Chapter 362 Treatment of Ox Hoof
[This is easy. Describe the cow's symptoms to me later and do as I say.]
[The mangoes haven't been sold out yet. That's great. Gu Qinghan, can you tell the old man to go back to Lin'an County and deliver them to your small courtyard? I'll pick them up. You can pay for them and I'll pay you back later.]
[Ayuan, are you so happy to find mangoes?] Gu Qinghan raised his lips slightly, and could hear the joy in Xuyuan's words, and asked with a bit of sourness.
[Yeah, I’m happy! Gu Qinghan, let me tell you, you can also try eating mangoes this way…] Xu Yuan took the opportunity to tell Gu Qinghan how to eat mangoes.
Gu Qinghan was a little surprised to hear this unprecedented way of eating mangoes. Seeing the green fruits all over the ground, he thought that mangoes were magical in that not only could they be eaten green, but also ripe ones.
[Well, I'll give it a try.]
When Gu Qinghan came out this time, he even brought the pot and seasonings with him. Although there were no fresh peppers, there were crushed dried peppers.
The three of them picked up the scattered mangoes on the ground, and Gu Qinghan squatted down and looked at the cow.
There were no wounds on his body, he just lay on the ground and refused to get up. I thought he was hungry, but when I looked at the surrounding weeds, I saw that most of their leaves had disappeared, and there were still traces of fresh leaves. I knew it was not a problem of hunger.
Li Junyong also came forward, looked around the cow, shook his head, and was at a loss as to what to do.
"Uncle Zhong, is it that no matter how hard you try to lead the cow, it won't move?"
"Yes, it was stumbling when it walked, but I looked at the cow's hooves and nothing was wrong." Zhao Zhong replied, touching the cow's head.
The cow just mooed and lay down.
Gu Qinghan took a look at the cow's hooves, which were covered in mud and it was impossible to tell whether they were good or bad. He told Xu Yuan the general situation.
[Can't walk smoothly? Is there something wrong with the cow's hooves?]
Xu Yuan remembered that he was able to buy the big flower because he couldn't walk, but in fact it was just a wound in the cow's hoof. He just needed to scrape it open with a knife, find the painful area and apply medicine.
Xu Yuan told the method to Gu Qinghan, who was stunned. As expected, he encountered many magical things when he was with Xu Yuan.
"Uncle Zhong, maybe there's something wrong with the cow's hoof. Do you have a hatchet?"
"Yes, I'll give it to you."
"By the way, Junyong, take the wooden bucket and fetch some water from the woods." Gu Qinghan knew that there was a stream in the forest, flowing down from the mountains. The cow's hooves were too dirty, so they had to be washed.
"No problem." Li Junyong knew that Gu Qinghan had a way, and he was worthy of being the man that Xu Yuan liked.
Li Junyong came back quickly with a full bucket of water. The water was a little turbid, but it did not affect its use.
Zhao Zhong came over to comfort the cow, and after much persuasion he managed to pull the cow up and tried to walk a few steps.
Gu Qinghan noticed that the cow didn't dare to use its left hind leg to walk. After just a light step, the cow stopped moving.
"Uncle Zhong, let me take a look at its left hind leg. It's the left hind leg that has a problem."
"Really? Look at the look in my eyes. Oh, I'm so sorry, old friend, I didn't notice it." Zhao Zhong said with some annoyance.
Gu Qinghan tied up the cow according to the method he had wished for. Li Junyong lifted the cow's hoof, Gu Qinghan poured water, and Zhao Zhong took a brush made of a bundle of weeds and brushed the hoof clean.
"Is this the reason?" Li Junyong saw a small stone stuck deeply into the embedded cow's hoof. Just imagine that there is a stone stuck in the sole of your foot, and you don't deal with it, but walk around every day. Just thinking about it will make you realize how painful it is.
[Ayuan, there was a stone stuck in the cow's hoof, this must be the reason.]
[Okay, as long as you see the problem, I'll leave the Mango issue to you. Just take care of it first. I have other things to do. I'm disconnecting now.]
[good. ]
Coming back to his senses, Gu Qinghan confirmed what Li Junyong said. The hatchet was not needed now, so Zhao Zhong took out a dagger. Going out alone, Zhao Zhong had prepared many self-defense tools a long time ago, but he didn't expect that they would come in handy now.
Gu Qinghan took it and began to pick out the stone embedded in the cow's hoof, but unfortunately it was already deeply embedded in the hoof. There was no other way, so Gu Qinghan could only scrape away the keratin around it. The cow seemed to know that these people were here to help it cure its illness. Except for some struggles at the beginning, after being patted on the head by Li Junyong, it became obedient and did not move again.
After scraping the surrounding cuticle to a certain extent and picking it up with the tip of the knife, the stone that was originally stuck tightly finally loosened. Gu Qinghan exerted force and picked up the stone.
A small hole was left on the hoof. Gu Qinghan did not stop and peeled off the blackened keratin. Then he scraped the keratin near the hole to make sure there was no inflamed wound. Then he shaved the entire hoof smooth.
The dagger was sharp, and Gu Qinghan dealt with it quickly.
He signaled Li Junyong to put down the cow's hoof. When the hoof touched the ground, the cow tried to walk, and it was obviously much more relaxed than before.
Li Junyong was amazed by what he saw.
"Gu boy, is it okay now? No need to apply medicine or anything?" Zhao Zhong asked with a look of delight and some confusion on his face.
"No need, Uncle Zhong, you saw that there was no inflamed or festering wound in the cow's hoof. Fortunately, it was discovered early and is not serious."
Zhao Zhong nodded, that was indeed the case.
I just didn't expect that in my entire life, this was the first time I realized that a cow's hooves are fragile.
"Gu boy, this is your reward." Zhao Zhong took out a tattered purse from his arms, took out two strings of copper coins and handed them to Gu Qinghan.
"You don't need so much." Gu Qinghan only took five copper coins and returned the rest to Zhao Zhong. He originally wanted to take it, but Zhao Zhong might not agree out of emotional and logical reasons, so he just gave it as a token of his appreciation.
"By the way, Uncle Zhong, how much are you selling these mangoes for?"
"No need, just take as much as you want." Zhao Zhong took back the purse, took out a small basket from the cart, picked and chose in the sackcloth bag, and selected some big mangoes and put them in the basket.
"Uncle Zhong, it's like this. I don't want just some of them, I want them all. I want to give some to my friends, and I need you, Uncle Zhong, to help me deliver them to this address." Gu Qinghan first went back to the carriage, then took down a note.
"Gu kid, just tell me where to send it. I can't read, so it's useless to hold this note."
Gu Qinghan explained it to Zhao Zhong verbally and handed him the note, "Take it. If you don't remember it, you can ask someone. This is silver."
