Pet King - Chapter 1616
Chapter 1616: The birch forest in October
Zhang Zian and famous fought and retreated. It didn’t matter whether they defeated the guards or the Cougar. No one was here to film a documentary anyway, and it was more important to meet up with the elves. So, while the guards weren’t paying attention, he gave the elves a look and went into the forest.
He had night vision, and the advantage was that once he hid in the forest, he could barely see the road without using the flashlight, so the guards couldn’t judge his position by the light, and he quickly lost the guards.
Famous sniffed the Fati’s scent and led the way, and he followed behind.
After walking for a while, the road became more and more difficult to walk on. They had to go through rugged, narrow, and thorny places. Not to mention him, even famous was suffering unspeakably. The feeling of a big rat suddenly jumping out of the grass and stepping on its face in panic was very satisfying.
At this time, there was another noise in the grass in front of him. It seemed that a large beast was approaching. Zhang Zian’s hand pressed the switch of the flashlight, planning to wait for the beast to come out and take a look.
A North American gray wolf jumped out of the grass. It was dark, so he couldn’t tell if the wolf was Fati’s man, but from famous’s reaction, it should be.
It obviously recognized him and ran over in a hurry. It grabbed his pants and pulled in another direction.
“What’s wrong? What happened?”
The wolf could not answer his question.
“Stop pulling, I’ll go with you. If you pull my pants again, they’ll become shorts!”
The Wolf’s teeth were so sharp and had a high bite force that they had already torn the corner of his unlucky pants into strips. His heart ached when he saw it.
After he took the initiative to follow, the wolf let go of his pants and ran in front to lead the way. However, it had no experience in leading the way and often left him behind. It even had to stop to wait for him or go back to find him.
Zhang Zian looked down at his feet, but famous smelled a familiar scent.”Isn’t this the way to the Native American village?”
Why would he go back to the deserted village? Something happened to melgen?
He was filled with confusion, but the wolf would not answer him, so he could only continue walking.
At night, the deserted village was like a ghost village. The open doors and windows made people feel that there was a monster hidden inside. Only a few lights came out from the intact house.
What was going on? He had clearly told melgen not to turn on the lights in the room with the curtains open …
He became more and more puzzled, and his premonition that something had happened grew stronger and stronger.
“Melgen, it’s me! I’m back! Open the door!” He knocked on the door.
Famous lowered its head and sniffed, then said nervously,””Oh no, there’s a bloody smell. It seems to be …” It couldn’t bear and didn’t want to continue.
Galaxy raised its head and stared at him.”Meow! Zian, you must calm down.”
The lock rang, and melgen opened the door in a panic. She stuttered as she pointed into the room.”I didn’t turn on the lights, but …”
Zhang Zian didn’t wait for her to finish speaking and rushed into the room. At a glance, he saw Vladimir lying on the coffee table and fina, who was anxiously waiting to the side, as well as … The blood that had dyed Vladimir’s blue-gray hair purple.
As soon as Pi saw the blood, it was so scared that it threw away the stick and covered its eyes, not daring to look again.
“Gah? Gah?” Richard, who had always been sharp-tongued, stammered and could not say a complete sentence.
“What … What’s going on?”
He rushed to the side of the coffee table and checked Vladimir’s injuries.
“No! There was no need to explain! Let’s bandage the wound first!” He interrupted fina and melgen, who were about to speak,”let me think … Melgen, go and boil a pot of water and wash your hands. I need your help!”
Melgen had already given up on thinking, and she subconsciously followed his instructions.
In order to steal food and supplies, Zhang Zian had emptied his backpack, leaving most of the things in it here. He quickly found the first aid kit and put on disposable gloves.
Fina also had blood on its body, but it was Vladimir’s blood. It remorsefully blamed itself,””It’s all bengong’s fault for being too careless … You can cure it, right?”
Vladimir was already in a semi-conscious state due to blood loss, but it was still breathing. Zhang Zian checked its injuries, and the injuries themselves were not fatal. It was just that it had lost too much blood during the journey. The top priority was to sew the wounds up and stop the bleeding.
“Don’t worry, there won’t be any problems. ” He comforted fina, but he didn’t have much confidence in himself.
The cat was different from the minke whale he had saved before. The whale was fine even if it lost a hundred pounds of blood, but the cat did not have much blood in its body to begin with …
Melgen had already washed her hands.”What do you need me to do?”
“I’m going to cut off the hair near the wound and sew it up. ”
Melgen was smart. She did not need him to explain in detail. She helped him pick up the hair near the wound to avoid cutting his skin.
As a Wrangler and beeper who lived in seclusion in the deep mountains and forests, they had to be self-sufficient in everything. The tools in the house were very complete, such as the needles for sewing clothes. In fact, there was also a thread, but the thread that had been placed there for many years was no longer of much use, and it broke with a pull.
