Chapter 0008 Swineherd Asks for Help
Qian Heng's reputation for being able to cure diseases of livestock spread even more widely than the news that he was going to be admitted to Xiucai. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
One is that under the word of mouth of the common people, especially under Aunt Li'er's divine depiction, Qian Heng's methods were simply blown into the sky. After more than ten days of hard work, the chicks fed with millet are already not afraid of the cold and can be spread out into the yard to forage for food on their own.
In fact, what makes Aunt Li most grateful is that because of the appearance of Qian Heng, her family has a beautiful livelihood that is extremely envied by the neighbors, in Dongping Mansion, she works for the Qian family, and she is also responsible for the head of one thing, a position with a slight identity, and a livelihood that can get back a lot of money.
An anxious swineherd came to the door, and when she asked Aunt Li to verify Qian Heng's ability, she was scolded by Aunt Li, "When has Brother Heng ever done something boundless?" My chicken boy was rescued by Brother Heng, if you don't believe it, why do you ask the old lady? ”
It was Aunt Li'er's scolding that made the swineherd firm in her determination to find Qian Heng for help.
Qian Heng, who was reading the scriptures in the study, got a message from the door in the front yard, and knew that trouble was coming again.
In the past few days, Qian Heng has hardly really lived in peace during the day, and from time to time someone comes to visit, wanting to find Qian Heng to verify the news of his participation in the county exam. This time, I heard that there was a swineherd who came to him, Qian Heng was also happy, nodded directly, and followed the door out.
The swineherd's face was yellow, his hair was unkempt, and he looked anxious, and when he saw Qian Heng coming out, he immediately knelt there, "Qian Xiaoguan, you must save Xiaodi!" ”
The swineherd doesn't remember much, but he is more shrewd than anyone else, and he used to be able to call Brother Heng with a smile when he saw him, but now Qian Heng has the identity of a child, and he is preparing to take the Xiucai exam. Since such a toss is to delay Qian Hengwen Book, he naturally feels a little sorry in his heart, and naturally puts his position very low.
Qian Heng didn't care about the swineherd's careful thoughts, he just picked it up, "Little brother, don't worry, don't call me a petty official, I haven't won the exam yet, tell me, what is the matter?" ”
In fact, just looking at the dress of this swineherd, Qian Heng can also guess that something big must have happened, otherwise he would not be in a hurry with a mouth full of blisters.
The swineherd also knew that no matter how anxious things were, he had to explain things clearly, so according to Qian Heng's instructions, he sat down directly in the gatehouse, drank the warm water brought by the door, and drank it dry before saying, "Young Master Qian, Xiaodi's family has made a lowly living, raising more than a dozen fat pigs, but since a few days ago, some little piglets have become wilted, drooling from their mouths and noses, and even showing signs of festering, and a piglet has died yesterday." ”
Hearing the swineherd's statement, Qian Heng frowned. I looked at the dirty fingers of the swineherd again, and I regretted even more in my heart, I really shouldn't have served this guy this bowl of water.
However, it was too late to say anything at this time, and it was necessary to save the emergency, and Qian Heng had basically guessed what the situation was, so he had to go even further.
At that moment, he directly instructed the swineherd, "You go and wait for me outside the door for a while, and I'll clean up and go with you to have a look!" ”
Sent the swineherd out of the door, and then looked back at the door, "You boil some boiling water for a while, and wipe all the places where the swineherd has sat and touched me with hot water, in addition, the bowl he used was buried directly for me, don't let anyone touch it, you have done this, remember to take a hot bath, wash it well with soap dumplings!" ”
Seeing that Qian Heng said something serious, this courtyard worker didn't dare to be careless, and immediately went to get busy according to Qian Heng's instructions.
Qian Heng actually didn't have any preparations, just simply changed into more neat clothes, and followed the swineherd all the way to the pig farm where fattening pigs were raised.
The swineherd's farm is located in an abandoned hut on the outskirts of the city.
The courtyard made of adobe walls can smell the smell of stench from afar in this winter.
Just by this pungent smell, you can guess that the hygiene of this pig farm must be terrible.
When the gate made of the fence was removed, there was a lot of hay piled up in the yard, and a few straw-roofed earthen sheds could be filled with the sound of pigs humming. There is a small house with an adobe wall on the side, which is also the place where the swineherd lives.
Qian Heng didn't dare to let the swineherd let him to his residence, and directly pointed to the place in the pigsty, "Take me to see, which side of the pig has a problem?" ”
The swineherd almost cried, "Young Master Qian, where is it!" ”
Hearing this, Qian Heng was big for a while, and this swineherd didn't know how to isolate at all.
Qian Heng glanced at a dilapidated shed on the side, and saw that there was nothing in it, so he ordered, "You clean up that shed and divide it into two fences, I will use it later!" ”
The swineherd also had a younger man, and when he heard Qian Heng's order, he went to work.
The swineherd took Qian Heng to the edge of the pigsty.
In the gap between the adobe wall and the wooden fence were a row of stone troughs, and in the pigsty were seven or eight fat pigs, three of whom had become very sluggish, and even walked a little sloping, and drooling from their mouths and nostrils, and faintly showed signs of redness and swelling.
It's just that the sludge at the bottom of the pigsty, in addition to smelling, is actually four or five fingers thick, and it submerges all the trotters of the fat pigs in it.
In this winter, it is no wonder that the fat pig stays in such a harsh environment.
This also became more and more certain of Qian Heng's judgment, and nine times out of ten it was the foot-and-mouth disease that he guessed.
Qian Heng called the swineherd, "Go, boil a big pot of hot water, and then mix it with warm water, drive these fat pigs out, brush them clean with a brush, I want to see if there are any other symptoms on these pigs!" ”
Hearing that Qian Heng asked him to bathe the fat pig with warm water, the swineherd was very surprised, but he couldn't disobey Qian Heng's instructions, and immediately went to light a fire to boil water, but there was a cauldron to help the fat pig boil pig food, and it was not difficult to boil water.
The time was not large, the boiling water was boiling, and the swineherd dragged a large wooden basin, and according to Qian Heng's requirements, pulled out these fat pigs one by one and washed them with warm water one by one.
After checking the mouth, nose and trotters of the pigs, if there are no blisters or ulcers, they are directly bombarded into the newly prepared pens, while those fat pigs with symptoms of foot-and-mouth disease are directly thrown aside and waiting for treatment.
Even the big pigs, with the small pigs, and the seven that were screened out, all had obvious symptoms of foot-and-mouth disease. Two of them, the hoof crown and hoof fork of the pig's trotters, have been severely festered, and if this situation is not treated, it is only a matter of time before the hoof shells fall off.
Qian Heng sighed, "Let's go and clean up the sludge in this pigsty, re-pave it with plant ash, and I'll deal with these sick pigs!" ”
When Qian Heng said this, he suddenly asked, "Where is the sick and dead piglet you said?" ”
Qian Heng's words made the swineherd's face show a trace of embarrassment.
