nephew please eat

Chapter 6

It was very cold outside.

In the middle of winter in Beijing, a drop of water turns into ice.The north wind is like a knife, and when it blows, it looks like cutting flesh.Liu Xiao and Chuchenzi didn't wear much, and ran into the store as soon as they left the unit, the north wind was pressing, and they couldn't run fast.After finally running to the door of the store, a girl in a black down jacket was waiting at the door, with her boyfriend standing beside her.Liu Xiao ran up to the girl, and the girl opened the skirt of the down jacket, revealing what was wrapped in a gray-blue scarf——

Liu Xiao was stunned to realize that the one that was completely stained with blood and mud was a dog.

"Come in!" He unlocked the door and called the other three people in.

There is heating in the store, so it is not so cold.Liu Xiao took off his down jacket and threw it aside, took the dog from the girl, and put it on the operating table beside him.Both of the dog's front legs were crushed and could not be saved but had to be amputated; the hind legs were fine but fractured.The profuse bleeding made his breathing weak, his eyes could not be opened, his tongue was sticking out, and he gasped for breath.And I don't know how long it took for it to be discovered after it was hit. The blood had already condensed in the temperature of minus ten degrees, and mixed with the soil to form large blood scabs.

The girl who brought it here was an acquaintance of Liu Xiao. In order to keep the dog warm, she hugged the dog in her arms. The underwear and coat were stained with blood, and she could no longer wear it.She didn't care at all. She stared at the dog on the operating bed and asked, "Is it serious? Can it be saved?"

"I'll find out after the inspection." Liu Xiao pointed to a small box next to him, and called out Chenzi to give it to him. "There's too much bleeding, it's not easy to handle, and..." He pressed the dog's stomach again, and the inside was hard. , as if he could feel the squirm of life, "Stop the bleeding first."

He is skilled, he injected a hemostatic needle, bandaged the wound in twos and twos, and connected the dog to a monitor at the same time.The dog is already in a state of semi-shock, and the conjunctiva shows a gray failure with rapid loss of vitality.It stands to reason that after hemostasis, the dog's vital signs should stabilize, but after more than ten seconds, the monitor suddenly burst into piercing screams.

"Beep beep-"

"What's wrong?" the girl who brought the dog asked anxiously.

Liu Xiao glanced at the machine, and picked up the dog with both hands: "The blood pressure has dropped sharply, and there may be bleeding points in its body."

This is one of the most vexing situations and how many dogs have died on this after a car accident.Liu Xiao hugged the dog and went to the B-ultrasound machine, Chu Chenzi had just turned on the B-ultrasound machine.Liu Xiao put the dog on it, pressed a few buttons, and after a while, the video came out.

Liu Xiao frowned, his expression unprecedentedly serious.

He carried the dog back to the cleaned operating bed. When he put it down, he slightly touched the dog's severed limb. It must have hurt, but the dog was too weak to make a sound.Liu Xiao directed Chen Zi to get the surgical gown, and he took one and put it on himself. While putting it on, he walked out of the operating room, handed the film to the girl at the opposite door, and said, "The situation is not optimistic."

The girl looked at him incomprehensibly.

"It has a large amount of blood in the abdominal cavity. It is suspected to be liver rupture or kidney rupture. It needs to be quickly opened for examination. If it is true, the blood vessels must be ligated and the organs removed." Liu Xiao also did not hide it. In this case, concealing it would waste time , "But there are four puppies in her womb, and they are about to give birth. If the organs are to be removed, it will take a lot of time, and it may cause the puppies to suffocate to death. However, regardless of the bleeding point, if the big dog is delivered first, maybe the puppies will die. If the dog's life is saved, the big dog will die due to excessive blood loss. You have to make a decision for me, whether to keep the big dog or the young one?"

"What do you mean?" The girl was stunned for a moment, her eyes panicked, and she subconsciously asked her boyfriend for help, "Can't both be saved?"

The boyfriend also said: "Doctor Liu, we will pay for how much money we need. You don't have to worry about it. Can you save the lives of big dogs and puppies?"

"It's not a matter of money." Liu Xiao said, "I will do my best to save the lives of big dogs and puppies when I am on the operating table, but the problem now is that it is very likely that I can't take care of both. Whoever it comes over, I must ask you for advice."

