Chapter 34 part 8

For special cases, doctors always have a sense of excitement that they don’t experience with ordinary patients. Wang Ling felt that if she asked her master, perhaps he could find the answer in some ancient book.

As for herself, she had been flipping through books ever since she saw Wang Tianba, but she was troubled by the limited information available online and the insufficient number of books she had brought this time. The photocopies of her master’s treasured medical books that she had transcribed were far from finished, making it like searching for a needle in a haystack, so naturally, she had found nothing so far.

Li Da was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say, but Wang Ling obviously didn’t care about these. She lowered her head and pressed Wang Tianba’s skin, feeling the rebound force, and nodded with satisfaction: “I really don’t see any problems. Director, do you want to measure Tianba’s rectal temperature again?”

“Forget about the rectal temperature.” Kong Bi subconsciously refused. Seeing that Wang Ling didn’t see the problem, she was a little disappointed and relieved.

Kong Bi still believes in traditional Chinese medicine. Due to a difficult delivery, her health has not been very good since she was born. It was an old Chinese doctor who cured her, but unfortunately the old man had to close his clinic because he practiced medicine without a license. Fortunately, the people in Kongjia Village were rich, and they immediately and happily invited the man back to the village.

However, it was a pity that the old gentleman was already old and had passed away many years ago. According to him, his apprentices were all still ‘not fully trained.’ Moreover, having suffered the consequences of practicing without a license, the old gentleman sent all his apprentices to medical university. One who studied orthopedics went into orthopedics to make money, one went into dentistry, and another went into surgery. The eldest apprentice was the only one who honestly practiced traditional Chinese medicine, but his talent was limited, and he was still slacking off at a local top-tier hospital.

Kong Bi felt that if the old gentleman were still around, perhaps he could see something. Although he wasn’t a veterinarian, Kong Bi had previously taken paralyzed cats and dogs to him, and he had been able to cure them. Perhaps his medical skills had reached a certain level where he can draw inferences from one instance to another?

Not long after, the others finally came over. For Quan Xiangsong and the others, even if they wanted to run over, they had to take care of their bodies, so they came slowly.

Modern medical instruments still have many advantages, but after a lot of trouble, they didn’t see anything. Under the microscope, it can be seen that Wang Tianba’s cell tissue is much more active than that of ordinary owls, and a blood test was done again.

Kong Bi finally felt relieved from this set of tests.

It seems that with current instruments, it is impossible to detect demonic power, which is undoubtedly good news for her.

You know, the fledgling-stage demons like Huājiāo inherently have very little demonic power within them. Even Kong Bi could barely sense it, let alone anyone else. But Wang Tianba is different; it can already use demonic power, and the demonic energy all over its body is very obvious and not at all concealed. To Kong Bi, it’s like a bright light bulb in the dark, making it hard to ignore.

However, neither traditional Chinese medicine nor Western medicine had detected the demonic energy and power on Wang Tianba.

Although using Wang Tianba as bait was a bit unethical, for Kong Bi, obtaining this result was worth it. Compared to Huājiāo, it was indeed more suitable as the test subject. After all, if something happened, it could still escape. Once it burrowed into the Shiwan Mountains, even a thorough search would make it difficult to find. Huājiāo, on the other hand, has conspicuous fur, makes a loud sound when flying, is not a nocturnal creature, and operates in groups. No matter how you look at it, it wasn’t suitable.

After the inspection, Wang Tianba, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately flapped it wings and ran away. Kong Bi took a look and didn’t care. She went to the cafeteria with everyone.

The monitoring room was so small, so although Jiang Xiuli was curious, she couldn’t stay up late and was not a professional, so she went back to sleep directly. She went to the kitchen on time to cook the next day.

After all, there were more than a dozen people in the zoo plus the people from the decoration company. Even making a big pot of rice was time-consuming and laborious. She really didn’t have the mind to pay attention to other things.

Today’s breakfast was pumpkin porridge, served with pickled vegetables and eggs that Jiang Xiuli had bought. It was simple, but the taste wasn’t bad. In addition, she had steamed extra buns, in case those doing physical labor or with large appetites found the former insufficient.

Kong Bi ate happily. Just as she finished her egg, a phone call came in.

The zookeeper Qi Cong, who was responsible for feeding the green peacock, said in a flustered tone, “Director, something bad has happened! Huājiāo and the others are fighting with Wang Tianba!”

“What happened to Huājiāo? Is it injured?” Kong Bi asked quickly, thinking of the difference in strength between the two little demons.

Qi Cong: “No, it’s that a lot of Wang Tianba’s feathers have been plucked, and it seems angry now.”