Zhang Zian instructed melgen to disinfect the wound with hydrogen peroxide, then washed off the remaining hydrogen peroxide with clean water, and used tweezers to clean the hair and dirty things in the wound. He used a lighter to disinfect the needle, then found a suture made from the tail tendon of a Beaver and put it into the pinhole.
When the needle pierced into his skin, the half-unconscious Vladimir was temporarily awake because of the pain. It slowly opened its eyes and took a few seconds to see him clearly.
“Don’t move, bear with it. ” He focused on the wound and the thread and thread.
Melgen pressed its head and body gently with her hands nervously. She was afraid that it would move, but she did not dare to use too much force.
“It doesn’t matter. Be bold. You’re not afraid of blood and sacrifice when you do great things. For the sake of sacrifice, you have the ambition to change the sun and the moon …” It encouraged him with a weak voice.
Melgen could not understand what it was saying, but for some reason, she was crying.
Zhang Zian’s hands were also trembling, and his vision was a little blurry. The premonition that he might lose a reliable partner made him almost unable to hold the thin needle. He took a deep breath and tried his best to steady his hand. He did not think too much and sutured the stitches.
Fina walked around anxiously and dejectedly. It hated this feeling of powerlessness the most, just like when it had lost her.
Snowy Lionet tried to comfort fina, but it didn’t work.
Famous knew that it couldn’t help, so it could only lie quietly at the door, listening to the movements in the forest.
“It’s a little cold. Are you guys cold? “It’s as cold as October. Have I returned to the Red Square in Moscow …” Vladimir muttered.
“Listen! It’s the sound of cannons in the Winter Palace …”
“Look! It’s the blazing flames that have dyed the East red!”
“The cheering people are pouring into the red Square!”
“The history that the imperialists could conquer a country and a nation with only a few cannons in the East is gone forever …”
“Wake up! Vladimir! Wake up! Don’t fall asleep!” Zhang Zian held back his tears,”in the future, let’s go to Moscow together!” Go to the Red Square! Plant the red flag all over the world! There are so many suffering stray cats in the world waiting for you to liberate them!”
Upon hearing this, Vladimir seemed to have sobered up a little. It tried its best to look at him with its listless eyes and grinned.
“Alright!”
Vladimir looked forward to the future and used its steel-like will to fight against the sleeping demon. In order not to fall asleep, it gently hummed a song.
“White snow fluttered in the quiet village,
Pigeons flew under the hazy sky,
The two names were carved on the white birch tree.
They swore to love each other for the rest of their lives.
One day, the flames of war spread to his hometown.
The young man picked up his gun and rushed to the border,
My beloved, don’t worry about me,
Wait for me to return to that birch forest …”
Vladimir liked to sing, but it used to sing battle songs that were full of fighting spirit. Today, it uncharacteristically sang the slow and sad “white birch forest.”
Zhang Zian also hummed along with Richard. Although he was tone-deaf and out of tune, Richard remained silent and did not mock him.
Melgen clearly didn’t understand Chinese or Vladimir’s words, but she just heard the traditional Russia melody and started crying.
“Please … You have to save it …” Her shoulders trembled. She was not even this sad when she was in prison.
Zhang Zian nodded solemnly and motioned for her to light the fireplace to warm up the room. He then covered it with a few dry towels.
The fire in the fireplace started burning, and the firewood crackled with a few sparks.
“Meow! Vladimir …” Galaxy jumped onto the coffee table and gently touched Vladimir’s forehead with its front paw.”You will get better …”
“Squeak squeak.”
Pi tried its best to suppress its fear of blood. It came over and grabbed one of Vladimir’s front paws with both hands.
“Don’t … Don’t act like it’s dying!” Fina rebuked angrily, jumped in front of Vladimir, and roared,””Bengong has not allowed you to die, do you hear me! Did you hear me?”
Famous turned its head and faced the bare door, not willing to let people see its wet eyes.
Zhang Zian could hear his own heartbeat. For the first time, he felt that time had passed so quickly, and his movements were so clumsy.
The room was very cold, but he was sweating because of his panic.
But in fact, it only took him a few minutes to completely stitch up the wound, and the tough and strong beaver tail tendon firmly bound the wound. The wound was very neat, as if it had been cut open by a sharp weapon, which indirectly reduced the pressure on the stitching. After all, he was not a professional veterinarian, and it would be too difficult if it was a laceration.
After the last stitch, he tied a knot, and melgen cut off the extra tendon with a pair of scissors.
“How is it? Can it survive?” Melgen clenched her hands in front of her chest with tears in her eyes.
No one hoped that Vladimir would survive more than Zhang Zian, but the situation was not optimistic. Although the bleeding had stopped, it had lost too much blood before and was already on the verge of danger. If it had not been for its strong body and strong will, it might not have been able to make it here.
“It has lost too much blood. If we want it to be safe, we have to find a way to transfuse blood to it.” He said word by word.
