Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Be mentally prepared.
Everyone turned their eyes to Yunyun's leg, where there was a big gash.
Blood continued to flow out from the wound, and even the surrounding hair turned bright red, sticking stickyly to the wound.
Only then did Yunyun feel the sharp pain in his leg. His remaining strength seemed to be draining away bit by bit along with his blood. He subconsciously clung to He Jingyuan's arm, his whole body shaking uncontrollably.
"Senior, can you give me the first aid kit?" He Jingyuan was stunned for half a second and quickly asked Fang Die for the first aid kit.
Fang Die handed the box to He Jingyuan. He opened it and took out a bottle of saline solution.
Holding the cat in one hand made the movement inconvenient, so Lin Qian quickly cut an incision for the saline solution and watched He Jingyuan slowly rinse Yunyun's wound.
As soon as the water was poured on, Yunyun took a deep breath and retracted her legs.
"Don't move, I'll flush away the dirt and everything will be fine." He Jingyuan pursed his lips, his voice trembling.
He picked up the saline solution again. Seeing that his hands were shaking violently, Lin Qian grabbed Yunyun's injured leg with one hand and took the bottle with the other: "Let me do it."
Finally, he took out clean gauze from the medical kit and asked He Jingyuan to gently press the wound.
Fang Die asked someone to send an airline box over and put the rescued kitten in it.
The cub's tail was covered in blood and hung motionless on the ground. Currently, he and Yunyun could only be sent to the pet hospital.
"There's no cell signal, and I'm not sure if the veterinary clinic is open. Let's go check first," Fang Die said anxiously. "I can't get a taxi right now. I'll ask someone to ask a teacher at the academy for help. I'll trouble you two."
Lin Qian waved his hands hurriedly: "It's okay, it's what we should do."
Yunyun also realized that only the hospital could save her, and she would probably have to leave school for a few days.
He turned around and saw the cats standing there blankly, so he quickly meowed and called the little black cat over.
The little black cat shrank forward timidly.
The blood from the old thigh was everywhere, even on the human's clothes and on the floor.
The black cat was breathing with difficulty, and its hair stood up, but when it really got closer and saw Yunyun's wound, its vision became extremely blurry.
"Boss..." The little black cat held back his tears, "Boss, you will not die."
Yunyun no longer had the energy to play with it, and said breathlessly, "Come here."
The black cat took another step forward.
"While I was away..." the orange cat said in a fierce tone, as if he wanted to eat the cat: "Don't take away my territory!"
The little black cat, who thought Yunyun was going to say her last words, suddenly stopped feeling sad: "...Oh."
The little orange cat threatened fiercely, showing its white teeth: "Otherwise you will be finished!"
The black cat ran away in fear.
After seeing the calico cat family trapped, Fang Die arranged for two people to look after the kittens still in the classroom, and the remaining students went to look for other stray cats that were trapped.
Two cats, one black and one white, were clinging to their human's trouser legs for help, and Yunyun could only nestle in He Jingyuan's arms and wait for a car to go to the hospital.
The signal was interrupted, and the few people seemed to have returned to primitive society, and could only rely on running around to convey information.
Fortunately, a student asked the teacher for help, and the two of them got on the bus with the cat.
The situation outside is also very bad.
Fallen streetlights, large trees, and billboards have become obstacles. Even though people have started to clear the road, it is still difficult to move forward and people can only stop and go.
Yunyun lay in He Jingyuan's arms, looking at the street scene outside, her body gradually becoming soft.
The young man pinched the cat's paw pad, not sure if he was comforting the cat or himself: "It's okay, we'll be there soon."
After half an hour on the road, we finally arrived at the nearest pet hospital.
The hall was a bit crowded, with many people holding their cats and dogs while waiting for medical treatment.
There is no electricity yet, and the hospital can only rely on its own diesel generator to maintain its operation. Even the registration plates are handwritten.
It's really like when it rains it pours.
He Jingyuan and Lin Qian took the two cats to the emergency passage. As soon as they arrived at the door of the clinic, the little orange cat heard the screams of a puppy coming from inside.
Especially miserable.
Yunyun silently tucked her head into the human's arms, leaving only a pair of pointed ears exposed.
The door opened.
The kitten looked over quietly and saw a girl coming out with an Alaskan dog in her arms.
