Chapter 054 Chapter 54
Seeing this message, Xiao Qingnang was stunned for a moment.
Acupuncture for cats?
How did this job suddenly come to me?
Zhu Jue, who was sitting next to him, was also looking at his mobile phone. Xiao Qingnang learned the details of the matter in a short while.
Although he is now studying Western medicine in a modern university, he himself is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and has spent half his life cultivating his knowledge. How could he give up all his years of accumulation?
Therefore, as early as when he just entered the dormitory at the beginning of the school year, in order to prevent his classmates from raising suspicions by prescribing medicine or performing acupuncture in the future, Xiao Qingnang had already made preparations in advance and told them that he came from a family of traditional Chinese medicine and that he was able to perform massage, acupuncture, and pulse diagnosis.
For this reason, at the beginning of the school year, in order to shorten the distance between dormitories, Xiao Qingnang took the pulse of each roommate.
Zhu Jue's girlfriend A Yan knew that he was proficient in traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, but the request to give acupuncture to cats still surprised him.
Xiao Qingnang had indeed performed acupuncture on animals.
He was a well-known miracle doctor, and when he traveled around looking for medicine, he only used the guise of a traveling doctor.
Xiao Qingnang had treated patients ranging from kings and nobles to the poor common people, and even cattle and wild dogs.
To put it in today's terms, a doctor who treats humans may not have seen as many animals as he has, and a doctor who treats animals may not have seen as many humans as he has seen.
Xiao Qingnang simply replied, "Yes, let's talk after class."
Today is different from the past. The development of modern medicine can advance together with the technology of ancient medicine.
Although he didn't know much about today's veterinarians, he wanted to hear some opinions.
On the other side, after receiving a positive response from Brother Xiao, Ah Yan immediately showed the conversation to Shunshun.
A Yan gave him a look and said, "It's stable. Don't worry."
After the 12th class, there were no classes in the medical school, so Ah Yan took Gu Jiasui to meet with Jue Jue and Xiao Qingnang.
The pet hospital did not allow them to give injections in the hospital for fear of responsibility. After examination, the other four kittens were confirmed to be fine. They were just born not long ago, and due to nutritional reasons, some were bigger than others.
On the way to Huihe, A Yan comforted Gu Jiasui.
"Don't worry, Sui Sui. Brother Xiao will definitely be able to cure it. He comes from a family of ancient doctors and is very powerful."
At this moment, A Yan was full of confidence. Xiao Qingnang replied to her message saying "yes", so he must really mean it.
Ah Yan has not had much contact with this person with a halo, but based on Jue Jue's description, the Medical Saint Xiao Qingnang would never talk big and would always keep his word. He would hardly joke around in the dormitory and was a very serious and earnest person.
Gu Jiasui nodded. She had an impression of the male classmate that A Yan mentioned.
Two weeks ago, the two dormitories went to the comic convention together. At that time, she only knew each other's name and that she and Ayan's boyfriend were in the same profession.
However, the name Xiao Qingnang seems familiar.
I seem to have heard it somewhere before.
After class, Yi Zhi was caught by the teacher again and had no time to join their action.
"Feel——"
As they were about to merge, A Yan waved towards Jue Rue. The two 1.85 meter tall handsome guys were still very conspicuous.
Xiao Qingnang was wearing a simple white shirt and gray pants, and carrying a backpack like Zhu Jue. He looked at the two of them and greeted them.
"Are we going to pick up the cat now?" he asked.
"The pet hospital doesn't allow us to do acupuncture there, fearing that something might go wrong. Cats are also not allowed in dormitories. I want to temporarily put the kitten at the association. The association has an office, and people will take turns to be there during the day, and there are surveillance cameras at night so we can see it."
"The association is currently considering finding adopters for the other four cats, and whether to keep them with the calico cat mothers." Gu Jiasui nodded.
Gu Jiasui showed him the electronic version of the pet hospital's examination report. Xiao Qingnang looked at the film and the diagnosis issued by the pet hospital and thought for a moment.
