"Why are you back so early this time?"
Xi Xi ran downstairs happily. She saw her grandmother standing downstairs, talking to her grandfather and father. Murphy was also standing beside her. Tong Tong, who was in her arms, also saw her father. She was smiling happily with her little dimples on her face. She reached out her two little hands and cried, "Ah, ah!" She wanted her father to hug her.
It was not unreasonable for Zhou Mengyu to feel that it was strange. It was only three in the afternoon, and Mo Henian and the others were already back. Although Zhou Mengyu was very happy to see them back safe and sound, according to their past experience of hunting, they usually came back when it was close to night. They were indeed early today!
"We saved this deer from two wolves in the morning." Yang Yi pointed at the deer tied up in the back of the pickup truck and explained, "Its leg was injured, so we came back first to take it to the vet in town."
The pickup truck belonged to Bariya, and they came back to inform their family so that they would not worry.
Deer?
Xi Xi's eyes lit up. She jumped hard at the door on her father's side and shouted, "Papa, I want to see the deer, I want to see the deer!"
The pickup truck was huge. Yang Yi's Tyrant used to be smaller than it. Xi Xi tried to jump, but she could not reach her father's height.
Yang Yi withdrew his hand from Tong Tong and smiled as he opened the back door and asked, "Do you want to go with us? We are going to the vet to treat the deer. "
It was not convenient to bring Xi Xi along when they went hunting in the forest. However, the environment was different now. In a safe environment, Yang Yi was happy to let Xi Xi see some new things.
"I want to go! Hehe! " Xi Xi climbed up the tall pickup truck happily. The advantage of her long legs was reflected at this time. She climbed up without much effort.
Xi Xi climbed into the back seat and looked in the direction her father pointed. Finally, she saw the deer her father was talking about through the back window.
It was a very petite deer, about the same size as the sheep in Grandpa Ford's sheep pen. It had dark brown skin and beautiful rows of white dots on it.
The most pitiful thing was its pair of panicked and helpless eyes. Its eyes were big and pure black, but its eyelids were drooping, making it look a little too weak.
"PaPa, Xiaolu is so cute. Why, why did you tie it up?" Xi Xi defended Xiaolu.
"Because if we don't tie it up, it will jump out of the car, which is more dangerous." Yang Yi explained, "Its leg is injured. Look at its right hind leg. Dad and Grandpa are taking it to the vet for treatment."
Hearing that, Xixi turned to look at him again.
…
Half an hour later, at the veterinary clinic in town, an old man named Lister, whom Zhang Heng had met at the shooting range last time, called out to Yang Yi and Mo Henian to move the deer from the car onto a canvas.
"Ahhh!" After the rope was untied, the little deer began to struggle again, and even let out a miserable cry. Although it was exhausted, the little guy's desire to live was really admirable!
Xi Xi was on the side, holding her father's hand. She was so nervous that her big eyes were full of worry.
"It's not a big deal. The wound is in the muscle, and it didn't bite the bone. Clean it up and bandage it. It will get better after a while." Fortunately, Lister was experienced and quickly calmed the deer down. He held Xiaolu's head and checked its wound.
Xi Xi, who was relieved, finally had time to ask her father about the question in her heart. "PaPa, why was Xiaolu injured?"
In fact, Yang Yi had asked this question before, but Xi Xi didn't pay attention. Yang Yi patiently explained to her again, but this time, Yang Yi didn't talk about coyotes. He described the dangerous situation with a concept that Xi Xi was more familiar with: "big bad wolf".
"Ah? Big bad wolf? Then, then what should we do? The big bad wolf wants to eat Xiaolu. It's so bad! "Xi Xi said nervously.
"So, Dad defeated the big bad wolf!" Yang Yi gestured and laughed, "Dad shot two arrows, and the two big bad wolves fell down, just in time to save Xiaolu."
"PaPa is so powerful!" Xi Xi looked at her father with admiration, her two big eyes seemed to have little stars twinkling.
"Sit down, sit down. It's just a basic operation, haha!" Yang Yi laughed. The satisfaction at this moment was even stronger than when he was being admired by his companions when he shot the escaping coyotes!
"PaPa, then, then what about Xiaolu's PaPa and Mom?" After looking at Xiaolu for a while, Xi Xi suddenly thought of a problem and said worriedly, "Its PaPa and Mom must be very worried because it was bullied by the big bad wolf!"
Yang Yi didn't think that his daughter could think of such a problem, and even care about Xiaolu's parents!
"Its mother ran away with the other two fawns, and Dad can't find them. Maybe they thought that Xiaolu had been eaten by the big bad wolf." Yang Yi explained.
"Ah?" Xi Xi looked at her father in surprise.
"Yes, it doesn't have parents now." Yang Yi nodded.
Xi Xi felt sad for Xiaolu, and the little girl said sadly, "Then, then, what about Xiaolu?"
Xi Xi liked this beautiful deer very much. When it was being treated, Xi Xi had been standing next to it, nervously watching Grandpa Lister bandage the deer.
"When it is cured, send it to Grandpa Doug, the grandpa who we returned the sports car to last time. His family has some deer, so he can help take care of it." Yang Yi said.
However, Xixi was not happy. After listening to her father's words, she pouted her little mouth unhappily. However, she hesitated and didn't know how to say it.
"What's wrong?" Yang Yi saw his daughter's appearance and guessed her thoughts. He smiled and said, "Don't tell me you want to raise Xiaolu?"
Xi Xi pursed her lips, twisted her little butt, and stomped her little feet on the ground, and said with grievance, "I thought, I thought Daddy, Xiaolu was going to give me a birthday present!"
Xi Xi's birthday was two days later.
Yang Yi looked at his daughter's appearance and his heart softened. He said, "It's not that I can't leave it to you, but it's not like Xiao Guai, Baozi, and Heihei, who can be raised at home. It's more like Xiao Bai, who lives outside … But that's not a problem, right? Daddy can build a deer pen for it with Grandpa. "
Yang Yi was a little embarrassed at first, but seeing that Xi Xi was a little happy, his tone changed and became more positive.
Mo Henian nodded his head cooperatively and said, "Lay down some comfortable hay. Oh, right, Lister, do you know how to raise this deer? What to eat? Horse milk? Milk? "
"This deer should be less than a month old, about 20 days old. You can feed it with goat milk. After a week or so, take some fish liver oil and vitamins. Come to me later, I'll prescribe you medicine." Lister pushed up his glasses and said, "I can write you a detailed feeding method."
"Can we use deer milk? Doug's family should have deer milk. "Yang Yi said.
"Of course, that would be better. Deer milk has the antibodies it needs." Lister smiled and said, "Don't worry, this deer is not small, but it's a little undernourished. As long as you take good care of it, it won't be difficult for it to survive."
"Did you hear that? We can feed the deer at home! "Yang Yi turned around and smiled at Xi Xi.
"Yay!" Xi Xi jumped up happily and high-fived her father. She even ran over and hugged Grandpa's neck.
After Lister finished bandaging, Xi Xi could finally have her first intimate contact with the deer under her father's protection.
"Be good, I'll protect you!" The little girl squatted in front of the deer and reached out to pat its head. She said softly, "I'll call you Huahua, okay? You're like a flower, so pretty! "
Perhaps the deer was a little tired, or perhaps it could feel the kindness of these people in front of it. It didn't struggle like it did at the beginning, but instead obediently licked Xi Xi's palm.
Looking at its little black nose, sharp little face, and pitiful big eyes, how could Xi Xi not like it?
