Emerald River, Shili Village, a gathering place of the Dong people.

This place is an obvious karst landform, looking up from a high altitude, it looks like an elegant and irregular circle, arranged up and down, layer by layer.

The most intuitive manifestation of the village gathering place culture of the Dong nationality is the houses in the villages.

The dry column type stilt building built by fir wood is lined up one after another, scattered, with the color of this landscape, it is very rich in national color.

The New Year has passed, it is already the tenth day of the first month, and the New Year's flavor in the village is much lighter, but there is still a lingering charm.

Before the day of spring ploughing, the villagers of Shili Village enjoyed the afterglow of the New Year's flavor, either the three or five neighbors gathered together to chat and play cards, or which family had a wine banquet to join in the fun.

The small days in the mountain village are plain and leisurely, but they are comfortable.

The only thing that made the people in the village a little more chattering.

"Recently, the weather is very abnormal, and the fog at the end of the year is also said to have passed, but it has been such a thick fog for more than ten days in a row, and I have never encountered this weather in the mountains for so long. ”

In the early morning, an elderly man in the village looked at the thick fog outside his house and chatted with his neighbors.

"No, if the sun is in the afternoon, it will be dusk again. It's weird if it's cloudy and foggy all day. ”

A neighbor's aunt followed with a broken thought.

"Heh, it's strange that the fog has risen this year, and the beasts in the village don't seem to be honest recently, and on three cold days, snakes and rats have run into the house, I haven't seen them before, these beasts are going to spend the winter. ”

Another foreigner talked about what he had been muttering lately.

"It seems that this year is too early to return to spring!"

“................”

In the chat of every household in the village, they have to mention this matter twice.

In the early morning, there is still white smoke and fog, and the sun on the east mountain has become an ornament on these days, only reflecting the bright yellow halo.

Next to Shili Village, there is a low mountain three or four hundred meters high, called Shili Mountain, which is where the villagers usually collect firewood and graze.

After the New Year's pass, the winter cold gradually faded, and the heavy snow that fell before the year almost melted by this time, revealing the green grass buds and revealing the fragrance.

There are only speckled snow traces left in the shade of the mountains, and I want to stay for a while.

This year, it seems that spring is too early, and the green grass buds in the mountains have just emerged, and they have been discovered by the herdsmen in the village, and they have driven their cattle and sheep to the mountain to find food.

Somewhere in the mountains, a nine-year-old Dong shepherd boy rode a green ox and walked slowly through the mountains.

The shepherd boy held a leaf in his hand, which he put to his lips, and blew a crisp music, smooth but not obscure, and obviously skilled.

This is Ah Jun's favorite thing to do when he is bored with cattle on weekdays, to pass the time.

Ah Jun was blowing the leaves, while the green cow under his crotch was pacing slowly, the cow's mouth looking for the grass sprouts emerging from the soil, and gnawing on it.

In this way, the green ox carried the shepherd boy Ah Jun, and gradually followed the mountain path and gradually went up the mountain.

As I walked, a small vermilion flower bloomed quietly under a pine tree surrounded by a man somewhere on the mountainside.

The florets were only a foot tall and were all vermilion, hidden in the tips of grass and specks of snow that sprouted around them.

The green oxen searched for tender grass from the mountain path, ate as they walked, and after a while they came to the pine tree.

As soon as the long cow's tongue rolled, the small vermilion flower hidden in the grass was rolled into the mouth of the green cow, and with a few chews of the cow's mouth, the grunt entered its stomach.

On the back of the cow, the shepherd boy Ah Jun was playing the leaf flute, and he was having a good time, but he didn't find anything.

The green cow continued to walk up the mountain, looking for tender grass to eat, and walked for about a minute.

"Eyes!"

The green cow let out an eye cry in his throat, and then suddenly went crazy, raised his head, and kicked his hooves wildly.

An exclamation.

The shepherd boy Ah Jun didn't grasp the reins because he was blowing leaves, and one of them was thrown off the back of the cow.

"Big Niu, what's wrong with you?"

Ah Jun stood up from the wet grass and looked at the green cow with a panicked expression.

He has been herding since he was a child, and he has been familiar with the big cow for several years, and he is usually very tame, and Ah Jun doesn't understand why the green cow suddenly went crazy.

