Doctor Song, are you married?

Chapter 390 389. The story of Lao Zhou and the sheep.
  Wu Yanzhen developed the habit of vegetarianism more than [-] years ago.

Therefore, he has not eaten beef and goat meat for at least twenty years. Moreover, he is allergic to dairy products, so naturally he has no history of contact with cow's and goat's milk.

Due to allergies, he rarely comes into contact with fur animals, and he never has any pets at home.

So when Song Qi asked him if he had any contact with cattle, sheep or cattle and sheep products, he firmly denied it.

However, his wife remembered something.

That's the story about the sheep raised by Lao Zhou
  Lao Zhou and Lao Wu were from the same hometown and grew up together. But later, Lao Zhou jumped in and went to the prairie, while Lao Wu went to Xishuangbanna.

So the contact between the two was interrupted.

Lao Wu got married and established a business in Xishuangbanna, while Lao Zhou also took root in the prairie.

However, when they reached the age of taking care of themselves, both of them missed their hometown. Therefore, after their children grew up and started families, they returned to the island city one after another.

When they have nothing to do, the two old people will get together to reminisce about the green years of the past.

Lao Zhou has lived in the prairie for decades, and his living habits have also changed a lot. For example, he cannot live without cattle and sheep.

Especially when he first came back, he couldn't even sleep well without hearing the braying of cattle and sheep.

Later, in order to appease him, his son bought him a piece of land in the suburbs, planted some vegetables, and raised two sheep.

He originally wanted to raise a cow, but the cow's appetite was too much, so he had to give up and brought two lambs back from the prairie.

I don’t know whether the lambs were too small or just acclimatized, but both lambs died one after another.

Later, his son simply bought him a ewe that was still in the pregnancy period, thinking that when the ewe and lambs were raised together, they would be able to raise them.

However, when Lao Zhou started to raise him, Lao Wu rarely went to him to drink tea and chat because Lao Wu was allergic to animal fur.

About twenty days ago, Lao Zhou called Lao Wu and said that his sheep was sick and wanted to take him to a pet hospital for a checkup. However, Lao Zhou lived in the suburbs and there was no pet hospital. If he wanted to go to the pet hospital, he had to come. urban area.

Lao Zhou couldn't drive, and taxis wouldn't let him take the sheep. Lao Zhou, who had no friends in the island city, had no choice but to trouble Lao Wu.

Of course, he also knew that Lao Wu was allergic to animal fur, so he asked Lao Wu's lover to accompany him to the pet hospital.

Early that morning, when Lao Wu's lover was about to go out, he received another call from Lao Zhou, saying that he had a cold and was feeling weak. The sheep seemed to be sick too, and he probably couldn't go to the pet hospital. Could Lao Wu help? He contacted a vet who could make house calls.

On the phone, Lao Wu heard that Lao Zhou seemed to be in poor health, so he decided to go and see him.

So, Lao Wu found a pet doctor nearby. After negotiating the price, he rushed to Lao Zhou with the pet doctor.

We arrived at Lao Zhou’s small farmyard. I found that the yard was covered in blood.

Lao Wu was frightened at that time and hurriedly looked around for Lao Zhou.

Later, Lao Zhou, who was completely exhausted, and the ewe covered in blood were found in the thatch pile in the backyard.

The situation at that time was really weird.

Seeing that Lao Zhou's face was pale and his mental state was not very good, Lao Wu didn't care whether he was allergic to fur or not, so he stepped forward and dragged Lao Zhou out.

However, Lao Zhou still missed his sheep. Although he could no longer walk, he still pointed to the bloody ewe and said to Lao Wu: "Lao Wu, my sheep has miscarried. Hurry up and ask the pet doctor to give it to you." Check to see if he has any disease."

At that time, Lao Wu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, thinking that you, Lao Zhou, who is obsessed with raising sheep, still miss the sheep even though his body is like this.

However, even though he was complaining like this in his heart, Lao Wu could understand Lao Zhou's feelings for the grassland and the cattle and sheep, so he quickly called the pet doctor over. Since the environment in the backyard was relatively messy and she was worried that Lao Wu was allergic to fur, Lao Wu's wife took the sheep to the front yard.

Lao Wu was supporting Lao Zhou from behind.

After walking a few steps, Lao Zhou thought of the pile of bloody lamb placenta tissue from the ewe in the backyard. Thinking that his body was too weak, he asked Lao Wu to help him clean it up.

After cleaning up, Lao Wu helped Lao Zhou into the room and found him cold medicine.

It didn't take long for Lao Zhou to fall asleep.

Worried about Lao Zhou's health, Lao Wu called his son.

Lao Zhou's son couldn't stand the torture anymore, so he took Lao Zhou back to the prairie.

After Lao Wu's wife told everyone the whole process. Gong Hong immediately became alert.

In fact, when Song Qi repeatedly asked Lao Wu if he had any history of contact with cattle and sheep, she also subconsciously thought of an uncommon disease: brucellosis!

This disease is indeed very rare, and most doctors never think of it.

"Why did that sheep miscarry?" Gong Hong asked quickly.

"How do we know this? At that time, the pet doctor just treated the ewe briefly, left two antibacterial pills, and then went back." Lao Wu's wife asked a little strangely.

"Does this sheep have anything to do with Lao Wu's illness?" she asked alertly.

"Mom, why have I never heard you talk about this?" Xiao Wu also asked nervously.

"It's just a small thing. I can't even think of Dr. Song today if he doesn't mention cattle and sheep," Lao Wu's wife said.

At this time, Lao Wu could no longer hold on and fell asleep.

Lao Zhou had a cold, the ewe had a miscarriage, Lao Wu came into contact with the ewe's abortion products, Lao Wu had a fever
  The entire chain is quite clear.

"Can I contact Lao Zhou now? Is his cold better? Also, what is the condition of that sheep now?" Song Qi said to Xiao Wu's mother.

"I have Lao Zhou's contact information, but doctor, is Lao Wu's illness really related to that sheep? Is it mad cow disease?" Xiao Wu's mother asked in a panic.

She didn't understand medicine, and the only disease she could think of related to cattle and sheep was mad cow disease.

"Probably not. You should call Lao Zhou first and then talk." Song Qi said.

Although he was quite confident in the diagnosis, Song Qi felt that he still needed some more intuitive evidence.

Xiao Wu quickly took out his phone and said, "I have Uncle Zhou's phone number. Let me call him." As he said that, he started dialing Lao Zhou's phone number.

The phone rang for a long time but no one answered. When Xiao Wu was about to hang up, the phone was picked up. "Hi, who are you?" A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Xiao Wu could tell that it was Uncle Zhou's son's phone call.

"Brother Zhou, I am Xiao Wu, where is Uncle Zhou?" Xiao Wu asked quickly.

"Xiao Wu, hey! My dad is sick and has been hospitalized, but nothing has been found wrong. He just has been having fever and sweating for almost a month."
