Chapter 110 Animals' Illness Makes Their Will Stronger
The more severe the illness, the stronger the will.
Su Yunlan quickly walked to the sick sheep, squatted down, and began to examine it carefully.
The lamb was breathing rapidly, with cloudy liquid flowing from its nostrils, its eyes sunken, and it looked listless.
She reached out and touched the lamb's forehead; it was burning hot!
A bad feeling crept into my heart. Could it be a plague?
"Thirteen, go and fetch some clean water." Su Yunlan's voice trembled slightly.
Young Master Xiao dared not delay and rushed off.
Xiao Yuhan also squatted down beside Su Yunlan, his brows furrowed, not saying a word, but silently helping her to part the thick wool on the lamb so that she could see it more clearly.
Uncle Ma was even more furious upon seeing this.
“I knew it! Ever since that woman came, our ranch has never had a moment of peace! Now look what’s happened, even the lambs are sick! It must be the bad luck she brought!” He shouted in a gruff voice, attracting a lot of onlookers.
Elder Sun also walked over with a worried expression, looked at the sickly lamb, and sighed deeply.
"Oh dear, what should we do? Winter is just around the corner. If all the lambs get sick, how will we survive the winter?" The sheep girl hid behind the crowd, secretly watching Su Yunlan.
Zhao Mumin hid in the crowd, a sinister smile playing on his lips.
He was eager for Su Yunlan to fail so that he could take the opportunity to regain her position on the ranch.
Su Yunlan ignored the surrounding chatter, focusing all her attention on the lamb in front of her.
She gently stroked the lamb, trying to calm it down.
Young Master Xiao quickly brought water, and Su Yunlan used a clean cloth to dampen it and gently wiped the lamb's forehead and nostrils.
"Yunlan, how are they?" Xiao Yuhan's voice was low and worried, his gaze never leaving Su Yunlan.
Su Yunlan did not answer. She took a deep breath and touched the lamb's forehead again, feeling its body temperature gradually rising.
She closed her eyes, her mind racing through various symptoms and treatments for different diseases.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide. "I know..." she said softly, her tone filled with certainty.
Su Yunlan's fingertips lightly touched the lamb's dry nose. She felt the lamb's weak breathing, and a familiar feeling welled up in her heart.
She quickly got up, took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom, poured out a few black pills, crushed them into powder, poured in water, and stirred it well.
"Thirteen, help me administer this medicine to the sick sheep." Her voice was soft, but it carried an undeniable firmness.
Young Master Xiao took the medicine bowl, carefully helped the lamb up, and slowly poured the medicine into its mouth.
The surrounding herders held their breath, their eyes fixed on the sick sheep, afraid of missing any detail.
Although Uncle Ma was unwilling, he restrained himself and wanted to see what tricks Su Yunlan could come up with.
Zhao Mumin watched coldly from the sidelines.
As the medicine entered its throat, the lamb's breathing gradually calmed down, and a glimmer of light returned to its eyes.
Su Yunlan then took out several silver needles and precisely inserted them into several acupoints on the lamb.
Soon, the lamb's body stopped trembling, and its feverish forehead gradually cooled down.
Su Yunlan then checked the other sick lambs one by one and treated them in the same way.
Before long, the bleating of sheep in the sheepfold gradually returned to normal.
The herders stared in astonishment at the scene before them; they had never witnessed such miraculous medical skills.
The sheep girl could no longer contain her excitement. She squeezed through the crowd and exclaimed, "I knew it! Sister Su could definitely save the lamb! She's a miracle doctor!"
The herdsmen who had initially been skeptical of Su Yunlan now looked at her with admiration.
They looked at the lambs that had been sickly but were now lively and energetic, and genuine smiles appeared on their faces.
Uncle Ma scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "It seems I misjudged her. Madam Su is indeed capable!"
As night fell, the moonlight poured down like water, draping the earth in a thin silver veil.
Su Yunlan and Xiao Yuhan sat side by side outside the tent, surrounded by a quiet pasture and the occasional chirping of insects.
The air was filled with the fresh scent of grass, carrying a hint of earthy fragrance.
She looked up at the bright moon, her heart filled with peace and tranquility.
Xiao Yuhan turned to the side, gazing at her tenderly, his eyes deep and full of love.
“You were great today.” His voice was deep and magnetic.
Su Yunlan's lips curled slightly upward. She turned her head and looked at Xiao Yuhan.
Xiao Yuhan slowly reached out and gently embraced Su Yunlan. His breath brushed against Su Yunlan's ear, and the warm breath made her cheeks flush slightly.
Su Yunlan felt the warmth emanating from Xiao Yuhan, and her heart was filled with sweetness and happiness.
“Yunlan,” Xiao Yuhan’s voice was slightly hoarse, “I…” Before he could finish speaking, his lips covered hers, a mixture of domineering and tenderness.
Zhao Mumin's sarcastic voice rang out again, buzzing like a fly, which was disgusting.
"Hmph, don't be too happy! This is just a temporary solution; those lambs will get sick again in a few days!" He glanced at Su Yunlan, his eyes flashing with malice, the flames of jealousy almost consuming him.
Su Yunlan glanced at him coldly, a burning fighting spirit igniting in her heart. She was determined to find evidence and completely shatter Zhao Mumin's rumors.
Just then, the sound of rapid hoofbeats came from afar, followed by the excited voice of Young Master Xiao Thirteen breaking the tranquility of the pasture.
"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! Good news! Good news!" He dismounted and trotted to Su Yunlan, his face flushed with excitement. "Other ranches have also cured their sick sheep using your method! They all praise your medical skills!" Upon hearing this news, the herders began to discuss among themselves, and their gazes toward Su Yunlan subtly changed.
Those who initially had doubts about her began to re-evaluate this young woman.
Even Uncle Ma, who had always opposed Su Yunlan, was no longer as forceful as before. He stroked his beard.
Su Yunlan felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders. However, just when she thought everything was going in a positive direction, a new problem arose in front of her.
Xiao Yuhan walked to her side with a solemn expression and handed her a note.
"Yunlan, look..." Su Yunlan took the note, which read: "The price of superior livestock breeds has doubled."
She frowned and felt an ominous premonition in her heart.
"Who did this?" Su Yunlan's voice was low and cold, and his fingers holding the note turned slightly white.
Xiao Yuhan shook his head. "It's not clear yet, but what's certain is that someone is deliberately obstructing our improvement plan." Su Yunlan took a deep breath, trying to remain calm.
She knew that the battle had just begun.
As evening fell, the fiery sunset painted half the sky red, bathing the pasture in a golden glow.
Su Yunlan stood by the sheepfold, looking at the lively lambs, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
The bleating of lambs rose and fell, like a joyful pastoral song echoing across the vast grassland.
However, this harmonious scene was shattered by a sudden piece of news.
A herdsman rushed over, panting, and said, "Lady Su...something terrible has happened...the cattle dealers...they..."
"What happened to them?" Su Yunlan's heart sank suddenly, and a bad premonition surged into her heart.
