Chapter 565: Mai Suzuhara in the Laboratory
Zhang Zi quietly stood aside, watching the confrontation between father and son with a smile. Although Qian Bowen's previous dog raising was a failure, he still had the opportunity to correct his son's bad habits. He couldn't be led by the nose by his son, and he could satisfy his demands whenever he cried and made trouble.
Having a dog is like having a son, and conversely, having a son is like having a dog.
This family is not suitable for raising Beagle dogs. As netizens said, raising them by force will only harm others and themselves.
Of course, even if Xiaoqianqian really wanted to use his own New Year's money to buy a dog, Zhang Zian would not sell it to him, because he is underage and a person with restricted behavioral capacity. It is necessary to sign a pet sale agreement and other procedures. Even if a person with limited behavioral capacity signs the agreement, it will be invalid. Zhang Zian will not do that kind of stupid thing.
The same is true for Xiaoxue. Instead of asking for rewards, she often reminds underage viewers who watch the live broadcasts not to tip her with their parents’ money during the live broadcast, on Weibo and on the official account. Got a good impression.
Xiaoqianqian has been struggling for a long time. On the balance in his heart, there is a Switch at one end and a Beagle sitting at the other end. Which one will bring him more happiness?
Slowly, the scale tilted in the direction of Switch. Obviously, the weight of Switch in his heart is heavier.
"Then...then...then I won't buy it for now...Anyway, it's almost Chinese New Year, and I'll come back to buy it after this year's New Year's money comes down! Even if you don't buy it for me, I will buy it myself!" Xiao Qianqian said angrily. .
"Okay, whatever you want. If you want to come then, I will accompany you." Qian Bowen laughed.
He saw that the time was almost up, and he had to work the night shift tonight, so he had to eat early at noon, go to bed quickly after lunch, and now he was going back to buy vegetables and cook, so he bid farewell to Zhang Zian, "Manager Zhang, what a real surprise today!" Thank you, I just realized that there is so much knowledge about keeping a dog, and it is also the first time I have met a conscientious shopkeeper like you who actually advises customers not to buy pets... But don't worry, I will buy another dog sooner or later, or wait If the child grows up a little longer, he should change to a more worry-free dog, and when I am ready to raise a dog, I will definitely come to you to buy it."
Zhang Zian is also very distressed, but he feels that if the family buys the Beagle, they will either come back in a few days and ask to return the dog, or a new hotspot will appear on Weibo after a while-the unscrupulous shopkeeper sells the dog to the customer for profit, causing the customer to buy the dog. A major operational accident occurred on the assembly line... Rather than this, it is better not to sell it at all.
"Boy, let's go, let's go home." Qian Bowen greeted his son.
Xiaoqianqian looked at the beagle dog reluctantly, and left with his father depressed. Before leaving, he told Zhang Zian: "The store manager, remember to leave this dog for me. When I get the lucky money, I will pay for it." Came here to buy."
"Let's talk about it when you come back." Zhang Zian said perfunctorily.
After the noisy father and son left, the store finally calmed down a little.
After talking too much and failing to make a deal, Zhang Zian picked up the pre-brewed tea and poured it down, moistening his throat and going to relieve his anger.
Weiwei felt that the visit to the pet store was not in vain, and she seemed to have learned a lot, although it was a pity that she was not owned by a group of cats... She looked around the store, her eyes fell on Suzuhara Mai, and felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this Fusang girl , then quietly poked Xiaoxue.
Xiaoxue was interacting with netizens. After being reminded by Weiwei, she noticed that Mai Suzuhara next to the display cabinet was crying secretly at the Beagle dog.
"Hello, Ms. Suzuhara, are you feeling well?" The warm-hearted Xiaoxue walked over decisively and asked her with concern.
"Ah, no, I'm not feeling sick, it's just... I remembered something from the past." Suzuhara Mai hurriedly wiped away her tears, and said with a forced smile.
