Chapter 5
The fallen tiger was huge and heavy. Mu Ling tried it, but it was completely motionless.
Mu Ling first pried open its eyes and determined its current condition by judging the shape of its pupils.
The pupils have not dilated yet, so it can still be saved!
Mu Ling hurriedly opened the tiger's thighs again, and felt the pulse on the inside of its hind legs, counting its pulse beats in his heart.
The heartbeat became weaker and weaker, so Mu Ling let the tiger lie on its side and pressed the back of its front paw elbow.
This position is the highest point of the tiger's chest cavity. By pressing here, the tiger can be resuscitated by the heart.
The tiger's sebum is too thick, so Mu Ling must press very hard to stimulate the heart.
While she was giving the tiger first aid, a long-tailed vampire in the distance was shivering and licking the blood on its fur.
There was a hole bitten on its neck, and although it was not fatal, the blood was still flowing.
It was very scared and wanted to escape, but when it saw the humans and tigers in the distance, it did not dare to leave. It called out anxiously in that direction, and its meowing voice was hoarse and aggressive.
The long-tailed vampire seemed to think that Mu Ling was hurting the tiger, and it wanted to stop Mu Ling from leaving the tiger by shouting at her.
And Mu Ling had only one response to the long-tailed vampire's shouting: "Shut up!"
The weather was hot to begin with, and Mu Ling's forehead was sweating. The heart recovery took a lot of her energy, and the long-tailed vampire kept barking, and she couldn't even count the tiger's heartbeats!
Animals judge danger by tone, smell, and movement. After
Mu Ling's roar, the long-tailed fox was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became obedient.
Humans are many times larger than long-tailed foxes. The long-tailed fox used to think that Mu Ling was easy to bully and was very rude to her, but now that this two-legged beast is angry, the long-tailed fox dares not provoke it. It knows too well the harm of the beast's anger to itself. It may die, just like it did just now, being bitten to death...
It is a little afraid of this human...
Finding a branch to stand on, the long-tailed fox continued to lick its claws aggrievedly. There was a lot of blood on its claws, as if it could never lick it all.
...
The tiger didn't seem to be getting better. Mu Ling gritted her teeth. There was no other way. Artificial respiration!
She stuffed the tiger's tongue back into its mouth, closed its mouth, and blew air into its nostrils.
Mouth-to-nose artificial respiration is also a first aid method. The tiger's mouth is too big, and Mu Ling can't cover its mouth tightly with her hands. She simply lets its upper and lower jaws close and blows air into its nose.
While blowing, Mu Ling strokes its chest to make sure its chest is rising and falling.
The tiger's body is too big, and Mu Ling feels that her lung capacity is not enough. After blowing four or five times in a row, her sweat has doubled.
"Ha!" At this moment, the long-tailed fox suddenly began to roar again.
Mu Ling didn't have the energy to care about it, and continued to press the tiger's heart and give artificial respiration.
"Click." The black mountain boots crushed a few dead branches.
When Xiang Bie came over, he saw a thin girl wearing a zoo employee vest, lying on the ground with her cheeks puffed out, blowing air into Qilin's nose.
The man paused for a moment because of an accident.
After the pause, he quickly stepped forward.
Hearing the hurried footsteps, Mu Ling looked up and saw that it was a strange man.
The other party had sharp and cold facial features and a tall and slender figure. Mu Ling was stunned at first, and then saw the logo of the Bic Zoo on the other party's brown patrol uniform, and then she realized that this should be the Xiang brother that Wei Li always talked about.
That is, another employee of the zoo, Xiang Bie.
Xiang Bie did not speak to Mu Ling. He squatted down and quickly checked the condition of Qilin.
Mu Ling wiped the sweat from her head with the back of her hand, and continued to press the tiger's heart while saying to the man, "It's dying, I'm giving it first aid. Can you get some medicine quickly? 'Benzedrine' and 'Dimisol' will do, injections are required."
The man looked at her, his dark eyes full of deep emotions. He did not ask about the girl's identity, the answer was obvious. In the entire park, besides him and Wei Li, there was only one person who would appear here, the new director.
Xiang Bie said, "'Benzalcin' and 'Dimisol' are only available at the service area. There is a first aid kit in the car. Do you need it?"
