Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother

Honghui just felt uncomfortable with his father's departure! When his father was away, his mother was afraid of getting tanned so she rarely went out of the house. What was the point of walking around the house alone?

Su Peisheng also went back with them, but Gao Wuyong stayed here. Seeing that the eldest prince was a little depressed, he quickly made a suggestion: "Eldest prince, how about I take you out to fish?"

Honghui shook his head and sighed, "No need, I've had enough fun these past few days, I don't really want to go fishing or catching shrimps."

Gao Wuyong did not give up, and immediately made another suggestion: "How about I take you to see the livestock raised on the farm? There are chickens, ducks, geese, cows, sheep, horses, donkeys, and even rabbits and pigs. You haven't been to see them in the past few days, have you?"

Yes, how could he forget about the cow? He had been thinking about the so-called cowpox before, but he had forgotten all about it in the past few days at the farm!

Honghui nodded hurriedly: "Let's go, lead the way, I will take a look first."

Gao Wuyong breathed a sigh of relief and led the eldest prince towards the livestock shed. Behind the two of them were only Zhao Quanshun and a servant from the front yard. Apart from them, there was no one else.

The place where livestock are raised on the farm is not in the same direction as the mulberry forest, pond, etc., but it is neither far nor close to the vegetable field. It takes about a quarter of an hour to walk there.

"Big brother, the sheds mostly have cattle, sheep, pigs and pigs, as well as some horses and donkeys. Chickens, ducks and geese are all raised in another place. You see, that's the fenced-off area. There's also a pond there, where ducks and geese are usually raised, so it doesn't look that clear."

Honghui glanced into the distance, then looked away, staring at the direction of the shed. The shed was built carefully and there were people to take care of it. There were few middle-aged men, but mostly teenagers who were feeding cattle and sheep with grass.

Got it, I finally found where the cowshed is!

Honghui could not wait to take a few steps forward, saying, "In the morning, the cattle are herded under the stars in the hottest days of the year. During the day, they seek the fragrant grass and green shade to sleep. In spring, the cattle are not allowed to run into the setting sun. They return to drink from the stream at dusk. Since ancient times, cattle have been the foundation of farming and the people have relied on them. Let's go and take a look at the cowshed."

This was unnecessary for him. Even without this explanation, the group would only value the cows that could plow the fields. As for the other livestock, they would just take a quick look at them.

The cowshed looked tidier than the other sheds. The roof was covered tightly and the shed was clean. There were a few boys inside cleaning the cows.

"Are these all shepherd boys?" Honghui asked.

The steward in charge of looking after the livestock replied softly, "My dear elder brother, these people are the shepherd boys on the farm. The tenants on the farm, whether they are old or young, have to be busy with farm work. Only these young boys have the leisure time to take care of the oxen."

“How many cows are there?”

"My dear brother, there are a total of fifty-seven cows on the farm, of which there are about thirty that can be used for farming, fifteen or sixteen calves and half-grown calves, four or five pregnant cows, and two or three dairy cows."

Honghui was stunned. He only knew that cowpox came from cows, but he had no idea what it looked like. Not only that, he had never even seen smallpox, so he felt that he had a long way to go.

He took a deep breath and pretended to be calm. "You ask the shepherds to pick a few cows each. I want to get closer and touch these cows."

The young steward was somewhat reluctant and hesitant, saying, "Big Brother, old cows and cows are good-tempered and willing to be touched, but calves and young cows that are one or two years old are different. They are likely to kick, and it would be bad if they kick you again."

Gao Wuyong hurriedly advised: "Big Brother, your health is more important, it is better not to take risks."

This won't work. Cowpox is right before his eyes, and he can't bear the temptation. Honghui recalled carefully, and it seemed that someone had mentioned that cowpox mostly appeared in cows, so there was no need for calves and young cows.

"Then just pick old cows and cows. Don't forget the pregnant cows. Oh, and the dairy cows. Pick two of each. I want to see everything clearly."

Seeing that the eldest prince had given in, the young steward's face softened. He first exchanged a glance with Gao Wuyong, and after seeing him nod, he called out loudly, "Dongsheng, did you hear the eldest prince's instructions? Go and pick out a few docile cows. Remember, they must be extremely docile!"

A young boy with a few spots on his face came over, hesitatingly saying, "Big...Big brother, I'll take you in to have a look. The cow...can't stand the sun..."

The steward immediately glared at him and scolded him, "You have no vision. How can you, as the eldest prince's daughter, go to the cowshed? Just sunbathing for a short while, what's the big deal?"

Seeing that his wish was about to be fulfilled, Honghui was afraid that something might go wrong, so he quickly tried to smooth things over, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm not that delicate, Dongsheng, just take me to the cowshed."

Since the eldest prince had already spoken, the steward had no choice but to give up and let Dongsheng take the eldest prince and eunuch Gao to the cowshed.

First it was the old cow. Honghui looked around and even touched it several times, but didn't see any herpes. He could only walk out unwillingly and go to another shed.

There was nothing unusual about the cows and dairy cows. Was he just so unlucky? Or had no cows on the farm ever had cowpox?

Honghui felt a little discouraged, and his steps became heavy instead of light. He just hoped that the pregnant cow would have cowpox.

The bodies of pregnant mothers and cows are precious, so each one lives in a separate shed. But that’s not important. What’s important is that he saw at a glance that one of the cows had many rashes on its body. Could that be the legendary cowpox?

Honghui couldn't help but put his hand on it and asked, "What's going on? Why did the cow get pox? Won't it hurt?"

Dongsheng quickly replied, "No... No, Big Brother... Don't worry, this is just common cowpox, most cows will get it, and several other pregnant cows also have it. Look here, are there some blisters? That's it..."

What? The cowpox has been found already?

Honghui looked down along the direction of Dongsheng's finger, and saw some ulceration underneath, with blisters and pustules around it, which looked somewhat horrifying.

But how can I tell my father that cowpox is safer than human smallpox?

He didn't want to arouse any suspicion!
