Chapter 20 Cattle in the Bullpen
Bend over and dismount. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAs for the cloth bag on his back, the sunset has not been touched by his brother.
Looking at the swaying black shadows in front of him, as well as the unpleasant smell coming from his nose, Bayar directly revealed the identity here: "Brother, what are we doing in the bullpen?" ”
"I don't have time to explain to you, if I don't leave, it's too late," Sunset patted his brother on the shoulder, whispered in the other's ear, and then flipped off the horse himself.
"Keep up."
"Alright," said Bayar, stomping on the hitching post, the reins of his hand tightened a little, and then he clapped his little hands as he caught up with the sunset, which had disappeared into the darkness.
"Wait for me."
It didn't take long for Sunset to sneak up with his brother to the bullpen, feeling the rough wooden fence on the right, and Sunset fumbled for the latch.
Crunch!
It's hard to imagine that these thin garden trees are even cut with knives after being blessed by the shaman's divine power.
At night, the moon was obscured by dark clouds, and only the stars cast a sparse starlight. Even standing here, the brothers could only see the dense horns in the distance, showing clusters of sharp arcs in the starlight.
The cattle pen spread out on both sides, I don't know how many kilometers it stretched, and only when I got closer could I feel how many cattle there were in this place. As far as the eye can see, all of them are horns, and they are almost innumerable.
Sunset knows that there are nearly 100,000 cattle in it. Most of them are bighorns, but there are also some scarce species such as iron-toothed cattle or hump cattle, but the number is much smaller.
"Bayar, is there anything going on over there," the two brothers separated to check the situation before entering the bullpen.
Shortly after Sunset and his brother were separated, they met again in the shadow of a stone wall.
"No," Bayard said, shaking his head, urging in a low voice. "Let's get in quickly!"
What the two brothers are talking about is the soldiers guarding here, but in fact, the cattle here are usually not guarded at all, because these cattle are under the leadership of the leader of the king beast, once they get angry, the result is very terrifying.
But now there are strange swarms gathering outside, so Sunset and Bayar have to be cautious. It's just that I didn't expect that there were no soldiers guarding here at this time.
So the two of them returned to the previous entrance and exit of the fence, in fact, there were too many exits from the barn, and there would be one at intervals, so that the owners of the herd could take their cattle away.
Due to the vast area of the enclosure, in the past, when the herd was small, the nomads even had to ride their own horses into the cattle pens to find them. But now it's not needed, because it's all cows!
Fortunately, each of these cattle has its own territory, and under the restraint of the herd leader, the owner can find his herd very accurately every time.
In fact, all the cattle here are food for lions. In other words, such a huge herd is just a week's ration for all the lions of the tribe!
A week later, when the tribe's important festival is over, the herders, who rarely get together, have to leave the land with their lions. Otherwise, this place would simply not be able to support such a large group of Warcraft lions.
You must know that even the lions in the tribe are omnivorous and can eat some rice like their masters. But meat is also one of its indispensable foods. If they don't eat meat for a long time, these lions simply don't have the strength to drive cattle.
And for the herders. The lion's dark coat and malnourished body will become a sign of ridicule from the rest of the tribe.
Therefore, the people of the Humaya tribe, as long as their families are well-off, will not lack the stuttering food of their own lions.
And to be able to say this, it is natural that there is also the confidence of a large tribe - the Humaya tribe has a huge basin pasture in a straight line close to the forest, where the water and grass are abundant, and the rainwater of the abundant forest is intercepted.
And in that pasture, there are at least tens of millions of cattle and sheep!
"Be careful," Sunset vaguely remembered yesterday daytime, and it was in this direction that his father drove a cow from the herd. If he's not mistaken, their herd is around here.
"If only Rhubarb were here, he'd sniff out where our cattle were." Bayar said dissatisfiedly, and when he was leading the horse, he also went to the lion's shed to take a look. It's just that Rhubarb and Ah Hua are fighting hotly, and there is humming and chirping in the lion shed, not only did he not bring the other party out, but he was yelled at a few times.
"That's the Lion King in your big brother Yakehan's mind, can you come to this cow ......" Before he finished speaking, Sunset's whole soles slipped on the soles of his feet, and if he hadn't climbed the back of the cow next to him, he would have fallen to the ground.
"It's okay, brother," Bayar was also taken aback by the sudden scene.
"It's okay," Sunset reluctantly stood up, then tightened the burlap bag he was carrying on his back, and he exclaimed, "If you accidentally step on cow dung, you should be careful." ”
"Okay......" Bayard nodded, he really didn't want to trip over cow dung. The two brothers got into the herd again, and after identifying a direction, they searched carefully.
The two of them were constantly wandering among the piles of cattle that seemed to be unseparated, but in fact were distinct.
For a while, they lost their patience until sunset, and they still didn't find their herd.
"Brother, you shouldn't be misremembering," Bayar complained with his waist crossed, feeling a little deflated.
Carrying the things on his back, Sunset was also panting at this time, he was already dizzy from smoke, where was he still in the mood to talk to his younger brother. Some cattle have a lot of algae because of their strong body hair.
This can absorb the heat of the sun in the desert, and can also prevent blood-sucking flies, but if you haven't washed for a long time, the smell emitted is not good.
