Chapter 124 Big 'Wild Boar'
There will be no place to burn garbage near the scenic spot. Such a big pit can only be used for burning corpses later.
This scenic spot is so big. If someone survives the virus, it should not be difficult to survive until now with the supplies in the scenic spot.
As long as no one walks around in the mountains and they are not cleaned, a lot of spider webs can be formed in a few days. It has been obvious that no one has walked around here for more than a week.
In addition to B&Bs and restaurants, the scenic spot also has a flat grassland behind it. A horse farm has been built on the grassland to raise horses for tourists to ride and take photos.
The two finally found 'people' here.
Mu Xi immediately covered her eyes, but she still caught a glimpse of him.
It was already shapeless and scattered nearby, covered with flies and maggots, and exuding a disgusting smell.
She couldn't help turning around and retching.
Mu Xi gently stroked her back and pulled her out of the racecourse.
He saw clearly that in addition to people, there were also horse corpses. The nearby footprints had been washed away by the rain, but the marks on the corpses looked like they had been attacked by a herd of animals.
He probably tried to run away on horseback, but was caught up and both the man and the horse were gone.
The two of them didn't speak, and returned to Xiaohong's original owner's house. They took out all the utensils and packed them up. Unfortunately, there were no books to study with, only some handwritten notes.
A hook knife and hoof scissors were found inside.
Zhao Yeqing felt a little sorry for Xiao Hong when he saw it. He initially promised to trim its hooves, but only now did he find the tools.
She had seen other people trimming their hooves, but she had never actually done it herself.
He gently lifted Xiaohong's hoof, and when he saw that it didn't respond, Zhao Yeqing started to take action.
You have to wear a special apron to trim a horse's hooves. It is different from a cooking apron. It is worn on the legs. The leather one is used to protect the thighs.
Clamp the horse's hoof between your legs, lift the horseshoe out first, and then use a hook knife to scrape the dirt off the horse's hoof clean and smooth.
The shaved horse hoof should be clean and white in the middle. Use hoof scissors to trim the circumference in an arc, just like a human would cut nails.
Put the horseshoe on the repaired horse's hoof. There are small holes in the horseshoe. Use small nails to drive through the holes to fix the horseshoe.
Mu Xi started at the side, and after looking at it once, he felt that he could try it out.
Zhao Yeqing handed him the tools and sat beside him to watch.
When it comes to trimming horseshoes, it's more fun to watch others do it, but it's really a laborious job to do it yourself.
With the horseshoes repaired and things found, the two of them can pack up and go back.
The supplies in this tourist area have been almost consumed. Except for Xiaohong's supplies and some seeds, there is nothing to get.
The next morning, the saddle was put on Xiaohong's back, and other small items were put into the bag and hunched behind the horse's butt.
Zhao Yeqing got on his horse and accelerated towards home.
There is no need to stop looking for a house on the return trip, just go home.
The two of them did not forget to go to the first wooden house and take away all the rice and noodles inside. The quantity was not much, only twenty or thirty kilograms.
When setting off again, Zhao Yeqing was riding a horse with a relatively high field of vision, and saw several black figures in the distance.
She was startled, got off her horse and called Mu Xi out of the room.
"There's a wild boar! It's so big!"
This was bigger than any wild boar they had seen before, and it was blocking their path.
Mu Xi stepped on the wall, jumped up to the roof in two steps, and looked in the direction she pointed.
After watching it, he jumped down from the roof, walked up to her and asked, "Look at the belly of the wild boar, is it a little white?"
"Yes."
"Isn't it bigger than an ordinary wild boar?"
"OK."
Mu Xi smiled and ruffled her hair, "Let's just say, is there a possibility, how many cows are they?"
Zhao Yeqing blinked in confusion, stood on tiptoes and squinted his eyes to take a closer look.
It seems like...a few cows indeed.
The two walked over. The cow was used to seeing people and was not defensive. When it got nearby, it just stopped eating grass and looked up at the two.
The three cows were already a little skinny.
"Why are you so thin?"
Mu Xi guessed, "This family has probably disappeared for a long time. The cattle eat a lot, and there are other wild animals on the meadow. I don't know what the remaining ones have been through."
Generally speaking, the herdsmen on the meadow will not only raise three cows. The others should have been hunted.
I have lived in hiding until now in fear.
Zhao Yeqing said that I am familiar with this.
Isn’t this also ownerless?
The oxen were not as alert as the horses, and were much more docile. They shouted a few times to drive the oxen away, then used a whip to drive them from behind, and then followed them obediently.
Mu Xi also made a special trip back to see what the family had for raising cattle, and brought them back with him.
When they returned home the next day, they both sighed again.
Come to life again.
The cows are tied outside first, so the cow pen must be set up first.
The sheep pens and stables are all made of bricks, and the cattle cannot favor one thing over another.
Fortunately, cattle are relatively cold-tolerant, so you shouldn’t need to worry too much.
The cattle pen was built next to the sheep pen. Rhubarb didn't react much to the cattle. He probably saw it on the meadow before.
A few puppies and leopards were a little frightened, and they didn't dare to approach for two or three days.
With cattle, the family's stock of pasture is not enough.
Fortunately, I was not lazy before and the grass circle was well taken care of. The grass circle planted behind is now very dense.
There is still one more harvest before winter completely sets in.
Mu Xi took out the roots of the large-leaf fast-growing locust tree and the seeds of corn grass, "Let's use these to replant."
The grass sown now will definitely not be harvested. I hope it will survive the winter and grow in spring.
The main reason is that the large-leaved fast-growing Sophora japonica is planted by root system. If you don't plant it now and leave it until next year, you may not be able to plant it.
Mu Xi took half of the root system and planted it, leaving some room.
Corn grass doesn’t matter, there are a lot of seeds, and I found a lot of corn grass seeds this time when I went out.
Zhao Yeqing returned to the room to study how to raise cattle.
She regrets it very much now. If she could do it all over again, she would definitely choose agriculture or animal husbandry.
Finding useful information from scrawled and messy notes is a painful process.
There was a cow with a big belly. The two thought it was pregnant at first, but after a closer look they found that it was a bull.
Now she was rummaging through her notes and finally found the relevant information.
This is caused by accidentally eating legumes and causing bloating.
Fortunately, the materials for treating diseases are available at home.
She walked to the kitchen, heated a pot and heated oil. After the oil was hot, she put tobacco leaves in the pot.
Fry on low heat for five minutes, take the pot off the stove and let it cool.
Just wait until it cools down and then pour it into the cow's mouth.
While waiting for the oil to cool down, Zhao Yeqing went to feed a few rabbits.
Rabbits are so capable of giving birth. The rabbit that had just given birth not long ago was actually about to give birth again.
Now, except for wild boar traps, they no longer need to set up small traps.
Zhao Yeqing's feeding hand paused.
Completely forgot!
The two of them went out for three days and came back for two days, but they didn't even look at the wild boar trap once.
When Mu Xi came back, the two of them strapped their guns on their backs and led their horses, and ran into the woods.
Sure enough, the trap had been triggered, and the black-haired wild boar hanging above was so hungry that it had only one breath left.
