Breeding boars never grow old
There is a green mountain by the Qingshui
River. The green mountain is not high. There is a very large animal breeding
farm in the valley.
The owner of that breeding farm is also an
old man, and he calls himself "Shan Weng".
After the mountain man heard the story of
Dunjiashu adopting a black-necked crane, he decided to visit Dunjiashu.
The mountain man asked Dun Jiashu:
"How can you save this injured black-necked crane?"
Dunjiashu said: "I have a Shuiyun
Village where I plant a lot of flowers, vegetables, and fruit trees, and I also
raise some small animals. This black-necked crane was hit by a bow and arrow,
and its wings have been broken, so I put her Adopted in Shuiyun Village, the
black-necked crane has now recovered, but she can no longer fly in the sky. The
black-necked crane hopes that I have the opportunity to see the outside world
and not stay at home all the time. The black-necked crane told me , there is a
feedlot here with a lot of livestock.”
The old man said: "It's so good, she
actually knows that there is an animal farm here."
The mountain man suddenly asked Dun Jiashu
out of curiosity: "Can your black-necked crane speak human language?"
Dunjiashu smiled: "This black-necked
crane, like all animals, cannot speak human language. But animals have their
own language, including body language. My biggest hobby in this life is to
learn the language of animals. I can almost communicate with them. All animals
communicate verbally, and I also studied animal psychology and
physiology."
The mountain man was shocked: "That's
good. I raise a lot of livestock in my farm, but I only know how to feed them
often, but I don't know what they usually talk about? Do they also talk
nonsense?" ?”
Dunjiashu stroked his long white beard and
said with a smile: "It's natural. Animals have sex and know how to love
and hate. In terms of love and hate, animal nature is the same as human nature.
Love what you love and hate what you hate."
The old man was overjoyed: "Great, I
want to invite you to the animal farm. I can accompany you to visit the
animals. Of course I want to know what the animals usually say."
Shan Weng told Dun Jiashu that there were
many breeder boars in the pig shed. Breeder boars were the core of the pig
farm, not only related to the quality of the pig herd, but also related to the
pregnancy rate of the sows, which had a great influence on the entire farm.
Economic benefits have a significant impact. In order to ensure the genes of
the next generation, the body structure of breeding boars is very strict. The
boar should have a well-proportioned body, not a fat pig, look lean, and be
healthy. The boar's parents should have no genetic history, should be
strong-looking, and have no serious defects. Then the sexual performance of the
boar also needs to be very good, because sows generally only give birth to two
babies a year, so the more the better. At this time, it’s time to look at the
boar and examine its sexual ability from the perspective of its genitals. This
is followed by production performance. Because the piglets produced may also be
used as breeding boars for the next generation, it is necessary to check
whether the recovery of the breeding boars is fast, otherwise they will be
useless once and they will be no different from ordinary boars.
Shan Weng proudly told Dunjiashu: "Not
long ago, I purchased two breeding boars, which are top-notch breeds. I named
them, one is Debai and the other is Delin."
When Shan Weng boasted to Dunjiashu about
the boars he raised, he said that the overall structure of the two boars was
well-proportioned, and the head and neck, forequarters, middle and hindquarters
were naturally and well integrated, and they looked very solid to the eye. The
boar Delin has a large and wide head, a short and thick neck, strong limbs, a
correct posture, thick and symmetrical hoofs and no lame hoofs. Shan Weng often
boasts to people that the weight of his breeding boar Debai can weigh any sow,
but it will not crush the sow to death.
Dun Jiashu asked: "What should I do if
the boar gets old?"
The old man laughed when he heard this:
"Breeding boars will never grow old. As long as they are breeding boars,
they will be slaughtered immediately if they cannot mate hard."
After the mountain man said goodbye, the
kind-hearted Dunjiashu became sad and sang the song "Good Nature":
Saints
always think themselves noble,
Saints
will always argue about the good and evil of human nature.
There
is endless debate about the goodness and evil of nature.
The
saint drank wine and sang in antiphony, eating large pieces of meat,
But
he never kills pigs for raising pigs,
There
is a reasonable and charitable way to put it.
Tea
without salt is not drinkable.
A
horse without a bit has a hard mouth;
Saints
without good nature cannot be trusted.
Taking the legendary wise Agu Demba as the protagonist, I started to create the Chinese-English version of "Snow Land Fable" using the traditional fable creation method that combines poetry and prose. Writing fables makes me feel like a child again. Studying snowy culture is my prescription to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
