start with a pet store

Chapter 984 Rebirth
Lu Jingxing nodded: "Okay, if you decide, we will prepare for surgery as soon as possible. We need to make preoperative arrangements and its physical strength needs to keep up. We will schedule it for the first surgery tomorrow morning."

In fact, the truth is, although he is confident, the little guy is so old after all. To be on the safe side, he wants to go to the APP tonight to learn from others to be absolutely sure.

The owner naturally agreed to his plan because this was the last chance for her baby.

After the discussion, Lu Jingxing arranged for the little guy to have his blood drawn and then given a nutritional injection. The surgery was scheduled as the first one tomorrow.

After finishing all this, he took Xi Wenxin on a store inspection: "Every day when you come to the store, you must inspect the entire store. If there are any problems, try to solve them on the spot..."

Although Xi Wenxin is the head of a company department, his work has nothing to do with their pet shop work and is naturally completely different.

He even made a small notebook and wrote down everything Lu Jingxing said.

Seeing how serious he was, Lu Jingxing smiled: "You'll get used to it as you do it, so you don't have to remember it...haha..."

"Hey, I have to get started as soon as possible. It looks easy, but when I really have to do it myself, I still feel a little nervous."

Lu Jingxing smiled and patted his shoulder: "It's okay, it's not difficult. Let's go to the reptile store. There is a nest of baby snakes that just hatched these days. You can go and take a look..."

"Xiao Sun is in charge of that, right?" Xi Wenxin asked, remembering it.

"Yes, he, Xiaolan and Xiaomei are in charge now, and the performance is pretty good, better than I expected..." Lu Jingxing said as he led him to the back door of the park.

"Haw..."

Lu Jingxing was about to walk straight through the pavilion when he suddenly heard a cry and couldn't help but look up at the birdcage behind him.

He saw Big and Little Blackbird standing in the birdcage looking at him. To exaggerate a little, he actually saw smiling expressions on the two black heads of the black birds. The two little guys looked at him excitedly and shouted at him.

Lu Jingxing didn't react immediately. He turned around and looked at Ding Fang at the back door. He shook his head and asked, "Ding Fang, why do I remember that I seemed to have released them?"

Ding Fang was suddenly called by Lu Jingxing. She stood up immediately and looked over in confusion: "Huh?"

At this time, Xiao Chen, who was in charge of the fish tank, stretched his waist out of the fish tank and said, "Brother Lu, they came back last night. I worked overtime last night. After they came back, I opened the cage and they flew straight in."

Several people looked at him, and then looked at Tuguya and Tuguji: "Does this mean they are back again?"

Xiao Sun was wearing overshoes and cleaning the fish tank. After hearing everyone's questions, he nodded seriously and said, "Yes, they came back on their own."

Ding Fang also came over: "Ah, I really didn't notice it..."

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "It's normal that you didn't notice. Originally, I was responsible for the bird cages. It wasn't completely dark yet, and I was sweeping the floor at the pavilion. They rushed down from above. There seemed to be another bird behind them. It must have turned around and flew away when it saw me. However, some feathers fell off the second thrush, and a lot of feathers flew down with it. As soon as it fell, I caught it. It was shaking all over, and it came back so late. I think they suffered a little this time, and they probably felt that it was better to have food and drink here, so they came back."

Lu Jingxing also laughed after hearing this.

Seeing how happy they were to see him, he walked over and put some mealworms in the food box of the cage: "Thrush, come and take a look..."

The little guy obeyed and flew down from the height immediately.

It was not a big deal, but a patch of hair on my back was bald.

"What happened?" Lu Jingxing didn't expect it to be so serious, and asked quickly in his mind.

"Chirp, Shrike, you scared the babies to death. They almost died..." The thrush flew down, flapping its wings, and started chirping and screaming loudly.

It seems like I haven’t recovered from that dangerous fishing experience yet, and I still feel scared when I think about it.

"Shrike?" Lu Jingxing repeated. He had heard of this bird.

"They were chased by a little bird, which came straight over from that side. After they came down, the bird screamed a few times. I stomped my feet a few times and roared a few times, and the bird flew away. I didn't see clearly, and then I saw Thrush Big and Thrush Two. Especially Thrush Two, it was so scared. I comforted them for a long time before they returned to the cage." Xiao Chen said hurriedly when he heard Lu Jingxing's muttering.

That makes sense.

