4. Adaptation to water and soil
After being touched by Fu Jun, Alina shook her head slowly, as if enjoying the touch, and then snorted, and there was another hiss.
"Are you sick? I just felt sick and wanted to do something else to make myself feel better. ”
This is Alina's reply, but it makes Fu Jun a little puzzled, what is wrong with Alina's body, to do this kind of self-harming thing?
Fu Jun continued to touch Alina's head and said, "How hard is your body? I've never seen a horse choose to self-harm because of physical discomfort. ”
"Huh? Can you hear me? I told Yaoyao so many times, and she didn't understand. Alina snorted and wondered.
"Barely possible!" Fu Jun shrugged his shoulders and said.
"But...... I don't want to tell you! Alina hissed again, like a noble girl, and said arrogantly.
"Don't tell me?" Fu Jun raised his eyebrows and said.
"Uh-huh!"
"Then don't blame me for touching your horse's head!"
After saying that, Fu Jun tossed Alina's head back and forth with both hands, messing up the smooth hair on the brush on her head.
Horses love smooth hair, not only because it makes them look better, but also because it makes them more comfortable.
Because the thick mane is often mixed with a lot of dust, soil, mosquitoes, etc., which can easily cause horses to contract various skin diseases, so they are used to being carefully cared for, and the horses who brush their hair clean and smooth every day will feel very uncomfortable if their hair is messed up.
Alina is like this, Fu Jun messes up its hair, it is a little restless, obviously very uncomfortable, not to mention that its mood after returning to China is not right, it is even more uncomfortable.
At that moment, in order to feel better, Alina begged Fu Jun for mercy.
Hearing only a mournful cry, Alina said, "Please! Stop touching my hair! As long as you don't mess with my hair anymore, I'll tell you. ”
Fu Jun stopped his prank with a smile and said, "Tell me honestly, otherwise I will continue to touch your horse's head." ”
"Okay! This has to start from last week, when Yaoyao and I just came here from the UK, I felt uncomfortable, I didn't eat well, I couldn't sleep well, I wanted to find something, seek a little stimulation, and walk on the cement road, grinding the soles of my feet to the pain, so comfortable! ”
“……”
Fu Jun was speechless after hearing this, and secretly said that this horse definitely has a psychological problem, and he is uncomfortable like looking for abuse, and he must be a masochist.
Isn't it the same as people walking on the acupressure board, making the feet suffer?
Normal people who are willing to walk the fingerboard, there is a group of men and women who run blindly every day, and they will walk the fingerboard.
Of course, as a sports horse veterinarian, Fu Jun knows that there must be a reason why Alina is looking for abuse.
Thinking that Alina had this symptom since she returned from England, Fu Jun was very suspicious that it was seriously unadaptable.
"You're amazing! You can even touch Alina! Not long after, beside Fu Jun, the girl shouted in surprise.
"Lina has always been arrogant, hasn't she?" Fu Jun replied.
"Hmmm! When it was in the UK before, it was not touched by the average person at all. The girl nodded earnestly.
"It's normal! In my opinion, Alina must have won a lot of honors before, and she is one of the few good horses among mares, and she has some temper. Fu Jun replied.
"So, you were able to touch Alina just now, but it scared me a lot, for fear that Alina would attack you." As the girl spoke, she was still patting her heart, and it was clear that Alina had done terrible things to strangers,
Just now, when the girl was talking to Alina when Fu Jun touched Alina's horse's head, she was worried that Alina would not cooperate.
After all, as Alina's horse owner, she knows very well how unruly her horse is, and her temper is very terrible, and when she was in England, there were many outstanding horse doctors who couldn't do anything with Alina.
As for the way Fu Jun talked to Alina just now, she was not surprised, she had seen many horses heal horses, and they would use words to guide, but observe the horse's behavior and determine the cause.
So she wasn't surprised that Fu Jun could talk to horses, anyway, she knew in her heart that this was just a way for horse doctors and horses to establish contact.
It's just that the horse doctor can't understand horse language, but Fu Jun can understand it, but she doesn't know this, and this is why Fu Jun is not afraid of her being by her side when he talks to Alina.
