When Old Uncle Pao came, Lin Shan naturally couldn't tease Xinghua any more, but he stood in front of Xinghua and grabbed Xinghua's little hand with his hands behind his back.
And he was chatting with Old Uncle Pao: "Uncle Old Pao, is this cow about to give birth?"
"No, it's only a day or two, so I brought it back to prevent it from giving birth in the wild and freezing to death." Old Uncle Pao said, leading the big ox into the shed.
Go inside.Lin
Shan followed, waiting for Old Uncle Pao to settle down the big scalper, then handed him a cigarette and said, "Uncle Pao, come here, I'll tell you and Xinghua something."
"What's the matter?" Old Uncle Pao put the cigarette to his nose and smelled it, but he didn't want to smoke it. Instead, he put it behind his ears. He took out tobacco and a piece of paper from his pocket, rolled the cigarette and followed
Come out."
Uncle Pao, Xinghua, I am going to select the best batch of livestock and poultry in the pasture to cultivate superior breeds. You two are the staff of our pasture, so this matter must be left to you.
" Lin Shan said.
"That's no problem. It's just that cultivating varieties may not be that easy..." Old Uncle Pao said with some uncertainty.
Lin Shan smiled and said with relief: "Don't worry, I have obtained new technology from the province, you just need to do as I say. Also, this matter must be kept secret from the outside world, except for the two of you."
We can’t let anyone know about it anymore. Outsiders are not allowed to enter our ranch, but now I must reiterate again that in the future, except for the three of us, no fourth person can be allowed to enter the area where we cultivate superior varieties.”
I understand. Then where should we locate this area?" Old Pao Shu asked.
Lin Shan thought for a while and said: "This area needs to be isolated from the large group, but it cannot be too far away from here, otherwise it will be difficult to take care of it. How about it be at the mountain col above. Let's find someone to build a shed and use a fence.
Isolate an activity area.”
"I think it will work. There is plenty of forage around that place, it is close to here, and it is leeward and can bask in the sun. It is an ideal area." Old Pao Shu said.
Lin Shan looked at Xinghua again, and Xinghua quickly said: "I have no objection."
Okay, let's do it. I'll find someone to come over and build a shed later. You guys have recently selected the best seedlings," Lin Shan said.
In fact, any seedling will do. With the species culture solution, even a toad can be cultivated into a prince. The reason why I say this is to prevent Old Uncle Pao from getting suspicious. "
"Moo..." At this moment, a strange cow cry suddenly came from the cowshed.
Uncle Pao immediately became excited and rushed towards the cowshed: "It's time to give birth." Lin
When Shan heard this, he quickly ran over. In the past few days since the ranch was opened, he had never witnessed the moment when additional animals were added.
Uncle Pao was an expert. He lay down next to the big ox, massaging his belly, and observing the birthing situation of the big ox.
But as he looked at it, Old Uncle Pao frowned.
Lin Shan couldn't help but realize that something was wrong, and asked curiously: "Uncle Pao, what's wrong?"
"The fetus is in an incorrect position and delivery is difficult. I'm afraid the calf may not survive." Old Uncle Pao looked a little unhappy.
"Is there nothing we can do?" Lin Shan asked.
Uncle Pao said with a solemn expression: "Let's give it a try."
After coming down, Uncle Pao started busy according to his past experience, but after working for more than an hour, the calf still failed to give birth smoothly. The big cow mooed, which was heart-wrenching to hear.
"No, there's nothing we can do." Old Uncle Pao said a little lost. Xing
Hua took a towel and wiped the sweat from Lao Pao's forehead, and comforted: "Uncle, don't be too sad, he will still have a chance in the future."
Like Uncle Pao, Hua is an employee of the ranch. These livestock and poultry are taken care of by them every day, just like their own children. Now
It's hard to avoid feeling uncomfortable watching a little life about to die before your eyes.
"Uncle Pao, please keep me safe." Lin Shan also felt a little regretful.
Uncle Pao nodded, and then helped the cow pull the calf out of its belly. The cow seemed to realize that its baby was gone. Not only did it make a sad cry, but even the huge eyes of the cow had tears coming out of it.
Tears.
"Moo...Moo..." Mother
Although the cow was still very weak, it still managed to stand up, walked to its child, licked and rubbed it, and wanted to wake the child up. But
The calf has lost its breath and is motionless.
Looking at this tragic scene, Hua couldn't help but wet her eyes, while Old Pao Shu walked out silently to prepare feed for the cow to replenish the energy lost due to childbirth.
"Hey, it's still breathing." At this moment, Lin Shan suddenly shouted. He
Thinking that he had seen it wrong, he quickly lay down and took a closer look. He saw that his abdomen was indeed rising and falling very faintly. Lin Shan pondered for a moment, then quickly stood up and ran home.
The ranch was not far from his home built halfway up the mountain, and he ran back and forth quickly.
I saw several small bottles in his hand, and then asked Xinghua to bring warm water, and poured the liquid in the small bottles into the calf's mouth. "
Shanzi, what did you give the calf to eat?" Xinghua asked curiously.
Lin Shan said: "It's a potion I extracted from medicinal materials. It can nourish the body. Now that everyone is done, whether it can survive depends on its fate."
Old Uncle Pao brought over the prepared ingredients, but the cow didn't eat a bite and just stayed by the child's side silently. Three
Everyone was squatting in the cowshed, no one said anything, Lin Shan and Xinghua were waiting for a miracle to happen, and Old Uncle Pao was like letting the cow stay with its child for a while.
"Moo..." A crisp cow cry came from the calf's mouth.
Uncle Pao immediately jumped up in surprise: "Alive? Survived? How is this possible? Haha, God bless..."
With this cry, the calf raised its head, kissed the cow's big mouth, and then began to try to stand.
After a long time of hard work, the calf finally stood up, and then staggered under the cow's body to suck milk. At this moment, Lin Shan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If you can find enough food for yourself, the calf will be fine.
The cow seemed to be very happy, feeding her children milk, and also eating the concentrate herself. She needs to eat well so that she can take good care of her children. "
That's great..." Xinghua wiped the wet marks from the corners of her eyes with emotion and sighed.
"Mother and son are safe, everything is going well! Uncle Pao, let's go have a drink and celebrate." Lin Shan laughed. "
Let's go and drink!" Old Uncle Pao also opened his mouth happily. Lin
Shan and Uncle Pao walked out of the cowshed, and at this moment, the cow raised its head from the stone trough and mooed twice at Lin Shan, as if thanking him for saving her child...
