start with a pet store

Chapter 489 The heart beats like a drum

Ji Ling felt a little nervous: Could it be that someone abandoned the baby?
Rainy night, baby crying...

The combination of these elements is really frightening, and your mind can uncontrollably think of many things...

"Probably not." Lu Jingxing didn't think so. Who would leave a baby in this weather? And you can't leave them here. This is a pet shop, not an orphanage.

Seeing Ji Ling's look, he knew she was a little scared.

Lu Jingxing quickly walked over, gently put his arm around Ji Ling's shoulders, and comforted her, saying, "Don't be afraid, I'll go take a look."

Ji Ling looked up at him and subconsciously held his hand: "I'll go with you."

"Okay, let's not turn on the lights for now. You can use the flashlight to see what's going on later."

They listened with bated breath, and the cries of "Wow, wow, ah, ah, ah, ah" were louder and smaller, intermittently.

If you listen carefully, you can hear the cry of "Gulu...Gulu...".

Ji Ling held a flashlight in one hand and held Lu Jingxing's hand tightly with the other, her palms becoming sweaty.

Lu Jingxing felt her nervousness and tightened his hands, telling her not to be afraid.

They opened the back door and scanned the back garden with flashlights.

Because I wasn't sure what it was, I didn't dare to open all the doors easily.

Based on his feeling, Lu Jingxing felt that this cry should be... what kind of animal?
birds?birds?Or a giant salamander or something?

But he feels more like an owl.

But he wasn't sure, because owls generally didn't come to cities.

He thought for a moment, patted Ji Ling's hand and asked her to wait here.

Then, he walked out alone.

He had just walked out three or five steps when the sound of "Gulu...Gulu..." suddenly stopped.

Although it was still raining heavily outside, the garden behind was covered with an awning. Except for the outermost one meter near the wall, most of it was protected from rain.

When this sound appeared, it was quite terrifying.

Stopping suddenly, it felt even scarier!

Lu Jingxing took a deep breath and walked out carefully.

I looked around and looked around carefully.

There was nothing unusual, except for the sounds of cats and dogs, and the loudest sound was the rain.

Lu Jingxing checked it carefully and finally.

In the far right corner, on the edge of the awning on this side of the dog yard, stands a bird.

big bird.

It looked at Lu Jingxing with big eyes, staring blankly and cutely.

With its wings spread out, it looked innocent and silly.

It was still shouting "Gulu...Gulu...", and the rain soaked it like a drowned rat.

A little miserable, and a little silly.

After Lu Jingxing saw it clearly, he let out a long breath.

He turned around and waved to Ji Ling who was holding a flashlight. Ji Ling came over and slowly walked towards the owl with Lu Jingxing.

Lu Jingxing wore gloves and kept his body covered.

Seeing them approaching, the owl flapped its wings vigorously, as if it wanted to fly, but unfortunately, it failed.

"I can't fly. It looks like my wings are injured?" Ji Ling held an umbrella for Lu Jingxing and said hesitantly.

Lu Jingxing did not approach rashly, but observed it first before using a broom to force it into the corner.

After driving it into the corner, Ji Ling quickly brought a cage over and said, "Use this!"

"Okay." Lu Jingxing held the broom in his left hand and took the cage in his right hand.

The owl was still trying to run over, but Lu Jingxing quickly covered it with his hood.

The owl was injured, soaked in the rain, and scared. It stared at Lu Jingxing and the others, flapped its arms a few times, opened its mouth, and started to call again.

"Wow wow wow ah ah ah..."

Boy, that’s the sound!
Even though I already knew it was an owl, it still sounded creepy at first glance.

Ji Ling came over and took the broom from Lu Jingxing's hand: "How to get it out?"

Lu Jingxing frowned and thought, "Let me see..."

The cage is not big, and the owl is fluttering inside, making quite a lot of noise.

Its head was big, almost as wide as its body, its mouth was short, its sides were flat and strong, its tip was hooked, and its big eyes were embedded in the eye sockets. Lu Jingxing pressed the cage against it, and it fluttered for a while and then stopped moving, its eyes wide. The boss was staring at Ji Ling who was observing it, and he was very angry.

Lu Jingxing's lips curled up slightly and he smiled: "This owl is probably still a baby bird that has just learned to fly."

"It's a bit silly, and the scream is quite charming." Ji Ling bent down slightly and looked down at this species that she had only heard of but never seen. It was quite strange.

Lu Jingxing thought for a while and asked her to get the protective gear: "There's nothing I can do. This guy flutters every time he moves. It's quite powerful. I'll just catch it and forget it."

"Okay." Ji Ling went to take out the protective gear and held down the cage for Lu Jingxing.

After Lu Jingxing put on his protective gear, he came over and lifted up a corner of the cage.

As soon as it was opened, the owl rushed over quickly.

