Chapter 18: Ranchers
Nan Zhiqiao analyzed: "Judging from the degree of decay of the corpses in this unfilled sheep corpse pit, the time of death is within two weeks, but the first sheep corpse you just saw was dragged out of the corpse pit by other animals, and the time of death was earlier, and the sheep died in batches in large numbers, it must be an epidemic in the flock."

Ye Zhenzhen asked, "What epidemic?"
Nan Zhiqiao thought about what he had experienced along the way after coming to the sheep pasture, and said: "Usually docile sheep will be angry, ewes are prone to miscarriage, and adult sheep will die in large numbers. ”
Ye Zhenzhen: "Is the sheep cloth disease very serious?"
"Well, it will have a big impact on animal husbandry. Nan Zhiqiao paused for a moment, and then said: "However, this was the epidemic area before, and the animal husbandry management department would regularly immunize the sheep, and there has been no report of the disease in S City for many years. ”
Ye Zhenzhen: "Then why is there still an epidemic of cloth disease here?"
Nan Zhiqiao said coldly: "Then you have to ask the rancher here." ”
Ye Zhenzhen looked into the bushes again, there seemed to be a hidden mound inside, Ye Zhenzhen asked: "Senior Nan, should we go in again and see how many sheep corpse pits there are." ”
Nan Zhiqiao shook his head, "No need, let's leave this valley first, and we don't have to look at the sheepfold on the hillside, and after we go out, call the CDC and the animal husbandry and veterinary department to inform you that there is a suspected outbreak of cloth disease here." ”
Ye Zhenzhen asked: "This matter still needs to be reported to the CDC?"
"Well, the disease is zoonotic, and this valley is the hardest hit area, and we are also in danger here. ”
Ye Zhenzhen asked in surprise: "This disease is contagious, are they infected?"
Nan Zhiqiao: "Not necessarily, the late autumn season is also the flu season, and judging from the symptoms you described before, he does not have the typical symptoms of cloth disease......"
"Wangwang......" Nan Zhiqiao did not finish speaking, and there was another barking of sheepdogs outside the bushes.
"What's going on again?" Ye Zhenzhen said in her heart, "There won't be any other corpses, I don't want to see any more horrible and disgusting scenes." ”
Ye Zhenzhen looked out of the bushes and vaguely saw a figure coming over.
"Someone seems to be coming. Ye Zhenzhen said as she walked along the same path to the bushes.
Soon, the two walked out of the bushes, and saw a man, carrying a brown sack in one hand and a shovel in the other, walking towards the bushes, the man looked like he was about fifty years old, and the shepherd dog surrounded the man, wagging his tail and running and jumping, very familiar.
The man was startled when he saw two people suddenly coming out of the bushes, and the sack in his hand was also unstable, and with a "poof" sound, he slipped to the ground.
The man stopped in place, looked Nan Zhiqiao and Ye Zhenzhen up and down, and after a while, he seemed to recognize Ye Zhenzhen, and said in surprise: "It's you?!"
Ye Zhenzhen also recognized the man in front of her, that is, the slightly older man who carried the sack in front of the sheepfold in the morning, at this time, when they met again, the man carried another sack, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but think of what she saw in the hemp bag just now, the man in his hand would not be another aborted lamb, right?
Ye Zhenzhen asked, "Is it a miscarriage lamb in your hand?"
The man was stunned for a moment when he was asked, and then an angry expression appeared on his face, and he scolded loudly: "Didn't I tell you in the morning, tourists are not allowed to enter here, what are you still doing here?"
Because of Nan Zhiqiao by her side, Ye Zhenzhen felt a lot bolder, and asked loudly: "What happened to the sheep ranch, why did so many sheep die?"
The man's eyes were a little red, I don't know if it was because of anger or sadness, and his voice was low, "You...... You all saw it?"
Ye Zhenzhen: "Well, we have all seen the sheep corpse pits in the bushes, and there are a large number of sheep corpses that have not been buried, is there an epidemic in the sheep here?"
As soon as the man heard the "epidemic", his face immediately darkened, and he asked: "What epidemic, I don't know, you guys get out of here quickly, otherwise I will forcibly drive people out." ”
Nan Zhiqiao asked, "Who are you?"
The man said contemptuously, "I am the owner of this sheep ranch, and if I want you to leave, you must leave." ”
Nan Zhiqiao was not angry, and said to the rancher in a calm tone: "There is an animal epidemic in your ranch, you should report it to the higher authorities and ask for help from them." ”
When the rancher heard the "animal epidemic", his face turned from gloomy to angry, and he shouted loudly: "What kind of animal epidemic, it's just a few dead sheep here, why do you say that there is an animal epidemic in my sheep pasture, I think you are spreading rumors here and trying to drive away tourists, right? Get out of here, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you." ”
The more the rancher spoke, the more excited he became, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was sweaty, and the shovel in his hand was shaking under the rancher's excitement.
Seeing that the rancher was so excited, Ye Zhenzhen added: "We are also kind, we want to help you solve the epidemic in the pasture, if you avoid medical treatment, when the time comes, the sheep will suffer losses, and it will affect others, and the epidemic in the sheep may be ......."
Without waiting for Ye Zhenzhen to finish speaking, the rancher picked up the shovel in his hand and shouted: "What do you little girl know, this is not an epidemic, I think you are here to sabotage the ranch business, get out of ......"
Looking at the rancher's aggressive actions, Ye Zhenzhen was startled, thinking, how could this rancher be so unreasonable, for his good, but he wanted to beat people, Ye Zhenzhen argued with reason, "We are for your good, you hide the epidemic here, if the epidemic expands, you will have to pay legal responsibility." ”
The rancher pointed at Ye Zhenzhen with a shovel and shouted angrily: "What kind of legal responsibility, you dare to intimidate me, see how I clean you up." ”
The rancher picked up his shovel and ran towards Ye Zhenzhen.
There were about ten paces between the rancher and Vera, but the rancher was limping a little when he ran, and the expression on his face was both angry and painful, and the painful expression on his face became worse with each run, as if he was enduring a sharp pain in his leg.
Nan Zhiqiao pulled Ye Zhenzhen behind him, and shouted to the rancher at the same time: "Stop, we will leave, you calm down." ”
The rancher didn't seem to hear Nan Zhiqiao's words at all, and staggered to Nan Zhiqiao, and when he was still two steps away from Nan Zhiqiao, he picked up the shovel in his hand and smashed it down on the top of Nan Zhiqiao's head.
Nan Zhiqiao pulled Ye Zhenzhen, dodged sideways, dodged the shovel, the shovel missed, and smashed on the ground, Ye Zhenzhen looked sideways, most of the shovel head fell into the soft soil at the bottom of the valley, this force, if it was smashed on the head, the head would be cut off by half, the rancher wanted to kill someone.
