Chapter 58 Highest Etiquette

Cheng Weiyao raised her eyebrows slightly at Taru's awkward look. Taru was a straightforward person and rarely acted shy like this. Maybe he had something to ask for?

But before she could reply, a slender figure squeezed in between her and Tarrou.

Wen Liyu puffed out her cheeks and sat in the middle, widening the distance between them. She glared at Tarrou fiercely at the end, "Didn't your parents teach you that boys and girls shouldn't sit at the same table after the age of seven? My sister-in-law is a married woman!"

Although she spends most of her time taking care of her mother in the big tent, it doesn't mean that she really turns a deaf ear to what's happening outside. It's okay if Taru is close to Wen Chengming, but if he's close to Cheng Weiyao, wouldn't that be a mess?

Oh, the sun is rising from the west? Cheng Weiyao shook her head helplessly. Didn't her sister-in-law intend to deny the fact of her marriage to Wen Chengyun? Why did she think of it at this time?

"A woman as rude as you would never get married in your Central Plains, right? My mother said that Central Plains women are very gentle, like Sister Ayao..."

Taru glanced at Wen Liyu with a look of disgust. He could feel that this beautiful woman didn't like getting along with the herdsmen. It just so happened that he didn't like interacting with this kind of Central Plains woman!

"Well, Tarrou, just tell me what you want. I'll help you if I can."

Cheng Weiyao took out two roasted pork kidneys and stuffed them into the hands of Wen Liyu and Taru. Why did these two people who hated each other have to get together?

With Cheng Weiyao's words, Taru turned the topic to business. The Taru family mainly raised sheep, and every now and then some sheep would lick and gnaw walls, troughs, bricks, tiles and other debris, and even exhibit abnormal behaviors such as swallowing hair and cloth.

"I've also observed that once sheep develop these symptoms, they will gradually become emaciated and eventually die."

Taru summarized the abnormal conditions of his sheep and looked at Cheng Weiyao with hope. Since Sister Ayao could bring Uncle Som's cow back to life, maybe his sheep could also change their fate?

"Pica, since this isn't the first time it's happened, haven't you consult a doctor?"

Cheng Weiyao frowned when she heard this. It was understandable that there was no veterinarian around for the sudden illness of Uncle Som's cows... But from Tarrou's description, some of the sheep must have been suffering from pica, and it had been going on for more than a day or two.

"My father said that you go out to pasture against the wind and return with the wind, and your livelihood depends on the weather. Doctors on the plains wander around everywhere. If you meet someone, it's fate, and your life is not over. If you don't meet someone, it's fate that you are doomed..."

The corners of Tarrou's mouth twitched stiffly. Although his father said it lightly, he still had a frown on his face as he turned his back and looked at the lamb.

"You're young, but you have so much trouble. Don't look so sad. I'll check on your sheep tomorrow. Maybe I can cure it."

Cheng Weiyao hated to see children sighing, so she comforted them immediately. Since the matter had been settled, Taru naturally sat farther away and went to talk to Wen Chengming.

The next day, Cheng Weiyao got up early and went to Taru's sheep pen to observe the situation. Indeed, several sheep behaved abnormally, either licking the trough or gnawing at the fence of the sheep pen.

Judging from their appearance, these sheep have a very poor appetite. Not only are they thin, but their eyeballs are sunken. Their fur is not as fluffy and soft as ordinary wool, but instead appears rough and dull.

"How is Sister Ayao? Can she be saved? Does she need to be released for a checkup?"

Taru squatted next to Cheng Weiyao, ready to help. He could control it no matter whether he let her out or locked her up.

Although these sheep are sick, they are still adult sheep after all. The power of their horns cannot be underestimated. He does not want Cheng Wei Yao to get hurt.

"Well, let it out. I have a rough idea of ​​what's going on."

Cheng Weiyao nodded slightly and found a quiet grassy place to sit down. Sure enough, when they came out of the sheep pen, several sheep subconsciously began to look for foreign objects such as bones or wood chips to swallow.

If Tarrou discovered the foreign object and tried to take it away, the sheep would run away and would not give it up. Over time, the sheep's milk production would drop sharply, and eventually they would die from extreme anemia.

"Taru, take these sheep back and let me check out your feed. The sheep's condition is probably due to their diet being too monotonous. If we want to prevent it, we need to improve our feeding and management..."

Cheng Weiyao clapped her hands, and when she stood up from the grass dam, her eyes were full of calmness and determination. If the feed was improved and the grazing intensity of the Taru family was maintained, things would return to normal in a short time.

"Okay, that's good!"

Tarrou looked back, a bright smile spreading across his dark face, his teeth shining white.

The Taru family used the best dry grass. Cheng Weiyao suggested that they add ground bone meal, salt, etc. to the daily feeding to improve it. Taru nodded, but he did not tell his parents the good news that the sheep was saved.

He thought Cheng Wei Yao would prescribe some medicine like last time, but this time the consultation was unusually simple. It was not that he did not trust Cheng Wei Yao, but he just did not want his parents to be happy for nothing.

Cheng Weiyao noticed Taru's expression, but did not say anything. She just walked away quietly and went back to the work she was supposed to be doing.

Days passed one by one. Early one morning, Taru's mother came outside the tent with fresh goat milk and started calling out, "Ayao? Are you home? I've brought you some fresh goat milk!"

Cheng Weiyao glanced at Wen Liyu who turned over with a frown and the imperial concubine who was sleeping quietly, then she tiptoed out of bed, put on her clothes, lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in front of Taru's mother.

"You got up really early, but I don't want to receive anything without doing anything. How can I take your things for no reason..."

The goat milk was packed in a big jar, which was still warm when held. You could imagine how fresh it was. Cheng Weiyao was a little amazed at the herdsmen's perseverance in getting up early. She glanced at the sky and estimated that it was only five or six o'clock.

"You're so polite, Ayao. Thank you. I'm the one who should say this. Although Taru didn't say it, I can see that the sheep have been in much better condition recently, and their milk production has returned to normal. Thanks to your help..."

Taru's mother placed her hands on her chest and bowed her head slightly to express her gratitude. For herders, sheep are the guarantee of their lives. It is difficult to express gratitude with just a little goat's milk, but Cheng Weiyao was so humble.

After staying in the plains for a long time, Cheng Weiyao has gained a certain understanding of the culture of the herders. Taru's mother is practicing the highest etiquette, and it would be impolite to refuse her.

Cheng Weiyao simply stopped being shy and took the can of goat milk and thanked him directly.

"It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning. I'll take the goat milk. Thank you very much."