Mu Ling thought that there were probably only some external injury medicines in the first aid kit, but there might also be detoxification. After all, there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the jungle, and animal poisoning is also common. She said, "Yes!"
Xiang Bie got up and ran quickly towards the mountain bike not far away.
In less than half a minute, the man came back, and Xiang Bie put the first aid kit next to Mu Ling.
"Can it be saved?" the man suddenly asked.
Mu Ling blew air until her face turned red, and she replied while taking a breath: "I don't know."
She really didn't know, she could only try her best.
Xiang Bie looked at her silently, then got up and left, driving away the mountain bike. Mu Ling performed artificial respiration and CPR for more than seven minutes before she finally felt that the tiger could breathe on its own.
The tiger's hind legs trembled. Although it was just a mechanical muscle twitch, at least it responded, and its overall breathing became stable.
Mu Ling sat down on the ground, and her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally fell back into her stomach! She
was finally saved!
Her clothes were soaked, and Mu Ling didn't care. She opened the first aid kit and looked at the medicine inside.
Mu Ling is a drug researcher after all. Even if she doesn't understand animal medicine, she can tell the approximate formula by looking at the indications. There is indeed an anti-venom drug in it. Mu Ling knows that the tiger was poisoned by snake venom. After all, there are snake tooth marks on the wound. She found the most suitable medicine and increased the dosage. She injected the tiger with three bottles.
After the injection, Mu Ling observed the tiger's other symptoms. The whole body was covered with wounds. In addition to the new wounds on the back and thighs, it also had a lot of old wounds.
Not to mention the deformed healing of the bones on the left hind leg, there are many large and small scars on other parts of the body. Because of the many scars, hair follicles in many places have stopped growing, and large patches of hair are bald. It may look majestic from a distance, but it looks like a stray tiger from a close distance.
"How did you get yourself into this state?"
Mu Ling was shocked. Isn't this a tiger from the zoo? How could it be worse than a wild tiger?
After wiping the bloodiest part with a disinfectant wipe, Mu Ling finally saw the shape of the most serious external injury on the tiger's back.
This should be a collision injury. There is a large bruise next to it. It may be that when fighting with some animal, it was thrown out and hit its back against a stone. The tip of the stone scratched the entire piece of flesh, causing such a wide wound.
Because the wound is on the back, the tiger cannot lick it by itself, but when it moves, its muscles will pull the wound, so its wound will never heal, and the blood will never scab over, and it will keep bleeding.
The tiger suddenly fainted because of snake venom, the body function had long been damaged, and it was also because of excessive blood loss.
"You are so unfortunate and miserable."
Mu Ling patted the tiger's head with pity, put on a pair of medical gloves, took out the needle and thread in the first aid kit, disinfected the wound on the tiger's back, and then began to sew it up.
Mu Ling sewed very carefully, wiping the blood as she went along, until she was nearly finished, when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps in the distance.
Mu Ling thought it was Xiang Bie who came back, but when she looked up, she saw it was Wei Li.
Well, the service area was far away, and it was impossible for Xiang Bie to come back so soon.
"Fuck, what's going on!" Wei Li was shocked when he just came back.
The new director was gone, and the mountain bike parked on the side of the road was gone too. He thought the director had driven away by himself, but then he heard some noise over here, and came over to see, only to see Qilin lying on the ground as if dead, with the director still sitting next to it.
"This, this is..."
Wei Li took a few steps forward and saw that Qilin was so badly injured. He felt a pain in his heart and squatted down to touch it: "What happened!"
"It's okay, don't be nervous." Mu Ling hurriedly comforted Wei Li. She was afraid that Brother Wei would think that she had made the tiger like this, so she quickly explained everything that had happened before, and finally said: "Xiang..."
After hesitating for a while, Mu Ling still followed Wei Li and called him "Brother Xiang".
"Brother Xiang has gone back to get the medicine. Before we administer the specific medicine, we can't move it for now. Let it lie down first. But Brother Wei, why does this tiger have so many injuries? Look at its hind legs, the bones are all crooked."
Wei Li looked at Qilin's hind legs with heartache and whispered, "Qilin is too sensitive and won't let people get close to it. We can't treat it."
