"I gonna go see!"
Yi Niang accepted Uncle Zheng's kindness and brought her husband back from the ghost gate. She has always thought of Uncle Zheng's kindness, but the situation at home was in such a bad state that she couldn't even make a bowl of eggs, otherwise she would give it to his old man. went.
It also takes a lot of effort to prepare the cattle medicine for treating bone injuries. Farmers cannot accept kindness from others in vain. Simple farmers must repay their kindness.
Seeing that something might have happened to Zheng Sanshu Niu, she went to help without saying a word.
The cow doesn't belong to Uncle Zheng's family, but he usually helps some wealthy people's family to herd cattle, and earns a little money, which is enough for a meal. If the cow dies in an accident, selling it to him won't be enough to compensate for the family's cow!
"Slow down! I'm going too!"
Although Liang Chuan's health is not yet well, he has been improving at a speed visible to the naked eye since he woke up. Miraculously, his bones improved rapidly within a few days. It is not difficult for him to get off the ground and he can still walk around!
Yi Niang looked at him worriedly and said: "Third brother, can you do it? This road is not easy to walk. You fell again after a while."
Liang Chuan gritted his teeth: "It doesn't matter!"
Yi Niang helped Liang Chuan go up the mountain. Uncle Zheng went home, took out all the cattle medicine prepared at home, held it in his arms and rushed towards the mountain! I'm afraid that if I go too late, the cow might die!
Finally I arrived at the mountain and finally saw this ox. It had a huge body with smooth and shiny cowhide. In front of the ox, there were a lot of grasses that the cows loved to eat. It was not necessary to cut several loads of grass in this season. Easy, it can be seen that Uncle Zheng has put a lot of effort into this cow and takes good care of it!
The cow's nose was tied to a tree trunk not far away. The cow was kneeling on the ground, its eyes as big as copper bells were filled with bloodshot eyes, and it kept mooing. Even people who couldn't understand the sound could still hear it. The ox was in great pain and begged its owner to save its life!
The old man stumbled in front of the cow and knelt down directly to the cow. He took out various cow medicines in his hand, opened the corks of the medicine jars and bottles, and begged the cattle, which medicine would hurt it. , can relieve it!
An old man sat on the ground and cried like a helpless child because of a scalper. Liang Chuan and Yi Niang who came over saw this scene and couldn't bear to watch any more. Yi Niang comforted her third uncle and said, "Uncle Stop crying, what happened to the cow, let’s find a solution together!”
Uncle Zheng beat his chest and said: "The cows were fine this morning. After I took the cows to eat grass, I took them to the foot of the mountain to rest. I was thinking about going to the town to buy some rice. When I came back, I saw two damn young men who didn't know how to feed them. What should I feed my cows? I shouted at the top of my lungs. When they saw me coming, they abandoned the cows and ran away, leaving a few nails on the ground! These unscrupulous and unscrupulous people, they actually gave me The cows are fed to the nails!"
The poor cow seemed to be able to understand what Uncle Zheng said, and the third uncle just told the source of its pain. It was so grateful that the cow rubbed its head on the third uncle's body, and kept mooing in its mouth, just like a sick child asking for help. His parents made Liang Chuan feel sad!
Oxen were valuable production tools in ancient times. If an ordinary family had a cow, they could serve it like an ancestor. The imperial court also valued cattle such as oxen. Under the national policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, cattle were indispensable. There has been explicit legislation in the past dynasties, and private slaughter of healthy adult cattle for farming is punishable by law.
Liang Chuan walked a few steps and picked up a few slightly rusty nails from the ground. They were covered with a layer of grass juice, which suppressed the rusty smell of the nails.
"Who are these people? They are so lawless. What's the difference between feeding nails to cows in broad daylight and killing them directly? Third uncle, do you recognize that group of birdmen?"
"I don't know him, and I've never seen this group of people in the village. The deer-headed rat-eyed man is not a good thing at first glance. He's been killed these days...!"
"Third uncle, have you had any grudges with anyone these days?"
Yi Niang glanced at him and said: "Uncle San usually herds cows and smiles when he meets everyone. We in Fengshan Township have not gone out, so how can we offend anyone? Fengshan Township is full of honest farmers. Whose family Who in the future would do such an immoral thing?"
"That's right. If it was done by people nearby, everyone should know each other without looking up. Killing a farm cow is as serious a crime as murder. It's not a joke to be sent to the county magistrate for punishment. There are probably not many people. Have the guts to do it!"
"Cow...my cow..."
The ox knelt on the ground, and tears began to flow from its eyes. Whether it was in pain or begging for help from the third uncle, it was extremely rare to see a ox shed tears. It was said that the cow was a spiritual animal, and what I saw today was indeed true.
Yi Niang comforted her third uncle and said, "Why don't I go to the town to buy some laxatives and let the cow eat it and see if the nails that can't be excreted come out!"
Uncle Zheng was anxious and confused. He had never encountered such a thing before, and he valued this old cow very much. He was so panicked that he only remembered to cry. After hearing what Yi Niang said, he knew that he had to find a way. Even if he cried to death, the cow would have to follow. die.
"Okay, okay... Yi Niang, I really can't walk anymore. You have good legs. Help me buy a pound of croton flour. I'll give you the money later."
ah! No Money. . Uncle Zheng helped people herd cattle on weekdays and spent whatever money he had. He had no children at home and had never saved any money in his life.