The Shrike has a very violent and ferocious temper. Not to mention the Big and Little Thrushes, even pheasants that are several times larger than them will be attacked directly when they see it.

"Looking at the look on Thrush No. 2's face, he must have encountered a shrike or a falcon or something like that..." He didn't know what to say. He was sure it was a shrike because he didn't see it. Although he heard it, it was Thrush No. 1 and the others who said it, so he couldn't say anything.

"I know about falcons, but shrike? Is it a bird?" Xi Wenxin asked.

"Yes, it's a bird, a carnivorous bird. Some people say it's a killer among birds of the same size. However, compared to hunting birds, it prefers insects like cicadas, and they like to eat snakes. In the past, you would always see snakes hanging on telephone poles in the countryside, and that was usually caused by them. They are not big in size, but are recognized to be very brave. They have a strong desire for meat, and can even be said to be cruel and bloodthirsty birds of prey. Small shrikes can fight with crows, red crows, and other birds that are larger and stronger than them, which are twice their size. The most amazing thing is that their fights are not only for self-defense, but they are often active attacks, especially in defense. In the fight with a strong enemy with a huge disparity between them, it is rare to see a shrikes succumb to the strong or be abducted by the strong enemy. Their mentality is that at worst they will die together." Lu Jingxing talked endlessly about shrikes.

"It's so powerful. That Thrush was lucky to escape from its mouth." When the employees working in the backyard heard Lu Jingxing talking about the shrike, they all came over.

Lu Jingxing smiled and said, "That's true. Few of those targeted by the Shrike escape. The reason they were able to escape death was probably mainly because of Xiao Chen. Then, they desperately ran back."

"I was saying, when I saw them yesterday, they looked so terrified."

"It's good that only the hair on Thrush Two's back has fallen off. There are no wounds. It looks like the two of them flew away desperately when they saw that guy. Thrush Two must have run slower and was hit by it. Fortunately, no flesh was bitten." Lu Jingxing caught Thrush Two and looked at its back carefully to confirm that there was no flesh bitten.

"Will it come again? I think it knows this place. Are these parrots in the cages also in danger?" Xi Wenxin raised his head and looked at the cage.

There are so many parrots in the cage, and they are unaware of the danger. If they get close to the cage and encounter such a ferocious shrike, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Lu Jingxing also looked up.

"It is indeed a problem. If the little guy knows there is a bird here, he will definitely come again. Although there is a cage, if the parrots get close to the side, there is no telling whether they will be caught by it. We need to think of a way." Lu Jingxing also nodded.

“Well, without further ado, Jian, go to Ju’an Market now and buy a bundle of nets. We will net these two bird cages from above…” Lu Jingxing had to do it as soon as he thought of it. He could not rely on luck and had to take precautions.

"So how much do we need to buy?" Ji An was helping Xiao Chen clean the fish tank. When he heard Lu Jingxing's instructions, he immediately took off his gloves.

"Ding Fang, bring me a size and let's measure it..." Lu Jingxing said to Ding Fang.

Before he finished speaking, Ding Fang had already brought a ruler over: "Brother Lu, give this..."

Lu Jingxing looked back, he didn't expect her to be so fast. Xi Wenxin and Ji An came over, and they measured the length and width together, and finally calculated the size.

Jian went out immediately.

After making the arrangements, Lu Jingxing was about to go to the reptile park when Yang Pei called him: "Brother Lu, the results of the Labrador Reptile Fertility Test are out. Do you have time to do the surgery? If you want to, you can do it now..."

Lu Jingxing stopped opening the door: "I'm fine right now, how about you do the preparations and I'll come over to take a look."

He nodded at Xi Wenxin: "Let's go to the second store..."

Xi Wenxin nodded and immediately followed him to the second store.

When the two arrived at the second store, they saw Yang Pei preparing to pick up the Labrador.

Seeing the two of them coming, he half-withdrew his body: "Brother Lu, Lao Xi is here..."

Lu Jingxing smiled and said, "How is it? Let me see the result..."

"Go to my office..." Yang Pei said something to the person inside and walked towards the office.

"It's not particularly serious, but both feet are injured. I guess it will take some time to recover after the surgery. Look, this part should be old..." Yang Pei said to Lu Jingxing while pointing at the film.

Lu Jingxing nodded as he watched: "It must have been broken before. It was probably already lame before this injury. This is probably why it was easily taken to the slaughterhouse this time. It can't run."

