Chapter 24 Wearing a Bull's Nose
Unconsciously, the red sun is slanting westward, and the tired birds return to the forest. The army began to camp again, and it is said that it will arrive in Chang'an at noon tomorrow, and the eunuch sent by the emperor to read the holy decree has been waiting there when he camps today.
It is said that the emperor will personally lead a hundred officials to the Shili Pavilion outside Chang'an City tomorrow to greet the army in person, the flood and locust plague in the past few years are too bad, and catch up with this Li Er's ass is not right, and the people say anything, this victory is what Li Er urgently needs.
It is also a good medicine for the people not to be confused, so it seems unexpectedly grand. When he was camping, Cheng bit the gold and left, to meet the eunuch who announced the decree.
Cheng Cai got ten three-year-old grassland cattle and put them next to the big tent, got a bunch of poles and sticks to enclose a simple fence, forced them to settle down, held a handful of willow sticks in his left hand, and looked at Cheng Hong with half an iron arrow rod in his right hand: "Shaolangjun, do you think this is suitable?"
Cheng Hong glanced at it: "I'm tired, I'm getting some rope, hey!" I'm taking a handful of salt! Cheng Cai answered and left.
After a while, Cheng Gong led Cheng Ping over to greet Cheng Hong, Cheng Gong pointed at Cheng Ping: "Shaolangjun, Cheng Ping has found it for you, what kind of round plow you tell him, if we have it in Datang, he will definitely see it!"
Cheng Ping should have given his hand, and Cheng Hong looked around while talking to Cheng Ping: "It's not a round plow, it's a curved plough composed of eleven parts, which are the ploughshare, the plough wall, the plough bottom, the pressure of the plough, the forehead, the plough arrow, the plough wheel, the plough tip, the plough evaluation, the plough building and the plough plate, an ox can be pulled, light and flexible, and the depth can be adjusted."
Cheng Ping thought for a while: "No, I haven't even heard of it, it's a plow pulled by two oxen, if one ox pulls a cow, wouldn't a cow be able to open a lot of land?" It has long been spread all over the world.
If Shao Langjun hadn't said it so carefully, I would have thought it was fake, if there really is such a divine plow, I think it would be best to wait for the head of the family to come back and let the head of the house have an idea of how to get it, this thing is related to people's livelihood, and there are too many ways in it. ”
Cheng Hong nodded: "When I go back to Chang'an and make it for Ajana to think, is there a carpenter who is familiar with you?" If you can't get this thing, it is estimated that Aya will be dedicated to the emperor, and if the carpenter is not familiar with each other and leaks it, it is estimated that it will be very troublesome! ”
Cheng Gong continued: "Don't get in the way, there are carpenters in the house, if you don't go to the West Market to buy a few, you won't be able to leak the secrets, they all signed the deed of sale, dare to say that they were cut down!" Cheng Hong......
At this time, Cheng Cai ran back and took a big bundle of rope and a bag of salt, "Shaolangjun, do you see what is missing?" ”
Cheng Hong walked under a tree and knocked on it with a bright silver hammer, the big elm tree with a thick waist was not mothed, and a thick oblique fork stretched out about two meters above, which was just right, and pointed to the side of the tree: "Take a charcoal pot and make a pot of charcoal fire there, and burn the iron drill head red."
The weather has just warmed, and there are still a lot of leftovers in the carbon army, but it is not difficult to find. When the carbon fire was lit, the iron chisel turned red.
Cheng Hong asked Cheng Ping to grab a handful of salt, led the cow to walk slowly to the elm tree, and found the right time, Cheng Hong knocked out the iron chain of the bright silver hammer, tied the cow's neck and head to the elm tree firmly, and then took out two ropes along the cow's belly, and went around the diagonal fork to the shoulders, and competed: "Hey!" The cow struggled, but the four hooves were off the ground and there was nowhere to borrow strength, neither the tree nor the chain could be shaken, Cheng Gong looked at the side and shook his head secretly in his heart, isn't this to kill the cow?
Cheng Hong ignored their eyes, picked up the iron bar, blew the soot on it, touched the diaphragm inside the cow's nose with his hand, and found the right position: "Zi!" The smell of roast meat came, and the cow "Moo!" ”
There was a scream, and the tears of the two big bull's eyes fell down. Cheng Hong picked up the willow strip next to him, folded it just so long, peeled the skin, passed through the nose of the cow, tied the two ends with hemp rope, tied a flower, fixed it, pulled out the rope and hung it on the horns. Then put down the cow and hooked the rope buckle with two fingers, and the cow struggled several times because of the pain of these two fingers
After Cheng Hong let go, the cow licked the knot on his nose, licked it and screamed, and after a few licks, he didn't lick it, and he didn't run to the side and blew it alone.
