"Brothers, this guy is a bit naive, getting mad at a dog?"
"Although I find him childish, if I were the one whose takeout got stolen, I'd also want to get mad at that dog!"
"I mean, did you see all those wounds on him? Are you sure he wants to pick a fight with the dog? He might end up getting killed instead!"
"Hiss! Kids say the darnedest things! Doggie, just let it slide like a fart!"
"..."
—
Listening to the university students.
Chen Mu still couldn't quite understand.
"According to what you said, the dog that stole the takeout doesn't have much fighting power."
"How did you end up like this..."
The college student's once prideful expression instantly turned bitter.
He sniffed his nose.
Remembering the excruciating experience from just a few minutes ago.
"I..."
"Maybe I got a bit too carried away."
"To taunt that big yellow dog, I not only ate in front of it, I even smacked my lips hard."
"Not only did I smack my lips, but I also described to it just how delicious that takeout was."
Chen Mu · Su Bingbing: "..."
—
"Brothers, I can't take it! Forget the dog, even I want to take a bite out of him after hearing that description!"
"I've lived so long, it's the first time I've understood a dog."
"Competing with a dog for food, eating in front of the dog, this guy is essentially a Da Congming..."
"..."
The guy beside him couldn't help but snicker several times.
But seeing his friend's aggrieved look, he forcefully held back.
Even though he didn't laugh out loud, the corners of his mouth kept rising, betraying his true thoughts.
"I just ate a few bites, and I managed to drive the dog away."
"At that time, I didn't think much of it. I'd already sat down, so I figured I'd finish my meal before leaving."
"But who would have thought..."
The student put on a "mask of pain."
"Who would have thought..."
"Shortly after, that dog came back, barking at me!"
"I just kept taunting it."
"Who knew, it had actually gone to round up more dogs!"
"Can you imagine? In such a short time, a dozen dogs managed to bite me into this state!"
"And those dogs were disgusting. When I got bitten, the unfinished fried chicken fell on the ground, and they just took the chicken right in front of my eyes!"
The more he talked, the angrier he got.
His whole body trembled like a sieve.
"Hahaha! Brothers, I have a very low threshold for laughter, generally can't hold it in, and this one, I just can't, hahahaha!!!"
"Who knew the dog would go and round up more dogs?"
"So, should we say he attracted the dogs, or the dogs attracted him? The dog stole the takeout first, but he provoked the dog first!"
"What's with the bullet comments, victim blaming?"
"Classic! Too classic!"
"..."
—
Chen Mu took the student back to the campus clinic.
Perhaps recalling the whole process of getting injured, the student wept like it was raining all the way.
No one could console him.
"Did you get a rabies vaccine in the past few months?"
Chen Mu began preparing anti-inflammatory medicine for the student's wounds.
The student shook his head: "No..."
Chen Mu raised his hand to check the time, "The driver from the clinic might take another half an hour to return, I'll treat your wounds first."
"But before treating the wounds, there's something I must make clear to you."
The student nodded eagerly, "Doctor, don't worry, I'm afraid of dying, so I'll definitely follow your advice!"
Chen Mu: "I can see that..."
"First, a few of your wounds are quite serious and may require stitches at a hospital."
"I can only do simple preliminary disinfection here. Most of the wounds I can handle, but do you want to go directly to the hospital or have me treat you first?"
Without thinking, the student said, "You treat me first!"
Since he's already at the campus clinic, he naturally wants to trust the treatment plan given by the campus doctor.
Besides…
He noticed that the campus doctor was even participating in a live broadcast!
No way the campus doctor would dare mess up his treatment in front of so many eyes!
Chen Mu didn't realize that the obedient-looking guy had so many calculations in his mind.
"Alright, I'll arrange it. After I treat your wounds—"
"You'll take the clinic's car to a nearby community hospital; someone from the school will accompany you to get the rabies vaccine, but you'll have to pay for this vaccine yourself."
Self-pay…
Hearing those words, the student's face showed a troubled expression.
After hesitating for a few seconds.
The student turned to Chen Mu, "Dr. Chen, can part of the rabies vaccine cost be reimbursed with student insurance?"
Chen Mu shook his head: "Rabies vaccines are in category C, your insurance can't cover them."
Student: "Then can I call my mom first? I have less than a hundred bucks on me, not enough for the vaccine..."
Chen Mu: "Go ahead."
With Chen Mu's permission, the student limped out of the medical room.
It seemed.
He intentionally found a place where others couldn't hear him to make that call for money.
Chen Mu looked at the sterilization tray in front of him, pondered for a moment, then looked up.
His gaze fell on Su Bingbing beside him.
"Reporter Su, promise me something."
Su Bingbing: "Dr. Chen, go ahead."
Chen Mu: "Whatever happens later, don't volunteer to lend money. If they ask you for money, it's up to you, but remember, even if you lend money, always get an IOU or something."
Su Bingbing didn't quite understand the meaning behind Chen Mu's words.
But for some reason.
Seeing Chen Mu's serious face, she instinctively nodded: "Dr. Chen, I've memorized your words. I'll be sure to follow them strictly!"
—
A few minutes later.
The student limped back into the campus clinic.
Cautiously looking at Chen Mu, "Dr. Chen, is it absolutely necessary to get this rabies vaccine? Is there any chance there's a folk remedy that can replace it?"
"What does that mean? Could it be his family won't even provide money for the rabies vaccine?"
"Is there any way to raise funds for this kid?"
"His clothes don't look too poor, so his family should be able to afford the rabies vaccine."
"Is it possible some people might have money but lack common sense?"
"Most likely, the family doesn't understand the importance of the rabies vaccine and thinks it's an unnecessary expense."
"Poor kid..."
"..."
—
"No."
Faced with the student's hopeful gaze, Chen Mu decisively shook his head, "There is no folk remedy to replace the rabies vaccine. Moreover, should rabies onset, given current medical technology, it can't be treated, you'd just be waiting to die."
The student hesitated for a moment, unsure, "Surely that's not true..."
"My mom says if a dog bites you, there's no need for a rabies vaccine, that's just a scam to milk money."
"Whichever house the dog belongs to, just pull some pickled vegetables from their jar and eat them, and you'll be fine!"
"Dr. Chen, maybe I shouldn't get this rabies vaccine..."