Yang Pei and Xi Wenxin couldn't help but nodded.

"Okay, let's do the surgery. I'm fine now. Let's operate on it together, starting on both legs at the same time." Lu Jingxing said.

"Okay, Xiangyu is resting today, so the surgery can be done as soon as possible..." Yang Pei nodded.

"Mr. Xi, let's go into the operating room together." Lu Jingxing said to Xi Wenxin who was standing next to him.

"I don't have surgical gown..." Xi Wenxin said.

"I have a spare set, you can wear it." After hearing this, Yang Pei immediately took out a set of surgical gown from her cabinet and gave it to Xi Wenxin.

This was the first time he officially went on the operating table. His mentality was completely different from the last time he followed out of curiosity. Xi Wenxin actually felt a little excited in addition to anticipation.

Seeing him like this, Lu Jingxing couldn't help but smile: "You don't need to be in charge today, so there's no need to be nervous..."

Xi Wenxin chuckled: "I am indeed a little nervous..."

"I can see that you were like this when you were a little nervous when you were in school. But there's really nothing to be nervous about. You'll know when you see it. It's not a major operation. You'll get it after watching it a few more times." Lu Jingxing said casually.

The three of them entered the operating room together.

The operation went smoothly. Lu Jingxing was responsible for the leg with the old injury, and Yang Pei was responsible for the other one.

The two finished the operation at about the same time.

The last time he went there, Lu Jingxing told Xi Wenxin how to suture. The method was the same as Xiao Liu's. He went to the vegetable market to buy pork skin and practiced at home.

So, when it came time to sew, Lu Jingxing raised his hands and looked at Xi Wenxin: "Now that it's sewed, do you want to try it?"

"Me?" Xi Wenxin really came in with the attitude of learning and never thought that he would need practical practice, so when Lu Jingxing asked him, he was a little surprised.

"Hmm?" Lu Jingxing nodded with a smile.

"Okay..." Xi Wenxin had actually been itching to do it, so he immediately put down the notebook in his hand, went to the washing table to disinfect the handle more thoroughly, and took Lu Jingxing's special suturing tools.

Then, under the guidance of Lu Jingxing, he carefully operated while watching Yang Pei.

Yang Pei also waited until he had disinfected and sterilized the wound before suturing it together.

Even though his movements slowed down by several beats, he was still much faster than Xi Wenxin.

His suturing skills were second only to Lu Jingxing's, so after Xi Wenxin finished suturing, the difference in comparison would be huge.

"This, how did you sew it so beautifully? Mine, this is too ugly. No, can you take it apart and start over? It's too ugly, and it gets uglier the more I look at it." Xi Wenxin frowned. The more he looked at his first masterpiece, the more dissatisfied he became.

Lu Jingxing and Yang Pei both laughed: "It's OK, better than I thought. The important thing is, when you were stitching it just now, I saw that your hands were not shaking. As for why it doesn't look so good, it's a process of practice makes perfect, so take your time..."

“But one of its legs is sewn so well, and the other one is so ugly. If it were a girl, she would probably get depressed.” Xi Wenxin still felt that this was not acceptable.

"Okay, you may not really have to take it apart and re-sew it, haha. As long as the bones grow well and it can walk normally in the future, that's enough. As for the sutures, they are cosmetic lines, and they won't be visible when the skin grows back. Besides, if you can see it, it will grow hair, and it won't be visible once the hair grows out, so don't worry about it." Yang Pei said with a smile. Anyone would be in a good mood if others recognized that their sutures were beautiful.

After hearing this, Lu Jingxing also laughed and started to pack up his tools.

"Okay, don't worry about it. The real thing is to pack up the tools together." Yang Pei said with a smile.

Xi Wenxin also laughed. That was exactly the truth. The reason why his sewing was not good-looking was nothing but that he had done too little. He believed that his skills would improve in the near future.

The three of them were chatting and laughing as they cleaned up and waited for the Labrador to wake up. Before they knew it, half an hour had passed.

Lala also woke up amid everyone's expectant gazes.

The operation was successful. After a few days, it could walk normally again, and it also ushered in its second rebirth.

As for the Samoyed and its cubs, after arriving at the store, they were able to drink milk normally. Even after just one night, it was noticeable that the three little guys were in much better condition than yesterday.
