108 Ways to Heal a Loyal Dog

(22)

On the way back, a heavy rain came.Dark clouds enveloped the city, and the sky was as dark as night.In the nearly stagnant convoy, Lian Qing leaned on the back seat, listening to the raindrops hitting the glass, distracted.

The driver turned on the radio.The hostess and her companions talked about the heavy rain, which had seriously affected traffic on the weekend and even caused power outages in several blocks.

The air in the car was so stuffy that it was almost impossible to breathe.Lian Qing took out the spare umbrella, turned the doorknob and got out of the car.

Before the driver could stop him, Lian Qing had already slammed the car door and glanced at him: "I'll walk back."

Under the strong wind, he struggled to open the black umbrella.The rain came with the wind, and the white shirt was half wet in an instant.Lian Qing only felt cool.The dry heat burning in the body finally got a little comfort.

Horns sounded one after another, wipers rubbed against the glass, neon lights drifted and shattered in the field of vision, turning into groups of color blocks, mixed and intertwined, without distinguishing each other.Most pedestrians sheltered from the rain on the side of the road, only a few people walked against the wind, and among them was Lian Qing who abandoned his car and walked.

There is a park nearby, not far from his apartment in a straight line.He often runs here on weekdays when the weather is fine.He braved the wind and rain, walked with difficulty, and spent half the time longer before returning to his residence.

There are signs of increasing rain.A bolt of lightning flashed over the city, illuminating the dark interior of the house.Lian Qing found a charging desk lamp, and since the laptop was still fully charged, he simply sat on the dining chair and turned it on while wiping his hair.

In the hot summer, even the rain can't eliminate the stuffiness in the house.Not to mention the lack of air conditioning.Lian Qing has no appetite and devotes all her energy to the computer.The proposal of a unique research perspective stems from countless painstaking literature of predecessors and the efforts of researchers to deepen, deepen, deepen, and dig again.

Those books, papers, experimental results and more fragments written in various languages ​​along the coast are like an ancient palace submerged in the sand and dust, beautiful and luxurious, but equally ruined.You catch a glimpse of its splendor as it is built, bewitched and delighted.But turn your head, and you're lost in the broken details, unaware, terrified, and arduous.

Stomach cramps.Lian Qing had to look away from the screen.He curled up on the chair, and took out the spare medicine from the pocket of the desk.Reluctantly, he poured himself a glass of water, and when he was about to swallow, he suddenly remembered the life in his stomach.So he turned his head and spat the pills into the trash can.

This kind of situation is not unfamiliar to men, and it is not difficult to deal with it.He rested his head on the table, rubbing his stomach with one hand, and resting the other on his lap.Time passed by, and the symptoms did not ease as he expected, but became more serious.Stomach churns, and there is also a faint pain in the lower abdomen.Sweat flowed down one by one, and on a hot day, he was so cold that he began to shiver.

The phone rang.Lian Qing struggled to connect.

"Teacher Lian, didn't I bother you?"

"What's the matter?" It was Dr. Wu, Associate Professor Wu, his favorite student and the second person in charge of the domestic research group.

"Didn't you ask about Su Shan's situation before..." The other party faltered and hesitated, "I just got some news about the academic affairs today, saying that it was him..."

Sweat ran down the tip of his nose, Lian Qing frowned, and managed to keep his voice steady: "Academic affairs?"

"Well... say... that Su Shan took a leave of absence in April. Originally, you must have agreed to this kind of thing. But it seems that the leader directly handles this matter. Until now, the news is basically kept secret..."

Professor Wu's voice became smaller and smaller, and then stopped abruptly, returning to silence.Lian Qing turned pale and cut off the call.His forehead hurts with anger.leave school? ! !What can Hugh learn? ! !Who the hell can do it for him? ! !It's just...! ! !

He slammed the water glass on the table, got up angrily, his eyes went black, his knees softened, and he knelt down on the ground with a bang.

There was darkness in front of his eyes, as if there was a huge vortex, spinning and sucking him in.At this moment, suddenly the phone rang again.

In the dark field of vision, the ringtone gradually decreased, and before it disappeared completely, Lian Qing touched it.

"Hi, Ah Qing, are you home?..."

He lost consciousness completely.

Lian Sha stared at the phone in a daze, and after a few seconds, he suddenly came to his senses.

The companions who followed were surprised to see the black-haired youth push out from the crowd and walk in the opposite direction.Before he had time to ask, Lian Sha, who left in a hurry, was submerged in the flow of people after class.

The dense rain curtain that brushed down rendered the outdoors bleak and tyrannical. Lian Sha walked in the rain and made a phone call in a panic.Finally, after repeated busy calls, the person on the other end finally picked it up with great kindness.

"Hi. Uncle, it's me. I want to go to Lian Qing's place...I..." Maybe the person on the other end of the phone asked something, the young man paused, bit his lip and remained silent for two seconds, then nodded again : "Yes. I'm worried about him. I want to go."

The phone hangs up.Lian Sha put the schoolbag on his back on his head and ran out of the school gate in the rain.

