Chapter 177: Bison Bill
Wang Xika decided to recuperate from his injuries in the camp for a few days. Anyway, it's not in a hurry, if the wound is not thorough, it will not be good to cause the wound to crack on the way.
During this time, everyone was busy continuing to enlighten Munch, and this work was mainly done by the tengu. Zach was responsible for teaching Munch some of the Mao's combat skills, such as archery, shooting, and so on. It also teaches Munch how to ride a Tyrannosaurus rex.
Munch, who grew up in the snowy mountains, grew up in a relatively closed environment and had no contact with outsiders. If he is allowed to go on like this, it is estimated that he will really become an ignorant snow-capped mountain savage. Fortunately, he suddenly got to know this era, and Wang Xijia, the most knowledgeable person on the planet, and his party completely changed Munch's fate.
Munch was hungry for all kinds of knowledge, combat skills, survival skills, dance moves, good songs, cooking skills, languages of different races, and Newton's three laws...... Munch is like a dry sponge, hungry for all kinds of knowledge.
Everyone has something to do, but the newly domesticated bison Bill, who seems to have nothing to do. This neighborhood is where it lives, but it can't go back. Because it already has an owner - Wang Xijia.
Cattle were one of the first animals to be domesticated by humans, and this special bond with humans seems to be present in their genes. When humans began to try to domesticate them, they would go into a battle to the death. However, when they lose the battle and are ridden by humans, they become extraordinarily submissive, taking the humans who domesticated them as their masters.
When the master told them to plough the ground, they ploughed the ground, and when they told him to pull it, they pulled the cart. In this way, they have established a kind of contract with humans, in which they are responsible for doing tasks that humans are not good at, such as running long distances and doing heavy physical labor. And humans are responsible for providing them with food.
Ever since he was ridden up by Wang Xijia, Bill thought he had established this pact with Wang Xijia. And Wang Xijia did travel his own obligation: to provide Bill with a lot of food every day to help him recover his health.
But Bill didn't fulfill his obligation to do his labor, because Wang Xika didn't assign him any tasks. He was not allowed to plow the ground, nor was he used as a mount. The only thing I have to do every day is to eat and sleep, and sleep and eat. When I do work every day, I look forward to rest. But when you really rest, and you feel bored, emptiness is terrible, even more terrible than work.
As a bison, Bill had always been busy: finding fresh grass every day, watching out for hunters and other wild beasts, and fighting other bulls for mating rights.
In the winter, they migrate from the cold north to the south, and in the summer they migrate from the hot south to the north. It can be said that it has been a lifetime of hard work, but now, life is suddenly idle.
When you have a lot of free time, you will inevitably think cranky: Bill suddenly thought of a possibility, Wang Xijia domesticated himself, is it possible that instead of allowing himself to do labor, he wants to use himself as a breeding cow or kill and eat him? In this way, humans can get a large number of excellent baby cows. And this kind of cattle specially used for breeding is also called breeding cattle. Will it become a breeding cow?
Cows are not monogamous, but Bill has his own crush. It was a beautiful heifer that Bill and the other buffalo had fought countless times to win the heart of the heifer. If he is a breeding cow, how can he be worthy of this cow, how can he be worthy of his previous struggles? But even if he does not want to, the master forces himself to be a breeding cow, and even if he is reluctant, he can only obey the master.
No, I haven't seen the owner domesticate other cattle in the past two days. If you want to breed cattle, then the owner will definitely domesticate other cows, and if there are no other cattle, then it is not a breeding cow.
If you are not engaged in labor, and you are not a breeder of cattle, and you can provide yourself with good food and drink every day, then there is only one possibility - the owner domesticates himself in order to use it as a beef cattle.
Sometimes humans will domesticate some animals, not let these animals move, just provide food every day, raise these animals to be fat, and then eat them. The most common breeding animals used for eating are cows, pigs, and chickens. In this era, there were no modern farms. But people everywhere have started to raise some animals for food.
If the owner raises himself as a beef cattle, what can he do? It seems that he can't do anything but accept his fate in silence. Thinking of this, Bill couldn't help but shed tears of sadness, and he didn't have much appetite for food.
Wang Xijia saw that Bill didn't eat every day, and he shed tears every day, and he felt hairy in his heart. Remembering that Lang Nado seemed to know animal language, he asked Lang Nado to communicate with this buffalo Bill.
Lang Nado asked, but Bill just shook his head and didn't say anything. Bloody Fang, who also knows animal language, the gray beaver can't ask anything, even when the tengu asks, Bill still doesn't say a word, and at the same time doesn't eat much.
