Jiang Feifei's original intention was to ease the awkwardness, but she didn't expect Cai Meiwen's cold attitude to further escalate the awkward atmosphere.
Wang Qian and Li Kun scratched their heads. It didn't seem like a good time to break the deadlock.
To be honest, even the knowledgeable elfins were angered by her words. They had already given her a way out, but she didn't appreciate it. If it weren't for Little Celery, they would have already slammed the table and stood up … They had never seen such an unappreciative person!
Richard was already trying his best not to curse.
Jiang Feifei stood in the same place and laughed. "What a pity …"
Zhang Zian also felt a little bad, but how should he put it? Perhaps some parents did put their children's academic performance above everything else. This couldn't be said to be wrong. After all, the pressure of competition in today's society was too great. The more hardship and loneliness they endured when they were young, the more likely they were to grow up to be a better person. They were more likely to have a good and happy life. No matter how great their ideals were, it was difficult to be happy without money in modern society.
Little Celery lowered her head in disappointment, and her throat made a barely audible response. "Hmm …"
Cai Meiwen's face was cold. She didn't explain further and pretended not to notice the piercing gazes around her.
That's right. Whether it was today or in the past, she would have rejected Little Celery's request to raise a pet. They could be the good guys and play the good cop, so she would play the bad cop.
The atmosphere in the store was so awkward that it made people itch and unable to breathe. The staff couldn't wait to escape from the scene and find work for themselves. Wang Qian and Li Kun obviously didn't need to add ice cubes next door, so they quickly ran over to take a breather. Lu Yiyun and Jiang Feifei kept wringing and changing the rag.
Cai Meiwen didn't feel good either. She only hoped that the storm would stop quickly so that she and her daughter could leave as soon as possible. Unfortunately, things didn't go according to their wishes.
At that moment, Famous, who was lying on the stairs, suddenly stood up and barked. It turned its head to look at the second floor and said, "It seems like Vladimir is back …"
Zhang Zian's attention was suddenly diverted. He had confidence in Vladimir, but its injuries had just healed and its physical strength had not fully recovered. The violence of the typhoon was far beyond imagination, so he had been very nervous.
"I'm going upstairs. I have something to do. If you need anything, just let the staff know." He said something to Cai Meiwen and hurried back to the second floor. Because the glass window was closed, Vladimir couldn't come in even if he came back unless it broke the glass with one punch.
He went to the wet storage room, put on his raincoat, and opened the window.
The rain outside was even more intense than before. The torrential rain had already stretched into thin threads, connecting the sky and the earth. The water on the street was about thirty to forty centimeters deep. It was extremely chaotic, and there were even whirlpools in some places. All kinds of debris floated along with the water in the direction of the sea.
On the roof of the Wuling Hong Guang MPV sat a drenched Vladimir. Beside it was a stray cat that seemed to be only a few months old.
Seeing the window open, Vladimir grabbed the fur on the back of the stray cat's neck from behind, then jumped in through the open window.
Zhang Zian immediately closed the window.
"Vladimir, you …"
"Let's see if it can be saved first!" Vladimir sneezed and spoke first.
The second floor was too dark, and Zhang Zian didn't have time to ask more questions. He carefully picked up the stray cat and quickly walked downstairs.
"Little Celery, put away your exercise book first! First Aid Kit! "
He didn't have time to explain and quickly issued orders.
Little Celery put the lop-eared rabbit on the ground and quickly put the exercise book, paper, and pen into her school bag. She emptied the cashier desk.
Lu Yiyun put down the work in her hands and took the first aid kit. She put on disposable gloves and was ready to help at any time.
Under the light of the emergency lights, everyone saw the stray cat that was dying. Its forehead seemed to have been injured. There was a wound, but it was no longer bleeding.
Zhang Zian quickly checked the other parts of its body and didn't find any more wounds. The wound on its forehead wasn't deep, so it shouldn't be fatal. The problem was that its body was too cold.
He touched the pads of its paws. They were very cold.
Vladimir jumped onto the cashier desk, dripping wet, and asked anxiously, "How is it? Can you do what I did and give it some dog blood? "
Zhang Zian was not a veterinarian, but his knowledge of first aid was no less than that of a veterinarian. In fact, he was even better than a veterinarian.
The stray cat's problem wasn't blood loss, but hypothermia.
He took out the stethoscope from the first aid kit and placed it on the stray cat's chest. Its heartbeat was very weak.
"Take the electric blanket …"
Old Time Tea didn't use the electric blanket in the summer, so it had been left unused. He raised his hand and pointed at the electric blanket, but he immediately realized that there was no electricity. What was the use of the electric blanket?
There was no electricity, so the electric kettle couldn't be used. He couldn't use a warm bath to warm it up quickly.
There was no electricity, so the hairdryer couldn't be used. He couldn't dry its hair quickly.
There was no electricity, so he couldn't do anything!
Zhang Zian ran to the kitchen on the second floor and tried to turn on the gas stove, but it couldn't start a fire. The community or government departments were worried that the natural gas pipeline would be damaged by the typhoon, so they interrupted the gas supply. It could also be that the pipeline had already been damaged.
"Little Yun, take off your gloves. Let's hug its body together!"
He went back downstairs and simply wiped the stray cat's body with a towel. He put his palms together and hugged the lower half of its body in an O-shape, demonstrating for Lu Yi Yun.
Lu Yi Yun understood and immediately took off her disposable gloves. She also put her palms together and hugged the upper half of its body in an O-shape, using his and her body temperature to warm it up.
This method was a last resort. Perhaps it was more effective for hypothermia in humans, because humans didn't have that much hair on the surface of their bodies. They could transfer heat directly from their skin to their skin, but cats' hair was very dense and wet. Most of the heat was wasted on evaporating the water in the hair, and there was no time to cut the hair.
"Call Wang Qian and Li Kun over."
After a while, he said.
Jiang Feifei immediately ran next door and called the two boys who were pretending to be dead.
"You two, rub your palms until they're warm, then take over from us," Zhang Zian said.
Wang Qian and Li Kun's brains weren't very bright, but their execution was impeccable. They immediately began to rub their palms together, and soon … black mud came out.
Zhang Zian and Lu Yi Yun's palms were already wet and cold. They let Wang Qian and Li Kun, who were rubbing their palms until they were cold, take over from them. They then dried their hands with a towel, rubbed their palms until they were warm, and took over from Wang Qian and Li Kun again.
The task of adding ice and absorbing water fell on Jiang Feifei's shoulders. She was extremely busy.
At this time, a pair of small hands reached over from the side and held the stray cat's paws. Each hand held a pair of front and back limbs, and the palms were pressed against the paws.
Little Celery bit her lip. "I'll help too!"
