Chapter 649: Hibernation is not aware
Little Celery stopped crying immediately when she heard that the hamsters might not be dead.
"Brother manager, is it true? The hamsters are really alive?" her tears rolled in her eyes, ready to slide down her cheeks again.
"I think it's very likely, because unless it's poisoning, it's unlikely that they'll die at the same time, and they're supposed to be in a state of false hibernation. Zhang Zi'an explained the reason.
"Great!" Little Celery was finally relieved, she trusted Zhang Zi'an's knowledge of pets.
But Zhang Zi'an's expression was still serious, because he knew that although the hamsters were not dead, the situation was probably still very dangerous. Fake hibernation is the last resort for hamsters to save their lives when their lives are threatened by the harsh environment, and it is a big gamble that they rely on their survival instinct - whether they can wake up after false hibernation, whether they will become real dead, everything is ambiguous.
He glanced around, the people who got up early in the morning were still looking for the cats and dogs that had escaped from the farm, and estimated that there was no business today, so he said: "Little celery, I have nothing to do today, why don't I go with you to see those hamsters?"
"Yes!" Celery nodded heavily, "We also want to ask the store manager's brother for advice, because we don't know if the way to raise it is the right ......"
"But can I get into your school?" he asked, "it should be strict, right?"
Little Celery thought for a moment, "I'll ask Yaning." ”
She took out a smartphone with a relatively small screen from her schoolbag and sent a few messages to Wang Yaning.
Soon, she put away her phone and said, "Yaning said that she told the homeroom teacher to ask the homeroom teacher to help you report to the security guard...... Report something......"
"I see, let's go. ”
Without further ado, Zhang Zi'an returned to the store and greeted Lu Yiyun, asked them to look at the store, and followed Xiao Celery to her elementary school.
His stride is large, and one step is equal to more than two steps for little celery, who occasionally needs to run two steps to keep up with him.
On the way, Xiao Celery's worries were still written on her face, and she raised her head from time to time to ask Zhang Zi'an about the safety of the hamster. Zhang Zi'an thinks that the hamsters are currently in a state of false hibernation, but he is not completely sure whether they can wake up again, he doesn't want to lie to her, so he can only let her not worry.
After a visit on Christmas Eve, this is the second time Zhang Zi'an has recently come to Zhonghua Road Primary School, which is also his alma mater when he was a child.
At Christmas, it was a school anniversary, and many parents came to watch their children's performances, and electric bicycles and cars almost clogged up the street in front of the school. Today, the winter vacation has already ended, the school gate is deserted, there is no one, and the electric fence gate is also closed, leaving only a side door in front of the security room for entry and exit.
Zhang Zi'an's temporary identity is the guidance of the breeding class, and Xiao Celery and Wang Yaning's homeroom teacher have already greeted the security guards - to say why the homeroom teacher can trust a strange adult so much, because she was also Zhang Zi'an's homeroom teacher before. Many of the older generation of primary school teachers are like this, staying in one school all their lives, watching students go to all directions and become the pillars of the motherland.
Little Celery led him to the back of the school building. He thought they were raising hamsters in the classroom, but they didn't.
There is a row of bungalows at the back of the building, and the bungalows are arranged like a small garden - swings swaying in the wind, grape trellises made of thin bamboo poles, and a row of low bamboo fences to isolate it from the teaching area.
The bungalow uses a lot of tempered glass, and the interior lighting is very good, and Zhang Zi'an saw several figures busy inside.
Little celery knocked on the door, and soon, Wang Yaning, who was like a little adult, ran over to open the door.
She looked at Zhang Zi'an suspiciously, and said to Nunu inside, "Come in." What's the matter with you saying the hamster isn't dead?"
"Well, that's literal. Zhang Zi'an looked at the students present, including Xiao Celery and Wang Yaning, a total of 5 people, and the other three he had never seen, probably all of Xiao Celery's classmates, male and female. In the face of such a strange adult as him, the other children were very reserved.
"Where's the hamster?" he asked.
"Over there. Little celery pointed to a row of shelves by the window.
There are shelves of different sizes, including decent PVC hamster cages, which are bought from the market or online, small glass fish tanks with barbed wire lids, and bird cages made of wire for hamster cages, all of which the students must have brought from their homes.
The utensils were spread with half sawdust and half urine sand, and on the side of the sawdust lay a hamster, either a third-line or a silver fox, all of which Zhang Zi'an gave to the little celery for them to try to raise.
"Do you have a thermometer here?"
He asked, looking at the furnishings around him. As soon as he entered, he felt that although the temperature inside was higher than outside, it was still quite cold.
"No, what do you want a thermometer for?" Wang Yaning shook his head and asked rhetorically.
"Yes, hamsters are more sensitive to temperature changes. Zhang Zi'an explained.
Wang Yaning asked the others again: "Do you have any?"
A little boy took out a stationery box from his school bag, and when he opened it, there was a small mercury thermometer on the inside of the stationery box.
"Is this okay?" asked the little boy.
Zhang Zi'an took it and looked at it, don't expect this simple thermometer to be accurate, but it's still okay to use it.
The red mercury falls at about 17 degrees.
"The temperature was too low. He understood the reason and pointed to the scale for them to see.
"Is 17 degrees still low? It's not even 17 degrees at home!" Wang Yaning said, and other friends echoed.
Zhang Zi'an walked to the side of the container where the hamster was kept, leaned over to inspect it, and asked, "Why are you spreading half wood chips and half urine sand?"
"Because it's not easy to clean up if you only put sawdust, it's too smelly!" Wang Yaning replied, "We came up with a way, half sawdust and half urine sand, so that the hamster can go to the urine sand side when urinating and urinate, and come to the wood chips side when sleeping." ”
Zhang Zi'an shook his head, "First of all, the temperature is too low, 17 degrees is very suitable for people, but the hamster is not suitable for such a low temperature, it is best to keep it above 20 degrees; ”
"Brother store manager, you mean that the hamster is fake because it's too cold...... Fake hibernating?" asked Celery.
"That's right. Zhang Zi'an rolled up his sleeves, "Now you go and prepare something for me, let's revive the hamsters!"
