Tuanzi quickly came over and took a sniff. [Nuannuan, I think I smell poison.]
Yes, the bird is poisoned.
Then, Guadaner picked up the same bird not far from the original bird and gave it to Xu Nuannuan.
"Sister, we can eat our fill this time."
Xu Nuannuan shook her head: "Guadan, this bird died of poisoning. We can't eat it. We will also be poisoned if we eat its meat."
"Poisoned? Who would poison a bird?"
Xu Nuannuan thought about the crops in the fields. "Could it be that the brigade is poisoning the fields to protect them from birds eating them?"
Guadan'er also shook his head, "I've never heard of such a thing."
Xu Nuannuan also felt that this was inefficient and would waste money on medicine.
Then the bird must have eaten something by mistake, perhaps poisoned by someone.
She asked Tuanzi: [Can you smell the ingredients of this poison?]
It's arsenic.
【Arsenic! 】
Arsenic is the main ingredient in rat poison and is very effective in killing rats, but it is also often used to kill people.
She felt that it was more likely that the bird had accidentally eaten rat poison. After all, it was very rare for someone to be poisoned and killed in broad daylight.
"These birds have eaten rat poison by mistake. They can't be eaten."
Guadan was very depressed. He watched the bird meat that was about to reach his mouth fly away. He stared at the bird with his mouth drooling.
But poisoned birds cannot be eaten. For the sake of his own life, he reluctantly threw the two big birds aside, but saw other poisoned birds there. On the ground among these dead birds, there was a piece of white paper that had been pecked to pieces, and there was a small amount of powder remaining next to the white paper.
He quickly called Xu Nuannuan: "Sister, sister, look quickly. There is white flour here, and there are even more dead birds here. Did the birds die from eating these? Are these poisons?"
Guadaner said this to himself, and the terrified expression on his face showed how scared he was.
Xu Nuannuan hurried over with Tuanzi. Tuanzi smelled arsenic and told Xu Nuannuan.
The few dead birds here obviously ate the arsenic on the ground. Because they ate too much, they died quickly without even flying away.
Xu Nuannuan pinched a corner of the torn paper and carefully picked it up to examine it. She found a symbol on the back of the white paper, a red circle with a star inside.
It looked like the logo of some kind of organization, but she couldn't figure out whether it was just that, someone had stenciled it there at random.
This is arsenic, not just rat poison.
Arsenic is a special drug that is strictly controlled. Ordinary people cannot buy it at all. If they want to buy it, they can only go to the black market.
Who would buy arsenic and put it here?
It is also possible that this packet of medicine was brought by a bird. Then, who would be so careless as to let a bird take away their medicine? What was the purpose of this person buying arsenic?
Killing people?
Who would be so bold?
A series of questions left Xu Nuannuan temporarily confused.
The autumn harvest was about to begin. After work, the team leader gathered everyone at the threshing ground for a meeting. Whether they were educated youth or team members, they all had two days of rest. After the rest, the autumn harvest would officially begin.
The crops are growing well this year, and the yield is expected to be much higher than last year. The team leader was very excited during the meeting, and the harvest is just around the corner.
After the meeting, the villagers went back home.
Xu Nuannuan found the team leader and gave him some advice.
"Uncle, winter is coming soon after autumn, and the animals on the farm will have no more green grass or tender leaves to eat."
"Yes, that's why we worry every winter. We can only eat some licorice. As for food, who would be willing to feed it to animals? Otherwise, the pigs and sheep in our brigade are not very fat."
"Uncle Captain, I have a way to allow the animals to eat fresher feed even in winter."
The captain immediately became interested. "Xu Zhiqing, I knew you had a lot of ideas. What do you have in mind? Tell me now."
"Uncle, actually, it means taking advantage of the fact that the grass and leaves are still green and storing them using a special method to ensure their freshness and nutrition as much as possible. This method is called silage.
Of course, the green plant stalks cut down by our brigade in the autumn, such as corn and sorghum, as well as peanut and sweet potato vines, and weeds in the fields, can all be used as silage.
Silage not only preserves the nutrients in green plants, but also eliminates some toxins in them, which is very beneficial to animals."
"Silage!" The team leader was extremely excited when he heard about this method. "This is the first time I've heard of such feed. Xu Zhiqing, you are really a capable person.
So how is this feed made? In the past, to prevent the cut plants from spoiling, they were specially dried. The technology required to make silage must be quite complex.
"It's actually not that difficult. All you have to do is pile these plants together and isolate them from the air."
Next, Xu Nuannuan explained in detail to the team leader the method of making silage, and the team leader seemed to have been enlightened after hearing it.
"That's a really good idea! Why didn't we think of it before? Well, it's good to be well-educated. You're much better than us old men who can only do physical work. I've been doing farm work for half my life, and I'm still not as good as you, a little girl from the city.
Okay, when we start working, I will hold a meeting to tell everyone about this matter, and we will all start preparing silage for our team's pigs and sheep.