As soon as Lu Jingxing stretched out his hand, his glove was pecked by an owl, causing a large tear.This little thing looks quite silly, but his fighting ability is quite strong.

Ji Ling was startled and subconsciously brought the cage over: "Why don't we just put it in!?"

If you do this without gloves, you may get a big gash in your hand.

"It's okay, it won't let go, look." Lu Jingxing held it down with both hands. The owl seemed to be competing with him, biting tightly and determined not to let go!
Bamao also heard the noise at this time and ran over to watch the excitement.

When Ba Mao saw such a big bird, his eyes lit up, his ears flew straight to the ground, he screamed "ooooooo" and wanted to rush up.

Lu Jingxing quickly carried the owl into the examination room and asked Ji Ling to pull Bamao away: "You can't fight! Bamao!"

When the owl saw Ba Mao, it was also startled and started to flutter hard.

It probably touched the wound again, and it screamed in pain.

After hearing this, Bamao immediately became excited and opened the glass door outside: "Meow! Meow!" Come out!

Hearing that Lu Jingxing was funny and angry, he quickly patted the owl to make it relax slowly.

Ji Ling thought about it, the owl was injured and wet in the rain, so he might be hungry: "Shall I get some broth for it?"

It just so happened that there was still some broth left for the cats.

"Okay, let me give it a general inspection."

When you have something to eat later, put it in the hair dryer.

Bamao stood guard in front of the glass door, looking inside and pacing back and forth from time to time.

After checking the owl, it turned out that its wings were indeed injured. When Lu Jingxing touched it, it became extremely excited.

I'm afraid I've injured a bone and need to take a picture.

Lu Jingxing was turning on the machine, and Ji Ling had already brought the broth.

The silly bird still refused to eat. Ji Ling thought for a while, picked up the shredded meat with tweezers, and waved it near the owl's beak. The owl must have been a little hungry. When she saw the moving camera, she immediately took a bite. .

Ji Ling was so frightened that her hands trembled, but she did not retreat.

Fortunately, the owl only pecked the flesh on the tweezers.

Obviously, it was very hungry. At first, Ji Ling picked it up with tweezers and fed it. Later, it couldn't wait any longer and ate it by itself.

Seeing it eating happily, Ji Ling mused: "This is a second-level protected animal. If it can't fly, we will have to report it to the animal epidemic prevention station tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll contact you tomorrow." Lu Jingxing adjusted the machine and came over to see that the owl had finished a bowl of broth: "As long as you can eat it, it means it's not a big problem."

"Yeah." Ji Ling nodded and looked at his hand: "Is your hand okay? Let me take a look."

Although he was wearing protective gear, this was a raptor after all, and his gloves tore a big gash in one go...

"It's okay." Lu Jingxing stretched out his hand and showed her: "It's just that the gloves are torn. He must have just learned to fly. The bite is not strong. If it is only an adult, it may be a bit hanging."

"Let me see... is the skin broken? This is a real wild animal..." Ji Ling was still scared, holding his hand and checking it over and over carefully.

Although this owl is a young bird, it is wild after all. If there is any virus or something, it will be difficult.

Her hands were soft and a little cool.

She gently held his hand and looked at it very carefully. Because she was so close, she even felt her breath hitting his fingertips.

Lu Jingxing lowered his eyes and looked at her, feeling warm in his heart.

Usually, she cares about others by herself, but few people care about him like this. Moreover, Ji Ling holds his hand like this, as if he is the only one in her eyes...

He looked at Ji Ling, who was frightened just now and now worried about him, and his heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat.

Ji Ling's hair hung down and gently brushed his arm, as if touching his heart.

His gaze was so intense that Ji Ling subconsciously raised her head.

Their eyes met, both of them blushed.

The rain was falling outside the house, but no matter how loud the thunderstorm was, it was not as loud as their heartbeats at this moment.

Lu Jingxing's Adam's apple rolled and he opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

Is it really possible between the two of them?

Is her shyness really what he thinks?

Ji Ling was a little embarrassed at first, and her blush reached all the way to her ears.

Since this time, she has been hesitant and tried many times, but...

She hated Lu Jingxing for being a piece of wood!
But now, her heartbeat was beating like a drum, and Lu Jingxing's reaction made her feel like she was in sight of victory!
However, just when she was about to speak, Lu Jingxing suddenly withdrew his hand.

He was hoarse and turned around hastily: "I, I'm going to see the owl..."

"Don't go!" Ji Ling was anxious. She grabbed his arm and said, "What are you looking at, owl? Look at me!"

"...Huh?" Lu Jingxing was a little confused.

Ji Ling looked at him and took a deep breath.

She knew that Lu Jingxing was a reserved person and it would be difficult for him to take the initiative.

She finally got this God-given opportunity. If she missed it, she would regret it to death!

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

Don't miss this opportunity!

Ji Ling's heart skipped a beat and she threw herself into Lu Jingxing's arms: "Do you like me!?"
