Hello 1983

  Chapter 88 Pig Farm Crisis

   This surprised Liu Shikui and Lin Zhi, Lin Zhi hurriedly hissed: "Sifenger, don't talk nonsense."

  The little fourth sticks out her tongue, she doesn't understand either, but she just heard from some grandparents in the village that someone sneaked to make offerings to Baojiaxian and so on.

  In the past few years, the four olds were broken, and these were all within the scope of the attack. In the past two years, they have risen a little bit, and even the great dancers have started to rise again.

   "Qingshan, Baojiaxian, which kind of **** is it, it seems that there is no one on the list of gods?"

  Gangzi didn't know what Baojiaxian was, so he asked the question in his heart.

  Liu Qingshan briefly explained to him that Baojiaxian, like Tiao Dashen, has a relationship with shamans.

  Shamans believe that all things have spirits, so seemingly spiritual animals like foxes and weasels have gradually become objects of worship and are enshrined among the people.

  Because of entrusting the good wish of Baojia to live in peace, it is called Baojiaxian, and it is usually offered in the warehouse.

  A few people were talking, when they heard the beam of a flashlight coming from the street, accompanied by the sound of a pole making a noise:

   "Qingshan, are you at home, hurry up and go to the pig farm to have a look!"

  Liu Qingshan's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly told his family members to go to bed first, and he hurried out of the gate.

   Brother Fei and Gangzi also followed, but he drove them back.

  When the pole was yelled just now, many villagers were alarmed. The old branch secretary’s home was in the front yard, and he also came out with his clothes on.

  Surrounded by the crowd, Zhang Ganzi gesticulated and said in vernacular: "Yesterday morning, when I was cleaning up the pig manure, I found thin feces, so I told the captain's sister-in-law."

   "She said it's okay, just give me two pills, but I didn't care much about it."

  Everyone was anxious when they heard it. The old party secretary pulled the shoe, and before he could mention it, he simply pulled one off, hopped on one foot, and pulled the sole of the shoe on the back of Zhang Ganzi's head:

   "Don't talk about those useless things, pick the dry stuff!"

  Being beaten by the second uncle, Zhang Ganzi couldn't tell: "There is nothing to do. When I clean up the pig manure tonight, it will be all thin!"

  What, are you all loose?

  Everyone’s complexion changed drastically, and the old branch secretary slapped the sole of his shoe again: “You bastard, why didn’t you say nirvana earlier!”

Zhang Ganzi's face was full of injustice: "It's the captain's sister-in-law who said that it's nothing serious, just feed a few tablets of oxytetracycline. I just looked around and found that many piglets didn't eat, and they just lay there humming. I just came back to report!"

  At that time, the medical conditions in rural areas were quite settled. Painkillers, oxytetracycline, and tetracycline were all magic medicines that could cure all diseases at that time.

  Especially tetracycline, this thing is very useful, but it hurts teeth. Many people who came from that era have tetracycline teeth.

  A pretty big girl with a mouth full of dark tetracycline teeth, and she lost her teeth early, she is really deceiving.

  Seeing that the old branch secretary was still smoking with the sole of his shoe, Liu Qingshan hurried forward: "Grandpa branch secretary, don't blame Uncle Ganzi, let's go to the pig farm first."

  The most worrying thing still happened. In the breeding industry, I am afraid that the livestock will get sick.

   How else should I put it: I have a lot of money, and hair is not counted.

  In fact, Zhang Ganzi is already considered a good job, and he still thinks about it at night. He knows to go to the pig house to have a look, and he also knows to report back to the village.

  If we delay for another night tonight, how many dead piglets will we have to throw away tomorrow?

   Seeing that the villagers were all following, the old party secretary yelled them back, and only brought a few people who were usually active and able to come up with ideas, and hurried to the pig farm together.

  Captain Zhang was naturally the first among them. When he entered the gate of the pig farm, he saw his wife was shedding tears, and he slapped him:

   "You prodigal bitch, why didn't you tell me about the situation earlier!"

  The boss uncle next to him quickly hugged Captain Zhang: "Don't worry, look at the pigs first!"

  The team leader’s aunt has long been in a state of disorientation, and all she can say is: "Our old sow also had loose stools before, and it will be fine by feeding two tablets of oxytetracycline."

   Still unprofessional, Liu Qingshan shook his head secretly, but in large-scale breeding, everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones, no one has experience, and if something goes wrong, we can't blame this or that.

  So he said comfortingly: "Auntie, don't worry, we will treat you if you are sick."

   "If all the piglets are dead, how can I have the face to live!"

  The captain’s aunt clapped her hands on her thighs and cried loudly. She knew that the pig farm was built with a loan, and it was entrusted with the hopes of the entire village in Jiapigou.

   There is a good or bad thing, she is ashamed of everyone's trust, even if she throws herself into a river and jumps into a well, she can't wash away the guilt in her heart.

   "Stop howling, trying to cure the piglet is the real thing!"

  Captain Zhang yelled again, and everyone hurried to the pig house.

  There are electric lights in the pig house, 25-watt incandescent bulbs, which villagers are reluctant to use in their homes.

   A group of people entered the shed, and the pungent smell made people feel a little breathless.

   Probe into the pigsty to see that there are half-sized pigs over two feet long lying in a mess.

  The nose is also dry, and the ears are also curled up. The small tail that is usually curled up is drooping behind her back, and there are pieces of feces on it.

  Everyone gasped involuntarily, it really hurts.

   Such a big piglet is almost like a child. It usually looks alive and kicking, and if it is a little sick, it will be shown. It is not resistant to tossing.

   "I'll go to the commune to see if I can invite the veterinarian from the veterinary station."

  Da Zhang Luo's mind is still clear, and he was the first to react.

