Rebirth on the top of the mountain, my herding career

Early the next morning.

Qin Xifeng ran to the mountains to train falcons. By the way, he also wanted to visit the river valley and choose a place suitable for planting alfalfa.

"Abba, you take care of the livestock today, and I'll go for a walk in the mountains."

On the way, he called Atik.

"Going up the mountain without breakfast? Okay, I'll go feed the livestock later. I won't be grazing today. I'll have a day off."

Atik walked in a hurry yesterday and felt a little tired when he woke up in the morning.

Anyway, there is still a lot of fodder left at home, and there is not much pasture on the mountains now, so it is more appropriate to graze at intervals.

Unlike Atik, Qin Xifeng's physical fitness was improved again last night. He was so energetic that he took long strides and headed towards the mountain at full speed.

As soon as he exerted his strength, his speed increased much faster than usual, just like an ape leaping across the canyon.

The falcons kept circling above his head, and one man and one falcon gradually reached above the snow line.

He didn't rest all the way, and up to this moment, he was still not blushing or out of breath, and seemed to be at ease.

Falcons soared freely in the sky, and from time to time there were several calls.

Qin Xifeng could feel its joy, but the tacit understanding between the two still needed to be further developed.

Once it is well adjusted, this falcon will become his "sentinel" in the air.

He didn't stay in the mountains for long. When he returned, he went to the river valley to have a look. Planting alfalfa requires an appropriate amount of water. Although this kind of grass is cold and drought-resistant, it still needs water to nourish it.

The rainfall in the Parpaha area is relatively scarce throughout the year, so it is naturally more advantageous to choose a place close to a water source.

After leaving the river valley, he returned to his yurt to eat something and feed the falcon.

In a few months, this eagle will be able to hunt on its own, and there will be no need to feed it at regular intervals.

The rewarded falcon only had this benefit, eliminating the tedious process of cooking the falcon. Basic trust had been established between him and the falcon, and there was no need to worry about it except for feeding it.

Qin Xifeng placed a basin of water in front of the scaffold, and then went to his own corral.

"Xifeng, why are you going to the mountains so early in the morning?"

At this time, Atik was still working in the corral. He saw Qin Xifeng walking over and asked casually.

"I won't tell you a little thing now, I'll give you a surprise later."

Qin Xifeng smiled slightly and did not answer his father's question directly.

It is impossible to hide the existence of this falcon from Atik, and he will definitely tell him in a few days. I won't tell him now just to make it less sudden.

"Haha, you've learned how to tell the truth, right? I can guess it even if you don't tell me. Are you going to see the cave where Shadir and his gang are hiding?"

Atik thought he had guessed his son's thoughts.

"It's whatever you say... Dad, I'm going to the countryside today to buy some medicines at the veterinary station. I want to try to get the ewe to breed a second child as soon as possible."

Although there are incentives for ewes to be induced to go into estrus by using medicines, before that the ewes need to be cleaned and disinfected, injected with antibiotics, and the vitality of the breeding sheep must be ensured...etc.

No details can be spared.

"Xifeng, you are the one who has read the most in the family. I believe in your ability. If you have any questions, you can ask the people at the township veterinary station for help. I am very familiar with them."

Atik supported Qin Xifeng's idea unconditionally. Qin Xifeng often messed with things in the corral a few days ago. He didn't ask questions, but he still knew what was going on.

"In addition, you go to the countryside to find your Uncle Wang Hai. I have asked someone to bring him a message, asking him to help find two big workers. Don't travel at night and come back with the big workers tomorrow morning."

Atik originally planned to make a trip by himself, but Qin Xifeng was going to the rural veterinary station and happened to invite Dagong back.

It is indeed time to start building a biogas digester in the village.

"Okay, Dad."

Since he planned to stay in the countryside for one night, Qin Xifeng was not in a hurry. He had lunch at home and fed the falcon before setting off for the countryside.

In the evening.

Atik wandered to Qin Xifeng's yurt and saw the scaffolding at a glance.

At this moment, the falcon was circling in the sky. When it saw someone approaching the yurt, it swooped down and landed on the scaffolding, looking at Atik warily.

"Heizi" who was lying at the door of the yurt ran over and rubbed his trouser legs affectionately.

"I said this kid is mysterious. It turns out that he caught a young eagle from somewhere. How easily does the young eagle recognize him as his master? Forget it, don't bother to care about him. Just let him be happy."

Taming a falcon is a common thing in Palpaha these days, and some falconers have been doing this job for generations.

Everyone knows a little bit about the art of falcon training, but there are differences between them.

Atik didn't want to interfere too much. His sons had grown up. As long as they didn't do bad things, he would always let them go.

When Qin Xifeng arrived in the countryside, it was already getting late. He had dinner at Wang Hai's house and chatted with Wang Jianjun for a long time before going to bed.

Early the next morning, he went to the veterinary station to buy some medicines and equipment, and then returned to the village with the help of Wang Hai.

Atik has already made arrangements, including providing food and accommodation for the two workers.

Qin Xifeng took the design drawings and explained his requirements in detail to the two engineers before going back to rest.

The job is easy to handle, and the village has sent seven or eight strong young men, including those who helped him work in the first place.

He just needs to keep an eye on it from time to time.

Qin Xifeng returned to his yurt, cleaned it first, and then went to the corral with medicines and equipment.

He first needs to examine the ewes, and then select 10 sheep with moderate fatness and thinness for experiments. Cleaning and disinfection is the first step, and the next step is to inject antibiotics.

This is because the sheep at home are constantly moving. They don’t have as many physical problems as the sheep raised in captivity, otherwise the process would be more complicated.

After the injection, he looked at the two Kirk sheep.

These two breeding sheep are very energetic. One breeding sheep breeds 25 ewes in one breeding season, and there is no problem at all.

In the evening, Qin Xifeng left the corral and went directly to Atik's yurt.

Grandma had already started preparing dinner at this time, and Atik was sitting outside the yurt playing the Rebufu (a kind of Liuxuanqin), enjoying herself.

Qin Xifeng did not disturb him and stood not far away, listening quietly.

"Xifeng, you're back? How did things go?"

After the song ended, Atik stood up and asked.

"Abba, the master craftsmen have been invited back and settled in the village. Let them rest for a while today, and we can start work tomorrow morning. In addition, I have also bought the medicines I need."

Qin Xifeng and Atik stood chatting for a while, then greeted their grandmother, and then they walked into the yurt together.

Until after dinner, Atik didn't mention the falcon.

the next day.

Qin Xifeng went to the corral early in the morning. He observed the condition of the ewes, and then fed the 10 sheep water mixed with medicine.

One Kirk breeding sheep and 10 ewes were kept in a separate area. Only in this way can the experimental results be better observed.

The increase in reproductive rate is a big deal for herdsmen. Atik looked on without saying a word, but his heart was still full of expectations.