"It's okay, it's okay, Mom is here."
The huge Alaskan dog curled up in its owner's arms, making pitiful "woohoo" sounds.
Even such a big dog was made to cry!
Yunyun looked into the clinic in shock and fear, as if a demon would emerge from inside at any time and eat the kitten with bared fangs and claws.
He Jingyuan carried him into the "Devil's Cave".
The lights were on inside, it was bright, and you could smell a faint smell of disinfectant.
As soon as He Jingyuan put him on the table, Yunyun was so scared that she crawled forward and squeezed herself behind the computer.
The computer couldn't stop the cat at all. Its fluffy hair was overflowing from all over, and its big tail was still exposed, shaking from side to side.
"Is there something wrong?"
The young doctor who was repairing the kitten took out the defenseless Yunyun and immediately noticed the wound on the kitten's leg covered with gauze.
He Jingyuan said, "It might have been scratched by rusty iron. We did some emergency treatment before we came here. We cleaned the area around the wound with saline and applied pressure to stop the bleeding."
When the doctor lifted the gauze, he saw that Yunyun's wound was still bleeding, but not as terrible as before.
"It needs to be stitched."
The kitten looked terrified.
Sew? What kind of sewing...
The doctor picked him up and weighed him again: "Wow, it's quite heavy."
Yunyun: …………
"No, it feels quite light..."
Before He Jingyuan could finish his words, the doctor put Yunyun on the scale.
11.9 catties.
"You need to lose weight when you go back." The doctor said the most heartbreaking words in the most gentle tone. He looked at Yunyun's wound carefully and said: "It's a long-haired cat... This hair may need to be shaved off."
You want to shave my hair?!
Yunyun struggled to run away, kicking all the pens and papers on the table to the ground, and frantically looked for a safe shelter in the clinic.
But because Yunyun had no strength left in her body, He Jingyuan easily pressed the cat to the ground and saw that Yunyun's wound had opened again and was bleeding.
He picked it up angrily and saw a pitiful, tearful cat head.
The kitten's tears fell and it sobbed.
No! Don't! Shave! My! Hair!
Although his hair is very long and difficult to manage, he sometimes chokes when licking it.
But his fur is the most beautiful fur in the whole school QAQ
It is soft and shiny, like the finest velvet, and you can even fall asleep while touching your beautiful fur.
If you shave...
Yunyun shuddered, she could already imagine how ugly and disfigured she would be at that time, being laughed at by humans and cats in school.
He Jingyuan softened his heart, but Yunyun's wound had to be sutured, so he said firmly: "No room for negotiation, it must be shaved off."
The cat cried even harder.
"But I won't shave it all off for you." He Jingyuan kissed and hugged him lovingly, marking an area on his leg: "Can we just shave this area off?"
Yunyun stopped crying and took a quick glance——
Still looks so ugly!!
He Jingyuan sighed, but felt more guilty. He wondered why he didn't call a few more people to help. That way, Yunyun wouldn't have to risk her life and go in to save the kitten herself.
It's over now, there's no point blaming yourself.
He patiently reasoned with Yunyun: "Your wound is very large. If you don't shave it off and treat it, it will form a large and obvious scar, and this area will become bald."
The kitten twitched its ears in fear.
Seeing that Yunyun had listened, He Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief: "This is still the least damaging. If the wound is not treated, bugs will get in and you will get pus and get sick, or even die. Then you won't be able to eat delicious canned food anymore."
"Shave the hair off now and treat it. Once the wound heals, your hair will grow back."
He paused and inquired, "So do you want to shave it now?"
With tears in her eyes, Yunyun said, "Meow..."
Shave it off.
"When was the last time he ate or drank?" the doctor asked.
Yunyun doesn't like drinking water, and the last time she ate was before the power went out last night...
He Jingyuan hesitated and said, "I have another question. Last night, Kitty felt weak all over and almost fell off the bed. This morning, he started panting heavily after only a few steps."
"Weak all over?" The doctor was stunned for a moment. "Are you sure it started last night? Excessive blood loss could also cause the kitten to become weak all over."
He Jingyuan said firmly: "Yes, it happened after I went into heat last night, but I don't think this symptom is related to heat."
A male cat in heat can be very troublesome, and will meow all night long. But Yunyun's behavior is not similar except for the loss of appetite and stepping on the milk...
