"Hey, you're back!"
Yingbao's eyes were filled with tears of excitement. After comforting the deer, she took out a pair of scissors and cut the straps of the leather saddle.
There were several places on the fawn's back and abdomen where the hair had been worn away, and there were many small wounds, some of which had begun to rot.
I don't know how Yoyo managed to get the saddle off its back, but the leather belt that bound it couldn't be removed, so it suffered serious injuries.
Yingbao quickly took out the medicine powder and sprinkled it on its wound, then touched its head and asked, "Do you want to go back with me?"
Yoyo licked her face with her tongue, turned around and walked away slowly.
"Wait!" Yingbao was very sad. She ran over, took out some medicine and fed it to it, then let go.
Yoyo slowly walked to a tree and stood still, looking towards the forest with his head raised.
The ferocious antlers on its head look like a king's crown.
After a while, several deer emerged from the woods, including two does, two fawns, and two half-grown males.
Yingbao opened her eyes wide, feeling incredible.
It was the first time she saw so many deer. Could they be the tribe of Yoyo
The fawn next to the mother deer looked at Yingbao curiously, and didn't seem to be afraid at all.
Next, Yingbao saw Youyou leading the group of deer walking towards her, and finally standing near her. The deer looked at the human cubs in front of them curiously, and the young deer even came up to her to sniff.
Yingbao thought about it, took out some tender leaves from the cave and handed them to the deer.
Yoyo started eating first, then the fawn came over, and later even two doe and a half-grown male deer slowly approached.
Seeing that they had eaten all the leaves, Yingbao took out a handful of shepherd's purse produced in the cave and led them back.
When Chen Zhao and Xu Bao came over, they were stunned when they saw this scene.
"Yoyo is back. I'm going to take them home." Yingbao said to Chen Zhao, and led the deer back on her own.
When she led the deer into the village, Jiang Sanlang and many villagers came running over upon hearing the noise.
"Wow! The little fairy boy is worthy of being a fairy boy. He brings back such a large group of deer in just one trip." The villagers were full of admiration for Xiao Yingbao.
Jiang Sanlang was afraid that the crowds would scare the deer away, so he quickly asked his daughter to lead the deer back to their yard.
With Yoyo leading the way, even though the deer were a little panicked, they still followed them into the Jiang family compound.
Jiang Wu and Hu Zi were so happy that they ran home immediately to see the deer.
"I want to raise a little deer! Like Yoyo!" Hu Zi said excitedly.
Jiang Wu also said: "I want to raise one too!"
"I'll go cut grass and feed it now!" said Hu Zi.
Jiang Wu: "I'll go too!"
The two men looked at each other, neither willing to be outdone, and immediately picked up their backpacks and sickles and squeezed out of the crowd standing in the yard.
Seeing more and more villagers gathering, Jiang Sanlang had no choice but to say to them, "The deer have just returned and are a little shy. Stop watching and go back."
Seven deer squeezed into the stable in the yard. Except for Yoyo, the other six were trembling with fear under the gazes of the crowd.
Chen Yin smiled and said, "Brother Jiang San, can you sell one to my family?" He also wanted to raise a deer and raise it into a divine deer like Yoyo, so that he would feel proud when he took it out.
Chen Zhuer also said quickly: "Brother Jiang San, I also want to raise one and leave it to Xiao Yao as a mount."
Maybe in the future, the little deer will be able to bring home a group of deer.
Jiang Sanlang was a little embarrassed: "Let's talk about this later."
In fact, it mainly depends on the little girl's opinion. As long as she agrees, it is not impossible.
After all, there is no way to raise so many deer at home.
If I suggested killing one or half of them, my daughter would definitely not agree.
"Then it's a deal. You'll leave one for my family." Chen Yin was afraid that Jiang Sanlang would go back on his word, so he made it clear in advance.
Chen Zhu: "And me, Third Brother, don't forget me."
Jiang Sanlang said helplessly: "These deer still need to be tamed for a while, we will see when the time comes."
After finally sending the villagers away, Jiang Sanlang asked his daughter, "How are you going to raise these deer?"
Yingbao: "It's fine if they want to adopt the fawns, but they can't kill them for meat." Otherwise, they would be betraying Yoyo's trust.
Jiang Sanlang sighed: "Then let's build a deer farm over there in the wasteland and raise the deer there."
"Yeah." Yingbao meant the same thing.
The next day, Jiang Sanlang invited a dozen villagers to help him cut bamboo. He then built a bamboo fence on the wasteland and enclosed the deer inside.
Yoyo still follows Yingbao around, just like before.
February is the time to plant seedlings. Yingbao took out dozens of lychee seedlings and dozens of mandarin orange seedlings, as well as longan and papaya trees from the cave and planted them in her own orchard.
As a result, the orchard was further expanded, almost touching the vineyard and peppercorns.
When the villagers saw that the Jiang family had gotten a lot of fruit tree seedlings from somewhere, they also asked for two to take home and plant.
Yingbao simply distributed a few fruit seedlings to each of their households, and whether they could grow them or not depended on their luck.
Even at the school, Yingbao gave a few trees and planted them in the yard.
The old teacher and Li Xu both treasured the fruit seedlings that Yingbao sent them and planted them carefully in the school flowerbed, watering them every day.
As for vegetable seeds, he planted some in his own vegetable garden, gave some to his uncles and second uncles, and distributed the rest to the villagers.
Yingbao took out a bag of sesame from the big wooden box sent by the Xiao family and handed it to her father: "Our family will plant more sesame this year. People in the capital use sesame oil to cook. It's so fragrant."
Jiang Sanlang took the seed bag and asked, "How do I plant it?"
"Just turn the soil over and spread it in the ground, but you can't plant the seeds until March." At worst, she could water it again with pond water, and the seeds should germinate.
Jiang Sanlang believed his daughter completely and hurried to check which land of his family could be used to plant it.
According to my daughter, this amount of sesame seeds can be used to plant about five or six acres of land, so I just need to plow up six acres of land.
Spring is the busiest season. Villagers not only have to race against time to farm, but also have to weave the cotton stored at home.
Chunniang and her two sisters-in-law, in addition to cooking, washing clothes and cleaning the house every day, also had to spin yarn and weave cloth.
Several women have already been employed in her family's textile room, and some of them are spinning and some are weaving, all in an orderly manner.
These weavers were all girls from poor families in nearby villages. Chunniang provided them with cotton, tools and meals. For every piece of cloth they wove, they would receive fifty coins, which was equivalent to ten kilograms of grain.
The price is not low, because a skillful weaver can weave a whole piece of cloth in a day.
In order to let them concentrate on their work, Chunniang hired a woman, gave her one string of money every month, and asked her to cook and boil water for these weavers.
In the midst of all the hustle and bustle, March soon arrived.
The peach and plum trees have lost their flowers and are now filled with fruits.
All the fruit tree seedlings planted by Yingbao survived and grew quite tall.
The villagers' fruit seedlings also survived, but they did not grow as vigorously as those of the Jiang family.
That day, two officers suddenly came to the village.
The officer went straight to Jiang Sanlang's house and handed him a letter.
Jiang Sanlang felt strange when he saw that it was the same two officers from before.
When I opened the letter, I found out it was another document about enrolling my daughter in school.
What does this county medical department mean
Jiang Sanlang put the document back into the envelope and bowed to the two officers: "To be honest, my daughter is still young and can't leave home alone. So, we are not going to go to this county hospital."
