Rebirth on the top of the mountain, my herding career

The worst didn't happen.

Qin Xifeng looked around and saw silence among the mountains.

"You're already here, let's take a picture."

He took out a clean cloth from his bag and wiped the boundary monument from top to bottom. Then he took out his Seagull Camera and took a picture of the boundary monument.

There was film in his camera, and there was also a backup of the digital photos. He thought that after the roll of film was finished, he would go to the county to have it developed.

Then he returned the same way and did not rest here.

After his current physical fitness has been improved several times, both physical strength and endurance are much better than ordinary people. This consumption is nothing to him.

"Abba, I have returned to the meeting point and found nothing unusual. How are you doing there? Do you want me to pick you up?"

Qin Xifeng has been trying to get in touch with Atik, and this time he finally got in touch. It happened to be 13:40.

"Everything is normal here. I am walking back. I will arrive at the meeting point in half an hour at most. You can just wait for me there. You don't have to come to pick me up."

Atik's voice came from the walkie-talkie, and the sound was very clear.

"Okay, Dad, walk slowly, don't be in a hurry."

Qin Xifeng put down his worries and immediately ended the call.

Then he took the kerosene stove off the yak's back, lit it, and started making milk tea.

My grandma cooked the milk tea early in the morning, let it cool down and put it into a water bag.

The hydration bladder sewn from cowhide is light and strong, and is wrapped with a felt layer to keep it warm and antifreeze. It is a very suitable device for use on plateaus.

After the milk tea boiled, Qin Xifeng threw in some sliced ​​naan cakes and some dried meat slices.

It didn't take long for the aroma of the food to spread.

Just after 14:00, Atik arrived at the meeting point riding a yak.

"Abba, eat something first."

This steaming pot of milk tea, cooked naan bread, and dried meat slices was Qin Xifeng and Atik's lunch.

Although this thing doesn't look very good, it is high-calorie food and is very suitable for consumption on the plateau.

"Xifeng, before we transfer, we need to patrol these mountain passes from time to time. In addition, if the company has any needs, we must do our best."

After lunch, the two of them packed up and went down the mountain to go home.

Atik felt that he might not need to take Qin Xifeng with him to patrol the border, as the other party could do the job alone.

Putting aside everything else, Qin Xifeng has a great advantage in terms of physical strength alone.

"Well, I understand."

Several mountain passes are located at an altitude of over 4,000 meters, so it is not easy to go back and forth. Qin Xifeng feels that he should not let his father run around like this anymore in the future, as he can do it alone.

In a few days, he will talk to his father about this.

When I got home, it was already afternoon.

Qin Xifeng went to wash his face first, and then got into the greenhouse behind the yurt.

The seedlings in the greenhouse are growing well and will enter the greening stage in the next few days. After bolting and flowering, they still have to carry out pollination. In addition to maintaining the temperature of the greenhouse, they must also be regularly ventilated, otherwise it will be detrimental to the growth.

.

"Is it easy for me to eat some vegetables?"

The growth cycles of various vegetables are also different. He has no say in what vegetables he can eat. In comparison, the growth cycle of green leafy vegetables is shorter.

"Xifeng, are you busy right now? There is something wrong with my sheep. Can you go over and help?"

Qin Xifeng finished his work and just came out of the greenhouse when he saw Gulidan running over on horseback.

She jumped off the horse, and before she could stand firmly, she hurriedly said to Qin Xifeng.

"What's wrong with the sheep? Is it sick?"

Qin Xifeng's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

"She must be sick. Today, several pregnant ewes had miscarriages or premature births. My father has gone to the countryside, but he won't be back until tomorrow at the earliest. West Wind, you know better, go and help.

Let’s see.”

Gulidan's father suspected that the family's sheep had contracted brucellosis, a disease that has always been the number one killer that restricts the breeding of livestock on the plateau.

However, the herdsmen have no means of testing and treatment, so they can only turn to the veterinary stations in the countryside. The veterinary stations only have so many people, and the pastoral area is so large, it is impossible to be there at all times.

Gulidan's eldest brother is about to get married. If something goes wrong with the family's cattle and sheep, it will be a disaster.

In desperation, she ran to Qin Xifeng.

Through this period of contact, Qin Xifeng became synonymous with "omnipotent" in her heart.

"Wait for me, I'll get something, and then I'll go to your house."

Qin Xifeng hurried back to the yurt to prepare disinfectant, brought all the relevant equipment, along with test strips and a first aid kit, got on his horse and galloped away with Gulidan.

"Gulidan, unfortunately, some of your yaks and sheep are indeed infected with Brucella. I just tested it with a test strip and it showed a positive reaction..."

Qin Xifeng came to Gulidan's stable and took samples first.

The bad news is that it is certain that Brucella has spread among livestock. The good news is that not many livestock have tested positive, including 2 yaks and 11 sheep.

"What should I do?"

Gulidan suddenly panicked.

"Don't worry, the top priority now is to separate infected livestock from healthy livestock, and to disinfect the environment and equipment of the livestock pens.

In addition, the living environment at home must also be disinfected. Brucellosis is a zoonotic infectious disease, and this must also be taken seriously."

Generally speaking, as long as a person's immune system is sound, even if he is infected, there will basically be no obvious symptoms.

Later, relying on your own immune system, you can eliminate the germs.

However, people with poor health will have a series of problems such as high fever and need antibiotic treatment. Qin Xifeng is not good at this aspect.

After all, what he currently has is junior veterinary knowledge.

However, the principles of infectious diseases include isolation and elimination, which is no different for humans and livestock.

"Isolation? By the way, there is a temporary corral 2 kilometers away from my house. It should be useful after tidying it up."

Gulidan naturally understood that separating healthy livestock from sick livestock is not as simple as drawing a line, but must be separated by a certain distance.

Fortunately, she has a spare corral at her house, so it should be 2 kilometers apart.

"Come on, let's disinfect each other, and then go to the temporary corral to have a look."

When Qin Xifeng first arrived, he took out a mask and rubber gloves from the first aid kit.

This germ is generally transmitted through contact or consumption of contaminated meat products, dairy products, etc. It is basically not spread through breathing.

But he and Gulidan still wore masks and gloves.

Since they had just come into contact with the source of pollution, Qin Xifeng and Gulidan sprayed each other with disinfectant before going to the temporary corral.

"The problem is not big, just repair some areas."

Qin Xifeng repaired several damaged areas without saying a word. Gulidan cleaned the corral and disinfected it.

After finishing their work, the two of them drove the healthy cattle and sheep over and settled them.