There was no way around it, looking at Bill, who was getting thinner and thinner, Wang Xika began to wonder if the cow was suffering from depression? Could it be that the cow was not convinced by his own defeat, so he went on a hunger strike to protest?
"I'll take a look. With that, Nikolai approached Bison Bill and placed a cold hand on the bull's head.
Seeing Nikolai, Wang Xika was a lot more relieved: Nikolai has a special ability - to be able to see some pictures in other people's minds and understand other people's hearts. This ability is also effective for cattle, and Nikolai, as a doctor, should also have some treatment for depression or something.
Nikolai stroked the bull's head with his hands and looked at Bison Bill with both eyes, motionless, as if time had stopped. After a long time, he looked up and said, "It's okay, it just thinks about the cow, and I'm afraid that you will fatten it and eat it." So a little scared. ”
I have to say that Nikolai really has a hand, and he easily saw through Bill's careful thinking.
"Ahem, that's it, go tell this cow, I won't kill it, let it be a mount and go to Niagara." After about a month or two, it will continue to return to the herd, what should it do? If you want a partner, you can go back and say hello. If I'm really reluctant or reluctant, I'll just find another mount. Wang Xika said with a smile.
"I can read the minds of animals, but I can't speak their language, so you better let Lang Nado translate for it. Nikolai actually knows a little bit of animal language, but he doesn't want to say it because he feels a little ashamed.
Lang Naduo didn't have this ideological baggage - he liked to speak animal language very much, so he translated Wang Xijia's words to Bison Bill.
To outsiders, it sounds as if Lang Nado is learning how to call a cow "moo moo", but Bison Bill sounds shocked - this Lang Nado has a very authentic accent and sounds almost like a local.
This time, Bison Bill also opened his heart to Lang Nado, chatted happily for a while, and untied the little knots in his heart. Bill said that he was willing to accompany Wang Xika to Niagara as a mount, and was willing to eat.
At the same time, Bill also raised his own question: Since he is going to Niagara, why not leave in the past two days?
After listening to this, Wang Xika pointed to his stomach and said, "You have to recuperate from your injuries and play here for a few days." ”
After Lang Naduo translated Wang Xijia's words, Bison Bill said, "Blame me?"
Lang Naduo did not translate this sentence, for fear that Wang Xijia would really make Bill into beef jerky after hearing it. But Wang Xijia still asked reluctantly, "What did it say just now?"
"Oh, it didn't say anything, it said I wish you a speedy recovery!" There is a language barrier between Wang Xika and Bill, so they have to rely on Lang Nado. And what Lang Naduo says is what it is, and neither side will doubt it.
"You tell it to say thank you. I'll play here for a few more days and set off in 5 days. "Knight Wang Xika's wound has already scarred, and it is okay to leave immediately, but he thinks it is safe to stay for a few more days.
This sentence was translated truthfully.
"Oh, you told him that if I leave in five days, I want to take a leave of absence, go back and talk to my friends, and come back in five days to take him to Niagara. ”
This sentence is not sure whether it should be translated like this...... He'd never seen a mount like Bill's. If I didn't go to work for a day, I thought about asking for leave first. What boss would love an employee like that?
But as a translator, Lang Naduo finally adhered to his professionalism and translated Bill's words to Wang Xijia as they were.
"Oh, okay. You tell it that if you say it's going to do it, you have to see it in 5 days, or you'll stew it. Wang Xika said. Anyway, he has been recuperating from his injuries for the past few days, and this buffalo Bill can't do anything here, and it is normal for him to go home and say goodbye to his family. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't. Bloody Fang, the gray beaver will be caught in minutes.
"The boss agreed, we guys talk about it, if you don't come back in 5 days, you won't be mixed up in the future. Lang Naduo changed Wang Xijia's words again privately, omitting the word "stewed". As a translator, he is very kind.
"Come, since I said it, I will definitely come. See you here in 5 days. ”
"Okay, then you can go. ”
With that, Bill left the camp happy. Just like all employees who take paid leave, I feel special and happy.
In the past 5 days, it has a lot of things to do, the first is to say hello to friends in the group, ask them to reserve a place for themselves, and they will come back in two months. In addition, you should also whisper to your beloved heifer and let it wait for you and not eat the grass of other cows.
I thought it was very good, but when I returned to the group, I was shocked! Before being captured by the Blood Fangs, Bill was the leader of the group, and it has only been two days, and a new leader has been selected in the group, and his disappearance does not seem to be important at all to the group members!
Seeing Bill's return, the bison herd was also stunned! In the past, it was common for cattle in the herd to be taken away by jackals, tigers and leopards, but I had never seen anyone who had been plundered and could come back.
