Chapter 76: The Sheep's Medicinal Bath is So Refreshing
Perhaps because the army of sheepdogs has grown, the sheep seem to be more orderly than usual.
In just half an hour, everyone arrived at the nearest medicinal bath spot.
I arrived just before the agreed time and the epidemic prevention officer was already waiting.
Kormu Khan greeted the epidemic prevention worker familiarly, and after a few words, he started the medicinal bath.
Qi Guang didn't expect that just for a sheep medicinal bath, the number of people in the live broadcast room would soar to more than 900,000.
The comments also scrolled quickly, and netizens were still very interested in the sheep's medicinal bath:
Dick Yangzai: Hey, we caught up! I bet this scene must be spectacular!
[By the way, didn't Uncle Kormuhan already wash the sheep before? Why is he washing them again today?]
[Where's the little brother? Call the little brother, we need you~~~]
Qi Guang always paid attention to the comments in the live broadcast room and replied promptly:
"Uncle Kormuhan washed his sheep in the river before just to clean the dirt off the sheep. This time we are preparing to move to a new pasture."
"External parasites on sheep are extremely harmful and can cause symptoms such as itching, anemia, weight loss, and hair loss. The sheep grow unhappy and the herders suffer significant losses."
"Medicinal baths can not only eliminate external parasites in sheep and prevent scabies, but also have the effect of sterilizing and disinfecting, washing away dirt on the sheep's bodies and promoting their growth and development."
Qi Guang pointed the camera at the medicinal bath and continued:
"Look at this cement channel, it's funnel-shaped, usually 10 to 12 meters long, 60 to 80 centimeters wide at the top, 40 to 60 centimeters wide at the bottom, and between 1.0 and 1.2 meters deep."
"The size and shape are very specific. There is a funnel-shaped fence at the entrance, which allows the sheep to enter the bath in sequence without turning around, while ensuring that the medicine can fully contact the sheep's entire body."
"There is a certain slope at the exit, with small steps or horizontal wooden bars on the slope. This not only prevents the sheep from slipping, but also allows them to stay on the slope for a while so that the remaining medicinal liquid on their bodies can flow back into the medicinal bath."
Qi Guang finished his introduction in one breath, and the barrage of comments scrolled faster and faster:
[Sometimes I really have to sigh at the wisdom of human beings, they are worthy of being the most intelligent creatures in the world! ]
[Raising Sheep: The life of herders feels simple and rich, which really attracts me...]
[High energy ahead! Hundreds of sheep are about to enter the public bath!]
Under the guidance of the epidemic prevention staff, they herded the sheep, penned them, put them into the pool, and soaked them, completing a series of operations.
The sheep entered the medicinal bath pool one by one in a very orderly manner, rushed into the pool happily, and splashed countless water.
In the hot weather, everyone who watched it felt a little cool!
The sheep twisted their bodies happily out of the medicinal bath, one by one like dumplings being dropped into the pot, but in an orderly manner.
The whole process is very smooth and fluid——
[Wow, I declare that after hoof repair, medicinal baths are my second biggest video speed bump!]
[Actually, I want to get in there too. It feels so refreshing!!]
The epidemic prevention officer watched the entire process of the sheep bathing and said to Kormuhan beside him:
"Have your sheep had some water in advance?"
"Drink it. Don't forget this."
The epidemic prevention officer nodded in relief and said, "Although you are very familiar with it, I still have to say one more thing. No other vaccines can be given for a week after the medicinal bath."
Khormu Khan smiled and replied:
"Okay, I've got it firmly in mind."
Then he sighed, "Thank you, government! Washing sheep used to be very troublesome for herders, and we had to pay for it ourselves. Now everything is very convenient, and we don't have to spend a penny. You also provide guidance throughout the process, which is really a great help to us herders!"
The epidemic prevention officer smiled and said, "We were born and raised on the grassland. We are all one family. We must help each other. Moreover, we all have the same goal: to protect our grassland and ensure the high-quality development of animal husbandry here."
Kormu Khan's eyes moved slightly. He loved this land so much.
When the last sheep came out of the medicinal bath, the sun moved above everyone's heads.
Qi Guang said to the camera:
"When taking a medicinal bath, Yangyang must choose a good day like today."
After saying goodbye to the epidemic prevention workers, everyone took the freshly dressed sheep to the higher grass area.
Finally, they found a relatively flat area and everyone dismounted.
"Let the sheep eat some grass, and I'll train these little guys some more!"
Kormu Khan looks particularly energetic today.
He led four dogs into the flock of sheep.
Like a big kid leading a group of little kids, hiding in a corner, waiting to suddenly rush out and play a prank on their friends.
The sheep ran around with their fat butts wagging, and Uncle Kormuhan laughed heartily after his success.
I'm still very happy after a little play.
Qi Guang and Lu Cheng were also infected by Uncle Kormuhan's smile, and their smiles never fell.
"Come on, Baba, I'll take you to eat something good!"
Qi Guang and Lu Cheng took Baba and walked towards the bushes not far away.
Baba took the lead, jumping and skipping with great joy!
The two of them also chatted along the way, following Baba.
Lu Cheng asked:
"What preparations do we need to make for the transition?"
"Well... the big things are basically done. I'll go back tonight and make some baursak. Thanks to Aunt Gamina, we've prepared more than ten kilograms of dried meat. As for the luggage, we can leave it to the camels."
“How long will the transition take?”
"We're close, maybe three days or so."
Compared with winter and spring migration, the climate during summer migration is relatively more suitable.
Moreover, on the pastoral road leading to the summer pasture, the scenery is beautiful, the grass and water are abundant, and the livestock can run freely.
Qi Guang actually likes to move to the summer pasture.
Lu Cheng asked again:
"Will your waist be unable to bear riding all the time?"
Qi Guang nodded and said, "Maybe a little. Although mechanized methods of transporting animals are becoming increasingly popular, Uncle Kormuhan is always worried that the vehicles are too heavy and will damage the turf."
"You know, this piece of grass is what he loves most."
"So we will basically still choose the traditional way of relocation. The mountain roads in the summer pastures have many bends and steep slopes, which makes it difficult for vehicles to pass through."
"The traditional way of moving pastures is actually a good exercise for livestock. It can promote their growth and development and enhance their resistance, especially for newborn lambs."
"Yeah, actually this is the most fun way. What are our plans for the afternoon?"
Qi Guang originally wanted to follow yesterday's train of thought to look for Li Jinyang.
There are no clues to follow at the moment, so——
"Nothing planned."
"Then accompany me to the county town?"
Qi Guang asked doubtfully:
"You want to buy something?"
Lu Cheng maintained his smile and said mysteriously:
"Yeah, about the same."
