Chapter 3911: Assisting a Cow with Childbirth

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

When they saw someone coming in with a camera and microphone, the villagers guessed they must be from the TV station.

Their faces showed bewildered expressions, except for one man wearing glasses, who stood nervously in place.

Lin Yi’s gaze fell on the cow in the barn.

A rope was tied around its head, fixing it to the iron railings, its breathing was rapid. Even though it’s an animal, you could still feel its pain.

Xu Qingqing covered her mouth and nose; the unpleasant smell and the excrement on the ground made her frown.

If it weren’t to please Lin Yi, she probably would never come to a place like this in her entire life.

"Hello, we are journalists from the TV station, may I ask if Mao Hai Long is here?" Lin Yi asked directly upon entering.

Seeing the journalist was here to interview Mao Hai Long, everyone’s eyes fell on the man with glasses, and Lin Yi also walked over to him.

The man wasn’t very old, around thirty-five or thirty-six, but with his lack of grooming plus the sun and wind, he appeared somewhat aged, with a dark complexion and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

"Hello, you must be Mao Hai Long."

"That’s me, what do you want with me?"

Mao Hai Long’s eyes carried a guarded look, coldly looking at Lin Yi and others.

"A few days ago, you had a conflict with Pan Yongbing from Siling Village, we’d like to interview you about it."

"What’s there to interview about, it was just an accident, you can’t blame me for that," Mao Hai Long said nonchalantly.

"But you illegally used Chloroprostaglandin, which is a drug that the country has explicitly banned, yet you used six doses at once. This is the real reason the expecting cow died, so the root of the problem still lies with you."

"Ah? Is this what you are talking about?"

Before Mao Hai Long could speak, the villager beside him jumped in and walked over to the water trough to grab a box of drugs, handing it to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi nodded, "Right, this medicine has been explicitly banned by the country. It has strong side effects, and if the dose exceeds the standard, it can easily cause the cow to have a uterine prolapse."

"What’s the normal dosage supposed to be?"

"If controlled within two doses, the issue is not too big."

"But he prescribed me four doses, and it was over 150 bucks each."

"So, his treatment method is problematic. If you let him help the cow give birth again, it won’t just be about birthing issues, you might end up with nothing."

Lin Yi’s words turned all the villagers in the yard against Mao Hai Long, their eyes filled with hostility.

If this had been said by someone else, it might not have had such a big effect.

But Lin Yi is a journalist, a symbol of justice in the villagers’ eyes, and what they say is never wrong.

Mao Hai Long’s expression changed, and anger was visible in his eyes.

He had already received a call from the shop assistant half an hour ago, saying someone was looking for him.

At that time, he also guessed it was a journalist from the TV station.

The original plan was to deal with Old Zhang’s cow and then leave for a few days, to avoid wasting words with them. Unexpectedly, they found him so quickly.

"He’s just a journalist, what could he possibly know."

Mao Hai Long pointed at the cow’s owner and said, "Zhang Xuekun, I’m telling you, your cow’s situation is very serious. Two doses would do nothing at all, four doses were already conservative. If you don’t want to save your cow, I can’t be bothered with you."

Zhang Xuekun stood there helplessly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He didn’t know what to do now, without assisting the birth, the cow was also at risk.

But the journalist also said that the drugs Mao Hai Long used were problematic, and the method had issues too, which could easily kill the cow.

What should be done now?

Mao Hai Long lit a cigarette and sat down smugly, as if he had everyone in his grip.

Nobody but me can solve this today, even if they find another vet, there won’t be enough time. Let’s see what they’ll do.

The atmosphere around Lin Yi was tense as well.

Mao Hai Long’s skills are definitely questionable, with him messing around like this, the survival chances aren’t high either.

But the problem is, if I block this task without providing a reasonable solution, I seem to be just talking without any burden.

"Is there a glove? Find me one."

"Huh?"

Lin Yi’s question dumbfounded the others.

"What are you going to do?" Zhou Li asked.

"Help the cow give birth, we can’t waste any more time." Lin Yi looked at Zhang Xuekun, "Quick, get me a glove."

"The gloves are here."

Zhang Xuekun was the first to react, handing a pair of red gloves to Lin Yi.

"Lin Yi, are you sure? This isn’t a joke."

"It’s not a big problem, leave it to me."

Lin Yi rolled up his sleeves, then put on the gloves, and reached into the cow’s behind, feeling around for quite a while.

"Quick! Find a rope!"

At this point, Lin Yi’s command was like an imperial decree, and upon receiving the order, Zhang Xuekun hurriedly brought a rope.

Just at this moment, the calf’s head popped out, and the crowd was both surprised and delighted, as if they had seen light in the darkness.

Soon, the front hooves of the calf appeared.

"Quick, give me the rope, and find a blanket to spread underneath," Lin Yi shouted, "Get the birth membrane off its head."

"The rope is here."

Everyone got busy, someone held the rope, others went looking for a blanket, while Zhang Xuekun’s wife manually pulled the birth membrane off the calf, a clear division of labor.

Zhou Li and others standing by were all bewildered.

"Sister Li, look at Lin Yi, he doesn’t look like he’s just messing around, he’s really doing something," Ma Jun said quietly.

"I’m puzzled too. He’s actually able to do this, we’ve all underestimated him."

Sitting on the side, Mao Hai Long was equally shocked, mouth agape.

A journalist, actually assisting in a cow’s birth.

What ancient curiosity is this? Is it too abstract?

Amidst everyone’s surprise, Lin Yi’s side was still busy working.

Lin Yi skillfully tied the rope around the calf’s front hoof, "Come on! Everyone pull together, but don’t pull hard, listen to my command, with some rhythm."

Villagers stepped forward one by one, helping Lin Yi with the birth.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi gave Zhou Li a look, signaling her to come over and help.

Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, not fully comprehending but since Lin Yi asked her to do it, she still complied.

And Li Wei was the first to understand Lin Yi’s intention.

In reality, with so many people helping with the birth, there was no need for them to help.

But Lin Yi did this to create a scene of unity, everyone working together to save the cow in difficult labor. Once such a scene gets broadcasted, it will surely resonate with the audience, guaranteeing ratings.

Thinking of this, Li Wei nudged Xu Qingqing.

"Hurry up and go help!"

"Huh?"
