Chapter Fifty-Seven: A Dead Horse as a Live Horse Doctor!
This reminded the old man, and he hurriedly said, "When you get to the city gate in a while, you go in and buy two boxes of snacks for Zhuzhu, and remember to buy another jar of spirits, six or seven heads of garlic." ”
Tai Jiye still had to nag, and he was slapped on the back by his father.
In Taijia Village, the villagers are idle, going to the fields, chopping firewood, and looking forward to the sprouts of wild vegetables on the mountain like Liu Dongniang.
Between coming and going, everyone looked at the children of the Tai family guarding the entrance of the village, and they would smile and ask a few words.
"Yong'an, what are you doing here?"
"Yes, your neck is so long, what are you looking forward to?"
I have to say that the children follow Yang Lihua to learn the rules on weekdays, and there are some results.
Whether the villagers believed it or not, the brothers were all smiling and grinning.
"Let's come out and breathe."
"yes, sunbathe."
is the beads that are sandwiched in the middle by the brothers, all of them have little heads, and their faces are full of small milk fat and trembling.
The villagers couldn't help but be envious, the sixth uncle's family had a better life.
It's only been a long time, and several boys have taken off their yellow and thin appearances, and they look much cleaner and healthier.
As for Zhuzhu's baby bump, not to mention, it is becoming more and more chubby and cute.
It wasn't until the sun set on the west hill that a horse-drawn cart appeared on the dirt road north of the village.
Tai Yongan was tall, and he looked like a member of the family, so he immediately ran over with his sister on his shoulder.
Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue slowed down for a moment, and they followed closely behind, and they didn't care about picking up their shoes when they ran away.
Old man Tai was also happy to see his grandson come to pick him up, but when he saw that his little granddaughter was like an ear of wheat in the wind, staggering, he could fall off the eldest grandson's shoulder at any time, so he was so frightened that he quickly jumped out of the car and took over his granddaughter.
Tai Yongan saw that his sister's pigtails were scattered, and he knew that he was almost in trouble, so he slipped into the other side of the cart and shouted, "Dad, is this the horse our family bought, why is it half dead?" ”
Tai Jizu glared at his son and scolded in a low voice, "How old are you, so Mao Mao is stunned, go home and settle accounts with you." ”
Tai Yongan scratched the back of his head and smirked.
However, Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue saw the dog cub lying next to the black horse at a glance, and immediately jumped up excitedly.
"Puppy, puppy!"
"Did Grandpa buy it for us?"
The old man hugged his granddaughter and was relieved, and told the driver, "Walk a few more steps to the entrance of the village." ”
The driver flicked the whip, and after a while, he arrived at the door of Tai's house.
It is rare for a carriage to come to the village, and the villagers have seen it from afar, and they all come forward to join in the fun.
The naughty boys were attracted by the little black dog, and they all begged Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue to hug.
In the past few years, every household has not had enough to eat, so how can there be surplus food to raise dogs.
Suddenly I saw a little puppy, and the naughty boys were simply overjoyed.
Tai Yonglu held the dog cub high and shouted, "No, this is my sister's!" My sister hasn't hugged me yet! ”
Tai Yongyue also looked for his sister everywhere, but Zhuzhu was sent back to the house by the old man, along with two boxes of snacks carefully selected by Tai Jiye.
The people of the village ignored the noisy boys, helped to carry the black horse down, and when they had to send the cart away, everyone couldn't help it.
"This ...... This horse seems to be very sick, huh? ”
"Yes, where did Uncle Sixth pick it up? Look, it's not going to happen! ”
"It's a pity, it's a pity! This big skeleton, if you don't get sick, must be a good helper for work. ”
Tai Sanye also came from home at this time, and circled around the black horse twice, only clicking the cigarette bag pot in distress.
Old man Tai came out with a pottery bowl from the courtyard, and was directly pulled by the old brother's wrist, "Sixth, don't tell me, you bought this horse!" It's a loss! ”
Old Man Tai hurriedly waved his hand, "Third brother, wait a minute." I'll give the dark horse medicine first, and we'll talk about it later. ”
With that, he beckoned the villagers to help him break the horse's mouth and pour garlic juice into it.
The dark horse Xu is a little spiritual, and he guessed that the old man was saving it, but he didn't struggle much.
The villagers felt that the dark horse must be finished, and they had no strength to move.
Tai Sanye took the empty pottery bowl, sniffed the pungent smell, and asked, "Is this a medicine prescribed by a veterinarian?" Does it work? ”
The old man laughed and responded, "Isn't there a saying that a dead horse is a live horse doctor, and I am here now!" Whatever it is, try it first. ”
Tai Sanye slapped the old brother angrily and complained, "You have been a bastard since you were a child, and you are still so unreliable when you are old." ”
Old Man Tai didn't take it seriously, and while everyone was there, he directly grabbed more than a dozen helpers to clean up the corner of the yard, and temporarily built a grass shed to shelter the black horse from the wind and snow.
The black horse lay motionless, except for a slight tremor in the stomach, which showed that it was still alive, and the rest of the horse was no different from a dead horse.
Tai Jizu took a sickle, ran to cut hay outside the village, and chopped it into small pieces with a kitchen knife, and fed it to the black horse little by little.
Tai Jizong also hurriedly filled the basin with warm water, and when he saw the black horse eating a few mouthfuls of hay, he fed a little water.
The black horse eats for a while, rests for a long time, and then continues to eat.
Everyone watched from the side, and slowly stopped talking, silently helping the black horse to cheer up.
Zhuzhu ate snacks in the house, waited and waited, but she didn't see her grandfather and father come in, but her mother and aunt were standing at the door and looking out.
She leaned over, slipped out of the gap between her mother and aunt, ran to her grandfather, and hugged her grandfather's thigh.
Old Man Tai was startled, looked down and saw that it was his granddaughter, afraid that she would be frightened by the appearance of a dark horse, so he wanted to coax her back.
I didn't want to Zhuzhu but looked at the black horse with big eyes, ran over and touched the black horse's face, and shouted in a milky voice, "Ma Ma, Ma Ma!" ”
Everyone couldn't help laughing and teasing the little girl.
"Zhuzhu is wrong, this is not a horse, this is a cow! Cattle in the plough! ”
"No, it's a donkey, it can kick people!"
Zhuzhu looked at the villagers, her eyes watery.
These people are so pitiful, they don't know horses!
When she was in heaven, there were winged horses and horses circling around her.
Of course, Ma Ma didn't eat her, and made friends with her.
I didn't expect that there are horses and horses in the world, but why don't they have wings?
Is it true that the horses of heaven have descended to earth and will have their wings cut off?
So scared, so pitiful!
Her little fat hand groped around the back of the black horse, and the frightened old man Tai hurriedly hugged his granddaughter.
The fat girl was in tears, hugging her grandfather's neck and begging, "Grandpa, the horse is so pitiful, can you save it?" ”
How dare the old man not agree, his granddaughter has to pick up the stars immediately, not to mention the dark horse that has been saving!
"Save, must be saved! Zhuzhu rest assured, grandpa is amazing, he will definitely save the big dark horse! You can rest assured to go to play and go to sleep, and when you wake up tomorrow morning, it will definitely be fine! ”
The old man almost patted his chest as a guarantee, and finally coaxed the fat granddaughter with milk.
But the villagers listened and couldn't help muttering in their hearts.
It's not so easy for this dead horse to be a live horse doctor.
In case you get up tomorrow morning and the black horse dies, where will you put the old man's face......
