my weird life.

Chapter 328 Mule and Colt (12)

"Go, go, bring it a basin of warm salt water!"

"When a pregnant animal is about to give birth, its appetite should not be very good.

This animal has such a good appetite?
I am quite full! "

"Is it good or bad to eat well?"

"It's a good thing,

It's also bad.

Just like a human being, when you have enough to eat, you always have the strength to do it.
The bad thing is that if you eat too much, you may vomit and regurgitate during the calving process, which will consume more energy instead.
But you don't have to worry too much,

This animal has a strong physique. The old man has never seen such a strong mule in his life.
Such a good physical foundation,

Cubs are always easier..."

"It's coming out!
It's coming out! "

"The little boy is so big, I'm afraid it will be difficult to give birth!
Get the scissors!
Scald it in hot water..."

in the stable,
Several disciples of the kitchen class, under the command of an old man with a stooped back and wearing a long robe, kept busy.

A large space was cleared in the shed,
The green donkey and the draft horse were taken out of the stable,
Only the mule was left here, neighing in pain.

Its cubs are about to come out,

The hunchbacked old man was watching from behind its buttocks, asking for various tools, scalding them in hot water, and fiddled with the cub, which was gradually showing its head, from time to time.

The old man gestured with the scissors in his hand,

It never came in handy.

This horse mule is really strong, even he thinks it is rare.

If you use iron tools now, the wound may not be healed well by then, and dragging down the life of such a good animal is a great sin, and it is a signboard for smashing your own!

Yes,

The old man wants to observe again,

If you can use iron tools to help take out the cub, then don't!

I don't know that the secret prayer in his heart played a role,

Or this mule should die,
He originally thought that the mule fetus was too big and would cause dystocia,

Unexpectedly, under the continuous neighing of the mule, the cub crawled out little by little!

At least two cubs the size of an ordinary mule curled up on the haystack, kneeling and sitting under their mother,
The big horse mule stretched its head over again,

She tore off the fascia and placenta from her own cub.

"Give the big mule some salt water!"

The hunchbacked old man took a basin of warm salt water from Gou Sheng,

I tried the temperature with my hand,
and brought the brine to the mule,
After giving birth, the big horse mule was already tired and thirsty, so he immediately lowered his head and stretched his mouth into the water basin, and took a deep breath.

When it drank the water,
The old man went to check the condition of the little mule again, looked at its frame, and said in admiration: "This is the first time this old man has seen such a big mule at birth.

For this little mule, let it eat its mother's milk for the first fifteen days.

Then slowly feed some concentrated feed,
Add roughage to the concentrated feed step by step to give it time to adapt.

Also...

Would you like to prescribe some medicine for your big mule?It recovers faster,
To tell the truth, old man,
This mule has a strong physique, in fact, it is okay not to prescribe medicine, if you are not at ease, you can prescribe a few medicines. "

The hunchbacked old man looked at Su Wu,
With a smile on his face,

Su Wu glanced at the mule, and replied: "Let's prescribe some medicine, childbirth is a big deal,

My master took good care of this animal and prescribed some medicine to prevent it from getting to the root of the disease, and we felt at ease. "

"All right, all right, if you are willing to pay for a few medicines, this old man can make more money." The hunchbacked old man was honest.

It put the medicine box on the ground,

He took out a pen and paper from the box, spread it on the medicine box, wrote a prescription, and then took out a few packs of medicine that had been prepared according to the prescription,

Passed the prescription and medicinal materials to Su Wu: "Just give it two doses a day."

"Thank you!" Su Wu took out a few dimes of silver from his bosom, and paid the money.

"Don't feed the mule head of a big horse for a day,

If it has the intention to eat the next day, you can give it less food,

On the third day, you can gradually return to your normal diet. "After taking the money, the old man said some more,
Su Wu took notes one by one,

Send the old man out of the Cui family mansion.

He turned back to the stable,
After reading the prescription carefully, I immediately understood that this prescription mainly has the effect of promoting blood circulation and replenishing deficiencies.
After deleting a few herbs with incompatible medicinal properties, Su Wu added some secret Tibetan herbs into it to form a medicine, and handed it to Xiangdi who was guarding the little mule: "Sister-in-law, please help me make a medicine." medicine."

"I'm idle and have nothing to do,
It's not troublesome to boil medicine, so why do you need Mr. Xiaozhangzao to bother you? Xiangdi took the medicine bag, smiled and went down.

Squatting beside the little mule, Zhu'er stroked the little mule's still wet hair and said in amazement: "This little foal is really big.

I have seen several foals that were half its size or even smaller when they were born! "

"Okay, don't touch it casually, it can't stand the smell of strangers, it's too young, and it will get sick easily." Qing Miao smiled softly, and pushed away Zhu'er's hand that was stroking Xiao Juzi.

Xiuxiu squatted beside her, and she wanted to touch it too.
Hearing this, he withdrew his little hand.

"Gousheng, go tell Master, the horse mule has already come out,

all the best,
Mother and child are safe. "Su Wu said to Gou Sheng.

"Okay!" Gou Sheng agreed, and left in a hurry.

Before he had gone far, Su Wu called him again: "By the way, borrow the improved five inner jars from Master!"

