Chapter 87
Shi Wen approaching, Heiwa turned his head and wagged his tail happily.
Shi Wen went over and petted each of the dogs, asking, "Did you come to play with the horse?"
The dogs barked, "Woof!"
Shi Wen, "Well done, good friends should get along well."
The horse snorted, whether in response to his words or simply in reaction to his arrival, it was unclear.
Shi Wen noticed that the interaction between the animals had calmed the horse down considerably. He patted the horse's neck happily and said, "Be a good boy, and I'll bring you a carrot later."
The horse snorted again, and its three intact legs tried to move.
Shi Wen chat with the horses and, incidentally, pet the furry animals at home.
As they chatted, the horse pooped a lot.
It's quite common for herbivores to defecate anytime, anywhere. Shi Wen I got overwhelmed by the smell, so I grabbed the trash can and decided to clean up their droppings.
When he went to get the dustpan to clean it, he unexpectedly discovered white stuff in the horse's manure.
The white stuff was very fragmented, mixed in with the brownish-black feces, and it was impossible to tell what it was.
However, Shi Wen was certain that he had not fed the horse any white food.
Therefore, the horse's droppings containing white substances are highly suspicious.
For a qualified herdsman, identifying the condition of livestock from their droppings is a very important task.
Livestock cannot speak and usually have a high pain tolerance. If abnormalities are not detected in time, it will be difficult to reverse the disease once it has progressed to the middle or late stages.
Therefore, Shi Wen first reaction was that the horse was sick.
He quickly searched his stored knowledge, but couldn't recall what disease could cause a horse to produce white manure.
He circled the horse to observe it and still felt that the horse was in very good condition. Not only was its injured leg slowly recovering, but its mood had also improved a lot, and it didn't seem to be sick at all.
If it's not sick, then it must have eaten something white.
Shi Wen moment, then his gaze fell on the horse's injured leg, which was in a cast.
If a plaster block falls down, it might try to chew it up.
Although the probability is relatively small.
Shi Wen somewhat uneasy, marked the abnormal status in the work manual, planning to check it again tomorrow.
If there are still any abnormalities tomorrow, then investigate the cause carefully. If not, then forget about it; the horse may have just accidentally eaten some white substance.
Shi Wen people dumping the swept horse manure into a manure truck.
The animal manure is collected and sent to a waste pit, where it ferments together with all the farm's domestic waste, eventually turning into fertilizer.
For herders, excrement is perfectly normal; it's just one link in the cycle and not even considered dirty.
More than a year ago Shi Wen would never have imagined that he would be dealing with so much animal manure, but now he's used to it.
Even seeing unusual feces evokes a unique joy in the heart of an old farmer.
For example, the droppings of a baby fox.
This little rascal eats little, poops little, and his feces are incredibly smelly, almost as bad as Cong Zai's.
However, Shi Wen could keenly sense that the little fox's droppings were different from those of all other animals.
As the excrement of Variant Beasts, it contains substances unique to that Variant Beasts.
Upon observing this, Shi Wen understood the researchers' previous study of him.
Yan Kexing believes that Shi Wen has improved significantly, which is something to celebrate.
Yan Kexing said that Shi Wen nowadays are becoming more and more aware of their bloodline, which is why they are becoming more and more sensitive to various biological pheromones.
This is the instinct of Variant Beasts, not the instinct of a human.
Humans have lost this ability, Shi Wen's regaining of it indicates that he is moving closer to becoming Auspicious Beasts.
For him at this stage, the stronger his bloodline awakening, the stronger his abilities, and the longer his lifespan.
Yan Kexing's worries about Shi Wen's lifespan began to dissipate.
As his Shi Wen reaches a sufficiently high level, his lifespan will surely become longer and longer, and the time the two spend together will also become longer and longer.
Chapter 87
After another cold snap in spring, the weather seems to have really warmed up.
Shi Wen they grow vegetables in their backyard.
Last year, the vegetables he grew were quite good: bok choy and lettuce in the spring, eggplant, peppers, green beans, tomatoes, and cucumbers in the summer, and pumpkins and carrots in the fall. All the vegetables were delicious, and they were softer, more tender, and sweeter than the vegetables in the market.
For example, An Wa, a picky dog, won't eat carrots bought from the market, but she'll occasionally steal carrots from home to nibble on.
This year, we have more pets at home, so we need more vegetables. Shi Wen simply planted vegetables in the entire backyard. Anyway, all we need to do is bury more fertilizer, plant them all at once, and then there's not much work to do afterwards.
Watering is easy because there's a tap.
The sunlight slowly crept across the rooftops and then gradually receded into the distance.
Shi Wen that after planting vegetables, people would wash their hands in the corner with their hands covered in black mud.
The sun was setting, and their livestock returned, including their dogs.
Heiwa and his friends were playing around the horses that were sunbathing and enjoying the breeze outside.
Shi Wen came out from the backyard and saw Heiwa looking up and the horse looking down.
A dog and a horse, one black and one white, seemed to be sniffing each other's scent in the sunset.
I was quite touched to Shi Wen watching from the corner like that.
I never expected their horse and dog to get along so well.
Just as Shi Wen Shi Wen this, he suddenly saw Heiwa spit out a white thing from his mouth. The horse rolled its tongue and, without any disgust, rolled the white thing into its mouth.
The dog and the horse worked together seamlessly, completing the transaction in the blink of an eye.
If it weren't for the fact that Heiwa was a black dog, making the white stuff he vomited particularly noticeable, even from such a distance, Shi Wen would never have mistaken it, and he really wouldn't have noticed it.
