sound, he ran out immediately: "I guessed you were almost there..." As soon as the car stopped, he came over.

"Haha, we arrived almost half an hour earlier than expected. The rest of the journey was so smooth, we didn't encounter any red lights." Yang Pei was the first to come out of the cab, pounding his back and twisting his waist.

"This is not good. You look like this in just a few hours. It's obvious that you lack exercise..." Liao Xiangyu smiled and patted him, then opened the trunk.

"Come, give me a hand." Xiangyu said to another employee on duty standing at the door.

The young man immediately ran over: "Brother Lu, Brother Yang..."

Lu Jingxing and Yang Pei smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's okay..." The young man smiled and ran to the back, and together with Liao Xiangyu, he lifted the two cages down.

"Are there just two dogs? Didn't they say there was a cat?" Liao Xiangyu asked.

Xi Wenxin first took off the black and white, then ran to the back: "Here..."

Yang Pei had also rested enough, and hurried to open the partition: "How can there be no cat when I went to pick it up? It's here."

Liao Xiangyu looked over in confusion: "Oh, I was wondering why the trunk is so small. It turns out to be another cave. This is great, it's not affected at all."

Several people carried the cat cage down together.

After they were taken in separately, Liao Xiangyu called them, "Leave it there for now, let Jingyang clean it up, you guys eat something first... Jingyang and I have already eaten, this is specially bought for you."

The few of them were indeed a little hungry, so they didn't hesitate to be polite. After putting the little guys in the hall, they followed Liao Xiangyu to the office.

There were several bowls of steaming noodles on the desk: "I just had the store deliver it. I estimated the time, and it's still hot..." Liao Xiangyu got chopsticks for several people, poured a glass of water for each of them, then stood in front of the desk, leaning against the table.

Yang Pei sat down and started to talk: "This noodle tastes authentic, Lao Xi, try it, it's not on the same level as yours."

Xi Wenxin smiled: "Anyway, everything you say is good..."
