Chapter 124: Herding Cowherds

124 herd cowherds

Wei Fuxin and Wei Fuling were tired of sitting under the tree, so they took a handful of straw from the wheat straw stack not far away, spread it on the grass, and lay on the homemade wheat straw mat on all fours.

Wei Fuling held the grass in her mouth and said, "Yang Da is no longer in school, he follows his parents to do business."

Wei Gospel looked at the dense leaves above his head, the leaves rustling in the breeze, and the fine sunlight shining down through the gaps, and let out a thoughtful "oh".

After a while, Wei Fuling asked, "Second sister, do you like our hometown?"

Wei Gospel put one hand between his eyebrows to block the dazzling sun, squinted his eyes, and said: "I can't talk about liking it, I can't talk about disliking it, I just have no feelings for this place, I think this is just a temporary place to stay, if only our family had a house, even if it is a dilapidated bungalow, I don't know where to go when I am on vacation."

Wei Fuling said: "It's okay this time, I'll come back to accompany you."

"Second sister, how did you get here?"

Wei Gospel saw that she was a little uneasy, they all grew up with their parents, although there are many parents in the countryside who go out to work, and there are many children who are left in the countryside, Wei Gospel is really glad that his parents did not leave them behind, most of the classmates in the class have lived in the school since the first grade of primary school, although they have strong self-care skills, but they lack father's love and mother's love since childhood, which always makes people feel sad.

Wei Fuling is usually very arrogant and doesn't take anything to heart, but this time she was faintly afraid, and the description of Wei Gospel alone made her daunting.

Wei Fuxin patted the back of Wei Fuling's hand, she just re-experienced what she had experienced, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, it'll be fine after a while, you remember, you can also endure the hardships that others can endure, and there is no hurdle that you can't get over."

Although Wei Fuling nodded in agreement, her heart was still not strong enough, and her uneasiness was shown on her face.

Wei Gospel had no choice but to grab her hand and comfort her.

The front made a good start, and in the next few days, things went surprisingly smoothly, at least one cow was brought back every day, and sometimes three cows could be brought back a day, Wei Fuhai was relieved to hand over the cattle to Wei Gospel's hands, Wei Gospel had some experience in raising cattle, and led the cattle to the woods to tie the reins, as long as the cattle had grass to eat, they would be obedient and obedient, not running or barking.

At the beginning, when there were only one or two cows, she and Wei Fuling were still able to deal with it, they ate up the grass around them, and Wei Gospel untied the reins and tied them to another tree, but gradually, the cattle grew stronger, the grass in the woods was gnawed bare, there was no grass to eat, and the cattle were hungry and irritable, and they screamed wildly at Wei Gospel.

There is never a shortage of grass in the countryside, but she can't untie the reins, in case the cow runs, she can't catch up even if she breaks her leg, and after a few days of observation, she found that the cow is a social animal, as long as one of them gives orders, the herd will respond, that is, if a cow breaks free of the reins, the herd will follow, and it is a little scary to think about it.

The grass in the woods was eaten up, the cattle shouted at the sky "moo moo", Wei Gospel was anxious, with a splitting headache, and shouted at the herd: "Shut up, shut up, don't scream, I know you're all hungry, you can do well, bear with me, let me think of a way, I haven't raised cattle before."

Don't say it, it's really effective, the cows seemed to be able to understand her words, the cry immediately stopped, stared at a pair of big round eyes, turned their heads to look at her, Wei Gospel folded his hands together, and begged: "Brothers, it's good, don't rebel, bear with it for a few more hours, I don't know where to get grass for you, everyone bear with me, wait for my dad to come back, you will have something to eat, please, please."

The herd seemed to understand her words, and Wei Gospel prayed over and over again, "Everyone, don't run, if you run, I can't catch up", listening to her words, the herd quieted down, and stopped calling, Wei Gospel sighed: "Animals are really spiritual." ”

Before the words fell, the herd raised its head to the sky and roared, the mournful wail resounded through the sky, animals are animals after all, where do they care about these, like children, sleep when they are full, cry when they are hungry, this is the nature of animals, more than a dozen big yellow cows blinked and looked at Wei Gospel, looking up to the sky "moo" screaming, Wei Gospel covered his ears with both hands, it was really no way.

"Don't scream, okay, oops, the field is someone else's crops, you can't eat it, you know, what to do if you eat other people's crops, next year there will be no harvest, everyone will be quiet for a while, you all disturb the people, do you know."

After a while, an old man staggered over, probably attracted by a deafening cry, Wei Fuxin and Wei Fuling covered their ears, and one of them guarded one end of the woods, in case they broke free from the reins, so that they could intercept them at any time.

When Wei Gospel saw his grandmother coming, he hurriedly walked over to help him, and said, "Grandma, why are you here, be careful not to fall."

The old man held a rag bag sewn from old clothes, which she usually used to hold straw, she stuffed the cloth bag into Wei Gospel's hand and said, "These livestock are hungry, you go and pack some straw for them to eat."

Wei Gospel was stunned, and had a slight doubt in his heart, the cattle eat grass, and now the grass in the woods is gnawed bare, and the straw in the wheat straw stack is dry and hard, and they can't squeeze out a drop of water if they are pressed, will they eat it, and there is no other better way to do it now, so I have to try.

Wei Gospel left for a while, walking on the dirt road, although there are a lot of wheat straw stacks in the village, but she really doesn't dare to mess around with people she doesn't know, and the wheat straw stacks are generally reserved for fire.

Coming to the wheat straw stack at her uncle's house, Wei Gospel hurriedly filled a small half bag of straw, and hurried to the woods non-stop, she panted and distributed the straw in the cloth bag to the big yellow cow under the tree, they instantly quieted down, stretched out their long tongues, rolled the wheat straw into their mouths, chewed slowly, and finally stopped screaming.

Seeing that the herd was quiet, Wei Gospel breathed a long sigh of relief, not worrying that the cattle would starve, put his arm around the old man, and said with a smile: "Grandma, you are really amazing, how did you come up with this method."

There are more and more cattle bought, so much that the yard can't stand, when there are fewer cattle, at night, Wei Fuhai will lead the cattle to the yard, now the cattle team is growing, and then lead to the yard, my aunt's face is even more ugly, Wei Fuhai set up a simple wooden bed in a flat place in the woods, and slept outside, their recent movement is too big, all the towns and villages know that there is a foreigner to buy cattle, everything must be careful, the situation of stealing sheep and cattle in the countryside happens from time to time, to prevent someone from wanting to take advantage of the fire to rob, We must always be vigilant, but whenever there is any trouble, Wei Fuhai does not dare to close his eyes all night.

Wei Gospel felt that Wei Fuhai bought cattle during the day, kept vigil at night, couldn't sleep well, took the initiative to ask Ying, she and Wei Fuling took turns to keep vigil at night, Wei Fuling kept vigil for the first half of the night, she kept watch for the second half of the night, and unconsciously, half a month passed.