Yi Niang had no money at all. In order to treat Liang Chuan's injuries, she spent almost all the money she had at home. Even buying a kilogram of croton powder was difficult for her.
Liang Chuan saw Yi Niang's predicament, thought for a while and said: "In my opinion, buying croton flour is useless. If the cow eats too much, it will have diarrhea and then die. It's hard to tell. The owner of the cow will definitely say that it's you, the third uncle." Feeding croton meal to cows kills them!”
Liang Chuan paused and then said: "Besides, cows have several stomachs, and nails in the stomach will only tear the internal organs repeatedly, and they will not be excreted at all!"
"Sanlang, I've never seen you so eloquent before. Did you fall and knock your brain out? Or maybe the mountain god and earth god gave you enlightenment and know so much. Please help me think of a solution!"
After Uncle Zheng said this, Yi Niang also realized that she, the third brother Liang Chuan and Liang, could not beat him with three sticks before, but now he talks about some weird terms and talks about the truth one after another. He didn’t even know that this third brother actually knew so much!
Could it be that surviving a catastrophe will lead to good fortune in the future? If someone falls, he will not be stunned but will be enlightened instead?
Liang Chuan thought for a moment and said, "The way we do it back home is to tie up the cow and call a veterinarian to cut open the cow's belly and take out the nails. It's simple and quick, but..."
Before he finished speaking, the two of them were dumbfounded. Uncle Zheng cried even harder: "Is it possible to survive if your stomach is opened?"
"Ahem, let me think of a solution!"
He thought for a moment, and the person from the Institute of Animal Science of the college next door seemed to have encountered such a problem before. Treating cattle is a science, but they generally don't do this. You have to know how much money can be made from operating on cattle. Too much. If the cow is cured in a few moments, it will be too embarrassing to collect money from the ranch owner!
This is the same as demolishing a house. The contract does not guarantee the quantity. You will be paid when the progress is completed. As for the amount of work and how much things to do, the owner cannot control it. Otherwise, the skilled people will demolish it with a hammer, and the bad ones will be demolished in three months. Can't you pay every three months?
The Academy of Animal Science is quite familiar with them, and sometimes they will show off their professional skills to each other. If they encountered a situation like this themselves, they would not be able to perform an operation. They would find a ball of cotton and let the cow eat it. The cow's stomach cannot digest the cotton. , will roll into a ball in the belly of the cow. Over time, the nails will become tangled in the cotton, and it will be discharged in three to five days.
But this is also very risky. If the nail sticks to the stomach wall and the cotton cannot stick to it, the cow will have to wait for death!
Besides, if you can’t even afford Croton, do you still have money to buy cotton?
Got it!
"Whose house around us doesn't have a magnet? Go and borrow one from them! Get some oil!"
"Touching a stone? I remember Zhaodi. He usually likes to wander in the mountains. One time he picked up a stone that can attract iron. He told me several times, and I said it is good for absorbing needles and other things. ..!”
At this point, Yi Niang seemed to understand something. She looked at Liang Chuan with bright eyes and said happily: "Use a magnet to suck out the nails!"
"Yes, this method is the best if the cow is eaten shortly after it is eaten!"
Yi Niang immediately went down the mountain and went to Zhaodi's house to get the black piece of magnet. There was still a little oil foam in the oil tank at home. She went home and wiped the magnet again, and soon she was back on the mountain!
"Bring it!"
Liang Chuan said to Uncle Zheng: "Uncle, you and I will hold the cow's head for a while. Yi Niang's hand is relatively small, so let her put her hand into the cow's stomach and tinker with it. Remember not to let go, otherwise Yi Niang's hand will be gone." Got it!"
"Quick, quick, quick...!" Sanshu Zheng got up from the ground, and first comforted the scalper for a while: "Brother, this is for your own good. Open your mouth. You can endure it for a while, and it will stop hurting soon!"
The scalper seemed to be connected with him, and after understanding his words, he opened the cow's mouth wide open. Liang Chuan and Zheng Sanshu were holding the cow's head respectively. Yi Niang saw that the cow's mouth was open and quickly reached in with her hand. His hand moved around in the cow's belly.
The cow seemed to be in pain, its mouth kept closing, and it seemed that it knew that this was to treat his illness, so it insisted on holding back the pain, and the cow's tears flowed down!
Yi Niang scraped the cow's belly, and her hands were covered with various mucus. She felt that the magnet on her hand seemed to be attracted to something, so she decisively pulled her hand out!
The three people took a look and found that the magnet in their hands had indeed attracted a black iron nail. The foreign object in the cow's belly was gone. There was no longer the bloating feeling that they couldn't swallow. They immediately stood up from the ground and looked up to the sky happily. He mooed a few times, nuzzled next to Yi Niang gratefully, then lowered his head and started eating grass. .
What a spiritual guy!
When Uncle Zheng saw the bloodshot eyes of the bull, the bloodshot eyes disappeared immediately. The scalper's condition returned to its original state, and he thanked Liang Chuan profusely. The dull and honest Uncle Zheng actually didn't talk much at first. He only smiled when he met everyone and could not say more than a few words all year round. , Niu got better and his old temper came back again, and his mouth seemed to have become dumber. He could only say a few words: "Good people are rewarded!"
Liang Chuan said: "You always saved my life. This is nothing to me. I don't need to be like this!"
Uncle Zheng sighed with emotion: "Your baby was not like this before, but now I feel that not only is he more energetic, but his brain is also brighter. It's a blessing in disguise!"
