Dashan Makes a Living 1984

"Well, let's not talk about this, let's see how the operation will be performed, and what should we prepare?"

"Take the dog to an empty room first, heat the kang inside, and then prepare a basin of shochu for me, with a higher alcohol content, preferably Qingcheng Baijiu, 75% alcohol. A sharp knife, yes, you can use this one, light the wine, and burn the knife well to get rid of the bacteria on it..."

Liu Yuan is also a family man.

Just do what he said, he arranged things for Wang Tianxiao over and over again, while going back to his room to get the needle and thread for the wound.

Wang Tianxiao and his wife also hurriedly started preparing things.

He prepares wine, while his wife heats up the empty kang, because there is no bedding on the kang, and the room is relatively small. The fine coals in the kang burn very hot, and the heat radiated quickly It filled the whole room and made the room warm like spring.

Wang Tianxiao put a clean wooden board on the kang, and the wooden board was covered with oilcloth.

Then put the dog on the oilcloth.

He temporarily wrapped the dog's mouth with a cloth bag and bound his front legs.

It will be very painful to have an operation later, and there is no anesthetic in the mountains, so the dog can only hold on.

After all, it is not his own dog. Although he and Liu Yuan tied thick cotton and animal skins on their arms, they still put something on the dog's mouth. Personal injury is not good.

After everything was ready, Liu Yuan poured half of the wine into a small foreign porcelain washbasin, then lit it with a match, and soon the wine in the washbasin ignited, emitting a blue flame.

He put Wang Tianxiao's beloved dagger on the fire and roasted it repeatedly. After a few minutes, he exchanged glances with Wang Tianxiao, "Let's start."

Wang Tianxiao nodded, and whispered in Gouzi's ear, "Don't be afraid, we're doing it for your own good. You can stand up after the bones are reorganized."

While speaking, he gently stroked the dog's head with his hand.

The dog started to stare at him with wide eyes, and slowly closed his eyes under his comfort.

"bring it on."

Wang Tianxiao put his hand on Gouzi's head and asked Liu Yuan to do it.

If the dog wants to resist, he will suppress it immediately.

At this time, regardless of whether it is willing or not, it can only hold on.

"Zi."

Liu Yuan's knife gently cut a few centimeters open in Gouzi's abdomen.

Gouzi's body twitched suddenly, and it suddenly opened its eyes, with rounded eyes, staring at Wang Tianxiao.

Wang Tianxiao was startled a little at first, and hastily pressed his legs against the dog's legs, and tried to press down on the dog's head with his hands, but what surprised him was that after the momentary convulsions, the dog didn't resist anymore, and closed the door again. on the eyes.

Although its painful limbs were trembling, it restrained itself and did not violently resist, just like a hero, silently enduring the severe pain but unwilling to give up at all.

Gouzi's tenacious attitude also deeply moved Liu Yuan.

He was no longer afraid of anything, and began to quickly straighten the dog's misplaced bones, then quickly sewed up the wound, and made four braces for the dog so that it would not press on the bones.

It took less than half an hour to finish everything.

When he tied the last knot, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the kang, but because the kang was too hot, his buttocks hurt when he lay directly on the kang, so he jumped off the kang in a hurry.

"Good performance."

Wang Tianxiao gently untied Gouzi's legs, and patiently helped Gouzi comb the messy hair with his hands.

Gouzi has been enjoying his eyes closed.

It enjoyed the kindness given by this stranger, Wang Tianxiao, and began to fully accept it.

"I want to go to rest. I will put down the fire in the kang a little later. It will not be too hot. Don't give me food for now, and I will talk about it tomorrow. Let's watch it tonight. If something happens, the first Time will notice."

"Yes." Wang Tianxiao nodded.

"Every dog's physique is different. Its current condition is not bad, but it is hard to say that it will not deteriorate. Wait until you go to the veterinary station in the town to buy some anti-inflammatory drugs. Prepare some injections and oral ones. You need to eat some. Anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent wound inflammation. In this winter, once the inflammation is more difficult to treat."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work Uncle Liu, you should take a good rest and leave the rest to me."

"Then I'm going back."

Liu Yuan left the room with heavy steps.

Although it was only a minor operation, he was quite old after all, and it was still a bit powerless to continue such high-intensity things.

Li Yali came in with Wang Peng in her arms. Little Wang Fang was lying on the door frame and watching secretly. Beside her were a few dogs and two cats.

