Why not hang yourself on the southeast tree

At first, Mr. Xie made an appointment on his mobile phone and chose the gastroenterology department.

When the doctor touched the area, he found that it didn't hurt here or there.

[You also said that you started feeling uncomfortable the day after eating barbecue and beer. Based on my experience, it might be pancreatitis, but we still have to wait for the final test results to make a conclusion. Did you not eat breakfast? ]

[Ah, I didn’t eat or drink a sip of water because I was afraid of having to be examined.]

【good……】

Then the doctor stopped talking, staring at the computer screen and tinkering with the keyboard.

After clicking OK with the mouse, a list with a QR code will be printed out.

——Mr. Xie received a long list of inspection items and scanned it with his mobile phone, 798.

It was more than his turnover in the morning. It really hurt.

The doctor looked very young, and Mr. Xie felt a little unsure.

Niu Niu’s mother took the list and looked at it. Most of the words on it were letters and symbols, which she couldn’t understand.

[Okay, let’s go get our blood drawn first. It’s better to see a professional doctor than to endure the pain and guess blindly! ]

By the time all the inspection items were completed and he climbed up and down the stairs, he wasn't tired at all. He was almost starving to the point of having tinnitus.

Niu Niu's mother had no choice but to accompany him out to find food again, at least to fill his stomach and prevent his blood sugar from being low.

Near noon, all the test results were printed out and placed in front of the doctor.

[It is indeed acute pancreatitis! I also have fatty liver and gallstones in my gallbladder, wow…]

[You are really patient. This acute illness is very painful. Don't do this again in the future. If you find something wrong, you should see a doctor immediately and take medicine if necessary. Minor problems can lead to big problems.]

Old Xie was scolded by the young doctor with a tender face. His face turned red to his neck and he stammered, "Yes, yes, yes, yes."

Niu Niu's mother was also unhappy and secretly tickled his lower back.

The doctor saw their little movements, but smiled and said nothing.

[Doctor, can you tell us what we should pay attention to next time? I'll take notes! ]

Niu Niu's mother, who was very strict in her thinking, took out the notebook she carried with her from her bag and planned to carry out the doctor's instructions as if they were an imperial decree.

[Eat regularly and in moderation. If you can avoid late-night snacks such as barbecue, you should give it up. Acute pancreatitis is usually caused by overeating. If it happens too often and becomes a chronic disease, it will be very troublesome.]

[Okay, okay, I will definitely urge him to do this. What else? ]

Old Xie looked at his wife with amusement as she wrote frantically in a small notebook and stared at people, and sat quietly aside as a background board.

[Don’t smoke or drink, drink more water, and don’t sit for long periods of time. Fatty liver can only be controlled through exercise and a balanced diet. ]

[Okay, I will definitely not give him pocket money to buy alcohol, no matter how hard anyone tries to persuade him.]

Well, Lao Xie’s greatest hobby was ruthlessly taken away.

After returning from the hospital, Niu Niu's mother strictly followed the doctor's advice and urged Niu Niu's father to eat and drink water on time. She always laughed off calls from her drinking buddies and changed the subject.

[My husband, Mr. Xie, drank too much and got sick and was admitted to the hospital. You guys should drink more slowly. Your health should be your top priority...]

This kind of earnest persuasion, those friends and family members are probably so tired of talking that their lips are almost bald...

So, under the leadership of Niu Niu's mother, Lao Xie followed Niu Niu and shifted their attention to me, the little turtle.

Niu Niu had already revealed the truth that she was only interested in Xiao Guigui for a short period of time.

Seeing his parents still so enthusiastic after a busy day in the store, the little one was also influenced and his interest was rekindled.

It's almost the beginning of winter, and I, the little turtle, need to hibernate.

Before hibernation, I need to store enough fat and nutrients, so Niu Niu and her father give me extra meals.

The amount of raw meat in one meal increased from a tiny bit to a strip as thick as a finger, and I ate it until I was full.

The baby turtles are only fed once a day, mainly because I don’t like to eat much. Their eyes only light up when they see meat.

