The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 5 Avian Influenza Epidemic

Wang Shaodong glanced at Ma Lili, who was intoxicated by high technology, and said to her, "Lili, take a look at this post."

In 2002, the three main things that netizens from all over the world did online were playing games, visiting forums and chatting on QQ.As for watching movies online, it will take another year until the Internet speed increases.With the internet speed of a fifth-tier city like Gangcheng County, if you want to use the web to watch movies, you must be looking for guilt. You have to buffer for 1 minutes to watch a minute, so you don’t delay your homework.

And each city, in 2002, had its own information port forum, and many local people would exchange information on the local information port forum.Most of them are definitely friends-making information.However, in some remote columns, there are also supply and demand information and breeding information that Wang Shaodong cares about.

He browsed the Luzhong Information Port and Taishan Information Port for more than half an hour, and finally found four or five posts about the outbreak of bird flu.

However, obviously, such posts did not attract many people's attention, and the number of followers was very small.

"What is this?"

Ma Lili didn't care about the content of the post, but first became interested in the interface opened by Wang Shaodong.

Wang Shaodong was a little speechless, and told him what a forum is and how to post a post, and then Ma Lili focused on the content of the post Wang Shaodong asked her to read.

"The person who posted this post is a chicken farmer. Their family has raised [-] broiler chickens, and they all died?" Ma Lili was a little puzzled.

Wang Shaodong nodded, and then opened another post for her to read.

Ma Lili read out while watching: "My father is Song Bentao from Xiaolongmen Village, Beishidian Township, Southern Tainan City. All the more than 3000 red jade chickens we raised died within three days. Who will save us? ?”

After reading this post, Ma Lili suddenly became excited.

"Xiaolongmen Village is only a dozen miles away from our Taohualing Village!"

Ma Lili was surprised, not because she lamented that all three thousand chickens died in a short period of time, but because she was surprised that the person who posted the post was so close to her.The web is amazing.

Ma Lili's focus made Wang Shaodong feel a little disappointed, he sighed and said, "Hey, it's quite close. Lili, don't you think it's strange that the chickens of these two farmers died?"

After being reminded by Wang Shaodong, Ma Lili realized the content of the post itself. Thinking that her family is also a chicken farmer, she felt the same and sympathized with the two farmers.

"Hey, these two chicken farmers are really pitiful."

Wang Shaodong thought, it is not enough to let Ma Lili sympathize with these poor farmers, but also to make her worry about her own farm.

Then, Wang Shaodong asked Ma Lili to read five or six posts in a row, all of which were about poultry outbreaks within tens of kilometers from their Taohualing village.

Finally, Wang Shaodong looked at Ma Lili seriously and said: "Lili, it seems that we have a serious poultry epidemic here, and our farmers must hurry up and get rid of all the poultry. If the epidemic occurs , I'm afraid it will be too late!"

There are only three days until July 7th. If we go back to contact the raw chicken purchaser tonight, there should be still time.

The shocking posts have completely frightened Ma Lili. After listening to Wang Shaodong's words, she nodded anxiously and said, "Shaodong, let's go back and tell the family quickly."

Obviously, the greatest significance of this trip to the Internet cafe was the discovery that a terrible epidemic was breaking out in poultry around Taohualing Village.

In 2002, bird flu was still a new term for domestic poultry farmers.However, with the regional outbreak of the epidemic in 03 and 04 and the hype of the media, this epidemic has been known and feared by all poultry farmers.

Chickens that have not been vaccinated against bird flu will die on a large scale in a short period of time once they are infected with bird flu virus, which is much more terrifying than the traditional chicken plague and Newcastle disease in Asia.

Since 04, large and small poultry farmers have begun to realize that the bird flu vaccine is a must-have vaccine.

The situation was urgent, Wang Shaodong and Ma Lili bid farewell to Wu Zhe and Sun Lin, came out of the Internet cafe, found a three-wheeled motorcycle, and hurried back.

When we returned to Taohualing Village, it was already twelve o'clock at noon. Wang Shaodong didn't go home for dinner, but went to her house with Ma Lili first, and found Ma Lili's father, Ma Zhentang.

"Uncle Ma, let's get rid of all the chickens quickly, without delay!"

"Dad, many farms around Taohualing have chicken plague. It's scary."

Ma Zhentang obviously didn't expect the two students who went to the Internet cafe to check how to fill in the college entrance examination volunteer report to themselves after they came back.

Ma Zhentang looked at Wang Shaodong and Ma Lili with a disapproving smile and asked, "Who did you two listen to?"

At this time, Wang Shaodong took out a small notebook, which recorded the records of the outbreaks in the farms that he learned from online forums, and pointed to Ma Zhentang and said: "These are the outbreaks of the outbreaks that I found on the Internet. The breeder's information."

Ma Zhentang looked at it, then frowned.

"I know two of the farmers recorded in your notebook. I'll make a phone call to find out what's going on."

Frowning, Ma Zhentang entered the room and picked up the phone.

Because they were all nearby farms, Ma Zhentang, who had always been friends with many people, actually knew them. This made Wang Shaodong feel that things might be easier to handle than he imagined.

In addition, I and Ma Lili worked together to prevent that tragedy, so there is great hope.

Wang Shaodong and Ma Lili followed Ma Zhentang into the house, and watched as Ma Zhentang called the farmers recorded by Wang Shaodong.

"Hey, old Song, how is the situation in your chicken farm recently?...What? Are they all dead? Could it be that the Newcastle disease has not been prevented well?...Yes, Newcastle disease can't all die in three days. Light...well, okay, okay, Old Song, everyone in our business has their heads hanging on their waistbands, so don't be too sad, take your time..."

After hanging up the phone, Ma Zhentang's face became tense.

He then made two more phone calls and confirmed that the situation was the same as what Wang Shaodong told himself, that there was indeed a very serious epidemic happening around.

"Uncle Ma, don't hesitate, we poultry farmers must dispose of all the poultry! Once a virus-infected sparrow flies to our side to shit, then our whole area Those who raise chickens and ducks are all over."

Wang Shaodong's analogy made Ma Lili beside him burst out laughing, but Ma Zhentang didn't take what Wang Shaodong said just now as a joke, and then he looked at Wang Shaodong with a serious face and said: "Dongzi, let's go and discuss with your father. Let's discuss."
