The three of them drove two cars straight to Luoniu Town, Li Yifan drove the second-hand Hyundai that Lei Liangfa got him, and the eldest brother and Lei Liangfa drove a Prado that Lei Liangfa had just gotten recently.

The journey of more than 100 kilometers took an hour and a half to arrive, not for anything else, but because of the national highway to Luoniu Town, the road conditions are too bad.

The cattle farm that Li Liqiang managed is just south of Luoniu Town, with a hill on the back and a large area of saline-alkali land in front, but the mountain is back and the sea, and the overall environment looks pretty good.

Last time, Li Liqiang and Yang Yuhe mentioned that they wanted to build a cattle farm in Luoniu Town, Yang Yuhe was very happy after hearing it, so he said to his secretary, and the secretary Xiao Zhang helped contact the mayor of Luoniu Town.

The place is in a saline-alkali land in the south of Luoniu Town, with an area of about 1,000 acres.

Li Yifan had never been here before, but the eldest brother had accompanied his father once, so he knew how to walk, followed the eldest brother and their Prado, and soon arrived at the farm.

Because it is a newly completed farm, so I haven't taken care of it much, according to my father's idea, it is to build a big yard here, and then build a few cowsheds, and raise the cattle in the cowshed.

After all, this is not a foreign country, or a steppe like Mengjiang Province, there are enough places. These cows can be allowed to hang out outside.

And the other point is also because. This Luoniu town is notoriously insecure. Especially after the recent rise of the breeding industry here, there are more thieves here, stealing chickens and dogs is not counted, it is the cattle of the big guys, and people dare to steal the same.

So according to my father's idea, that is, I want to put a fence around my farm, and then build a few simple cowsheds inside. Keep the cattle in the barn.

However, because some time ago, he had a lot of things, so he didn't come here often, and the wall of this farm had not yet had time to be built, but there were a few temporary cowsheds with color steel tile roofs.

The workers in the cattle farm are all hired locally, and several time-honored cattle farmers are all old men who have raised cattle before. Now that I can't do farm work, I come here to help raise cattle.

The gate of the farm has not been repaired. Only halfway through the construction, there are several temporary footholds built of colored steel on the side of the gate, which are the temporary residences of these cattle workers.

Li Yifan and his entourage, as soon as they stopped the car, an old man rushed out of the color steel tile house, still holding a stick in his hand, and a big black dog beside him.

"What are you doing? This is a private place, casual parking is not allowed, if it's okay, hurry up and let me go. ”

The old man's attitude was very bad, carrying a stick and looking menacing, and the big black dog beside him also looked unkind, grinning at a few people.

"Huh? Uncle Liu, it's me, Xiao Li. ”

Li Yiqiang had accompanied his father before, so he knew this old man, who was Lao Liutou, one of the cattle workers his father recruited here.

"Oh, it's Xiao Li, look at my eyes, I didn't see it, I'm sorry."

Uncle Liu took a closer look, and it turned out that the person who came was the boss's eldest son, and he had seen it once, so he immediately put down the stick in his hand, and his attitude improved, and even the expression of the big black dog beside him eased down.

"Uncle Liu, this is my younger brother, Li Yifan, this is my friend, we heard that something happened to the cattle farm? Just come and have a look. ”

Li Yiqiang walked over, handed the old man a cigarette, and then put the remaining half of the pack of cigarettes into the old man's arms, and said to the old man with a smile.

"Ah, yes, I thought it was ......"

The old man felt that he was talking a little too much, and then quickly lit the cigarette and stopped talking, but Li Yifan was very keen to catch the old man for a moment, his expression was unnatural, he felt that this time the matter might not be so simple.

"By the way, Uncle Liu, where is our cow?"

Li Yifan glanced around a few times, but he didn't see his own cow at all, so he asked Uncle Liu to arrive.

"Oh! It's all in the cowshed over there, so I'll take you there. ”

After speaking, Lao Liu Tou strode in front of the meteor to lead the way, and several people followed behind Lao Liu Tou and walked to the cowshed with the roof of several colored steel tile sheds not far away.

Before I got closer, I smelled a stench, indeed the cattle are all in captivity, so this cow dung is a problem, and there is not like foreign countries, there are automatic manure cleaning machines in the barn, so the sanitary environment can be said to be very bad.

Although several windows are open for ventilation, but the smell here is still not very good, and there are a lot of flies, Li Yifan They walked into the cowshed and glanced a few times, most of the cattle inside were listless standing in the cowshed, because they had just built a haode cowshed, and the facilities inside were not perfect, so they were not even smashed, dozens of cows, just scattered in the cowshed.