Cheng Gong looked at it, as if it was really like that, and pulled away two fingers, it seems, probably, maybe, almost, it should be okay! Ten cows are not much, and Cheng Hong, a strong man, is the leader of the strong man, and it will be worn out after a while, and even one of them is still worn by Cheng Ping.
Cheng Hong taught him to touch the diaphragm, how to tie the knot, how long the branches are, and emphasized that it must be willow branches, because willow branches are easy to heal, and when they are completely healed, it is good to pull them at this time, but if they do not heal, they are easy to be infected with wind evil.
Cheng Ping, who was eager to try the rope with two fingers, immediately stopped pulling, Cheng Hong saw that Cheng Ping meant that no one cared about him, he had to pull out and walk twice.
Cheng Hong was surrounded by the bullpen, Cheng Gong and they were purely looking at the novelty, seeing what the reaction was to the cow's nose, and they could be shocked when some of the cow's nose bled out, and they were afraid that the cow would die, so Cheng Hong was packing tickets next to him.
They will be skeptical, after all, no one has done this before. At this time, there was a sound of "Pully", and the horse's head ran over with a "da-da", and Zhang Zhu chased after him, snorting and panting tiredly.
Looking at the horse's head, running two steps back to see, looking at Zhang Zhuan, seeing that he had caught up with the running, if Zhang Zhu did not chase it, he would circle around Zhang Zhuan, and look at Zhang Zhu's sweating state has lasted for a while.
Cheng Hong whistled, and saw Cheng Hong there from a distance with his ears pricked up, and immediately threw down the stake and ran to Cheng Hong's side, rubbing Cheng Hong with his head, Cheng Hong rubbed the horse's head: "I forgot about you, I haven't seen and missed me for a day."
At this time, Zhang Zhu slowly walked over and gasped and said: "Cheng Qianniu, I can be regarded as seeing you, your BMW has not seen you for a day and a night, and I have been chasing it for a long time since noon, and I have been chasing it since noon, chasing it will run and stand and it will circle around me, and it will bite or kick away the horse when I ride a horse, and I have run several times back and forth in the front army and rear army, but I am tired to death."
Cheng Hong pinched the horse's ears: "Let Lao Zhang bother, this horse has been with me and hasn't been separated for so long, maybe I'm worried about me!" Naughty again, huh? ”
The horse's head raised its neck and sprayed Cheng Hong's body, and then ran to three meters away and peeked at Cheng Hong's thief's back. At this time, Zhang Zhu gasped, looked at the cow in the fence and said in surprise: "Huh? Why doesn't this grassland bull top the shelf? ”
At this time, Cheng Gong and the others noticed: But isn't it! Ten cows each occupy a place or stand or lie down, like an angry little daughter-in-law, honestly, you must know that every day there are not a few armies from all walks of life who die because of cattle fighting.
Fortunately, it is Cheng Biting Jin who has a lot of salt here, so he will use salt to pickle it, and most of the two big trucks of salt that the army is going to go to are used for this, and the army still puts less salt and more vinegar cloth when cooking.
In their words: "After the fight, why do you eat so much salt?" It's better to keep it and wait for it to eat when you go home to farm, and now you can walk a few steps a day to eat what salt? Cheng Hong......
"I heard that my nephew has a BMW, and when I saw it today, it really deserves its reputation, and your horse is really worthy of its reputation!" When I looked up, it turned out that Cheng Yanjin was back, and next to him were Li Ji, Chai Shao, Li Daozong, and a group of military generals, and An Xiuren, who was long and like the old man of the Nine Families, also came.
Li Jing didn't come, I thought it was about to arrive in Chang'an and began to be cautious again, I heard that Li Jing in Chang'an who went to his house to deliver the greeting post was not allowed to come to the door, there was a colleague who could avoid it when he walked around, and if he couldn't avoid it, he let the eldest son go instead of him, the official became bigger and bigger, and his temper became smaller and smaller, which can be called the most low-key person in Chang'an.
Li Dejian, the eldest son of his family, can be called a good baby in the second generation of officials, so low-key that everyone doesn't think he is the second generation of officials. Watching his father Cheng bite gold, spoaching and robbing the emperor's things, the hall dared to scold a generation of Confucian Confucius descendants Kong Yingda, living comfortably, it is indeed a unique job, and it is a unique skill that others can't learn.
Cheng Hong hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "Aya is back!" Then he bowed his hand to the generals: "Nephew Cheng Hong will give you a gift to your uncles." At this time, Cheng Cai came over: "Generals, you have all the wine and food, please inside."
Li Ji glanced at the cattle pen next to him: "I said Lao Cheng, have you prepared so many cows to eat?" Huh? Li Jigang was about to step forward to watch Cheng bite the gold and hurriedly put people into the big tent, "It's just a few wild cows, I have a lot of salt in Lao Cheng, pickled and eaten, nothing to see, let's go for a walk, let's drink." "Let's let everyone go into the big tent......