"Let's go on," Sunset gasped heavily, "I have a hunch that it's just ahead." ”
The leader of the herd is Abba's contract beast, so Sunset has no way to sense where the herd is. He encouraged his brother, then turned around and plunged into the sea of cattle again.
Bayard hurried to keep up.
"Moo," it just so happened that a scarce number of hump cows poked their heads out and collided with Bayar, who couldn't brake, and the huge cow's nostrils let out a hot breath, and they also stuck out their tongues, as if they were going to lick Bayar's face.
"Wow," Bayard exclaimed, and then got up from the ground, feeling his ass in fear, but fortunately his hands were dry.
But Bayar made a noise here, and all the cattle around looked at it.
It can be seen that the herd is also in a tense atmosphere at this time, and under the dim starlight, there are a pair of bull's eyes glowing with yellow light.
"Be careful," Sunset said as he walked back from the front, and he came to Bayar's side and tugged at his brother, whispering.
"Okay," Bayard could only whisper, and then rubbed the saliva from his hand against his clothes, the hump cow almost didn't lick him.
"It's really extravagant, I guess this group of cattle should be Jahan's family, only their family is so extravagant, they actually use hump cattle to feed lions."
"It is said that the lion hair raised like that is brighter and the claws are sharper," the setting sun did not look back in front of him, only to see him shrug his shoulders and say in a disapproving tone: "But who knows." ”
"Hmph, their family is naked and naked showing off their wealth," Bayard said like a fart, following his brother closely.
"Moo," but they didn't expect that behind them, the hump cow was unwilling to let the boy go, and actually hit his clothes with his idea, opened his big mouth and bit it.
"Wow," Bayard shouted, caught off guard and nearly falling back to the ground again.
"Loosen your mouth," he said, not knowing whether he was anxious or angry, clutching his clothes tightly. And Tuo Fengliu, as if he had tasted some superb delicacy, actually chewed with his eyes closed.
"Bayar, keep up!" In the darkness of the night, the setting sun calls ahead.
"I'm entangled in the cow," Bayard cried, dragging himself backwards as he could, but he couldn't make the cow move a single step, not even letting go.
"Hurry up," the voice that had been far away was rapidly approaching again.
"I knew I really shouldn't have brought you here, it's already in the middle of the night, if you don't take advantage of the night to save people, you really won't have a chance tomorrow." Sunset squeezed out the herd, and said in a complaining tone.
"It's none of my business, it's this hateful cow," the young man's tone had changed to a crying tone, and his heart was full of grievances.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go!" Sunset directly pulled out his waist knife and cut the young man's robe with a wave of his hand.
The two brothers didn't have time to delay any longer, and they hurried on the road at this time, and they didn't notice that the murderer, who had been ignored, Hump Cow, was following closely behind the two of them at this time.
"Whew, I found it," he searched for a few more moments, and the setting sun suddenly fixed his gaze in the distance.
Among the countless horns, a tall figure stood a little abruptly, not only the horns were larger than the surrounding cows, but its height was also a cut longer than the surrounding ones.
"Let's get over there," Sunset whispered to his brother as he turned his face away, his eyes fixed on the figure.
The two brothers struggled again before they came to the 'iconic building'. Even on such a starry night, the other party is so dazzling.
This is one of Darintai's contract beasts, the leader of the giant bighorn ox. Except for the bighorn cow in the lead, all the other cattle will become food for the lion.
"Apricot Blossom," Bayard cautiously stepped forward and stroked the bighorn cow, the leader of the herd, much larger than the surrounding bigfoot.
And this is a female cow, at the center of her eyebrows, there is a special spiral hair pattern, which looks like an apricot blossom. The name of this cow is not only because of this pattern.
The apricot tree is the only tree planted in the tribe, and in fact there are too few plants that can grow on the Gobi desert, and the plant that can tolerate drought and severe cold, this apricot tree is one of them.
However, the flowering period of the apricot tree is only a week, and it just so happens that in a spring full of spring, 'apricot blossoms' came to this world.
"Moo~" Xinghua naturally recognized her two little masters, she rubbed the sunset very affectionately, and then actually meekly exposed her back, obviously seeing the sunset carrying something.
"Girl, we have to wait a while," Sunset patted the other party's horns, and then looked at the black herd behind her, none of these cows had been contracted, as if they were the little brothers of the king beast, they only obeyed Xinghua's orders. Sunset knew that Xinghua's wisdom was not low, and he asked directly, "Which are your cows?" ”
"Moo~Moo~" Xinghua raised her head directly, and then in front of the eyes of the two brothers, an incredible scene happened. Countless cows sang in resonance, and of course, only their own herd responded.
Sunset has been herding with his parents since he was a child, he is very experienced, and at a glance, he roughly knows the location of the cows, in fact, after the howl of the apricot blossom, his family's cattle have gathered in a uniform manner!
"Wow, brother, you're so good." Seeing his brother commanding the herd so skillfully, even if most of it was due to Xinghua, the young man couldn't help but say envy.
"You'll be able to do that later," Sunset encouraged beside him, and then took it down from behind him, the sack he had been carrying over his shoulders.
