The weather is fine.
Everyone had a nice lunch and continued working in the greenhouse in the afternoon.
The vegetable greenhouse only covers an area of two acres.
After the greenhouse was built, it seemed to occupy a large area.
But there are too many people. Even if the villagers are not all experts in farming, they can still easily do such a simple task as growing vegetables.
It was only two acres of land. If the leaders hadn't come to join in the fun in the morning, they would have finished it long ago.
In the afternoon, the leaders went to watch Chen Ling pick out horse hooves, and they quickly finished planting vegetables.
The next step is to dig diversion ditches and trenches.
The diversion ditch is used to irrigate vegetables and is relatively narrow.
The ditch is for fish farming, so it is wider.
Chen Ling simply drew the drawings and asked Wang Lixian to direct the villagers how to dig.
Actually, Chen Ling was responsible for digging the ditch and how to dig it.
Unexpectedly, something went wrong with the packhorse.
If your livestock is sick, you must not delay this.
After Chen Ling had eaten, he picked up the toolbox and led the packhorse and the little green horse to the river.
Wuyang Wuyang followed a large group of people behind him, and they were muttering along the way.
These people have never seen a horse being treated, and they are very curious.
Chen Ling doesn't care about these people who come to join in the fun.
While holding the horse, he shouted from time to time to Ruirui and Datou, who were running around in front.
Arrived at the river.
The little green horse took small steps to graze on the slope very consciously and obediently.
Of course, the cuteness is superficial. If you look carefully, you can tell that this guy is still restless by the way it lowers its head to eat grass while its eyes are darting back and forth.
The packhorse was honest and silent from beginning to end.
After arriving at the river, he stood quietly next to Chen Ling, but the sick foot on the right rear was pointing to the ground, just like a person standing on the tip of his toes.
No wonder Mr. Wu and others said that the packhorse's posture was quite ladylike.
This is really what it looks like.
It's just because there's something wrong with the hoof.
Chen Ling first circled around the pack horse and found a suitable position. He put down the tool box on the side of the pack horse's injured leg and picked out the hoof trimmer and iron shears.
Ruirui and Datou felt strange when they saw this, so they babbled and ran towards Chen Ling.
Old Wu is close, and this old man is faster than the two of them.
"Master, what do you want to do? I'll do it for you..."
"It's okay to do it. You can hand me the tools later."
Chen Lingchong was happy with this old apprentice. He chuckled, raised his head and waved to Yu Qi'an and a young man from the provincial station: "Qi'an, Xiao Wang, you two come here, Qi'an, hold the reins, Xiao Wang, please help depending on the situation."
Two. When people came over, Yu Qian said strangely: "What's going on? Such an honest packhorse, are you afraid of it making trouble?"
Chen Ling rolled his eyes: "This horse's hooves are rotten, I'll give it to him It will definitely hurt if you dig it out. Who knows if you will go crazy if it hurts.”
Mr. Wu, being a good apprentice, hurriedly came over: "Ah? Master, you are so close to the pack horse, what should you do if it hurts and kicks you?"
This is what many leaders wanted to ask, and they all looked curious. looked over.
Secretary Zhang also said hurriedly: "Yes, Xiao Chen, it is too dangerous for you to be so close to the pack horse... How about we find a place to tie its hooves and then treat it?"
As he said that, he walked over and said to Ruirui and the other two: "Good boy, you two come over quickly, let me play over there."
Chen Ling said with a smile: "It's okay, this The horse kicks straight back. If I stand directly behind it and trim its hooves, I might get kicked by it. If I stand on its side, it will be fine. Its hooves will not turn around to kick. < br>
If it were a cow, he would stand directly behind him.
This cow can only kick sideways, not backwards. "
Everyone suddenly said: "Huh? So that’s it! ”
They rarely come to the countryside and have little contact with animals, so how would they know these things.
Friends from Hong Kong and Taiwan were even more eye-catching and found this difference very interesting.
< br>
Chen Ling waved his hand: "Come on, come on, let's start. Hold your nose, Mr. Wu. This horse's hooves dig out and it stinks."
Mr. Wu also imitated Chen Ling and waved his hand: "Master, you underestimate me. I suffered a lot when I was young. A little smell is nothing."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ling grabbed the right rear hoof of the pack horse with quick eyes and hands. , pulled out the shoe at once...
'Plop'.
Just after pulling out the shoe, red pus and blood spurted out.
Then the white pus also flowed out along the edge of the hoof.
A stench also hit my nose.
Mr. Wu’s face instantly turned green.
With a 'vomit' sound, he covered his nose and stumbled back several steps, and then started coughing violently.
Yu Qian also screamed strangely: "I'll go, how long have these hoofs been broken? Why are they so smelly?"
But he was afraid that the horse would go crazy in pain, so he still held on to the reins tightly and wouldn't let go.
“Dad, Smelly.”
Ruirui also quickly covered her nose and pulled her head to hide away from Secretary Zhang and the others.
The little green horse on the slope suddenly raised his head, twitched his nose twice, and his expression seemed extremely shocked.
Chen Ling had already spread the pus-stained hooves of the packhorse, "Hahaha, what am I talking about? I smelled these hooves before eating. Don't I know how smelly it is? ?”