"Go pick up the cat first." He did not give a definite answer as to how the disease would be cured. Before he could cure his own "sick cat", other people's opinions and diagnoses could only serve as an aid to his judgment.
All five kittens were received. Since four of them were normal and healthy, and for fear that the paralyzed kitten would be squeezed, Gu Jiasui carefully held the box alone.
Ayan and Zhu Jue both have severe allergies. Although they both wore masks, Xiao Qingnang took the initiative to hold the box containing the four kittens.
There were four people in the car. He was sitting in the passenger seat. Ah Yan, who was sitting in the middle of the back seat, clearly saw that Xiao Ge's hands were constantly stroking the kitten.
It's a cat slave! It's even better! It can definitely be cured!
After a quick trip to the pet hospital, Ah Yan and his friends followed Gu Jiasui to the office of Binhai University Pet Association for the first time.
Here is the wealth accumulated by generations of members for the school pets. First, the four kittens were placed in cages separately. The pet hospital said that they were fed some milk cakes. Gu Jiasui recorded the feeding time on a sticky note and stuck it on the side of the cage. The kittens did not know when they were hungry, so they did not need to be fed for the time being, and the members who took over later would remember the time.
The four kittens went to the pet hospital for a checkup and had some food. Now they suddenly perked up and started meowing when they were put in the cage.
A Yan had to admit, well... the kitten's meow was a bit unpleasant, like it was howling.
A cloth was spread on the association's table, and Gu Jiasui gently placed the paralyzed kitten on it.
Xiao Qingnang washed his hands and stretched out his slender fingers to touch the cat's body.
He seemed to be "RUA" the cat, touching every inch of the cat's body from head to body twice.
The kitten was held in his hands, with an almost dull expression on its face, and no reaction at all.
Gu Jiasui waited with a nervous heart, until he finally put the kitten down and turned to look at them.
Xiao Qingnang has a gentle voice and his words make people feel extra at ease.
"Don't worry, it can be cured."
His current major is not veterinary medicine, so the information provided by the pet hospital can only be roughly understood, but this does not prevent him from making a diagnosis based on his own experience.
"First, acupuncture, then bone setting." As he spoke, he took out a cloth-wrapped silver needle and syringe from his backpack.
"Does the pet hospital provide food for cats?" Xiao Qingnang asked.
Gu Jiasui shook his head: "I fed it, but the kitten couldn't eat it."
"Then let's feed it a little. It's normal for normal kittens to eat milk." Xiao Qingnang knew that the pet market today was very broad, and cats and dogs were like family members to people.
However, nowadays, there are sophisticated methods for raising cats. Since he does not understand these, it is better to stick to the old habits. In the past, when there was no cat food, the cat slaves raised with fresh vegetables and fish also had shiny fur.
Gu Jiasui went to make a little goat milk, and Xiao Qingnang tested the temperature with his hand, and only sucked it in with a syringe when it was warm.
Gu Jiasui stayed closer, while Ayan and Jueju stayed a little further away to avoid getting sick.
There was no other way. The cat hair in the association's room was a bit heavy. The two of them were already starting to feel their eyes and throats itchy. If they stayed any longer, it would probably get worse.
Gu Jiasui watched as the kitten, who had been unable to eat and had no reaction at all in the pet hospital, was now very well behaved in Xiao Qingnang's hands.
He held the kitten's head with one hand, as if kneading and pressing some acupoints, and with the other hand he dripped goat milk little by little with a syringe.
Kitten, the kitten is moving, it is eating the milk!
As expected, the ancient doctor still has a solution. Gu Jiasui's beautiful eyes flickered, and she felt much more at ease. The kitten can eat food, and at least it has the physical strength to support itself.
Gu Jiasui watched helplessly as the kitten was fed the milk from the tube. The kitten seemed to become a little angry.
Xiao Qingnang's fingers gently kneaded the kitten's belly, as if giving it a massage.
"I have a lot of classes, so I may not have enough time to feed the kitten," he said to Gu Jiasui.
"I'll teach you a set of techniques later. Let's arrange a time to come over and press the acupuncture points."
