Early summer mornings are always brighter than in other seasons.

Seven forty-five a.m.

Zhou Xiaochuan, who had finished washing, had a bag of milk in his mouth and hurriedly walked out of the rented hut with only about ten square meters.

He ran downstairs all the way, not forgetting to say hello to a few familiar neighbors on the way, and finally stepped on the second-hand bicycle from the thrift market in the corridor on the first floor, left the leafy Baiguo community, and rode towards the flower and bird market in the southern district of Fangting County.

Zhou Xiaochuan just graduated from the Provincial Agricultural University this year with a degree in clinical veterinary medicine and is currently working at a pet clinic in the flower and bird market in Fangting County. Because he has not yet been admitted to the qualification certificate of practicing veterinarian, he can only be regarded as an assistant veterinarian. Fortunately, the owner of this veterinary clinic is a senior sister of the same school and department who is one year higher than him, so he did not treat him badly in terms of salary.

When Zhou Xiaochuan rode the second-hand bicycle that rang everywhere except the bell, and arrived at the 'Pet Home' pet clinic located in the flower and bird market, the time had just arrived at eight o'clock.

The prescribed working time of the pet home is half past eight, and the reason why Zhou Xiaochuan arrived half an hour earlier was to see how Xiao Hei's recovery was.

Xiao Hei is a dog, an ordinary earth dog.

On the night of a thunderstorm a week ago, Zhou Xiaochuan found it in a small alley next to the Baiguo community. At that time, Xiao Hei was scorched black all over his body, as if he had just been struck by lightning, lying next to a garbage can and struggling and wailing, and he could die at any time.

Seeing Xiao Hei's tragic condition, Zhou Xiaochuan picked it up without saying a word, and rushed all the way to the pet home where he worked, hung a hanging bottle on it, and applied ointment to treat burns.

Since that day, Zhou Xiaochuan has been taking care of Xiao Hei carefully.

It's a pity that after so many days, Xiao Hei's injuries have not improved significantly.

Bolting the bicycle to the yellow fruit tree on the side of the road, Zhou Xiaochuan took out the key and opened the roller shutter door of the pet home.

Since Zhou Xiaochuan came here to work, the senior sister handed him a pair of keys. Because that senior sister has a problem of liking to sleep lazy, she often delays opening the door because she oversleeps. In the end, she simply entrusted the key and the responsibility of opening the door to Zhou Xiaochuan, and she herself could sleep beautifully every day until she woke up naturally.

The area of the pet home is not large, only more than a few dozen square meters, and the staff in addition to Zhou Xiaochuan and his senior sister, there is also a pet groomer surnamed Huang.

After pulling up the roller shutter door, Zhou Xiaochuan walked into the treatment room quickly.

In this modest treatment room, several glass walls divide it into eight small reading rooms. In each small ward, there are corresponding exhaust fans and disinfection equipment to avoid cross-infection when pets are receiving infusion or surgical treatment.

In the small ward at the back of the treatment room, Xiao Hei, who was covered in burn ointment, was lying weakly on the metal treatment table.

Hearing the sound, it raised its head and glanced at Zhou Xiaochuan.

"How is Xiao Hei, how did you sleep last night?" Although he knew that Xiao Hei couldn't understand what he was saying, Zhou Xiaochuan still talked to it with a smile: "Come, let me see how your injuries are recovering." ”

After gently removing the scalding ointment that had been dry and hard, Zhou Xiaochuan's brows suddenly locked together: "How can this be?" After a week of treatment, the injury did not improve, but worsened......"

After thinking for a while, Zhou Xiaochuan could only shake his head: "That's it, I'll change the medicine for you first." If your injuries still don't improve in the past two days, then I'll take you to the big pet hospital in the city. With that, he turned around and walked out of the small hospital room and began to prepare the ointment for Xiao Hei.

Zhou Xiaochuan, who was busy, didn't know that Xiao Hei had been staring at him all the time.

From Xiao Hei's eyes, there are emotions such as emotion, incomprehension, hesitation and struggle. When it comes to the richness of emotions in the eyes, it is actually not much better than humans.

