Chapter 360 Falling out of favor
On the way home, they passed a lake and stopped.
Let the little donkey and the big horse take a rest, drink some water, and replenish some energy.
Zhou Mingshu pulled a thing from the car, sprinkled some medicine powder in it, added lake water, stirred it, and gave it to the two little guys to drink.
"This horse is quite obedient. It drinks when you tell it to."
"That's because it knows this is a good medicine that can save its life."
The two of them sat on the grass to enjoy the cool air, waiting for the donkey and the horse to eat and drink their fill.
The horse was too thin, and if she didn't give it some medicine in advance, she was afraid it would not be able to return home.
After all, Lianglin Village is still far away from the county town.
After resting for about half an hour, they continued on their journey.
Zhou Mingshu sat on the saddle, and his line of sight was more than three times higher than if he was standing on the ground.
Although this horse is thin, it is not slow.
The little donkey behind was trying hard to catch up.
Damn it, I, the old donkey, have fallen out of favor today!
It was breathing heavily through its nostrils, and its four hooves were constantly rotating back and forth, kicking non-stop.
The things on the donkey cart were making a constant clanging sound, and my uncle's butt was almost broken in two.
"Saya, Sanya, don't run so fast. If you run faster, the donkey will run faster too. All the things in the cart will be gone."
After someone in the car behind shouted, Zhou Mingshu stopped the horse and asked it to run slower.
"Haha uncle, I just got a horse, I'm so excited."
"Haha, I understand, I understand. Let alone owning a horse, if I could have a donkey, I would be so happy that I'd be jumping for joy."

Qi Rui went to the restaurant to look for someone yesterday but didn't find him. Today he came to the village to look for someone but found nothing.
He felt depressed, but he swallowed it all.
Mingshu drove a donkey cart to the county town, and a round trip took a whole day.
If he chased along the road, he might miss it.
Forget it, he should go back first and look for it again when he has time.
But Mingshu just wants a horse. There are so many horses in the military defense camp, and so many foals were bred this spring. There must be one that Mingshu likes.
Qi Rui had already thought about what surprise he would give Lightning when they met next time. He gently pinched Lightning's abdomen with his calf and went back.
When returning from the county town, one must pass by Chen’s Baicaotang.
Zhou Mingshu had just gotten a horse and was feeling quite excited.
When they arrived at the place, they stopped and said, "Sister Banxia, come and see my horse. I just bought it."
Chen Banxia was preparing medicine at the counter. Upon hearing this, she immediately put down the small scale in her hand and followed Zhou Mingshu to the door.
When she saw it, she was shocked. Why is this horse so thin?
"Mingshu, were you tricked? Why did you buy such a thin and weak horse?"
Chen Banxia didn't dare to say anything harsh, for fear of undermining her confidence.
"Don't worry, Sister Banxia. Its previous owner didn't know how to raise it. I will slowly raise it and fatten it up."
"I hope so. Would you like my father to come over and see if he can prescribe some medicine for the horse?"
Chen Banxia said this, and Zhou Mingshu was about to refuse when Chen Sheng and Chen Gansong came out of the shop.
"You little girl, your father can take the pulse of people, but can he take the pulse of a horse?"
It is true that he can cure people, but he really can't cure horses.
"Sanyah, this horse must have some problem, but you don't have to worry too much. I met Lord Qi last time. Isn't he near your restaurant? He must have a veterinarian under his jurisdiction. You can ask him to take a look and he will definitely be able to cure it. Civilian veterinarians may not be able to help, but military veterinarians will definitely be able to help."
"Thank you Uncle Chen, San Ya knows. If it doesn't work, I will ask Master Qi for help."
We met the horses and talked about the weather.
Zhou Mingshu said goodbye to them and returned to Lianglin Village.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw a group of people gathered under the big willow tree. They were all their grandmothers and aunts.
I knew they should be back at this time, so I came here to wait for them since I had nothing to do.
See if they have brought back all the things they were asked to take.
I have been helping Lao Zhou's family for some time. Every household has some spare money and they all want to buy some things for their home.
Although there is not much difference between the things in the town and those in the county, it makes you feel proud to say "this thing was bought from the county".
As soon as the donkey cart stopped, the group of women and children gathered around.
Zhou Mingshu did not get involved in this matter, so he led the horse home first.
"Uncle, just bring the donkey cart here later."
The Zhou family didn't buy anything, so Zhou Mingshu didn't have to sit there and watch.
As soon as she left, everything was almost divided up.
"Why did this third girl bring back a dying horse?"
"This horse is so skinny that it's just a skeleton. I don't think it will live long."
……
Everyone was discussing the matter, and only the neighbor's uncle interrupted.
"Sanya said she could cure the horse's illness. If it can be cured, it won't be a loss. It's so thin but can run so fast. Even a donkey can't catch up with it."
He rubbed his butt and squatted down. He was really shaken by this little guy today.
Everyone's attention returned to the little donkey. Who knew that most of the vegetables in the basket in the hand of an aunt who was closer to the little donkey had been chewed by it.
"Give me back my vegetables, you stinky ass."
The little donkey was hit and turned his face away angrily, gasping for breath.
After seeing that everyone had taken their belongings, the uncle led the donkey cart back to Zhou Mingshu.
At this moment, all the big and small children in the family were circling around the horse.
I have to say, this horse is really thin, its belly is sunken.
Its fur is dirty and rough, not even as clean as the tiger that rolls in the mud every day.
They were both surprised and worried.
I'm really afraid that I might accidentally kill this horse.
That would be a big loss.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it for ten days or half a month, and it will slowly get better."
This horse has some parasites. All the nutrients it absorbs from the food it eats are eaten by the parasites in its stomach. That's why it can't gain weight and looks like it has no energy.
Just give some medicine to kill the parasites.
Its resistance is very weak now, so we won't clean its body. It would be bad if it catches a cold. The important thing is to nourish it first.
Ignoring the little donkey's opinion, Zhou Mingshu directly stuffed the horse into its donkey shed.
When it went back, the whole donkey was dumbfounded.
This big, stupid guy that I just brought home actually started competing with it for territory, and we even had to share a stone trough with it...
Donkey is unhappy, but Donkey can only howl.
Zhou Mingshu was annoyed by the noise, so he poured a bowl of its favorite eight-treasure beans, which diverted its attention. Nothing was more substantial than the eight-treasure beans.
Only after she had packed up the horse did Zhou Mingqin have the chance to tell her that Lord Qi had come to see her.
"Hmm? Did Lord Qi talk to me about something?"
"He didn't say anything. He went back when he heard that you went to the county town."
"Oh, that shouldn't be a big deal. It's getting late today so I won't go look for him."
Zhou Mingshu simply washed her face. After running around outside all day, she finally had the chance to take a break.
