mouse change

One day, after a meal, Lin Lichuan and Xi Mu passed by the pet shop by coincidence.

The pet shop is quite a trick. The transparent glass side is full of cages. When people pass by, they can turn their heads and see all kinds of cute animals. The mice and bunnies occupy the middle position, which is very conspicuous.

Xi Mu remembered that he had never walked in as a human being, so he couldn't bear it!

Pulling Lin Lichuan and stepping in the door, Xi Mu stood by the cage and looked at those ignorant little animals. He really felt that the cuteness was about to be poked.

All of them are small and soft, looking at you with a pair of innocent and clear eyes, tilting their heads and kicking their feet at any time, how can they not be cute?Xi Mu suppressed a smile and saw two little hamsters rolled into a ball in the corner, their short legs scratched at each other frantically, and they were fighting hard.He quickly called the clerk to ask the mice to be separated.

"This..." The round-faced little girl was a little distressed, "They are packed together, it's useless to separate them, there are no more cages."

"But, is it really okay to let it go like this?" Xi Mu couldn't bear it.

"No problem, nothing serious will happen." The little girl shook her head affirmatively.

Xi Mu carefully looked at the mice in the cage again, three of them were sleeping in a small room, two were sleeping soundly in a corner, and one was licking its paws cleanly.

The more he looked at it, the more he liked it, Xi Mu turned his head and asked Lin Lichuan, "Shall we raise a real hamster?"

Looking at the mice in the cage, Lin Lichuan couldn't help thinking that when he first saw Mumu, the dazed look and the little eyes that looked at him expectantly were exactly the same as the enlarged version in front of him now.I couldn't help but also laughed, and stroked Xi Mu's soft black hair, "Listen to you."

Now that Xi Mu is immune to the gentleness of the great god, he rolled his eyes and slapped the hand on his head, then turned around to think about his pet plan.The docile milk tea looks so cute, the fur of the yellow pudding is so smooth, and the golden silk bear looks so cute that it's foul!

Before Xi Mu could pick out the Shushu whose heart belongs to, he was bumped by a customer who rushed in.

Lin Lichuan quickly helped him and brought Xi Mu into his arms.It was the woman who walked towards the counter with a child in high heels without even looking at her.

Xi Mu glanced at the woman dissatisfied, she must be a strange woman!

"Hey! What's the matter with the hamsters you sell here? Is it unhealthy? It's dirty and stinks to death. Replace it!" A sharp voice came from afar.

There are so many notions that I don't know which one to vomit first, so Xi Mu decided to go and see the excitement.

Taking a closer look, Xi Mu immediately understood the ugly expression on the clerk's face.

A mouse was wrapped in a plastic bag, obviously carried all the way by a woman, and it was lying motionless at the moment.

The clerk put on gloves, stretched out his hands to lift Shushu up carefully, and immediately found the crux of the problem—Shushu's tail was wet and dirty, and the hair around the abdomen was also twisted into balls.

Unable to put the hamster back on the hard table, the clerk held the hamster in his hands and reasoned: "Ma'am, the pets we sell are absolutely fine and won't have any symptoms, and I believe you have done it beforehand." Wouldn't bring home a dirty rat. Now this rat is sick and not cleaned properly. It's wet tail..."

The woman interrupted the clerk impatiently, "So, you won't change?"

The clerk patiently explained, "You bought this mouse last week, and it is indeed not our store's responsibility, but our store is willing to help you treat this mouse."

The woman poked the little boy's forehead, "You insist on raising these pickled things, now it's healed, and you still need to cure the disease, are you responsible?"

The little boy slapped the woman's hand off in dissatisfaction, "I didn't do it, I didn't do anything! It didn't play with me today, and I found out that it was sick!"

The clerk immediately said, "My little friend, a hamster is an animal that sleeps during the day and moves at night. You'd better not disturb it too much during the day, and don't expose it to the sun."

Seeing the disdain on the woman's face, the clerk still bite the bullet and explained: "Wet tail is a kind of gastrointestinal disease. In addition to paying attention to the cage and food hygiene, we should try our best to create a comfortable environment to reduce the pressure on the rat."

The woman sneered, "Isn't it just a few dozen? I can't afford the money? I'll just return this to you, I don't want it anymore."

