Lisko’s American Life

The surface of the lake became calmer in the morning, Lisko watched the ripples on the mirror-like surface of the lake, and his heart became more peaceful.

After a whole morning of fishing, he has harvested a lot. There are already a few large fish floating in the bucket. Because of the small space, the fish are very crowded and look full.

Lisko is very clear that his fishing skills are not so superb, and his level is only amateur among amateurs. He is already satisfied with this harvest.

This is because the fish in the small lake is abundant, there are no natural enemies, and there are not many people who come here to fish. In addition, the water resources are abundant, so the fish began to develop unscrupulously.

In a good mood, he came directly to stew fish soup at noon, and he cooked it himself. If he cooks by himself every day, it may be a burdensome job. It is still very comfortable to cook his favorite food once in a while.

He was planning to take a nap in the afternoon, but was woken up by David's loud shouts, and Payne also knocked on his door at the right time.

"Sir. David wants to see you for something. It seems that something happened in the ranch."

"pasture?"

As he changed his pajamas, he was puzzled. Generally, David can make up his mind about the ranch, and there is no need to ask himself for instructions. This is the authority he gave to the other party.

Thinking about it, it should be a big deal, so his movements also became quicker.

Walking downstairs, David was dressed in a cowboy outfit and a brown cowboy hat, waiting. It could be seen that he was very anxious and kept wandering in place.

"What's wrong?"

Lisko frowned and asked.

"Sir, there is something wrong with our ranch. There may be an infectious disease. I have sent someone to the veterinarian."

David's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. This is no small matter. For the ranch, this is the most serious accident. If it is confirmed, the livestock in the entire ranch may be burned intensively to prevent the possibility of infection. With the current size of the ranch, that would be a loss of nearly several million dollars.

That's why he was very anxious.

Lisko, who grew up on a ranch, also understood the urgency of the matter, so when he walked to the living room, he didn't stop at all, and picked up the windbreaker next to him to put on himself, motioning for David to follow.

On the way, David also explained the ins and outs of this incident to him clearly.

In the morning, the cowboys went to their stables as usual, ready to ride their horses to graze. The pasture in the pasture has already begun to emerge. It is when it is tender, and the cows like this kind of food the most. Hammer found a horse that was a little depressed. At first, he thought it was a gastrointestinal problem, so he didn't ride this horse, but chose the spare horse next to him.

After returning from grazing, the horse had already fallen to the ground, roaring non-stop, and foaming from its mouth. At this time, everyone realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately reported it to David.

Lisko frowned, this is not easy to deal with, if it is confirmed that it is an infectious disease, the loss is a small matter, and the development of the ranch will definitely fail.

This situation may even affect the entire state of Colorado. Most of the livestock produced in this state capital will be destroyed humanely to completely eliminate the possibility of infection.

Many ranches will go bankrupt because of this, and ranches are the most important economic pillar in Colorado. The blow to the economic situation in this area is no less than another financial turmoil.

Along the way, he kept his face tense, thinking about various consequences and how to deal with it.

When they arrived at the barn, the cowboys stood far away from the fence. Because they were not sure if it was an infectious disease, they had to take sufficient protective measures for people. Many large-scale viruses were also transmitted from livestock to humans. on the body.

"coming."

Jimmy was driving the pickup truck and stopped nearby with a sudden brake. A familiar figure got out of the car. It was the new veterinarian Gary Kubiak that he saw at Rooster's house last time.

Lisko greeted him with a heavy face.

"Gary is sorry to trouble you, please be safe."

It is useless to say anything at this time. The most important thing is to determine the cause and cause of the disease. If it is not an infectious disease, then everyone will be happy. If it is an infectious disease, Lisko has a lot of work to do. First, report it to the state government and the livestock association. , Waiting for the processing of the government department, the biggest result of the processing can only be the complete destruction of all livestock.

Gary nodded, opened the medical kit he carried with him, and took out a protective suit from inside. The face was completely isolated, and only a transparent window could see the outside.

Seeing Gary walk into the stable, everyone's heart was tugged. This was a big event for the entire ranch. What happened next depended on Gary's diagnosis.

Because the horse that was upside down inside was the horse that Hammer often rode, so he stood at the closest distance, and kept calling the name of the horse in a low voice, thinking that this would make the other party more comfortable.

For cowboys, horses are the closest companions. In addition, Americans often regard domestic animals as part of the family. Everyone's eyes can't help but feel a little moved.

Gary squatted down, opened the horse's mouth with his gloved hand, carefully looked at the situation inside, and put his hand on the horse's body, feeling its breath.

At this time, the horse was no longer able to open its mouth and neigh, and its body was rising and falling, looking extremely weak.

Lisko put a mask on his face and held his chin.

Hammer has already started to cross on his chest, praying that God can give the partner inside a little strength so that it can persist until the end of the inspection.

Gary moved more and more, because his back was facing, so everyone couldn't see his expression clearly, and didn't know whether the situation was good or bad.

He took out a cotton swab from the medical box, carefully wiped the white foam from the corner of the horse's mouth, put it into a test tube, and added some reagents with unclear names.

After doing this, I walked out of it step by step.

However, the subconscious actions of the cowboys were all taking a step back. Even Lisko was not surprised. After all, he had personally contacted the source of the disease just now, and he still needed to be cautious before getting a definite answer.

Gary looked at everyone, and with some helplessness, he took off his protective clothing clumsily, and then took a big mouthful of air.

"How about it?"

A few tens of meters away, Lisko's voice also involuntarily increased the volume, shouting with an expectant look on his face.

"Very bad, it's anthrax bacillus, which is contagious to a certain extent, so all livestock on the ranch need to be inspected to find out the infected ones as soon as possible, and then deal with them centrally to avoid further expansion."