How can there be such a wealth of emotion in a dog's gaze?

Is it really just an ordinary dog?

Just when Zhou Xiaochuan was holding the prepared scald ointment and preparing to apply it with medicine, Xiao Hei's gaze also became firm.

Apparently, after a fierce psychological struggle, it had already made up its mind.

"Come on, Blackie, let's start applying the medicine." Zhou Xiaochuan, who walked into the small ward, said to Xiao Hei with a smile, and raised his hand to apply scalding ointment to it.

However, a change that Zhou Xiaochuan never expected suddenly happened at this moment.

Xiao Hei, who had always been unable to lie on the treatment table, stood up suddenly, and with lightning speed, opened his mouth and bit Zhou Xiaochuan's right arm.

An unprecedented heart-piercing pain came from his right arm, and Zhou Xiaochuan saw that the blood on his right arm was gushing out like a blowout, and a pool of blood formed on the ground in an instant.

"Why...... Bite me? Zhou Xiaochuan muttered such a sentence, and then his eyes suddenly darkened, and his consciousness became blurred, and then his body was crooked, and he fainted on the ground.

Xiao Hei, who was lying on the metal treatment table in the room, stood up at this time. The previous sense of decadence and malaise was swept away, and in its place was a menacing force that shook the world.

Although people can't feel this momentum, the birds, animals, and aquatic reptiles in the flower and bird market feel it. Without exception, they all fell into a state of extreme panic.

The birds began to scream and fly around the cage, and the cats and dogs and guinea pigs were not to be outdone, bouncing around in the cage like crazy, competing with each other to see who was louder and more poignant. As for the aquarium and reptiles living in the glass tank, they are vigorously banging their heads against the glass. I don't know if they want to harm themselves, or if they want to break the glass to escape.

This morning, which was originally relatively clean, suddenly became noisy and noisy.

For this change, people in the flower and bird market are panicked and at a loss. They tried to calm down the deranged animals, but to no avail.

Xiao Hei, who was standing on the treatment table, ignored the hustle and bustle outside, and looked down at Zhou Xiaochuan, who fell unconscious. Heavy breathing came from its nostrils, and there was a faint feeling of thunder.

After a full nine breaths, Xiao Heifang opened his mouth and spat out a small ball of golden light.

The small ball of light flew straight to Zhou Xiaochuan's body, and after circling around him for nine weeks, it turned into a golden light and shot into his mouth.

A flash of brilliant golden light immediately bloomed from the top of Zhou Xiaochuan's head, turning into a holy and noble nine-petal golden lotus, slowly moving down along his body while swaying pieces of golden light.

After another nine breaths, this nine-petal golden lotus disappeared on the tips of Zhou Xiaochuan's toes.

Just as the nine-petal golden lotus disappeared, the wound on Zhou Xiaochuan's right arm also began to heal at a speed that was within reach of the naked eye, and it completely healed in just a few seconds, without even a trace of scarring. And the blood that remained on the right arm and the ground also turned into a cloud of red steam at the moment when the wound healed, constantly churning, and venting through the ventilation fan in the small ward.

Xiao Hei, who spit out a golden ball of light, seemed to have exhausted all his life force in an instant, and lay weakly on the metal treatment table again.

Its breathing gradually weakened.

Xiao Hei, who knew that the time of death was coming, was not afraid, but a faint smile appeared on his face. Its eyes looked at Zhou Xiaochuan lying on the ground, with a hint of gratitude and relief in its eyes.

However, just as Xiao Hei was waiting for death, the brilliant nine-petal golden lotus actually appeared on Zhou Xiaochuan's body again.

Xiao Hei's eyes, which were already dim, suddenly widened, and his eyes were full of surprise and astonishment.

The nine-petal golden lotus swirled up, and with lightning speed, it sank into Xiao Hei's body.

Xiao Hei suddenly felt that he was wrapped in a powerful vitality, and the comfort was indescribable, and the injuries on his body that ordinary people could not heal at all actually began to improve and heal rapidly at this moment.

A strong feeling of tiredness welled up in the little black heart, and it could no longer hold it anymore, and collapsed on the metal treatment table......
