Chapter 30: Slaughtering the Cow
After getting rid of He Zhenren's so-called "Heaven and Earth Net" four people, grandpa can be regarded as a stone in his heart, went home to eat, and didn't tell my grandma about it, grandpa hasn't come out of that kind of infernal atmosphere, but who would have thought that the "person" who acted as a spy by his side turned out to be a corpse in the back of his head?
After eating, my grandfather arrived at the cowshed once, and He Zhenren was already waiting there, and after seeing my grandfather, he asked, "All four of them have been done?" Now you have to take it easy in this atmosphere, don't just get things done here, and your big-character poster over there has been posted again. ”
"Don't worry, the two people you are looking for are very reliable, He Zhenren, you said that you want me to come after you get someone, what's the matter?" Grandpa asked.
"Slaughter the cow." He Zhenren frowned, looked at my grandfather and said.
"Cattle slaughtering ?!!" Grandpa's eyes almost popped out.
"Yes, Gengchen, I have to discuss this matter with you, you can make your own decision." What a true humanity.
No matter what he said, even if he asked his grandfather to donate all the food in the family now, he would not blink his eyes, but he did not dare to admit to slaughtering cattle, he had not experienced that era, and he did not know how important the ox, the most faithful servant of mankind, was in that era.
Ploughing, ploughing, driving, now it seems that a modern tractor can do it, it used to be made of cattle, the production team of this big cattle, or at that time almost a village of people to buy one, on weekdays everyone is raised as a baby, after all, some heavy people can do, but there is absolutely no high efficiency of cattle, and the cow does not eat, it only eats grass, but can give everyone a bumper harvest.
The production team of the lock village is a cow, but it is definitely better than the bulls in other villages, when the farm is busy, everyone is in line, and other villages even take a bull much bigger than this one to exchange for grandpa does not agree, otherwise how can he really have a special job, that is, herding cattle?
That is, more than a month ago, there was good news, that is, to make the whole village happy, that is, this cow gave birth, which is definitely a big deal in the lock village, whether the calf is alive, whether it is sold for money or also cultivated when it grows up, it is beneficial to the whole village.
Slaughtering cattle? Rao is my grandfather in the lock village said that he didn't dare to make a decision, after all, this is really something that will cause public outrage!
But since He Zhenren brought it up, grandpa didn't know what to say for a while, and after holding it for a long time, the man held back a sentence: "You have to kill the cow?" ”
He Zhenren also knew the stakes, and even knew why his grandfather was so hesitant, and sighed: "Gengchen, if there is a little way, I will not make you so embarrassed." ”
"Why?" Grandpa chuckled in his heart, but still asked such a sentence.
"I can't come forward tonight because Li Guofeng will run away when he knows my breath, looking for the four of you, which is tantamount to bullying his carelessness, why? He is a ghost, you are a human, as long as he doesn't want you to see it, you can't see him at all, if you can't see it, then even if there is a charm, how can it be attached to Li Guofeng's body? So the premise is that if you can see him, then you have to open the eyes of heaven, and if you open the eyes of heaven, you will have tears. "What a true humanity.
"Cow tears?" Grandpa asked.
"Yes, if you have tears in your eyes, you can see ghosts." What a true humanity.
"Except for this, there is nothing else, maybe other sects have other ways to open the eyes of the sky, but you also know, I followed my master to learn the Tao within a few years of his old man drove to the west, I didn't learn too much, if my master and his old man are still alive, just Li Daring, as soon as the peachwood sword comes out, it will definitely be a snap of the fingers into the eighteenth layer of hell." What a true humanity.
"Your master will live a long life, and he will definitely not survive this time." Grandpa said silently.
"That's right, so I'm thinking about it now, did my master and his old man calculate that there would be such a day, so they refused to teach me anything, and if I can return to the world, don't be a Taoist priest in the Supreme Temple, and go down the mountain as soon as possible." He Zhenren also sighed.
After speaking, Grandpa was silent, He Zhenren didn't speak, no matter how much the two of them argued, they couldn't get around the problem in front of them, slaughtering cattle.
"Zai! I'll take care of what's going on! It's a big deal, I, Guo Gengchen, will be a bull for everyone next year! Grandpa spat and said.