Twenty minutes later, Lian Sha jumped out of the car, and without waiting for the bodyguards behind him to catch up, he ran towards a building next to the street familiarly.He inserted the key and twisted it, and with a creak, the antique wrought iron carved door opened in the night.

This is an old apartment building.The streets are lined with tall sycamore trees, which is an excellent place for passers-by to enjoy the shade in hot summer.However, at this moment, the sky is dark and cloudy, and the dark yellow fur of the sycamore tree gathers large leaves and piles up on the side of the road full of rain.From time to time, a little rain fell, making a circle of small ripples in the puddles, reminding people that the storm had not completely dissipated.

It was pitch black inside the house.Lian Sha called tentatively in the living room, but no one answered.The whole apartment is like a silent tomb, forgotten in the gap of time.Lian Sha turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and searched around the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom in turn.The apartment is not big, and from the flashing light, you can see its cleanliness and tidiness.However, in the space that can be regarded as unobstructed, he turned around again, but still didn't see any human shadows.

"Lian Qing!" The young man shouted anxiously, but there was no response as expected.Did he go out?He turned to the porch, saw the car keys hanging on the wall, and vetoed this conjecture.Frowning, he decided to search one last lap.

This time he carefully searched every nook and cranny.He even lifted the sheet and looked under the bed.Who told him that the person he was looking for would turn into an animal!

There was the last bedroom left, but Lian Sha stopped.He pricked up his ears to catch it carefully, and besides the passing wind, he also heard a very subtle breath.He followed the sound back into the living room, across the porch, and into the dining room.

The dining room was used by Lian Qing as half of the study.It is the area with the most items and the messiest in the house.There is a hollow bookshelf beside the dining table, full of tomes of paper products.Lian Sha approached step by step with his mobile phone, the breath became more and more obvious, and he could hear it almost without calming down.

Lian Sha stopped.Put the phone on the table and let the flashlight shine behind the bookshelf.Bit by bit the black shadows are brightened, revealing objects hidden behind.

It was a huge black dog, mighty and domineering, with thick fur.It was lying on the floor with its limbs facing outwards, motionless, somewhat similar to the last time it was seen.

"Caesar..." Lian Sha unconsciously called out.

The dog didn't move.The young man was stunned for a while, and hurried over to pick it up.Caesar was very heavy, and Lian Sha struggled to move to the door.When he looked up, he saw the two bodyguards following him standing on one side, the other on the right, staring at him blankly, with shocked expressions on their faces.

Shocked a bird!Lian Sha cursed secretly in his heart, glared at the two of them, hoping for a smarter help, but the two of them seemed to be frightened, bowed at ninety degrees to him, and ran downstairs first.

Lian Sha was extremely depressed, so he had to grit his teeth and move down the stairs step by step.Moving to the last step of the stairs, the "secrecy and intimacy of the animal shape" that Lian Jiang had popularized with him suddenly sounded, and he was enlightened to understand it. Let the bodyguard find a blanket and wrap it around the dog to avoid the so-called "immoral" risk.

Half an hour later, in the hospital run by Lian, the stretcher had already been brought over.The angels in white looked at each other and formed a half circle, no one dared to take over.

Lian Sha sat on the chair and gently scratched Caesar's neck with his hand.He didn't know the situation, so he could only wait here.The dog was still asleep, its golden eyes were narrowed into slits, and its ears were drooping. If it wasn't for the slight ups and downs of its body, Lian Sha would have opened his throat and roared.

Fortunately he didn't have to wait long.Five minutes after he arrived, the suzerain of the Lian clan hurried over: "Ah Qing, are you okay?!"

"...Maybe... okay?" Lian Sha speculated, not sure.

Lian Jiang directed the bodyguards to lift the stretcher, completely ignoring the doctors and nurses surrounding him who were about to salute him: "Tell Dean Lin that the meeting will be changed to Ward E. ... Also, call Professor Zhou from the obstetrics department."

The onlooker medical team acted instantly.Those who called people called people, those who took instruments took instruments, and those who pressed the elevators pressed the elevators. They were well-coordinated, orderly and efficient, and completely swept away the bad impression left on Liansha a moment ago.

The elevator doors opened.The medical brigade walked straight to one side.Caesar was safely placed on the stretcher, still wrapped in the same blanket.Lian Sha followed Lian Jiang, not knowing which team to follow.

"Follow me." Lian Jiang's face was gloomy, and his eyes were rarely cold.He walked very fast, with great strides, and his whole person smelled of killing and decisiveness.Let Liansha dare not ask more.

In the small conference room, the dean and obstetrics director of this hospital were in awe.Suzerain Lian and Lian Sha sat opposite them, looking down at the documents on the table.A few minutes passed, Lian Jiang took the lead to put down the report, and sighed heavily.

"Sovereign, this forecast report is calculated based on the data you sent earlier. As you can see, the situation...is not very good."

Observing Lian Jiang's face, Dean Lin considered his words.

"Principal Lin, you must all know what the young master looks like. To make a long story short, what is your most recommended solution now?"

