But Qin Xiaomi was still afraid that Grandpa Qin would be kicked away by the horse, so she said to Old Man Xun: "Is the medicine ready? Give it to the horse."

"Okay." Old Man Xun took out the medicine bag with black and red markings and gave the black-spotted medicine bag to Grandpa Qin and the others: "Antidote, rub it into your nose."

After Grandpa Qin understood, he hurriedly said, "Are you going to drug the mare to make her faint? No, it will be very uncomfortable when it wakes up."

Qin Xiaomi: "Grandpa, either you give the mare medicine or you don't treat the mare's sick hoof. Choose one of the two. Or I can help you choose, which is not to treat it. There are many bacteria in the sick hoof. If people come into contact with it and get infected, it will be terrible."

Qin Xiaomi became more and more frightened as she spoke, and finally said seriously, "Grandpa, don't do it. Let Old Man Xun take the lead."

"..." Old Xun was so angry that his beard stood up. He glared and wanted to swear, but he still had to rely on Qin Xiaomi for his old age and could not afford to offend her, so he could only shut up.

Jiang Dalang said, "Grandpa Qin, use the sleeping pills. When the effect of the pills wears off, we can help the mare stand up. She won't be affected too much by the pills. But you can't make any mistakes. It's almost the New Year, and my second uncle and second aunt have just returned."

Grandpa Qin was a man who listened to advice, and he finally agreed: "Okay, use the medicine."

After saying that, he quickly used the antidote, comforted the mare for a long time, apologized to it, and then let Old Man Xun give the mare the medicine.

Soon, the medicine took effect. The mare struggled and neighed a few times, but she could not bear the sleepiness and her voice gradually became smaller. When she was about to lose consciousness, Jiang Dalang and the drugstore clerk supported her and slowly put her on the ground covered with hay.

The clerk in the drug store brought out the files, machetes, powders, stoves and other items that were prepared to treat hoof diseases.

Grandpa Qin picked up the tool, got a feel for it in his hands, and said to Jiang Dalang, "Dalang, Grandpa Qin taught you this, so you will be the one helping Grandpa Qin this time."

"Hey." Jiang Dalang responded and said to Qin Xiaomi, "Xiaomi, the inside of this hoof is rotten. Stay away and don't look at it."

"It's okay, I'm not sick." Qin Xiaomi didn't leave, but stood by and watched.

Seeing that she didn't leave, Jiang Dalang guessed the reason and didn't panic. After putting on gloves, he concentrated on helping Grandpa Qin trim the hoof with a file. After finding the lesion, he used a machete to dig inside the hoof. After cleaning out all the pus, blood and rotten flesh in the hoof, he washed the hoof with medicine, sterilized the wound with fire, sprinkled medicine powder on it, and wrapped the diseased hoof with linen gauze.

"Grandpa, hurry up and wash your hands with the medicine." Qin Xiaomi scooped up the medicine and washed Grandpa Qin's hands, then called Jiang Dalang: "Come over and wash your hands too."

Although I wore gloves, there were too many fungi. If I didn't wash my hands with medicine, my hands would rot once they were infected!

"Hey." Jiang Dalang was very happy. After taking off his gloves, he stretched out his hands and asked Qin Xiaomi to wash him.

Following Qin Xiaomi's request, he soaked it in the new medicine bucket for half a quarter of an hour before finishing.

Grandpa Qin was worried about the horse and asked, "Xiaomi, how long will it take for the horse to wake up?"

Qin Xiaomi smiled: "Grandpa is old and confused. Give him the antidote now and he will wake up now."

"Haha, Grandpa is really old." Grandpa Qin laughed and urged Qin Xiaomi to give the horse the antidote.

Old Man Xun was very tactful. He immediately smeared the antidote powder on the horse's nostrils and called Jiang Dalang and the medicine shop staff, "Come here and help the horse up."

"Yeah." Jiang Dalang and the others came over and stood still, waiting for the horse to wake up. They waited for another half a quarter of an hour. After the horse regained its strength, they helped it stand up together.

The mare didn't know what was going on and let out a few puffs of air from her nostrils in dissatisfaction.

Grandpa Qin looked at the mare who had recovered her spirits, and his old face was full of smiles. He stroked the mare and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to treat your hoof. You should take good care of your injury. This time you must heal the injured hoof."

