"When a pregnant animal is about to give birth, her appetite should not be very good.
This animal has such a good appetite?
I’m quite full!”
“Is having enough food a good thing or a bad thing?”
"It's a good thing,
It's also a bad thing.
Just like people, when they are full, they always have strength.
The bad thing is that if you eat too much, you may vomit and feel nauseated during the delivery process, which will consume more energy.
But you don’t have to worry too much,
This animal is very strong. I have never seen such a strong horse or mule in my life.
Such a good physical foundation,
Giving birth is always easier..."
"It's coming out!
It’s coming out!”
"The baby is so big, I'm afraid it will be difficult to give birth!
Get the scissors!
Blanch it in hot water..."
in the stable,
Several disciples of the Zao Class were busy under the command of an old man with a stooped back and a long robe.
A large space was cleared in the shed,
The green donkey and draft horse were taken out of the stable,
Only the horses and mules were left here, screaming in pain.
Its cub is about to be born,
The hunchbacked old man was watching from behind its buttocks, bringing various tools and scalding them in hot water. From time to time, he used his hands to fiddle with the little cub, which was gradually showing its head.
The old man gestured with the scissors in his hand,
It was never put to use.
This horse and mule were so strong that even he thought they were rare.
If you use iron tools now, the wounds may not be able to heal well by then. It would be a big sin to drag down the life of such a good animal and destroy your own brand!
Yes,
The old man still wanted to observe and observe again,
If you can't use iron tools to help take out the cub, then you don't!
I don't know if it was the secret prayer in his heart that had an effect.
Or should this horse and mule die?
He originally thought that the fetus of a horse or mule would be difficult to deliver if it was too large.
Unexpectedly, under the continuous neighing of the horse and mule, the cub crawled out little by little!
At least two cubs as big as ordinary horses and mules were huddled on the haystack, kneeling under their mother.
The big horse and mule reached over again,
He tore off the fascia and placenta from his own cub.
"Give the big mule some salt water!"
The hunchbacked old man took a basin of warm salt water from Gou Sheng's hand.
I tried the temperature with my hands,
Then he brought the salt water to the horse and mule,
The big horse and mule were already tired and thirsty after giving birth. They immediately lowered their heads and stretched their mouths into the water basin and took a sip.
Wait until it drinks water,
The old man went to check the condition of the colt again, looked at its body, and praised: "This is the first time I have seen a mule colt that was born so big.
This little mule foal, just let it drink its mother's milk for the first fifteen days.
Then slowly feed some concentrated feed,
Add roughage to the concentrated feed step by step to give it time to adapt.
Also...
Do you think you should prescribe some medicine for your big mule? It will recover faster.
I tell the truth,
This mule is physically strong, so it’s okay not to prescribe any medicine. If you’re not feeling at ease, you can prescribe a few medicines.”
The hunchbacked old man looked at Su Wu,
With a hearty smile on his face,
Su Wu glanced at the horse and mule and replied: "It's better to prescribe some medicine. Childbirth is a big deal.
My master takes good care of this animal and prescribes some medicine to prevent it from getting sick, and we feel at ease."
"Okay, okay, okay, if you are willing to pay for some medicine, I can make more money." The hunchbacked old man was honest.
He placed the medicine box on the ground,
He took out a pen and paper from the box, spread it on the medicine box, wrote a prescription, and then took out several packets of medicine that had been prepared according to the prescription.
He handed the prescription and medicinal materials to Su Wu: "Just give it two doses a day."
"Thank you!" Su Wu took out a few pieces of silver from his arms and paid the money.
"Don't feed the big horse or mule for a day.
If it wants to eat the next day, you can give it less food.
You can gradually resume your normal diet on the third day." After taking the money, the old man said more,
Su Wu wrote them all down one by one.
Send the old man out of the Cui family mansion.
He turned back to the stable,
After reading the prescription carefully, I immediately understood that this prescription is mainly used to promote blood circulation and replenish deficiencies.
After deleting a few herbs with different medicinal properties, Su Wu added some herbs from the secret realm to form a potion, and handed it to Xiangdi who was guarding the little mule colt: "Sister-in-law, could you please help me make a potion?"
medicine."
"I am idle and have nothing to do,
It's not troublesome to boil the medicine, why do you need the little cook to bother me?" Xiangdi took the medicine package and went down with a smile.
Pearl, who was squatting next to the colt and stroking the wet hair of the colt, said in surprise: "This colt is indeed very big.
Several foals I have seen were only half his size or even smaller when they were born!"
"Okay, don't touch it casually. It can't stand the smell of strangers. It's too young and will get sick easily." Qingmiao smiled softly and pushed away Zhu'er's hand that was touching the little pony.
Xiu Xiu squatted next to her and wanted to touch her too.
Hearing this, he took back his little hand.
"Gou Sheng, go and tell the master that the horse and mule's cubs have already been released.
all the best,
Mother and son are safe." Su Wu said to Gou Sheng.
"Okay!" Gou Sheng agreed and left in a hurry.
Before he could go far, Su Wu stopped him again: "By the way, I can borrow the improved five-inner jar from Master!"
Gou Sheng was stunned when he heard this.
He turned to look at the little mule colt on the ground, and said hesitantly: "Senior brother, do you want to tell this little colt's fortune?"
"Go quickly!
