After arriving in the backyard, Qiao An'an realized that the reason the little pig was making noises was because it had given birth to babies.
Wow, my New Year's wish came true so quickly!!!
The mother pig gave birth to four chubby little piglets, who are now snuggling under her for warmth.
Qiao An'an tried hard to recall the contents of the book "Postpartum Care of Sows". The book said to prepare the farrowing house in advance, but it was no longer necessary after the sow had given birth. However, the book said to take measures to keep the sow and piglets warm, which had to be done immediately.
It got cold last night, super cold.
So Qiao An'an called Chi Xiaoyu and Gu Bei, who followed behind, to go and collect corn stalks. While collecting the corn stalks, Qiao An'an asked everyone to pull out the dry ones from the pile so that they would be warmer to use as mats for the little pigs.
The temperature dropped drastically last night. Qiao An'an and the others were wearing down jackets and still felt cold. She was worried that the little piglets wouldn't be able to withstand it.
After laying down the corn stalk mats, Qiao An'an went back and found a few old clothes she didn't want and put them on the mats to keep the piglets warm.
After doing all this, Gu Bei wanted to go back and pick some sweet potato leaves to feed the little pig: "It must be starving."
But Qiao An'an stopped her: "The sow who has just given birth cannot eat. She can only be fed warm water diluted with 1% salt water. The more warm water, the better."
Gu Bei was surprised: "But it's been hungry all night..."
Grandpa Gu Bei also came over with Ya Ya at this time, carrying a bucket of light salt water: "Your Aunt An An is right. The sow loses a lot of body fluid when she gives birth, and is prone to fatigue and thirst. At this time, you need to provide her with plenty of warm water to drink, but you can't give her anything to eat. You can only give her some liquid food 8 hours after giving birth."
Gu Bei seemed to understand, but not quite.
As Grandpa Gu Bei poured warm water into the feeding trough, he said to Qiao An'an, "I didn't realize you knew all this."
Qiao An'an waved her hand: "I don't know either, I just read it in a book!"
As expected, the mother pig was thirsty, and as soon as the water was poured into the trough, she drank quite a lot of it.
After settling the sow and piglets, Grandpa Gu Bei said he was going to cook some porridge to give to the sow at noon: "The porridge needs to cool down before it can be fed to the pig. I have to cook it in advance to prevent it from squealing from hunger later."
Qiao An'an found it a bit strange: "The pig mother squealed for a while, but why didn't we hear the zombies on the road make any moves?"
After Qiao An'an said that, Grandpa Gu Bei seemed to have thought of something: "When I was boiling water just now, I heard the sound of a car across the street. Could it be that when the pigs squealed, the people in the opposite community went out to look for supplies, which is why the zombies didn't attack our courtyard?"
That seems to make sense.
But Qiao An'an still felt something was wrong: "Their small courtyard used to have forty or fifty people, but now there are only a dozen or so. They even brought back four truckloads of supplies. And now it has rained for several days in a row, so they have stored enough water. Logically speaking, they don't lack supplies right now, so why do they still need to go out and search for supplies?"
Qiao An'an had just finished speaking.
A woman's scream suddenly rang out from the street.
Everyone sensed something was wrong and hurried back to the courtyard, running up to the second floor to look towards the road.
But then a UNICAT TC59 off-road motorhome from Germany appeared on the road. It is probably the most expensive motorhome in the world, with a price of 80 million.
The UNICAT TC59 chassis uses a MAN TGM 18.330 all-wheel drive chassis and is equipped with four Michelin military truck tires, size 395/85R20, making it capable of handling any terrain with ease.
The car is currently parked at the entrance of the residential complex across the street.
The woman's scream came from some zombies who climbed onto the RV's window by stepping on the corpses of their companions. Although the window was made of bulletproof glass, the person inside couldn't help but scream as they watched the zombies pounding on it. Hearing the scream, the zombies outside pounded on the window even harder.
At this moment, the people inside opened the roof of the RV, intending to enter the community through the roof.
Four people came out of the room. One of them was a man in his forties. Perhaps because of his wealth, the man was not greasy at all despite being over forty, and he was in a pretty good shape.
A woman in her thirties.
The woman wore a clean, light-colored long down jacket over a fitted, custom-made dress, and her makeup was exquisite, making her seem somewhat out of place in this post-apocalyptic world.
A chubby seven or eight-year-old boy and a lean, wiry-looking old man in his sixties or seventies.
When Chi Xiaoyu saw the people in the RV in the courtyard, her face immediately darkened.
At this moment, the residents of the community had also arrived at the entrance. Li Jianguo and Qi Feng, who were the first to climb onto the roof of the truck, immediately brandished their guns: "What do you want to do in our community?!"
The woman in her thirties was so frightened by the dark muzzle of the gun that she hid behind the man.
The gaunt old man pointed at Li Jianguo and Qi Feng and began to curse, "What do you mean 'your neighborhood'? This is our neighborhood too! My son owns an entire building in this neighborhood!!!"
Li Jianguo disliked this mean-looking old man and snorted coldly.
Qi Feng was the type who never let himself be taken advantage of. He glanced at the old man and said, "A whole building? You really know how to make things up!!!"
Although the old man had been poor for half his life, his son's success allowed him to enjoy wealth and honor in his later years, and also earned him a lot of respect in front of the villagers.