Kong Bi: “…?”

Although she didn’t understand how this scene happened, Kong Bi still hurried to the Peacock Garden and clicked into the game on the way to take a look.

【System Log: Your subordinate demon Huājiāo couldn’t stand Wang Tianba’s arrogance and led the green peacock flock into a fight with Wang Tianba.】

Kong Bi: “…………”

It seems like I know what happened…

Kong Bi instantly pieced together the sequence of events. Initially, it was just a battle between Huājiāo and Wang Tianba. However, for creatures as vocal as green peacock, it wasn’t strange for them to join in after watching for a while. It’s just that, being different species, they probably found Wang Tianba’s voice unpleasant and got tired of calling out themselves, so they stopped. As a result, Wang Tianba, still unable to understand their language, thought it had won and was proudly showing off on the spot.

Huājiāo might not have understood what it was saying, but it could sense its emotions. And as a social creature, green peacock never fight one-on-one; they swarm their opponent.

Both sides knew they were from the same camp and didn’t dare to strike hard, but they also didn’t want to just dance around. So, they devised a vicious plan – plucking feathers!

Wang Tianba could fly up into the sky to evade them, but it always had to come down. Without resorting to serious attacks, getting surrounded inevitably led to injuries, so it became even angrier.

You have to know that no bird doesn’t cherish its feathers, let alone Wang Tianba, which had just broken through and was far from needing to molt. The next molting would be at least after it found a mate. How could it not be furious?

When Kong Bi arrived at the peacock enclosure, a considerable pile of feathers had already accumulated on the ground – some from the green peacock, and some from Wang Tianba. The most pitiful were two male peacocks with tail feathers, now almost completely bald with only a few left. After all, compared to the female peacocks, they were the most obvious targets. As for Wang Tianba, it could no longer be called fluffy, instead, it had a… receding hairline.

Hua Jiao was a master of strategy. She commanded the peacocks to pluck only one side of the feathers, so that Wang Tianba could not fly and could only fight with her. When Kong Bi arrived, they had already started to claw.

The green peacock has sharp and powerful legs, and the claws of the owl can also be called a killing weapon, but they were crazy at this time, and they didn’t care about anything else, just plucking feathers, cursing while plucking, and making up songs to mock each other’s bald spots.

Although they didn’t understand what the other party was singing, they didn’t mean to stop at all.

“Stop it!” Kong Bi hurriedly stopped them. “King!——”

“Boss!——”

Seeing Kong Bi arrive, the two demons immediately abandoned their fight and rushed towards her, flapping their tattered wings as they lunged. Since they had the same destination, they even exchanged a swipe of claws in the middle, until Kong Bi picked them both up, one in each hand.

“We’re all family, can’t we just love each other?”

‘”Du hu—!”

“Gu wu—!”

Although they couldn’t understand what the other was saying, they immediately glared at each other, clearly both thinking the other was definitely cursing them.

Kong Bi shook them: “Alright, alright, look at yourselves now. If other demons see you like this, you’ll be laughed at.”

It’s all Huājiāo’s/Wang Tianba’s fault!

They turned their faces away at the same time.

Kong Bi sighed, “Okay, go back, stop fighting. If I catch you again, don’t even think about running outside.”

She let go, and the two little demons fell to the ground. The two monsters looked at each other, snorted coldly, and left in the opposite direction of each other.

Kong Bi couldn’t help but put her hand to her forehead.

It seemed she needed to separate their territories.

Originally, Kong Bi had thought that since there were only these two small demons in the zoo, and they were both birds, she might as well build their enclosures together. That way, they could chat when they had nothing to do. Now, it seemed that was a bit hasty.

“Director…” The zookeeper Qi Cong finally ran over at this point, still holding a riot shield on his arm, trying hard to justify himself. “I tried to stop them, but as soon as they saw me come in, they both started attacking me. Look at my shield!”

On the black riot shield, there were several messy scratch marks, and one corner was dented. One could imagine what he had gone through trying to break up the fight rashly.

“You’ve worked hard,” Kong Bi said. “When Huājiāo and Wang Tianba fight, you don’t need to interfere. Just call me. You can’t beat either of them.”

As a retired soldier, Qi Cong felt underestimated, but looking at the riot shield, he couldn’t bring himself to argue.

Generally speaking, when the eldest and second child fight, the well-meaning person who tries to mediate is often the one who ends up most injured. The fact that Qi Cong came back completely unscathed already demonstrated his outstanding professional skills, even if there were a few stray feathers of unknown origin stuck to his head, making him look a little undignified.