Don’t delay!”
Su Wu urged again,
Gou Sheng didn't ask any more questions and went to report the situation to his master.
Before long,
The dog is back,
He borrowed five inner jars and said: "Brother, Master said that you have nothing to do and want to tell the fortune of a mule colt.
Let me take the five cans back later."
"I understand." Su Wu took the five inner jars and nodded.
Tear off a blank piece of paper from the edge of the prescription just now, and then look at Qingmiao: "Qingmiao, help me cut off a strand of hair from the little mule colt.
be careful,
Don’t hurt it.”
"good."
Qingmiao agreed softly, picked up the scissors that the old veterinarian had not used just now, and followed the example of scalding them in boiling water.
Then he gently cut off a strand of hair from the colt and handed it to Su Wu.
Su Wu stuffed the bunch of hair into the tiger's mouth in front of the five inner jars, rolled up the paper strip, and stuffed it into the small hole in the back.
There was a slight noise in the five inner jars,
The note was slowly pulled out from behind the jar.
Master once said before,
The probability that a horse or mule can become pregnant and give birth to a calf is extremely small.
Pregnancy of horses and mules is regarded as a bad omen.
Although Master no longer cares about this matter, Su Wu still takes it to heart.
Now is the time to test the fate of the little mule colt.
See how many crosses it has in its life?
Is your destiny good?
Su Wu picked up the note and looked at it, and was slightly startled!
——The fortune-telling crosses displayed on that note are extremely dense!
He counted carefully,
Then I discovered that the little mule's destiny had as many as "four and six".
The fate of four taels and six coins!
This destiny is very good,
Even many people’s fortunes are not as high as four taels and six cents!
A mule colt made it!
Su Wu was quite surprised inside.
He also asked Qingmiao to cut off a strand of hair from a big horse and mule and tested it, and found that the big horse and mule also had a fortune of three or two coins!
Simply strange!
A horse or mule has such a heavy destiny,
What will happen?
In the past, there was no improved version of the five-inner jar, and it was extremely difficult to calculate a person's destiny or the weight of his destiny.
Su Wu didn't expect that,
The fate of mother, mule and son is so precious!
He also measured the fortunes of the dogs he bought - their fortunes were much more normal, less than one or two more.
Only a little yellow dog's fortune reaches one, two or three cents, but it can't compare to two horses and mules!
It seems,
This horse mule is pregnant and giving birth to a calf,
It's most likely not an ominous sign,
On the contrary, it is more likely to be a good sign...
Su Wu burned several notes into ashes,
I resisted the urge to test the fortunes of my junior brothers and sisters on the spot.
If you let them know,
Their fate is not even comparable to that of two animals, so it is a blow to them.
and,
The cross in the destiny can reflect the weight of the destiny.
People with high destiny weight mostly have better destiny.
But people with lower fortunes may not necessarily have extremely bad fortunes.
Specific situations still require detailed analysis to arrive at more realistic results.
When Su Wu was testing the fortunes of horses and mules,
Sister-in-law Xiangdi has also boiled the medicinal soup and brought it over.
He ordered Gou Sheng to return the improved five-inner can to his master, and then personally fed the big horse and mule the medicinal soup.
He didn't understand the animal's pregnancy and delivery, postpartum care, cub management and other matters, so he strictly followed the old veterinarian's instructions in everything, and only fed the big horse and mule medicinal soup to promote blood circulation and replenish deficiencies.
No medicine was given to the foal.
but,
The medicinal properties of the medicinal soup that the big mule drinks will also remain in the milk.
The little mule foal eats food every day, which can be regarded as sharing the effect of the medicine.
In the three to five days since then,
After Su Wu served the master every day and took the medicinal soup,
Then he turned to look after the horse, mule, mother and son.
This mule foal, who has a very important destiny, also grows very fast. Perhaps it is because the mother's milk is abundant, which contains medicinal benefits. It has only grown in four or five days.
Then it can run and jump around steadily,
Most animals are more joyful when they are young,
Therefore, in the Cui family's mansion, this little mule foal was often seen running and having fun behind several puppies, causing bursts of laughter.
Su Wu told Master that the little mule colt had a fortune of "four taels and six coins".
Master also doesn’t know the reason for this.
I was also very surprised that Su Wu was going to raise this mule colt.
It might come in handy in the future.
A few days later,
The little mule foal really walks steadily,
The horses and mules have also recovered a lot. They can eat and drink, are fat and healthy, and do not show any signs of weakness caused by childbirth.
Only then did everyone in Zao Ban start their journey again.
Even though the big horses and mules are running like flying, they are still strong and strong,
But the Zao team is not willing to let it bear the heavy burden right now.
So he only let it pull an empty carriage,
Let the draft horses and green donkeys share more of the weight,
Set off and turn towards the ‘Zhijin Mountain’.
Although the team had already set off, Master was still ordered by Su Wu to rest in the carriage and still had to take medicinal soup every day.
That medicinal decoction is indeed very effective.
Even Li Yueshan himself can feel that after taking the medicinal decoction, he becomes more energetic every day.
He thought that his eldest disciple might have invited a miracle doctor to diagnose his illness.
Therefore, I am not against taking medicine every day.
The only one who was not angry was that the disciple was 'monitoring' him all the time, and even strictly limited the time he could get out of the car and move around.