"It's cold, wipe your tears away, or it will hurt your skin." Xiaoxue thoughtfully handed her a tissue, she thanked her repeatedly, took the tissue and wiped away her tears.
"That...Mr. Store Manager, I want to buy this Beagle, can I?" Suzuhara Mai asked Zhang Zian.
Zhang Zian was taken aback, thinking that today is Beagle Day or what? Why does everyone want a Beagle?
"Yes, yes... But you heard what we said just now? The appearance of a Beagle is very cute, but this kind of dog is not easy to raise. If you want to buy it because it is cute, then I advise you... ..." he said tactfully.
Suzuhara clarified: "No, it's not like that! I like Snoopy, I like Beagles, they are pathetic..."
"Then do you know the characteristics of this kind of dog?" Zhang Zian intends to test her to see if she really understands Beagles.
"I know, Snoopy likes to bark, likes to play, and is very family. I have been with them for more than two years..." As she spoke, her expression became more and more gloomy.
Mai Suzuhara is a student of the medical school. Because of her hard work and excellent grades, she was selected by the professor to work as an assistant in the laboratory very early, where she first came into contact with Beagle dogs. Although she is an assistant in name, because she is the youngest, she is basically in charge of doing chores, and her main task is to take care of the Beagle dogs in the laboratory.
There is a one-year-old Beagle in the laboratory, which is very similar to the Beagle in Zhang Zian's store, almost exactly the same. Professors and seniors call it Snoopy, so she calls it Snoopy too.
Like Suzuhara Mai, Snoop has just arrived in the laboratory, and his lively and cheerful personality immediately won her favor.
Every morning, she is always the first to come to the laboratory, prepare the experimental equipment for the professors and seniors, and then take Snoopy for a run. There are two treadmills in the lab, one for humans and the other for dogs. She and Snoopy run on the treadmills together, and record its breathing, heartbeat, and body temperature before and after the run. Waiting for the data, occasionally drawing blood, testing feces and urine... She naively thought that this was all there was to the experiment.
Seeing that she was getting too close to Snoopy, the seniors reminded her implicitly more than once, suggesting that if she likes dogs, she might as well get one herself, but she didn't take it seriously and continued to play with Snoopy every day.
Suddenly one day, when she came to the laboratory in the morning, she couldn't find Snoopy. In her anxiety, she wanted to quickly notify the security personnel of the laboratory and help her find it together. At this moment, she vaguely heard a familiar cry from the depths of the laboratory, very penetrating, it was Snoopy's call.
Suzuhara Mai ran over following the sound and found that Snoopy was locked in a sealed experimental device. It curled up inside the utensil, foaming at the corners of its mouth. Hearing her footsteps, it raised its head, looked at her through the transparent glass as if asking for help, then staggered over, whimpering at her with its nose against the glass, eyes full of pain.
How is this going?
She was stunned.
Why is Snoopy here?
The seniors who appeared later told her regretfully that this was the fate of Snoopy. Beagle dogs were raised in the laboratory, and they were used for experiments, similar to mice.
It wasn't until then that she really got to know the Beagles.
Beagles are almost the healthiest of all dog breeds with the fewest genetic diseases, yet they are of medium size, docile and easy to control. The most important thing is that the Beagle is very friendly, whether people beat it or torture it with painful experiments, it will not hold grudges, let alone resent humans. Human beings abuse it thousands of times, and it treats human beings like first love.
In addition, purebred Beagle dogs are not expensive and have stable genetics. They are especially suitable for research in pharmacology, toxicology, circulatory physiology, and surgery, and are convenient for comparing data between different laboratories in different places. Beagle dogs account for 98% of all experimental dogs in the world, and thousands of Beagle dogs give their lives for the advancement of human medicine every year.
Beagle dogs use their own lives in exchange for a longer lifespan for humans. If so, it’s fine. Although many countries have banned it, there are still some cosmetics companies and daily necessities companies that secretly use Beagle dogs to test toxicity. This is not them deserved suffering.