The sky was cold, and Qingniu's nose was humming thick white gas at this time, his eyes kept sounding, and his hooves were kicking wildly, and he was completely crazy.

"Big Bull"

Ah Jun panicked and picked up the reins, but he couldn't control the green cow at all.

The green ox went crazy, and rushed to and fro in the dense forests of the mountains.

Ah Jun was a child, and he stumbled and fell by the reins.

"Big cow, big cow!"

Ah Jun ran up from the ground, ignoring the mud print on his body, so he chased after the crazy green cow.

Ten minutes later, Ah Jun finally found the green cow in a mountain depression forest.

The green ox fell under a stout cedar tree, foaming at the mouth, lying on all fours, and fainted.

And on the cedar tree next to it, the bark was cracked, and the friction was very fresh, apparently the green cow was mad and rushed in the mountains and forests, knocking itself unconscious.

When Ah Jun saw the appearance of the big cow, his little face turned pale with fright, for fear that something would happen.

In a mountain village, a cow is a family's most valuable asset, and if the cow dies, what will happen.

Ah Jun was young, and he was scared tightly, so he cried and shook Da Niu twice with his hand, but Da Niu didn't move.

So, crying in fear, he ran down the hill to tell his family.

When Ah Jun's family heard this, they ran up the mountain in shock and called the village veterinarian.

There is no major event in the village for a year, and it is in the idle days of the past year, and after listening to the movement, they all follow to see, after all, there is a problem with the family's cattle, which is not a big matter.

So, many people in the village followed up the mountain to see the excitement.

It didn't take long for the small depression on the mountainside to surround many villagers.

The green cow in Ah Jun's house was lying on all fours, with white foam on the side of his mouth, and an elderly man with a Dong hat was squatting aside to check.

"Old man Wan, what's wrong with my cow?"

Ah Jun's grandfather, an old man with dark skin, asked the elder, who is also a veterinarian in the village.

"I think I ate something in the mountains. ”

The veterinarian guessed that there was only one case where a good cow suddenly went crazy.

"But there's no mad cow grass in the mountains. ”

Jun's grandfather wondered.

"I don't know, let's try it first. ”

..................

A few days have passed, and the cow in Ah Jun's family has been lying in the mountain and has not woken up, and the air in the cow's nose is getting less and less.

Ah Jun's family is going crazy, and the cow is dead, but it is a big loss. But his Qingniu didn't know what disease he had, so he even invited the veterinarian in the town to come and take various medicines.

The people in the village estimated that the cow was going to die in the mountains, and the big man could not be transported back.

And Ah Jun's family seems to have acquiesced, and after hiring a veterinarian a few times, they can only spread some hay on the cow and throw it in the mountains, and look at it from time to time.

It was a good year, because the cow suddenly fell ill and was about to die, Ah Jun's family sighed, spring ploughing is coming, what to do without the cow.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, on the morning of the Lantern Festival, Ah Jun, who still remembered the big cow, ran to the mountain to see the big cow as soon as he got up.

In the past few days when the big cow was in a coma, Ah Jun always stayed in the mountains to accompany it, and sometimes wiped his tears when he was sad.

In his childhood in the mountains, he was accompanied by big cows.

Early that morning, he came to the mountain, and the thick fog wet his eyebrows and face.

When he came to the depression, he saw that the hay was devoid of the cow.

Ah Jun's little face was shocked, what about the big cow?

But after he was startled, the little face climbed up with surprise again, how is the big cow?

"Big cow, big cow!"

Ah Jun's child's voice is shouting.

There was fog everywhere, and only the shadows of a few large trees around me could be seen.

He continued to shout a few more times and walked around.

Suddenly, Ah Jun heard the movement of grass and trees rubbing, his little face was happy, and he shouted to the big cow to run out of the movement.

After running a few steps, Ah Jun saw a big black shadow, who was not the big bull.

"Da Niu, you're good, great!"

Ah Jun shouted in surprise with a small face, and ran up.

"Ah Jun, I'm lost and can't find my way down the mountain. ”

I saw that the green cow saw Ah Jun, and with a look in his mouth, he actually spoke human language.

Sullen and happy.
