Chapter 529: Chapter 247: Bai Wan Bites Someone
"The situation isn’t good."
While taking rapid notes, Luo City said in a low voice, "Malnutrition and dehydration, external parasitic infections, plus minor respiratory problems and old injuries. We need to deworm them and replenish their fluids and nutrients as soon as possible."
"I need to collect blood samples and skin scrapings for further testing."
"Go ahead, I’ll help you hold them still," Yang Qi said with a nod, having finished taking pictures.
The situation was a little worse than he had expected.
The subsequent blood draw and skin scraping were more delicate procedures.
Luo City’s technique was deft, his movements both swift and steady, minimizing the animals’ pain and anxiety as much as possible.
Yang Qi, for his part, kept soothing them, gently stroking the two red pandas. Using his Spirit Communication Technique, he constantly reassured them, ’It’ll be over soon,’ ’It doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt,’ and ’There’ll be yummy food in a moment.’
Throughout the process, the two red pandas trembled nervously, their round eyes full of anxiety. But under Yang Qi’s continuous reassurance and Luo City’s precise, swift procedures, they surprisingly didn’t struggle violently. They only let out soft, pitiful whimpers, cooperating with the entire examination.
When Luo City had finished collecting all the samples and stored them away safely, his forehead was beaded with sweat—partly from the tension, and partly from being utterly stunned by Yang Qi’s almost magical ability to soothe the animals.
He’d been a veterinarian for many years and had rescued his fair share of wild animals, but he had never seen two wild red pandas cooperate so completely through a full preliminary exam in such a short time.
This was beyond the scope of mere animal affinity; it was like magic.
"Director, you’re absolutely incredible..." Luo City couldn’t help but murmur in admiration.
"They’re just well-behaved on their own."
Yang Qi just smiled, offering no further explanation.
While speaking, he took more photos of the two red pandas and sent them all to Feng Jianye.
He then glanced at the time. The examination had taken about half an hour. Though exhausted, the two red pandas were emotionally stable.
"Dr. Luo, you go process the samples and get the results as soon as possible. Draw up a treatment plan as well. Whatever medicine and equipment you need, file a direct request. We’ll have it fast-tracked. I’ll watch them for now," Yang Qi said.
"Yes, Director."
Luo City picked up his tools and the samples. He glanced one more time at the two red pandas huddled by Yang Qi’s feet, treating him as their rock, and gave a silent nod of approval before quickly leaving the enclosure.
Once Luo City had gone, only Yang Qi and the two red pandas remained in the enclosure.
Yang Qi didn’t leave immediately. He stayed with them a little longer, watching them drink some water before they found a comfortable position on the pile of hay to lie down and rest.
After confirming no one else was around and that the security camera couldn’t see the details of this corner, Yang Qi had an idea. From his Hundred Pouches Belt, he retrieved two Strengthening Pills.
He placed the pills in his palm and held them out to the two red pandas.
"Try this."
[What is this?]
[It smells a little nice.]
The two red pandas sniffed, calling out softly.
Then, each extended a pink tongue, scooped up a pill, and swallowed it.
The pills dissolved the moment they entered their mouths, transforming into a gentle warmth that quickly spread through their entire bodies.
The effect was almost instantaneous. The two red pandas’ spirits improved considerably, and their weary eyes brightened.
They lifted their heads and let out affectionate, soft calls toward Yang Qi.
[Thank you, Two-legged Beast.]
[My body is warm. It feels so good.]
"As long as you’re comfortable."
Yang Qi patted their heads and smiled. "For the next few days, you can rest easy here. Dr. Luo will take good care of you and give you delicious food. Once you’ve recovered, I’ll take you to a bigger, more beautiful place with lots of bamboo and friends, okay?"
[Okay!]
The two red pandas responded in unison, their round eyes filled with anticipation.
Yang Qi stayed with them a while longer, until they had completely relaxed, snuggled together on the hay, and fallen into a deep sleep, letting out soft, even snores. Only then did he quietly get up and tiptoe out of the enclosure, pulling the door closed but not locking it.
...
After leaving the quarantine and isolation area, Yang Qi was heading to his office when his phone began to ring just as he reached a corner on the main path.
He pulled out his phone. It was his grandma.
He answered at once, trying to speak first. "Grandma, I’m almost finished here. I’ll be home soon—"
"Xiaoqi, something’s happened!"
His grandma’s panicked voice came through the phone. "I don’t know how it happened, but Bai Wan bit someone!"
’Bai Wan bit someone?’
The smile vanished from Yang Qi’s face. His voice turned grim. "Grandma, are you okay? You’re not hurt, are you?"
"I’m fine."
His grandma quickly replied, "It’s Old Jiang from the next village. He came to our private plot on the back mountain and somehow ended up in a confrontation with Bai Wan. He got bit on the hand, and it’s bleeding a lot."
"He’s been taken to the hospital now, but his son, daughter-in-law, and a whole crowd of people from the Jiang Family are blocking our front door. They’re screaming... they’re screaming that they’re going to kill Bai Wan!"