Mu Ling was stunned and looked at the holster on Wei Li's waist: "Can't we use an anesthetic gun?"
Generally, large animals in zoos are given anesthesia guns for treatment and then taken back for treatment.
Wei Li smiled bitterly: "When it was injured for the first time, we shot it with a tranquilizer gun. Later, it got the hang of it and became very smart. It would run away as soon as it smelled us from ten miles away. We didn't even have a chance to get close to it."
Mu Ling thought, this tiger is quite naughty. No, this is the zoo's asset. It must be treated actively and cannot be allowed to fend for itself!
Mu Ling said sternly: "It's okay, we have caught it this time, let's see where it can run! We must heal it all in one breath, let it know how powerful we humans are!"
Wei Li chuckled and looked at Mu Ling first. He wanted to say that Qilin was a retired S-class war beast and would never allow himself to be locked in a cage while he was conscious, otherwise he would commit suicide. But now Qilin was still unconscious, so Wei Li didn't say anything, thinking to himself to cure as many as possible.
Mu Ling quickly sewed up the wound on the tiger's back. Wei Li was very surprised: "I didn't know you had such a skill, Director."
Mu Ling was a little embarrassed: "It's just so-so. The stitches are still a little crooked."
Wei Li said: "The main thing is that you, Director, studied veterinary medicine. It's obvious that you care about our zoo."
Mu Ling wanted to say that she studied medicine and that she could sew because of her good foundation. But on second thought, she realized that she did learn veterinary medicine by herself, so she shyly accepted Wei Li's compliment and said with her head held high: "I can perform one more time." "This time! Do you want to see it?"
Wei Li: "..."
Mu Ling's big dark eyes focused precisely on the long-tailed vampire on a tree branch not far away. She took off her gloves and lowered her voice: "It's that long-tailed vampire. It's also injured. Brother Wei, let's surround it and catch the cat. I'll sew another one for you!"
Wei Li also quietly went to see the long-tailed vampire who was ignorant of the world and was still licking his fur. He said in the same low voice: "Okay, I'll go to the back and press its back."
Mu Ling said: "I'll control its mouth from the front."
The two whispered and discussed, just like the joint of an underground organization.
After formulating the capture plan, Wei Li went around to the other side of the forest. He pretended to be a passerby and didn't approach the long-tailed vampire at the beginning.
Mu Ling also stood up, pretending to stretch, and slowly moved towards the big tree.
Because of the injury and lack of energy, the long-tailed fox saw the two people, but did not think that the other party was coming for it, so it squatted on the tree and did not move.
Until Mu Ling gave an order: "Take action!"
"Meow!!!!" In the deep and dense jungle in the evening, the miserable cries of the cats and cats, together with the frantic shouting of humans, scared away the birds watching the show on the branches.
-Two
hours later, Xiang Bie stopped the car and walked quickly into the bushes with a medical kit.
As soon as he approached, he was stunned.
The forest was already dark, but with his amazing night vision, he could see clearly even without light.
The dim moonlight fell through the gaps in the shadows of the trees. In the open space below, a girl in a blue vest was leaning against a tree trunk next to the tiger, her head tilted, sleeping soundly. She was holding a bandaged long-tailed fox in her arms. The long-tailed fox curled up in her arm, with its chin resting on her arm...
Suddenly, as if it heard the sound of someone approaching, the long-tailed fox quickly opened its eyes, and the cat's scintillation eyes were especially bright in the dark night, shooting accurately at Xiang Bie.
"Brother Xiang."
A low voice came from above his head.
Xiang Bie looked up and saw Wei Li leap down from the tree.
Wei Li smiled and looked at the silent man, tiger and cat over there, whispering: "Our new director is quite amazing, he has only been here for one day, and he has saved Qilin and captured the long-tailed vampire. The long-tailed vampire was dying when it was stitched, but later it was willing to sleep in the director's arms. I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes!"
Xiang Bie stared at that side for a while and asked: "Is Qilin okay?"
Wei Li said: "It's not completely out of danger yet, waiting for your medicine."
Xiang Bie handed the first aid kit to Wei Li: "Give it the injection, I'll go drive."
"By the way." Xiang Bie stopped again and turned to look at the girl who was still sleeping over there: "Remember to call Colonel Val later and ask him to thank the new director in person."