"That's hard for me to say." The doctor pondered for a moment, "How about this, I'll order a few more tests and see."
…
After the examination, the kitten was pushed into the outpatient operating room.
He Jingyuan sat on a chair at the door, feeling uneasy.
Lin Qian came over with some food and sat down next to He Jingyuan: "How is Yunyun?"
"It's okay." He Jingyuan said, "It's being pushed in for suture now."
The stitching was fine, but what made him most uneasy was Yunyun's sudden deterioration in physical strength.
He Jingyuan wiped his face and forced himself to calm down.
Don’t think too much, Yunyun might just be scared by the typhoon.
"It's okay." Lin Qian said, "The kitten's tail was pressed by the stone for too long, and its blood circulation was blocked. It has become necrotic and needs to be amputated."
Fortunately, Yunyun got there in time, otherwise it would not be as simple as losing a tail.
The two waited at the door of the operating room, and their cell phones finally had a weak signal.
Lin Qian hurriedly got up to report his safety to his relatives and friends, and He Jingyuan also received several messages on his mobile phone.
[Property Manager]: Hello, Mr. Xiao He! We apologize for disturbing you. Due to the typhoon, your villa faces the sea directly, and the strong winds have caused several windows to break. Several areas, including the living room and bedroom, have been soaked, and some furniture has suffered varying degrees of damage.
[Property Manager]: Because I can't contact your parents, I have to contact you to confirm the subsequent repair and handling plan.
A series of pictures followed, and He Jingyuan clicked on them to see that the floor-to-ceiling windows were almost broken because of the backflow of seawater, and the furniture was essentially submerged in the sea.
Yunyun was still in the operating room. He Jingyuan didn't have the energy to deal with these trivial matters and directly forwarded the chat history to his father.
This time, the other party didn't wait two or three days to reply.
[Dad]: Don’t ask me about such trivial matters in the future. Just give him the price for the repairs.
Judging from his tone, he is not prepared to pay.
He Jingyuan replied with a cold face: [This house is not in my name.]
Dad: Why are you so obsessed with money? Didn't your grandfather leave you three properties? A few years ago, I sold one to support my studies, and the other two are still there. We're all family, so there's no need to calculate so much. The most important thing for you right now is to study hard. Your brother is so ill that he might need emergency treatment someday. We can't trust outsiders, so we're relieved when your brother is the attending physician.
[Dad]: It’s not that I don’t want to pay, it’s because Jingyin’s condition is unpredictable and she is still in the hospital. Medical expenses in the United States are expensive, so I can’t pay for it for now. You have to pay for it first.
It's like this every time.
He said he would make up for it, and after that he used the matter of He Jingyin as an excuse, and there was no further news.
He Jingyuan stared at the message for a long time, and suddenly opened He Jingyin's circle of friends.
The most recent one was posted last night.
The signal was poor, and He Jingyuan waited patiently for a long time before the picture was loaded.
The boy in the photo looked somewhat like him, with slightly pale lips, but he was leaning on the leather sofa with a carefree look, like a spoiled child, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
His fingertips rested on his forehead, casually revealing the watch on his wrist.
He Jingyuan clenched his phone, saved the picture, and searched the current price of the watch.
Then send the picture along with the price to the man.
[He Jingyuan]: It's truly a developed country, the hospital bracelets are all Patek Philippe worth over 30 million [Like][Rose][Heart]
The other party suddenly became speechless.
The property manager sent another message: [Mr. Xiao He, I'm really sorry to bother you. Your father has contacted me.]
[He Jingyuan]: It’s okay.
The message was not sent successfully and the signal was disconnected again.
He Jingyuan put away his phone and closed his eyes, but he still couldn't calm the restlessness in his chest.
The door of the operating room suddenly opened, and the sound of rollers broke the silence.
Hearing the noise, he suddenly opened his eyes and rushed forward in two steps.
The kitten's anesthetic had not yet worn off, its pupils were slightly dull, and its pink paw pads drooped limply on the edge of the cart.
The doctor said that Yunyun needed to be hospitalized for three days for observation. He Jingyuan watched him being put into the cage and soon he regained consciousness.
But he was still shaky when he stood up.
The little orange cat looked down at the bald spot on his thigh, then slowly lowered his head to lick it, but could only lick the Elizabethan collar on his neck.
