240 Newborn foal
Because she was too nervous, Carmen's palm that pinched Lu Li was constantly contracting, and the small body burst out with incredible energy, and the muscles all over her body tensed, and even Ambo, who was standing next to her, involuntarily approached Lu Li, trying to find some security.

Lu Li looked at Brandon intently, holding his breath without even noticing.
Chloe handed the stethoscope to Brandon, who listened carefully for a while, casually hung the stethoscope around his neck, and nodded, "His heartbeat is normal, suspended animation." β
Chloe stepped forward skillfully, putting on sterilized gloves on both hands, and at the same time, Brandon ran the blood from the umbilical cord several times towards the colt's navel, passed the cord blood, and then made a mark with his finger at a distance of three or four centimeters from the foal's abdomen.
Brandon then handed the scissors back to Chloe, then grabbed the foal's hind limbs and lifted them high to keep the foal in the air.
The dull beating sound spread in the air, and Lu Li's heart couldn't help but rise upwards and stuck in his throat, the tension was almost impossible to get rid of, and he even forgot to breathe, just watching Chloe beat intently.
The tedious repetition seemed to have no end in sight, and there was no sign of the foal's return to normal, which was frustrating, and a faint sadness was a little overwhelming.
Amber covered his mouth, his eyes were slightly red, but he didn't hold back after all, and grabbed Lu Li's sleeve, and the little Carmen simply hid in Lu Li's chest, secretly turned his head, and peeked at everything that happened there with the rest of his eyes.
"Alright, Brandon. Chloe snapped and took two steps back, and Brandon laid the foal flat on the ground.
Looking at the foal that still didn't move, it seemed that there was no sign of life at all, Ambo and Carmen couldn't bear to continue looking, and even Lu Li really felt that bloody cruelty.
However, Brandon and Chloe did not give up, and Brandon laid the foal to lie down, and then Brandon pressed the sides of his chest rhythmically with both hands, as if he were taking care of his own child.
"Chloe?" cried Robert, but Chloe was still preparing the colostrum on the other side, for the mare was too weak to look like colostrum. So, Chloe prepared the nanny horse, which was milking at this time.
"Is there anything I can help with?" Lu Li took a small half step forward, ready to participate, Carmen was still holding Lu Li's thighs tightly, Lu Li patted Carmen's back and looked into Carmen's eyes, "She needs my help, and your help, is it okay?"
Carmen bit her lower lip, nodded, and let go of her hands, then Lu Li looked at Ambo and said seriously, "She needs our help." β
Ambo's eyes burst into a resolute light, and he nodded vigorously in affirmation. Then he walked up to Carmen's side, took Carmen's little hand, and the two of them stood side by side.
Lu Li walked forward quickly, picked up the disinfectant gloves next to him at the same time, put them on skillfully, and then walked behind Robert, knelt on one knee, and prepared his posture.
At this time, there was no time to explain, Robert turned his head directly, "I need you to hold the bottle next to you, there is warm water in it, come forward and feed her, she is a little out of strength now, she needs to recover." β
Lu Li nodded, no nonsense, walked directly to the side, picked up the giant bottle, came to the mare's head, knelt on the ground, and put the pacifier up. Sure enough, the mare directly opened her mouth to bite and began to suck, and the turbid and hot breath sprayed on the back of Lu Li's hand, but she was weak and weak, and she seemed to be able to clearly feel the loss of energy in her body.
At the same time, Robert began to raise the mare's hindquarters and adjust slightly, and the movement made it look like the second foal was a little out of position, large drops of sweat sliding down his forehead, and the sultry air was almost breathless.
Lu Li's heartbeat couldn't help but start to speed up, the sense of realism that was close at hand made life and death extremely heavy, he raised the bottle slightly, and in the blink of an eye, the mare finished sucking the warm water in the entire bottle. However, her eyes still looked cloudy and tired, which seemed to have no effect.
Lu Li turned his head to look at Robert, but Robert shook his head, "Give her a little time." β
Lu Li suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, many times, many things, even if they tried their best, the help they could provide was limited.
