Splendid Farm: Niangzi loves farming

Chapter 9 Feeding the Reindeer
This little thing is so thin that its bones are stunned. Not only is it not as vicious as the raccoon dog just now, but it is also very weak. Helpful and desperate.

Shuanzi looked at it for a while, waved the oak stick in his hand, and said, "What should I do, sister, do you want to kill it too?"

Mo Qianqian hurriedly stopped her and said, "Don't! It's already like this, why are you beating it? It looks like a deer cub. Let's take it home and see if we can raise it. If it grows up, we will When harvesting land in autumn, people don’t need to carry grain back.”

Shuanzi was very obedient, he threw the oak stick aside and said, "Okay, but how do you take it away?"

Mo Qianqian shook out the hemp rope that was holding the wild boar in his arms and walked forward, wrapped the hemp rope around the two horns of the deer cub and tied it tightly, and said: "You take off the sheath, then push it, look at it Will you come with us?"

Shutter untied the holster covering the cub's neck and shook it off, then kicked its ass with his feet, but the cub tried hard but couldn't stand up.

Shuanzi pushed it again, but this time the deer cub had no intention of moving on its own.

Mo Qianqian guessed that this little thing was already too weak, and after being caught by the condom, he struggled lightly, so now he has no strength at all.

Shuanzi said: "Sister, it can't even stand up, maybe it's dying of illness, it's better to beat it to death."

Mo Qianqian said: "Whoever was killed, I don't think it's sick, most of them are starving because they don't have mothers to nurse them..."

As he spoke, he put the rope around the deer's neck, then walked to its side, wrapped one hand around the deer's neck, and wrapped around its hind legs with the other. With both hands, he really hugged the deer.

She walked forward and said, "Go, take the raccoon home."

In this way, the two of them walked for a while, took a break, changed hands, and tossed and tossed until noon, and finally got one dead and one alive, and brought the two prey home.

Yu'erniang and Shuanziniang were still mending together, and seeing that the children brought back two prey, both of them were terribly surprised.

Yuerniang asked in surprise, "Where did you get this?"

Shuanzi put the fawn in his arms on the ground, patted the snow foam and dust on his body and proudly showed off: "Sister and I got caught!"

Shuan Ziniang was also surprised: "Oh, you two little ancestors, didn't you say to go out to play? Why are you still hunting? What's going on?"

Shuan Zi beamed as he said that Mo Qianqian was so exhausted that he was dying, put down the raccoon dog, threw himself on the kang and pretended to be dead.

After Shuanzi finished speaking, both Shuanziniang and Yuerniang turned their attention to Mo Qianqian on the kang, and Yuerniang asked curiously and happily: "Yuer, how do you know how to use a condom to trap prey? Who taught you?" of?"

Mo Qianqian said weakly and perfunctorily: "I heard my uncle say something before, and I just figured it out myself."

Shuan Ziniang asked strangely: "When did your uncle say it, why don't I know?"

Mo Qianqian said nonsense: "My uncle said when he was talking to outsiders that you are not here."

Shuan Ziniang and Yu Erniang wanted to ask something else, but at this time Shuan Zi interrupted and gave a solution.

Shuanzi said: "Mother, we have to go tomorrow. We can hunt all winter, so we can be like when my father was here!"

Shuan Ziniang stopped talking immediately.

Seeing this, Yu'erniang squeezed a smile and said: "Okay, we will accompany you tomorrow, so that nothing will happen to your two children's family."

Mo Qianqian didn't want them to follow her, so she hurriedly said, "No need, just the two of us, that...you take care of...it at home!"

As she spoke, she pointed to the sleepy deer lying on the ground.

Shuan Ziniang said: "Why does Yu'er keep this thing to support?"

Mo Qianqian regained his strength, sat up and said, "Well, Second Aunt, do you think this thing is a deer cub? If so, it can be used as a cow and a horse when it grows up."

Shuanzi's mother came closer to look at it carefully, looked at it for a while, and said: "Yu'er, this is not just a deer cub, but a reindeer cub, Shuanzi's father said that the Okut people in Shanxi use this thing as a Niu Mashi, you really got it right!"

Shuanzi immediately jumped up to claim credit, saying: "Mother, I put this thing on the cover, and my sister said that there is no place to cover it!"

Shuan Ziniang said with a smile: "Okay, you are amazing! It's not like a blind cat met a dead mouse!"

Mo Qianqian also laughed, really, if it wasn't for the fawn's hunger and confusion, it wouldn't have gotten into the cover on the flat ground.

Shuanzi Niang was happy, but she was also a little worried about such a half-dead little thing, and said: "It's good to be able to raise a reindeer, but what should we feed it? I guess it can't be fed with hay. We don't have any Others can be fed to it."

Yu'erniang also said: "Yeah, it seems that if you can eat some cow's milk and goat's milk to make you stronger..."

Shuan Ziniang said: "Don't talk about milk, we don't even have food, where can we get milk from cows and goats?"

Shuan Li suddenly said: "Mother, I heard Aunt Wang said that Mr. Chen's big yellow dog has given birth, shall we go get some dog milk?"

Shuan Ziniang's eyes lit up, and she said, "That's okay, I'll go get some to try..."

As he said that, he was about to leave, but he came back after taking two steps, and said: "But it's not good to go empty-handed like this, why don't you peel the raccoon dog and carry some meat."

Mo Qianqian knew what she was thinking, she must have felt that there was no man in the family, and she was worried that if she went to another house empty-handed to ask for things, she would be taken care of by others.

So he sat up and said: "Well, what Second Aunt said is right, let's peel the raccoon dog right now, and it will be enough for us to eat for two days without giving away."

Shuanzi's house was well prepared with skinning tools, but both Shuanzi's mother and Yu'erniang were too timid to reach out to touch this thing, and Mo Qianqian was worried that Shuanzi's hand would not cut the skin deeply enough, so he had to do it himself.

After asking Shuanzi's mother, she knew that Shuanzi's father skinned dogs in a cylindrical shape, so she also learned from watching the villagers skin the dogs. The hook hooked the raccoon's mandible, and then carefully separated it with a knife, peeling off the skin round by round.

Although it was simple to say, she was exhausted after finishing all these tasks.

After hunting and peeling, she didn't care about the rest.

Mrs. Shuan Zi opened up the raccoon neatly and cleaned it, then cut off the front and back legs and went to Mr. Chen's house to ask for dog milk.

Yu'erniang chopped the meat at Shuanzi's house and stewed it in the pot.

Not long after, Shuan Zi's wife came back with half a bowl of dog milk from Mr. Chen's house that Shuan Zi said.

Mo Qianqian was very interested in this little deer. Seeing that Mrs. Shuan had indeed got milk back, she got up from the kang to feed the deer.
