My wife is a dragon

Chapter 138 - Maybe the evil dragon is a genius

In the pet shop on the first floor.

Xia Li had a large bag of supplies hanging on his arm.

The little dragon in front of him was comparing the prices of two packs of cat strips, and then he chose a pack with a high cost-effectiveness and threw it into the basket.

Xia Li had already prepared himself mentally for the adoption of Cotton this time.

But when he checked out, he still felt a little pain.

It seemed that he had to put the road of working on the agenda.

His wallet became even emptier, and most of the 5,000 yuan that Ms. Fang had helped him with last time had been used up.

The food expenses would only last for another two months before they were exhausted.

"How much is it in total?"

As soon as the cashier finished scanning the goods, Lucia leaned forward to look at the prices on it.

Xia Li moved sideways to block it.

His broad shoulders completely blocked Lucia's sight. Lucia didn't look at anything, and then she heard a "beep~" sound, and the payment was successful.

These things were not for her little dragon to see.

It was not Lucia's turn to worry about money at home.

Xia Li silently closed the payment interface on his phone and put it back in his pocket.

"How much is it?"

Lucia, who saw nothing, asked behind Xia Li.

Xia Li carried two bags of cat food weighing 12 kilograms to the car, and Lucia grunted to help.

After putting cat litter and cat beds on the car, the trunk of the car obviously sank a lot.

"It's not much, you don't have to worry about it."

Seeing that the evil dragon still had no intention of letting go of this question, Xia Li clapped his hands and answered as if nothing had happened.

Lucia calmed her little face and was silent for a while.

She just saw the price of each item, and those unit prices were not cheap.

After roughly calculating the numbers in her mind, Lucia successfully confused herself, and finally grabbed Xia Li's arm and said sincerely.

"I will eat less in the future and use the little money I save to grow cotton."

"Don't say that."

Xia Li was amused and annoyed. He was moved and a little annoyed.

"You make me feel like a loser when you say that."

However, this matter does need to be faced.

Although the online serialized records have begun to generate a considerable income, this income is not stable enough, and the book may suddenly disappear one day.

Xia Li never expected to support himself with this book. After all, this job is only a part-time job. As for the main job, he still needs to think about it.

If there is really no good idea for starting a business, Xia Li will go to work as a worker first.

It is better to take action than to be a daydreamer at home.

Going out to get in touch with society and learn some social experience is also a kind of progress.

Take Lucia back to the pet hospital on the second floor.

The doctor who was responsible for the physical examination of Cotton sent Cotton out, and the thin little calico cat was wrapped in Xia Li's light gray towel.

After a series of examinations and tossing, Cotton became much weaker.

It raised its little head and saw the familiar two people, and then it meowed in a soft voice.

When Lucia heard this voice, she was completely fascinated and quickly took Cotton from the veterinarian.

"The internal and external deworming has been completed. At present, the kitten has no problems except malnutrition."

Doctor Li said: "The biochemical results will not be available for half an hour... Do you want to take it back first and we will send you the results in electronic form, or wait a little longer and get the paper version?"

Xia Li glanced at the evil dragon who was playing with Cotton with his fingers, and replied after thinking for a moment.

"My girlfriend can't read the electronic version... Let's wait here."

"Okay," Dr. Li nodded, "Then you sit here for a while, and when the report comes out, I'll ask the front desk to bring it to you."

"Then thank you for your trouble."

After explaining the work, Dr. Li returned to the office to receive the next round of guests.

"Don't play with it with your fingers, doing so will make it develop the habit of biting people."

The evil dragon next to him couldn't let go of the kitten, and Xia Li grabbed her little hand and corrected this bad habit.

"But Cotton doesn't dare to bite me." Lucia said aggrievedly.

Xia Li didn't believe it and demonstrated it himself: "It's easy to get bitten if you tease small animals with your hands. There are too many such examples on the Internet."

As he said that, Xia Li stretched out his hand.

Cotton was very respectful and acted as a negative example. He opened his mouth and bit Xia Li's finger.

"Hehehe..."

Lucia laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth.

Xia Li: "..."

"It doesn't dare to bite you, it only dares to bite me." Xia Li concluded.

"Meow~"

The cat in the evil dragon's arms raised its head and made a sweet and aggrieved cat cry to Xia Li.

Lucia laughed even more.

What cat relying on the dragon's power.

His position as a brother in the family is a bit worrying.

But... why is this cat's personality the same as the dragon's.

It bit him and meowed sweetly at him.

As a brave warrior who has seen the world, how could Xia Li fall for this kind of trick?

And he fell for it.

"As dumb as a dragon."

Xia Li's big hand rubbed the little dragon's hair that was tied into a ball.

The expression on Lucia's face was halfway through laughing and then stopped.

'As dumb as a dragon'

Just five words... It sounded like he was called dumb twice.

The dragon's head was burned by Xia Li's words again.

Xia Li was so happy that he rubbed the soft and glutinous dragon claws into his palm and walked forward.

"Let's go, go around."

"Um……"

Lucia is also quite interested in places like pet hospitals.

The humans in this world are different from those plunderers on the Azero continent.

They are friendly to any animal and will not only build zoos for homeless wild animals, but also distribute medical resources to treat small animals with homes.

Before this, Lucia had only seen an animal slaughterhouse on the Azero continent. The term "pet hospital" was still too magical for her.

The two passed through the hospital's corridor.

The left and right rows of the corridor are rooms of the same size, and each room is a veterinarian in a white coat is consulting.

Xia Li thought about it in her mind and found that the scale of this pet hospital is indeed quite large.

When Xia Li just saw a hundred staff members in the introduction bar at the door, he subconsciously felt that this was a false blow.