"What's the matter?" Li Yali looked at the half-dead dog on the kang and asked worriedly.

She is also a person who likes animals, which is very similar to Wang Tianxiao, so the dogs at the station are obviously Wang Tianxiao's partners, but they all like her very much.

"For the time being, the bones have been straightened. Uncle Liu said he wants to see it at night."

"Poor guy," Li Yali thought of something, and said softly, "When you left today, you didn't say you would meet a blind man in the mountains. You are really brave enough."

Li Yali has a gentle personality, and even such half-complaining words won't make Wang Tianxiao feel bad.

"I haven't thought about dealing with bears. Most of them hibernate, and there are very few that really wander outside. Generally speaking, if you don't deliberately disturb their bear barns, there will be no danger. Those two people obviously It was greedy for profit, and he was going to make a fortune, so he caused a catastrophe."

"How do you know that they are going to make copper gallbladder?"

"Sure, if you think about it, if they just want to hunt the bear, why bother to wake the bear up, just kill the bear in the cave, why bother to provoke it."

"That's true." Li Yali understood, "But they are really hardworking. They don't have a good gun. They dare to provoke bears with just two old-fashioned guns. Maybe they are drunk?"

"Haha, I don't know, I haven't talked to the two of them, and I don't know where they are from."

"If it weren't for you, they would all be licked to death by bears. It's scary to think about it. You can't learn from them. Even if you hunt, you have to know when enough is enough. Don't provoke this kind of beast, it's too scary."

"I know, if it is not a last resort, under normal circumstances I will not provoke black bears." Wang Tianxiao nodded, "there are not many black bears in the mountains, if they keep hunting, they may be completely extinct. Animals in the mountains are indispensable, and without black bears, this balance will be destroyed."

Li Yali actually didn't understand Wang Tianxiao's underlying meaning. She didn't have the concept and awareness of ecological balance, but subconsciously felt that her husband's words made sense, so she nodded.

"You want to take Pengwa and Fangwa to rest, I will stay here tonight. Whether this dog can survive tonight depends on whether it can survive tonight. By the way, Uncle Liu must be tired just now , you help feed the deer, especially the doe, now is the critical time, so don't be careless."

"Okay, I'll hug you a quilt later."

"OK."

Wang Tianxiao watched his wife go out, and got off the kang to see her out, but as soon as he got off the kang, the dog opened its eyes, stared at him nervously, as if afraid that he would leave, and abandoned it again.

Wang Tianxiao had no choice but to turn back, sit on the top of the kang and pat it on the head, "Don't worry, I won't go anywhere tonight, I will stay here with you, you have to be stronger, think about it, you are a dog who has fought against the black blind man, He is a battle hero, and in the future, among your dog companions, with this record, he will be able to brag for a lifetime."

Gouzi stared at him with dark eyes, not knowing what he was talking about.

But Gouzi is best at trying to figure out people's thinking through people's eyes. It can see the softness and kindness in Wang Tianxiao's eyes, and finally relaxes, closes its eyes and falls asleep again.

Wang Tianxiao gently helped it rub its back, let it continue to relax, and try to maintain a comfortable posture.

Animals are better at healing than humans, but less resistant than humans.

So the animal either dies or recovers quickly. The most important thing is to see if it can survive the critical stage.

As the sky gradually darkened, Li Yali brought in the food, and Wang Tianxiao sat on the kang and ate something casually. During the meal, the dog seemed to smell the aroma, opened his eyes and looked again, and licked his lips.

But it can't eat now, Wang Tianxiao had no choice but to continue to comfort it, and it fell into a deep sleep again.

Wang Tianxiao leaned against the wall thinking about things in the first half of the night, and fell asleep without knowing it. In the second half of the night, he suddenly felt his face itchy. When he opened his eyes, it turned out that the dog was licking his face.

Turn on the kerosene lamp, see Gouzi's eyes are much more lively under the light, and then touch his body, the slight trembling feeling has disappeared.

Finally, the most dangerous stage has passed.

Later, he slowly recuperated, and he was relieved.

.

After dawn, Wang Tianxiao left one of the bears brought back yesterday, and took the remaining three bears, bear bile and astragalus to the city.

Bear bile is a good thing, and it can only be sold at a good price to Zhang Wenyuan.

Bear bile wine is far more valuable than stag blood wine.

Needless to say, bear legs, bear paws are the ultimate delicacy for many people who like to eat game, and they can also make a small fortune.
