Chapter 39 Too many cubs are also a burden

Wen Qizhou found a secluded self-built villa next to the elevated third ring road in Heyuan City.

The two-storey villa was surrounded by weeds, the iron gate in front of the yard was rusty, and a few spider webs could be glimpsed vaguely.

He pushed open the unlocked iron door, walked along the path paved with warm cobblestones to the main entrance, picked the lock and entered the living room on the first floor.

The living room was full of dust, debris was dumped crookedly on the floor, and an indescribable stench permeated the surroundings.

"It stinks." Chi Yue frowned.

She pushed open two windows to diffuse the smell, and followed the stench to the kitchen.

The rats and cockroaches crawling all over the cooking table came into view immediately, and the dense black shadows wrapped the moldy tableware and condiments, which made her feel uncomfortable.

A cockroach came flapping its wings, and she avoided it sideways, backing away from the kitchen again and again, so as not to be targeted again.

She endured the discomfort and went to the stairs, and asked Wen Qizhou who went upstairs to check the situation: "Qi Zhou, is the upstairs dirty?"

"It's dirty, and there's a dead body."

"Forget it." She doesn't know how long it will take to clean, she is not happy to live: "Let's change places."

Wen Qizhou depends on her.

He walked out of the self-built house, drove Chi Yue around the viaduct, and finally drove into a high-end residential area with only five villas built, and stopped in front of the villa near the lake.

There is a lake in front of this villa, and there are trees and pavilions in the back. It is difficult to find its existence without careful observation.

There are no dead bodies in the room, and the number of mice and cockroaches is relatively small. Overall, it is much better than self-built houses.

They cleaned it briefly, and then picked a bedroom to live in, removed the furniture and replaced it with the one commonly used in Yujingwan, adding a touch of warmth that belongs to each other.

"It looks much more pleasing to the eye now." Chi Yue sat on the familiar sofa, looking around with a smile on his face.

Wen Qizhou felt the same way.

He glanced down at those swaying feet, worried that she would be cold, so he connected the battery to power a heater.

The warm wind blows.

The enveloping warmth filled the entire bedroom.

He changed into winter pajamas, put his arms around Chi Yue, who was in a lazy posture, and put his eyes on the portable TV.

"What type of play is this?"

"Gong fight."

She had finished watching the suspense drama that was aired last time, and she didn't want to watch the same type again, so she switched to Gongdou Machinations.

She pillowed in Wen Qizhou's arms, peeled off the concubine's smile with her slender fingertips, took a bite of the flesh and fed it to his lips.

so repeatedly.

The stars and the moon are shining outside the window, and the light reflected by the movable TV elongates the two figures reflected on the wall.

They lived a peaceful and comfortable life, allowing the arrow called time to flash by before their eyes.

*
Fast forward to early March.

Snow covered the fence in front of the courtyard, the trees behind the villa were also frozen, and the pavilion was even shrouded in snow.

They rarely go downstairs and go back and forth between the fitness room and the bedroom all day long, and other areas are invaded by air-conditioning.

Wen Qizhou, who had just finished exercising, took a towel to wipe off the sweat on his neck, and glanced at the books on the table from the corner of his eye.

──"Efficient Pig Raising Technology"

He suddenly remembered something: "Yueyue, that pig in the space should be giving birth soon."

A few days ago, when they were feeding the pigs, they found that one of them had a big belly. According to the pregnancy performance described in the book, it was confirmed that it was pregnant with a piglet.

Although he didn't know how long it was pregnant, but he recalled its state two days ago, it was very close to the signs of labor.

"Let me see."

Chi Yue checked with consciousness, and found that the pregnant pig was lying on the haystack whimpering, and immediately pulled Wen Qizhou into the space.

She walked up to it, and saw a piglet coming out of the birth canal covered in mucus, and couldn't help but froze for a moment.

"What's the first step?" She racked her brains to recall the contents of the book, but it was the first time she saw a newborn piglet, and the more anxious she became, the more she couldn't remember the steps.

Wen Qizhou: "Wipe the mucus?"

He read few books on raising pigs, but seeing that the piglets were covered in mucus, he must have cleaned them up first.

"Yes! Wipe the slime." As he reminded, Chi Yue clearly remembered the steps and quickly brought the things that needed to be used.

They put on gloves, and Wen Qizhou held the piglet with both hands under her instructions, and she carefully wiped the mucus.

She stared at the umbilical cord: "Its umbilical cord needs to be torn apart by hand. After I tear it apart, you can apply some iodine to sterilize it."

The umbilical cord of piglets is too fragile and using scissors may cause excessive bleeding.She tore off the umbilical cord with both hands, pinched the severed umbilical cord that was leaking blood, and handed it to him until the bleeding stopped.

Wen Qizhou held the piggy's back with one hand, dipped a cotton swab with iodophor and applied it to its severed navel: "Then what should I do?"

"You let it go first."

Chi Yue pointed at the incubator.

The incubator is made of wooden boards, and there is an insulated lamp on the top, which looks simple but can provide a slightly warmer environment.

When he lay down, the second piglet was born.

Having experienced it once, they no longer panic, and the division of labor clearly wipes mucus, cuts the umbilical cord, and disinfects it.

As time went by, the number of piglets in the litter changed from one to six. They were sweating from hard work, waiting for the sow to give birth to the afterbirth every 10 minutes, and then cleaning it.

Wen Qizhou separated a separate area to prevent other pigs from disturbing their rest: "What should I do next?"

"Feed antibiotics."

Chi Yue inhaled Daqingmycin, which can prevent diarrhea, into the syringe, squatted down and fed the six piglets with him one by one.

Then move them to the belly of the sow to drink milk, and send them back to the incubator after drinking the milk: "Okay, let's go out."

"and many more."

"what happened?"

"That sheep seems to be pregnant too." Wen Qizhou took off his gloves, and pointed to the sheep next door with an obvious sagging belly.

Chi Yue: "..."

She has watched the video of delivering sheep, but she really doesn't know how ewes behave during pregnancy, so she can only flip through the book temporarily.

According to the content recorded in the book, they went up to check and confirmed that they were pregnant.

But there is no way to judge how long it will take to give birth. The only way is to observe more while helping the piglets to drink milk.

Four days later, the piglets were able to drink milk by themselves, and the ewes in the next pen were also lying on the haystack, ready to give birth.

A ewe has two lambs in one litter.

They cleaned the incubator used by the piglets carefully, moved it to the ewe, and put the two lambs in it.

Chi Yue touched the ewe that was rubbing against her knee, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't give birth in the future, we can't eat so much."

She and Wen Qizhou don't like to eat mutton, and only cook two or three catties in winter all year round.

If it and other ewes give birth every year, and they can't keep up with the eating speed, there will only be more and more sheep in the space.

It will be a burden then.

Ewe: "...baa."

It stopped rubbing Chi Yue's knee, and moved to the side of the incubator, guarding its cub.