Throughout the whole day, Mai Suzuhara cried and watched Snoopy being injected with a certain dose of poison in the experimental apparatus, observing and recording its poisoning reaction, and then injecting the antidote, observing and recording its gradual improvement process , and finally drew blood, tested urine, and analyzed toxin residues in the body every hour, so as to obtain valuable data such as toxin metabolism speed... She couldn't bear to watch it any longer, but the seniors needed her to stay here because of her Presence reassures and calms Snoopy.
This is for the advancement of human medicine, this is to save more people's lives - she told herself so repeatedly.
Rationally speaking, there is no essential difference between experimenting with mice and beagle dogs, but emotionally she finds it hard to accept.
When the long experiment was finally over, the seniors under the leadership of the professor couldn't wait to get into the process of analyzing the data, looking forward to the birth and publication of a new high-quality paper, while Snoopy dragged his tired body out of the experimental equipment and continued to She smiled and ran towards her cheerfully as if nothing had happened. It fell halfway and struggled to get up again. She could even clearly see the spasm of its leg muscles.
"Sorry, Snoopy, sorry!" She held it in her arms, apologizing over and over again.
Snoopy stuck out his warm tongue, licking the tears off her face. It forgot all the unhappiness, and was simply happy to be held in the arms of its owner.
The days are back to the past.
She is still the first to come to the laboratory every morning, feed Snoopy, take it for a run, faithfully record the data such as breathing, heartbeat, body temperature, etc., occasionally draw blood, and test the feces and urine, but she is more careful than before, more gentle. Similar to the hierarchical Fuso society, the same is true in the laboratory. As the youngest junior, she doesn't know when the next experiment will be, and no one tells her. She can only seize all the time to make Snoopy more happy.
The second experiment came sooner than expected.
Almost as soon as Snoopy regained his health, he was forced to undergo another experiment, this time to test a new drug in development, which had a promising market, but was still very immature and harmful to the stomach. Strong irritation to the stomach, may cause vomiting.
Snoopy will swallow a certain dose of pills this time, and then analyze the changes in the concentration of the pills in the blood and the speed of metabolism and excretion through blood and urine tests.
However, according to the data, eating this kind of pill is likely to cause vomiting. If the pill is spit out, the experiment will fail. Therefore, Mai Suzuhara, who has been in charge of doing chores, also participated in the experiment process this time. The professor arranged for her to hold Snoopy in her arms, hold Snoopy's mouth firmly, and prevent it from spitting out the pills it just took. until it dissolves in the stomach.
What a cruel task this is!
When Mai Suzuhara heard the professor's words, she immediately felt as if ice water was splashed on her head.
But there is no way, no matter whether she participates or not, the experiment will be carried out as usual, the only difference is that she will hold Snoopy's mouth, or other seniors will hold it.
So, she decided to let her do it, at least she would be gentle.
She can completely push this matter to others, such as asking for a day off, leaving the laboratory to relax, and coming back after the experiment is over. Hold it in your arms to comfort it, let it feel that everyone else is a bad person, only she is a good person.
But she didn't do that, she hoped that Snoopy would recognize her for who she was, and it didn't matter if she hated her.
The experiment begins.
According to the professor's request, she put the powder into capsules and mixed it with Snoopy's favorite snacks to let him eat it.
Snoopy ate it happily, not suspecting him at all.
After it finished eating, Mai Suzuhara sat on the chair and patted her thigh.
The sun was shining that day, making me drowsy.
Snoopy jumped on her lap and lay down comfortably in the sun, yawning with his mouth open, sleepiness in his eyes.
She rubbed its back lightly, silently estimating the speed at which the capsule would dissolve, and when the time was about the same, she pressed its mouth with both hands from the upper and lower sides.
Snoopy thought she was going to play some new game with herself, her eyes widened in excitement and she wanted to sit up, but she lowered her upper body and clamped its body with her legs to keep it from moving.
"Woo~"
It suddenly let out a mournful cry, its body wriggled and struggled violently, its throat shrugged, and she could even feel the scorching heat between its stomach and throat.
