Chapter 7 Delivering a Cow Pregnant with Twins
"Is this cow pregnant?"
"Auntie, my cow is pregnant and won't be able to give birth. I went to the old veterinarian in the village and said it was dystocia. Otherwise, how can I pull this cow out and sell it? If I kill it while it's still alive, I can still survive. There is fresh meat, but it won’t taste good if it’s dead and sold.”
The aunt nodded, "It's just such a big cow. Who can buy it except a restaurant?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a pot-bellied man walked over with a leather bag under his arm.
"I want this cow."
The man was overjoyed and said, "Brother, how much do you plan to pay for this cow?"
The man frowned, wiped away the cigarette in his hand, and showed his yellow teeth, "500 yuan."
500 yuan?The man's face fell.
"Brother, my cow weighs more than 500 kilograms. Even if you don't count the weight of the calf, isn't this 500 yuan too little?"
The man rubbed his hands and looked at the man with some embarrassment, "Brother, you are raising the price."
"500 yuan." The man looked at the middle-aged man decisively, his face full of determination. No one here except himself could eat this cow.
You know, beef is an expensive item in this era. Otherwise, why wouldn't the man kill it himself and sell it? Even if he kills it, he may not be able to sell it.That's why men drag cattle to this black market to sell them.
The man was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. The old man stood up and said, "If you don't want to sell it, I won't sell it." The cows he worked so hard to raise were going to be sold at a low price, and the old man was unwilling to do so.
"Weiguo, the cow has helped our family a lot, why can't we abuse it like this!"
The man's face was not good-looking either, but he had been here all morning and no one asked. The man was the only one who was interested in buying it.
"Brother, what do you think of eight hundred? Can you buy it?"
The man waved his hand in disgust, "Forget it if I don't sell it."
Li Qingran looked at the glint in the man's eyes. Beef in this era was more expensive than pork. Ordinary beef could be sold for 1000 cents to [-] cents a pound. This cow could be sold for at least [-] yuan. The man in front of him had spotted this pair. Father and son.
It's none of his business, but I really can't stand this man's behavior.
Li Qingran pulled away from the crowd and squatted in front of the uncle.
"Uncle, you are such a cow, I don't think you are completely incapable of giving birth."
The old man's cloudy eyes looked at the thin but energetic little girl in front of him.
He sighed deeply and touched the old cow kneeling on the ground.
"Girl, I asked someone to check it out. It really doesn't work."
Li Qingran was breathing heavily as he watched, and some blood was already seeping out of the cow's lower abdomen.
Stretch out your hand and carefully feel the calf in the belly of the old cow.
And breath.
Touched it carefully.
His brows were tightly wrinkled.
Two heartbeats.
Are these cows pregnant with twins?
"Uncle, you are pregnant with twins!"
Immediately, many onlookers exclaimed, "Twin cows? No wonder it's difficult to give birth. It's definitely impossible to give birth. This is how the cows of my cousin's second brother's house next door died a few years ago."
The old man nodded, "Yes, the village veterinarian also said that there is nothing we can do."
Li Qingran looked at the old man's desperate eyes, and then looked at Lao Niu's eyes, and couldn't bear it.
"Old man, I have a way to save your cow. Do you believe me?"
"what?"
"Dad, look at how she could do this at such a young age. Don't let her fool you."
The old man's son stared at Li Qingran for a few times as if he didn't believe it.
It's not her fault. There were very few doctors in this era, and most veterinarians were only known by word of mouth. If such a thing had not happened to her, the cow would have died.
"Girl, are you really good at this?"
Li Qingran pulled Song Yan who was standing aside. "Uncle, don't worry, I won't lie to you. This is my man, Song Yan, from the army. He is from the Beiying Military Region army in front of me. Can I still lie to you?"
Song Yan watched the little woman pull the tiger skin neatly to make a big flag, and saluted the old man.
"Oh, my dear, I believe it, I believe you. It's good to be a soldier. This young man looks handsome."
As he spoke, he wiped the tears from his face and said, "Weiguo, we won't sell this cow anymore. It can be saved."
"Daughter, my surname is Zhao, and this is my eldest son, Zhao Weiguo."
"Uncle Zhao, don't worry, I will help you deliver the cow smoothly. Let's move to another position."
Turning to look at Song Yan. "Comrade Song, please help me find some tools."
Song Yan nodded.
Soon, several people worked together to move the cow to the open space outside. While everyone was busy, Li Qingran secretly poured some spiritual spring water for the old cow to drink.
He also pulled a handful of herbs that can boost energy from the space and pretended to pull some grass from the roadside for the old cow to eat.
The old cow drank water and took herbs, and it was obvious to the naked eye that the cow was much better. Li Qingran helped the old man make the cow stand up.
At this time, Song Yan came back with tools.
Li Qingran was wearing gloves and holding a rope.
"Help me hold it and don't let it hurt you."
As he said that, he walked towards the back. After checking just now, of the two cows, the one in front had an abnormal fetal position, which caused dystocia.
The first thing now is to straighten the fetal position and then use the traction rope to assist in the delivery.
Li Qingran washed himself with Lingquan water.
She put her hand into the birth canal of the cow, felt the position of the calf, clamped her feet, and pushed slowly. Little by little, beads of sweat fell to the ground along her chin.The cow also felt pain and her whole body kept shaking.
"Okay!" Finally the fetal position was adjusted, and Li Qingran tied the rope to the calf's feet.
Pull it down slowly, a little bit, and a little bit more.
"Come out, come out." The old man was so excited that his whole body was shaking.
Many onlookers also marveled. They did not expect that this girl was so thin and small, but her skills in delivering babies were quite experienced.
Finally, with a final push, the first calf was pulled out.
Song Yan pulled down his shirt and wiped her sweat.
"Well done, Comrade Li."
Li Qingran stuck out her tongue and said, "I still need to trouble Comrade Song for help."
The second calf's fetal position was in the positive position. Li Qingran gently massaged the cow's abdomen with her fingers, from front to back and from top to bottom, to help the cow contract.
But it was really limited by his body, and his whole face turned pale.
"Let me do it, you teach me." Song Yan dragged Li Qingran, who had lost all his strength.
"Like this..." The hand was so thin that only bones could be seen, but it was so white that blood vessels could be seen.
Song Yan got started quickly, and after half an hour, the second calf was finally born.
"Thank you so much, my dearest daughter. If it weren't for you today, our family would..."
As he spoke, he knelt on the ground.
"I can't help it. This is what I should do. As a military wife, this is my mission!"
The old man wiped his tears and was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
"Uncle Zhao, remember to go back and give the cow some anti-inflammatory medicine, and the veterinarian will disinfect her. I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."
"Auntie, my cow is pregnant and won't be able to give birth. I went to the old veterinarian in the village and said it was dystocia. Otherwise, how can I pull this cow out and sell it? If I kill it while it's still alive, I can still survive. There is fresh meat, but it won’t taste good if it’s dead and sold.”