The girl held the film tightly in her hand, even if she understood it, she still couldn't believe it: "But...how can we..."

Liu Xiao looked at her red eyes, and didn't know what to say to comfort her.

The boyfriend hugged her shoulders, whispered a few words of comfort, and looked up at Liu Xiao: "Doctor Liu, do you recommend keeping the older one or the younger one?"

Liu Xiao opened his mouth, but swallowed everything before he could speak.

This choice was too difficult for Liu Xiao.There are fresh lives on both sides, how can one of them be determined to live or die with just a few words in these two minutes?Liu Xiao turned his head and looked at the stray dog ​​lying quietly on the operating bed through the window of the operating room...

All things have spirits, at that moment, as if sensing Liu Xiao's gaze, the dog opened its eyes with effort, and looked towards Liu Xiao as well.

It moved its crushed front legs, as if pleading, and tapped its bloody paw wrapped in gauze on its chest.

A little further down is the position of the belly, where its child is conceived.

"Doctor Liu, please save their lives, if..." Everyone saw the dog's begging, which prompted the girl to grit her teeth and make that difficult decision, "If you have to choose a side ...Save the puppy!"

Liu Xiao nodded, turned and returned to the operating room.

Together with Chu Chenzi, he fixed the dog's limbs, then he marked out several places on the dog's body, and called Chu Chenzi to shave off the dog's hair.He first injected the dog with a certain dose of anesthetic, then pulled through the breathing anesthesia machine and inserted the tube into the dog's mouth.Under the effect of double anesthesia, the dog completely fell into shock, allowing Liu Xiao to fiddle with it, only occasionally twitching instinctively due to excessive blood loss.Liu Xiao connected a series of instruments for monitoring heartbeat, blood oxygen and other bodily functions. Finally, he turned his head and took out a scalpel from the plate beside him.

In the five years of practice, he has performed hundreds of large and small operations, but this time, he hesitated a little, as if the knife had a great deal of power, and the matter was of great importance.

Almost subconsciously, he looked up at Chu Chenzi, hoping to find some comfort, and at the same time, Chu Chenzi looked at him too.

Both wore masks, with only their eyes exposed, conveying each other's emotions.Liu Xiao clenched the scalpel tightly, and pretended to be relaxed: "Master, the Buddha said that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Do you also have such a saying in Taoism?"

"Yes. Saving people's lives is a great merit in any religion, and saving dogs is the same." Chu Chenzi said, "Liu Xiao, you will be rewarded with good fortune."

"Really?" Liu Xiao smiled, "If it's really a blessing, please protect their mother and child for me."

The blade cut through the flesh, and Liu Xiao began his operation.

The scalpel cut open the dog's chest along the midline of the abdomen, and then cut the peritoneum. Almost at the same time, a large bubble of blood gushed out. B-ultrasound has long shown that there is a large amount of blood in the dog's abdominal cavity, but the actual situation is more serious than what is shown on the film.The situation was urgent, and Chu Chenzi's temporary assistant turned out to be very reliable. As soon as Liu Xiao raised his hand, he handed over the tube of the aspirator, and the posture was correct and the timing was right.Normally, Liu Xiao would definitely praise others, but now he didn't have time or care, so he lowered his head and inserted the end of the tube into the dog's abdominal cavity.

The accumulated blood was sucked away along the pipe, but the scalding blood was still coming out continuously.Liu Xiao bent his body slightly, concentrating on finding the bleeding point in the dog's body.He kept silently chanting God bless Bodhisattva bless Daluo Jinxian bless in his heart, after a few tens of seconds, he found the bleeding point, it was on the liver.

A ruptured liver is just one of the worst things to happen.

Chu Chenzi couldn't see what a ruptured liver was, but he saw Liu Xiao close his eyes hard, which meant something self-evident.Taoism also cares about the common people and helps all things. Chu Chenzi couldn't help but feel sad for this dog.

But now is not the time to be sad, Liu Xiao is also sad, but he has more important things to do.Instead, he concentrated on performing a caesarean section on the dog, hoping to save as many lives as possible within a limited time.The dog's uterus is like a tree branch that separates the two sides. The four puppies sleep peacefully on the tree branch, like four lovely fruits.Liu Xiao pinpointed the position of the cervix, cut the dog's cervix with precision and sharpness, then reached in with his hand, and carefully grabbed one of them.

