Sun Xiaomeng called Long Xian and told her from memory, "Prepare the following medicines, which can be found in the medicine cabinet in the clinic — Nystatin, copper sulfate solution, griseofulvin, ciprofloxacin, and multivitamins."
Long Xian nodded every time she said something. When Sun Xiaomeng finished, Long Xian said, "Nystatin, copper sulfate solution, griseofulvin, ciprofloxacin, and multivitamins, right?"
Long Xian was proud of her short-term memory. She was waiting for Sun Xiaomeng to praise her on the other side of the phone.
Unexpectedly, Sun Xiaomeng just nodded and continued to say, "We don't have these things in the medicine cabinet. You have to go to the nearest Chinese medicine chain store to buy them: 2 grams of dandelion, 1 gram of skullcap, 1 gram of platycodon, 1 gram of draba seed, 1 gram of sophora root, 1 gram of licorice …"
"Wait, wait, wait …" Long Xian panicked. The series of "wait" almost made her bite her tongue. She didn't dare to be careless anymore and said in a flurry, "Wait, Sister Xiaomeng, let me get a pen and write."
Veterinary schools rarely taught anything related to Chinese medicine, and Long Xian didn't know anything about Chinese medicine. She didn't even know how to write or pronounce some words, not to mention the dosage ratio. She had to find a pen and paper to write it down, or she would forget it.
While Sun Xiaomeng was waiting for Long Xian to get a pen and paper, Zhang Zian entered the bedroom next door and saw Wang Qian and Li Kun had just installed another electric heater. Fina, Snowy Lionet, and Old Time Tea curiously gathered around, feeling the warmth of the electric heater. After a while, Fina's eyelids started to struggle again …
Zhang Zian looked around but didn't see Xinghai. Only the American Shorthair, who often played hide-and-seek with Xinghai, was quietly resting in the corner.
Zhang Zian's mind was in a mess. He didn't care where Xinghai was for the time being. Xinghai couldn't leave the pet shop by herself anyway. If she wasn't in a room on the second floor, she would be on the first floor.
"Master, what's up?" Wang Qian and Li Kun noticed Zhang Zian's serious face. They wiped the dust off their hands, ready to help their master.
"You go to Sun Xiaomeng's clinic and jog. Long Xian will prepare some medicine for you. Li Kun, you come back first with the medicine. Wang Qian, you stay in the clinic, because Long Xian will go to other places to buy other medicines. When she comes back, Wang Qian, you bring the other medicines here. "Zhang Zian assigned tasks to them.
Zhang Zian spoke in an orderly manner, and Wang Qian and Li Kun understood everything.
"If there's nothing you don't understand, then hurry up and go jogging." Zhang Zian waved his hand.
"Yes, Master!"
Wang Qian and Li Kun did not ask any questions, nor did they say anything unnecessary. They ran downstairs.
Zhang Zian walked to the window and watched the two of them run in the direction of the clinic until they disappeared into the night.
"What happened?" Fina opened her eyes and asked.
"It's Richard," Zhang Zian replied. "It's sick, very sick."
Old Time Tea pondered and said, "I just vaguely heard Dr. Sun mention a few traditional Chinese medicines."
"Yes, Grandpa Tea, I heard it too." Zhang Zian listened attentively. Sun Xiaomeng was still talking to Long Xian on the phone in the living room, repeating the types and dosages of traditional Chinese medicines to her. Sun Xiaomeng didn't have any tasks assigned to him, so he chatted with Old Time Tea for the time being.
Old Time Tea nodded and praised, "Dr. Sun is young, but you are well-versed in both Chinese and Western medicine. You are a rare young talent! Medicine and martial arts come from the same source. Doctors are good at saving lives, while martial arts are good at eliminating evil! Dandelion has the effect of reducing carbuncle; Scutellaria can clear away heat and detoxify; Drynaria can relieve asthma and reduce swelling; Platycodon can clear the lungs and remove phlegm; Sophora sophora can diuresis and kill insects; Licorice can harmonize all kinds of medicines. You have a deep understanding of the principle of 'Monarch, Minister, Assistant, and Envoy'. Your achievements in the future will be limitless! "
Zhang Zian didn't understand a word, so he could only force a smile.
Snowy Lionet echoed, "This girl is not bad. She's obviously the frigid type. I like her …"
"Stop!" Zhang Zian had to stop Snowy Lionet's dangerous delusion. "Her family owns a pet breeding base. Be careful, she might take you back and use you as a breeding cat!"
Snowy Lionet was scared, "I don't want to be a breeding cat!"
"Right, did any of you see where Xinghai went?" Zhang Zian didn't have the time to talk nonsense with it. He turned around and confirmed that Xinghai was not in this bedroom.
"She was here just now …" Old Time Tea looked around in surprise, "I don't know where she went in the blink of an eye …"
"I see …" Zhang Zian nodded. If even Old Time Tea, who was the most vigilant, didn't notice Xinghai's whereabouts, then asking Fina and Snowy Lionet was useless.
"You guys rest first. I need to go out for a while." He left the bedroom and left the door unlocked to maintain the temperature in the room. At this critical moment, he didn't want another elfin to get sick.
He looked in the other rooms on the second floor but didn't see Xinghai.
"Xinghai," he called softly.
No response.
"Xinghai, are you there? This is not the time to play hide-and-seek, "he said again.
Still no response.
He walked down the stairs and saw Guo Dongyue directing the workers to hurry up with the construction work. The first floor was brightly illuminated by the large wattage steam lamp, and even the corners could be seen at a glance. He glanced around and didn't see Xinghai on the first floor.
Guo Dongyue asked loudly, "How is Richard?"
It was too noisy. Zhang Zian shook his head, waved his hand, and walked up the stairs again. He didn't know how Richard was doing, so he could only pin his hope on Sun Xiaomeng. As for how Guo Dongyue understood his gesture, it was Guo Dongyue's business.
He had searched the first and second floors. Could it be …
Zhang Zian looked up at the ceiling. Did Xinghai go to the roof?
With Xinghai's ability, it could easily do that. But why did it go to the roof? It was late at night, and the weather was so cold …
Zhang Zian was about to take a ladder to the roof to check, when Sun Xiaomeng called him over.
He had to put Xinghai's matter aside and asked, "What's wrong? Do you need my help?"
Sun Xiaomeng had just hung up the phone with Long Xian. She held up two fingers to him and said, "Two things. First, Richard's condition is just my speculation. I can't make a definite diagnosis unless we complete the biopsy test or the thoracotomy. I can only follow this direction. "
When she said these words, she was speaking as a doctor to a pet owner. She had to make some things clear.
Sun Xiaomeng was always straightforward and never hesitant. At this moment, she was even more decisive.
The words "biopsy test" and "thoracotomy" made Zhang Zian shudder. He nodded with difficulty, indicating that he knew what she was talking about.
"The mortality rate of aspergillosis is very high. My skills are limited, and I don't have enough equipment. Do you want to send Richard to a large pet hospital? The doctors there are more experienced and better equipped, "she suggested.
Zhang Zian shook his head. Richard couldn't leave the pet shop. Even if he could, the few large pet hospitals in Binhai City were far away. Richard's disease was acting up very quickly. Considering the traffic jam outside, if he told the doctors there about Richard's condition, he might have to wait in line to see a doctor in a large pet hospital.
