Yuwen Chengchao said that two days before he left Guan, he could arrive at Zhuma Lake.
Qin Xiao didn’t know why he chose this name before, and he didn’t understand the meaning until the team arrived at Zhuma Lake.
Before the sunset went down, the team had already come to a lake.
This lake is not small, and the water is clear. Under the setting sun, the water is shimmering and the surface is like a mirror.
There are obvious signs of caravans stationed around Zhuma Lake.
In addition to the traces of building a tent, there are also embers left by the bonfire, and more of the horse pegs nailed to the soil, so there is no need to re-pile the piles, saving a lot of trouble.
Everyone was refreshed when they saw the clear lake, and Yuwen Chengchao also ordered that the team stayed at Zhuma Lake overnight.
There is a natural water source here, which is suitable for camping.
However, this lake is in a depression, surrounded by undulating hills. Although the environment is suitable for camping, the terrain is very dangerous.
When I first left the customs, I could see far away.
But close to Zhuma Lake, the hills and high slopes will rise one after another, and the distance you can see is no longer as far away as before, especially the surrounding terrain. If someone approaches it, it is difficult to find.
Yuwen Chengchao and Qin Xiao certainly see this.
The deployment is now made. Use vehicles to circle the lake for half a circle, and then gather the horses on both sides, back to Zhuma Lake. Naturally, there is no fear of enemy attack behind, but you need to pay close attention to the front and the left and right. So they sent people to guard on the high **** in three directions, two in one direction, and then took turns at night.
When the sun sets, the camp has been set up, and the guards are in place. The others can’t help but go into the water one after another.
Since I set off, I haven’t had a chance to take a bath. Now there is a lake behind and a lake with clear water. Few people can resist the desire to go into the water.
Yuwen Chengchao also knew that the atmosphere of the caravan was quite depressing these days, and finally had a chance to relax a little, so he didn’t stop it, just let the guards be more vigilant.
Qin Xiao couldn’t help but take a good wash in the water, and returned to the shore, feeling extremely comfortable all over.
He saw several grooms feeding their horses. He thought that his Black Overlord hadn’t eaten for a long time. He used to find the groom who manages the horse feed. He saw that there were just a few wooden barrels with the horse feed just prepared to make the horse even more stable After half a bucket, he carried the bucket in one hand and the wooden scoop in the other, and reached Hei Bawang’s side.
The Black Overlord has a burst of temper, and every time he camps, he is tied to a place alone.
Put down the bucket, Qin Xiao touched the black king’s mane, and smiled: “Old man, I haven’t eaten it myself yet. I will bring it to you first. Is this good enough?” He took a scoop from the bucket. Ma Liu leaned to Black Overlord’s mouth.
The Black Overlord turned his head away, as if he had no interest in food.
“Why, you are still picky eaters?” Qin Xiao said: “Don’t you eat these before? Hurry up and eat, and if you have a good night’s rest, you will have to hurry tomorrow.” He followed the black mane lightly. After stroking it a few times to comfort him, he brought the wooden scoop to its mouth.
Hei Overlord stretched out his tongue and licked it this time, but he still didn’t eat, he turned his head quickly, and instead slapped his nose a few times, walking around in place, looking quite agitated.
Qin Xiao frowned, threw the wooden scoop into the bucket, and stroked the black king’s neck a few times.
Although Hei Bawang is lonely and arrogant, but there has been no picky eater before. He picks people not to eat, and other people are close to want to feed. He immediately loses his temper. Only Qin Xiao personally feeds this guy. Serving posts.
Today, it was uncharacteristically and did not eat. Qin Xiao suddenly became worried, lest this guy is uncomfortable because of his unwellness.
He knows
When the caravan goes long distances, they will prepare very carefully in advance, accompanied by a doctor and a veterinarian who specializes in treating horses.
After all, every time you go a long way, especially to the west for trade, it takes ten and a half months to say less on the way. It is common to go deep and back and forth for a few months. Both people and horses will be uncomfortable. The situation happened, so it is necessary to hire one or two doctors and veterinarians to follow the team to ensure that the people and horses can be diagnosed and treated when they are sick. This is also an essential preparation.
The Black Overlord seems to be in good spirits, and there is no sign of illness.
But it looked restless and still didn’t eat, which naturally worried Qin Xiao.
Although he has tamed the Black Overlord, the process of taming is really not because he understands the temperament of the horse. The method is completely strong.
The body of the black king was conquered first, and then he got his heart.
“Hey, come here.” Qin Xiao was worried, looked around, saw a groom not far away, beckoned.
The groom hurried over: “Deputy Commander Wang, are you looking for a villain?”
“I am worried that this horse is sick.” Qin Xiao said: “There is a veterinarian in the team, right?”
The man was also sensible, and immediately said: “The deputy commander, wait a minute, the villain will go to the vet immediately.”
This person ran away. It didn’t take long before he brought a little old man in his early fifties over. The little old man was obviously a veterinarian. He also knew that the deputy commander was looking for him. He was not slow, so he ran over, Qin. Xiao handed his hands: “Old sir, you can help me see. It ate horse feed at noon. Until now, I just fed it with horse feed, and it didn’t eat a bite.”
The veterinarian arched his hands and stepped forward to get closer to the Black Overlord. The Black Overlord immediately raised his hoof and hissed. The veterinarian was startled and hurried back.
“Old man, don’t move.” Qin Xiao hugged the Black Overlord’s neck hurriedly: “The old gentleman will show you if you are sick. Don’t lose your temper.” Shunmao stroked it and waited for the Black Overlord to calm down. Cautiously approached, trying to stretch out his hand, still hesitating, said to Qin Xiao: “Vice Commander, can you let Xiao Lao look at his tongue?”
