Chapter 148

Monday morning, a rare sunny day.

Mu Ling washed up and left the dormitory. As soon as she went downstairs, many people greeted her.

"Headmaster, good morning."

Mu Ling said: "Morning."

"Director, are you in a good mood today?"

Mu Ling smiled and said, "It's rare for the sun to come out."

"Is it the sun or the neck..."

"Cough, cough, cough!" Someone in the distance suddenly coughed violently, reminding the man, "Don't be so explicit. The head of the garden hasn't announced it, so it's clear he's planning a secret relationship! And you're so tactless as to expose him. Do you have any emotional intelligence?"

The person who was reminded quickly corrected himself: "Oh, oh, oh, I mean, this sun is really nice. Taking a deep breath facing the sun, I feel refreshed all day long! Principal, you should try it too!"

Mu Ling: “…”

Mu Ling felt that this employee was weird and said awkwardly, "I'll try next time."

Having said that, he went to the veterinary station embarrassedly.

In the veterinary station, two nurses were dispensing medication. Mu Ling asked, "Where's Dr. Bree?"

Nurse Xiaoyan said, "They are already busy inside."

Mu Ling rolled up her sleeves and walked into the ward area.

As soon as she entered, she saw Dr. Bray treating the wound of a golden rabbit.

In other wards, other animals were chirping non-stop.

There are eight large wards in the ward area, and now almost all of them are full. Some small animals do not require much space, so some of the wards have been partitioned again so that two small animals can live in the same room.

For example, this golden rabbit with a broken right leg and the blue-tailed squirrel with a broken front paw after losing a fight live in the same room.

Mu Ling asked, "Doctor Bree, which medicines have been changed?"

Seeing her coming, Dr. Bray pointed forward with his chin and said, "A1 to A3 have all been changed. You can start from B4."

Mu Ling entered Ward B4.

There was a springbok living in Ward B4. When the springbok saw Mu Ling coming in, it immediately made a "bleating" sound.

Springboks have a very distinctive appearance. Their faces are white, and there are two reddish-brown lines under their eyes, which look like two tear marks.

Mu Ling stepped forward and touched the springbok's big nose, coaxing it, "You don't like living here, do you? You keep barking, what can I do? You insisted on stepping on the cracks in the rocks and got your foot stuck and injured. Now, if you don't change the medicine, your foot will be useless."

As they were talking, Nurse Xiaoyan came in. Mu Ling took the medicine box and asked Nurse Xiaoyan to control the springbok. Then she squatted down and removed the bandage on its front paws.

As the number of animals in the park increases, in addition to the war beasts that need treatment for nerve damage, other ordinary animals also often have minor illnesses and pains.

The ward area has never been empty. Mu Ling had previously planned to put the animals in the animal dormitory and cage them together after the initial treatment at the nursery was completed, but now it seems that the animal dormitory has to be used by the veterinary station first.

Mu Ling planned to ask someone to come and take a look in a couple of days, and then renovate the animal dormitory and convert it into an inpatient department.

The dressing on the springbok's foot was quickly changed, and Mu Ling went to Ward B3, where a war beast lived.

A-level raccoon biscuit was curled up in the corner. It was very beautiful with leopard print. When it saw Mu Ling coming in, it raised its head and shouted at her: "Ha!"

"You're still hailing me, sister? You don't even recognize me?" Mu Ling stepped forward and touched the leopard cat's fur regardless of anything.

This cat really looks like a tabby cat. Mu Ling touched it as if she was touching a leopard-print tabby cat. After touching it for a while, Biscuit, probably familiar with Mu Ling's smell, gradually narrowed his eyes and made a purring sound in his throat.

Mu Ling simply sat on the ground and held the biscuit on her knees.

After half a month of treatment, Biscuit's injuries from the fight with the alien beast have basically healed. Mu Ling turned over its belly and examined it. Seeing that some of the stitches had faded, she asked Dr. Bree over there, "Can Biscuit be discharged now?"

Without even looking up, Dr. Bray asked, "Are you going to keep it in captivity or let it roam free?"

Mu Ling thought for a moment and said, "Let it wait and see. Let's take it to the second service area first. If it wants to stay, it can stay. If not, we can send it back up the mountain."

Dr. Bray said, "Then wait a few more days until it's fully recovered before discharging it from the hospital. Otherwise, we'll have to release it back home. It won't be able to recover well in the mountains."

Mu Ling thought about it and it made sense, so she rubbed Biscuit's fur and started to change the medicine for it.

After a while, after changing the biscuits, Mu Ling went to the next room.

The next ward is a partition room.

On the left lives a young deer that keeps chirping.

On the right lives a mature and steady wild donkey grandfather.

The fawn is very lively. Compared to the wild donkey grandfather who is usually listless due to his old age, it is almost the source of noise in the entire ward area.

"What's the matter with you?"

Mu Ling went over and touched the young deer walking around.

“Hey, hey.”

“Hey hey——”

"Okay, okay, got it." Mu Ling responded perfunctorily, then took out medicine and injections from the medicine box.

The fawn had no external injuries and did not need any dressing changes. Its main problems were premature birth, malnutrition, and a minor bacterial infection.

This young deer was rescued by Yue Guang when he was killing strange beasts in the back mountain. In name, it is already Yue Guang's godson, but perhaps because of the harsh environment in which it was born, although it survived, its physical condition is not very good. It has to remain in the hospital for observation for a period of time.

After giving it the injection and force-feeding it medicine, Mu Ling went to see Grandpa Wild Donkey again.

Grandpa Wild Donkey is the most docile animal in the entire ward. Because of his old age, he is obviously tired and rarely moves.