Dean Lin and Professor Zhou looked at each other.Professor Zhou took the conversation in embarrassment. Under Lian Jiang's sharp gaze and heavy pressure, he instantly forgot all the words he had thought up and uttered two words:

"Induced labor."

Lian Sha's eyes widened unconsciously.

Lian Jiang's hands trembled: "Is there no other possibility?"

A small gap appeared in the powerful coercion, and Professor Zhou was able to recover from his instinct.He coughed in embarrassment: "Overall considerations, induction of labor is the best solution. But the young master's physical fitness has always been good. If he gets proper treatment, the current situation should improve. Only then can we decide on the next step of diagnosis and treatment plan."

"But I have a question... Judging from the historical physical records of the young master, pregnancy will not cause the current data. Let alone the appearance of a beast... I dare to ask, is the gentleman next to you Is the blood father of the young master's child?"

All eyes were on Lian Sha.The person who had been silently serving as the backdrop straightened up and nodded: "I am Ah Qing's fiancé..." He paused, glanced at Lian Jiang, and continued, "Lian Sha."

A name I've never heard of.The answer is clear at a glance.Dean Lin and Professor Zhou slandered silently, there was no need for discussion at all.The birth rate of alien animals has always been very low, and it is directly related to the parents' abilities.Too much difference in abilities or different clans will cause Lian Qing's situation.

The atmosphere fell into a kind of wonderful weirdness.Lian Sha knew that his answer should be very important.It can be seen from now on.But he was completely ignorant of the common sense among such strange beasts, so he could only be at a loss.

When Lian Sha came to the ward, the emergency treatment for Lian Qing was over.Caesar was gone, replaced by a handsome man lying on a hospital bed.The monitoring equipment was ticking, and Lian Sha stared at the screen showing the heartbeat for a while, then turned his gaze back to the hospital bed.

Lian Qing was unconscious, with a needle stuck in the back of her bare hand.The light hit the side of his face, making that resolute and cold face extremely pale and weak.

Footsteps sounded from behind: "Do you regret it?"

Lian Sha turned his head and saw Lian Xun in a suit standing at the door, staring at him deeply.

He and Lian Qing have too similar eyes.Lian Sha couldn't help turning his head away: "I don't understand what you mean, uncle."

"After today, the news of Ah Qing's unmarried pregnancy will spread throughout the clan. Even if he has a fiancé, it will be an out-and-out scandal." Lian Xun continued to stare at him, and stated flatly, "What's more, His fiancé has no power and low ability. You will be ridiculed. Those who fail to achieve their goals will secretly contribute to the flames. They will abuse you, some extremists, and may even choose to attack you. You will encounter ambushes, conspiracy , or even assassination."

"Why?" Lian Sha was quite surprised.

"Didn't Lian Jiang tell you about this?" Lian Xun sneered, "The successor of the Lian family is not only superficially glamorous."

"They don't attack Ah Qing now because he is dead, and Lian Jiang can designate another heir. But once you get married, you can't change it. If both of you die for some reason, your child will be the first choice. heir."

"At that time, this clan that has not been peaceful for many years, I don't know how many people will start jumping up and down..." Lian Xun squinted at him, his tone extremely mocking.He sat down beside Lian Qing, tucked him in the quilt, was silent for a while, then suddenly added:

"Young man, you still have a chance."

This news is really full of gold.Lian Sha responded with a few words casually, then excused himself to leave and went up to the rooftop.Unexpectedly, the calm place he imagined was already occupied by others.Under the falling raindrops, the slanted bulbs cast a dim light. A man was leaning on the railing, smoking a cigarette with his head bowed.

"...Are you here?" The other party turned around and smiled at him, "Come with me, Xiaoshan?"

Lian Sha, that is Su Shan, took the cigarette handed by the other party and bit it into his mouth, and leaned towards the railing: "Uncle, do you know when Lian Qing will wake up?"

"Tomorrow morning, almost." Lian Jiang puffed out smoke, his eyelashes fluttered, and his lips turned white. "He recovered his human form with drugs. So it will take a little more time to really wake up on his own."

"Beast shape...is it a very dangerous state?" Su Shan guessed, recalling Lian Qing's state before seeing Caesar last time.

"It's dangerous. You can roughly reduce it to shock." Lian Jiang explained, "When we are in animal form, our minds have basically returned to animals, and it is difficult to maintain the thinking ability in human form. After returning to human form, the memory at that time There will also be varying degrees of loss and blurring.”

"Wolves, lions, tigers, eagles...Compared with weak humans, these animals are more cruel and ruthless, and they are more in line with the laws of nature. It's just that they are not easy to tame and control. But humans have discovered strange beasts, so these problems are not a problem gone."

"Emperors like our animal shape. But modern society requires us to be more like humans. In order to survive, we have transformed even this most primitive and ancient nature into a 'disease'. I don't know whether it is progress or regression?"

This is Lian Jiang's distraught complaint.Su Shan could understand because he was also upset.Things exceeded both of their expectations.

"Uncle, I have a request that I want you to agree to."

Su Shan took a deep puff of the cigarette and threw the cigarette butt on the ground.
