Farmer's ancient daily life

The ewe has been pregnant for several months, and now is the time for the calf to be born.It is a good thing for ewes to give birth, but troubles also follow.

Uncle really can't solve the things in front of him.For the sheep he raised before, the ewes had to rely on their own efforts to give birth, and he couldn't help much, but Aduqin once said that he would deliver the animals, and with him, the ewe should be able to survive.

After all, the livestock on the prairie are precious, and Uncle is willing to keep one more sheep.

"Let me see what's going on." A Duqin knelt down and touched the ewe's belly with his hands.

The stomach is swollen, and there is still some movement from time to time.A Duqin didn't think much, and said, "Uncle, the ground here is too cold, why don't you move it to a warmer place?"

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away." Uncle Ah agreed in a hurry, turned around and went to the house, preparing to take Fang Lili's nest for emergency.

Fanglili always enjoys it. Its nest is bigger than that of Rhubarb's family. Now it is borrowed to make a temporary nest for ewes.

As for whether it will get angry, uncle has already thought of a countermeasure.In a few days, I will make a new nest for Fang Lili and Rhubarb. They have been at home for so long, and it is time to replace them with new ones.

After making up his mind, uncle squatted down and discussed the matter with Fang Lili: "I'll change you to a bigger house tomorrow, can I just give you the old one? Is it possible?"

"Hey!" Fang Lili narrowed his eyes, lying on the ground very reluctantly: "Hey!"

"Sure, that's what we've agreed on. I'll make you a new one tomorrow, and you can sleep in the room today."

After taking away his beloved nest in front of Fang Lili, Fang Lili lost interest in the old nest, instead ran to Fang Mingfeng's room, jumped on the spot, and jumped onto Fang Mingfeng's bed.

Uncle put Fang Lili's nest in the dry woodshed, and turned to call Fang Mingfeng and A Duqin: "Clean it up, let me carry it."

His clothes got dirty while working, and he came to take the ewe to the nest, and he could clean the clothes of the two children.

After that, Uncle A was ready to bend down to pick up the ewe, but a sheep with a cub in its mouth couldn't stand upright and lay down, the weight was not something he, an old man, could bear.

What's more, uncle flinched before, so he couldn't hug him anymore.

Pushing hard, pushing hard again, Uncle slowly let go of the hand holding the sheep, and said angrily: "Ming Feng, it's better for you to come."

Fang Mingfeng nodded and said, "Okay."

He picked up the lying down ewe, and then walked towards the woodshed.While walking, I also thought: Fortunately, my body is getting stronger and stronger now, otherwise, with my weak body at the beginning, it would be difficult to hold a lamb, let alone a ewe with a calf.

The yard is not big, and you can walk to the place in two steps.

A Duqin saw something in the ewe's belly turning around, the movement was really not small, he watched Fang Mingfeng put the ewe in the nest on the ground, and felt a little strange for a while.

This...why does this nest look more and more familiar?

A Duqin thought and thought, such a big and comfortable nest, probably only Fang Lili in the family can have it.I just don't know how Uncle Uncle negotiated with it, but Fang Lili was able to agree.

Thinking of "baa", A Duqin looked at the ewe lying down, turned around and looked at Uncle A, and said, "Uncle A, you go to bed first, I'm afraid you will stay up until midnight tonight, I'm going That's it."

"That's right." Fang Mingfeng also persuaded Uncle, "It's fine to have me and Aduqin here, Uncle, you can go back and rest."

Uncle looked at the sheep lying on the ground, then looked at the sincere eyes of the two, nodded, and said to A Duqin: "Okay, if there is anything, just let Ming Feng call me."

He was indeed a little tired. Although he didn't go out much today, he was old and couldn't stay up all night.Now it's just Haishi, and I'm already yawning.If the sheep hadn't started howling suddenly, he would have been lying on the bed by now.

"Uncle, don't worry."

Seeing Uncle leave, the two feel more at ease.Since Uncle's waist flashed last year, he has experienced frequent discomfort in his body. It is not an unbearable ailment, but this kind of minor illness and injury that seems to be absent often begins to appear.

Such as back pain and leg pain, such as dim eyesight.The two also often advised Uncle to rest more and take care of his body.

On a rainy and moonlit night in spring, there was a gust of wind blowing outside the window, and there was a faint fire in the house.

Taking advantage of the bright light, Aduqin carefully checked the condition of the ewe. He knelt down on the ground and stroked it carefully to make it feel at ease.

Holding the torch, Fang Mingfeng asked, "How's the situation? Can I do something?"

"Now we have to wait and let it give birth by itself first. If it really can't give birth, I will help it, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable."

"Then sit down and rest, you'll be tired later." Fang Mingfeng handed him a small stool, and sat down by himself.

The rain in spring was so urgent that the patter never stopped.Hearing the sound of raindrops, Fang Mingfeng said suddenly: "The last time I went to the town fair, I foolishly said that you and my uncle lived in the same room. I didn't think too much about it at that time, so don't blame me."

"Ah?" A Duqin was a little surprised: "When did you say that? I didn't worry about it."

