Chapter 449: Castrated Beast
"When I was young, I wanted to learn veterinary medicine. Unlike today, there were no specialized schools, so you learned by following a master..."
Old Mu said dispassionately as he pulled out his tools one by one.
"The first skill my master taught me was drugging. You must get the dosage right, not too little and not too much. The dosage needed for animals of different sizes shouldn’t be confused, or they’ll be poisoned to death outright. Drugging people is the first time for me. Over the past few days, I’ve tested it on myself repeatedly to master the dosage..."
"Is Xiaofeng okay? My son is okay, right? Uncle Mu, I’m begging you, spare the child..." Zhou Guicheng’s wife stammered in panic, tears streaming down her face.
"Don’t worry, he’s just asleep. The dose in the food is not enough to kill him."
It turned out that Old Mu not only drugged the wine but also the food, especially the chicken dish, which had the most.
Even so, the amount wasn’t enough to kill a child with poisoning.
Hearing Old Mu say this, everyone in the Zhou family breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, Old Mu continued: "After a few years with the master, the second skill was castrating livestock. If pigs aren’t castrated, the meat smells; if mules or horses aren’t castrated, they become temperamental... Animals with that thing aren’t necessarily better off, and neither are people. When castrating, you have to move quickly, make the wound small, and use as few cuts as possible..."
As Old Mu spoke, he pulled out tools from the cloth roll, tools for castrating pigs, donkeys, and such.
"Old Mu, what are you doing?" Zhou Maoshu asked with a hint of fear.
"Don’t worry, I won’t touch you."
