Strange Life of a Cat

"Uncle Lin is a well-known veterinarian here. I heard that he has been a veterinarian for generations, but he is not very famous outside, but his skills are still very good. He often comes to give Dashan massage, acupuncture, etc. If Dashan is sick and needs medicine, He will also specially prepare medicines suitable for Dashan, after all, Dashan is different from ordinary cats here. Moreover, Uncle Lin can also accompany Master and the old man when he comes over, playing chess and talking." Ermao said.

Gong Qin is very interested in veterinary medicine, but what she has been in contact with before is mostly Western medicine, and acupuncture and moxibustion have never thought that it can be used on animals.

"Uncle Lin, when will he give Dashan the needle? Can I watch?" Gong Qin asked.

"It's ok, that's okay. We used to watch him give Dashan an injection. Apart from his old master, Uncle Lin is the second person who can make Dashan settle down. However, Uncle Lin usually comes to give Dashan an injection in the morning. Coming here at this time is probably just to talk to the master, and then give Dashan a massage."

"Massage?!" Gong Qin threw away his belongings and went to study.

While packing up the rest of the things, Ermao complained to Eryuan: "Your mother is fascinated when she hears about this. Just now she said that she was a little confused after taking the car for too long. Look now, how refreshed she is!"

Ermao's gaze fell on Zheng Tan, who was squatting beside him with his head bowed, not knowing what he was thinking, and said, "Heitian, let Uncle Lin do it for you too, it's thanks to Uncle Lin that Dashan is healthy until now." You are going to be old too. You were sick and hospitalized at the end of last year, and your cat parents and mothers were scared. Let Uncle Lin help you to see if you have any diseases, we can guarantee Uncle Lin's craftsmanship. I have seen this place before. The family’s cat is in shock, and other methods are useless, but it was done by Uncle Lin in the past.”

Zheng Tan didn't doubt Ermao's words. Although Ermao was sometimes out of tune, he wouldn't make up such things. Moreover, Dashan's appearance should indeed be the help of that Uncle Lin.

How about asking Uncle Lin to tie it up?

Although it is a cat, Zheng Tan still cherishes the cat's life.

After the room was tidied up, Er Mao went out with Er Yuan, and Zheng Tan followed.

The guest rooms of Er Mao and Wei Leng are all on the second floor. There are many rooms here. Now Er Mao stays in the one he used to live in. When he came in, Zheng Tan also found that there was an extra small bed here, which was newly built not long ago. It is also padded with thick cotton batting, so it will not bump into each other. So, don't look at the old man's indifferent face, in fact, he has already prepared many things and is careful.

When Zheng Tan followed Ermao downstairs, Uncle Lin was giving Dashan a massage in the lobby on the first floor. While massaging, he explained some massage techniques and acupuncture to Gong Qin. Gong Qin listened very carefully.

"Animal acupuncture and moxibustion in our country originated in the primitive society, and then developed initially in the slave society. By the time of the feudal society, a unique academic system had been initially formed. It has spread across the border since the Southern and Northern Dynasties... As for the acupuncture prescription you just mentioned, we It is said that acupuncture points in acupuncture and moxibustion prescriptions are generally composed of monarchs, ministers, assistants, and envoys. There is a saying in "Suwen. Zhizhenyao Dalun", "The king who is in charge of the disease is the king, the minister who assists the king is called the minister, and the minister who responds is called the envoy." Acupoints are the main acupoints in the prescription, which play a major therapeutic role for the main symptoms of the disease. Chen acupoints are acupoints that assist and strengthen the efficacy of Jun acupoints, auxiliary acupoints are acupoints that assist the main acupoints in treating some secondary syndromes, and Shi acupoints coordinate The acupoints work. Let me give you an example, the symptom of spleen deficiency and diarrhea you mentioned just now, the treatment prescription consists of 4 acupoints: Pishu, Jiaochao, Zhigan, and Housanli. It is the acupoint of the ruler, minister, assistant, and envoy."

While speaking, Uncle Lin pointed at Dashan's body, pointed out these four acupuncture points, and then explained to Gong Qin why he chose these four acupuncture points.

