Chapter 93 (continued)

Mole was very nervous at first, but gradually relaxed after seeing that he wasn't being scolded.

Sikewell also noticed Mole's performance and said to Moyasiqin, "Mole can shear sheep independently so early? With two more years of training, he'll definitely be a master sheep herder."

Moyasiqin smiled and said, "She's still young and doesn't know how much she can do yet. She'll need to practice for a few more years."

"You'll get it with practice." Shi Wen patted Mole on the shoulder. "Our smart and hardworking young man will definitely have no problem."

After finishing with the sick sheep, Moyasiqin said, "There are also a few sick camels, probably with tetanus. Sikewell, could you take a look at them for me?"

Shi Wen, "Do you have camels at home?"

Moyasiqin: "Yes, several of them. They just had their fur trimmed, and they looked a bit listless. I thought they weren't used to it, but I didn't expect they were sick."

Moyasiqin took them to the backyard to see the camels.

Upon Shi Wen, Shi Wen saw several camels.

The camels are very tall, and perhaps because they are kept at home, their humps are well-developed and stand up.

However, they didn't look very good at this time; in fact, they were rather ugly.

Their fur had all been shaved off, revealing bare skin and short stubble. Perhaps because their owner wasn't very skilled at grooming, their skin was covered in scabs.

Meeting Shi Wen's gaze, Moyasiqin gave an awkward smile, "Camels have thin skin and poor hemostasis; they can easily leave wounds."

Shi Wen nodded in understanding.

The camels also got tetanus, but only three of them were sick. The other four camels were not sick. The reason they looked sickly was probably because they looked too ugly after being shaved and were traumatized.

Among the sick camels, one had recently given birth to a calf and was still nursing it.

I don't know if it's because the camel is sick, but the baby camel didn't seem to be in good spirits after drinking the adult camel's milk. It looked thin and weak, its eyes were barely open.

After examining the animal Sikewell said, "The most seriously injured one in your household right now is this baby camel. I don't know if it will survive."

Moyasiqin: "Really? It looks perfectly fine to me."

"If it were still healthy, it wouldn't be motionless." Sikewell cradled the baby camel's belly. "Its skeleton was okay, but it wasn't properly cared for, and it's gotten thinner and thinner. Now its condition is a bit dangerous. Do you have any other camels that can produce milk?"

Moyasiqin shook her head. "That's all."

Sikewell: "What about the dairy cows and sheep?"

Moyasiqin shook her head again.

Sikewell then said, "Then take it to other people's homes in the village and see if you can find it a wet nurse."

Moyasiqin said with a pained expression, "They've all gone to the summer pasture, where can we find a wet nurse? Can I go and buy some formula to feed them?"

Sikewell: "I'm afraid it's not very optimistic, but you can give it a try."

Shi Wen listened from the side, then looked at the little camel.

The little camel was so thin, its body flat and long; based on his limited experience, he knew it was unlikely the little guy would survive.

Shi Wen was pondering this, Sikewell suddenly turned around and said to him, "Shi Wen, do you have any cows or sheep that are currently producing milk?"

"Ah, yes, there are so many." Shi Wen realized, "Should I help feed them?"

Moyasiqin looked at Shi Wen with hopeful eyes. "Will it work?"

Shi Wen said tactfully, "You'll bring it over every day? That's a bit of a hassle. My cattle and sheep go out to graze every day, so it might be difficult for them to take care of the baby camel."

Moyasiqin sensed his refusal and awkwardly replied, "That's true."

Shi Wen and said, "If you don't mind, you can sell me this little camel."

If it's a baby camel you bought yourself, you can feed it with a bottle Shi Wen.

There was nothing that could be done about Moyasiqin's little camel; he couldn't possibly put so much effort into someone else's little camel.

Moyasiqin hadn't expected him to want to buy it, but she had heard about his story of buying the sick cow and knew he was very capable, and the price he offered was fair. "How much do you want to spend?"

Shi Wen, "What's the current market price?"

Sikewell: "A small camel costs about two or three thousand."

After saying that, Sikewell said to Moyasiqin, "Your little camel is sick; Shi Wen you sell it."

Sikewell had no intention of ripping off Shi Wen, and hesitantly asked, "Is 1200 okay?"

Shi Wen looked at the baby camel. The baby camel had a good skeleton and was a female camel. If it hadn't gotten sick and had been well cared for, it could have sold for three thousand without any problem. Now that it was sick, one thousand two hundred was still the market price.

"Sure," Shi Wen readily agreed, "I'll transfer the money to you."

After buying the baby camel, Moyasiqin insisted on having them stay for a meal, and even slaughtered a sheep to make hand-pulled mutton.

Shi Wen that this one sheep alone must have cost more than 1,200.

They really do keep business and hospitality very separate.

Sikewell and Shi Wen, unable to refuse their hospitality, stayed for a meal.

There were only four of them, and they definitely couldn't finish all the mutton made from one large sheep, so they only made one pot and froze the rest to eat slowly.

It was only now that Shi Wen learned that Moyasiqin's wife had passed away, and the father and son were left to depend on each other. Due to a lack of manpower, they hadn't even noticed when the livestock got sick.

After finishing his meal, Sikewell rode his motorcycle to take Shi Wen home.

So, Shi Wen sitting on the back of a motorcycle, holding a small camel in his arms, in an extremely strange posture.

The little camel was quite well-behaved; it didn't cry or fuss when he held it, its tiny body nestled in Shi Wen's arms. It was just that it was sick, and its little body was a bit cold.

When they arrived at the ranch, Heiwa and the others ran out to greet them. Shi Wen they saw that Shiwen had a baby camel in his arms, they all came over to sniff it enthusiastically.

The little camel was a little scared and kept hiding behind Shi Wen.

Shi Wen patted Heiwa's neck and pushed the Wolf King away, telling them not to be too enthusiastic.
