Chapter 485

Zhang Shuya looked at Wang An with a smile and said in a slightly frantic tone:

"What are you running for? Do you think I'd beat you to death?"

Wang An's smile did not fade, his posture did not change, and he said in a very unmanly way: "We've been busy all day; I'm just afraid you'll get tired, Big Sister. Besides, if you beat me up, as my dear sister, wouldn't your heart ache? It's not worth it."

Hearing this, Zhang Shuya rolled her eyes at Wang An, did not continue the conversation, and said very decisively: "Alright, I won't banter with you anymore. I'm leaving."

As she spoke, Zhang Shuya opened the door, got into the car, and quickly started the engine and shifted gears. The whole set of movements was smooth and coherent.

Immediately after, Zhang Shuya rolled down the window, waved at Wang An, and stepped on the gas to leave.

It must be said that at this moment, Zhang Shuya did indeed look dashing and heroic.

After watching Zhang Shuya leave, Wang An did not go into the house; he turned around and began to feed the four horses water and fodder.

These four horses had already rested for the time it takes to eat a meal, so they could now drink water and eat.

After preparing the fodder and placing it to one side, Wang An began to use a bucket to carry hot water from the house to the outside.

The hot water had been boiled by Mu Xueqing earlier; this is the habit of every family that raises mules and horses. As long as you use mules and horses, you must prepare hot water early.

Giving mules and horses water is like this: in summer, they can drink cold water all the time; in winter, when the livestock is very fatigued, it is best to drink warm water, which is cold water mixed with hot water.

Many people might be a bit puzzled, thinking that cold water mixed with hot water is water that cannot be drunk.

Because if the vast majority of people drink this kind of water, they will get diarrhea; only a small portion of people can withstand this kind of water.

However, there is absolutely no need to worry about mules and horses drinking this kind of water; not only is there no need to worry, but it is actually beneficial for them.

Actually, the reason why people cannot drink cold water mixed with hot water is not because it is poisonous, but because the bacteria naturally present in cold water become more active after adding hot water.

The human gastrointestinal tract cannot withstand these bacteria, but livestock simply ignore them.

And warm water causes less stimulation to mules and horses, so there is no so-called "cold pain" reaction.

In the countryside, almost every family that raises large livestock takes great care of them and will never be sloppy or careless.

After feeding the four horses water, Wang An fed them the fodder.

Drink water first, then feed fodder; that is the procedure.

But as Wang An watched the four horses eating from the baskets, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. The main thing was that the horse shed at home couldn't hold so many horses!

Actually, Wang An had discovered this problem when he brought the big blue horse back earlier, but at that time, although the horse shed was tight, it could still fit them.

Now, there was absolutely no way.

However, Wang An only thought for a while before turning back into the house.

It wasn't that Wang An had come up with a solution, nor was it that he had figured it out.

It was just that Wang An felt this problem should be left for his father to worry about. Wang An believed that his father would definitely be able to solve this problem perfectly!

If you don't use your father now, when will you?

As for Wang An returning to the house, he wasn't idle either. He found a syringe, attached a needle, took a clean canned food jar, and filled a pocket with corn kernels and a large handful of salt particles before heading toward the sheep pen.

That's right, Wang An was going to draw blood from the sika deer.

When Wang An arrived at the sheep pen, he found that his two younger sisters were also inside, but they were playing with the silly roe deer.

At this moment, the two little sisters were each riding on a roe deer, dancing with excitement.

Actually, Wang An had noticed that his two sisters weren't in the house when he got back. At the time, he thought the two children had run off somewhere to play and didn't pay any attention to it. Because children in this era all grew up like this; regardless of whether they were boys or girls, they would run around all day, and parents basically wouldn't bother to manage them.

But what Wang An didn't expect was that these two little girls could get along so harmoniously with the silly roe deer.

However, Wang An soon discovered the clue, because both little girls' pockets were filled with corn kernels.

He saw the older sister, Wang Xiaomei, showing off for a while, then stuffing a corn kernel into the roe deer's mouth—one at a time, never more.

The younger sister, Wang Xiaoli, was more generous, feeding them while showing off, and sometimes one kernel, sometimes two.

It must be said that these two children really knew how to play.

And what Wang An found most incredible was actually the roe deer, this divine beast itself.

Although they did indeed feed the roe deer corn kernels, the fact that the roe deer actually let them ride it was truly a novelty.

Discovering that Wang An had entered the sheep pen, the younger sister, Wang Xiaoli, just glanced at Wang An, and regardless of what Wang An wanted to do, she immediately ordered:

"Big Brother, I don't have any more corn kernels, can you go get me some?"

Wang An teased her with a smile:

"What's wrong? Do you love eating corn kernels now?"

Wang Xiaoli seemed to be stunned by Wang An's words, and the smile on her face instantly froze.

However, the little girl reacted quickly, and soon she laughed and said:

"I don't eat corn kernels, I want to feed the silly roe deer, hahaha."

Wang An grabbed a handful of corn kernels and handed them over, continuing to tease her with a smile:

"If you want to eat corn kernels, just tell your Big Brother, and Big Brother can let you eat them anytime."

Wang Xiaoli rolled her eyes at Wang An, opened her pocket, and pouted: "Hmph, stinky Big Brother, bad Big Brother."

After Wang An finished filling Wang Xiaoli's pocket with corn kernels, he rubbed her head hard and threatened helplessly: "If you dare to talk to Big Brother like that again, be careful, Big Brother won't buy you any more good things in the future."

Wang Xiaoli didn't even look up, but said confidently:

"I don't believe you, Big Brother, hmph."

After speaking, Wang Xiaoli didn't even look at Wang An and focused on teasing the silly roe deer.

This left Wang An feeling quite awkward, but fortunately, besides Wang An and his two sisters, there was only a group of livestock in the sheep pen, so no one was laughing at Wang An.

Wang An, feeling bored, glanced at his two sisters again and turned to walk toward the deer herd.

Drawing deer blood is a task that, as long as the first time goes smoothly, will go smoothly in the future. Otherwise, if you scare the deer the first time, it will be very troublesome the next time you draw blood, mainly because the deer will be very uncooperative.

Wang An first took out a handful of corn kernels to lure the deer herd over, then fed each deer a little bit. While the deer were chewing, Wang An took advantage of a doe not paying attention and hugged it.

Of course, the deer would definitely be startled and struggle after being hugged, so Wang An didn't rush to take action, but instead started scratching the deer's itch.

However, while scratching the itch, Wang An never let go of the deer, still hugging it tightly.

After a while, the doe finally adapted and let Wang An hug it without struggling anymore.

Only then did Wang An feed the deer a little more corn kernels before quietly taking the syringe out of his pocket.
