Chapter 12: The Cow's Roar
"Since Mr. Tang cares so much about his reputation, how can he still teach you such a biased way as a veterinarian?" After all, Liu Ertiao is a person who has studied private school for two days, and his head is much more flexible than Lao Liu, and he also has some concepts of respect and inferiority in the hearts of contemporary readers.
Everything is inferior, for there is a high level of reading.
In this era, veterinarian was a very humble profession, and his status was even lower than that of a serious farmer.
"That's because Zhu Zhishan, a very famous veterinarian, is a fellow villager with Mr. Tang, and once used this method to save Mr. Tang's favorite pet green cow. Of course, these are all things that Mr. Tang talked about when he was chatting with me. Liu Yiyi casually pulled out another mountain of wishes.
"Then is the wearing of a cow's nose what you said also the veterinarian's prescription?" Liu was very moved. He doesn't care if his status is low or not, whoever can bring him tangible benefits is a good person.
Zhu Zhishan is undoubtedly a good person in Lao Liu's mind.
Liu Yiyi nodded profoundly, and said: "The cow's nose is the most vulnerable part of the cow's body, and it is also the place where the cow's pain nerves are most concentrated. ”
Master, the words spoken are so incomprehensible.
The two men of the old Liu family, one big and one young, were dizzy by Liu's slightly modern words.
"Then let's wear it too, a veterinarian who can cure intestinal disease, I believe!" Lao Liu finally made up his mind.
Liu Yiyi said: "Okay, I'll go and prepare now, I guess I can get dressed in the afternoon." ”
The nose ring, iron bars, stoves, boiling water, liquor, cotton cloth, a few simple things make up all the tools of Yanagijo's operation. This is the earthwork used in some modern rural areas, red-hot iron bars, high liquor, no anesthetics, no anti-inflammatory drugs, although the method is somewhat inhumane, but I have not heard of a precedent for cattle being pierced to death.
Liu Yiyi handed the wooden stick that had been prepared earlier to Liu Laoshi, and said, "Dad, hit the handle, shine on the cow's head, and knock it out." ”
"This, one, are you sure you want to fight? What if this stick is beaten to death, it will be a lawsuit. "Liu Laoshi doesn't dare to do it with a wooden stick, usually the baby cow is too late, who dares to hit it?
"Yes, big brother, deliberately hurting the ploughing cattle will go to prison." Liu Erjo also interjected on the side.
Liu Yiyi then remembered that in this era, the life of a cow is more precious than a person, and the sin of killing a cow is no less than killing, no wonder Lao Liu's face has always been so ugly just now.
In this way, Liu Yiyi reached out again to ask for the wooden stick back, pushed Liu Laoshi and Liu Erjo aside, and said: "It's better for me to come, it's just a stick, as long as you don't hit the back of the head, how can it be so easy to die?" ”
Liu Yiyi does not have the psychological burden of Lao Liu, how can people who grew up eating beef be afraid of cows?
Standing behind the calf, three inches below the calf's ears, Liu Yiyi slammed down with a stick. It was so clean that the calf didn't even squeak and fell.
They made a reassuring gesture to Lao Liu, and Liu Yi put the iron bar on the fire. At the same time, he instructed Lao Liu and them: "Nijo, you put a cloth under the cow's head, and then wash its nose with wine." Daddy, if you press the cow's head for a while, it won't be able to move even if it wakes up halfway. You know? ”
"Hey! Ay! Lao Liu and Liu Ertiao kept nodding their heads and agreed.
Liu Yi picked up the red-burned iron bar, squatted in front of the bull's head, and said to Lao Liu: "Dad, you hold it, I want to wear it!" ”
Liu Laoshi rode on the neck of the ox, his knees pressed tightly against the cow's head, and nodded at Liu Yiyi: "Wear it!" ”
When the fiery iron bar was inserted into the fragile cartilage of the bull's nose, a burst of white smoke rose from the nose. The calf's body also kept twitching due to the severe pain, but with Yanagi honestly pressing on the side, it didn't have much impact on Yanagichi's movements.
"Nijo, pour the wine!"
When the iron bar smoothly penetrated the nose bone of the cow, Yanagiichi instructed Yanagi to pour wine and disinfect it.
Because it was a red-hot iron bar, there was not much blood coming out during the operation. Rinse it with a drink and wash it off.
Yanagichi pulled out the iron bar, and a hole two millimeters in diameter appeared in the cow's nose.
motioned for Liu to be honest and said, "Dad, you put the nose ring through that hole and kill it." After two days, when the cow's wound is better, I will make a noose for it, and it will be able to go to the ground after the New Year. ”
Seeing that there was not much blood and that the cow was still alive, Liu Laoshi's hanging heart was finally put down, and he patted the cow's head and said, "That's good, that's good." ”
Liu Yichi finished packing his things, and the calf also woke up.
"Moo!!"
There was a loud roar, which was heard by the whole village, and the roof of Lao Liu's house almost fell off.
Liu He was also startled by the roar, holding Liu Xiaohui, who had just been woken up, looking at the calf whirling and wailing in the cow tent, at a loss.
Liu Yiyi saw from afar that the yellow shirt was leading a group of errands to rush here, and he was surprised, it was only less than an hour, why did they come? Has the efficiency of the Tang Dynasty government always been so high? I remember that it was the same when I beat Wang Shuai yesterday, as soon as the people finished fighting, the yellow shirt arrived, who provided them with the information?
"Mother, you take Xiaohui into the house first, the child can't see this. It's not good if you get scared. Liu Yiyi put Liu He's family into the house and waited for the arrival of the yellow shirt.
At this time, Liu Ertiao also noticed the yellow shirts, and he said nervously to Lao Liu: "Dad, look, there are people from the yamen, it seems that they are coming for our house, not to arrest us, right?" ”
"Ahh Liu Laoshi was also shocked, and they all had an inexplicable fear of the officials in the yamen. He shifted his gaze to Ichijo, wanting to hear Yanagichi's opinion.
Liu Yiyi's face remained unchanged, compared to yesterday's events, these are small scenes. He snorted at Liu Nijo and said, "Nijo should go in too, just me and my father here." ”
"But..."
Liu Ertiao was about to say something more, but was interrupted by Liu honestly, "What else can it be, listen to your eldest brother, go to the house!" ”
Lao Liu's tone was a little stern, and even his eyebrows were raised. Yanagi Nijo then returned to the house with his head down.
