Chapter 7
It was six in the morning.
Wei Li was awakened by the ringing of his mobile phone.
He took a hazy look at his wristband computer and saw the four characters "Colonel Val" on the caller ID. Wei Li stood up and answered the call: "Hello."
The middle-aged man on the other end sounded anxious and panicked: "Little Wei, how is Qilin?"
Wei Li called Colonel Val last night, but no one answered. He guessed that Colonel Val was probably on duty, so he sent a message and told him about Qilin. Colonel Val probably saw it now.
"Don't worry, the situation is fine."
How could Colonel Val not be anxious? He had just returned to the dormitory after a night training, and the mud on his body had not been washed off yet. When he saw the message, he immediately called Wei Li and asked, "Can I see it?"
Wei Li also understood his feelings: "Okay."
Getting off the bed, Wei Li put on his clothes while looking at the bed next to him, afraid of waking up Brother Xiang, but found that his brother Xiang was not in bed at all.
Hey, where is Brother Xiang?
Brother Xiang was not in the room, and Wei Li did not have time to think about where he went. He just put on his shoes and went downstairs first. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came down, he saw Brother Xiang sitting on a bench at the door of the veterinary station and taking a nap.
"Brother Xiang?" Wei Li was surprised. So Brother Xiang came down to take over the director's shift?
Wei Li suddenly felt a little ashamed, he was the only one sleeping like a dead pig...
Xiang Bie heard the sound, looked over, and glimpsed Wei Li's computer with a red light on. He raised his eyebrows: "Colonel Val?"
Wei Li hurriedly said: "Yes, Colonel Val wants to see Qilin."
Xiang Bie didn't respond, and said in a faint tone: "Go in."
Wei Li quietly opened the door of the veterinary station, and then saw that the director was not there.
Anyway, there were no girls, so Wei Li didn't care, and simply changed the communication mode to video mode, letting Colonel Val see it himself.
The white interior, the table was a little messy, and there was still blood on the operating table. Colonel Val looked at the environment of the veterinary station, and his heart was in a knot.
He asked hurriedly: "Where is Qilin?" Wei Li said: "In the ward inside."
Wei Li turned a small corner, and on the other side of the corner was the ward area of the veterinary station.
In fact, it is called a ward, that is, four iron cages in two rows, which look a bit like ancient cells, but there is no way, only iron cages can hold wild beasts.
Wei Li walked to the first iron cage, looked inside, and was immediately surprised: "Hey, Qilin has woken up."
I didn't hear any movement just now, and I thought Qilin hadn't woken up yet.
Colonel Val also saw the Torn Tiger in the iron cage. Seeing the golden tiger wrapped in bandages, Colonel Val was heartbroken: "Qilin..."
The Qilin in the cage did not recognize the voice of its former owner. The tiger was lying in the corner of the cage with its back to the door. It turned its head. There was only vigilance and murder in its cold eyes. Its muscles were slightly tense. It seemed to want to stand up, but hesitated for a moment, as if it was worried about something, and finally did not stand up.
"Why doesn't Qilin stand up? Isn't the injury on its leg not serious?" Colonel Val asked hurriedly.
Wei Li said, "It's not serious. Maybe the effect of the medicine hasn't worn off yet, and it hasn't recovered its strength yet?"
Colonel Val was very nervous: "But when it sees people approaching, it should struggle a bit. Even if Qilin was seriously injured before, it would never be so relaxed with strangers..."
Wei Li scratched his head. He also felt that Qilin's behavior was a bit abnormal. Wei Li and his friends had caught Qilin once before. When it woke up, Qilin ignored its injuries and immediately rebelled in the ward. It also bit three or four railings and bit until its teeth were bleeding, but it refused to let go.
Compared with the madness last time, Qilin this time was indeed a bit strangely calm.
"Wait, what is that?" Colonel Val suddenly discovered something and exclaimed.
Because the camera can be raised, Colonel Val's vision is higher than Wei Li's, so he can barely see that Qilin seems to be holding something in his arms
. "What?" Wei Li didn't see it and didn't understand.