"Uh-huh, Master, uh-huh, this horse's hoof is broken, why does it smell worse than broken seafood, uh-huh..."
Mr. Wu's face was still green, and he held his nose and retched.
Although the old man suffered hardships when he was young, now that he has been enjoying himself for many years, how can he still stand such a stench.
“It’s not broken, it’s not broken, it’s only half rotten.” Chen Ling said with a smile.
Now that he saw the pus on the packhorse's hoof, he felt relieved.
The packhorse's hoof was indeed rotten, but only a small part was rotten.
The reason is simple. When shoeing, the skin and flesh inside the horse's hoof are damaged.
This skin belongs to the dermis of the horse’s hoof.
Usually it is protected by horseshoes, and horses often squeeze it when walking, so this layer of skin is relatively tough.
But when shoeing horses, there is a risk of injury.
To put it bluntly, when nailing the hoof, the lower nail was not driven in properly, and the hoof nail tilted inward and went in crookedly.
Generally, if the horse is directly injured by a hoof, the horse will no longer be able to walk after the shoe is nailed. If it is pulled out on the spot, the hoof will bleed directly.
What I am most afraid of is the packhorse in front of me.
When shoeing, the hoof nails must be straight and not crooked. What’s so difficult is that nothing happens at first.
Horses feel no pain.
But the more I walked, the inside became damaged by the skewed nails.
This injury is not a serious injury, and it will not get worse soon.
But as time went on, the wounds inside became difficult to heal and gradually expanded, becoming more serious.
This is why Chen Ling never found any disease in the packhorse's feet.
Pack horse, pack horse, this horse is bought to carry things.
The people in the mountains have to go out to transport goods every now and then.
If you walk frequently and bear weight on your body, the hoof injury will have occurred long ago.
The packhorse had already started limping.
After arriving at Chen Ling's house, the packhorse felt very comfortable.
It’s easy to not have to work every day.
In addition, the skin itself is very strong, and even the hoofs are rotten and there is no lameness at all.
This is what caused this situation.
Chen Ling picked up two handfuls of dead grass, wiped the pus on the pack horse's hoof, took the hoof trimmer, dug out and expanded the small hole in the horse's hoof, and the pus and blood flowed out. Finally, it was empty.
“Tsk, it’s a leaky hoof.”
Mr. Wu covered his nose and came over again: "Master, do you need disinfection? I'll go to the village pharmacy to get it."
"No, there is a spare in the toolbox."
Chen Ling grabbed it with one hand. Horse hoof, one hand stretched out: "syringe, iodine."
When Mr. Wu heard the instructions again, he was very excited and hurriedly rummaged through the tool box.
After finding the iodine, he pumped it into the syringe with a serious look on his face, and then handed it to Chen Ling: "Here, Master."
Chen Ling found the gesture of this elementary school student very funny, but it was a bit rude to laugh now, so he held back his laughter, picked up the thick needle, and started to charge at the horse's hooves.
As soon as the iodine touches the wound.
The packhorse, which had been so obedient just now, was immediately struggling with pain.
This little stallion is just different.
He raised his neck, snorted heavily from his nostrils, and shouted "Xi Lulu".
With a hard shake of his neck, the reins in Yu Qian's hand were pulled out. Yu Qian staggered and almost fell into pieces. Xiao Wang next to him didn't even react.
The packhorse is about to lose control.
And this horse is indeed an outstanding representative of being short and powerful.
Short and compact means strong and flexible.
This black draft horse was like this. Chen Ling was still holding one of its hoofs. It couldn't break free for a while, and its other hoof actually started to kick people.
The muscles of the left rear leg trembled, and a hoof flew up with dirt.
At the same time, the whole body has to push forward with force and rush forward.
Everyone was so frightened that they screamed and the little kid screamed.
Mr. Wu was behind Chen Ling. When he saw this, he quickly went to pull his young master to hide aside.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stretched out his hand and failed to touch Chen Ling, Chen Ling stood up and stepped forward, grabbed a horse's leg and lifted it, causing the suddenly crazy packhorse to be overturned to the ground.
The packhorse was actually in pain, not frightened, or for any other reason.
Being knocked to the ground by Chen Ling, it immediately became sober and honest again.
But...
The packhorse is honest, and the people around it cannot calm down.
I was just shocked by the reaction of the pack horse.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Ling suddenly overturned the horse to the ground, leaving them stunned.
No one knew how to react to such irritating things.
Although I have heard that Chen Ling captured a leopard in the mountains by himself before, I have also seen him hunt the wild boar king, and even kill a large wild boar by himself. There are also news.
But it’s still not as shocking as seeing it with your own eyes.
At this time, Ruirui ran over and kicked the pack horse on the butt with his little feet, "Dad, Ruirui hit it!"
The dogs in the distance also ran over, barking and rushing over to cheer their owners on.
That’s called a menacing one.
When Chen Ling saw this, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Go back, stop barking, it was fine at first, but it frightened the horse for a while."
A group of dogs retreated back with frowning eyes. .
Now everyone was amused again.
Yu Qian came back to his senses and raised his big head, and said to everyone: "Don't be surprised, a pack horse is nothing, a rich man can even make two oxen somersault." (End of Chapter)
