Rebirth on the top of the mountain, my herding career

"Xifeng, what's going on?"

He rode up to the hillock on horseback, and Gu Lidan and Song Yujia quickly came forward to greet him.

Gulidan held a shotgun in his hand and was followed by a shepherd dog. He looked a little nervous.

Song Yujia was holding a kitchen knife in her hand, which looked a bit funny no matter how you looked at it.

"It's no big deal. Two bastards shot a yellow sheep with a shotgun, but I scared them away. This yellow sheep was shot in its right hind leg. I have to find a way to save it..."

Qin Xifeng unloaded the yellow sheep from the horse, explained what happened in a few words, and ran back to the yurt to get his things.

Fortunately, he brought various instruments and veterinary medicines with him for this transfer. It is not so particular to perform a minor operation on animals. If there is no sterile operating room, it will be performed outdoors. If there is no assistant, Gulidan will do it.

He prepared the medicine and first injected a local anesthetic into the yellow sheep's leg. Then he began to disinfect and debridement, then used a scalpel to cut the epidermis and muscle tissue, and then used tweezers to remove the meat bit by bit.

Remove the steel grit and contaminants.

Then rinse it again and suture it.

"I'll give it an injection now. Whether it can survive or not depends on itself!"

Qin Xifeng worked for more than an hour and had done everything he could. He then gave the yellow sheep an injection of veterinary antibiotics and went to wash his hands and change clothes.

Gu Lidan went to cook, and Song Yujia helped her, and soon the three of them were eating noodles with cabbage.

"Xifeng, how can we convey the news that there are poachers deep in the meadow? I'm afraid those people are unwilling and may come again in a few days."

While eating, Gulidan asked a key question.

Do poachers do it occasionally, or do they make a living from it?

If it is an occasional act of poaching, they may never look back. If it is a repeat offender, then the other party will take action, and it is not ruled out that they can even gather people to retaliate.

Therefore, this matter still needs to be reported to the relevant departments.

"I think about it this way. It's not worth making a special trip for this matter. It will take several days to go back and forth. It's better to wait for someone to come out of the meadow and ask them to help bring the news out."

Qin Xifeng thought for a while and gave the answer.

The flow of people deep in the meadow is also two-way, and herdsmen often go out to purchase materials, convey news, and so on.

As long as you are patient, you will definitely encounter herdsmen passing by during these days.

At that time, you can ask others to help bring the news out. After the relevant departments receive the report, they will naturally send people over.

Of course, there is a more ideal situation, that is, the anti-poaching patrol will happen to patrol here in the next few days.

However, this hope is relatively slim, because this area is not the focus of inspections. Generally speaking, few people who are not locals can penetrate deep into the meadow.

As for whether the other party would retaliate, to be honest, Qin Xifeng didn't think it was very likely. The two guys ran away in a panic as soon as they were frightened by him. They didn't look like habitual criminals.

"Everyone should be more alert at night. I will go to bed early and I will be on duty in the second half of the night. You two don't have to worry too much."

Qin Xifeng still didn't care. After dinner, he made some arrangements and took the time to go to bed.

Gu Lidan and Song Yujia cleaned up the mess. They couldn't sleep because they had something on their minds, so they just talked until midnight.

In the middle of the night, Qin Xifeng got up and walked around the corral and hills, but found nothing unusual.

Then he handed over the guarding task to the sheepdog and falcon, and went back to sleep.

The next day.

The three of them all got up early. The two girls had breakfast, and Qin Xifeng went to the corral to see the injured yellow sheep.

Last night, he put the yellow sheep into the corral and arranged a special place for it.

After a night's rest, the yellow sheep seems to be in good condition. Although it is still unable to stand, it can drink water and eat.

Qin Xifeng couldn't help but lament that wild animals have such tenacious vitality and recover from injuries much faster than humans.

He continued to give the yellow sheep an injection of antibiotics to prevent the wound from getting infected.

"This incident is not over yet. Does it have to wait until the yellow sheep recovers completely?"

Qin Xifeng checked the progress of the event. So far, the progress is only 80%, and there is still some distance to complete.

"Yujia, please take more care of the yellow sheep these two days, observe its condition frequently, and remember to let it drink water and eat grass regularly..."

During breakfast, Qin Xifeng arranged a new job for Song Yujia, which was to take care of the "wounded" and try to help them recover as soon as possible.

"Well, I understand."

In fact, Qin Xifeng would do the same without specifically telling her.

Normally, Qin Xifeng and Gulidan would go out to graze, so she didn't have much to do in the camp. She took care of the old and weak people left behind in the corral.

During this period, three golden wild yaks gave birth to cubs one after another, but the situation was a bit strange. The three cows did not care about the little ones. They started following the herd two days after giving birth, and all the cubs were left behind.

Over here at the corral.

morning.

When Qin Xifeng and Gu Lidan drove the herd to wander far away, Song Yujia began to circle around the yellow sheep and three golden wild yak cubs.

After finishing her work at the corral, she went to the vegetable field to pick some vegetables.

Soon it will be time to prepare lunch again.

"Zifeng, someone is coming."

Gulidan was riding on horseback, habitually holding a telescope to look here.

As a result, she saw a small yak team coming from the direction of the wetland. Needless to say, this team was heading outside the meadow.

"It seems we are lucky! Gulidan, you look at the herd, I'll go see them."

Just as Qin Xifeng had expected, he rushed over and asked, and found that the other two were going outside to replenish supplies.

The edge of the meadow is close to the border road, so the circulation of materials is quite convenient. In the past two months, the base camp has been like a small market, where you can buy some daily necessities.

If you travel a little further, there is a small town 12 kilometers away where you can purchase more abundant supplies.

Qin Xifeng politely asked for help and entrusted the other party to pass on the news of poachers deep in the meadow.

"Are you here to hunt yellow sheep again? We keep catching people like this every year, but there is no end! Don't worry, we will definitely report it to the relevant departments."

All the herdsmen in Palpaha hate poachers. The ecology on the plateau is already very fragile. Once there is a problem in the ecological chain, it will have serious consequences.

We may be uneducated, but generations of survival experience tell them that human beings' excessive demands from nature will eventually be counterattacked.

So, they happily agreed to Qin Xifeng's request and moved on.

"It's good now, we won't have to worry anymore soon!"

As the yak caravan drifted away, Gulidan finally felt relieved.

Ever since Qin Xifeng went to stop illegal poaching yesterday, she has been feeling uneasy. Some poachers are very vicious and will even openly confront the patrol team, and she is afraid that they will come to retaliate.

There are only three of them grazing in this area. If those guys really have bad intentions, they can easily find them.

If the message can be passed on, it is equivalent to an extra layer of insurance.

Qin Xifeng smiled and nodded, but he didn't really care.

Most people who hunt yellow sheep do so for food and drink, and there are not many extremely vicious ones.