"The Jun point Pishu is the back-shu point of the spleen. It is the point where the spleen meridian qi is infused on the back. It is selected as the main point for invigorating the spleen and harmonizing the stomach, regulating qi and stopping diarrhea..."

Over there, one was talking excitedly, and the other was listening carefully, completely forgetting the old man who was sitting in the main seat.

However, the old man, the master, was sitting next to him drinking tea from a teacup, not caring at all, and seemed to be in a good mood.

And Dashan, with his eyes squinted, lay there comfortably with a look of "I'm cool and crooked", enjoying himself very much. After hearing the sound of Ermao and the others coming in, Dashan only moved his ears, but did not open his eyes.

Every time Zheng Tan sees the two tufts of hair on Da Shan's ears, he wants to go and pull them. Of course, it's just thinking about it.

Seeing Zheng Tan following Ermao into the hall, Uncle Lin's eyes lit up. He didn't pay much attention to Zheng Tan when he came, but now he took a closer look and found something was wrong.

"This cat is a bit special." Uncle Lin said.

"What's so special? Tell me." Er Mao asked Er Mao, holding Er Yuan to find a chair beside him and sit down.

At this time, Wei Leng's family also packed up their things and came down from upstairs. Hearing Uncle Lin's words, they also wanted to know what Uncle Lin meant.

"Is this cat a little old?" Uncle Lin said. Although it is a question sentence with "bar", there is affirmation in the words.

Ermao nodded, "Yes, at least one of them is seven or eight years old."

Uncle Lin nodded, "Among cats, they are indeed approaching old age. But, I see, this cat is very strong."

Uncle Lin used the word "strong", not just "healthy".

Ermao gave Uncle Lin a thumbs up, "Your eyes are really poisonous, and you can tell the truth without touching the bones. It's not me, but the black coal is the only one I've ever seen that eats human food and is delicious. Drinking spicy food, wandering around all day causing trouble, still alive and strong until now, but suddenly fell ill at the end of last year, and fell into a coma for a week, but only once, when the illness recovered, it returned to its original state. There is no weakness after illness at all, and the people in the pet center also said that there is no abnormality in the examination. How about, Uncle Lin, can you show me?"

Ermao said so much just to let Uncle Lin show Zheng Tan. If you don't say it carefully, Uncle Lin may not spend too much effort on Zheng Tan. It took a lot of effort, even if you can't see the problem now, Uncle Lin will study it carefully afterwards.

When Ermao said "provoking trouble", Zheng Tan twitched his beard, but thinking that Ermao did it for his own good, Zheng Tan didn't protest.

Sure enough, Uncle Lin was very curious after hearing Er Mao's words. He paused the massage with his hands, and patted Da Shan lightly, "Da Shan, go and sit next to me first. I'll show this little black cat."

After Da Shan got up, he didn't jump directly to the ground, but jumped onto a chair next to him, and looked at Zheng Tan like everyone else.

With so many people and cats staring at him, Zheng Tan came to the oval shelf where Da Shan had been lying on just now. He was a bit uncomfortable, but for the sake of his own life, he had better endure it.

Uncle Lin had been in contact with countless cats, cats and dogs. He knew that the cat was obedient when he saw Zheng Tan, so he stretched out his hand and pressed on Zheng Tan.

Zheng Tan cooperated with Uncle Lin to check.

Soon, Uncle Lin pondered for a while and said, "This cat hasn't slept very well recently."

This is a fact, Zheng Tan has started to dream again recently, coupled with the long-distance travel, the reason why he is not used to being in the car for a long time, sleep is far from good when he is at home, Uncle Lin can see this, Zheng Tan is now more convinced the man's ability.

"It's just..." Uncle Lin paused, and then continued: "Apart from poor sleep and some other minor problems, this cat's physical fitness is not at all like what Ermao you said always eats human food and eats spicy food. A cat that walks around all day."

Human food is relatively salty, let alone the level of delicious food and spicy food?

"Hey, Uncle Lin, I didn't lie to you, like onions, garlic, chocolate and many other things that even cats don't eat, but it eats with open appetite." Ermao said.