He gently pulled the puppy out.

The puppy is wrapped in the placenta, which is filled with amniotic fluid like a water-filled balloon.Liu Xiao tore open the placental membrane, and the amniotic fluid flowed out, revealing the wet puppy inside.It was too small, not as big as an adult man's clenched fist. Liu Xiao cut the umbilical cord with scissors, picked up the gauze next to it to wipe off the amniotic fluid near the puppy's nose, and then handed over such a small puppy to Chu Chenzi. In your hands: "Let the puppy lie on your palm, with the head facing the tip of your finger, and then wipe it with gauze, vigorously, from the neck to the spine. Wipe it quickly when you see the amniotic fluid gushing out of the nose and mouth. Drop it, remember, keep wiping it off!"

"Until when?" Chu Chenzi asked.

"All the amniotic fluid wiped into its lungs will come out, until it barks!" After Liu Xiao finished speaking, he bent down again and began to deliver the second puppy.

The newborn puppy is as soft as a ball of cotton, its eyes are tightly closed, so fragile, as if it can hurt it with a single breath, but it needs to be wiped vigorously with gauze if it is dusty.Chu Chenzi couldn't let go, he was a little scared, he couldn't grasp the strength well, the first few strokes were too light, like scratching, Liu Xiao saw it, and told him to use more strength angrily.Chu Chenzi had no choice but to add [-]% of the force, but found that it was useless, and then added [-]% of the force.According to what Liu Xiao said, he rubbed the amniotic fluid on the dog's body vigorously along the spine, and gradually he no longer cared about using a little force.Amniotic fluid gushed out of the puppy's mouth and nose, and he wiped it off when he saw it, and wiped it off again when he saw it, for a long time, until he felt a slight soreness in his arm, and the nose of the little thing in his palm suddenly moved slightly.

"Ugh..."

Chu Chenzi thought he was hallucinating, so he put his ear close to the puppy, and then heard a small but sharp howl: "Wooooooo!"

"It's alive!" Chuchenzi exclaimed.

Liu Xiao gave him approving glances, then urged him to put the puppy in the incubator, and then hurriedly wiped the amniotic fluid on another puppy.So far, the two cooperated perfectly, one delivered the baby, and the other woke up the puppies. Not long after, all four puppies were born safely.

At this time, the situation of the big dog is not so good.

The blood pressure dropped rapidly, the blood oxygen concentration also dropped extremely rapidly, and the alarms of various instruments in the operating room were buzzing, which was unprecedented in Liu Xiao's five-year career as a veterinarian.The big dog probably won't survive, but Liu Xiao refuses to accept it, he still wants to fight.He put the dog on oxygen and turned to the liver wound.His eyes were sharp, his movements were fast, as if he was racing against death, and he quickly made preparations for the organ removal.Come on, he said to the big dog in his heart, come on, hold on, wait for me...

But the big dog couldn't wait any longer, and at the moment when he crossed the scalpel to remove the organ, the blood pressure of the big dog dropped to the lowest point, the heartbeat stopped, and the god of death won the victory.

Liu Xiao stared blankly at the big dog lying on the operating table, and Chu Chenzi looked at him quietly.He felt that he should say something to comfort Liu Xiao, but before he could say anything, Liu Xiao took a deep breath and walked out of the operating room.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't save the big dog." Liu Xiao's voice was hoarse but steady.

The girl was very uncomfortable, but she watched the whole rescue process, and she was very grateful to Liu Xiao: "Don't talk about Doctor Liu like that, you did your best, thank you!"

The girl took away the still warm body of the big dog and still wrapped it in the gray-blue scarf she brought. She said she would find a beautiful park with flowers and trees to bury it.Miraculously, all four puppies survived. They slept in the incubator. Because their mother passed away and had no breast milk, experienced Liu Xiao offered to take care of them.

After Liu Xiao disinfected himself, he sent the girl and her boyfriend out.As soon as he walked out, he realized that the sky was turning white, and it was almost dawn.It was such a chaotic night, with great sorrow accompanied by great joy, and the death of life accompanied by the birth of life. Liu Xiao leaned against the door, staring blankly at the gradually brightening sky, and suddenly felt a light pat on his shoulder. for a moment.