Xiao Qingnang pointed out the location with his finger and asked Gu Jiasui to put his hand on the cat acupoint, then he took out a pair of surgical gloves from his bag and put them on.
"Sorry for being so rude." He apologized first.
Times have changed. The rule of physical contact between men and women is no longer applicable. Moreover, for doctors, gender should not be an issue.
However, Xiao Qingnang knew that Gu Jiasui was a "star" of today, and he did not want to be mistaken for a pervert who took advantage of him, so he wore gloves on purpose.
"It's okay, as long as you are normal." Gu Jiasui shook his head gently.
Although she was indeed a little blind, she believed that the male classmate in front of her must be a good person because of Ah Yan's assurance.
Anyone who can treat these little creatures with a gentle and kind heart will never be a bad person.
Xiao Qingnang carefully taught the kitten how to feed and massage it after feeding three times, and asked Gu Jiasui to demonstrate.
His voice was always gentle, but with a sense of urgency.
"Teacher, do we two need to learn it?" Ah Yan raised his hand silently.
"Forget about the two of you." Xiao Qingnang raised his head and glanced at A Yan and Zhu Jue.
The two of them had already started sneezing and wiping their tears with tissues.
Their eyes were red, and if you didn't know that the couple had an allergy, you would have thought they were crying together.
"However, I can give you two a few injections today when I have time."
"If you don't mind," he added.
"Ah?" A Yan was stunned.
Why do you suddenly want to give both of us an injection?
"Allergies are described differently in ancient medicine. According to traditional medicine, they can be treated with acupuncture."
"I think it's better than you taking medicine and enduring it."
As for why Ayan and Zhu Jue went to Bincheng in the south to attend college, they were both fed up with the willow catkins in Ningcheng!
Every year when spring turns to summer, Ningcheng is covered with white willow catkins, which cover everyone's hair and body. If that were all, it would be fine, but the two of them are allergic to them.
The most painful time is when I go to school. If I don’t take allergy medicine, I will feel very uncomfortable. If I take allergy medicine, I will have to endure the side effects of drowsiness and sleepiness. It is also very uncomfortable to attend classes.
Ah Yan looked at the needle bag that Xiao Qingnang took out and was a little evasive, not wanting to get the injection: "We can't use the same set of needles as the kitten."
He immediately laughed and said, "This set of needles is for animals. I also have some specially for human injections in my bag."
"But it's not very convenient here. You both need to be injected and slowly recuperate. It would be better if you lie on a hospital bed."
Listening to Xiao Qingnang's words, Ah Yan's focus shifted decisively.
He said that the set of needles he took out were needles for small animals, so the medical saint in front of him really can treat animals!
"If Zhu Jue agrees, I can get it done in the dormitory at night."
Ah Yan blinked and looked at Jue Jue. They had both experienced allergies for a long time. If the Medical Saint said so, it would definitely be cured!
For this...being pricked with an acupuncture needle is nothing, everything is for the purpose of curing the disease!
Zhu Jue held her hand, his eyes red from allergies, and said calmly, "I can do it."
Although allergies will not occur unless you come into contact with the allergen, it would definitely be better if they could be cured.
Xiao Qingnang smiled and said, "Let's get our bones fixed while we're at it."
Ah Yan looked at Brother Xiao and suddenly felt a little trembling. It felt like Brother Xiao had been itching to practice his skills for a long time and wanted to use them to practice.
But it’s free!
Medical Saint, free treatment! How can this not be considered drinking the soup?
I feel that I have built a good relationship with Dr. Hsiao during my four years at university, so that in the future, if the elderly at home have any problems or some geriatric diseases, I can always ask him for treatment.
After Xiao Qingnang said a few words, the originally gloomy atmosphere in the office became lively. Gu Jiasui's eyebrows were slightly curved, and a smile appeared on his face.
Xiao Qingnang glanced at her silently, curled the corners of his lips slightly, asked her to hold the kitten, and then took off his gloves.
"The kitten is currently unable to defecate on its own, so it needs to be changed and checked frequently. After feeding it goat milk, it needs to be massaged for about 15 minutes. Now I am going to give it acupuncture."
