The ticking wall clock kept walking, Yi Yi looked up and saw that the clock had already pointed at 6 pm. The setting sun outside the clinic was a bit dazzling.

"Another day has passed. Today, I have only disinfected a broken pet dog. I charged 30 yuan and didn't even make any living expenses!" After putting down the thick novel in my hand, Yi Yi sighed, got up and cleaned up in his pet clinic, and then closed the door and went home.

Yi Yi is twenty-four years old this year, which is the juncture of his zodiac year, so everything is not going well. His girlfriend, who has been dating for four years, just got separated. He changed three jobs in the first half of the year, but he was fired after not more than a month.

Since I studied veterinary medicine in college, Yi Yi, who was not doing well in his work, gritted his teeth and borrowed money to open such a small veterinary clinic. However, in the past month, there were so many things left.

Nowadays, those rich people regard pets as more important than humans, so once their pets have any minor illnesses, they will go to a large pet hospital or a familiar pet doctor. There are not many people who are willing to come to Yiyi, a small pet clinic, except for acquaintances.

Thinking of this, Yi Yi felt a little helpless. It has been two years since he graduated from university and has achieved nothing. He had known that he shouldn't have studied such a veterinary major. He originally thought that veterinary was an emerging profession, and there were many rich people in a place like Shanghai, so it should be pretty good, but in the end he couldn't find a job.

"Mom, I'm back!" The home is very close to the clinic. Soon Yi Yi had already arrived at the door of his house. He slapped the door and shouted, but did not respond. Yi Yi couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Usually at this time, my mother has already prepared dinner, but she is not at home today?

"Where did Mom go?" He took out the key and opened the door and went in. He sat on the sofa in the living room and turned on the TV. He was still suspicious, but suddenly he saw a note on the short table next to the sofa:

"Yi Yi, your dad and I are going back to our hometown. It will take about a week. We have bought the dishes and put them in the refrigerator. We will cook our own food."

Juanxiu's font is undoubtedly my mother's notes. Yi Yi took a look and couldn't help but sigh, "Ah, I want to cook by myself..."

"I don't even call one, it must be my dad's idea!" Yi Yi complained. His dad Yi Zhengguo is tough and stubborn, and there have been constant conflicts between father and son. If it weren't for his father's intention, his mother would have called and nagged for a long time.

"Hmm? What is this?" There was a bulging express delivery under the note. I took it over and saw that it had been unpacked, with a yellowed book and a black thing inside.

"Yi Zhengguo received it, it was sent to my father!" After looking at the recipient's name on the express delivery, which was the father's name. Yi Yi couldn't help but complain: "Dad can only understand the cultural level of the newspaper. Who sent him a book?"

I took out the books from the email, and when I started, the touch was completely different from that of ordinary books, and it felt like an ancient feeling. I opened it casually and saw some strange black and white pictures.

"Hmm? When was this book?" After turning over a dozen pages, the picture disappeared, but the pages appeared in a strange and ancient font.

Yi Yi glanced at it and was sure that he did not recognize any of the words on it. "In this era, there are still such books?"

A page of rice paper suddenly fell from the page. Yi Yi picked it up and saw that it was written in a brush, with a solemn and solemn Liu style: "The country, I have not had many days at the right time. You should be within one tenth of a year, and you do not need to return to mourning. When you part with this ancestral book and stuff, you should make the lintel of my Yi family shine!"

"Hmm? Yi Houfeng" Yi Yi looked at the signature and felt that he had heard of this name somewhere, but he didn't remember it deeply and could not remember the corresponding person for a while.

"From the meaning of the note, it should be that the elders of my hometown. This time my parents also hurried back to my hometown, and it is probably related to this matter." As I thought, Yi Yi turned over the signing form of the email and saw the address of the sender: Meishan County, Central Hunan. It is where Yi Yi's hometown is.

"It seems that this book may be a ancestral inheritance. The Yi surname is also a big surname in the area of ​​my hometown. It is not surprising that there are such antiques. I just don't know what is recorded in this book? Is it worth entrusting so much?"

"And, it seems that it was left specifically for me?" Yi Yi was a little suspicious.

Looking carefully at the ancient book in his hand, Yi Yi read all the contents from the first page to the last page, but was confused.

I don’t know any of the words, and I don’t even understand the black and white drawings. I say it’s some animals, but I don’t know them at all with Yiyi’s professional standards. In several of the pictures, the wolf does not look like a wolf, the tiger does not look like a tiger, and it seems to have a pair of wings and two heads. And the mysterious animals in the pictures are completely incredible and unheard of.

"What kind of book is this?" Yi Yi turned the book to the last two pages of the picture in surprise, but a human hand appeared. There was a circle of white edges on the edge of the hand, as if it was glowing, and his fingers were pressed on an unknown monster.

"What does this mean?" Yi Yi's eyes didn't blink at this picture that could be seen slightly.

