She was robbed by the leader of the family and had three children.

Chapter 575 Wild Goats

Lin Xiaojie: "No, do you want to go and watch the fun? I'll take you to see it."

Yaya thought about it, shook her head and refused: "No, I still have to go back to read."

Lin Xiaojie didn't force her: "Okay, I'll look at it later and tell you later."

Yaya smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

Then he quickly ran back to the infirmary.

Ye Shu was buried in a book. When he heard her come back, he asked, "What's going on outside?"

Yaya: "I heard from Brother Xiaojie that a large group of wild goats came outside, and the uncles are busy catching them!"

Ye Shu's eyes lit up. He had brought back a ram before and had been talking about catching a ewe, but he hadn't set off yet. Unexpectedly, this sheep came to his door?

And it's not just one, it's a group?

Is there such a good thing?

Now Ye Shu couldn't sit still anymore. She had been reading for a long time and needed to stand up and walk around.

She is also a pregnant woman now, and sitting for too long is not good for her health.

After hearing this news, he immediately became eager to move: "Let's go out and take a look."

Yaya actually wanted to go and see it just now, but she didn't go because she was concerned that her master was still learning and it would not be convenient for her, a young apprentice, to go and play alone.

Now that Ye Shu said he would go, she couldn't ask for more.

Zong Hui also closed the book, put down the pen, stood up and stretched: "Then let's go together."

There really was a large group of sheep outside. Densely packed wild goats of all sizes were surging in the snow, sometimes pushing towards one side, sometimes pushing towards this side. But it was obvious that the flock was very restless.

The soldiers scattered around the flock, waiting for an opportunity to catch the sheep.

However, the area is open, and wild goats run very fast and are very strong, so it is possible to hunt them.

But it is not easy to capture it alive.

In the camp, for safety reasons, Political Commissar Lin did not allow anyone to leave the compound to look at the human brain.

So the children put up ladders and climbed up the wall to watch, and some brought stools and tables and stood on high places to watch the fun.

Ye Shu also found a high ground to watch and couldn't help but worry for the soldiers.

Sister Jin and her friends also came, and they kept saying "ooh-oh" while watching, and were curious: "So what's wrong with these wild goats? Is there anything here that attracts them?"

It was said before that the wild boars came down the mountain to look for food, and it was the people from Camp No. 2 who robbed the wild boars of their food and marked their scent.

So why did the wild goats suddenly appear this time?

Ye Shu thought thoughtfully: "Could it be related to the ram they got before?"

Not only did she think of it, but Political Commissar Lin and the others also thought of it: "That might be the leader!"

Because they got the lead sheep, the flock followed.

With this speculation, Political Commissar Lin became even more excited: "Catch the sheep! Catch as many as you can! Keep them all in captivity!"

These wild goats have obviously adapted to the local winter climate and will not freeze to death due to low temperatures.

So there is no need to worry about whether they can survive if raised outdoors. The only thing to worry about is the sturdiness of the sheep pen so that they cannot run away!

Soldiers: "Are we going to catch them all?"

Political Commissar Lin: "Try to catch them all! The leader is here, so it should be easier to catch. If some get away, it's okay."

Anyway, his main purpose was to raise goats so that he wouldn't have to worry about eating mutton later.

Ye Shu looked at the soldiers running outside the flock, waiting for an opportunity to catch the sheep, and suddenly thought of something.

If we raise sheep and rabbits on such a large scale, what will we do if these livestock get sick?

There's no vet here!

I have to remind Political Commissar Lin about this matter. He must send a few comrades out to study.

The wasteland is not suitable for recruiting new people, so we can only continue to develop the skills of existing personnel.

But for now, let’s just watch them catch the sheep. Anyway, even if we don’t raise these sheep, we can catch them and eat them!

You definitely can’t finish it in one winter, but it can be made into bacon!

It will take more than a short time to catch so many sheep.

Ye Shu looked for a while and then left, followed closely by Yaya and Zong Hui.

It was almost dark that day when we finally managed to deal with all the wild goats.

However, they did not capture them alive, nor did they kill them all. Instead, they quickly built a temporary fence with wood outside the camp to make a sheep pen, and then used the captured head sheep as bait to drive all the sheep into it.

But in the end, they didn't dare leave the lead sheep in the sheepfold, for fear that they would become determined and escape collectively.

Those are all fat pieces of meat right in your mouth, you can’t fly away!

After that, Ye Shu found an opportunity to talk to Political Commissar Lin about veterinary medicine. Political Commissar Lin immediately pointed out several people and divided them into two groups. One group went to the local mountain villages to learn folk remedies.

Although there is a policy prohibiting the private raising of livestock, almost every household in the mountain villages here raises chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, and the number is not small.

They have their own set of treatment methods, which is also a valuable experience. We should learn from them first, take the essence and discard the dross.

Another group of people went to the town's veterinary station to find someone to learn from.

After that, Ye Shu and her classmates mainly studied every day. She would occasionally go to the next river to swim to relax her tired body.

Surprisingly, the trapped wild goats did not resist or try to escape, but calmly accepted the reality of being bred in captivity and then slaughtered.

Oh, it is also possible that they don’t know that their future fate is to be slaughtered, and they only know that they don’t need to look for food everywhere, as long as they call, the food will be in their mouths.

At the same time, the pressure on the camp has increased a lot.

Because the vegetables we had stockpiled before were not much more, after deducting the food needed in the camp and the mine, the remaining ones were only enough to feed the little rabbits for one winter.

The main thing is that rabbits reproduce really fast!

They give birth to litters after litters, reproduce quickly, and grow quickly!

Therefore, the soldiers had an additional task, which was to go up the mountain to find food for the wild goats.

But this is a winter with an average temperature of minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. There is really little food for wild goats to find, and they can only find some evergreen shrubs.

Political Commissar Lin planned to raise funds to go to the town to buy dry feed.

Ye Shu also provided a method of growing fast-growing vegetables such as greens and cabbages in a self-built greenhouse.

A self-built greenhouse is an igloo.

Inside, layers of cultivation trays are built on wooden racks, and a bonfire is lit on the ground. The temperature should be able to meet the requirements for plant growth.

Even if it doesn't grow, you can still give it a try.

Ye Shu said as he drew a sketch of the construction: "It's roughly like this, but I'm not a professional. You can ask a more professional to design and modify it."

Political Commissar Lin laughed heartily upon seeing this. "Comrade Ye Shu is truly as capable as any man! This is a great idea! I'll have Xiao Zhao take a look and revise it! We'll get to work right away!"

The entire camp was busy and fulfilling. When everyone heard that they were going to build greenhouses to grow vegetables, they took the initiative to build several ice houses!

Anyway, there is plenty of snow and open space in the camp!

What’s more, the igloo doesn’t take up any space and will melt away when the weather gets warmer!