"Snoopy! Cheer up! Snoopy! It'll be fine in a while! It'll be fine in a while!"
She hugged it tightly and pressed its mouth to prevent it from spitting out, but she didn't dare to look into its eyes, closing them and murmuring the same words over and over again.
The shortness of breath that smelled like medicine was blowing on her face, and Snoopy struggled harder and harder. She never knew that such a great power was hidden in its small body, so she had to restrain it with all her strength.
She didn't dare to slack off, once she let go of it, the experiment would fail, which meant that Snoopy would have to experience the same nightmare again.
After an unknown period of time, maybe a few minutes, maybe an hour, Snoopy's struggle gradually weakened, and his breathing was no longer so rapid.
The medicine powder has been completely absorbed by its stomach, and the vomiting reaction disappeared.
She also relaxed her strength, and only then realized that she was sweating profusely.
It was cold on the thigh, and a peculiar smell rushed straight to the nose.
She looked down and saw that Snoopy was incontinent in the struggle, urinating on her lab coat.
Snoopy looked at her guiltily, as if he had done something wrong.
The seniors encouraged her and told her to go home to rest, then took Snoopy from her hand and took her to have blood drawn and urine tested.
She sat there blankly without moving, her mind was completely blank.
Snoopy didn't appear in front of her again that day.
The next morning, she was still the first to arrive at the lab after insomnia all night, ready to bear Snoopy's hateful gaze.
Snoopy lying in the nest screamed excitedly when he saw her, wagged his tail and jumped at her feet to play with her. It was the same as every morning in the past, as if nothing had happened.
"Hate me! Bite me! Snoopy! I did such a cruel thing to you, why don't you hate me and bite me!" Mai Suzuhara yelled at it, even putting her wrist on its mouth On the other side, it didn't bite her, but stretched out its tongue to lick her wrist.
She was so weak that she fell to the cold floor of the laboratory in a penitent manner.
Snoopy put his front paws on her legs and writhed nervously, wondering why she was so sad.
"Sorry! Snoopy! Sorry!"
Knowing that it was useless, she apologized over and over again.
Snoopy didn't want to hear her apology, he just wanted to start playing with her sooner.
Mai Suzuhara had no idea of going abroad at first, she was planning to study for a graduate student at this school, because she calculated that by the time she graduates, Snoopy will be almost seven years old, and a seven-year-old beagle can retire from the laboratory—theoretically in this way.
However, few Beagles make it to retirement age in day-to-day experimentation, and Snoopy is no exception.
Another experiment.
She was used to Snoopy recovering from experiment after experiment. To reward him, she bought his favorite snack the next morning, but when she came to the lab, she found that his nest was empty.
The senior told her that Snoopy failed to survive the experiment, and its body had been sent to the mountain behind the school for burial, where there was a monument for the animals that died in the experiment.
Suzuhara Mai forgot how she reacted at that time, and when she came back to her senses, she was already standing in front of the solemn monument of consolation, weeping uncontrollably, surrounded by green bamboos and green grass.
The work of the laboratory could not be interrupted, and a new Beagle was sent in, and everyone still called it Snoopy.
Only then did she know that there was always a Snoopy in the lab.
Soon, the semester ended, and when the new semester started, a lovely junior girl joined the laboratory, and Mai Suzuhara was promoted to be a reliable senior. Of course, the task of doing chores and taking care of Snoopy fell on the junior girl .
Mai Suzuhara applied for an exchange student at Binhai University, and she needs a semester to adjust her mood.
Before going abroad, as a reliable senior, she gave advice to her lovely schoolgirl: "If you want to raise a dog, you might as well raise one yourself."
The school girl didn't take her words to heart and continued to play happily with Snoopy.
She looked at the junior girl with a smile, said nothing more, called a taxi and drove to the airport, and boarded the flight to China...
After Mai Suzuhara finished telling her story, there was silence in the pet shop, only the sobbing of Xiaoxue and Weiwei could be heard. ...