Gou Sheng was taken aback when he heard the words,
Turning his head to look at the little mule on the ground, hesitantly said: "Does brother want to test the fortune of this little mule?"

"Go!

Don't delay! "

Su Wu urged again,
Gou Sheng didn't ask any more questions, and went to report the situation to Master Dian Dian.

Not long after,

The dog is back,
Borrowing five internal pots, he said: "Brother, Master said that you have nothing to do and want to tell a mule's fortune.
Let me take the five inner cans back as soon as possible. "

"I see." Su Wu took the five inner jars, nodded,
Tear off a blank piece of paper from the edge of the prescription just now, and then look at Qing Miao: "Qing Miao, help me cut a strand of hair from a little mule,

be careful
Don't hurt it. "

"it is good."

Qing Miao agreed softly, picked up the unused scissors from the old veterinarian just now, and scalded them in boiling water,
Instead, he gently cut off a strand of hair from the little mule and handed it to Su Wu.

Su Wu stuffed the lock of hair into the tiger's mouth in front of the five inner jars, rolled up the paper strips, and stuffed them into the small hole in the back.

There was a slight noise in the five inner tanks,

The note was slowly 'pulled' out from behind the jar.

The master once said,

The probability of a mule being able to conceive and give birth to a cub is extremely small.

It is regarded as an ominous sign that the mule is pregnant.

Although Master doesn't care about this matter now, Su Wu still takes it to heart.

The moment is to test the fate of the little mule,
See how many forks it has in its life?

Is fate good?
Su Wu picked up the note and looked at it, and was taken aback for a moment!
——On that piece of paper, the fortune-telling fork displayed is extremely dense!
He counted carefully,
It was discovered that there were as many as "four and six forks" in the life of the little mule and foal.
Fate of four, two or six dollars!
This fate is very good,
It's just that the fate of many people has not reached as high as four, two or six dollars!

A mule has reached it!

Su Wu was quite surprised in his heart,

He also asked Qing Miao to cut a strand of hair from a big mule and test it, and found that the big mule also has a fate of three or two dollars!
It's amazing!
A mule has a fate of this weight,
What will happen?
In the past, there was no improved version of the five inner pots, and it was extremely difficult to measure a person's fate or the weight of Li Wei's fate.

Su Wu didn't think of it either.
The fate of the mule mother and child is so precious!
He also measured the fates of the dogs he bought—their fates were much more normal, mostly under one or two,
Only a little yellow dog's fate has reached one, two or three dollars, which is no match for two horse mules!

It seems that

The mule conceived and gave birth,
Most likely not a bad omen,
On the contrary, it is more likely to be a good omen...

Su Wu burned the few notes to ashes,
Resisting the urge to test the fortunes of the younger brothers and sisters on the spot,
If they know

Their fate was not even comparable to that of two animals, so it was a blow to them.

and,

The fork of fate can reflect the weight of fate,
Most of the people with high fate weight have better fate.

But people with low fate are not necessarily all with extremely bad fate.

Specific situations still need to be analyzed in detail in order to draw more realistic results.

When Su Wu tested the fate of the mule,
Xiangdi's sister-in-law has also boiled the medicinal soup and brought it over.

He ordered Gousheng to return the improved five inner cans to the master, and instead fed the medicinal soup to the big horse mule himself.

He didn't understand the animal's pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum care, cub management, etc., so he strictly followed the old veterinarian's instructions, and only fed the big horse mule with medicinal soup for promoting blood circulation and replenishing deficiencies.
No medicine was given to the foal.

but,

The medicinal soup that the big mule drank, the medicinal properties will also remain in the milk,

The little mule eats food every day, which can be regarded as sharing the efficacy of the medicine.

In the three to five days since then,
Su Wu served Master every day after taking the medicinal soup,

Then he turned to look at the mule mother and son.

This mule with a very high life expectancy also grows extremely fast, perhaps due to the mother's sufficient milk, which contains medicinal benefits, it only took four or five days.
It can run and jump around steadily,
Most animals are jubilant when they are young,
Therefore, in the Cui family's mansion, I often saw this little mule running and having fun behind several puppies, causing bursts of laughter.

Su Wu told Master about the fact that the little mule foal was worth four, two or six dollars.
Master does not know the reason for this,
He was also very surprised, and asked Su Wuhao to raise this mule,

It might come in handy in the future.

A few days later,
The little mule is really walking steadily,

The big horse mule has also recovered a lot, can eat and drink, is fat and healthy, and does not show any weakness caused by childbirth.

Only then did everyone in Zaoban set off again.

Even though the big mule runs like flying, it is still strong and strong,

But the kitchen team is not willing to let it bear the heavy burden immediately,
Just let it pull an empty carriage,

Let the draft horse and the green donkey share more weight,

Departure turned to 'Brocade Mountain'.

Although the team had already set off, Master was still ordered by Su Wu to rest in the carriage, and he still had to take medicinal soup every day.

That medicinal soup is indeed very effective,

Even Li Yueshan himself could feel that after taking the medicinal soup, his spirit became better and better every day.
He thought to himself that the eldest disciple might have invited a miraculous doctor to treat him.

Therefore, there is no rejection of taking medicine every day.

Only the big disciple who is not angry is 'monitoring' himself all the time, and even strictly limits the time he can get out of the car and walk around.
