Wu Shan Street.

……

It was a terrible hot day in the middle of August, there was not a single wind, and the thick air seemed to freeze.

At this moment, there are few pedestrians on Wushan Street, there is no bustle in the past, and it is quiet and a little dull.

Xia Ran's animal clinic, located at the end of Wushan Street, is a small storefront, which has been simply renovated, and is very inconspicuous among many shops.

In the clinic, an old-fashioned electric fan seems to be a little older, blowing loudly, the wind is not too strong, in the sultry environment, the wind blowing out feels a trace of heat, soybean-like sweat runs down the forehead, neck, and the entire upper body has long been soaked with sweat. In fact, there was an air conditioner hanging diagonally above his head, which had been shelved for a long time to save money.

Xia Ran is an orphan, and his grandfather depends on each other, his grandfather is a veterinarian, under his influence, Xia Ran chose a major in animal medicine in college, and after graduation, he became his grandfather's assistant, and after his grandfather passed away, Xia Ran took over the animal clinic. This animal clinic has been around for many years, and the business used to be passable, deducting rent and various costs, at least it was profitable, but this year, since the opening of a larger animal hospital not far from his clinic, the business is not as good as before, almost at a loss.

Most of the animals in the family have a problem and run to the big animal hospital. Xia Ran is really a little frustrated, people have money and a more professional medical team, it is difficult to compete with others, not to mention that now he is still a bare-bones commander.

The hot weather made Xia Ran very irritable, thinking that the day after tomorrow was the time to pay the rent, in addition to being irritable, he had a headache, his store was not big, more than a dozen square meters, although it was not in the bustling section of Wushan Street, but the monthly rent of 5000 still made Xia Ran, who was now unable to make ends meet, a little at a loss.

Jingle Bell -

The bell rang.

Seeing the word landlord in the caller message, Xia Ran sighed and connected the phone.

"Sister Wang, hello!"

"Xiao Ran, don't forget the rent the day after tomorrow, 6 months, 5,000 rent per month, a total of 30,000, or call me directly on the card when the time comes!" Very capable female voice.

"Sister Wang, I-"

Before Xia Ran finished speaking, the landlord interrupted and said, "Okay, let's not talk about it here, I'm busy beforehand." ”

Xia Ran smiled bitterly, this Sister Wang is still as simple and capable as ever, I wanted to talk to her to see if I could delay paying the rent for a few days, but this is good, I didn't even have a chance to talk to him, I picked up my mobile phone, returned to the call log, and thought about whether to call back, and then dialed, hung up, and repeated several times, after hesitating for a moment, Xia Ran seemed to have made some decision, got up and walked towards a corner of the clinic.

There is an animal cage in the corner, which holds a not very pure Labrador, a month ago, Xia Ran picked it up next to the garbage bin at the entrance of the clinic, when he had severe hair loss, he should have been abandoned by the original owner, and now he is adopted in the clinic. Under Xia Ran's careful care, the hair loss has been cured, and the thick short hair on the whole body is golden and shiny in the sun.

"Little Er, you're getting more and more handsome now." This Labrador usually looks innocent and stupid, so Xia Ran gave it the name Xiao Er. Xia Ran stroked Labrador's head and looked at it softly, Labrador enjoyed Xia Ran's touch, wagging his tail gently, making a low-pitched "Wang" sound in his throat, and kept licking Xia Ran's hand, obviously this Labrador had regarded Xia Ran as his master.

"I'm not going to open this clinic anymore, and you should support my approach, right?" Xia Ran's tone was full of helplessness, in fact, he had this idea before. Judging from the reality of the situation, it is difficult for his very small animal clinic to continue to operate, the reality is so cruel, competition and elimination are inevitable.

Xiao Er's pair of dark brown eyes stared at Xia Ran as if he didn't understand, and barked a few times.

"I see. Okay, I'll go write a sublease notice now. Xia Ran muttered, hehe smiled, compared to the situation of difficult support, food and clothing are a problem, the best plan at present is to sublease the store and find a professional job again.

Xiao Er's body was prostrate, his head was on the ground, and he barked a few times.

Xia Ran shrugged, then walked towards the attic. The clinic is divided into two floors, the upper floor is used for daily residence, and the lower floor is used for business.

In the attic, dim light, small space, a bed, a computer desk, an old desktop computer and some daily necessities, simply composed of Xia Ran's bedroom, obviously he has not lived very well over the years.

After taking out paper and pen from the drawer, he simply wrote a sublease notice, and went down to the attic, Xia Ran hopes that someone will take over in the next few days, so that he can get back at least 5000 deposits, for Xia Ran, who is now in financial distress, 5000 yuan is already a large amount.

When passing by Xiao Er, Xiao Er's whole body suddenly stiffened, his limbs stretched out, his dog hair stood upside down, and at the same time, his lips rolled up to reveal his canine teeth, and he made a threatening "oh oh" sound in the direction of Xia Ran, Xia Ran looked back at the store strangely, and did not find any strangers, a little confused.

"Little Er, what's wrong?" Xiao Er belongs to the breed with a gentle temperament, even if he sees a stranger, he will not be as angry as he is now, and today's behavior is too abnormal.

Xia Ranyang pretended to threaten in a tone: "Xiao Er, don't scream, I won't give you anything to eat if I call again." ”

"Wangwang-" Xiao Er was still barking, as if he had seen something.

Just when Xia Ran was confused, a dim feeling of dizziness hit Xia Ran's head, and Xia Ran held his head in pain and fell to his knees.

Seeing Xia Ran's pain, Xiao Er roared angrily, frantically ramming his body against the animal cage, trying to break free.

The pain that Xia Ran endured at this time was like a sharp pain in the heart like ten thousand ants eating and biting him, constantly stimulating his brain, spreading to his whole body continuously, and a pair of tightly clenched fists kept pounding on the cement surface, trying to keep himself awake.

"Can't sleep! It's over when you sleep! Lao Tzu hasn't married a wife and had children yet! Xia Ran took out his mobile phone from his pocket with difficulty, and was about to dial 120 for help, Xia Ran was suddenly stunned, and a burst of electronic sound suddenly came from his mind:

"Ding-dong! The system is installed! Activate the system! Activated! Get up and running! ”

"What's that?" Xia Ran was shocked.

Not far away, there was an urgent inquiry: "Are you okay?" ”

Forehead?

This sound?

Little two?

Xia Ran's eyes widened, looking stunned.
