Chapter 13
Mu Ling opened the first aid kit with shaking hands. She took out the "benzalmodon" from it, opened a new, clean syringe, estimated the wolf cub's weight, and injected the wolf cub with a half dose of special medicine. After
the injection, she waited for a minute for the medicine to take effect. After feeling the wolf cub's heartbeat speed up a bit, Mu Ling began to figure out how to get the wolf cub off the branch.
There are certain rules for pulling out foreign bodies. You can't just pull them out casually. If the force is not in the right direction, it will easily cause secondary injuries to the little wolf. Moreover, the front elbow is very close to the heart. Mu Ling almost held her breath, filled a flushing bottle with nutrient saline and a little anesthetic, and carefully picked up the little wolf while flushing the wound.
By the time the little wolf was completely taken out, Mu Ling was already sweating profusely.
Wei Li brought the towel over, and Mu Ling put the little wolf on the clean towel, and then put it on the ground for inspection.
"The wound has become a little infected. We need to clean it quickly, otherwise we won't be able to survive tonight or tomorrow. Brother Wei, we have to get down the mountain immediately."
Mu Ling said this and looked at Master Zhou and others behind him. These masters were originally going to spend the night in the mountains today. The car they drove was a mountain RV, and they were going to sleep in the mountains. After all, going up and down the mountain is too far, and they can't spend four or five hours commuting every day.
As a result, they suddenly provoked wolves in the middle of the night. They were afraid that the wolves would come to them, so they had been squatting on the tree. In this situation, Mu Ling definitely couldn't let them stay in the mountains. What if something happened? So he said, "Masters, come down the mountain with us. We will continue to work tomorrow after we make sure there is no danger."
The masters had no objection. Master Zhou said, "Our car is parked in an open space five kilometers away. I have to trouble Xiao Wei to take us there to get the car."
Wei Li turned to look at Mu Ling.
Mu Ling nodded: "Brother Wei, you take the masters there. I will wait for you in the car."
Wei Li: "Then, Director, please pay attention to safety and communicate at any time through the walkie-talkie."
"Okay."
After Wei Li and the masters left, Mu Ling carefully carried the little wolf into the car.
Turning on the lights, Mu Ling checked the wolf cub's condition again, then took a flashlight in one hand and a pair of tweezers in the other, carefully removing the wood chips from the wolf cub's wound.
Time passed by, and just as Mu Ling was concentrating on treating the wolf cub's wound, suddenly, there was a movement outside the car.
Mu Ling held her breath and looked out of the car nervously.
The dark shadows of the trees swayed back and forth like ghosts, because it was too late now, and the treetops above blocked the moonlight. Mu Ling could hardly see farther with her own eyesight.
Mu Ling was very scared that a wolf pack would really appear. There was a wolf pack in their zoo, with a total of eight wolves, four males and four females. According to Brother Wei, these eight wolves lived in groups. Now a female wolf and a wolf cub were missing in the pack, and the other wolves might come looking for them by smelling the scent!
Mu Ling's heart was beating very fast. After waiting for a few dozen seconds and feeling that the noise outside had disappeared, Mu Ling breathed a sigh of relief. She lowered her head and was about to continue cleaning the wolf cub's wound, but suddenly, she was startled!
She saw it!
Just less than ten meters away from her, a pair of ice-blue beast eyes emitting a faint fluorescent light were staring at her fiercely!
Ahhhhhh! The wolf father actually showed up!
Mu Ling quickly turned her head away! No eye contact, no eye contact! For animals, eye contact means provocation, and looking at each other for two more times may very well mean the end of their lives!
Mu Ling quickly retracted her head under the car window, and then stretched her body to touch the tranquilizer gun in the back seat of the car.
If it was really a male wolf that came, it would definitely not be just one wolf, there might be other wolves nearby!
Mu Ling didn't dare to look. She was panicking now. She held the tranquilizer gun tightly in her arms, silently reciting the method of using the tranquilizer gun in her heart. First load the gun, then aim. The gun has recoil, so when aiming...
"Bang bang."
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" The sudden knocking on the glass scared Mu Ling so much that she quickly aimed the tranquilizer gun at the car window. She didn't care whether the window was closed or not. Anyway, her finger was already on the trigger, ready to take action at any time!
Xiang Bie outside the car: "..."
"Brother Xiang!" Mu Ling finally saw that it was a person standing outside the car, not a wolf. She relaxed and quickly opened the car door: "Brother Xiang, you scared me to death! Get in quickly!" Before
Xiang Bie could say anything, his arm was grabbed by the girl.
Mu Ling moved inside while forcibly pulling Xiang Bie into the car. Then, with her other hand, she swiftly passed over Brother Xiang's body, closed the door, and finally peeked outside furtively.
Xiang Bie: "..." Xiang Bie's
back was pressed against the seat back. Mu Ling was too close to him. He pursed his lips and asked, "What's wrong?"
"There's a wolf!" Mu Ling said solemnly!
Xiang Bie was startled and tilted his head to look out the window.
There was silence outside the window, nothing.
Mu Ling now had someone by her side, and she immediately gained confidence. She pointed in a direction and said, "Right there, there, there was a pair of eyes, dark blue, it must be a wolf!"
Xiang Bie took another look and said, "It must have left."
