At the foot of Mianniu Mountain, in the pasture.
Yang Ruoqing said that a calf can eat grass standing up, which is actually a bit exaggerated.
But the calf stood tremblingly next to an adult cow and pressed its head against the cow's neck. This is a fact.
"What, what's going on?" Xiaoduo was running out of breath, and she was really surprised and happy to see the scene in front of her.
The other people's eyes were also widened, excited and excited. The cattle dealer slapped his thigh hard and grinned to one side.
Xiang Shengnan almost jumped three feet high.
Yang Huazhong was more steady, but he nodded happily.
Even Xiang's father, who was the last to arrive on crutches, couldn't help but murmured in wonder: "What kind of magic elixir did this take? Could it be a return to light?"
"Shut your mouth, you won't say a human word!"
The cattle dealer grabbed a handful of dry grass from the ground and threw it at Xiang's father, wanting to rush forward and block his mouth.
Father Xiang smiled and raised a finger to point at the calf: "I am also happy..."
"I'll settle the score with you later!" The cattle dealer dropped these words, turned around and strode towards Niu Duzi.
The calf stood tremblingly next to the cow, occasionally nudging the cow's body with its head, but the cow didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about this new little guy, and was just nibbling on the leaves of grass roots and trees on the ground. There was a crunching sound from chewing.
Niu Daozi was unwilling to give in and would moan twice from time to time, like an aggrieved child.
Everyone looked at this scene and were very pleased.
"Logically speaking... it should be really good, right?" After a brief excitement, the cattle dealer couldn't help but worry again, fearing that Father Xiang's words would come true.
No one could answer this question, so they all turned their attention to Yang Ruoqing.
Because she was the one who brought this mule and horse medicine.
Yang Ruoqing looked at Niu Duzi seriously and said to the others: "Logically speaking, the medicine should be for the symptoms, not the recovery."
Everyone's hearts were half relieved, and their eyes were filled with anticipation.
"Qing'er, go on." Yang Huazhong also suppressed his excitement and asked.
Yang Ruoqing then analyzed: "Based on human common sense, the sellers of calves over there must have fed them well when they sell them, and strive to ensure that each calf reaches the buyer's hands. The belly is round and round, giving the illusion of being fat and strong."
"The food that the seller feeds the calf must be something that is not easy to digest and can resist hunger. Otherwise, wouldn't the calf's stomach become deflated after a few times of diarrhea on the road?"
"And here's the problem. It wouldn't matter if they were adult cows, or if the weather was fine, but this batch of cows are all half-grown calves, just like the young children among us humans. You let them drive so far The journey is exhausting, and it rains all the way. Can you not get sick under such circumstances?"
"On the one hand, it's the cold air from the rain that invades, and on the other hand, it's due to blockage caused by food accumulation in the body that's difficult to digest. The mule and horse medicine I brought here is mainly used to clear up food accumulation."
At this point, the cattle trader suddenly slapped his head and shouted: "Qing'er is right. I remembered that the filth on the ground was smelly. It is probably the accumulated food!"
Yang Ruoqing nodded.
Yang Huazhong also figured it out, and took over the conversation and said, "Just because the food accumulated in the body has been expelled, the calf has become lighter. Now it can stand up and run around, right?"
Yang Ruoqing nodded again, "I added some anti-inflammatory and cold-repelling medicinal powder to the mule and horse medicine. Those medicinal powders are used by us humans. Therefore, the food accumulation in the calf's body is cleared, and the external wind-cold inflammation is also controlled, so that it has strength. stand up."
This is like a person with a high fever. When the fever persists, the whole body is limp, the limbs are sore, the head is dizzy, and the person feels nauseous.
But when he applied saline to suppress the fever and the inflammation subsided, he opened his eyes again and felt that the world had become clearer and he felt lighter.
"Sister, thank you so much! You are truly our great benefactor and the great savior of the little guys!" Xiang Shengnan's eyes were red, and he bowed down to thank Yang Ruoqing in a hoarse voice.
Xiaoduo also secretly wiped away tears and cried with joy.
The cattle dealer looked even more moved, looking at Yang Ruoqing as if he were looking at the Guanyin Bodhisattva who was rescuing those in distress.
As for the reactions of Yang Huazhong and Sun, there is no need to describe them. Anyway, the eldest daughter is the most powerful and capable person in the world.
"You guys don't need to be like this. We are relatives. If we can help, I will help. If it is beyond my ability, there is nothing I can do." Yang Ruoqing smiled modestly and took the Jiaojiao hug from Sun's arms.
Xiaoduo wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "It's better now. We know what the problem is, and the other cows have been saved."
While teasing Jiaojiao, Yang Ruoqing told Xiaoduo: "There are only so many medicines. We don't have any at home. You have to give Niu Duzi medicine according to the severity of his condition. It's not good to use too much medicine."
Except for the second one, the other eight conditions are slightly better, so you don’t need to use so much medicine.
No matter what, with this box of medicine in this wave, ten calves should be able to save their lives.
Xiaoduo and Xiang Shengnan immediately went to work. Xiang's father glanced around and felt that this was the last chance to 'repay his guilt and make meritorious service', so he rolled up his sleeves and said loudly: "I'm here to help you with the medicine."
The cattle dealer's scolding words had already reached his throat. Seeing that Father Xiang actually took the initiative to help, his anger subsided a little.
Yang Huazhong originally planned to help Xiang Shengnan and Xiaoduo give them the medicine and then go back to the village, but the cattle dealer stopped them and forced them to have lunch before going back.
At the lunch table, Xiaoduo killed another goose and cooked it in an iron pot with a lot of dried mushrooms added and two stir-fry dishes. The cattle dealer opened a jar of wine and stood up to give it to Yang Ruoqing, a junior. Toast.
Yang Ruoqing didn't like drinking, but she couldn't resist the hospitality, so she took a few sips.
Even so, no one at the table dared to accuse her.
Because in this wave, she is undoubtedly a living Bodhisattva to the Xiang family.
A box of medicine saved ten calves and recovered the loss of sixty taels of silver. Not to mention that she could still take a few sips of wine. Even if she substituted tea for wine, everyone felt satisfied.
Next, the cattle dealer and Yang Huazhong were there to exchange cups.
Father Xiang also wanted to join, but unfortunately he couldn't.
On the one hand, the cattle dealer couldn't stand what his younger brother was doing, and he liked to scold him at every turn.
Secondly, it was also because Yang Huazhong was very dissatisfied with Xiang's father's words and deeds for a long time.
Especially the initial attitude of Xiang's father and Xiang's mother towards Xiaoduo who was in confinement, and the later hypocritical style of Xiang's father when he was a widow, which almost made life difficult for the young couple...
