Chapter 566: Life for Life
Zhang Zi'an understood why Mai Suzuhara always said "Snoopy is pitiful", when she was actually referring to the beagles who died in laboratories around the world for the cause of human medicine.
In her lab, there will always be a Snoopy, the previous one will die, and the new beagle will inherit the name, and also inherit a similar fate.
Zhang Zi'an had heard that beagles were widely used in laboratories and pharmaceutical factories around the world, but after all, he didn't know the details and didn't have a particularly big feeling. Just like he said to Qian Bowen, this kind of dog is too affectionate, and in order to win the attention of the owner, he would even rather be beaten and bark, also because they are too affectionate, even if they are tortured in the experiment, they are infatuated with the owner.
"What a poor Snoopy......" Xiaoxue and Weiwei are even more related, and they can completely understand Suzuhara Mayo's mood.
Netizens in the live broadcast room stopped laughing and sighed for these beagles in the laboratory.
Some netizens have beagles, saying that they are going to add food to the beagles at home tonight, as a reward for thousands of beagles who died in the laboratory.
Lu Yiyun, who was concentrating on painting, raised her head blankly, she heard Xiaoxue and Weiwei sniffling, but she didn't know why they were like this.
Mai Suzuhara took out her mobile phone and flipped out the gallery, so that everyone present could see the photos she had taken before.
She was in the lab and she was very different from what she was wearing in a sporty attire now.
In the photo, Mai Suzuhara is wearing a blue uniform similar to a surgical gown, holding a cute beagle in her arms, and taking a selfie with the camera. Sure enough, as she said, this beagle is very similar to the one in Zhang Zi'an's shop.
Snoopy's eyes were round, and there was no sadness or pain in his eyes, only the joy of being with his master.
Another photograph was taken by Mai Suzuhara on the mountain behind the school, and the subject of the photo is a memorial monument erected by the medical school of her alma mater for the dead animals in the laboratory, which is solemn and solemn. The front of the stele is engraved with some Japanese characters, and Zhang Zi'an can only recognize a few of them. On the grass in front of the stele, flowers and offerings were sold, and a large number of students and seniors dressed in formal attire put their palms together and prayed with solemn faces.
A faint smile appeared on Suzuhara's face, "Data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services shows that animal testing has increased human life expectancy by 23.5 years, and this number is still growing. April 24 is World Laboratory Animal Day. On this day, professors and students from our lab come together to pay their respects at the memorial monument to thank the animals, including Snoopy, who have given their lives to prolong human life. ”
Her eyes became misty, as if she was staring at something far away, "Every time I am sick and need to take medicine, I feel grateful, and the small pills are thousands of Snoopy in exchange for their lives. In the new semester, I will be studying at Marina University, and in late April, when the spring flowers are in full bloom, I will go back to Fuso to visit Snoopy. ”
"I'd love to see ...... too," Xiaoxue said enviously.
Suzuhara Mayi solemnly bowed to Zhang Zi'an at 90 degrees, bowed his head and asked: "Please sell me this beagle, I will definitely take good care of it, and I will take it to the memorial monument to introduce Snoopy to it." ”
Zhang Zi'an is so big, he really hasn't been saluted so solemnly by a girl, and he is a little helpless as cheeky as he is.
This beagle is the only one in his shop, do you sell it to her or keep it for a small amount of money?
This is not something to think about at all.
"Well, it's yours. He said.
He didn't need to tell him much, after all, she had taken care of beagles in the lab for a long time, and she might have more experience than him.
"Thank you, thank you so much!"
She thanked her repeatedly, if someone who didn't know the inside story saw it, they might think that Zhang Zi'an gave her the dog instead of selling it to her, and Zhang Zi'an was embarrassed.
He opened the display case, took out the beagle and handed it to Suzuhara Mako, and then greeted Lu Yiyun and asked her to print out a pet sale agreement.
Xiaoxue and Vivi also leaned over, pinching its paws and rubbing its big ears. The Beagle's family attributes were revealed at this time, and he looked at the three girls around him alternately, as if wondering which one was his new owner.
Zhang Zi'an was sad from his heart, and he also wanted to enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by his sisters.
"What's the name for it?" asked Snow as she gently pressed her beagle's nose.
"I want to call it Snoopy. Mai Suzuhara said with a smile.
This answer did not come as a surprise to others.
Weiwei, who thinks she is insulated from cats, listens to the story told by Mai Suzuhara, and sees that the beagle is so cute, and she is also tempted to be interested in dogs.
"Mr. Storekeeper, do you still have a beagle? I want to buy one too!" she looked enviously at Snoopy in Suzuhara Mayi's arms and asked Zhang Zi'an.
Zhang Zi'an concluded that today was really Beagle Day, and only prepared a beagle to make him 200 million wrong!
However, in a responsible manner, he still confirmed: "Have you ever had a dog before?"
"......No," Vivi replied truthfully.
"Then I think you'd better forget it. Zhang Zi'an persuaded.