  The old branch secretary nodded: "That's the only way to go, let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor."

  In fact, everyone also understands in their hearts: it is already nine o'clock in the evening, and the veterinarian is invited, and it is probably almost dawn.

  Not to mention whether it can be cured or not, there are hundreds of piglets, and there may not be so many medicines at the veterinary station.

   "Then I'll go back and set up the car!"

  The owner of the car is also in a hurry to make preparations.

   "I'm afraid it's too late."

  Liu Qingshan frowned and thought for a while, and finally made up his mind: "Uncle Zhang Luo, Uncle Boss, you go to the veterinarian first, it's best to bring the two sick piglets, and the diagnosis can be made there."

After finishing speaking, he turned to the old branch secretary: "Grandpa secretary and uncle captain, we can't be tough at home, I know a way to treat gastroenteritis in piglets, anyway, it's like this, let's try it first, a dead pig is a living pig doctor. "

   "Then split up, Boss and Da Zhang Luo, be careful on the road."

  The old branch secretary gave those two a word first, and then turned to Liu Qingshan: "Qingshan, what do you say, we all believe you!"

  In a word, Liu Qingshan felt a heavy weight on his shoulders, but at this time, he would not back down.

   "Now we lack medical care and medicine, we can only try with herbal medicine."

  The old branch secretary nodded again: "A few years ago, when big animals like cattle and horses got sick, they were all treated with herbal medicine, which is similar to the treatment of people."

  The fact is true, especially in those years just after liberation, many veterinarians prescribed herbal medicines, and the doses were much larger than those taken by humans.

  Liu Qingshan continued: "For this recipe, I only need two herbs, one is the old root of my mother-in-law Ding, and now I will send some people to dig it on the meadow."

  Dandelions are all over the place, as long as you use a flashlight, you can definitely dig them.

  In this month, it is a little bit cold at night, and there is only a layer of ground that can be dug.

  The captain's aunt wiped her eyes: "I'll lead the women in the village right now."

  She had a strong temper, and she was only thinking of committing crimes and meritorious deeds, so she turned around and ran away without a trace.

  Everyone did not stop them. Of course women are most suitable for this job. They continued to listen to Liu Qingshan: "There is still a herbal medicine, which is Guan Huangbai."

   "What is Guan Huangbai, haven't you heard of it?"

  Captain Zhang is also in a hurry, if he can't find the medicinal materials, he will still be caught blind.

   "It's the bark of the Huangbo tree. This thing is very painful, and it's the best for treating dysentery."

  Liu Qingshan also explained that Coptis chinensis is the best, but in the middle of the night, where can I find so many Coptis chinensis?

   This recipe was told by a professional pig breeder in his later generations, and he doesn't know if it really works or if it's just a bragging.

  But in this situation, we can only give it a try.

   "You are talking about the yellow glass tree, then there is such a tree in the woods outside our village, just cut one and peel off the bark!"

   Captain Zhang yelled and was about to go home to get the big saw.

  The local people call it Baiyao, so they call the Huangbo tree a yellow glass tree.

  Liu Qingshan knew it would be like this, and quickly stopped him: "Don't cut it down, the tree is precious, we can use some bark on the branches."

  Are you kidding me? This tree will be a national first-class protected tree species in the future. Although the plant protection law has not yet been promulgated, Liu Qingshan can't blindly harm it.

   Captain Zhang agreed, and went back to the village to find someone.

  Liu Qingshan and the old branch secretary were left at the pig farm, and asked Zhang Ganzi to boil a large pot of boiling water and prepare first.

  Before ten o’clock, people picked up the herbs one after another, cleaned them up briefly, threw them into the pot and cooked them.

  The ratio of cork and dandelion is one to two. After boiling, the steam will be steaming, and there will be a bitter taste in the steam.

   After cooking for another half an hour, at about 10:30, the black medicinal soup was filled into large pots.

  Someone next to it was stirring with a wooden stick, and let it cool quickly.

   After drying to half temperature, the time is ten forty, and I started to pour medicine to the piglets.

  There were more than a hundred people in pairs, one person was responsible for prying open the pig's mouth, and the other poured half a large bowl of medicinal soup into the piglet's mouth.

   Some of the piglets were dying, so it was easier to irrigate; most of them still had the strength to toss about, thinking they were going to be stabbed, screaming and struggling desperately, making everyone's bodies covered with filth.

  But at this time, no one would care about this. As long as they can be saved, they are willing to ask everyone to lay on the floor in the pigsty.

  At 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, the medicine is finished, and the rest is waiting anxiously.

  Liu Qingshan told everyone to go home to rest and listen to the news the next day, but no one listened to him at all.

  Even if the old branch secretary and captain Zhang gave the order, it still didn't work.

  While everyone was eagerly looking forward to it, at one o'clock in the middle of the night, some piglets began to get up from the ground. Although their hooves were still a little staggering and their legs were a little weak, they were obviously energetic.

  This...is it rescued?

  Everyone's face showed joy, and the faces that were tense just now also showed some smiles.

  The piglet got better, but someone had trouble, and Zhang Ganzi yelled that he was not good, and ran to the toilet with his belly in his arms.

  Tossing for most of the night, anxious to get angry and take out the air conditioner, this guy also started to have a stomachache.

  When he staggered out of the thatched building, Zhang Dashuai handed over a bowl of black soup: "Gear, do it!"

   "Isn't this boiled and fed to pigs just now?"

   Zhang Ganzi looked troubled.

  Dashuai Zhang laughed loudly: "It works even if a pig drinks it, but it's definitely better if a human drinks it!"

   Zhang Ganzi was cruel, took the two big bowls, closed his eyes, and drank in one breath.

   Bitter wow!
