"Ahh Dr. Zhong! Du Mei rubbed his nose.

"Hey, Meizi, what's wrong with you? In a hurry. Zhong Yu turned around and saw Du Mei with a large piece of fire at the corner of his mouth, and said in surprise.

"This ...... That ......" accidentally bumped into Zhong Yu, and Du Mei was overjoyed. But her heart was immediately knotted again, this duck is sick, please ask Dr. Zhong to see, will it be beaten?

In the countryside, when people are sick, they get some herbs to cook and drink until they have to. Doctors, especially those like Zhong Yu, who have good medical skills and fair fees, are very loved by the common people. Please come to your home and treat them as honored guests. How dare Du Mei ask him to treat the ducks.

"Say, why are you spitting." Zhong Yu smiled, this girl is bold and big-hearted, what else is difficult to hide?

"What, Doctor Zhong, what are you doing here?" Du Mei really didn't know how to say it to Zhong Yu, so she had an idea and changed the topic and asked.

"Your grandfather's cough is again, I'll come and see him." Zhong Yu shook the medicine box.

"Grandpa, it doesn't matter." Du Mei asked with concern.

"He's an old problem, and he has to make it every time the season changes, and he doesn't listen to the instructions he is told not to smoke." Zhong Yu shook his head and said.

"Oh. What medicine to take for diarrhea? Du Mei wondered in his heart whether the medicine taken by people could also be given to ducks.

"Who's having diarrhea?" Leng Buding was asked by Du Mei, and Zhong Yu looked nervous.

"No, no one." Du Mei hurriedly covered up.

"What the hell is wrong with you today?" Zhong Yu stared into her eyes.

"I said, don't scold me." Du Mei shrunk his shoulders.

"Okay." Zhong Yu straightened his waist and agreed happily.

"My duck has diarrhea, can there be a cure?" Du Mei avoided a step, afraid of fighting.

"You show me." Zhong Yu pointed to the road ahead.

"Can you really see it?" Du Mei walked ahead and asked back in disbelief.

"It's diarrhea. The duck ate something unclean. Zhong Yu didn't avoid getting dirty, and went into the duck shed to take a look.

"No, I put it on the river beach every day, and I only feed it at night, and it's always been like this." Du Mei shook his head and said.

"It's a bit strange, the weather isn't cold, and you've been letting it go for a long time, so you should have adapted to it, and it shouldn't have been a cold." Zhong Yu looked around.

"But this kind of disease is very fast, these days, whose sick ducks have mixed with yours?" Zhong Yu thought for a moment and asked.

"No, these days, I'm the only one on the river beach to herd ducks." Du Mei also had no clue.

"Well, don't care how you get the disease, let's treat it first. I know of a herb, but it is not in the medical hall, so I will go with you to Shewu Mountain to find it. Zhong Yu was not polite, put the medicine box at Du Mei's house, and entered the mountain with Du Mei, who was carrying a bamboo basket.

Along the way, Zhong Yu patiently taught Du Mei to identify various herbs and told her about the pharmacology of medicinal properties, opening up a whole new world in front of her.

Ordinary herbs on Shewu Mountain are everywhere. The herbs Zhong Yu was looking for were very common, and after a while, they dug a bamboo basket full of them.

There is a wild pomegranate tree in the middle of the mountain, because the skin is thick, the seeds are big and the flesh is less, the children of Dujiagou do not like to eat, after a winter, the pomegranate hangs on the treetops, and it is dried into a crumpled black ball.

When Zhong Yu saw this, he was very happy, took a tree branch, and knocked it down several times in a row.

"Take this back

Boil the peeled skin in water, pour it into the duck, and keep it within three days. Zhong Yu said happily.

When Du Mei heard this, he was afraid that it would not be enough, so he knocked down a lot of ping pong and put it in a bamboo basket to take home.

Xu put an extra handful of japonica rice in the sweet potato porridge, boiled it a little thicker, and added more corn tortillas. There is a hare caught by a black girl at home, and I roast it with pickled wild snow cabbage, and put some dried chili powder on it, which is a delicious meal.

After entering the mountains and returning home, the meal was already on the table. Zhong Yu was not polite, washed his hands, and ate the bowl with it. The sweet potatoes were left out for a winter, and they were as sweet as honey. The Du Mei sisters accompanied the dinner, Xu Shi was not on the table because he avoided suspicion, Zhong Yu glanced at the kitchen, and he didn't seem to be there, probably coaxing Juniper in the house.

After the meal, he began to boil the herbal juice, and then used a small stove to cook another pomegranate peel, and Zhong Yu instructed the Du Mei sisters to pour medicine on the duck. The men in the infirmary, seeing that he had not returned after noon, hurriedly searched for him, and the patients were still waiting in line for him.

Zhong Yu gave Du Mei a small jar of green ointment, asked her to wipe it on the corner of her mouth, and told her to drink more water before leaving with the man.

Du Mei poured herbal juice on each duck, separated the seven or eight seriously ill ones, and poured pomegranate peel water.

The duck is a little unenergetic after this toss. Without figuring out the cause of diarrhea, Du Mei did not dare to rashly release the ducks again, so he kept them all at home and fed them.

Food is already tight, and this is even worse. The aquatic plants didn't dare to give the ducks to eat for the time being, so it was all up to the four sisters to go out to dig wild vegetables and hunt pigweed, which was really hard.

