181. Chicken plague
There was only more than a day left before the Nanling City Agricultural Fair, and Chen Youcai didn't go anywhere, and concentrated on staying at home to take care of the colorful chickens.
He asked Lao Song for leave, and even the Zhangjia Town Police Station needed him to make up some key materials, but Chen Youcai only agreed to do it over the phone.
There is no way, who made the colorful chicken too eye-catching, and there are too many people who are thinking about it openly and secretly.
This made Chen Youcai have to guard against it.
He didn't forget the look in Lu Yichen's eyes when he left last night, no matter how well he concealed it, under Chen Youcai's keen insight, he still showed his flaws.
Obviously, this is not a person who is willing to give up casually, and it is very likely that he will find another way to get the colorful chicken.
Chen Youcai was not afraid of the other party stealing chickens, what he was afraid of was that once these guys lost their mentality and became frantic, they would do something outrageous to the people around them.
"You are talented, are you at home?"
With a bang, the courtyard door was hastily pushed open, and the sweaty Chen Laohai came quickly under the orange morning light, which made Chen Youcai, who was squatting under the eaves brushing his teeth, quite astonished.
"Old Uncle Hai, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Youcai took a sip of water, rinsed the foam from his mouth, quickly wiped his mouth with his backhand, got up and asked.
"I don't know what's going on, many chickens and ducks in the village have fallen ill! My two old hens couldn't stand up in the chicken coop this morning..."
Chen Laohai said anxiously: "If you are talented, could it be that there is a chicken plague in the village? You should think of a way!"
"..."
Chen Youcai's eyes widened. He was speechless. Although he worked part-time in the hospital, he was not an official doctor.
The point is, he is not a veterinarian who is proficient in poultry treatment!
Right now, Chen Laohai was going to the doctor for an emergency, so he didn't care whether Chen Youcai disagreed, so he dragged him to his home.
As he walked, he babbled: "These two old hens are fine. The family is counting on the local eggs they laid to sell them for rice money."
"Is the little piggy at home all right?"
Chen Youcai's heart skipped a beat, and he felt something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked.
"It's okay, but the hen seems to be sick, lying sickly in the chicken coop, motionless."
As Chen Laohai was talking, the two of them had already arrived at the chicken coop in the yard of his house. Chen Youcai squatted down, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and temporarily act as a veterinarian.
Under the eager gaze of Chen Laohai's family of four, Chen Youcai reached out to touch the chicken body, and felt a little cold, which was indeed a sign of illness.
"I still have some veterinary medicine left at home. It's left over from feeding the chickens last time. Uncle Hai, wait a minute. I'll get it for you."
Chen Youcai thought about it, and decided to use the leftover diluted marrow washing solution from last time. After all, the colorful chicken couldn't swallow all of it, and most of it was still in the mineral water bottle.
After a while, Chen Youcai left and returned, carefully unscrewed the bottle of mineral water in his hand, then found a white porcelain bowl, and poured a few drops of the diluted marrow washing solution into it.
"You can't take too much of this medicine. Poultry will have problems if you take too much."
Facing the eager eyes of the old Chen's family of four, Chen Youcai had no choice but to patiently explain.
The next moment, a miracle happened.
The two old hens lying softly in the coop suddenly opened their small eyes, and then stared closely at the white porcelain bowl that Chen Youcai handed over.
Even just two drops of diluted marrow washing solution are fatal to the temptation of two old hens.
They clucked twice, then stood up staggeringly, and couldn't wait to squeeze in front of the white porcelain bowl, and quickly stretched out their heads to peck the liquid droplets inside.
"..."
The old man Chen's family of four looked dumbfounded, this is the first time seeing an old hen willing to take medicine...
It's more active than eating chicken feed.
In a short while, the liquid medicine in the white porcelain bowl was completely pecked away, and the two old hens still couldn't bear to stop their mouths, and still buried their heads in pecking at the bottom of the bowl.
"It shouldn't be a big problem, I'll go to another house to have a look."
Seeing that the mental state of the two old hens had obviously improved, Chen Youcai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, bid farewell to the thankful Chen Laohai family, and went to the next door.
"...Could it be someone poisoning again?"
After a while, Chen Youcai went out again, and the liquid level in the mineral water bottle in his hand had obviously dropped.
Most people in the village raised chickens and ducks, and there were already signs of chickens and ducks falling ill in many villagers' homes, which made Chen Youcai secretly vigilant.
Fortunately, the village chief Chen Daqiang who got the news also rushed over. Chen Youcai handed him the mineral water bottle, instructed him how to use it, and then hurried back to the chicken coop in his small courtyard.
Contrary to Chen Youcai's expectation, the big colorful rooster looked full of energy and was standing on the persimmon tree, clucking to the rising sun.
Seemingly noticing Chen Youcai's approach, it flapped its wings, leaped high from the treetops, then walked beside Chen Youcai with its head held high and its chest held high, like a bodyguard.
"Sure enough, someone poisoned...then why are you okay?"
Picking up a small piece of bread crumbs beside the chicken coop, Chen Youcai sniffed it under the tip of his nose, and there was a pungent smell.
This thing should have been thrown in secretly through the wall. Unfortunately, the monitoring equipment ordered online has not arrived yet, so it is impossible to know who did it.
Chen Youcai casually threw the bread crumbs into the trash can, stared at the big rooster and murmured, the latter tilted its neck and cooed twice in confusion.
"Uncle Daqiang, have you finished delivering the medicine?"
Walking out of the small courtyard, I came to a villager's house at the end of the village. I saw Chen Daqiang, who was sweating profusely, waving his hands and walking out, his expression relaxed a lot.
"It's all over. Your boy's medicine is really effective. Many chickens and ducks can stand up and walk after drinking the medicine."
Chen Daqiang handed back the bottle of mineral water with more than half of the liquid medicine left to Chen Youcai, and said with emotion with a smile: "If it weren't for you, Chen Youcai, our Chenjia Village would have suffered again."
"...This is what I should do, hehe."
When Chen Youcai heard this, he couldn't help but feel his old face burn, and he shook his head with a sneer.
He is actually embarrassed to say that this sudden chicken plague incident was most likely caused by his colorful chicken...
Of course, right now it's just a guess. Fortunately, there was no loss in the village, which is considered a blessing among misfortunes.
"Hurry up and go home and pack your things. We have to leave for Nanling City in the afternoon. Tomorrow's agricultural exhibition starts at [-]:[-] in the morning. We can't delay it."
Chen Daqiang slapped his forehead, and then he remembered the business, and hurriedly urged Chen Youcai repeatedly.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Chen Youcai nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, so he ran back to his small courtyard with a wry smile and began to pack his things.
He actually had a bold idea in his heart, but he had to wait until the colorful chicken became a blockbuster at the agricultural exhibition before he could implement it.
"Don't live up to my expectations..."
Back in the yard, looking at the colorful big rooster pacing leisurely, Chen Youcai murmured in a low voice.
