Grandma Wu pointed to the pigsty, "I haven't looked yet, wait a minute."
Gou Cuifen was so used to the pigsty that Old Lady Wu cleaned that she had almost forgotten about the pungent smell.
"Don't you guys clean the pigsty?"
Gou Cuifen was the first to ask, and the people from Xiayao Village looked at each other and asked, "Cleaning the pigsty?"
Do pigsties even need cleaning? These pigs sleep on dung, and besides, they eat and poop, who can clean it all up?
Is feeding them enough?
Grandma Wu squinted and carefully examined the pigsty in Xiayao Village.
There were quite a few pigs inside, and even a few piglets.
The smaller ones were fine, but the six or seven larger ones had suspicious, hard, dry black excrement stuck to their bristles.
There seemed to be a ring around the long pig snout. Old Mrs. Wu's lips twitched, and a strange thought popped into her mind.
"What did Veterinarian Li say?"
Just to be on the safe side, Grandma Wu decided to ask the people in Xiaoyao Village first to see what Veterinarian Li had to say.
"The veterinarian didn't say anything, just told them to move around a bit. Maybe they were in a bad mood?"
Speaking of this, the person who spoke scratched their head. Pigs eat and sleep, sleep and eat, how can they be in a bad mood? If it were her, she would laugh herself awake.
Old Mrs. Wu pondered what the veterinarian Li had told her; it wasn't just similar, it was exactly the same.
I'm just in a bad mood.
In her opinion, these pigs are self-producing and self-consuming, and they eat too much of their own excrement, so they can't eat the prepared pig feed.
Pig manure has no nutritional value whatsoever; over time, it'll make you lose weight.
"How's it going, Comrade Wu? We've all heard that your pigs died and came back to life, and now they're all plump and round. Can you tell us about it?"
"Yes, we're all from the same village, we see each other all the time, we're all acquaintances."
Seeing that Old Lady Wu remained silent, someone tugged at Gou Cuifen's sleeve, "Cuifen, we're all neighbors, you can't just leave a pig unattended."
Gou Cuifen didn't speak to them. She walked to Old Lady Wu's side and asked in a low voice, "How is it? If it's not working, let's leave."
Grandma Wu rubbed her cheeks. "I'm not a veterinarian, so let me be upfront about this."
"Tell us, tell us. If it really doesn't work, we won't blame you."
Grandma Wu nodded, first pointing to the small mountain of manure piled up behind the pigsty, "All of that needs to be cleaned up, not a single bit can be left." She wondered how long it had been piling up to get this much.
"Cleaning up pig manure? Is that necessary?"
Grandma Wu glanced indifferently at the crowd. "Not going to do it? Then what I say next is useless."
"Do it, do it, do it."
The women in charge of raising the pigs turned their heads and glared at the crowd, trying to find out who was speaking, but they couldn't find out after looking for a long time.
Grandma Wu continued, "Clean the pigsty thoroughly, and continue doing so. Next, we'll make them run around the pigsty all day before feeding them."
Those around were taken aback.
Grandma Wu explained in detail how she raised pigs, without holding anything back, and told them everything clearly.
“Raising pigs is just like raising children. If you do as I say, the pigs will grow to be as plump and white as those in Shangyao Village.”
Gou Cuifen unconsciously puffed out her chest. "That's right."
The murmurs of doubt that had just been heard from the crowd vanished instantly.
Qi Niuhua took in all the looks people were giving Wu Laotai, took a deep breath, and quietly turned to leave.
She had spent so much time on this, not to mention seeing Old Mrs. Wu in such a glamorous state. Finally, she turned her head and glanced at Old Mrs. Wu, who was surrounded by people, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
Night quietly fell, and Qi Niuhua returned to Shangyao Village, tiptoeing over the fence outside Veterinarian Li's house.
These days she has been following Veterinarian Li around to various villages, and she knows exactly what's in his medicine box.
As long as they get his box, Old Lady Wu's pigs are doomed!
Qi Niuhua's eyes flashed with a sharp light. She didn't notice the big black dog in the kennel at all. It sniffed the air and stared straight in her direction with its beady black eyes.
Woof! Woof woof woof!!!
Qi Niuhua had just climbed one leg onto the fence when she was startled and trembled, staring vaguely in the direction the big black dog was barking.
Hey you damn dog, what are you barking about!
Qi Niuhua quickly glanced around the yard, then flipped over and fell into the vegetable garden next to the fence, the barking of the big black dog growing more and more rampant in her ears.
The dark room seemed to sense something was wrong, and suddenly a faint candlelight appeared. At the same time, someone asked, "Who is it?"
Qi Niuhua felt a chill run down her spine, spotted the medicine box in the yard, picked it up, and ran.
With a 'whoosh,' the big black dog tightened the leash around its neck and hissed and bit at Qi Niuhua with reckless ferocity.
Veterinarian Li sensed something was wrong with his big black dog's barking, so he quickened his pace, put on his clothes, and headed outside.
"Who's outside!"
Qi Niuhua had just trampled down a large patch of scallion seedlings in the vegetable garden and climbed over the fence when she was startled by the veterinarian's voice and tumbled outside. At the same time, with a 'rip' sound, cold sweat instantly broke out on Qi Niuhua's forehead.
Hearing the sound of Veterinarian Li pulling at the dog's leash, Ignoring the stinging pain in my calf, I dragged myself away.
As soon as Veterinarian Li led the dog to the door, it was pitch black outside, and there was nothing there.
The big black dog suddenly jumped forward and pulled Veterinarian Li to the fence by the vegetable garden.
'Sniff!'
Smell of blood?
Veterinarian Li looked grave. He pulled the big black dog to the front gate and tied it up. He looked around carefully, but it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.
I only discovered my medicine box was missing the next morning.
"Lost?"
The village secretary looked at the speechless veterinarian Li and asked, "Didn't anything else go missing?"
"No, I've locked the door inside, so he can't get in."
"As long as nothing valuable is lost, that's fine. You can get some more medicine from the medicine box."
Veterinarian Li sighed. "What a madman! Why would he steal my medicine box? It's useless and inedible."
The village party secretary stroked his beard, his face darkening slightly. The fact that a thief had appeared in Shanyao Village, which he was in charge of, was an insult to him.
Fortunately, Veterinarian Li has the habit of locking the door when he goes to sleep at night. If it were a family that doesn't lock the door, and the house was burgled, how would he, the village secretary of Shanyao Village, put his face?
Watching Veterinarian Li's departing figure, he slammed his hand on the table.
Good heavens, you've actually dared to trespass on his territory!
Since Li the veterinarian left the village secretary's house, a patrol team composed of farmers has actually appeared in the village.
Gou Cuifen, lying outside the pigpen, looked at Old Lady Wu with a strange expression and said, "Isn't it strange that the thief went to Veterinarian Li's house and stole his medicine box. Nothing else was lost."
Old Mrs. Wu's brow twitched slightly, and she turned to look at her. "Have people been patrolling at night these past few days because someone stole Veterinarian Li's medicine box?"
"Yes, our Shanyao Village hasn't had a thief like this for many years."