"It's in front of its claws, what's that?"
Wei Li tiptoed to look inside, but still didn't see it. He was about to go around and look to the other side, but he heard a vague girl in the cage suddenly say: "What's wrong?"
Then, a somewhat messy female head slowly moved out of Qilin's arms.
Wei Li: “…”
Colonel Val: “…”
Wei Li: “???”
Colonel Val: “???”
Mu Ling yawned, propped up her head and looked outside, and saw Wei Li standing outside the cage with a blank and dazed look. Mu Ling immediately waved: “Hey, Brother Wei, you’re here.”
Mu Ling greeted him and then climbed up from the belly of the giant tearing tiger. With her movement, the tearing tiger seemed to be unsealed. It quickly stood up and shook its fur.
"Ouch." Mu Ling was so ashamed by it that she quickly held it down: "Okay, don't throw off the bandages, sister will take a look."
Mu Ling patted the tiger's butt first, forced it to sit down, and then began to check the bandages on it. After making sure that the bandages were not loose, Mu Ling lifted the tiger's big paws and checked the gauze on its paws.
When she checked the paws, the tiger was unhappy and suddenly shouted at her: "Roar!"
The deafening roar rang out, and Wei Li outside the cage was frightened. The word "be careful" just came to her throat, but she was frightened by the next action of the girl in the cage and swallowed the words back into her stomach.
"Mua."
Mu Ling actually kissed the back of the tiger's paw...
Wei Li: "..."
Colonel Val: "..."
The Tearing Tiger doesn't like kissing, it uses its nose to nudge Mu Ling's hand to make her let go.
Mu Ling refused to let go, so it kissed her.
The Tearing Tiger was very annoyed, but there was nothing it could do, so it simply lay down, turned its head to the other side, and faced its butt towards Mu Ling.
Mu Ling laughed, rubbed the tiger's big head hard, and touched its butt again.
The tiger's tail was tightly clamped, and Mu Ling didn't want her to touch it, but she wanted to touch it. She had to see the wound, so she used one hand to pry open the tiger's tail, and used the other hand to tighten the medical tape near the wound.
During this time, the tiger used its nose to push Mu Ling's hand again, and changed direction, twisting its butt to the other side.
"Okay, okay, I won't bother you anymore, stingy guy." Mu Ling grumbled twice, and stopped torturing the tiger.
Qilin was satisfied, and lay down lazily with his limbs spread out, too lazy to move.
After Mu Ling confirmed that Qilin's wounds were fine, she said to Wei Li outside the cage: "Brother Wei, Qilin is fine. Are you here to take over my shift? What time is it now? Oh, it's only six o'clock."
Mu Ling glanced at the wristband computer and saw that it was so early, so she suggested: "Brother Wei, why don't you go back and sleep for a while, I'll just stay here, and come back at eight o'clock when I change Qilin's medicine."
Wei Li: "..."
Colonel Val: "..."
One second, two seconds, three seconds, the dead silence filled Wei Li's body for another three seconds before Wei Li finally found his voice again. He said with a hoarse throat: "You...why are you in there?"
"Me?" Mu Ling's fingers were not idle either, she was still curling the tiger's ears, and she said nonchalantly: "Oh, Qilin was noisy when he woke up, and he never stopped. I was afraid that he would move around and get hurt, so I came in and pressed his legs, but I fell asleep while pressing."
Mu Ling felt embarrassed. In fact, there were some things she was embarrassed to say, that is, she felt that Qilin's mattress was much softer than hers. Her mattress was one-layered and felt hard to the touch, but Qilin's mattress was two-layered, loose and cottony, and she slept so soundly!
In addition, the veterinary station also turned on the air conditioner. Mu Ling felt that if she went back to her room to sleep, she would probably be reluctant to turn on the air conditioner. It was hot at night in the summer, but staying in the veterinary station could use Qilin's air conditioning, which was a great deal!
Of course, Mu Ling would not say these things. She is a zoo director after all. It would be so cheap to say them out. She is really not the kind of zoo director who covets the air conditioner and quilts of animals...
