Chapter 69

Go to the ranch again

Early the next morning.

Fang Xin got up at 5:30 and tried to eat as much as possible for breakfast. After all, he had to work all day and his energy consumption was very high.

But she still brought a few packets of biscuits and bread and stuffed them into her bag.

Keep it for later use.

After finishing the meal, I saw the dog was still eating, "Eat quickly, you go too today."

The dog didn't even lift his head from the food bowl. He just bit the rice in his mouth, barked indistinctly, and ate his meal faster.

Fang Xin put on three layers of clothes inside and three layers outside, and put his coat aside to wear when he went out.

After Fang Xin put on his clothes, Gou Zi finished his meal and took two sips of water with grunts.

He stood up and walked over to Fang Xin and squatted, signaling Fang Xin that he could put clothes on it.

Fang Xin first took a tissue and wiped its mouth.

Then he picked up its white clothes and put them on the dog in no time.

He was very well behaved throughout the whole process and put on his clothes smoothly.

Finally, Fang Xin put on his coat, picked up his gloves and hat, and went out with the dog. Fang Xin put on his gloves and hat as he walked.

I filled the car with gas first, walked around the car to check it, and then got in with the dog.

We drove to my second elder brother’s house and picked up Xiao Kai and Grandpa Li.

The weather is good today, the wind is not too strong, the snow has stopped, and the road is much easier to walk on.

Going out to look for supplies won't be too hard.

Grandpa Li and Xiao Kai stuffed some necessary tools such as snow shovels, shovels, ropes, etc. into the car.

This time the tool belt is complete so there is no need to shovel the snow with bare hands.

After bidding farewell to Grandma Li and Old Man Wang, the three of them set out again to search for supplies.

This time the target location was clear, heading straight to the ranch.

The journey was smooth and we arrived at the ranch in less than two hours.

Grandpa Li and Xiao Kai took down their tools respectively.

Grandpa Li looked at several large snow piles nearby and asked, "Which one should I dig?"

"Grandpa, is it possible that the circle we dug yesterday was not dug completely? There can't be only a few fish in such a large circle."

Grandpa Li's eyes lit up, "You mean there will be more?"

"Yes, I think there is more." Fang Xin nodded and continued to analyze.

"When the temperature drops suddenly, small animals will huddle together to keep warm, and they will all huddle in the corners. Last time we found the sheep in the left corner, this time we will try the other corner."

"Okay." Grandpa Li agreed with Fang Xin's idea and nodded, "Then let's get started."

The three of them worked together to shovel away the thick snow, and the dog ran around beside them.

After shoveling away all the snow, several people began to clear the collapsed bricks and tiles bit by bit, as well as a lot of wood, grass clippings, iron sheets, etc., which should be the roof of the shed.

It took nearly an hour to clear all the collapsed objects, and a sheep's horn was finally revealed.

Xiao Kai shouted excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes, there really is more."

Grandpa Li looked over upon hearing the voice and said, "Great."

Grandpa Li found the sheep's foot and pulled it hard, pulling the whole sheep out of the ruins. "It's a lamb."

When Xiao Kai saw the harvest, his eyes lit up and he kept digging in the rubble until he found another one.

He used both hands to pull the whole sheep out, "Grandpa Li, this is the big one."

"Okay, okay."

The dog ran up, sniffed it, and actually nodded.

Several people didn't pay any attention to the dog's antics.

Full of energy.

The frozen goats were pulled out one by one, and there were 11 goats in total.

The dog went forward and sniffed this and that, and I didn't know what it was smelling.

“Woof woof woof.”

The dog suddenly lowered its head and started barking.

He lowered his head and called out to one sheep, then to that sheep.

The three people didn't understand what was going on and walked forward one after another.

Grandpa Li squatted down and looked at the dog, "What's wrong with Tuntun?"

Fang Xin was also very confused. She bent down and pulled the two sheep out. She thought the dog must have discovered something. She trusted her dog very much.

After a careful inspection, it was found that both sheep had signs of being bitten.

"Grandpa, look, both of these sheep have bite marks."

"Let me see," Grandpa Li stepped forward and carefully examined it. "It's true. There was such a big hole bitten in the stomach and we didn't even notice it."

Fang Xin asked, "Do you still want these two?"

Grandpa Li hesitated a little, "It's okay, even if it was bitten by a rat, it's okay, some places even eat rats!"

"If rats carry germs, then the ones that are served are artificially raised rats or bamboo rats, not just wild-caught rats that can be eaten."

Fang Xin continued patiently, "A dog's nose is very sensitive. It can smell things that we can't. I think there's no need to take the risk. If you really damage your body, it will be very painful."

Grandpa Li heard what Fang Xin said and thought it made sense, so he immediately said, "No, for safety's sake let's not take the risk. If there are bacteria or viruses, people will get sick if they eat it."

In this special period, there is no hospital when you are sick, and you have no idea what disease you have or what medicine to take, and they don’t have any medicine either.

Although he felt very painful and was reluctant to part with these fat pieces of meat, he could not gamble with his life and health.

Fang Xin moved the two sheep aside to avoid confusion.

Grandpa Li took his eyes off the two sheep with great difficulty and patted the dog's head. "Tuntun is great. I'll give you a chicken leg when I get home."

"Woof."

The dog proudly raised its head and wagged its tail, feeling very happy to be praised.

Fang Xin looked at the huge circle in front of him and only dug out a few. It felt a little too little. Could there be many that didn't make it into the circle and were buried somewhere?

But Fang Xin didn't have the patience to look for it. It was a waste of time, so he would just dig out as much as he could.

Grandpa Li and Xiao Kai just felt very happy and lucky that they could find so much meat to eat for a long time.

Especially Xiao Kai and Old Man Wang, whose daily diet was very simple. When they found so much meat all of a sudden, Xiao Kai's eyes were glowing green.

Fang Xin stood up and said, "It's still early, let's continue digging."

"good."

The two of them picked up their shovels and walked towards another big snowdrift.

This time the three of them had some experience, so they started digging from both sides of the snow pile.

Several people shoveled away the thick snow on top and soon dug to the collapsed brick ruins below.

Several people worked together to move the wood of the beams out little by little, and then cleaned the bricks and tiles on it little by little.

Soon a hoof appeared in the brick and cement debris. Grandpa Li quickly started cleaning from that spot. "Yes, yes, this should be a cow's hoof."
