Chapter 6

When Mu Ling was pushed awake by Wei Li, her arms were empty. She didn't know when the long-tailed fox left, but her arm was still a little warm.

Seeing the medical kit coming, Mu Ling looked around, but didn't see Xiang Bie.

"Brother Xiang went to move the car. He probably parked the car farther away to avoid disturbing Qilin." Wei Li explained.

Mu Ling said "Oh" twice and opened the medical kit.

Wei Li was shining a flashlight on her. Under the not-so-bright light, Mu Ling looked through all the medicines in the medical kit and sighed: "It's quite complete."

There were all the common animal medicines. Mu Ling thought that the zoo had been closed for more than half a year, and the medicines should be a little scarce. Looking at the expiration date, they were all the latest medicines.

Wei Li chuckled: "Our medicine is sponsored. We just rely on Brother Xiang and I, two poor guys. We can't afford these medicines. They are very expensive."

Sometimes, animal medicines are indeed more expensive than human medicines.

However, when Mu Ling heard Wei Li say "we just rely on him and Xiang Bie, two poor guys", her heart still skipped a beat.

Is he pointing a finger at her? Is he crying to her about his poverty? Is he urging her to pay back her debts!

Mu Ling admitted that she was indeed more sensitive to this topic now...

She didn't dare to say anything and hurried to give Tiger an injection first.

It takes about a minute for the medicine to take effect. Soon, the sound of a car was heard in the distance. After a while, Xiang Bie came over with a stretcher.

Mu Ling confirmed that the tiger could be moved, and watched Xiang Bie and Wei Li, one in front and one behind, lift Qilin onto the stretcher and then onto the car.

Xiang Bie drove a mountain ambulance, but it was called an ambulance, but in fact it was just a larger mountain bike with a cage converted at the back.

When going down the mountain, Xiang Bie drove the car, Mu Ling sat in the passenger seat, and Wei Li sat in the cage at the back to guard Qilin.

The road down the mountain was still bumpy. Wei Li asked from behind: "Brother Xiang, do you remember the location of the broken protective net? Otherwise, I'll go and take a look tomorrow."

Mu Ling had heard Wei Li say before that the protective net was damaged. Qilin was injured by a python that came out of the deep forest. In the end, although Qilin killed the python, he was also thrown away by the python, with his back injured and his hind legs bitten.

Xiang Bie took the steering wheel and said, "I fixed it, but it won't take care of it for a few days."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ling quickly stated, "The people from the protective net company will be here tomorrow. I have already booked a comprehensive upgrade and maintenance package for the protective net, which costs ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine!"

Xiang Bie: "..."

Xiang Bie glanced at the new director who was nervous and afraid that she would be misunderstood as unprofessional. He was silent for a moment and nodded, "Thank you."

Mu Ling breathed a sigh of relief and waved her hand quickly, "What are you thanking me for? It's my duty."

Wei Li behind her hurriedly said, "The director is really amazing. Today's Qilin incident is all thanks to the director!"

Mu Ling was praised again and felt embarrassed, but she immediately raised her chest a little and was secretly proud!

Xiang Bie noticed it and looked at her more.

"But the Qilin has always lived in the inner circle, and it won't come to the streams in the outer circle to drink water. Why did it meet the python in the outer circle? How strange." Wei Li muttered again.

Xiang Bie paused, and looked at Wei Li behind him through the rearview mirror.

Wei Li noticed Xiang's gaze, looked at Xiang through the rearview mirror, and then froze.

Xiang actually shook his head at him?

What does this mean? Asking him to stop asking?

Mu Ling followed up with curiosity: "Yes, why did the Qilin come to the outer circle?"

Mu Ling had heard from Wei Li's popular science that the beasts all lived in the inner circle.

Xiang Bie turned the steering wheel and said in a light tone: "Qilin is not in good spirits and sometimes doesn't recognize the road."

"Did it get lost and go to the outskirts?" Mu Ling felt extremely distressed: "Our Qilin is only eight years old and has senile dementia? It's too pitiful!"