He opened the needle package and noticed that these needles were significantly different from the ordinary needles used for acupuncture.
Seeing Xiao Qingnang take out the needle, Ah Yan held his breath. Even though he was not stabbing himself but the kitten, why did he suddenly feel nervous?
Gu Jiasui watched as one needle after another pierced the kitten's body, and her heart seemed to skip a beat with every needle.
This little cat, only the size of a palm, was pierced half its body with needles, so densely packed with needles that the poor little creature didn't even have a chance to dodge.
The long needles pierced the kitten's body, making it look like a little hedgehog. It looked at Gu Jiasui, who was holding it down with a hand. The pair of heterochromatic eyes were enough to melt anyone's heart.
Xiao Qingnang's acupuncture speed is neither fast nor slow. It takes only a few minutes to complete. The needle is left in the kitten's body. The kitten does not move, and the person just needs to watch.
"Give it a name," he said suddenly.
Gu Jiasui was slightly stunned. He thought, if it was given a name, then it would definitely be okay.
She looked at Ah Yan, "What name?"
Ah Yan shook his head. "You can choose one. I'm bad at naming. The only names I can think of are Xiaobai, Xiaohuang, Xiaohua, Dafu, Doudou, and Facai."
If you shout these names on the street, many people will look up. They are really too popular.
Gu Jiasui gently stroked the pitiful little cat paw. She thought for a moment and then said, "Call me Pengpeng."
Before Ah Yan could react to the word "peng", Xiao Qingnang had already nodded.
He looked at the kitten with gentle eyes, "I will walk in the wild, and the wheat will grow. It will grow well."
Gu Jiasui glanced at him and looked at the kitten tenderly.
Yes, you little kitty who can barely move, please get well soon and grow strong and lush like the weeds.
The needle was left in for half an hour, and Xiao Qingnang took it out. It was already a little after twelve o'clock. They had stayed here for more than an hour. Today's treatment was over, and they had classes in the afternoon, so everyone had to go to lunch.
Fortunately, 34 association members who had finished their classes came back at noon, and the kitten was placed in an independent "ward box".
"Food and water have been sent to Orange and Sanhua's mother. Orange is fine, but the pretty little Sanhua is quite alert. I've never seen it before, and I don't know where Orange rescued the distressed cat." said a student from the association.
Over the next half month, Gu Jiasui spent much less time in the dormitory. Apart from attending classes, she would run to the association's office after class to see the kitten Peng Peng. Every day, even if there were no changes, she would take videos with her mobile phone to record them.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Even though every day is no different from the day before, they still persist.
Every time the kitten is fed, it has to be done by her or Xiao Qingnang. Gu Jiasui doesn't dare to let anyone else do it. One reason is that the other classmates haven't learned it, and also because the kitten is paralyzed, they can only watch from afar with distressed eyes and are reluctant to do it themselves.
The calico cat that gave birth to five kittens was successfully brought back to the office, where there is an extra-large cage that was once left behind. The four healthy kittens have grown strong and are growing up under the care of their mother.
Although the cat's mother resisted fiercely at first, after seeing Gu Jiasui and being continuously fed cat noodles and canned chicken breast, she would not even hit the four babies when they were being held and petted by their classmates.
All students in the school pet association have received rabies vaccinations, so they have nothing to fear.
Because the kittens were born not long ago, the classmates simply left Sanhua and the kittens in the office to recuperate.
During the acupuncture treatment these days, we kept them in cages to prevent them from running around.
It seems that because the calico and the kittens were taken away, even Orange has started to run to the office from time to time. He would sneak in on his own and not only eat and drink, but also often stand beside the cage and look at the calico cat through the cage, meowing and talking.
Gu Jiasui noticed that, except for the calico mother who was scratching the cage crazily in the beginning, now every day during acupuncture, she would lie at the mouth of the cage and watch. Orange was sometimes there too, but she never disturbed them, as if she could understand what was going on.
Ah Yan and Zhu Jue now have one more place to hang out, but they don’t come here often as they are still undergoing treatment for their allergies.