"How is it?" Chu Chenzi asked, "Are you okay?"

Liu Xiao shrugged his shoulders: "It's okay. I'm a veterinarian, and I've seen this kind of thing a lot. You know that animals are much more likely to die than people, especially this kind of stray dog. Few live long. Although I understand, But it doesn't mean that I can be indifferent to this kind of thing. Especially... it died in front of me, and I tried my best to save it, so I have no regrets, but I am very sorry."

"But because of you, its life can continue, isn't it?" Chuchenzi asked back.

Liu Xiao smiled.

"It's also thanks to you." He carried the incubator over, pulled out the dust and sat down on the chair at the door, and put the incubator on the table in front of him, "Give them a name, uncle. "

Picking a name, it's hard to break the dust.He looked at Liu Xiao in embarrassment, but Liu Xiao had an encouraging face, as if he had to.How could such a big matter as choosing a name be thought out in a hurry.Chuchenzi furrowed his slender eyebrows fiercely, sorrow was almost etched into his eye sockets.He lowered his head, pressed his face against the lid of the incubator, and forced himself to mobilize every cell to think in this way of squashing all the five sense organs.

But Chuchenzi was about to die of worry, but the four puppies were sleeping soundly.They just drank milk powder, their stomachs are full, and their bellies are bulging like four little balls.These four little leather balls are stretched out, one is resting on the other's stomach, and the other is holding on to this's hind leg, sleeping in a ball.One of them didn't know if it dreamed of something super interesting, but it shook its tail and accidentally brushed the other's nose.

"Wang Chirp~"

The little dog snorted softly and sneezed indistinctly, but fell asleep again without waking up.

Chu Chenzi couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth.

He raised his head and smiled at Liu Xiao in the faint morning light.

"As a parent, you don't really want your children to be rich or famous, and you can even tolerate all the shortcomings and shortcomings of your children. The only thing you want is peace and joy." He pointed to the four children in the box. The puppy said, "Let's call them this - Ping, An, Xi, Le."

Liu Xiao smiled, lowered his head and said softly, "It's great, you guys have names."

The two sat together in front of the pet shop, quietly watching the morning sun leaping out from the east. The people who got up early and did morning exercises hadn't gone out yet, and the office workers were enjoying their last hour of sleep. Accompanying the city in the silence to start this ordinary and extraordinary day.

Until Liu Xiao quietly sat close to Chu Chenzi and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Chu Chenzi turned his head, not surprised when Liu Xiao got so close to him, but raised his eyebrows in confusion.

Liu Xiao said: "During the operation just now, I thought you were weak and treated you very fiercely..."

"What's there to be sorry about? I really don't dare to do it. If you don't yell at me, the dog's life may be delayed by me. And..." I don't know if it's a problem with the light and angle, but the dusty face A little red, "I didn't expect you to be quite handsome when you shout."

Liu Xiao's brain suddenly froze.

He suddenly remembered the moment when they were close to each other last night, when Chu Chenzi's lips moved a little, it could be branded between his brows, and there was a little sandalwood scent on his body, which made him confused and fascinated.

"Uncle Master..."

He subconsciously called out Chenzi, but Chuchenzi didn't respond, but slowly approached him.Each other's faces are magnified and magnified in each other's eyes, and what will happen in the next second is self-evident.Liu Xiao closed his eyes nervously, his heart was beating like a drum, and he even pouted his lips a little, so that he could kiss him easily.But one second, three seconds, ten seconds... Liu Xiao opened his eyes and found Chu Chenzi sitting back in his original position, nothing happened.

"The back of your neck..." Chuchenzi rolled a long and thin white unidentified object with his fingertips, with a concentrated expression, as if he was carefully studying what it was, "There is a small piece of toilet paper...is it just wiped sweat with a paper towel?" When did it get on?"

Turns out he just wanted to...

Liu Xiao was greatly disappointed, but at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.He quietly let go of his clenched fist, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, it is very possible."

So Chuchenzi also quietly relaxed his shoulders, heaving a sigh of relief in his heart.
