Chapter 9 The Donkey's Hoof

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Yan Yu couldn't continue talking, and saw her father and mother looking at her in disbelief.

One of them was exclaiming that my daughter is so amazing and knows so much!

The other one was surprised that her daughter secretly looked at so many "messy" things in a corner that she couldn't see...

Yan Yu decisively covered her head with a quilt, then quietly opened a crack to peek at her parents' subsequent reactions.

She is a short girl now, and it is quite cute for a child to do such an action.

Li Xuemei looked at her cute little look and immediately lost her temper.

Subconsciously I touched my belly.

There is a little life brewing inside...

"Well, compared with what you said, we don't seem to be bad." Li Xuemei said absentmindedly.

Yan Laoer nodded fiercely.

What about extreme environments, viruses, zombies, mutated beasts, weird...

It's scary just thinking about it.

"Our classification is 'Chuoshu'. Are there other classifications? There are other people who are all users of this platform..." Li Xuemei's thoughts were divergent.

"Ah! So are you trading with these people?" Yan Yu's eyes were bright, and she felt that she was good again. She could probably guess what they lacked and wanted.

Li Xuemei thought about it for a while and said, "We're not sure yet, but we can probably prepare in this direction."

Yan Yujin frowned, and based on her experience as a boss, she slowly said: "Food, water, medicine, various daily necessities..."

"Daughter!" Yan Laoer sighed with emotion: "We also lack what you mentioned!"

Yan Yu:……

But isn't it? Their family is also struggling on a precarious line of survival.

"How about I touch an egg tomorrow?" Yan Yu asked cautiously.

She has been observing for a few days. There should be two chickens laying eggs tomorrow. She touches one...it doesn't matter.

Li Xuemei opened her mouth, but still didn't speak.

"Okay, we have to give it a try. If you can't use it, then return it. Borrow it. Let's borrow it for a while." Yan Laoer comforted his wife: "Let's clean up this platform. If we can live a good life in the future, can we still lose it?"

Although the chickens are raised at home, Da Ya is the one who takes care of them. Apart from being a crybaby, the child is so sensible and heart-warming.

"Tomorrow I'll go to Dr. Cui's place to see if I can get some medicine." My daughter is going to touch it, no, it's a waste, and he, as a father, has to work hard.

"I will dry the wheat tomorrow and then tidy up the house." Li Xuemei said, "Go to sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow!"

Yan Yu thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but her little head rolled twice before she fell asleep in a daze.

Before his consciousness finally fell silent, he was still thinking about digging for bugs tomorrow to give the chickens at home a meal...



Cui Langzhong used to be an apprentice at a drug store in the town. He was not good enough to stay in the pharmacy, but he was enough to be a country doctor in the countryside.

When I am busy farming, I collect herbs in my spare time and prepare them by myself.

For his neighbors in the ten miles and eight villages, he does not charge for consultation, but only charges for medicines. Even the medicines are a bit cheaper than those at drug stores in the town.

Even if he had minor illnesses or pains, his neighbors would come looking for him.

Therefore, his family was living a good life. Not only did they buy a donkey, but they also bought a new car.

Yan Lao Er went out before dawn and arrived at Cui Langzhong's house. It was just dawn.

However, Mr. Cui and his family all got up and gathered in the yard around their donkey.

What situation is this?

"Mr. Cui, you're at home!" Yan Laoer greeted outside the hospital.

"The second son of the Yan family, come in quickly! Why are you here? Is your brother bad?" Cui Langzhong asked.

"No, I'm fine after taking your medicine. I'm sorry that it took me a long time to pay you for the medicine." Yan Laoer wandered into the yard and saw something on the wooden shelf.

Unfortunately, no one recognized the medicinal materials that were rarely dried.

When he arrived, he offered the broken silver.

"What's the rush? I'm a fellow countryman. It's not too late to wait until your brother recovers from his illness." Cui Langzhong said politely, but he took it without any slowness in his hands and stuffed it into his sleeve.

The movements are flowing, smooth and natural.

"Wait a minute, I'll give your brother a few more medicines, or two decoctions and two doses. After taking these few medicines, you'll be almost done. From now on, you will mainly rest." Cui Langzhong turned around to grab the medicine and explained: "If I could get it every day

Make him a bowl of meat porridge every day and it will heal faster."

Yan Laoer agreed.

Lao Yan's illness has damaged his vitality, so he needs to make up for it.

The doctor's wife didn't even touch him with her eyes.

But when I saw the white money, I immediately had a smile on my face.

"Xiaozizi, go and bring a stool for your Uncle Yan."

"Second Uncle Yan, please sit down and wait." After struggling for a moment, he turned around and went back to the house to pour a glass of water.

"Hey, sister-in-law Cui, don't be too busy. I'm not thirsty. I've had enough to eat and drink at home. You can hurry up and do your business. I'll take care of myself."

In fact, he just ate half of the multigrain cake with water. At this time of year, no one had enough food, and he didn't want to offend others.

"You're so polite, I'll give it to you and you can continue." The doctor's wife was surprised. Has Yan Laoer learned to be polite since his brother fell ill?

Yan Laoer took it, didn't drink it, put it aside gently, and walked around the donkey.

"This donkey..."

Sister-in-law Cui sighed and said: "Second uncle of the Yan family, you also noticed it, right? There is something wrong with this donkey's leg and he can't stand straight."

Yan Laoer:???

What are you talking about? Shouldn’t the hooves be repaired?

He looked carefully at the four hooves again.

The hoof shell is a little longer, and the legs are turned out slightly to maintain balance.

"It's not a big deal, just practice it." Yan Laoer affirmed.

At first glance, it seems that Mr. Cui’s family has raised a well-raised donkey, with smooth hair and a strong body.

I probably don't use it much in daily life. It eats well and has little work, so these hooves don't grow very fast.

"Where can we repair it? Can it still be repaired?" Sister-in-law Cui was pleasantly surprised.

"The hooves of donkeys, horses, and cows grow very quickly when they move less and eat well. They must be repaired regularly. Otherwise, the hoof shells will grow longer and longer. The donkey will not be able to work hard and its legs will not be able to stand straight.

It's okay. Do you have a sickle at home? I'll trim its hooves."

Yan Laoer thought to himself, isn't this a coincidence?

I am worried about getting close to Mr. Cui.

"You can do this?!" No wonder she was surprised, Yan Laoer was a self-proclaimed scholar and always looked down on country people like them with his nose in the air.

The eldest son of the Yan family is ill and has just learned to speak a few human words.

Now you can even do the dirty work of trimming a donkey's hooves?

She was a little suspicious that Yan Laoer was telling lies, but he spoke clearly and clearly, and looked very understanding, which was really bluffing.

Just as she was hesitating, the boss of her family had already rushed to fetch the sickle and handed it to Mr. Yan.

Yan Laoer looked at it and saw that it was quite sharp.

"Find a piece of hemp rope."

Coyotito couldn't wait any longer, so he found a hemp rope and came back.

Just do it.

Yan Laoer first tied one leg of the donkey. The donkey was very obedient and only moved slightly.

Then he picked up the hoof and went straight to the sickle.

There is no easy-to-use large shovel or small shovel, so scraping with a sickle bit by bit is laborious and slow.

But the conditions are here, so don’t be picky, just do it.