It was the fourteenth day of acupuncture treatment for the kitten Peng Peng. It was Sunday, and there was always someone on duty in the office of the School Pet Association.
Gu Jiasui has not left school for two consecutive weekends. Ayan and Juejue came over to watch today's acupuncture.
"It's moving!" Ah Yan exclaimed softly, and she held Jue Ruo's hand tightly.
"Am I seeing this correctly?"
"It did move. You're not mistaken." Gu Jiasui's voice trembled a little.
If Ah Yan hadn't screamed first, she would have been a little dazed and thought it was an illusion.
The kitten Pengpeng's legs, which had been stiff and almost unchanged, just began to twitch noticeably.
“Meow——”
This is not the cry of a kitten. A Yan looked up and saw that it was the mother calico cat calling.
It seemed to have noticed the changes in the kitten as well.
Xiao Qingnang didn't say anything. He continued to give the acupuncture. The kitten's tail suddenly jumped.
After the acupuncture was completed, several people reviewed the video that had just been recorded. Seeing the obvious movements of the calves and tail in the video, Ah Yan couldn't help but clench his fists.
"That's great! With acupuncture, I'm sure you'll be able to recover a little bit."
"It's only been half a month since I started acupuncture, and the effect is so obvious. You two are the real heroes. I have to stay here every day."
How many paralyzed kittens like this could receive such careful care and treatment if they were out there? Patience, care, love, and money are all essential.
Gu Jiasui only felt his nose tighten. The little cat's bright eyes were still staring at them blankly. He didn't know whether the little fellow knew about his change.
"Pengpeng works very hard. I just come here to get a shot every day." After the acupuncture, Xiao Qingnang was gently cleaning the ears of the kitten Pengpeng with a cotton swab and rubbing its little face.
"It's still the age...it's more difficult for classmate Gu to take care of him carefully." Xiao Qingnang said.
"It will get better and better." Gu Jiasui wiped the kitten's face gently.
It is mid-November now and the temperature in Bincheng has gradually dropped. The daily maximum temperature is less than 20 degrees. The short-sleeved shirts and skirts that I was wearing at the beginning of the month were all put away in the closet after a week.
As the temperature dropped, people became lazy. Ah Yan packed her summer clothes into a box and put it under the table of bed number six. Thanks to an empty space in the 320 girls' dormitory, it was much more convenient for the five of them. Otherwise, she would have to send them to Ningcheng's home.
"Sui Sui, if you are sure you don't want to go with us today, then we will bring it back to you."
Ah Yan was struggling with whether to wear a camel coat or a white coat. The Chu family restaurant quietly resumed business. Chu Shen said that he would serve new dishes, not just stewed potatoes with meat. She and Jue Jue were going to have a free meal today.
Gu Jiasui shook her head. She had personally taken care of a little life for such a long time, gave it a name, and watched it grow up little by little after being paralyzed, from being motionless to being able to move a little. She had never raised a child before, but now she finally understood the people who now treat their pets as their own flesh and blood.
She felt empty inside if she didn't see the kitten for a day. Even though she knew that her classmates in the association would take good care of it, she still couldn't let it go if she didn't go to see it at school.
"There are microwaves in the office and dormitory building. It's okay. We can just heat it up." said Gu Jiasui.
Recently, Binda's dormitory building has undergone some simple renovations. The old building from decades ago has been changed to a facial recognition access control system. Vending machines have been installed in the dormitory building, selling everything from sanitary napkins to drinks and snacks. There are also several microwaves on the first floor for students to heat up takeout food.
She looked at Ah Yan who was still tying her clothes, "Your peacock blue coat is very beautiful, and it suits you very well."
"Eh?" After hearing what she said, Ah Yan took out this one from the closet.
"I always feel that I can't support this color and I'm a little afraid to wear it." Ah Yan muttered. She felt happy when she bought it, but after wearing it a few times, she followed Suansun's advice and put it on.
The peacock blue color is very picky. Ah Yan wore a white sweater dress. The bright blue and white contrasting colors made her skin look even fairer. Instead of looking old, she looked extremely bright.