In a pet hospital, can there be hundreds of employees? Not the People's Hospital.

As a result, I have been wandering around now and found that it is really possible that it is more than a hundred.

From the consultation room to the biochemical laboratory, as well as small rooms for X-rays, ultrasounds, and CT, the medical level of this pet hospital is top-notch in Shu Province.

No wonder there is a steady stream of visitors, and every doctor looks very busy. The reputation of this hospital should be very good in the pet circle.

How much money do you have to make this day...

Xia Li was confused.

For him, a poor and employed person with tight hair, when he sees such a store with a big business, he will subconsciously have the idea of being linked to money.

Walking to the end of the room, there is a large room here, with iron cages in the room filled the entire wall.

There are three big words "Inpatient Department" hanging at the door.

Xia Li didn't open the door and went in, but just stood at the door and glanced inside.

He saw the cat who had fled and was deported.

This cat is visually adult, and its half-black and half-white Yin and Yang face makes it look not only a bit nervous, but also a kind of evil feeling.

He glanced at the movement outside the room, and the cow cat yawned lazily, lay on his side in the cage and fell asleep, stretching his limbs straight.

It's worthy of being a cow cat.

This sleeping position looks like someone lying on the bed.

"There are rats in the hospital..."

Lucia also tiptoed and followed Xia Li to look into the room.

The neatly arranged iron cages in the inpatient department made the scalp numb.

There are also rooms full of cages on the Aze Continent, but the animals in them are all used to kill them, and here they are used to save lives.

"The flower branch rat was particularly popular in the Year of the Rat a few years ago and has rarely been seen recently," said Xia Li.

Lucia murmured: "I actually locked the mouse and the cat in the same room..."

"Ha ha."

Xia Li also thought this matter was quite outrageous, but the beds in this hospital were tight and probably didn't care so much about species zoning.

He took Lucia's little hand and returned the same way.

Lucia held the kitten in her arms with one hand. Since the other dragon claw was controlled by Xia Li, she could only rub the cotton with her head and face.

"..."

Seeing this scene, Xia Li was envious.

"That big dog must have a stomachache."

Passing by a clinic, Lucia glanced at the golden retriever lying on the examination table and said.

"How do you know?" Xia Li was surprised.

"Because it breathes worsen, and the stomach is thrusting when it breathes..."

Lucia thought for a while and found that she couldn't tell a reason, but her intuition thought so.

Dragons are a race with very accurate intuition.

Humans on the Aze continent even once believed that this race had a sixth sense that exceeds the normal sense.

Especially these weak beasts that are suppressed by their bloodlines, the dragon clan can easily see through them.

"…You still have this talent?"

Xia Li pinched her chin and thought for a while, and suddenly felt enlightened.

Maybe Lucia is a genius in the veterinary world?

"What's the problem with Corgi here?"

"Eat too much, not digestible," Lucia stood at the half-open door, glanced at the fat orange puppy inside, and added.

"The stomach must be full of feces."

At the same time, the veterinarian in the clinic pressed the Corgi's belly with his hand and listened to it under his chest with a stethoscope.

"The stomach should have some problems. My stomach is hard. Have you not defecate for a long time?"

"It's a bit... I took it out recently, but it didn't go to the bathroom and didn't eat much."

The veterinarian in the clinic asked questions and answers.

"I'm super?" Xia Li exclaimed.

"How to solve this situation?" he asked the little dragon beside him.

Lucia said without hesitation: "The dogs in the wild choose to eat grass to induce vomiting. Some special plants will cause diarrhea after eating them. They will use this method to help themselves solve their problems."

"No big problem," the voice of the veterinarian speaking came from inside the room.

"Prepare a laxative in a while. If it doesn't work, use Kaisat. Pay attention to feeding some probiotics."

The veterinarian writes the prescription.

Xia Li was stunned at the door.

Although the solutions vary according to the level of civilization, the conclusions are completely consistent.

Xia Li still thinks it is a coincidence, and the pets in the two rooms are not in serious condition.

He dragged Lucia to find the next target.

In another consultation room with the door completely closed, a short-haired cat with silver and white stripes was lying on the table.

It looked extremely weak, breathing short and rapid, and its half-open eyes seemed a little sluggish because it could not focus.

The pet owner in the room was talking with emotion, wiping his tears while talking.

Lucia looked at it from a distance through the glass window.

Then she frowned slightly and said to Xia Li with some regret.

"There is a problem with the heart... I feel like I'm going to die."

Xia Li stood at the door and looked into the room.

Although he could not see what the two people inside were communicating, Xia Li saw with his own eyes the veterinarian in a white coat typing paragraphs of text on the computer.

'The left ventricle is obviously enlarged. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Suspected attack. Sudden death?’

The hand holding the dragon claw tightened, and Xia Li took her away from the long corridor.

“Lucia…”

Lucia sat on a chair in the waiting room and stroked Cotton. After being abused by her for a few times, Cotton was no longer afraid of her. It even raised its head to meet the dragon claws that stretched out.

Hearing Xia Li calling her name, Lucia looked up in confusion.

After a while of careful consideration, Xia Li asked.

“What do you think about being a veterinarian in the future?”

“Veterinarian?”

“It’s the doctors in white clothes in the rooms we saw just now. They are responsible for treating small animals.”

“Oh… I’m a doctor?” Lucia was curious about this question.

But if you think about it carefully, this is indeed one of the few things she can do.

Saving small animals… seems to be a kind of social value, right?

“I’ll be a doctor right now!”

Lucia is a man of action, and she goes as soon as she says she will.

She was holding cotton and was about to go to the front desk to discuss with the receptionist, but Xia Li grabbed her.

"Wait, you can't go now."