Electrolyzed vitamins are a pure waste of money.

Lao Xie dropped some water into the water, and I found that the water changed color, and I refused to go into the water.

Even if he threw me in, I would quickly crawl out using my hands and feet, looking as if I was afraid of death.

The solar heating lamp came in handy. In late autumn there was a big temperature difference between morning and evening, and my lips were always frozen black. I was only a sneeze away from catching a cold, but they couldn't tell.

Fortunately, this package marked as fragile arrived in time. Once I plugged in the power, I was fully revived, and my frozen limbs paddled happily in the water.

Old Xie was very far-sighted and even equipped me with an oxygen pump, but I am only the size of a palm now, so I don't need it and have piled it in the turtle-specific cabinet on the balcony.

A family of four worked together to build me a super luxurious fish tank, which was divided into dry and wet areas. The bottom of the water was covered with colorful stream stones and planted with aquatic plants. They also inserted a water thermometer in it for me.

Sometimes, when I was basking in the sun lamp in a daze, I would suddenly see Lao Xie’s wide-open eyes through the glass of the water tank, and my heart would start pounding with fear.

On an ordinary morning, while brushing his teeth, Mr. Xie looked out the window and saw, “It’s snowing!”

He quickly called his wife over, and together they lay on the windowsill and looked down. It had been snowing all night, and everything outside was covered in silver. He estimated that the snow on the ground was about a foot thick, but as it was too early, no footprints could be seen.

Niu Niu's mother suddenly thought of the little turtle and quickly turned her head around, her footsteps pounding. Her heart was pounding, fearing that the little thing had frozen to death after not being seen overnight.

[Eh? Husband, come and see the little turtle! ]

Old Xie was only a step behind her. The couple leaned head to head, almost staring into each other's eyes, but they couldn't tell whether the little turtle, which had retracted its limbs into its shell, was breathing...

Niu Niu, who was supposed to get up an hour later, also came out of the room and closed the door quietly. The alarm clock didn't ring and her grandma was still sleeping.

[Mom, Dad, what are you playing? Niuniu wants to play too! ]

Niu Niu didn't notice that it was snowing outside. She was half asleep and half awake when she heard her mother calling her father, so she came out to join in the fun.

Niu Niu’s mother didn’t know what to say, for she was afraid that her child would feel sad to know early in the morning that her friend was suspected to be dead.

Old Xie was not so thoughtful and just said it carelessly.

[I don't know if the little turtle is hibernating, it's in a different state than usual. 】

【ah? ! 】

The little girl grabbed her father's trouser leg, indicating that he should pick her up.

As a result, Mr. Xie did not expect that as soon as Niu Niu got close to the fish tank, she stretched out her fingers at lightning speed and knocked over the little turtles one by one with one finger, as rough and direct as ever.

The little turtle didn't move.

Niu Niu tilted her head, thinking that Xiao Guigui was just like her, sometimes pretending to be dead and staying in bed because he didn't want to get up to go to school.

So she stretched out both hands and turned the little turtle over and over, left and right, like she was frying vegetables.

The couple were speechless.

As a little turtle, I am also speechless.

When Niu Niu was about to turn me over again, I slapped her impatiently.

Enough for a few people to realize that I was not really dead.

Old Xie finally knew to stop his daughter. [Niuniu, stop making trouble. The little turtle is hibernating. It will sleep all winter. Let's not disturb it.]

The world was quiet and I had a very long dream.

When I woke up that day, the room was quiet.

The fish tank was placed on the balcony, with the warm sunlight shining in. I stretched myself and found that I seemed to have grown two sizes silently.

I strolled around to stretch my muscles, and somehow I climbed out of the fish tank. I turned over and fell on the balcony with my four legs up in the air.

A dark shadow loomed.

It is a large black bird.

【Ga----】

Take a bite and it’s crunchy.

The weak and pitiful little turtle who had just woken up was snatched away by a big bird.

It was said that one turtle would pass down the family line for three generations, but now the turtle is gone and the people are still here? !