"No, no," cried the little boy, "I want the mouse!"

Xi Mu couldn't help but interjected: "If you buy a mouse, you must learn to take care of it."

The woman gave Xi Mu a sideways look, and retorted: "I just bought a small pet back, so I have to offer it as my ancestor?"

"You can't say that," Xi Mu frowned. "Actually, you don't need to spend too much time on it at all. As long as you give it good food and water, and clean the cage, it will be fine. There will be a wet tail or too much pressure. Either the cage and the diet are wrong. Children, if you want to play with the mouse, you must pay attention to the way you play, and don’t make too much trouble. For example, don’t do things such as throwing it around, shaking the cage.”

Hearing this, the little boy looked at the floor with guilt.

"Heh, one or two are really nosy." The woman took the little boy's hand and was about to leave, "It's a small thing that can be thrown at any time, and I need to spend precious time to understand its preferences?"

Enraged by the woman's attitude, Xi Mu reprimanded, "Then don't buy it!"

"You don't care what I bought it for, I'm happy!" dragging the little boy out of the pet shop, the woman turned her head and said.

Seeing that Xi Mu was about to run away, Lin Lichuan held him back, "Don't be angry with this kind of person, it's not worth it. Let's teach her a lesson again when we have a chance."

"You must be taught a lesson!" Xi Mu said angrily, "I have never seen such an irresponsible person!"

The clerk also sighed, and echoed: "In these days, people are not responsible for people, let alone small animals."

Xi Mu looked at the sick mouse worriedly, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable, "Why don't we want this one?"

Lin Lichuan naturally wouldn't go against his wife's wishes at this time, "Okay, just this one, how much?"

Sure enough, being pleased by Lin Lichuan's prompt decision, Xi Mu turned back and smiled at Lin Lichuan, and stretched out his hand to hold the man's hand, feeling warm for the man's thoughtfulness.

The clerk persuaded with some hesitation: "This hamster is still very young, and it is actually a bit difficult to treat with wet tail disease. You may be busy."

"It's okay," Xi Mu said, "Can you tell me the specific precautions?"

"Of course," the clerk nodded, "We don't charge money for this mouse, and it is lucky to have you. The pet clinic next door is the same as ours. There are special medicines for wet tail there. You can take the mouse there. have a look."

"Okay," Xi Mu took the mouse, "I'll take it to the doctor right away!"

"You are so kind," the clerk smiled sweetly, "Recently, you should pay attention to your own hygiene when touching it. I hope Shushu will get better soon."

Saying goodbye to the clerk, the husband and wife went directly to the pet hospital.

It was the same female doctor who received them last time. She obviously still remembered Lin Lichuan. The female doctor was very dissatisfied with Lin Lichuan sending another patient.Because the mice are still young, wet tail disease is relatively fatal, and the doctor asked them to come back three days later.After receiving the diagnosis and treatment bill, Lin Lichuan touched his nose and led Xi Mu to pay the bill.

After finishing all this work, Xi Mu glanced at Lin Lichuan with a smile, "Do you know that girl?"

"I don't know." Lin Lichuan replied speechlessly.

"Then she picks your nose and eyes at you? You still want to follow Huanxi's enemy, isn't it out of fashion now?" Xi Mu joked.

"I sent you to this house last time, and she criticized me at that time," Lin Lichuan said helplessly, "I blamed me for not taking good care of you, and now I have another one. It's my fault if you don't stare at me. Arriving at the head teacher of the elementary school."

"Haha," Xi Mu smiled and bent over, "So there's still this problem!"

Pulling up Xi Mu, Lin Lichuan walked forward with a dark face.

"Hey, Lin Lichuan, shall we name that mouse?"

"Mumu."

"No, you think I'm stupid! It's called Chuan Chuan!"

"..."

"It's settled, we'll pick up strings and go home in three days!"

"..."

"This name is really nice, lively and playful and really appropriate, don't you think? Chuanchuan?"

"..."

The setting sun stretched the shadows of the two of them, but they never let go of their holding hands.

The author has something to say: Sleepwalking appeals to everyone: Raising small animals is also a responsibility, no matter how small a life is, it is heavy.
