Chapter 97 Infection with Rotten Lung Disease

"Then you should study hard."

Ji Sisi was a little worried that Shen Zichen might get confused since he was learning about both humans and animals. But she thought it was unlikely, as diagnosis and rescue were very serious matters.

Shen Zichen isn't stupid; in fact, he'll learn some knowledge so we won't have to hire a veterinarian.

Ji Sisi voluntarily gave up her seat so that the people inside could come out.

Shen Zichen walked a short distance, then turned around and called out to Ji Sisi, "Ji Sisi, why don't you come with us to take a look?"

"What can I do there?"

“The two of them remember a lot of details, and I’m afraid I might have missed something,” Shen Zichen added.

Captain Ma agreed with him, "Yes, Sisi, you're the smartest. It's good to go and take a look. It's an extra layer of insurance. There's nothing urgent in the team anyway."

Now that a large area of ​​the experimental plot has been cleared, we can quickly plant some other grains, and this year's harvest might actually be better than last year's.

The fertilizers from the experimental site were stored in a separate warehouse. Now that the experimental site has been destroyed and the agricultural supplies department has not taken the fertilizers back, doesn't that mean they can use them now?

Captain Ma could almost see the day when the grain was delivered in September, a day when the Sixth Locust Flower Production Team would finally be able to hold its head high!
Ji Sisi had no choice but to go along.

As they walked, Shen Zichen would steal glances at Ji Sisi every now and then, as if he had something to say.

Ji Sisi held back for half the journey, but when they were almost there, she couldn't help but speak up.

"What exactly are you trying to say? You've looked at me twenty-three times over this two-kilometer stretch of road. Do you need something from me?"

Shen Zichen was exposed and looked embarrassed. He opened his mouth to defend himself, but before he could say anything, he swallowed his words.

Finally, he told the truth, "You probably haven't told anyone else about what happened to me, have you?"

"Who are the other people you're referring to? Captain Ma, my husband, or someone else?"

Ji Sisi had the idea to tease him.

"It's that woman who went to dig for caterpillar fungus with you last time..."

After saying that, Shen Zichen hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean anything else. I just felt that it wouldn't matter if male comrades knew, but if female comrades knew, I was afraid they would misunderstand me."

It looks like they're trying to hide something obvious.

After hearing this, Ji Sisi finally understood Shen Zichen's ulterior motives.

It turns out he fell in love with Lin Miao at first sight; no wonder he went to great lengths to inquire about her.

"I told you, when you went in, I was so anxious that I shared it with her, hoping she could help me out."

Shen Zichen's pupils dilated in shock. He stopped in his tracks. "You really told her?"

"Well, I haven't had a chance to explain to her yet. I've been too busy lately. You can explain to her in person next time you see her."

Shen Zichen caught up with Ji Sisi in two steps, "Then when can I see her?"

"Shen Zichen, have you fallen for my friend? Otherwise, why are you so concerned about her feelings?"

Ji Sisi stared directly at Shen Zichen, her eyes probing.

Shen Zichen looked away guiltily, "You've misunderstood. I just don't like it when people misunderstand me."

"You two won't see each other again, so your worries are unnecessary. In time, she might even forget about you. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Ji Sisi's words were like a bucket of ice water poured over Shen Zichen's head and down to his heels, chilling him to the bone.

Ji Sisi noticed his hurt expression, pursed her lips, and didn't say anything more.

We don't know the other party's situation yet. If she rashly tries to make a match, it will only cause trouble for Miaomiao. Besides, can Miaomiao's parents accept a sent-down youth?

The concept of freedom of marriage is difficult to achieve even in later generations, let alone now.

When they arrived at the herdsman's home, Shen Zichen's expression finally improved.

Sick yaks don't want to go out and just rest in the shed. All the other yaks are sent up the mountain and will only come back to rest at night.

The shed was very simple, surrounded by a fence made of stone bricks, many of which were severely damaged by the yaks.

"It stopped eating and drinking three days ago, and in just three days it became so thin that its bones were showing. It wouldn't eat any grass or feed, and its feces were very loose. At first, we thought it was just a poor appetite, but after giving it medicine for a few days, it didn't work..." The herdsman looked worried, sighing as he spoke, and stroking the cow with heartache.

Brother Liu circled the cow, asking, "How does it sleep?"

"It's strange, but ever since I got sick I've been sleeping standing up. I've been standing like this for the past few days and haven't gotten down even once."

Brother Liu nodded, having confirmed the symptoms, and said anxiously, "Bring it out quickly, get a bucket of lime water, and disinfect the shed as soon as possible, making sure every corner is cleaned up."

The herdsman dared not delay; he waved his small whip, and the yak emerged from the shed.

Shen Zichen and Ji Sisi followed behind Brother Liu.

Ji Sisi asked, "Brother Liu, is this disease contagious?"

“I suspect it’s bovine pulmonary disease, which we call ‘rotten lung disease’ in the countryside. It’s one of the diseases that cattle fear the most, and it spreads very quickly.”

Brother Liu's face was serious, his brows furrowed. "The situation is very serious. This cow can't be saved. I'll observe the rest when we get back to see if they've been infected."

The herdsman walking ahead also heard it.

"Dr. Liu, this won't do! Look at this cow, it's still alive. Maybe it can be saved? We've already lost several, and there aren't many left. If another one dies..."

The herdsman said in despair, "Three of them died last time, and we didn't know how to explain it to Director Yan. Now four more have died. If this one also dies, we're going to be criticized to death!"

Ji Sisi stepped in to organize, "Now is not the time to talk about this, and this is not something you can control. Please go and get the lime water first, so we can all disinfect as soon as possible."

The herders had no choice but to suppress their emotions and hurry to get some lime water.

Shen Zichen asked, "How could I suddenly get this lung disease? What is the cause? Is there really no cure?"

Shen Zichen had spent a long time in Huaihua and knew how important breeding was; the death of even one head would result in a heavy loss.

"This one has already missed the best time for treatment and is already in the late stage. This disease has a long incubation period and slow onset. Including this one, there are five of them. I reckon the others have also been infected."

Brother Liu was in a dilemma and let out a long sigh.

“It can still be treated in the early stages. As for the medicine, it’s not available in our county, and it’s probably not enough in the city either, since the city is too far away and the medicine is expensive.”

Brother Liu's words were filled with helplessness.

Shen Zichen also fell silent. Huaihua Commune simply couldn't come up with that much money, and asking the county for medicine also required going through procedures and waiting for approval.

By the time the money arrives, I'm afraid everyone will be dead...

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

Ji Sisi was also in a dilemma, as one problem after another arose.

She vaguely remembered that the cattle and sheep of the sixth team were placed on the grassland and slope opposite, and the fifth and second teams were next to each other. They were all in similar areas, except that the places where they slept at night were different.

The grazing environment was similar, and Brother Liu had also ruled out the feeding environment and feed.

They might have been infected by yaks from other production teams.

In that case, the fifth and second teams probably won't fare much better.

Could it be that she took leave, which is why we didn't hear the news?

Logically, such a major event should have been reported long ago.

If this situation is not brought under control, the entire Lu County will suffer heavy losses.

"I'll go report to Director Yan. You guys stay here to screen for those who are infected. When Director Yan arrives, he'll give us a rough estimate."

The two agreed.

Ji Sisi quickened her pace, and once she returned to Team Six, she channeled her grief and anger into her strength, pedaling her bicycle furiously.

It took half an hour to reach the commune gate.

After locking her car, Ji Sisi sped off towards Director Yan's office.