“Of course.” Qin Xiao knew that the veterinarian was scared, so he didn’t bother him to personally whisper a few words against the Black Overlord, then pinched the Black Overlord’s mouth and let it open.
The veterinarian took a close look at his tongue, frowned, and then circled the Black Overlord, and finally squatted behind the Black Overlord’s buttocks, looking up to observe.
“Sir, can you see what the problem is?”
The veterinarian shook his head and said, “The tongue is normal, and there is nothing wrong with the anus.” He looked around and saw the horse dung pulled by the black bully. He approached him, lowered his head and smelled it. Qin Xiao looked in his eyes, really scared. He reached out his finger and dipped it to try the taste.
“Deputy commander, don’t worry, there is no big problem.” The veterinarian stood up and said, “From all aspects, this horse is healthy and not sick.”
“Then why doesn’t it eat?”
“Dare to ask the deputy commander, is it the first time to leave customs?”
Qin Xiao nodded, and the veterinarian smiled: “That’s right, it may be that the water and soil are not accustomed to it, and the appetite is not very good. Before going out, many horses have experienced similar situations. Don’t worry too much, try again later. Try, if you don’t eat tonight, you should recover tomorrow.”
Qin Xiao thought that the veterinarian’s remarks made sense, and smiled: “That’s good, thank you, old man.”
“No thanks, no thanks.” The veterinarian said with a smile: “Little old man retire first. If there are any problems, the deputy commander will call me again.”
When the veterinarian left, Qin Xiao patted Hei Bawang’s cheek and smiled: “I have adapted to the environment here, and your buddy should also quickly adapt.”
The veterinarian is very sure that Hei Bawang is in good health, and Qin Xiao still believes in the veterinarian’s ability. After all, this is Yuwen’s caravan and it is impossible to hire
A quack doctor follows the team.
It’s getting dark. Everyone has had dinner and rested early.
Most of the caravans are not leaving the customs for the first time. I know very well that after passing Zhuma Lake, they will be in the Gobi area. The environment is harsh and the physical strength will be more exhausted. You must recharge your energy at night. .
Qin Xiao was going to take turns in the middle of the night, so he lay down early, and not long after sleeping in a daze, he suddenly heard shouts from outside.
He was very alert. Hearing the sound, he turned over and sat up. He copied the big knife on the side and rushed out of the tent, only to hear someone shouting, “Veterinarian, which tent is the vet in?” Not far away, looking at the silhouette of his figure, it seemed to be Ning Zhifeng, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Fifth Brother Ning, what’s wrong?”
“Brother Wang, did you wake you up?” When Ning Zhifeng saw Qin Xiao, he knew that he had just woke up, and apologized: “I’m sorry. I’m looking for a veterinarian. I don’t know which tent I am in.”
“What do you do with a vet?”
“Some horses are not right.” Ning Zhifeng frowned: “Just now the groom came to report that there were several horses lying on the ground panting, unable to stand up, and having diarrhea and loose feces.”
Qin Xiao’s heart was stunned. At this moment, he saw Fat Yu and Dapeng hurrying over. It looked like they had just woke up.
“Crazy man, what’s the matter?” Fat fish frowned and said, “Everyone is asleep, so what is it?”
“Find a veterinarian.” Ning Zhifeng said: “There are several horses that cannot be made.”
“Huh?” Fat Yu was also taken aback. He did not speak yet, and Yu Wen Chengchao’s voice came from behind: “Where are the horses?”
Several people looked over, and Ning Zhifeng hurriedly said: “Over there, Grandpa, I will show you.”
Everyone followed Ning Zhifeng to the left. There were dozens of horses gathered here, all tied to the pegs. At this time, several horsemen were very anxious. Seeing Yu Wencheng approaching, there was already a horseman welcoming him. He said with a crying voice: “My son, it’s not good…it’s not good, a few more horses have fallen down.”
Everyone was taken aback. Qin Xiao also saw clearly at this moment that there were nearly ten horses lying on the ground among the horses, weak and seemingly struggling, and there was a smell of dung.
Before camping, horse dung was naturally essential, but there had never been such a strong smell of dung under the right eye. This smell was obviously not right.
Yuwen Chengchao quickly walked into the group of horses and squatted on the edge of a horse. The horse was lying on the ground, with dung behind its buttocks. Qin Xiao was following along. It was close at this time. The smell is disgusting.
The horse was panting, weakened, and tried to struggle several times, but it was obviously weak.
Qin Xiao thought that even if he was a human being, he couldn’t be more powerful if he was drawn like this.
“When did it start?” Yu Wencheng turned his head to look at Ning Zhifeng with a solemn expression.
Ning Zhifeng and Geng Shao were on duty in the first half of the night, and he was the first to find a veterinarian, so he naturally understood the situation quite well.
“Just now, they told me that a few horses had fallen down and had diarrhea and loose feces.” Ning Zhifeng said hurriedly, “I took a look and felt that something was not right, so I hurried to the veterinarian, but I didn’t know he was there. Which tent can only call him.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard another horse hiss. Several people followed the sound, only to see a horse swaying not far away, and soon he paused and lay on the ground struggling.
“Fat fish, let all the guards get up.” Yu Wencheng said coldly: “Keep your eyes open and stare at the four sides, here at the camp, strengthen your guard and get out of the scabbard.”
Fat Yu knew that something was wrong, so Yu Wencheng gave orders and immediately stepped back to make arrangements.