Mu Ling stroked its mane lovingly, and then gave it an injection.

Grandpa Wild Donkey has gastroenteritis, a disease he got when he was young. Recently, he has lost his appetite and is in a bad mood. He was indifferent to the injection and just looked back quietly.

Mu Ling kissed its horse face, patted it and said, "It's okay, it will be better. Wild donkeys can live to be forty years old. You are only thirty years old, you are still young."

With the help of two doctors and two nurses, all the animals were treated in less than an hour.

A keeper calculated the time to come over and deliver hospital meals to the animals. Mu Ling saw that they were done here and planned to go to the nursery to check on the escape. But at this moment, Brother Xiang walked in and said, "That Director Lu is here again."

Mu Ling was stunned: "That Director Lu from the Rescue Animal Academy? The one who insisted on researching crocodile rescue? Didn't he go back last month?"

Because the weather was getting colder, the guards quietly began to hibernate. So, after failing to capture any useful information for several days, the people from the rescue animal academy could no longer hold on and went back one after another, saying they would come back in the spring.

But it's not spring yet.

Mu Ling and Brother Xiang went out together.

As soon as they left, the veterinary station became lively.

The two nurses, plus a few keepers, huddled together and muttered.

"Did you see that? They looked at each other while they were talking."

"I saw it. Not only did they look at each other, but they also smiled at each other."

"Actually, is there a possibility that looking at the other person when speaking is polite? Also, doesn't the headmaster smile at everyone he sees?"

"You are narrow-minded. Let me tell you, one smile is different from another. The headmaster's smile to us was a polite and friendly smile. To Brother Xiang, it was a smile that came from the heart and was irrepressible, a smile of love. It was a happy and sweet smile. The levels are completely different!"

"Wow, you're so professional!"

"Of course, I'm not exaggerating. I've been surfing the internet and shipping couples for at least seven or eight years. I'm pretty sure they're 100% in the hottest love phase. It's not like I'm washing my hair upside down!"

With the certification from the authority, the others were gradually convinced and began to express their opinions, but Dr. Bray next to him seemed a little disappointed.

No, how come even someone like Xiang Bie, who can't do anything with just three sticks, can find a partner, but he is still single!

-

Director Lu also brought a team with him this time. Not only the team, but also their dean came in person.

Mu Ling awkwardly shook hands with their Dean Shi and said a little embarrassedly: "But, didn't you find out last time that our guards only saved someone by chance because of interest? This was just a coincidence, and it doesn't mean that the Iron Crocodile can really become a rescue crocodile, right?"

Dean Shi smiled and said, "But that doesn't mean that the Iron Crocodile can't become a rescue crocodile, right?"

Dean Shi said, "President Mu, don't worry, we won't interfere with the guards. We just want to record their data. When Director Lu went back, we held a meeting and everyone voted and decided that we were still unwilling to give up this project, so this time we set up a special team to conduct a year-long periodic behavioral monitoring of the guards. I came here today to discuss this with you."

Mu Ling was a little shocked: "You want to monitor the guards for a year?"

Dean Shi was helpless: "There's nothing we can do. This is how new projects are. Like our other animal rescues, the time from filing to success can be as short as two or three years, or as long as more than ten years. This is because early monitoring and understanding are very important and also take the most time."

Mu Ling understood, and after thinking about it, it was not a big deal. It was just monitoring and would not harm the guards. Besides, it happened within their park. What problem could there be? She could just consider it as a contribution to scientific research.

Mu Ling said: "Okay then, do you need us to prepare anything?"

Dean Shi waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's great that you agree. As for the fees, I'll have the finance department transfer them to you."

Mu Ling was stunned: "What fee?"

Director Lu said, "You definitely have to pay to rent an animal. I'll pay you a lump sum for a year, 300,000 yuan."

Mu Ling quickly refused: "Oh, no, no, it won't delay anything, why would you give so much money?"

Director Lu smiled and said, "I gave them all. I gave them all before."

Dean Shi also said: "It's okay. It's not our money. It's the federal government's money. Don't refuse it."

Mu Ling: “…”

In the end, Mu Ling couldn't refuse any more and had to accept the 300,000 research funds reluctantly.

The guard quietly earned 300,000 yuan for the family. Mu Ling was extremely happy and was in high spirits the whole day, even humming songs from time to time.

Her smug and overly excited look would be very interesting to other people.

-

At nine o'clock in the evening, Xiang Biegang pulled the master Nini, Colonel Mingyu, and the master Feifan, Lieutenant Bailey, who had passed the review, into the group of people in the loving garden.

Just as I was about to say a few words in the group, a dialog box suddenly popped up above me. Xiao Zhao, the founder of the [Ringing Couple Fan Club], invites you to join the group.

The bell couple?

What?

Xiang Bie hesitated for a moment, but still clicked OK. Once he entered, he found that this was a large group with more than 60 people in it, all of whom were employees of the zoo, and other people were coming in one after another.

Xiang Bie frowned and was just about to see what everyone was talking about when the next second...

You have been kicked out of this group by Wei Li, the administrator of the [Xiangling Couple Fan Club].

Category: “?”

Xiang Bie was just wondering when Wei Li sent a panicked voice message to him from the backstage: "Brother Xiang! You pulled the wrong one!"

Then Xiao Zhao also sent a message: "Brother Xiang, I'm sorry, I pulled the wrong one!"

Category: "..."

But he clearly saw that all the employees were in that group...

Why exclude him?

Xiang Bie frowned and sent a message to Mu Ling: [What is the Ringing Couple? ]

Mu Ling quickly replied: [I don’t know.]

Category: [You are not in the group? ]

Mu Ling: [What group?]

Okay, they're all sidelined...
