Chapter 94 (continued)

He himself did not have rigorous veterinary training, but his experience was there, and he could usually spot many problems at a glance.

The horse's legs had become noticeably stronger; the muscles no longer twitched or contracted, and it showed no signs of pain when touched.

Judging from this reaction, its leg should indeed be completely healed.

It was all worth it for Yan Kexing to stew so much bone broth and give it so many supplements lately.

Shi Wen gently tapped the horse's leg, then put it down and said to the horse, "You should be almost better now. Wait a moment, I'll find a professional veterinarian to take a look at you."

Horse: "Ah!"

Shi Wen taking his phone outside to call Sikewell.

Upon hearing this, Sikewell said, "I'll be right there, just wait a moment."

Shi Wen, "No rush, I'll wait for you at the ranch."

After calling Sikewell, Shi Wen moment and then called Baoye A Sai.

When Baoye A Sai received the call, his voice was clearly sleepy, but when he heard that the horse's leg was better, his voice cracked with excitement. "Really--!!!"

Baoye A Sai: "Brother Shi, I knew you could do it! That's wonderful! Wait a moment, I'll be right there to see it!"

Shi Wen also said, "No rush, be careful, don't drive too fast."

Baoye A Sai: "Okay, okay. Brother Shi, may I bring a veterinarian with me? We could also bring some equipment to give you a thorough check-up, just in case there are any future problems."

Shi Wen: "Of course."

Two hours later, Shi Wen, Yan Kexing, Sikewell, Baoye A Sai, and another veterinarian with instruments gathered around the horse, whose leg injury had just healed, and carefully examined it.

The veterinarian brought by Baoye A Sai stared at the scanning machine screen with disbelief. "It's really healed! Not only is it healed, but the muscle mass is even greater than before!"

Sikewell: "Let me see. He's in really good shape; you can hardly tell he ever had a leg injury."

"The medicine you gave us is very effective, and the supplements are also good. Most importantly, this guy is very cooperative." Shi Wen patted the horse's rump with admiration. "It's been tied up in the harness for several months, and it's still cooperated obediently. It really has great perseverance."

The horse turned its head, nuzzled Shi Wen: "Hee-ho."

Baoye A Sai: "It's all thanks to your good care. If it weren't for your meticulous attention, no amount of medicine would have helped it get to this state."

Shi Wen, "That's true. Overall, it was a combination of factors that contributed to its recovery."

After everyone checked, they were basically certain that the horse was better.

Baoye A Sai kept stroking the horse's neck with reluctance. "That's wonderful, you can run freely on the grassland again."

The horse nudged him, "Hee-hee--"

Shi Wen the two of them so affectionately together, Shi Wen smiled and said, "Now that you're all better, Baoye A Sai, you can take it back with you."

Baoye A Sai's eyes lit up immediately, but he quickly regained his composure, shook his head, and said, "I've already given it to you, you can keep it."

Shi Wen, "A gentleman doesn't take what others cherish. If you really can't stand it, just give me more money for maintenance."

Baoye A Sai shook his head again. "I've always believed in keeping my word since I was a child. Once I've said something, I can't take it back. You can keep it. If you don't mind, I'll come and see it when I have time, and I'll be satisfied."

Shi Wen noticed his eyes were a little red and pressed his shoulder, saying, "You really don't want to take it back? Otherwise, you can buy it back."

Baoye A Sai smiled with relief, "No, it's much happier here with you. Let it stay. You can give it a name; I see all the other animals on your ranch have names."

Shi Wen and Yan Kexing exchanged glances.

Yan Kexing said, "Let's use the surname 'Shi' this time."

Shi Wen scratched his head. "My surname is Shi. Let me think."

Everyone looked at him, waiting for him to choose a name.

Shi Wen wasn't good at naming horses, and under everyone's gaze, he almost named the horse "Shi Yan" (时燕), but that would be too simplistic. He reluctantly abandoned the idea and said, "This horse is a racehorse, it must run very fast. How about calling it -- Shi Suo)?"

Yan Kexing: "Which character?"

Shi Wen flies like an arrow, and the days and months pass like a shuttle.' I hope it runs as fast as the years."

Yan Kexing smiled and said, "A good name."

Sikewell added, "It sounds rather nice."

"Shi Suo," Baoye A Sai murmured, nodding with red eyes, "It's a good name. It sounds like 'thinking.' I hope it will think and learn more in the future, be more cautious, and not get hurt again."

Even as he said this, tears streamed down Baoye A Sai's cheeks. He wiped his face with his sleeve, saying, "No, I can't bear to leave. I have to go back right away. Just one more look and my heart will break."

Shi Wen amused and exasperated, handed him the tissue. "You wouldn't take it back, though."

Baoye A Sai sniffed. "I not only have to think about myself, but also about it. It's injured, how can we let it run as a racehorse every day? That would be too harmful to its health!"

Baoye A Sai couldn't bear it any longer, and quickly walked outside, wiping away her tears.

He's such a strong and robust man, yet he's crying like this; he truly can't bear to part with her.

Unable to dissuade him from the others, Shi Wen stopped trying and simply helped the veterinarian he had brought pack up the equipment and put it in their car.

After the horses were properly Shi Suo, they ran freely around the pasture for several laps.

It ran so fast that even the pigeons in his house couldn't resist competing with it in flight.

Even Yan Shi was still growing, she was not to be outdone and chased after him relentlessly.

So all the little guys on the ranch—from the dogs to the tiger cubs—were unwilling to be outdone, and they ran around with Shi Suo every day, being incredibly lively.

Shi Wen's livestock are now being herded around by a large group of little ones every day, and they no longer dare to run around.

There are also crows and other birds that occasionally land on the pasture—they used to peck at the grass where the Bress chickens and geese couldn't see them, but now that there are so many little creatures running around on the pasture, they don't dare to land.
