Seeing Xu Chen shaking his head and sighing, the little witch looked sad. She held up a wolf cub in her hands and began to sing ancient songs in a low voice. She seemed ready to pray for the wolf cub to ascend to heaven.
In the melodious and clear singing with a hint of sadness, Ye Hedong and several other girls began to sob and cry. Even the noisy group of people watching outside the door quickly became quiet. Some women had red eyes.
Then swallow more.
A poor man has a plan, but a rich man has a conscience.
Although this sentence is not completely correct, it still has a very true side.
In just four years, the Ba people have developed from a tribe that lived in caves with bare clothes and raw materials to a happy life with no worries about food and clothing. It can be said that the biggest change is the mentality.
It turns out that they are living in poverty without enough food and clothing, and have no food to eat. When winter comes, they are afraid that their fellow tribesmen will freeze to death and starve to death. Therefore, their sympathy is almost zero. Except for their own tribesmen, any wild beast is just food for them.
Therefore, it is impossible to raise animals and sympathize with injured or pregnant wild wolves. If you catch them, you will definitely eat them directly.
But as life continues to improve and the crisis of survival gradually escapes, compassion slowly begins to appear. Aiwujiwuxia can also feel a sense of pity for Wolf Er's experience and the wolf pups that have just been born.
Listening to the little witch's melodious and sad song and everyone's sad emotions, Xu Chen was helpless and constantly thinking about ways to do it.
It is true that I have no milk, but the Ba people still have milk.
In addition to the seven or eight lactating women, there were also several mares, a sheep, and a wild ass all lactating.
Human milk is definitely not good. A group of tribal milk babies can't even feed themselves.
Therefore, he could only try mare's milk or goat's milk and donkey's milk. Thinking of this, he gave a few instructions to a sobbing girl, and the girl quickly ran out.
Naturally, the little witch heard Xu Chen's words, stopped singing and asked with surprise on her face: "Can the little wolf drink it?"
Xu Chen thought for a while and said: "You should be able to drink it. You can't just watch them starve to death. It would be okay if Wolf Er died. But Wolf Er is not dead yet, but he is sad to see his children starve to death."
He will also die."
"Yes!" The little witch nodded with a sad face.
A group of people outside the door naturally heard the method Xu Chen said, so some people also went to the third hospital to help get milk.
After about ten minutes, I heard the sound of footsteps, and at the same time, a girl yelled in surprise:
"Let ga, goat milk come ga!"
A large group of people quickly moved out of the way, and a girl came over carefully carrying a pottery bowl with both hands, which contained less than half a bowl of milky white liquid.
"The mare was not allowed to be milked, so she kicked someone and milked the goat..."
As the girl explained, she squatted down and put the pottery bowl on the ground. Ye and the little witch carefully picked out the cubs from the mother wolf's arms one by one and placed them next to the pottery bowl.
But several wolf cubs had just been born, and their eyes had not yet opened. They could only rely on their weak eating instinct to look for breast milk. How could they go to the bowl to drink milk? However, they seemed to smell the smell of goat milk, so several wolves
The cub huddled around the pottery bowl, its weak body constantly trembling and whining.
"Moxi Gaga? I don't know how to drink milk!"
Ye was a little anxious and shoved a little wolf directly into the goat's milk. The little wolf's thin legs suddenly began to struggle.
With a dark face, Xu Chen quickly took the wolf cub off and put it on the animal skin.
Is there any way to feed a child like this?
With such a carefree personality, it may be a bit dangerous to become a mother in the future.
"Go get a little spoon!"
Xu Chen quickly gave an order, and immediately a woman walked straight to the kitchen outside the door, and soon handed in a clay spoon.
Xu Chen asked the little witch to catch a little wolf, scooped some goat milk with a clay spoon, opened the little wolf's mouth and slowly poured it in.
Having the experience of feeding shit to Wolf Big Wolf Er, breastfeeding becomes even easier.
The little wolf swallowed hard, and the milk flowed out of his mouth, and the hands of the little witch and Xu Chen were all over the place. However, seeing that this breastfeeding was effective, the onlookers cheered with surprise and excitement.
The two of them fed two spoons of milk together, and then switched to another wolf pup and continued feeding until all five pups had been fed. The half bowl of goat milk had reached the bottom, but most of it did not actually fall into the bottom.
In the little wolf's belly, it all flowed onto his hands and the ground.
Seeing the five little wolves still searching for milk under Wolf Er's belly, Xu Chen felt a little regretful after wiping his hands clean on a piece of animal skin.
Although the feeding was successful, the waste was too great.
Sheep don't produce much milk to begin with, and there are still two lambs that need to be fed. Feeding them like this is really a waste of resources.
Therefore, the most important task at the moment is to revive Lang Er.
Of course, Wolf Er has just given birth to a litter of cubs, and she has a strong desire to survive driven by her maternal nature.
Moreover, the vitality of the beast is also very strong. As long as Wolf Er can eat and survive the wound infection, he may be able to recover quickly.
Therefore, Xu Chen asked the kitchen to cook some multigrain meat porridge that was often fed to Wolf Big Wolf Er in the past, so as to keep Lang Er alive first, and then slowly nurse him back to health.
However, even if Wolf Er can be revived, he may not have any milk in the near future, and he will have to continue feeding with goat milk.