He stretched out his paw again to lick his white gloves, but he couldn't reach them.
Yunyun looked up at He Jingyuan blankly and started crying again.
fraud!
It's still ugly!
A bald patch looks ugly, and it looks even uglier after being sewn up!
He Jingyuan covered him with a blanket to keep him warm: "Don't cry, you can't eat for the time being, but you can drink some water."
Yunyun: QAQ
You are not allowed to eat anything.
The kitten in the cage next door had already started eating. Yunyun leaned weakly against the wall, her round face squeezed and deformed, secretly sniffing the fragrance of the can.
The little orange cat, who hadn't eaten since last night, took a deep breath.
Almost vomited.
Yunyun suddenly moved away.
The cans that usually smell delicious now smell fishy and stinky, making it difficult for cats to have a strong appetite.
Just by hearing this sound, the cat next door was eating happily again.
It’s over…
The surgery damaged the cat's sense of smell.
The little orange cat collapsed to the ground completely and continued to shed tears secretly.
He Jingyuan really wanted to touch his head, but he couldn't because the cage was blocking it.
He had no choice but to soften his voice: "Just bear with it for now, I'll take you home after you're discharged from the hospital."
Yunyun, who was curled up in the cage, had her ears drooping, but they suddenly perked up when she heard these words.
Are you really going to take me home?
"That house isn't too big, only 80 square meters. We've reserved an entire wall for your cat climbing frame." He Jingyuan rambled on and on, "There's a cabinet that's even bigger than the one at school, and it's filled with your snacks and canned cat food."
"We'll live together from now on."
Yunyun looked at him reservedly, but after a short while, she couldn't help but giggle.
The cat has a home!
He has been wandering around with his mother since he was a child. Every time he finally found a comfortable place, he would be driven away by bad cats or bad people.
Although I have a fixed residence now, there are too many people in the school, and they often disturb the cat's sleep.
but--
Yunyun suddenly frowned. If she lived with the sea crucian carp in the future, would the cans he owed her still count?
It definitely counts!
It is only right to pay back your debts!
Don't try to escape debt by raising a sea crucian carp.
Before she could be happy for a while, Yunyun became conflicted again.
If he leaves with Hai Crucian Carp, what will happen to his huge territory in school?
The kitten had a new idea every second, and was jumping back and forth between happiness and entanglement when the nurse walked in.
"Yunyun, you look so happy." The nurse smiled. "Is it because you saw your daddy by your side when you woke up?"
Yunyun:?
My dad, who?
He looked He Jingyuan up and down in horror.
You?
Feeling taken advantage of for no apparent reason, Yunyun angrily reached out to grab He Jingyuan.
It's out of reach.
The nurse stepped forward, opened the cage, and took advantage of the cat's distress to pull apart Yunyun's hind legs and insert a thermometer.
"Hey, let's take your temperature first."
The little orange cat was forced to remain in this position for five minutes. The nurse finally pulled out the thermometer and took a closer look.
He Jingyuan saw a slight daze on her face, but she quickly collected her expression and hurried out.
My eyelids twitched.
Not long after, she came back with a new thermometer and explained to He Jingyuan: "I'm sorry, the thermometer I used just now is broken. I may need to take the temperature again."
He Jingyuan nodded.
Another five minutes passed, and the nurse looked at the thermometer carefully with a serious expression: "Baby's temperature is a little high, I'll call the doctor to take a look."
He Jingyuan couldn't sit still this time. He stood up and touched Yunyun, but didn't feel anything unusual.
He pursed his lips, said nothing, and watched the nurse walk out the door.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Qian walked in quickly.
"What's going on?" Lin Qian asked anxiously, "Why did the nurse say Yunyun's fever reached 40 degrees Celsius?"
It was a hot summer day, but He Jingyuan felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on him and was shivering with cold.
Forty degrees, how could that be?
Postoperative resorption fever? Feline infectious peritonitis… or feline panleukopenia?
Neither look alike.
He Jingyuan stared at the kitten with a distracted look in his eyes. All kinds of sounds seemed to be blocked by a layer of frosted glass in his ears, blurry and unreal.
Doctors and nurses came in and out, and He Jingyuan slowly raised his head until the doctor asked him to follow him out.
"Yunyun's parents." The doctor hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "You may need to be mentally prepared."