Mu Ling immediately decided to take good care of Qilin in the future, but he didn't notice that Wei Li in the back seat and Xiang Bie in the driver's seat exchanged glances and fell silent.

Even if Qilin is mentally ill, he is still sensitive to danger. It is impossible for it to take the initiative to go to the outskirts. There is only one possibility for it to come out - instinct.

Before retiring, Qilin was a war beast, and a top-quality S-class war beast. Even if its brain is not good, some habits are engraved in its bones. If Xiang Bie guessed correctly, the python should have the smell of an alien beast. Qilin smelled the breath of an alien beast in the inner circle, so he chased the python out.

However, Xiang Bie also looked at the body of the python. It was not an alien beast, so it was possible that it had contact with an alien beast. In other words, an alien beast appeared deeper in the jungle separated from the Piccolo Zoo by only a protective net!

Brother Xiang did not let Wei Li ask because he did not want to scare the new director. When he just went down the mountain, he had already notified the local garrison troops of the God King Star.

Ordinary people like them don't need to worry about the alien beasts, the army will naturally take care of it.

-When

they returned to the service area, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

Although Mu Ling was exhausted, she still followed Qilin into the veterinary station and gave it another full body check.

The veterinary station was equipped with equipment. Mu Ling took a few X-rays of Qilin and drew blood. While waiting for the results, Mu Ling turned on the headlights and carefully examined Qilin's whole body again. Sure enough, she found a few small wounds that had not been discovered before.

"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door outside.

Mu Ling looked up and saw Xiang Bie standing at the door.

Xiang Bie said, "Dinner is ready."

This seemed to be the first time that Mu Ling had seen Xiang Bie's appearance clearly in a lighted place today.

Not to mention, he looks really good.

It's not that Mu Ling hasn't seen handsome guys before. There are too many handsome guys on Starnet. She is just curious. Brother Xiang is so good-looking. He can make a lot of money as an Internet celebrity. Why does he stay in a poor and closed zoo as a keeper?

Mu Ling pulled her mask, lowered her head and continued to use tweezers to clamp cotton and apply medicine to some small wounds of Qilin. She said, "I'll eat it later. I'll finish here first."

Xiang Bie came over and stood beside her. He looked at Qilin and stroked its dull fur.

Mu Ling asked casually, "Brother Xiang, why is our medicine sponsored?"

This is what Wei Li said before, saying that the medicines in the zoo are all sponsored. Mu Ling is now like a miser who has never seen money. She is very sensitive to money!

Xiang Bie said: "Some of the animals' former owners hope that the animals can live well in our zoo, and they will donate money regularly to equip the zoo with some common medicines."

Mu Ling was immediately moved: "They are all good people!"

How much money this saved her!!!

Mu Ling's little brain turned quickly, and she immediately thought of an idea: "Why don't we wait until the zoo reopens, and then we will invite these kind people who donated money to come and play for free, as a thank you for their continued support!"

Then encourage these kind people to go back and introduce their relatives and friends to come, then the effect of the publicity will be achieved!

Mu Ling was very happy, she felt that the dawn of victory with tourists flocking in like clouds was already ahead!

Seeing that the director was so energetic, Xiang Bie didn't pour cold water on her after all.

It is easy to reopen the business, but it is not easy to make a profit. Even if it is reopened, there is a high probability that the previous losses will be repeated. If

the problem of tourists not being able to see the animals is not solved, the reputation will only get worse, just like before.

-Qilin

didn't wake up until five o'clock the next morning.

Because Mu Ling was afraid that something might happen to Qilin in the middle of the night, she stayed at the veterinary station overnight.

Wei Li originally wanted to keep watch for her, but Mu Ling didn't let him. Tomorrow the people from the protection network company will come, and then Xiang Bie and Wei Li will have to take people to run around the mountains, so don't let them stay up late, anyway, she can catch up on sleep during the day.

When Qilin just woke up, he started to struggle.

