Feng Hua watched the battle in the distance as Su De explained the knowledge of the horses to herd.

The battle was over, ending in the defeat of one horse. The victor chased a long way before returning, and made a triumphant round of his own herd, and the grass was gone.

No wonder you have to feed grass at night......

Suddenly, a herd of horses in the distance became agitated, and the whole herd walked restlessly in place, and the head horse snorted frequently.

Sud glanced at it, and his expression changed drastically, beckoning a few of the sleeping herdsmen and running towards the herd. After running two steps, he remembered something and suddenly turned around and said, "You stay here and don't go over." ”

"What's wrong?" Feng Hua asked.

"There's mares in that pack that are going to give birth, and now they're all grumpy, so don't go there."

"Oh." Feng Hua agreed, and stood honestly in place. Su De looked at her for a long time, and made sure that she was really obedient before leaving with confidence.

It's really a rare worry-free child, Han children are obedient~ Unlike the bear children in their village, this sentence must be the same as not saying it, and they have to come over when they turn their heads.

It's not speculation, it's fact-proven.....

The horses continued to be restless, and the surrounding herds consciously distanced themselves from them as if they were sensible. A few herders did not go deep into the herd, but just watched from afar.

Don't dare to go over, the past was just a series of kicks, or a group kick.

Horse production is a time-consuming matter, Feng Hua got bored after watching it for a while, and looked at the other horses again. Then I noticed that there were many foals in each group, and many of the mares had big bellies, and it seemed that they were about to give birth.

"No wonder there is fresh mare's milk in the morning." Feng Hua said suddenly.

Two hours later, the mare gave birth to a foal, which lay on the ground, unable to stand up.

Feng Hua found that several herders were staring nervously at the head pony, and paid less attention to the mares they produced. Several herdsmen even had the audacity to rush into the herd, vaguely separating the head horse from the foal.

Odd......

Sud watched for a moment and returned to the hillside, where the other herders continued to stay.

Feng Hua hurriedly asked her doubts.

Sude shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "The head horse has a habit of biting the foal to death, so we have to be careful." ”

"Huh? Why? ”

"Maybe it's not confident, right? Or it doesn't manage its mare well, and some mare are always out of the group, and it suspects that the child is not its. ”

Feng Hua: "......"

"It will take a while, and when the foal grows up and the mare recovers a little, then the mare of the whole herd will protect the foal, and the head horse will have no chance to start."

Feng Hua: "......" is a cruel animal world, not only to guard against natural enemies, but also against fathers.

Two hours later, the foal stood up and walked tremblingly.

And a mare from another herd also gave birth to a foal.

Feng Hua asked Su De to know that the pregnancy period of horses was 11 months, and spring was not only the season of estrus, but also the season of giving birth.

Sude was also busy, and there were not enough people, so he had to watch too. Before leaving, Su De took out a small bag from his arms and handed it to Feng Hua. A few pieces of jerky and a few pieces of cheese, and it was her lunch at noon today.

Feng Hua thanked him, and after a while, he found that the herdsmen had also begun to eat lunch, but the "amount of food" was only half or even less of his own hand.

Even Sude, the total amount of jerky and cheese taken out did not exceed 5.

Feng Hua suddenly felt that the things in his hand were a little heavy.

Before dark, the herders drove their horses home. The horses' vision is very poor, which causes them to be easily frightened at night, and it is a bad thing to blow up the herd, and seven or eight hundred horses can run away at once, and become wild horses from then on......

When he arrived at the horse pen, Sude pointed to a barn made of earth and thatch, and said, "It should be full of good hay now, and it should be all fed in the evening." ”

Feng Hua looked at the dozen sheds, and was a little shocked, it is really not easy to raise horses, this is only for feeding pregnant mares and stallions, if you feed them all...... That's not possible now, there isn't that much labor.

Feng Hua looked at the several people who were curling grass outside the shed, all in groups of two, one to refill the grass in the guillotine, and the other to mechanically and quickly burrow the grass, Su De said that two people can work for a day to fill a shed.

Because the forage should be very small, "three knives per inch of grass, and no material is fat".

And tonight, it was Sud's turn to feed the horses. Su De repeatedly apologized to Feng Hua before leaving,...... Apologize in advance for Qinggeltai.

Sure enough, without Su De's obstruction, Feng Hua took a few kicks at night. In order to prevent Qing Ge Tai from turning over from her, Feng Hua didn't sleep much this night.

Fortunately, she is now physically strong, even if she doesn't sleep all night, she can't see the slightest haggard the next day, and she is still in good spirits.

Suder thought she was well rested and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shall we go herd sheep today?" Looking at Feng Hua, Su De took the initiative.

"Okay." As long as it's not a donkey, you can put anything......

And when he arrived at the place where the sheep were grazing, Feng Hua found that almost all the people in the village came.

Adults and children go into battle together, shearing sheep.

Mid to late May is the day to start shearing sheep, spring, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and if you don't shear the thick wool, the sheep will get sick.

And wool is also a task, but also money.

Feng Hua joined the sheep shearing team, but withdrew after a while.

Now there are no electric faders, not even faders, and sheep shearing is done by shears. She couldn't hold the big scissors with one hand, she had to hold them with two hands. Then she needed someone to help her press the sheep, plus she was a novice, and the wool was sheared unevenly.

Seeing the reluctant smile of the herdsman who helped her press the sheep, Feng Hua quickly gave way.

"You go comb the cashmere." Sude smiled and said, "I'll teach you." ”

The savannah is the largest cashmere producing area in the country, and their village also raises a lot of goats.

Combing cashmere is much simpler, just take an iron brush and brush it. Of course, there is also technical content, but it is Su De who is partnering with her, and Su De will not take a white eye on her if she doesn't do well, so Feng Hua will play with confidence~

The sheared wool and cashmere were packed in baskets made of branches, dumped onto a covered cart, and hauled back to the village, where they were transported repeatedly.

Su De's expression was a little colder than the previous two days, although it was not obvious, but Feng Hua still sensitively noticed the difference in the atmosphere.

"What's wrong? Not happy? Feng Hua asked.

Su De was stunned for a moment, and looked up at her, this kid is sensitive enough, he believes that he hides it well, even he can't see anything from his face now.

"It's fine." After being stunned for a while, Su De still said: "This year's wool harvest is good, but it can't be sold at a good price. ”

Feng Hua already knew about this, and Alatan Cang had already explained it to her after the first gathering.
