Chapter 184 Meatballs are starving
"Okay." Lan Xue looked around and sat down on the sofa. She was still holding the little Sanhua that Lin Ting had given her in her arms, rubbing its fur from time to time.
The calico cat is very good-looking. Many people who don’t like cats can’t resist the calico cat’s super high looks, and those who like cats even want to steal it.
Soon, Lin Ting came out of the clinic with a medicine box.
She opened the medicine box, took out a cotton swab, and first disinfected Lan Xue's wound. Then she applied ointment and put on a large Band-Aid. "Luckily, it's just a simple scratch. The wound isn't particularly deep. If it were any deeper, I'm afraid it would have required stitches. Be more careful in your daily life. Don't get wet when you bathe. Eat less spicy food for the next few days. If you have any problems with the wound, you can come to me or go to the hospital."
After saying that, Lin Ting handed a plastic bag to Lan Xue. "This contains cotton swabs and wound medicine. Officer Lan can usually change the medicine herself. If it's really inconvenient, you can ask your friends for help."
"Thank you." Lan Xue raised her hand and touched the bandaged wound, and took the medicine handed to her by Lin Ting.
"How much is it? I'll transfer it to you." Lan Xue had already clicked on the payment interface.
"No need. Officer Lan was injured while protecting me. This little medicine is nothing." Lin Ting rejected Lan Xue's kindness.
Lan Xue put her phone away awkwardly. "Okay, Miss Lin, if you have anything in the future, you can contact me."
"Then I'll go back first. I still have things to deal with at the police station."
They have busted an entire overseas criminal gang, and they will be busy over the next two days as they have to try the cases against them and rescue ordinary people who were sold through them.
"Officer Lan, I'll take you out." Lin Ting personally escorted Lan Xue out of the pet hospital.
After Lan Xue started the car and left, Lin Ting returned to the pet hospital. Bai Xi had just finished her work and was stretching as she came out of the clinic. "Sister Ting, you're finally back. We missed you so much."
As Bai Xi was about to go forward and give Lin Ting a hug, before he could touch Lin Ting, Ping An came out from somewhere, jumped onto Bai Xi's shoulder using the table, and hit Bai Xi's head with a series of cat punches.
Woo
'You deserve it.'
Bai Xi calmed down for a second after being hit by Ping An, then looked at Lin Ting in surprise, pointed at himself for a long time, and then looked at Lin Ting again, "I was actually hit by a cat. Sister Ting, did the cat scold me just now? And it was pretty dirty."
How can that be considered an insult?
Lin Ting raised his hand and patted Bai Xi's shoulder, smiling and saying, "Ping An didn't scold you. Ping An did this because he likes you."
Bai Xi gave Lin Ting a speechless look.
Bai Xi: You see, I believe it.
Bai Xi was about to retort when the sound of wind chimes rang out and the door of the pet hospital was flung open. A boy in short-sleeved shirt and jeans appeared in the pet hospital, holding a little Bichon Frise. "Sister Lin, please help me check. Is my Meatball depressed? He's been so sullen these past few days that he won't even eat his favorite dog food, the big bone meat buns."
Lin Ting glanced at the little Bichon Frise in the boy's arms, and it did look a little listless.
Bichon Frise is very energetic when its owner is around, even fierce. Occasionally, some have good tempers, but they also like to take advantage of their owners. The little Bichon Frise in front of us is obviously in a bad mood.
"Have you gone to other hospitals for any examinations?" Lin Ting asked directly.
It is very rare for small animals to become depressed. In many cases, lack of energy is mostly due to problems with their body functions, but small animals cannot speak and their owners cannot perceive it.
The boy took out several stacked checklists from his pocket and handed them to Lin Ting. "I saw the foster care agency go bankrupt before, so I didn't dare send my dog there. I was on a business trip two days ago, so I sent Rouwanzi to be raised by my parents. I went to pick him up as soon as I got back yesterday, and when I got there, I found that something was wrong with him."
"I even specifically asked my parents, and they said it was all normal care, and nothing usually happened. I also suspected that Rouwanzi was unwell, so I immediately took Rouwanzi to a veterinary hospital near my home for a full-body check-up. The report showed that Rouwanzi's body functions were very healthy, but when I got home, Rouwanzi was still like this. I really had no choice. I couldn't contact Sister Lin online, so I drove here in person, hoping that Sister Lin could help me see if my Rouwanzi was depressed or unhappy for some other reason."
"Sorry, I was busy these two days and didn't pay attention to the private message." Lin Ting took the checklist and took a look. There was indeed no problem.
"You are the one who is depressed. Your whole family is depressed. Wang is the only one who is not depressed."
"Wang is observing a moment of silence for his good friend."
"It is wrong for a wang to eat a good friend. The meat of a good friend is still very delicious."
Hearing Rouwanzi's thoughts, Lin Ting raised his eyebrows and looked at the boy.
The boy seemed to understand something and asked suspiciously, "Sister Lin, could it be that my dog Rouwanzi was bullied by other dogs in my hometown?"
Lin Ting organized his words and said, "Your Meatball is not depressed, nor has he been bullied by other dogs. He just feels bad about eating his good friend, so he is observing a moment of silence for his good friend."
Hearing this, the boy stared at Lin Ting in surprise.
Not to mention the boys, even Bai Xi had an expression of disbelief on his face.
"Sister Lin, what do you mean by that? My meatball ate his best friend?"
"I only have one dog, Rouwanzi. I don't have any other dogs at home, and my family doesn't eat dog meat. Could Sister Lin be mistaken?"
"Do your parents have any other small animals at home?" Lin Ting did not directly answer the boy's question.
The boy thought for a moment and replied, "My parents also raise a flock of chickens and a few rabbits. They picked up the rabbits from the wild. They said they would stew them for me when I found a girlfriend. But I never found a girlfriend, so I kept the rabbits."
"While you were away, your parents stewed the rabbit they raised at home for Meatball. Before stewing, Meatball and the rabbit had become good friends. Meatball was unhappy when he knew his friend had been stewed, but when he smelled his friend, he couldn't help but eat it."
"Come on, you good fellow. People treat you as a friend, but you put your friend in your stomach." Bai Xi couldn't help but complain about Rouwanzi.
The boy's silence was deafening. He was shocked not only that Meatball had eaten his best friend, but also that the rabbit his parents had promised him had been secretly eaten without his knowledge, and that they had even stewed the dog they had brought home specifically for him.
The dogs in this house have a higher status than him.
After a long pause, the boy finally recovered from the news. "Sister Lin, what should we do now? Rouwanzi hasn't eaten much in the past two days. If this continues, I'm afraid he'll starve and lose weight."
Lin Ting glanced at Rouwanzi and asked, "Do you think Rouwanzi has lost weight these days?"