Zheng Tan and Uncle Lin: "..." These words sound very awkward.

What do you mean even cats don't eat it? Isn't this a cat? Uncle Lin gave Ermao a sideways look.

"Don't insult me, I haven't finished yet. This cat not only eats these, it also drinks, eats cream and drinks coffee. My family doesn't touch these black rice." Ermao nodded his chin towards Uncle Lin, meaning: You see, it's that weird.

Suspicious, Uncle Lin checked Zheng Tan again, and the result was still the same as before.

"There are no surprises in the world, and there are always a few special cases." Uncle Lin said, "Well, let me give it a few needles first to relieve its insomnia, and to find out if there are other problems that have not been detected. .”

"That's ok, I'm sorry to bother you. Black Coal, bear with it, for the sake of my life, it's okay to get a few needles." Ermao said.

Uncle Lin opened the medicine box that he always carried with him, and began to prepare tools. Ermao and Wei Leng helped move things, and the needles would definitely not be here in the hall.

Eryuan and Fatty Wei were told by their father not to yell and shout, since they want to watch from the sidelines, they can't make trouble, so the two children sat quietly on the chairs, and when they looked at the needle in Uncle Lin's hand, they both It looks like an enemy.

"Uncle Lin, isn't this needle also very particular?" Gong Qin said after seeing the needle that Uncle Lin took out.

"This is for sure. Acupuncture for animals is different from that for humans. The size of the acupuncture point is related to the cross-sectional area of ​​the needle used. If the needle is too thick, it will definitely cause injury. No. 28-30 needles (0.32-0.38mm), but if you use a No. 28 (0.38mm) needle for a mouse, the stimulation intensity will be too high, which is the same as using such a thick needle on a human body .” Uncle Lin compared the width with his hands, which made everyone present tremble.

"On the other hand, the skin of animals is relatively thicker than that of us, and the needles are too thin, which brings great difficulties to acupuncture needle insertion. Therefore, considering some factors, I usually use size 36 (0.2mm) for small mice. needles, but for cats, 28-gauge needles are fine.”

While speaking, Uncle Lin had already made the preparations.

Zheng Tan was still apprehensive about getting needles. He didn't like needles in the first place, but now, as Ermao said, for the sake of his life, why not?

At first he was nervous, but he really got stuck, and that was it. Zheng Tan didn't feel anything special, and gradually he relaxed.

Here Uncle Lin gave Zheng Tan an injection, while Er Mao took out his phone to take a picture over there. After taking the photo, I sent it to the Jiao family and gave acupuncture to the cat. This must be told to the couple.

At this time, in a laboratory of the Chuhua University Academy of Sciences, Dad Jiao had a heavy workload and not enough people to help because a graduate student under him had to take samples today. He happened to wear a lab coat to help when he had time. When Ermao's photo was sent, Papa Jiao's cell phone vibrated. At this time, Papa Jiao had already dealt with the matter almost. He took off one glove, reached into his pocket for the cell phone, and held a gun in the other hand. (A micropipette commonly used in laboratories, commonly known as a gun).

After seeing the picture of a cat with many small needles stuck in his body on the phone, Dad Jiao directly shot out the tip of the pistol with a "click".

A few students of Dad Jiao next to him glanced at each other. Their boss usually pays attention to the laboratory regulations, and the used gun tips will be directly put into the box for discarded gun tips, but now, Professor Jiao will Just shoot the gun head out! What did Professor Jiao get so excited about?

On the other side, Jiao Ma, who was being dragged by several students outside the corridor to practice speaking, also received the picture.

Then, those students heard their usually gentle and gentle English teacher suddenly shouted with surprise: "oh! my! cat!"

Several students: "..." Teacher, you are so excited, God is not a cat.

On the first day of the 11th holiday, I went back to my hometown. There were so many people at the long-distance bus station, and the price was increased and the bus was late. I bought a ticket because there were too many people in the station. When I sat outside on the roadside and waited for the bus, I always thought in my heart: I just have a car T_T