Ding Ling, who hadn't left the house yet, also gave a thumbs up: "It's very pretty and suits you very well."
Ah Yan believed in the choice of the two beautiful roommates, "Then I'm leaving."
Although the coat was a bit heavy, Ah Yan walked downstairs briskly. When she saw someone wearing a gray coat downstairs, her eyebrows knitted.
"Let's go, finally we can eat delicious food again."
It has been almost a month since Chu Shen closed down! During this period, Chu Shen was in school, and they had no fried rice to eat. Only now that the popularity has almost died down did he quietly go home.
It was a bit cloudy today, but Ah Yan was in a very good mood and took the subway to Chu's Restaurant in a familiar manner.
"Come to think of it, Brother Xiao is really a safe person." Ah Yan suddenly sighed.
As the two prominent figures in the dormitory, Xiao Qingnang and Ye Ping'an are simply the two safest people under the observation of A Yan and Zhu Jue, and they have not caused any incidents until now.
"Mr. Xiao lives a simple life. His daily route is very monotonous and he doesn't go anywhere." Zhu Jue thought for a moment and said.
Xiao Qingnang is either in the classroom, in the dormitory, or taking care of the kitten every day. He has no room to show his talents, which makes both of them feel at ease.
This has been the quietest half month in history.
"Juejue, the snacks we bought from there are almost gone." Ah Yan whispered to Juejue on the subway.
She secretly took inventory of the snacks from the interstellar space that she had bought at the canteen. Before she knew it, a month had passed and she and Juejue only ate a little every two or three days, but they had actually finished them all.
I don’t really miss the taste of these interstellar snacks, they’re just fun.
Last month, the two got up very early one day and deliberately avoided Lin Fan and Yi Zhi who were doing morning exercises in the playgrounds of the two districts respectively. Only then did they taste the Xiawu fruit with the flavor of the morning glow. It really had the flavor of "early morning", a little cold, completely different from the Xiawu fruit with the evening glow.
“Even if we meet by chance next time, Lu Chen may not sell these.” Ah Yan said, touching his chin.
At this moment, she felt a little regretful why she didn't buy more.
That Galaxy Cup and the like, opening blind boxes is a bit addictive. Ayan is really a bit "non-native". He opened it three times and got the guaranteed quantity every time.
"A female celebrity conspired to abuse a cat and stabbed a kitten for more than half a month. Damn, this person is too despicable!"
Ah Yan heard the young lady sitting on her left who was browsing her phone suddenly swear. She looked over and saw that the video playing on the young lady's phone was a very familiar place.
Ah Yan, I feel:!!!
Why is this their school pet office in this video?
And look, this angle was secretly shot from the door. The protagonists in the video are Sui Sui and Xiao Ge who are giving acupuncture to the kitten Peng Peng!
Oh my god!
The two of them immediately took out their cell phones. Ah Yan stared blankly at the video and the "big-character poster" that had been leaked from somewhere and was now trending on the search list.
#Gu Jiasui and a boy abused cats at school, Binhai University must deal with it#
#A female star abused a cat by injecting needles in public. The cat’s mother looked sad and heartbroken! #
"Oh my god, cat abuse is intolerable, and the cat's mother was watching in the surveillance video. It's too cruel. I can't bear to watch it."
"These celebrities look so good in public, but they are actually so cruel in private. Now they are abusing cats, who knows if they are doing anything else behind the scenes!"
"This seems to be an office. There are other cats inside. Oh my god, I can't imagine how painful it must be to get so many injections. The cat didn't move at all. It's so tiny. What a vicious heart it has! Women are the most vicious!"
"I used to be a fan of Lu's looks, but I quit being a fan and turned against him. I always thought that what Lu's fans said was just hearsay, but this video and surveillance are here. It's cat abuse. This is antisocial personality!!! Even Binhai University students will never tolerate high IQ antisocial people!"
Ah Yan: ???
No way, Xiao Ge and Sui Sui actually had a big incident together? Have you been accumulating strength in your aura during this period?
Wait, where did this office surveillance video, which was obviously pieced together from silent editing, come from?
