CHAPTER 47: CHAPTER 42 MILITARY DOCTOR AND TURTLE

Seeing the girl holding a small turtle, Xiao Lin immediately thought of the pure little bad girl in the group. Could it really be her? As Xiao Lin’s car approached the entrance, the phone he had dialed came through with a sweet voice: "Hello, who is this?"

"It’s the Military Doctor, have you arrived?" Xiao Lin hurriedly said as he heard the voice over the phone, his eyes still on the girl with the turtle, feeling it must be her.

"Ah, are you here? Are you at the entrance? What are you wearing?"

"Just got to the entrance, I’m still in the car looking for a parking spot. What about you? What are you wearing?"

"I’m really easy to spot. Look at the entrance, wearing a black leather jacket. The purest, hottest, and most eye-catching one is me. Oh, and I’m holding my family’s sick little turtle."

At this moment, Xiao Lin had already reached the entrance of Dragon and Tiger World, just three or four meters away from the girl holding the turtle. He could clearly see her outfit, and was quite startled — a sixteen-year-old girl dressed in a full combat outfit, was she going to fight or what?

"I see you, I’m in a QQ car, I’m going to park first!" Xiao Lin rolled down the window and waved to the pure little bad girl. She looked over and smiled at Xiao Lin in greeting.

"Okay, I’ll wait for you here. Loneliness and Moon have already gone up!" The little bad girl waved at Xiao Lin, watched him slowly drive towards a parking spot, then patted the turtle in her hand tenderly and said, "Little Bump, when the Military Doctor comes down, he’ll help you get better. I heard from the group that his skills are excellent, you’ll definitely recover!"

Xiao Lin was speechless. This little bad girl really brought her sick turtle along. How should he deal with her? Xiao Lin felt a bit of a headache.

While parking, thinking about how to deal with the little bad girl, he almost scratched another car. Xiao Lin, exasperated, patted his forehead: "I’ve been through gunfire and bullets, how can I be afraid of a little turtle?"

After parking, Xiao Lin straightened his clothes and walked towards the entrance of Dragon and Tiger World.

The little bad girl kept her eyes on the direction Xiao Lin parked. When Xiao Lin got closer, she felt immeasurable joy — turns out he’s quite a handsome guy, doesn’t look very old either.

"Are you the Military Doctor, brother?" The little bad girl quickened her steps to greet Xiao Lin.

As Xiao Lin walked over, he had already sized up this little bad girl. Leather jacket, leather pants, leather boots, a combat outfit which matched her nickname quite well. This outfit certainly would be convenient for a fight, living up to the title of "little bad girl."

"Hello, I’m the Military Doctor. You must be the pure little bad girl?" Xiao Lin smiled and greeted the pure little bad girl.

"Yes, Military Doctor, it’s really great to meet you. Please help me take a look at our Little Bump. It hasn’t eaten for three days, it’s almost lifeless!" After confirming Xiao Lin’s identity, the pure little bad girl smiled joyfully, then handed the small turtle to Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin was full of black lines. This pure little bad girl was really something — wearing a combat outfit, yet doing things a little girl would do. It was neither appropriate to take the turtle nor to refuse it. Seeing her pitiable look, with big watery eyes seemingly brimming with tears, Xiao Lin found it hard to refuse.

"Alright, let me take a look!" Xiao Lin accepted the turtle with a helpless, wry smile, then pretended to carefully inspect the small turtle.

"Military Doctor, is there any solution?" The pure little beauty asked nervously, her big eyes wide open, not sure whether she was looking at the turtle or Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin truly had no solution for this turtle, didn’t even know what species it was. Hearing this question from the little bad girl, Xiao Lin was a bit at a loss, not knowing how to answer.

But to the pure little bad girl, it seemed like Xiao Lin was seriously trying to diagnose her turtle’s problem, growing increasingly grateful to him.

"Uh... have you been to a pet hospital?" Xiao Lin finally managed to come up with this question after racking his brain.

"No, I don’t know where the pet hospital is around here!" The pure little bad girl replied bluntly.

"Then where did you buy this turtle? Go back to where you bought it, even if the store owner doesn’t know, they should know where there’s a nearby pet hospital, right?" Xiao Lin said somewhat sheepishly.

The pure little bad girl looked at Xiao Lin earnestly and said, "With you here, Military Doctor brother, why would I go to a pet hospital? You can treat such a big person, let alone a small turtle!" The pure little bad girl said naively.

Xiao Lin was both amused and helpless. Can a turtle be compared to a human? But looking into those big, innocent eyes of the pure little bad girl, with a pitiful expression, something in Xiao Lin’s heart was moved.

Xiao Lin thought for a moment, a memory flashed through his mind, of a conversation with a little girl four years ago while on a mission abroad. That little girl also loved keeping turtles and had told him about their habits.

Turtles generally have long lifespans and are quite able to endure hunger. They feed on insects, worms, small fish, shrimp, snails, clams, soft plant leaves, duckweed, peels, grains, rice, and seeds of weeds.

"How long have you been keeping this turtle?" Xiao Lin asked.

"About a month!" replied the pure little bad girl.

"And what do you usually feed it?"

"Milk, sausage, lean meat, etc.!" The little bad girl said proudly, though her tone began to drop afterwards: "But three days ago, my Little Bump stopped eating and drinking, even moving it doesn’t cheer it up!"

Hearing what the little bad girl said, Xiao Lin was even more speechless. No wonder it got sick, feeding it those every day would upset its stomach, causing it not to eat. Moreover, those are all high-calorie foods. For a turtle with such tolerance for hunger, the food given over this month could probably sustain it through the upcoming winter.

Xiao Lin finally identified the problem and sighed with relief. He said, "Turtles are animals that can endure hunger. Feeding them what you do daily has upset its stomach, reducing its appetite. It’s not really sick. For the next few days, don’t feed it anything. Just keep it in water, and preferably put some tender leaves and rice grains in the water. It will recover soon!"

"Really, Military Doctor brother?" The pure little bad girl’s big eyes blinked at Xiao Lin, making him want to cherish her even more.

"Trust me, it’ll be fine!" Xiao Lin suddenly remembered a line from an advertisement.

"That’s great, thank you, Military Doctor brother!" The little bad girl exclaimed happily.
