Su Xiaoxi took the stethoscope and listened to the heartbeat, observed the pupils again, straightened up and told the owner who was struggling to hold back the cry for fear of affecting the rescue.

"The cat is gone."

There was a sudden silence in the examination room, and there was no sound.

Mu Huainian stood by the door, witnessing everything.

Not long ago, she seemed to announce the death of the bell so calmly.

Even these two cats look the same in Mu Huainian.

"Doctor, can you think of another way?" The middle-aged man's voice trembled with a noticeable tremor.

And his wife also looked up with tears on her face and looked at Su Xiaoxi pleadingly.

Su Xiaoxi shook his head and repeated in a flat tone, "It's gone." ”

No treatment can transcend life and death.

This is something that everyone understands.

But it's hard to accept.

"Well, let me carry it home."

The middle-aged man was silent for a few seconds, holding his wife with one hand. The wife was still holding the cat's palm, feeling its body temperature pass away little by little, crying so much that she couldn't stand steadily.

"Okay, I'll clean it up." Su Xiaoxi cleaned up the cat's pre-dying incontinence before handing it over to the couple.

Before they could go out, another family of three came.

A young couple with a little boy of seven or eight years old is holding a Chihuahua.

"Doctor, could you please show me what's wrong with this dog? Pulling and spitting, the smell is particularly stinky! ”

In fact, needless to say, as soon as this dog was brought in, it could smell an obvious and special fishy smell.

Su Xiaoxi made a brief consultation and did relevant examinations, which confirmed the preliminary judgment.

"It is canine plague combined with parvovirus, and the cost of treatment may be relatively high."

The child, who had been nervous all the time, pursed his lips tightly when he heard this, and looked at his parents pleadingly.

The young couple dressed plainly and looked like ordinary workers.

The couple glanced at each other, the mother touched her son's head, and the husband sighed and said to Su Xiaoxi: "Okay, doctor, since you have raised it, it is a life, you can see how to treat it, and we will pay for it." ”

Su Xiaoxi nodded, stepped aside and began to give the dog the next step of treatment.

And the couple also brought their children to the door.

"Dad told you before that although you think it's not expensive to buy a dog for 100 yuan, you haven't thought about it, and raising it is not enough to buy it."

The child's mother also said softly: "I know, you feed it on time every day, play with him, and share your snacks with him." But raising a puppy, not that is enough. ”

"So what else is there to do?" The boy sobbed and choked.

"Responsible." The child's father spoke in a stern tone, but his voice was very gentle, "Being responsible for a life, you may not understand it now, but you have to remember it." This time, my mother and I will help you, but later, you have to understand what it means that you can be completely responsible for a life. ”

Mu Huainian had been standing on the edge of the treatment room, listening to their words with his eyes down.

When Su Xiaoxi was busy, before he could breathe a sigh, Gu Jing walked out with a suitcase.

"Doctor Su, look, seven. Let's put the cooler in the box tonight. ”

Su Xiaoxi nodded, "After the big cat is dealt with later, you can try to feed it." ”

The two discussed a few words, and Gu Jingcai took the newborn cat cub to settle down.

Mu Huainian saw that Su Xiaoxi had nothing to do now, so while she was drinking water, he slowly walked over and asked, "Are you tired?" ”

"Okay." Su Xiaoxi twisted his waist, "I don't feel it when my mind is highly concentrated." ”

Mu Huainian asked again: "Then do you want to stay here all night?" ”

Su Xiaoxi shook his head, "That's not necessary, but don't wait here, it's too late." ”

She was a little apologetic, "I didn't even pay attention, you're still waiting here." ”

Mu Huainian didn't mind, and motioned for her to go outside with him.

Su Xiaoxi put down the water cup and walked out.

originally thought that he was going to leave and asked himself to see him off, but Su Xiaoxi found that he was sitting on the steps of the door very casually.

Su Xiaoxi also sat next to him.

The summer city night was hot and windless, and as soon as he relaxed, Su Xiaoxi felt a little tired and yawned a little.

"I just heard a few words, did you hear them?"

Mu Huainian asked her.

Seeing Su Xiaoxi shaking his head, Mu Huainian slowly told Su Xiaoxi about the conversation between the last couple and their son.

Su Xiaoxi put his hand on his knee, held his face and looked at him slightly, listened very seriously, and then said slowly: "What do you want to say?" ”

Mu Huainian bent one leg, straightened the other leg, and looked up at the night sky.

"I'm thinking that not everyone will have parents who told him when he was very young that in addition to grades, there are many, many truths that need to be studied seriously and understood and obeyed in this life."

Su Xiaoxi lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly, "Yes." Some children don't have the opportunity to learn anything useful from their parents. ”

"Like me and you."

Mu Huainian took over the words very naturally, "As you said, neither you nor I can simply say that we are unlucky. At least, the single-round economy, the Mu family and the Su family, can already make too many people look up. ”

He paused and said, "But neither you nor I have the opportunity to be taught by our own parents, as you said, there are no standard answers in books, and schools have not taught even the most basic things." For example......"

He lowered his head and looked at Su Xiaoxiao, "How can you really love someone seriously." ”

To end.

In an instant, Su Xiaoxi had this one thought in his mind.

In the night, his expression was too serious, obviously just an ordinary sentence, but it seemed to be a thousand pounds, which instantly overwhelmed her.

"Still, I don't think it's too bad." Mu Huainian looked away and looked at the night sky again, "As long as you realize where the problem is, there is always a chance to change." ”

"Why are you talking about these ...... all of a sudden?"

Su Xiaoxi smiled dryly.

"It's nothing, it's just that when you work to save those cats and dogs, you're quite serious. It's a bit emotional. ”

Su Xiaoxi smiled: "That means that you are still a very kind person, and when you see the life and death of these small animals, you will also have feelings!" ”

Mu Huainian's tone was a little brisk, "Su Xiaoxi, are you satisfied with your work?" ”

Su Xiaoxi nodded without hesitation, "Of course." ”

In fact, there is no need to ask, Mu Huainian can see it himself.

Su Xiaoxi herself may not have noticed that when she faced those small animals, her whole person softened a lot. Even the pet owner is kind and pleasant.

Mu Huainian remembered that Su Xiaoxi always said that the more dogs he saw, the more he hated people, and it was reasonable to suspect that these pet owners were all stained!

However, he is obviously not the only one who can think of this layer.
