There was something so obviously wrong, how could Shu Miao dare to let this sick chick mix with the healthy chicks? What if it was some infectious disease, wouldn't the whole bunch of them be wiped out?
I immediately turned around and reported the unusual situation to the aunt.
Li Qiao's face turned unhappy when she heard that. She brushed the dust off her hands, grabbed the basket covered with straw behind the door, and hurriedly followed Shu Miao to the backyard.
Without saying a word, he transferred the three healthy chicks into the basket one by one.
Only the frightened sick chick was left, staggering to its feet, falling down, and then getting up again.
After he was exhausted, perhaps because he realized the danger was over, he lay down again, his head still unconsciously falling to one side.
The sickly look of the chick made both of them feel distressed. Shu Miao was really worried that the chick would die, while Li Qiao was worried that the five cents she spent on the chick would be wasted, and she felt regretful.
If she had known that the chick was so weak, she would have paid an extra five cents to pick a strong chick!
Now, not only did I not get the bargain, but my five cents was about to be wasted!
Li Qiao frowned tightly, but still didn't want to give up. She resigned herself to her fate and went forward to grab the chick, intending to try to rescue it.
Before leaving, he did not forget to ask Shu Miao to feed the remaining three chickens.
Seeing this, Shu Miao agreed readily, but his heart was wandering away.
After thinking about it, he simply picked up the basket containing the chickens and followed.
I deliberately found a place where the sun could shine and put down the basket containing the chickens. Then I hurriedly chopped the alfalfa that the aunt mentioned and mixed it into the chicken feed bowl.
Seeing the three chicks chirping and eating happily, she breathed a sigh of relief.
It looks like there won’t be any major problems with the remaining chicks!
Then he rushed to the kitchen to see what tricks the aunt had. But when he looked over, he saw the aunt holding the chicken's mouth open with one hand and pouring something into it with a spoon with the other hand.
The most heartbreaking thing is that after all this trouble she made, the chick that could still flutter around just now is now visibly dying.
Li Qiao gently kicked the little chicken lying motionless on the ground, shook her head and sighed.
Who knew that when I turned around, I would meet a pair of eyes filled with fear.
Her eyes flickered and she looked away uncomfortably.
After clearing his throat, he gave another order, "Ahem, this chick is not going to survive. Take it out and bury it."
Shu Miao swallowed hard, and finally recovered a little, nodding in response.
He took a few quick steps forward, carefully picked up the chick that was breathing out more than it was breathing in, and hurried out with his head down.
Li Qiao was still a little worried and shouted, "Bury it farther away. If it gets infected, it will be troublesome!"
Hearing this, Shu Miao, who originally wanted to bury the chick in the vegetable garden, could only walk out with the chick in his arms.
After looking around, I decided it wasn't appropriate to bury it directly in the field.
Because it was almost time to plant rice, if she buried the chicks now, they would have to be dug out tomorrow.
Ridges and ditches are even more inappropriate!
So, Shu Miao's attention was focused on the small hill opposite.
After estimating the distance, he took a step forward.
Just as she was about to reach her destination, she suddenly heard a faint cry.
The little chicken that had just fallen in her hands, its life or death unknown, was now able to barely hold up its head.
It blinked its wet eyes and cried again, as if begging Shu Miao to save it.
Seeing this, Shu Miao's heart softened, and he couldn't help but want to put it into the space.
But then I thought again, I was worried that the chick might have contracted some livestock infectious disease, as the aunt said.
You know, she still has to go to Lin Zhiqing's place tomorrow to put the reserved chicks into the space.
If it is really an infectious disease among livestock, will all the chickens brought into the space be infected?
What will we do if the entire army is wiped out?
Just as she was swaying from side to side, she had already reached the hillock. The little chicken, which had just raised its head and chirped a few times, now had lost all its strength and lowered its head, and was silent.
Shu Miao didn't know how to express his feelings at the moment. He hoped that the chick would survive, but he was also glad that he didn't have to waver on whether to save it or not.
She sighed and shook her head, getting rid of the complicated thoughts in her mind, and began to look for a suitable address.
Because we left in a hurry, we didn't have time to bring tools, so we could only choose a relatively soft and flat place to avoid the difficulty of digging a hole.
After choosing a suitable place, she put down the chicken in her hand, broke off a branch and used it as a shovel to dig a hole on the spot.
At this moment, an unexpected scene happened.
The chick, which was about to die, suddenly struggled to stand up!
Seeing this, Shu Miao just stood there in a daze, watching the little chick fluttering towards him, and finally lying at his feet and falling down again.
Well, she admitted that she was indeed soft-hearted at the moment...
I thought to myself, even if I can’t keep it alive in the end, I’ll just wait until it dies completely!
She first looked around to see if there was anyone around, then she squatted down and held the little guy in her hands again, pretending to put it into the pit, but actually putting the little guy into the space.
After that, he filled the hole obediently and returned home with a dejected look on his face.
Zili, who came home a long time late, was severely beaten as soon as he entered the house and was finally forced to take full responsibility for raising the chicks.
The two equally depressed people looked at each other, and finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Li Qiao, confused, shook her head and ignored what the two children were doing.
After dinner, Shu Miao washed up and went back to his room early because he was really worried about the little chicken in the space.