After breakfast, men, women, old and young all went to work busy doing their respective duties.
Xu Chen went outside for a walk and cut back a piece of bamboo as thick as his thumb.
Last winter, I brought more than ten bamboo roots from the Cicha Lake for planting. Most of them survived in the spring, and more than twenty bamboo shoots of various sizes grew out. After half a year of growth, these bamboo shoots have grown to more than ten meters tall, although they are not as tall as
They grow to the thickness of thighs like those near the big lake, but the thickest ones are also as thick as calves. They look slender and green, adding a bit of a unique scenery around the compound.
The bamboo joint that Xu Chen brought back was actually just a relatively thick bamboo branch.
The bamboo branches are still relatively young, and there is a hollow inside with a diameter of about five millimeters.
Xu Chen quickly processed it into a small water gun in his room with a knife and hammer.
The structure of the small water gun is very simple, and even children in rural areas can make it.
More than ten centimeters long, there is a push-pull wooden stick inside. A small piece of soft animal skin is wrapped around the head of the stick. By pushing and pulling the stick, water can be sucked in and sprayed out.
When Xu Chen came to the warehouse again, there were almost no onlookers, only a group of children and the little witch remained.
Wolf Er was huddled among the straw mats and hay, still looking dying. In a broken pottery pot next to him, there was some cooked multigrain meat porridge, but it looked like he had eaten a few bites, and some was dripping from the outside of the pottery pot.
Five wolf cubs were huddled under the mother wolf's belly. The little witch was squatting in front of the straw mat, using a piece of animal skin to gently wipe the amniotic fluid and mud off the cubs' bodies.
Generally speaking, after animals give birth, the mother will lick the amniotic fluid from her cubs clean, which helps the cubs maintain their body temperature and survive.
However, the second wolf was seriously injured. After barely giving birth to five wolf cubs last night, he was probably completely incapacitated. Therefore, this procedure was not completed. But fortunately, Xu Chen covered it with hay and animal skins last night, so that the five wolves
The cub survived successfully.
After exchanging a few words with the little witch, Xu Chen went to the Third Hospital, found a few men responsible for feeding the livestock, and asked them to help squeeze another half bowl of goat milk.
The milking process was very rough. Xu Chen's face twitched when he saw it. He finally understood why the mare kicked people. If anyone caught his breasts and rubbed them violently, he would definitely fight him to the death.
However, sheep are small in size and weak in strength, and cannot withstand the brutal ravages of three wild men.
Xu Chen was very apologetic and left with half a bowl of goat milk.
This is an urgent need, but we cannot catch a ewe every day, otherwise the two lambs may become malnourished in a few days.
But if you try to rely on these rude and wild men to milk horses and donkeys, you will probably get kicked all over your face.
Although Xu Chen himself doesn't know how to milk, he also knows the priorities and must not be as rough as piling. He needs to be gentle and make the animals relaxed and comfortable.
Mare's milk has a large yield and can be poured into a large bowl in just a few strokes, which is far more convenient and suitable than goat's milk.
Well, it seems that we have to let the tribesmen learn how to milk mare's milk. I will try to find a gentle and careful woman later. It is not reliable for men to do this job.
He returned to the warehouse carrying half a bowl of goat's milk. At this time, Ye slipped in from nowhere and was squatting next to Wolf Er with the little witch, holding a broken comb in his hand to comb Wolf Er's hair.
Seeing Xu Chen coming over with goat milk, the two of them quickly dropped what they were holding and prepared to help.
Xu Chen smiled and handed the goat milk to Ye, then asked the little witch to catch a little wolf and took out the ready-made small water gun from his pocket.
"Is this Moga?" the little witch said with surprise on her face.
"This is a breast feeder, um, it's also a small water gun..."
Xu Chen explained with a smile, put the small water gun into the milk bowl and pumped it, then put it into the little wolf's mouth and slowly pushed the wooden stick.
The milk was slowly injected into the little wolf's throat, forcing it to swallow hard. The sound of gudugudu was heard as it kept swallowing. Soon, almost every drop of the goat's milk from the tube was poured into its belly.
Of course, the wolf cub was also made very uncomfortable by this forced feeding. He kept kicking and struggling. After he was put down, he whined and moaned milkily, and then he moved under the mother wolf's belly and became motionless.
Xu Chen followed suit and quickly fed two more.
Looking at this magical breastfeeding artifact, Ye and the little witch were surprised and happy. Ye begged to feed a wolf cub, so Xu Chen gave her the small water gun and explained in detail how to pump and feed milk.
So soon, the fourth wolf was squeezed directly into the throat of the fourth wolf by a tube of goat's milk like an injection. Because it was squeezed too fast, the little wolf couldn't swallow it, and the goat's milk spurted out of his nose.
Xu Chen:……
The fifth wolf was fed by the little witch, and the situation was slightly better, but it was still very limited, mainly because they were not familiar with water guns.
Xu Chen is different. He has been playing since he was young and has mastered the priorities perfectly.
The appearance of the small water gun made the two girls and a group of children as novel and excited as if they had discovered a new world. However, bamboo is precious now, and it is difficult to find materials to make it if it is broken. Therefore, Xu Chen did not demonstrate the water fight function to a group of children.
.
Otherwise, he believed that within a few days, the newly grown bamboo would soon be severely damaged.