Wei Li: "..."
Wei Li's mother tongue is speechless.
It's not... this... she...
Wei Li was dumbfounded and had no idea how to accept the situation in front of him. But Colonel Val in his communicator seemed to have finally figured something out. Suddenly, he had an idea: "Is this... fake?"
His father still couldn't accept that his Qilin would actually sleep with a human!
And he didn't eat her!
How is it possible? It shouldn't be like this. This is a Qilin, a mentally ill Qilin!
Moreover, even before the Qilin retired, or even when it was a child, it would not be so intimate with people.
Impossible, he didn't believe it, it was a special effect, it must be a special effect!
Mu Ling heard the stranger's voice, and looked at the camera suspended beside Wei Li, and was surprised: "Brother Wei, are you... making a call?"
Wei Li swallowed his saliva and nodded stiffly: "... Yeah."
Mu Ling suddenly felt extremely embarrassed, and hurriedly put on his hood, covered his face and said: "Don't take pictures of me, I haven't washed my face..."
Wei Li: "..."
This, now is not the point...
When Wei Li came out of the veterinary station, he was still in a daze.
Xiang Bie glanced at him: "Have you finished reading it?"
Wei Li: "..."
Wei Li's lips trembled, and after a long time of speech, he asked: "Brother Wei..."
"Yes." Xiang Bie answered directly.
Wei Li: "..."
Wei Li asked again: "Then she..."
"She can get close to Qilin." Xiang Bie answered again.
Wei Li: "But Qilin..."
"Qilin doesn't bite her." Xiang Bie finally answered.
Three sentences, three killer moves.
Wei Li was even more dumbfounded...
Xiang Bie said to the camera again: "Colonel Val, Qilin is very healthy now, you can rest assured."
Colonel Val opened his mouth, hesitated for several times, and finally said with great difficulty: "Well..."
Then he questioned again: "But it's really not a special effect? Is Qilin dead? You are not lying to me, right? You are not that kind of people, right?"
Xiang Bie: "..."
Until Wei Li went upstairs in a daze, Xiang Bie looked at the door beside him again.
God knows how complicated his mood was when he heard the tiger roar at around five o'clock and hurried downstairs, but saw Mu Ling chasing Qilin to kiss him.
He just came to his senses...
...The new director is very strange.
While the three men outside were doubting their lives, Mu Ling, who was still rubbing against Qilin's ward, had a new idea.
She fell on the mattress, looked at the big tiger sleeping peacefully opposite, and simply turned on the optical computer camera, using the first-person perspective to shoot the tiger, and dubbed while shooting: "Hello friends, I will show you the little tiger in our zoo in an immersive way. This little tiger is called Qilin, an eight-year-old baby. It was injured yesterday. Look at how many bandages it has on its body, but fortunately it is out of danger now..."
As she was speaking, the tiger suddenly opened its eyes, and its cold and ruthless eyes stared at the human in front of it.
Mu Ling pushed the camera in and took a close-up shot of the tiger's face. During this time, the tiger did not move, only its eyeballs followed the camera.
"Qilin, say hello to everyone?"
The tiger licked its nose with its tongue, closed its eyes lazily again, and continued to sleep, ignoring her.
Mu Ling was embarrassed: "Our little Qilin is a bit cold, but it has a very gentle personality. By the way, it is a sister." Mu Ling said, leaning forward, kissing the tiger again.
Qilin seemed to have gotten used to it, and did not even blink.
Mu Ling stroked the tiger's head again, and felt that there was nothing to shoot, so she had to end it: "Qilin is asleep, so let's sleep too. Do you like the little tigers in our park? Please tell me in the comments."
Mu Ling still had some ulterior motives in the last sentence, hoping to trick some comments.
After shooting the video, Mu Ling opened StarNet again and uploaded the video to the "Bic Zoo Official Account" that she had just created at noon today and currently had 0 fans.
Seeing the six words "Video under review" displayed on the background after the successful transmission, Mu Ling felt very happy. Now, their Piccolo Zoo's first video was ready!
