The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 1144

[Chapter 1144 Swine Fever]

The butler roughly told Lin Tian what happened in the manor. The butler spoke very quickly, so Lin Tian could tell from the butler’s expression when he spoke how big a deal this matter was in the butler’s eyes.

“Butler, when those farmers came to see you, did they tell you if there was anything abnormal about the dead pigs?”

Lin Tian asked the butler.

“Yes, when those farmers came to tell me, they did mention some abnormal symptoms of the pigs. They seemed to say that these pigs were all red, and some of the dead pigs had blood in their mouths. As for the rest, I can’t remember it clearly after such a long time.” The

butler lowered his head and looked thoughtful. He thought for a while and then spoke to Lin Tian.

After Lin Tian heard what the butler said, his heart suddenly tightened. If the current situation was as the butler said, it could only be swine fever, so Lin Tian wanted to go over and confirm it.

“No, I hope it’s not this disease. I’ll go check the situation now.”

Lin Tian said to the housekeeper and Chen Huifang and wanted to return to the carriage. He wanted money to go to the fiefdom to check the current situation that the farmers said.

“Master, it’s getting dark now, and the farmers should rest. I’m afraid you won’t be able to see them because it’s dark, so you’d better not go now. Wait until tomorrow when it’s light.”

The housekeeper saw that Lin Tian was so anxious, and knew that this situation made Lin Tian very surprised, but he looked at the sky and said to Lin Tian.

After hearing what the housekeeper said, Lin Tian lowered his head and thought for a while. As the housekeeper said, if Lin Tian went there now, he might not see those sick pigs, so Lin Tian didn’t jump off the carriage and walked towards the Prime Minister’s Mansion with a worried look on his face. Although

Chen Huifang is from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, she and her grandfather Chen Hao have not studied medicine that can treat pigs with such symptoms, not to mention that they have never been in contact with pigs, so when they heard about this situation, they didn’t think about what disease the pigs had.

But Chen Huifang saw Lin Tian’s worried look, so she quickly followed Lin Tian into the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

After returning to the Prime Minister’s Mansion, Lin Tian was so worried that he couldn’t sit down, and could only walk around Wuzhong anxiously. Chen Huifang saw Lin Tian walking around in the house anxiously, and she had no choice but to watch. After

a while, Chen Huifang made some food and sent it to Lin Tian. Lin Tian ate a little bit and lost his appetite.

Even when he lay in bed at night, Lian Tian was so anxious that he couldn’t sleep. He could only toss and turn in bed and think about this matter carefully.

In Lin Tian’s previous life memory, swine fever was a major killer of pigs. Even with the advanced means of the previous life, swine fever could not be completely solved. It could only be prevented by vaccines, not to mention the cure.

Early in the morning of the next day, Lin Tian got up. After eating a little, Lin Tian asked the guards Ying and Lie to take him to his fiefdom.

Lin Tian came to Lin Hu’s house first, because when Lin Tian first proposed the idea of raising pigs, he said that Lin Hu was the most active, so Lin Tian went to his house to check the situation.

“Young Master, you are finally here. We were so anxious.”

After seeing Lin Tian, Lin Hu hurried to Lin Tian and said to Lin Tian.

“I have heard about what happened here. Now the situation is urgent. Let’s talk while walking.”

Lin Tian did not say politely to Lin Hu, and still spoke directly to Lin Hu. At the same time, Lin Tian wanted to go to the backyard of Lin Hu’s house to check the situation of the pigs.

“Okay, young master, please.”

After hearing what Lin Tian said, Lin Hu said to Lin Tian, and at the same time led Lin Tian in front and walked towards the pigpen in the backyard.

“Tell me when this happened? And what caused it?”

Lin Tian asked Lin Hu.

“I remember that this situation happened about a month and a half ago, which was about half a month after the young master left.

At the beginning, it was not so serious. I thought it was just an ordinary fever, so I asked the old veterinarian in the village to help prescribe two ointments.

But who knew that these pigs did not get better, and they had fevers one after another, and even in the end they were all red all over. Some dead pigs were all bloody in the end.

I saw that things were not good, so I hurried to the Prime Minister’s Mansion to find you, but what I didn’t expect was that you were not in the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

I only found the housekeeper of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, and I told him about this. He also said that you didn’t come back, so he asked me to go home and wait.

The housekeeper also sent people over once or twice, but those who were sent by the housekeeper had no way to deal with this scene.

In the end, we were all helpless and could only watch. Even if we were anxious, it was useless. Even the pigs of many farmers in the village had this situation one after another, and they all died one after another.”

Lin Hu said to Lin Tian. He roughly told the previous situation again, but he heard that Lin Tian was getting more and more anxious.

At this time, they also came to the backyard of Lin Tian’s house. At this time, there were only three or four pigs in the pigsty in the backyard of Lin Hu’s house.

Two months ago, when Lin Tian left here, he clearly remembered those piglets and even more big pigs, but now there are only three or four.

In the past two months, Lin Tian didn’t know how large the scale of Lin Hu’s pig farming had expanded.

When Lin Tian saw these pig pens, he realized that the scale had been expanded a lot during this period, so when he saw Lin Hu’s current appearance, he seemed very anxious about this situation.

Lin Tian chose a pig pen, jumped in, and came to a pig.

At this time, the pig was lying on the ground. It did not react when it saw Lin Tian approaching, but just lay there.

First, Lin Tian touched the pig’s head, then checked the pig’s red skin, and finally even opened the pig’s mouth. The pig was covered with blood.

During the time when Lin Tian was checking the pig, the pig had coughed seven or eight times in a row. Along with the coughing, blood flowed from the pig’s mouth from time to time.

When Lin Tian saw this scene, he seemed to confirm this symptom in his heart. His previous guess was not wrong. This was indeed swine fever.