After all, I saw it, and she only thought it was a treatment at most, which is also the routine of many horse doctors who deliberately talk to horses to find the cause of horses, otherwise how can the outside world call them "horse whisperers"?
As for whether these horse whisperers really understand the meaning of horses, only they know in their own hearts.
Looking at Alina's appearance, combined with what she said, Fu Jun thought of a possibility that is common to horses.
"You said Alina just came from England, so how did she get it?" Fu Jun asked.
"Airlift!"
"No wonder!"
"What's wrong? What's the wonder? The girl asked, blinking wide-eyed.
"It's nothing, I mean Alina's illness is normal, you can take her around the club's grass when you go back, and the rest of the time, let her stay in the stable by herself, and it will be fine after a while, but you also need to take good care of her to prevent her from getting other diseases." Fu Jun replied.
"Is it true? Just take Alina around the grass, okay? The girl replied.
"Hmmm! Just go back and try it. Fu Jun nodded.
"Liar! When I go back, if Alina is not well, then how can I find you? ”
"Why are you looking for me? Am I not its full-time equine doctor? And how did I become a liar again, Alina's illness, you ask its horse doctor directly, and you should understand how to take care of Alina after returning home. ”
"I can't find it, since the metal slug lost the game because of the slope, the original horse care staff in the club have been laid off, and the club has been busy recruiting new horse care staff these days, and there is no horse doctor to follow and take care of Alina, only the horse workers regularly feed them and wash their bodies." The girl replied.
"So that's the case, no wonder Alina has such a simple illness, and no one treats such a big club as Wenhuai Lake." Fu Jun said.
In his heart, Fu Jun also understood why the Wenhuai Lake Club, which originally had no new recruitment plan, suddenly issued a recruitment announcement to recruit horse nurses, but it turned out to be a sudden layoff.
Originally, this time, Fu Jun had no chance to come to Wenhuai Lake, if he hadn't seen that announcement on the Internet, he would have to go to a newly opened equestrian club to make a living like those classmates, after all, the allocation of personnel of these old equestrian clubs are carefully selected, and there is generally no special opportunity, so it is difficult to get in.
I don't know if this Wenhuai Lake layoff is related to the artificial injury of the leg of the metal slug, Fu Jun thought in his heart.
Thinking about the job search, Fu Jun didn't want to delay more time on Alina, so he said to the girl briefly: "Alina actually has no problem, it's just a serious adaptation to the soil and water, let her rest more, walk more on our Chinese grassland, and she will be able to adapt soon." ”
"Not adapted?" The girl blinked, for some reason, and seemed to be a little unconvinced.
"Hmmm! Recently, there has been a lot of difference in weather and temperature between the UK and China, and you have brought Alina by air, and it is difficult to get used to it for a while, just like people who go abroad and have to get used to the environment by jet lag, it also takes time to get used to it. Fu Jun replied.
"Then Alina will be fine soon, right?"
"Not necessarily, horses are the same as people, they have different physiques, different abilities to adapt to the environment, and there are long and short times. Moreover, the forage used to feed horses in China is also different from that in the UK, and normal people may need to adapt to changes in food, clothing, housing and transportation for a long time, let alone horses, so Alina has had a lot of abnormal reactions recently, which is normal, because it is looking for a stimulus to make it happy, such as walking on a cement road. ”
"What? Walking on the concrete road, Alina is happy? ”
"Hmm!"
"I don't believe it!"
"You don't believe you can ask your horse yourself! I don't have much time, and I still have things, so I'll go first. After Fu Jun finished speaking, he said goodbye and left quickly.
The girl still wanted to pull Fu Jun, but turned her head and Fu Jun ran away.
"Alina? Are you really uncomfortable? If it weren't for the fact that the club's caregivers were gone, I'd definitely have to ask them, but are you really happy walking on the concrete road? Watching the strange boy leave far away, the girl hugged Alina's horse's head and whispered.
She was answered by Alina's hissing of excitement.
The meaning of this hiss, based on the girl's years of experience in getting along, seems to agree with her words.
Seeing Alina like this, the girl was a little stunned and muttered: Is it really just unadaptable?