He saw that this girl was very quiet, like the type of lady who was everyone, and he probably didn't like to run outside all the time, nor was he an athlete, and the beagle needed a lot of exercise, otherwise he would become a demon who demolished the house.
Wei Wei sighed, she just said this on impulse, she listened to Qian Bowen's words, and knew that she might not be able to deal with the beagle. If possible, she would prefer to have a cat.
Xiaoxue guessed her thoughts, took her hand, told her not to be discouraged first, and then asked Zhang Zi'an: "Mr. store manager, do you know a lot, do you know that allergies to cats can be cured? Are there any home remedies or the like?"
Zhang Zi'an's face was full of black lines, "Do you think I am an ancestral old Chinese medicine doctor?"
Xiaoxue stuck out her tongue and said to Weiwei regretfully, "Sister Weiwei, why don't we buy a cat doll when we go back in a while?"
"Woo~ I already have a lot of cat dolls!" Weiwei said dejectedly.
Zhang Zi'an cleared his throat, "However, allergies to cats may not mean that you can't have cats." ”
"Huh, can you raise it?"
Xiaoxue and Weiwei asked almost in unison.
Wei Wei was afraid that Zhang Zi'an had misunderstood something, so she hurriedly asked, "Do you mean that Yun raises cats?" I am severely allergic to cats, and I can't even touch them." ”
Zhang Zi'an smiled: "I know you are allergic to cats, but not all cats can be allergic." ”
"And such a thing, and cats that are not sensitized?" asked Vivi in disbelief. If this is true, then wouldn't she have endured the days of loving cats for so long in vain but not being able to pet them?
Zhang Zi'an replied affirmatively: "Of course there are, in addition to ordinary cats, there are also hypoallergenic or even non-allergenic cats." Do you know why cats cause allergies? It's not because of cat hair that causes your allergies, it's because you're allergic to a protein in cat saliva, urine, and dander. Cats like to lick their own hair, lick their own hair or lick the hair for other cats, in the process of licking the hair, the allergenic protein in the saliva will be stained on the hair, and if you touch it again, you will naturally be allergic......"
With that, he glanced at the snow lion.
Recently, the snow lion, who has been addicted to raw brisket, realized that he hadn't tried to lick Fina's fur for a long time, and immediately meowed and stuck out his little tongue to Fina's tail, and Fina's tail tip felt the hot breath exhaled from its mouth, and sensitively flung its tail aside, causing it to lick empty......
Xiaoxue and Weiwei nodded as if they didn't understand.
"What about hypoallergenic cats and nonsensitive cats?" Weiwei didn't want to listen to these theoretical things, she was most concerned about what kind of cat she could have.
Zhang Zi'an replied: "Hypoallergenic cats are allergic symptoms caused by these cats, which are relatively mild and not so serious. Because everyone's physique is different, theoretically there is no cat that will not make you allergic at all, and the so-called allergic cat is to minimize the probability of your allergies, and almost no allergies. ”
"Which cats are insensitive?" asked Vivi nervously.
Zhang Zi'an pondered for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "As far as I know, there are three kinds of insensitive cats, the first one is more special, which is the Sphynx cat. This kind of cat is also called a hairless cat, because it has almost no hair on its body surface, and of course it will not lick its hair, and the allergenic proteins in its saliva will not get on its body, and it will generally not be allergic if you touch it, but if it licks you, or you come into contact with its urine, it will still be allergic. ”
Neither Weiwei nor Xiaoxue had ever seen a Sphynx cat, so they searched for it on their mobile phones, and immediately frowned and exclaimed, "This cat is so ugly! It's almost like an alien creature...... Even if I don't have a cat, I don't want to have a cat! I'll be scared in the middle of the night! Mr. Store, what are the other two cats?"
This reaction was expected by Zhang Zi'an, most people find it difficult to accept the appearance of the Sphinx cat, and girls with special aesthetics like Xu Junyu, the makeup artist of the crew of "War Dog", are a minority after all.
One of the great pleasures of having a cat is to pet a cat, a cat without hair...... What to?
"Actually, even if you want this kind of cat, I don't have it in this store. Zhang Zi'an shrugged, "The other two kinds of cats, one is the Athera cat-Xiaoxue, don't you know that Lin Qi? His cat is the Athera cat, and it is said that this kind of cat is not sensitized." If you want, we can provide a purchasing service. ”
"Lin Qi?"
Weiwei is a distant relative of Xiaoxue, and she also knows Lin Qi, but she doesn't know that Lin Qi is raising cats.
Xiaoxue shook her head mysteriously at her, telling her that it was better not to fight this kind of cat idea. As far as Xiaoxue knows, Lin Qi has been suffering from insomnia recently because of the Athera cat he raised......
Wei Wei couldn't guess what was going on, and planned to wait until she left to ask Xiaoxue in detail.
"So, what's the last allergenic cat?" she asked, crushing the last glimmer of hope.
Zhang Zi'an pointed to a corner of the store and said, "It's the Siberian forest cat." ”