For the past half a month, the sun has been shining brightly, and not a drop of rain has fallen. The fields are dry and dusty, and the wild plants are not easy to dig.

The leaves of rape and wheat are dried and rolled up, and this is the critical period for wheat filling and rapeseed growth, when there is a lack of water, and when it comes to the harvest season, the wheat is deflated, and the rapeseed does not produce oil.

The villagers who are suffering from hunger can see the imminent reduction in grain production, and every household has begun to spontaneously drive water for irrigation. Fortunately, the most important thing in Dujiagou is water, as long as you are willing to work hard, God will never let it down.

Du Zhong has temporarily resigned from his short-term job in Yunshang Embroidery Village and returned to his hometown to help. But the car and water are hard work, and it is really impossible to do it by relying on Du Zhong and Du Shu's father and son alone.

After three days of continuous medicine, the duck really recovered. Du Mei still kept the ducks at home to observe, and added some aquatic plants appropriately. Leaving Du Tao and Du Gui to continue digging wild vegetables, Du Mei and Du Ying rushed to the field to help tread the water wheel, replacing Du Zhong and his son to rest.

Every household took turns to drive water, day and night, and it was dry for the first day, and hundreds of acres of fields in Dujiagou were irrigated in turn. The wheat and rape are all stretched, and the ears of wheat are heavy, already like an old man, bent at the waist, and the rape pods are full and swollen. The faces of the villagers finally showed the hesitation before the harvest.

The duck food fed to the ducks at home has been used to eat people, and the anxious Du Mei carried a shovel to the river beach to see if the ducks could be put on the water.

The water level of Sheshan Lake sank with the irrigation of the car, and the shallows at the mouth of the fish turned into land, and the small fish that did not have time to swim away were dried into dried fish.

Many of the branches that had been hidden under the water were exposed, and two dead ducks hung from the roots of a willow tree, which had been dead for an unknown amount of time, soaked and rotted, and dried in the sun. Many green-headed flies were bitten on it, and as soon as Dumay approached, he buzzed away, and after a while they stinged again.

Unclean food, cold, contagion, these

The reason for the duck's illness has been lingering in Du Mei's heart, lingering. Seeing these two dead ducks at this time, she was extra attentive.

She found the reed poles, drove the flies away, and looked at the dead ducks carefully. The two ducks have small skeletons and have not yet grown large feathers on their wings.

On weekdays, the duck's feathers are waterproof, even if the duck does not swim, it will float on the water, and the river beach is so close to the mountains and forests that it will not wait for the duck to die naturally, and it will enter the belly of the fox and snake.

Du Mei endured the smell and flicked the reed pole, and found that the feet of the two ducks were tied together with a piece of cloth, and there were stones falling. The cloth head has been stained by water, mud, and sunlight in turns, and the original color and pattern can no longer be seen.

Apparently, someone deliberately threw the dead duck in the willow roots. And these two ducks must have died of disease, otherwise, in this green and yellow time, even if the ducks have no meat, it is good to fight tooth sacrifices.

Du Mei looked up, and the root of the willow tree was the main range of her ducks. It seems that this bad man came for her family's preparation.

But too much time has passed, everything is her speculation, and without real evidence, there is really no way to find this insidious villain.

Du Mei used a shovel to dig a deep pit in the mountain forest and bamboo forest, and buried two dead ducks. She searched the dry shallows again, but found no other suspicious signs.

There is too little water in the river beach, and the shallows polluted by dead ducks need to be exposed to the sun for a few more days. Dumei was annoyed, and she turned to the field where three acres of wheat were planted.

She pinched the wheat grains hard, and a puff of white pulp exploded on her hands. It would take more than ten days for the wheat to really ripen, but her ducks couldn't wait.

The duck was infected some time ago and was drugged and confined at home all day, although now although some snails, river mussels, and aquatic plants are patched to supplement the duck food, but it is always not enough, and the little meat that has just grown on the river beach is now thin again.

Du Mei returned home with a worried face, and Xu Shi grabbed her and asked, "Maybe it's on the river beach?" ”

"Now that the water has fallen, the water surface is not wide enough, and if I let it go, I am afraid that it will swim into the lake. We still have to wait for the next rain. Du Mei kept the dead ducks a secret, and her mother was worried about them every day, and she couldn't bear to scare her by telling these unfounded things.

"Hmm. The rain will come soon, and the grain in the barn will not last for a few days. Xu raised his eyes and looked at the sky, the sky was as blue as a wash, and there was no cloud, how could it be raining.

"Mother, don't worry too much, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge!" Du Mei had a vague idea in her heart, and she didn't have to say that far now.

"Meizi, there are more than 300 yuan at home, otherwise, you can go to the town and buy some bran." Xu persuaded.

"Mother, you save us food every day, and you don't have any milk~ Water to feed Komatsu, and the money is kept to buy japonica rice noodles, why can't you starve your brother." Du Mei was thinking about the whole family and thinking about the priorities.

The price of food in the town has skyrocketed by 40%, and although the bran is cheap, it is not hungry. A duck is said to eat half a pound of hard goods a day, and the more than 100 ducks at home need fifty or sixty pounds a day, and more than 300 yuan is really a drop in the bucket.

After another five days, Dumay watched as the barn had only two days to eat. She was ruthless, and found the sickle to grind in the yard with a muffled sound.

"What are you doing here?" Xu Shi heard the sound of sharpening knives and looked at her in disbelief. 2k reading web