Mu Ling heard the noise, quickly got up from the sofa, and ran to the ward.

Qilin's ward was called a ward, but it was actually a big iron cage. There were two big quilts in the cage so that Qilin could lie down more softly.

When Mu Ling rushed to the door of the cage, she saw Qilin running around the cage, and even raised his hands to scratch the wall behind him with his claws.

"Qilin, Qilin, don't move. Your claws are injured. If you move around, they will bleed... Ouch, it's really bleeding!"

Mu Ling was anxious and tried to persuade him for a few minutes. She couldn't persuade him anymore, so she had to put on protective clothing, took an anesthetic needle, and walked in.

The tearing tiger saw someone coming in. Although it was already covered in wounds, it still roared fiercely at Mu Ling: "Roar!"

While roaring, its body tensed up and several bandages immediately began to bleed.

Mu Ling was afraid that it would break the wounds that had been sutured before, so she quickly stopped it sternly: "Qilin, no, sit down!"

The tearing tiger naturally would not listen to her. It lowered its upper body, as if it wanted to kill Mu Ling at any time.

Mu Ling put her hands on her hips, not afraid at all: "Go ahead, I saved your body, how could I not know how much you weigh now, you are in pain all over now, you have no strength at all, don't be stubborn!"

"Roar... um..." The Ripping Tiger roared again, but halfway through, it seemed that it was really in too much pain, and the ending tone changed. It lowered its head, gasped for air, and rubbed its bandaged paws with its nose, trying to dig away the uncomfortable gauze.

"Qilin, no." Mu Ling walked over to stop it.

As soon as she approached, the Ripping Tiger immediately retreated, it bared its teeth, weak, but very tough.

Mu Ling was really heartbroken. Relying on the fact that she was wearing protective clothing and carrying an anesthetic needle, she squatted carefully in front of the tiger, pushed open the tiger's big mouth, and prevented it from moving its claws.

The Ripping Tiger was very angry and was about to bite Mu Ling.

As soon as its mouth opened, Mu Ling quickly closed its upper and lower jaws and forced it shut.

Then she leaned over, kissed its nose, and said softly: "Be good, Qilin, it doesn't hurt anymore, let's sit down, okay?"

The Tear Tiger panted through the tip of its nose and glared at her fiercely.

Mu Ling looked at the tiger's front paws again.

"The gauze is crooked, it has to be rewrapped."

The Tear Tiger kept its body tense. Although it couldn't open its mouth, its ruthless beast eyes were staring at the woman's neck. It knew very well that if it bit through here, it could kill the opponent!

"I'm going to change the gauze for you. I'm letting go. Don't bite me. Forget it, it doesn't matter. You can't bite through it anyway. If you really bite, I'll stab you." Mu Ling let go of the tiger's mouth. The tiger didn't move, and kept the previous movement stiffly.

Mu Ling held up its front paw and blew on the wound - human logic, blowing will make it go away.

When she was removing the gauze, Mu Ling suddenly felt an itchy feeling on the back of her neck.

She was wearing a protective hood, which obstructed her vision. She turned her head and saw that the tiger was sniffing her with a confused look on its face. As it sniffed, it inserted its entire nose into her neck and kept digging into it.

Mu Ling was surprised: "What are you doing?"

The tiger sniffed twice, then raised its paw and scratched its nose with it, as if it felt that its nose was broken.

Mu Ling thought about it and seemed to understand. She chuckled: "You think there is my smell in your nose? Sorry, I gave you artificial respiration before, using mouth-to-nose breathing. There may be my saliva in your nose."

The Tearing Tiger shook its head in confusion. This smell made it not want to attack. Why is there such a smell? It moved closer and continued to smell Mu Ling, then stretched out its tongue and licked her.

Mu Ling: "..."

Mu Ling's clothes were licked wet by it, and she quickly pushed it away: "Oh, it's dirty, don't lick it, dear, sister will take a look at your paws first, well, our Qilin is the best, our Qilin is the most obedient, sister will give you another kiss, mua..."