Time was slowly passing, and Lu Li's eyes wandered between the foal next to him and the mare in front of him, and he couldn't help but bend down and whisper, "Please, your child needs you, both children are like this; β
Lu Li knew that this was stupid and ridiculous, and he was treating the mare in front of him the same way he treated humans. But in fact, humans are also a type of animal, aren't they?
Lu Li cautiously stretched out his hand and stroked the mare's mane, his palm could feel her muscles that were not strong, the faint temperature jumped above his fingertips, and the faint vitality was regathering.
"Okay! she's recovered!" Robert wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, looked at Lu Li, and showed a big smile, "Never ignore your mother's strength." This made Lu Li tug at the corners of his mouth slightly, but the nervousness was still not completely relaxed - because the second foal had not yet been produced.
As he spoke, Lu Li's palm could feel the mare's muscles tense again, and the gathered power erupted like a volcano, and the vigorous vitality made Lu Li feel it clearly, and he couldn't help but rejoice.
Forelimbs, head, torso, hind limbs...... The second foal was finally born.
Lu Li held his breath and looked at the foal intently, and the figure of the first foal could be seen in the distance, Brandon and Chloe were still busy.
At that moment, the second foal opened his eyes, the thick slime obscuring his vision, but, when heβor she finally opened his eyes, Robert expertly wiped the mucus from the foal's head, and whispered, "You are more competitive than your brother." β
After wiping off the mucus, the foal looked left and right, then opened his mouth and ripped off the umbilical cord, and the crisp and neat movement made Lu Li's eyes widen. It turned out that the umbilical cord was to be torn by the foal itself, and the first foal just now was obviously a special case.
Robert then quickly disinfected the wound with iodine tincture on the umbilical cord, then picked up the foal and motioned for Lu Li to get out of the way, placing the foal in front of the mare.
Looking at the mare in front of her, she seemed to have consumed the last bit of strength, which made Lu Li almost think that her vitality was about to be completely cut off, but when she saw the foal, the mare still opened her eyes again, gently arched the foal with her head, and then stretched out her tongue to lick the mucus off the foal little by little.
"This improves blood circulation and also helps the mare to find a mate. Robert explained briefly, then looked back at another foal not far behind him, "He has to hurry up too." β
Before Robert's words fell, Carmen's exuberant voice rang out, "He's awake, he's awake!" But after only two words, she firmly covered her mouth, lest her voice alarm the mother and son in front of her, but the irrepressible excitement made her jump in place.
Lu Li raised his head and looked over, and then saw the foal raise his head, as if looking at this new world, his half-closed eyes were still very weak, but there was no doubt that he was looking up, he was indeed looking up.
The vigor after crossing the line of death flowed out majestically, the joy and happiness of new life, the tribulations and ups and downs of setbacks, like stormy waves, surging forward, and suddenly, Lu Li felt a warm burst in his eyes, which he himself did not expect.
In a panic, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, only to find that his fingertips were trembling slightly, and the surging emotions were surging in his chest, and he couldn't express it in words. But happiness overflowed like this, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
Through the hazy vision, Lu Li saw An Bo, An Bo was also in tears at this time, wiping his tears in embarrassment, the eyes of the two people touched together, and then they both laughed, and the happy smile extended from the corners of his mouth to the bottom of his eyes, radiating a bright light.
Brandon picked up the foal, "You can give my mom a seat here?" The bland words had a sense of humor at this moment, and everyone couldn't help but chuckle.
Lu Li and Robert both stepped back to make way for the foal, and Brandon carefully lowered the foal between the mare and the other foal.
The mare sniffed the new fellow in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and finally stuck out her tongue and licked him, tired, weak, and weak, but gentle, focused, and deep.
Everyone did not speak, but watched quietly, watching the mare lick the slime off the two foals little by little, watching the mare take care of the two foals little by little, the two lads raised their heads, opened their misty eyes, searched around, and tried to find food under the mares' belly.
"Oh, the baby is hungry. Carmen's childish voice broke the silence, and a smile appeared on everyone's lips, they all knew that the mare would survive, and so would the child, at least for now.
Chloe raised the bottle in her hand, "Well, we'd better feed them quickly, or it's going to be bad, right?
"I, I!" Carmen raised her right hand in the air, and even stood on her tiptoes in anticipation for fear that others would not see her.
