Chapter 1695 : Chapter 1695 -unreasonableLittle celery was worried that her mother wouldn’t agree, so she stole a glance at her mother’s face.
Cai meiwen frowned. No matter what, it wasn’t appropriate for her to object to such a loving act of saving small animals. She only said,””This cat doesn’t look very clean. You have to wash your hands later.”
Little celery nodded quickly.
Taking advantage of his temporary free hands, Zhang Zian found a dry towel and dried Vladimir’s hair, which was drenched like a drenched chicken, in case it caught a cold and fell sick, as its physical strength had not yet fully recovered. The hairdryer could not be used, so he could only wipe the outer layer of hair randomly. He could not do anything about the deeper layers of hair.
Vladimir didn’t let him wipe it for too long and said in resistance,””It’s more important to save it first, I’m fine!”
Zhang Zian had to find another dry towel and let it wrap its body.
The generator in the aquarium next door didn’t have enough power, so it could only maintain the operation of low-power equipment such as the water pump and oxygen pump. Otherwise, boiling a pot of water at the last minute might solve the urgent need. Now, they could only use the most primitive method to keep the stray cat warm.
Zhang Zian pretended to talk to himself,””I wonder how the other stray cats are doing in this terrible weather …”
He was actually asking Vladimir in an obscure way.
Vladimir’s heart was heavy.”I have asked all the stray cats in the city to run to a safe high place to take refuge, such as the corridors of high-rise residences or high-rise buildings under construction. They must be strong and can shelter from the rain. If it really can’t be done, even if they are thick-skinned and go into other people’s houses, it will be fine, but definitely not all cats can make it in time … I met this guy on the road. It seems to have been hit by a falling branch.”
It couldn’t be helped. Even humans couldn’t prepare for this sudden Typhoon, not to mention stray cats. However, stray cats also had their advantages. They had strong climbing abilities and a soft body that allowed them to squeeze into narrow gaps. As long as they could climb to high places, they would not be washed away by the sewage.
It was not clear what the situation of the stray dogs in the suburbs was like. The stray dogs were big and strong, and they were used to the wind and rain. When their fur was soaked in water, they would shake their bodies to shake off the water, so their situation might be better than the stray cats.
“With such a terrible natural disaster, it is inevitable that there will be casualties. What is more worthy of vigilance is that after a great disaster, there will often be a major epidemic. Storms and floods have drowned many animals, and garbage is overflowing. In addition, the weather is not cool yet. After the flood subsides, there may be a large number of rats and fleas, so I plan to buy some medicine online to prevent the outbreak of infectious diseases.” He said in a low voice.
He planned to buy medicine for cats and dogs online, not for humans. The staff didn’t understand and wondered if it was that serious.
Vladimir nodded. It would distribute the medicine for the stray cats.
As for the stray dogs, he would definitely have to rely on little white.
If a large number of stray cats and dogs died because of infectious diseases, the rotting corpses would also aggravate the epidemic faced by the residents of Coast City. Therefore, helping stray cats and dogs was helping the residents indirectly.
A few people surrounded the cash register, and Jiang Feifei even took some time out of her busy schedule to help them.
Little celery held the stray cat’s paws tightly and kept breathing into her palm, trying to help it recover its body temperature as soon as possible, but her little hand was wet and cold.
“I’ll do it. You go wash your hands. ”
Cai meiwen walked to the side, held little celery’s hand, and pulled her hand away from the cat’s paw.
Little celery looked up and smiled at her mother, then obediently went to wash her hands.
Zhang Zian subconsciously said, thank you …”
“No need to thank me. I didn’t do it to help you.” Cai meiwen took advantage of her daughter’s short absence and whispered,””I just don’t want this cat to die in front of little celery.”
When the staff who were busy rescuing the stray cats heard this, they all felt that she was too unreasonable and too hard-hearted, and they developed a sense of disgust for her.
Zhang Zian’s heart was moved. After all, he had seen and heard too many stories about humans and pets since he was a child. Some of the customers who came to the Pet Shop had pets for a while. Their previous pets …
“Did you have a pet before?” He asked.
Her expression changed. Although she instantly regained her calm, her voice still trembled slightly,”No.”
Little celery ran back after washing her hands and asked with concern,””How’s Xiao Mao?”
Now it was Wang Qian and Li Kun’s turn to keep the stray cat warm. Wang Qian, who was in charge of holding the front half of its body, suddenly shouted,””Master! I don’t think I can feel its heartbeat!”
Zhang Zian quickly put the stethoscope on its chest and listened to its heartbeat.
There was only silence in the stethoscope.
Everyone looked at him nervously.
A few seconds later, he took off his stethoscope and shook his head.”Everyone has worked hard. It’s a pity … It was soaked in the water for too long and we couldn’t save it.”
The staff all sighed in regret and went to wash their hands.
Little celery looked at everyone in confusion. After a while, she seemed to understand something. She pulled Zhang Zian’s arm and asked,”is the kitten … Dead?”
Zhang Zian nodded.”It’s dead.”
Little celery lowered her head and stared at the dead stray cat.
She tried to save it, but failed. Her palm still had the soft touch of its pad, as if a life had just slipped through the gaps of her fingers.
“Let’s save it again? Is that alright? Maybe it’s not dead yet?” She pulled Zhang Zian with tears in her eyes and said unwillingly.
Zhang Zian squatted down,”little celery, it’s dead …”
Unexpectedly, his words caused Cai meiwen to completely explode.
“Why? Why did you bring this stray cat in?” She shouted with all her might, her hair that had been hastily dried made her look like she had gone crazy.”You obviously can’t save it, so why did you bring it in? Wouldn’t it be better to just let it die outside? Why did you have to die in front of us!”
Little celery was sad about the death of the stray cat. Tears were welling up in her eyes, but she was scared away by her mother’s roar.
The shop assistants all poked their heads out of the pet shower room with pale faces, thinking that a fight was about to happen. The key was, why was there a fight? Wasn’t he fine just now?
The Elfins stood up one after another. They hadn’t seen anyone who dared to cause trouble in the Pet Shop for a long time. Was this woman crazy? The stray cat died, and Zhang Zian was to blame? Who could know in advance if it could be saved? Could it be that he wouldn’t save them just because he might not be able to? What kind of logic was that?
Zhang Zian was also shocked when she started to scream, but by the time she finished, he had calmed down.
“Is this the real reason you don’t want little celery to have a pet? If you’re destined to experience a painful separation, why don’t you not have it from the beginning?”
In the face of her seemingly unreasonable accusation, he didn’t yell back. Instead, he said very calmly,”