These days, he was able to understand some of their previous affairs from the past that uncle talked about. He knew that Fang Mingfeng's mind was chaotic, and he could understand Fang Mingfeng's strange things and strange words.

Fang Mingfeng let out a sigh of relief: "That's good, as long as you don't blame me. I didn't know what was going on in my heart at the time, but I suddenly made a fool of myself. It won't be like this in the future."

"Ah."

There was another moment of silence between the two, not knowing what to say.

Fang Mingfeng chattered and said, "I'm going to pick wild vegetables in a few days, where should I go? Or go to the woods?"

There was a plain nearby, and the only place he could think of was the woods.The ground is full of flowers and plants, wild vegetables should not grow among the grass, right?Fang Mingfeng thought uncertainly.

"It's all right, there are also over the woods, and there are also on the ground."

"On the ground?"

"Yeah, wild vegetables grow everywhere, and you can dig a lot of them at will."

Fang Mingfeng nodded and remained silent.

Not long after, the ewe started bleating again, and A Duqin hurriedly got up to look, just in time to see a naked lamb struggling in the nest.

A Duqin exclaimed: "Come and see, the lamb is born."

"Really!" Hearing what he said, Fang Mingfeng immediately stood up and moved closer to the ewe to have a look.

The newborn lamb is wet and needs to be licked by its mother, but obviously, the ewe doesn't have time to lick its fur at the moment, and it is busy giving birth to a cub.

After another incense stick of time, I went to see again, and the ewe had given birth to all the cubs.A Duqin counted with his fingers, and finally said: "No wonder it can't give birth to cubs, this litter has three babies, isn't it uncomfortable!"

Ordinary sheep can only have two children in a litter, or they are directly only children.But this ewe gave birth to three cubs, two of which had already started to suckle, and only one was so weak that she couldn't even stand up, let alone compete for milk with her brother.

A Duqin sent the lamb to the ewe, wanting the ewe to accept her cub, and by the way, help it lick its hair and nurse it.

But the ewe didn't care about the sick cub at all, and only cared about raising the other two healthy cubs.

A Duqin was anxious, but there was no other way.Maybe it's because it's been held in the womb for a long time, and the lamb's body is still covered with a layer of membrane, which is bloodshot.

Seeing that the ewe was determined not to want the lamb, Aduqin could only sigh, stretched out his hand to peel off the film on the lamb, and wiped the marks on it with a dry cloth.

The smell was not good, but Aduqin still endured it.This lamb...he can save it if he can, he will do his best.

But before that, he had to warm up the lamb.This kind of spring night is still a little cold, it has been raining, and there is a cool air inside and outside the house. He is afraid that the newborn lamb will freeze to death.

A Duqin hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Is there anything warmer here?"

"To keep warm?" Fang Mingfeng gave him the old clothes that were discarded the year before, "This fabric is useless, so it has been thrown here in the firewood room. Can it be used?"

"Yes, yes." A Duqin took it over, wrapped the lamb in his arms, and Fang Mingfeng said, "This ewe probably thinks it is too weak, so I don't want to feed it, so I have to give it to him first." Give me some water to drink, and talk about other things in the morning."

"Alright." Fang Mingfeng knew that the ewe abandoned this lamb only because it was too weak. In nature, the strong survive. It is rare to have three lambs in one litter like this, so it is no wonder that the ewe abandoned one of them.

He himself doesn't understand these things, and Aduqin's family used to be herdsmen, so they naturally know more than him.

The little lamb's eyes hadn't opened yet, and when he encountered a warm place, he burrowed into his arms with all his strength, which made Aduqin a little dumbfounded.The lamb is black and white, its head and four hooves are black, and the rest are white.

"It's still a little blackhead! Hahahaha." Fang Mingfeng looked at the other two cubs in the ewe's arms, one was white and the other was white with a little black.

Why do the cubs born in one litter look different?Could it be that the more ink there is, the more ink there is?

After half-forcing the ewe to feed the cubs some milk, Aduqin hugged the freshly baked lamb and prepared to go back to the room.The little lamb was already sound asleep at this time, with its big ears drooping.

It was already midnight, and the two of them couldn't stand it any longer, so they all went back to their respective rooms.

Before Fang Mingfeng went back, he deliberately said to A Duqin: "If there is anything in the middle of the night, just knock on my door. I'm a light sleeper, so I can hear you."

A Duqin hugged the lamb and nodded seriously, "Okay."

When he got up early the next day, Uncle rushed out to find the two of them: "How was yesterday? How many lambs were born?"

A Duqin held a lamb in his arms, and said with a smile: "I gave birth to three lambs, and the one in my arms is weak. The ewe doesn't want it, so I will feed it something to eat and put it by my side."

"Three cubs, no wonder." Uncle Ah thought about the cubs that died in the flock before, and it was not surprising that the ewe would make such a choice, "Then do you want to raise this little lamb? If you can't raise it Even if we live, there is nothing we can do."

"Yes, I'll keep it." A Duqin stroked the head of the lamb in his arms.After a night, its fur is dry.Due to physical reasons, he had just opened his eyes, but his four hooves were still unable to run on the ground.

Such a little lamb, if it is not good to take care of it, it will definitely not survive.
