pain.

The whole body was as painful as fire, and the five internal organs were burned.

Especially in the lungs, every time you breathe, it is like inhaling a lot of burning smoke and dust; every time you cough, Mars will spew out of the trachea.

The eyelids seemed to be swollen, like a piece of lead fell. It was difficult for Richard to open his eyes. He could only half close his eyes and observe the world through very narrow gaps.

The sounds heard in the ears echoed with a buzzing sound, sometimes as if they came from a distant horizon, so blurred that they could not be heard clearly, and the next moment they were roaring in their ears, urging their minds like steel needles.

This feeling of pain is very familiar. It has experienced it once before, and this time its senses are sharper, even more painful than that time.

Its consciousness became very blurred, and it seemed as if it had returned to the laboratory again in a trance.

"Eileen, please listen to me calmly. It's Aspergillus. You know how terrible this disease is."

"My God! Are we going to lose it?"

"No, we won't lose it, at least not now."

"What should we do?"

"We have a treatment for Aspergillus, but that's designed for large raptors like eagles, so we have to explore carefully until we find the right dose. Listen, Erin, I'll do my best and then we pray to God together not to take it away!"

...

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry that the medication did not work as it should."

"No! No!"

"Please calm down, Erin! We are not in despair yet. As your friends and veterinarians, I recommend having a thora surgery to scrape off the mold in its chest."

"Chest opening surgery? What are you kidding! It's a bird that weighs only one pound!"

"Listen, Erin, this is our last resort, you don't want to lose it, right?"

"…Yes, you are right. Is it up to you to perform the surgery? My friend."

"No, I'll contact the best veterinarians in China for you. They are all microsurgery experts. They will cure it, I promise!"

...

"Irene, I'll bring you good news that the surgery is very successful!"

"That's great! I've been waiting for your call...I..."

"Are you crying? Erin."

"No, I... weren't crying. They cleaned up that damn mold, right? It's going to be fine, right? Let me know!"

"Yes, Erin, their surgery is very successful, it will be back to you soon, and there may be some sequelae, but it will get better."

"Thank God!"

...

"dtr..." Richard murmured.

"Richard, are you awake?"

A hand gently strokes its back, warm and powerful, with the alkaline smell unique to sterile soft soap.

Dizziness.

It tried hard to open its heavy eyelids and carefully identified the person in front of it.

The vision was a little blurred at the beginning. It really thought it was a pity that she appeared in her memory. Although her temperament was very similar, it was not. Sun Xiaomeng had short hair like her and a younger face, which belonged to an oriental face. The care that flashed in her eyes was exactly the same.

Its eyes rolled, not as flexible as before, but it could still be identified that the furnishings around it were not a laboratory, but just a very ordinary living room, located on the second floor of an ordinary pet shop.

Richard didn't know how long he had been sleeping, but it was already night outside the window. The construction noise downstairs had disappeared, and it was probably not too early. The workers were worried about disturbing the people, and today's work was over.

"dtr..." It struggled to stand up, staggering.

Sun Xiaomeng held it and let it lean most of its weight on her hands. It was not until this time that she realized that its weight was so light, even less than half of the weight of the human brain. In such a delicate body, wisdom that could be comparable to humans could be born, which itself is a miracle of nature.

And now, the miracle is disappearing, as if nature is trying to fix the mistakes in the evolution chain.

"Don't move, Richard, come and take some medicine."

Sun Xiaomeng pinched two capsules and stretched them to the edge of its beak.

"What is this?" it asked.

"You really want to know? Well, I poured out the original medicines in the cold capsule and stuffed them into my own medicine, including nystatin, ciprofloxacin, and multivitamins. You will get better after taking them."

The mortality rate of acute mycotic diseases is very high, because only one time from the onset of symptoms to the shortest death. If it occurs at night, the owner may not even have time to detect it, even if it is accidentally detected, it will not have time to go to the hospital. This is the terrible part of acute mycotic diseases.

Richard was unfortunate and also lucky. When it started to get sick, Wang Qian and Li Kun were also there. They called Zhang Zi'an at the first time and bought precious time. Since then, whether it was Wang Qian and Li Kun's repeated errands, Sun Xiaomeng's quick decision or Jin Er's speeding car, they were actually racing against the god of death, and it is still uncertain who will win.

Richard stared at the two capsules, and after a few seconds, he opened his beak and ate it.

"Don't bite, swallow the whole thing." Sun Xiaomeng reminded.

Richard did as he did and swallowed the two capsules.

"That's great." She breathed a sigh of relief. Richard was really helpful in being so understanding, and she was worried that it would refuse to swallow the capsules out of bird instinct.

These pills were finely ground into powder by Sun Xiaomeng using Zhang Zi'an's chopping board and rolling pin at home, and then filled into cold capsules to facilitate Richard to take them. If the medicine is mixed into the food and taken together, the effect will be too slow, and it may not be too late.

"Come on, have some water." She brought a porcelain wine glass. This was used by Zhang Zi'an's father when he sipped, and one cup could only hold half a tael of wine.

At this time, the wine glass was not filled with wine, but with a slight blue clear liquid.

"This is a concentration of copper sulfate solution, which is toxic, but can cure your disease. This is called 'to fight poison with poison' in China."

Sun Xiao dreamed that Richard stared at the liquid and thought it didn't dare to drink it, so he explained to it.

"Dtr, I'll drink it, but these can't save me."

Richard said calmly, lowered his head and sucked the copper sulfate solution into his mouth.

It understood that the nightmare of the past had not been completely eradicated and had quietly recovered. Last time, these medicines could not save it and had to go thousands of miles away for microsurgery, and this time it could not save it either. It did not think that microsurgery was allowed to be performed in this simple pet store.

To its surprise, Sun Xiaomeng actually nodded in agreement with its method.

"You are right, you can't save you just by relying on these."

Despite this, her face was still filled with firm confidence. Even the veterinarians with golden signs on the other side of the ocean did not have the same confidence as her in the face of Aspergillosis. Richard couldn't help but be stunned, and was even infected by her strong confidence.

She smiled and stretched out an arm, signaling it to stand up.

"Come on, let's go for a walk together."