"Slaughter the big one, slaughter the small one?" He Zhenren asked.
Grandpa made a difficulty, and after a decision, he had to make another decision immediately, and in the end, he said to He Zhenren: "You have the idea of this." ”
"Calf, although this cow has been old for a long time, it is not old at all, and I have been feeding for a long time, and I have a little affection. In case the calf can't go into battle during spring ploughing next year, it's also a troublesome thing, and you can't really be used as a cow. "What a true humanity.
"Cheng, I'll go find a knife. In the afternoon, I said to the villagers that the cow was sick and died, let's fool it first, and everyone can't understand us. Grandpa said, and went home, because I had a pig-killing knife at home.
took the knife and went back, He Zhenren was already boiling hot water, even if it was a calf, he had to eat meat after slaughtering, after all, the materials were too scarce in that era, not that compassion was overflowing, can compassion be eaten?
Grandpa sharpened the knife, He Zhenren boiled water, and he was going to kill it later, the most valuable object in the village at that time, ploughing the cow, for a few cow tears, licking the tears of the calf, for a dead man, which sounds a little ironic.
Everything was ready, the calf didn't know that he was going to die, and was still playing happily with the old cow, and the old cow seemed to know something, and looked at He Zhenren in a daze.
He Zhenren lit a few sticks of incense, inserted them in front of the calf, and the whole person knelt on the ground and said: "Have a good birth in the next life, after you die, I will recite the mantra for you like a human being, don't blame me, everything is to save people." ”
Grandpa didn't kneel, he is still uncomfortable in his heart now, He Zhenren's behavior is in his eyes, although he admits that He Zhenren is a compassionate person, but to put it bluntly, this is to be a bitch and still want to set up a memorial arch, and he is going to slaughter people, kneel down, is it meaningful?
He Zhenren got up and said to his grandfather: "Go, kill it, remember, kill it in front of the old cow, it feels sorry for its child, and the tears that come out are with the blood of the cow, only this can open the eyes of the sky." ”
"Do you have to be so cruel?" Grandpa asked.
"Well, go ahead, I don't want to." What a true humanity.
Grandpa picked up the knife, pulled the calf, and stabbed it in the throat in front of the old cow, and the calf would soon die of anger. He really can't bear it, grandpa is in his bones, and he is a very kind person.
But in order to take revenge, in order to kill that Li Guofeng, he must be like this, brutes, no matter how good they are, they are not as valuable as human gold, and human nature itself is selfish.
At this time, the cow began to struggle violently and screamed, and kept kicking her legs, trying to save the dying calf, the cow's nose plug pulled the cow's nose out of blood, and the grandfather looked even more uncomfortable, but he still gritted his teeth and stabbed the cow's neck.
At this time, the cow, who was still struggling just now, suddenly became quiet, it popped, and its front legs landed on the ground, which was a very humane action.
It's kneeling!
At the same time, tears began to fall from the cow's widening eyes.
"Stop!" He Zhenren screamed, ran to the cow quickly, took a small bottle, carefully caught the tears falling from the cow, and after a while, He Zhenren closed the bottle cap, patted the cow's head, and said: "It is said that animals are psychic and psychic, and it hurts you, don't blame me, otherwise, how can you keep your child?" ”
After speaking, he took down his grandfather's knife and said, "Okay, don't slaughter the cow." ”
Grandpa was stunned from the moment the cow knelt down, and he didn't even know what was going on. He Zhenren tied up the two cows, grabbed the grandfather who didn't know what was going on, and said, "Gengchen, you said that I fed the cow myself, how can I be willing to kill it?" This is a life, what I told you just now, why do you say it here, it's not that I'm cruel, but I deliberately said it in front of the old cow, this beast, except that he can't open his mouth to say human words, what else can't? I'm just scared it to tears, and that's it. ”
"That's it?" Grandpa is incredible, how determined he just made to get ready for surgery?!
"It's done! Okay, take a breath, look at your ugly face! He Zhenren said with a smile.
Grandpa breathed a sigh of relief, and unconsciously, on a cold day, his clothes were wet with sweat, and he was frightened by the eyes of the cow.