After turning a page, the same picture only seems to have changed when the fingers pressed.

The seven consecutive pictures are all similar, but the location is different.

Flipping back and forth, connecting these seven paintings together, a real picture seemed to appear in front of Yi Yi's eyes: human fingers pressing on different parts of a strange animal, namely the back of the head, the shoulder well, the lower abdomen, and the spine...

"It looks like a massage technique no matter how you look?" Yi Yi turned his mind and looked at it for more than ten times. After confirming this point, Yi Yi shook his head and picked up the dark thing that fell aside and looked at it.

When I bought it, I felt quite heavy, like copper and iron objects. However, this thing was completely black and I could barely see some carved patterns. I could not tell what was carved, and I could not tell what was carved. Apart from that, I could not find any other different places.

"Maybe it's an antique?" Yi Yi's heart moved. Maybe he could go to the antique market to identify and sell it for a good price. After a little hesitation, he put the black thing in his pocket, took the strange ancient book and walked into his room, turned on the computer to check it.

Entering keywords such as oracle bone inscriptions, ancient characters, mythical animals, etc. Yi Yi had great hope, but after an hour, he did not find any substantial information.

"Although network tools are convenient, there are too many general information. Maybe there is information related to ancient books, but it is covered up by a large amount of useless information, and it cannot be found useful..."

After thinking about it, Yi Yi called his father and wanted to ask about things related to this book. It would be better to be able to determine the origin of the ancient book, obtain key information, and then search through the Internet.

However, the phone was hung up before it was connected. Yi Yi was so angry that he complained in his heart and shouted loudly that his dad was not here.

I changed the number and called my mother. This time it was clear, but my mother didn't know about the ancient books on the table. After a night, Yi Yi found nothing.

"Oh, it seems that I will only talk about it after my dad comes back!" He shook his head helplessly, flipped through the refrigerator and knocked two eggs for dinner. He was a full meal, but there was no need to say more about the taste.

After turning on the TV and watching for a while, Yi Yi felt uneasy. The pressing technique in the ancient books he had been reading repeatedly kept appearing in his mind, and he felt a little dazed in his mind.

"Is there any supernatural thing about this ancient book?" Yi Yi laughed at himself, turned off the TV, took a shower and went to bed, while the ancient book was placed on the table in the living room.

All night, Yi Yi was having the same dream, dreaming that he was wearing a white coat and giving a strange monster with a bird-body and tiger-head in his clinic, and the massage method was exactly the same as the methods and parts recorded in ancient books...

The ancient books in the living room suddenly shone with a slightly white light in the darkness, and then dimmed and disappeared.

I woke up early the next morning and felt that I was in good spirits. Yi Yi found a pack of frozen dumplings in the refrigerator, cooked a few casually, dealt with them as breakfast, and then walked towards the clinic.

"Woom..."

"Woom..."

As they were walking slowly, the sound of dog barking suddenly sounded. Yi Yi turned his head and saw seven or eight dogs entangled in the grass not far away, biting each other.

"Hmm?" This is rare in cities. The city has strict management of dogs. It is rare for so many stray dogs to bite each other, and the scene is even more spectacular.

"Huh?" After a while of careful look, Yi Yi found that it was all the dogs besieging one.

The one that was besieged was a yellow grass dog with dirty hair and various wounds on his body. He could not resist it at all under the besieged, but did not flee, but instead fought back in vain.

The besieged side were mostly dirty stray dogs, but in terms of fur color and body shape, there were several of them that were good breeds.

"Forget it, I'm a veterinarian at least!" Yi Yi pulled up a stick in the corner of the wall, went up and shouted, the stick flew out and hit the biting dog group. The frightened group of dogs immediately scattered.

The yellow grass dog rolled over from the ground, looked up at Yi Yi, and limped and turned away.

Yi Yi shook his head. It was the most tragic for stray dogs, especially in this reinforced concrete city. If no one takes them in, they will die in a corner of the city one day and be transported away by garbage trucks.

Thinking of this, he sighed in his heart, and Yi Yi shouted, "Tsk tsk, dog, come here!"

Veterinarians also have the ethics of veterinarians. If you can do the things like sheltering stray dogs, you still have to do it within your ability. However, Yi Yi is not in a good situation now and does not intend to take in this grass dog. However, the grass dog is injured, so he should help deal with it, otherwise he will feel a little disgusted.

Cao Dog looked back at Yi Yi, who opened his hands to wave, and then slowly retreated.

For a veterinarian, showing enough kindness to small animals is a compulsory course, and Yi Yi has learned this well.

The grass dog hesitated a little, its tail shaking, its mouth whined twice, and slowly took a limping step, slowly approaching, but maintained a certain distance.

After retreating to the clinic, Yi Yi took out the gauze and the medicine, "Come here, puppy, come and treat your wound!"

The grass dog, who was looking at the door, finally jumped in and came to Yi Yi's side.
Chapter completed!