Qin Xiaomi asked: "Grandpa, will it be okay this time?"

This horse's hoof has been repaired twice. If it doesn't get better, the hoof will be ruined, and her family will lose two hundred taels of silver!

Jiang Dalang said, "Grandpa Qin dug out the lesion very thoroughly, it will definitely heal this time."

Grandpa Qin nodded in agreement: "Da Lang is right, this time it will probably be fine."

Qin Xiaomi: “That’s good.” As long as there’s no loss.

Qin Xiaomi told Grandpa Qin about Wu Xingzong again: "Grandpa, we have been going back to the inn through the back door recently. If he catches us, you can say that you don't know him. Don't help strangers carry things. Anyway, we haven't seen him."

"There's this matter?" Grandpa Qin stayed at Wu Ze Pharmacy last night, so he didn't know about this matter: "Okay, Grandpa will listen to you."

He had experienced a lot of things and always felt that Village Chief Wu was not a good person, so he didn't want to get familiar with the Wu family at all.

"But it's unintentional. We still have a few days before leaving the city, and I'm afraid I can't escape." Grandpa Qin was a little worried.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. He can't get to our house." Qin Xiaomi smiled, and when Grandpa Qin was a little scared, she said, "Grandpa, let's go back to the inn and come back to see the horses tomorrow."

"Okay." Grandpa Qin was worried about the injured horse, so he gave detailed instructions to Old Man Xun before taking the carriage back to the inn.

He still entered from the back door. After arriving at the guest house, Grandpa Qin hurriedly knocked on the door of the main house. Xiao Mutong came to open the door. After Grandpa Qin entered the house, Uncle Qin opened the box and let him see the gold.

Grandpa Qin was relieved and said, "It's already the twelfth lunar month now. Let's get ready and go back to the village in a few days... I won't feel at ease if I don't bring this back to the village and divide it up soon."

Once the money is divided, each family will hide it for themselves, and no matter what happens, their family will not be responsible.

"Dad, how is our horse? Is it still good?" Uncle Qin asked about the horse and complained, "Why buy a horse when we can just buy two donkeys? Not only is it expensive, but we have to spend a lot of time and effort to take care of it. If it dies, we have to go to the government office to cancel the deed. It's so troublesome."

Grandpa Qin said, "Don't you know the benefits of raising horses? Stop talking nonsense. Anyway, it's not a loss to buy this horse."

Grandpa Qin had been a soldier, so he knew that during a war, as long as your family had horses, you wouldn't have to send any men to fight the enemy.

The Northeastern state is a border state, and he was afraid of it, so when he saw a good and cheap horse, he gritted his teeth and bought it.

Qin Xiaomi said, "Don't worry, Uncle, the two horses were bought by me and Grandpa. I didn't use your Second Branch's money. They have nothing to do with your Second Branch."

Uncle Qin choked and swung his sleeves, saying, "I can't argue with you two, grandparents. I'm going to the kitchen to check on the dinner and pick up a chicken for you to eat."

After saying that, he pulled Jiang Dalang and ran away.

When he came back, he was blocked by Qin Xiaomi on the small road in the guest house.

Qin Xiaomi waved at them: "Come here."

Uncle Qin came running over with a lunch box in his hand and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly, so as not to delay your uncle's dinner."

Qin Xiaomi waited for Jiang Dalang to come over and then told him what happened in a low voice.

Uncle Qin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take the job, but I have to pay you."

No money, no deal.

boom!

Qin Xiaomi raised her foot and stepped heavily on Uncle Qin's shoe: "You and I are uncle and nephew, blood relatives, and I'm doing a small thing, and you still want money?"

Uncle Qin jumped up and down in pain, cursing, "You little bitch, this is a risky thing to do, and it's so cold now, do you want us to blow the cold wind for nothing? Also, these are new shoes your grandfather bought for me, they are very expensive, if I step on them and break them, you have to pay for it."

"One penny as hard work fee. Get it done tonight." Qin Xiaomi gave Uncle Qin one penny of change.

Uncle Qin's face twitched, but he still snatched the silver and said, "Okay, let's put that guy in a sack tonight. He definitely won't be able to come tomorrow."

Jiang Dalang also had the same idea and assured: "Don't worry, Xiaomi, we will get it done."