"There is also a cowshed over there, and there are more than forty cows in it, a hundred and twenty in all, but three died yesterday."

Lao Liu Tou took them around the cowshed, and when he came out, he pointed to another cowshed and said.

"Oh? How did he die? ”

Li Yifan asked, and at this moment he could see that this old Liu Tou's expression was a little unnatural.

"This ...... I don't know...... Maybe it's from Mengjiang Province, it's not adaptable......"

Looking at the old man's dodgy eyes, Li Yifan was almost certain that there must be something in it, but if he asked now, he might not be able to ask anything, so he had to wait for a closer investigation in the future.

"By the way, the other Lao Luo, and Lao Zhang."

The eldest brother also felt a little wrong, raised his eyebrows and asked Lao Liu Tou, I remember that my father said that he had hired a total of three old men to watch the cattle farm, one was this old Liu Tou, and two old men, one surnamed Luo and one surnamed Zhang, all of whom were famous cattle breeders in the village before, why is there only one old Liu Tou left now.

"The two of them, there is something at home today, go back to deal with things, I guess I can come back in the evening."

Old Liu Tou replied casually.

"What about the dead cow? Let me see. ”

Li Yifan said again, and Lao Liu's expression suddenly became a little panicked.

"Those two cows, in the morning, pulled away, after all, it is a dead cow, Xiao Li, you also know, this cattle, the most afraid is this kind of thing, in case it is infected to other cows, then the loss will be great, so in the morning I will let the people from the health and epidemic prevention department pull it away to do harmless treatment."

Li Yifan looked at the expression of the old Liu Tou, and his heart sank, this old Liu Tou had a problem, but he didn't show it, but gave the eldest brother a look, and then the eldest brother said.

"Oh, well, well, we are in town, and a friend is going to visit, so let's go over first, and come over in the afternoon, and then bring in the veterinarian, and check our cattle, and don't get into any more infectious diseases."

"That's good, that's good, you guys go and get busy with you, I'm watching here, it's okay."

Lao Liu nodded hurriedly and said, the three of them didn't say much, they went back to the parking place and got into the car, and drove directly to Luoniu Town.

The area of Luoniu Town is not large, a total of more than 100,000 people, and there are two horizontal and two vertical four main streets in the town, which is the core area of Luoniu Town.

And the eldest brother's comrade-in-arms Guo Siming's family is obviously not in the center of the town, but in the suburbs of the northeast corner of Luoniu Town, and beyond there is a large area of cropland.

A typical northern rural courtyard, the courtyard walls are all mud walls, in front of a wooden fence gate, into the fence gate is an area of more than one acre of vegetable garden, which grows all kinds of vegetables eaten at home, eggplant, tomatoes, peppers, green onions, beans, cucumbers and so on.

Further inside, there is a hand-pressed well, and then behind it is the house.

The house is a three-room red brick house, although it is not the kind of mud house, but compared with the few large tiled houses on the side, it looks relatively depressed, obviously the eldest brother's comrade-in-arms is not rich.

As soon as a few people arrived at the door of the house, the door was pushed open, and out came an old woman with gray hair.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Auntie, we are Guo Siming's comrades-in-arms, I heard that he came back from the south, and it happened that we came to see him."

"Huh? It's Siming's comrade-in-arms, Siming, Siming, come out, your comrade-in-arms has come to see you. ”

As soon as the aunt heard that it was Guo Siming's comrade-in-arms, she immediately turned her head and shouted twice into the room, and after a while, a young man of medium stature and messy hair came out of the room, and when he saw the eldest brother and Lei Liangfa standing in front of him, he couldn't help but shout happily.

"Lao Li, squad leader? Why are you here? ”

"Of course I came to see you, you kid, it's really not interesting, and you won't tell me when you come back."

The eldest brother walked over, lightly punched Guo Siming on the shoulder, and then said.

"You also said that you couldn't get through when you called your phone."

The three of them entered the house with a smile and a smile, and the aunt saw that the person was really her son's comrade-in-arms, and immediately went to prepare a meal.

Seeing that the aunt was going to prepare a meal, Li Yifan quickly took out a lot of things from the car, all of which were things they bought when they came, including fruits, cooked food, and a lot of gifts specially prepared for the elderly, and handed them to the aunt.

The aunt said that it was precious and couldn't stand it, until Guo Siming came out and said a few words to her mother, and the old man accepted these gifts. (To be continued.) )
