When I passed by the health center and went to see my uncle, I felt very sad.
Perhaps he was very hungry, as he was eating the cakes and other things they gave him on his bed.
But he couldn't bear to eat it, so he just picked up some crumbs that fell from the pastry, threw them into his mouth, and then swallowed them with a big sip of water.
At this moment, he was the only patient in the ward, so he didn't have to worry about being seen.
It was the first time that Liu Qian had seen this, and it was a bit shocking for a young boy who had never been hungry since childhood.
After hanging out in the village these days, he could see that not every family could live a good life.
It was really thanks to Zhao Wei that he could eat the delicious fried rice with eggs and animal meat.
Zhao Wei coughed heavily and then pushed open the door of the ward.
"Uncle, hurry up, this is the meal I brought for you. It's still hot. Eat it quickly."
In order to keep warm, I have to hold my baby in my arms with clothes while running, and also to prevent him from crying, which is not easy.
My cousin said with some embarrassment: "You said you had gone back, why are you here again? I won't starve to death if I don't eat a meal."
"How can that be possible? You still have to eat. Your aunt and cousin are counting on you. Taking good care of yourself is better than anything else."
Zhao Wei handed over the fried rice, and thoughtfully put some pickled vegetables he had made in it. It was crisp and refreshing, and guaranteed to be something you wouldn’t get tired of.
"Uncle, take a good rest after you finish eating. We will go to Wujiaping now to give you the news."
"Oh... sorry to bother you, I'm really sorry!"
Zhao Wei smiled, comforted the other party with a few words and left.
From beginning to end, my uncle never mentioned anything about dog meat.
In his opinion, all the dog meat should be given to Zhao Wei. His life was given by the other party, so he had no right to enjoy it.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Wei prepared the dog meat and sent it directly to his home.
It was two days later when he found out. When he learned that the woman and child were well taken care of, he couldn't stop crying. He was such a grown man, but he cried like a child.
…
However, Liu Qian was not idle along the way. He followed Zhao Wei to learn how to drive a carriage. Although he was young, he had a high level of comprehension and soon he was able to do it quite well.
The journey was smooth and there were no wild dogs in sight. Zhao Wei thought that the night would be safe and secure.
He never expected that just as he handed the whip to Liu Qian and hid comfortably in the carriage to take a nap, the horse, which had been obedient and well-behaved, suddenly started to make a fuss like crazy.
Liu Qian's small body was almost thrown out.
Fortunately, Zhao Wei saw the opportunity quickly, grabbed the buttocks and balls, and pulled it back forcefully.
However, this also caused his pants to be torn...
Zhao Wei didn't care about anything else. He threw Liu Qian into the carriage and then took the whip from his hand.
"The horse is frightened, hold on tight..."
Zhao Wei tried to control the horse, but this time it was not as easy as during the day. After struggling for a few times, the horse began to stand up and lie down frequently, digging the ground, and a lot of saliva flowed out of its mouth.
It looks like it's sick and it's hard to tell for the moment.
The attack was a little urgent, so Zhao Wei could only take down the carriage, then take down the horse lantern, and carefully observe the condition of the horse.
Liu Qian came over, rubbing his bruised elbow, and said anxiously, "Cousin, what happened to this beast? Is he going to die?"
"I swear, I didn't whip it hard or do anything to it. This matter has nothing to do with me..."
The child was eager to shirk responsibility and spoke with deep emotion.
Zhao Wei rolled his eyes at him speechlessly: "I didn't say it was you who did it. This horse... must have eaten something unclean..."
He took down a bag of hay.
This thing was given to him by the old man from Wujiaping.
There was no careful inspection at the time and the horse was fed with this hay directly.
I fed him three times in total, once at home and twice at the hospital entrance.
He poured out the remaining hay, and after carefully sorting it out, he found a rusty iron nail among it.
This stuff is mixed in with the grass, and the horse can't tell the difference, so it just chews it into its stomach.
If this is true, then it will be very difficult for this horse to recover.
The horse was tired and looked a little listless. If the nail was not resolved quickly, the longer it stayed in its stomach, the more internal injuries it would cause.
"Hiss... Who is this? Feeding a horse with nails, is this something a human would do?"
"I think that person is worse than an animal. It's so infuriating! Such a good horse, what a pity..."
Liu Qian cursed angrily for a few words, then said helplessly: "What should we do now? This horse looks like it can't move anymore!"
He will go crazy at any time and kick his legs in pain. He will not be able to pull the car anymore.
I checked the time and found that we were still half an hour away from Wujiaping. There was no one around and it was really like crying out to the heavens and the earth for help but no one would help.
If anything happened to the horse in his hands, he would be given a serious warning when he returned to the production team.
He was not afraid of these things, but it was a pity that the horse had just reached adulthood and something like this had happened to it. It was so pitiful.
"It's just a nail. It's okay. Just find a way to lure it down."
"You stay here and watch over it. I'll go cut some grass."
He decided to get some laxatives for the horses. In the wild, he could only find some relatively long-growing herbs.
For example, the grass whose leaves look like tires is called wheel grass by the locals. It is beneficial to digestion and promotes intestinal peristalsis.
There is also a kind of grass called Five Elements Grass, which is named because of its green leaves, red stems, yellow flowers, white roots and black seeds. It has similar effects to the wheelbarrow grass.
The reason Zhao Wei knew all this was not because of his experience in his previous life. He was not lucky enough to raise a horse in his previous life.
It was the topics that the older generation brought up when I was walking the dog in the village.
Chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cows, sheep... are the animals that farmers talk about most.
Fortunately, I had a lantern in my hand, so it was not too difficult to find the flowers. In no time, I had cut a large bunch of them.
The horse was originally full, and perhaps the damage from the nails had not yet ruined its appetite, so when it saw the fresh grass, it started eating it instinctively.
During this process, Zhao Wei kept pushing his intestines, hoping that the nail could be excreted through the intestines as soon as possible.
Of course, this is a very long process, and now they can only hope that the horses will not be too uncomfortable and will not delay their next journey.
About ten minutes into the meal, the horse stopped eating. Although still a little irritated, it was obviously no longer reluctant to be harnessed to the carriage.
Liu Qian was now frightened and dared not to control the horse anymore. Instead, he returned this important task to Zhao Wei.
They just didn't expect that if they stayed here for too long, they would end up meeting a group of enemies.