"It left just now?" Mu Ling was a little suspicious, and looked around again. After making sure that there was no other movement around, she muttered, "Did it run away when it saw you, Brother Xiang, come back?" As
she spoke, she hurriedly asked Xiang Bie, "Brother Xiang, where is the she-wolf?"
"Get rid of it." Xiang Bie didn't say much, just asked: "Where is Wei Li?"
Mu Ling told him about Wei Li taking the masters to get the car. Xiang Bie frowned: "Go find them, the mother wolf will be back soon. If you don't leave quickly, she will smell the scent of the little wolf."
Xiang Bie and Mu Ling exchanged seats. He sat in the driver's seat, and Mu Ling held the little wolf in the passenger seat. The car started quickly.
The distance of five kilometers was not far, and the two parties quickly joined forces. When going down the mountain, Xiang Bie drove the mountain bike in front to lead the way, and Wei Li drove the masters' car to follow behind.
Along the way, because the mountain road was difficult to walk, Mu Ling carefully protected the little wolf the whole time, and tried her best to use her body as a meat pad to prevent the little wolf from being so bumpy.
When they returned to the service area, it was almost twelve o'clock. Wei Li went to arrange accommodation for the masters, while Mu Ling and Xiang Bie hurried into the veterinary station.
Mu Ling put the wolf cub on the operating table and saw that the wound had not worsened, so she continued to clean the wound.
Xiang Bie was helping Mu Ling while she was cleaning the wound. After Mu Ling cleaned the wound, sewed the stitches, bandaged the wound, and gave the wolf cub an IV, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, took off her gloves, and rubbed the wolf cub's soft fur with her fingertips with compassion.
Xiang Bie asked, "Is it okay?"
Mu Ling smiled and said, "It's basically okay, but I still have to watch it tonight in case there are any accidents. After that, I will change the dressing regularly. Young animals recover better than adult animals. After changing the dressing for a week, it will basically be 70% to 80% healed."
Xiang Bie frowned when he heard this: "A week?"
Mu Ling looked at him: "Huh?"
Xiang Bie said, "Within 24 hours, the wolf cub must be released, regardless of life or death."
Mu Ling: "..."
Xiang Bie: "When we found the wolf cub, it was already stuck on a branch. At that time, the mother wolf I tried to force it out, but the wolf kept crying. I was afraid it would kill the wolf, so I shot it with an anesthetic. But the shot didn't work. When the mother wolf stood up, I saw clearly that it was 'Qingjiao'..."
Mu Ling was puzzled: "Qingjiao?"
Xiang Bie: "The retired S-class war beast, the snow wolf 'Qingjiao', was bitten by a mutant crocodile on the battlefield, and the 'Pumping Ammonium' virus was detected in its body. After the treatment, it has been immune to anesthetics since then."
Mu Ling was shocked: "So the anesthetic gun didn't work on the mother wolf, and what happened next?"
"I provoked it and forcibly led it away, so that Master Zhou could contact you and buy time for you."
Xiang Bie said this and looked at Mu Ling again: "Although we have temporarily got rid of Qingjiao, it loves its son very much, and its sense of smell is extremely sensitive. It will find the service area in less than 24 hours. If it doesn't see the little wolf by then, it will definitely attack people."
Mu Ling's face turned ugly: "But if we release the little wolf within 24 hours, it won't be able to change the medicine later. If it continues to live in the mountains, the wound may be infected again, and we may not be able to save it then." Xiang
Bie was silent for a moment, and then he said "um": "Qingjiao is more important than the little wolf."
If he had to choose between the two, Xiang Bie could only choose Qingjiao.
Mu Ling couldn't accept it: "Is there no way to have the best of both worlds?" Xiang Bie
said nothing.
Mu Ling pondered for a while, then slapped her thigh
and said, "Got it, I have a connection!" She immediately walked inside.
Xiang Bie thought Mu Ling was going in to get something, so he waited for her outside. After waiting for a few minutes, Mu Ling still didn't come out, so he went in.
But just when Xiang Bie walked to the vicinity of the ward, he saw Mu Ling had already crawled into Qilin's iron cage. She was squatting beside Qilin, massaging his shoulders and legs, and said while hammering:
"Sister, sister, can you do me a favor? Do you know that 'Qingjiao'? It's the Wuxue Wolf, your old colleague..." "
That's right, if it comes back to me, can you come out and help me scare it? Just scare it away. It is five years old and you are eight. You are older than it, it must be afraid of you..."
"Sister, my only sister, Sister Lin, can you please give me a word? I will reward you with two cans of food after the task is accomplished!"
"Three? Five? Ten!"
Xiang Bie: "………………"
Is this the connection you mentioned?
Let the Tearing Tiger scare the Wuxue Wolf?
If he can be persuaded, it's not impossible, but...
Xiang Bie looked at Qilin again, only to see Qilin stretching his body. It probably thought that Mu Ling was playing with it, so it swung its tail in boredom, rolled around beside Mu Ling, then buried its head in Mu Ling's arms, licked its mouth, and fell asleep again.
Xiang Bie couldn't help but silently said: "Your connections are almost as lazy as pigs, can they really be trusted?"
Mu Ling: "..."
Mu Ling quickly covered Qilin's ears and accused Xiang Bie: "Brother Xiang, how can you say such things in front of a child!"
Then, Mu Ling lowered his head again, leaned close to Qilin's ear and whispered: "Qilin, don't listen, it's a bad review!"
