Chapter 43: The Phantom of the Cowshed
No one answered me, I sat on the bed and looked around for a long time, only then did I realize that it must be a dream, I wiped the sweat from my head, it was already sweaty.
"Bang la la"
I heard the sound of rain outside, I felt a little cold and cold, I felt like I was dreaming a little unreal, I heard a cow's cry clearly in my ears, I could distinguish the cry of fear, the animal's cry was very similar to the human cry, the joy and sorrow were also different, I could hear it, the cow was wailing.
I got up from the bed and looked at the time, it was already late, the room was dark, but there was some light outside the window, I leaned on the window and looked out, it was the light inside the cowshed, it was crackling outside, it was raining, no wonder I felt cold.
I walked out of the house, towards the cowshed, there was some rain on my body, I quickly ran into the walkway of the cowshed to hide from the rain, after entering, I saw an old cow lying on the ground, there was a pool of blood on the ground, and there was a viscous liquid, it should be that the old cow was about to give birth, I saw that the calf's legs were already half raw, and I knew immediately that the calf might not survive.
And the old cow may not be safe, but I think it's very strange, the old cow can obviously give birth to the calf, I can see the fear in its eyes, but it's not powerless, on the contrary, the old cow still wants to stand up.
I watched the old cow get up, walked twice in the bullpen, and lay down again, the uneasy feeling made it seem a little irritable, it lay down again, and then began to exert force, the calf came out again, the old cow was hot in his mouth, and began to foam at the mouth, which made people very unbearable to see.
I opened the bullpen, walked in and squatted in front of the bull's head, gently stroked its head, not to comfort it, but to let it not be frightened, an old cow after the fright brought by the danger is no worse than the bear blind man, I want to help it, but it may not know, but my worries are redundant, I stroked it twice, the old cow hung its head, wagged its tail, flapped its ears, and gasped, as if finally relieved.
The cow is very smart, and at this time it may know who can save it.
I turned around and pulled the calf's legs, pulling it out hard, of course I have no experience in delivering babies, but the cow is not a human, and the calf must not live, I don't have so many emotions, just drag the calf out and hold the big cow's life.
Suddenly, I saw a figure, and when I looked back, I was suddenly frightened, and I thought I had seen a ghost, a rickety body, with white hair, a face of spring bark folds, and a pair of red eyes, that look like compassion for the world, it looked particularly terrifying.
It was actually the old woman of the Yan family, she actually walked over by herself, she startled me, and I said, "Why are you walking silently?"
My tone was a little bad, I was scared, and my mood would naturally be much worse, I wiped the sweat off my face, looked at Mrs. Zheng who was standing by the door, and suddenly a thunderclap exploded, and the atmosphere was a little weird, fortunately, I am not a person who is afraid of thunder, otherwise, how many people will be frightened at this moment.
The old woman of the Yan family did not speak, but entered the cattle pen, squatted down, touched the head of the old cow, and muttered in her mouth, I couldn't hear what was said, my brain began to be a little confused, because Mrs. Zheng's tone was the same as the voice I heard when I was dreaming, you obviously knew she was talking, but you just couldn't hear what she was saying.
The old woman of the Yan family is squatting on the ground for the old cow to caress her, muttering in her mouth, the sound of the rain covers up what she wants to say, only her intermittent sobbing sound is particularly clear, the old woman of the Yan family is crying, crying very desolate, I can feel a very sad feeling, from here, I can see that the old wife of the Yan family has deeper feelings for this cow than her feelings for her grandson.
Chinese feelings for cattle is very special, in ancient times killing people to cultivate cattle is equivalent to a desperate way back, the law is also a decision, because the cattle bear a family's income for a year, so the cattle are very important, that's it, the farmers in ancient times had a very special feelings for cattle, it was a family, and they did not treat the cattle as animals.
I didn't pay much attention to the feelings of the Yan family's wife, I took the strength and pulled the calf out, but as I thought, the calf was dead, and it was out of gas when it was pulled out, I breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly my heart hung again, because the old woman of the Yan family suddenly turned her head and glared at me viciously, her eyes were very cloudy, and red, and her eyes would become particularly terrible when people were old to a certain extent, the eyes of the old woman of the Yan family were like this, and her eyes were even more vicious at the moment, It seems that I thought I killed the calf, and this kind of unwarranted accusation made me feel a little hairy.
"Hiss"
There was a little chill behind me, and the old woman of the Yan family approached me step by step, but I heard a hissing sound at the root of my ear, this voice is so familiar!
Snake! The snake spits out the letter's business, but I don't have the kung fu to care about it, because Mrs. Zheng is approaching viciously, and her hands are raised as if she wants to pinch my neck, this feeling is very much like a dream, and suddenly, a thunder slash down from the air, and the whole cowshed is bright, and I see a thick shadow on the ground, and the shadow is a stout poisonous snake lying on the roof of the cowshed to prey, which is aimed at me, and I have a heartfelt disgust for snakes.
I didn't have time to think about it, no matter how crazy the old woman of the Yan family was, I pounced first and knocked her down, but suddenly, I suddenly fell to the ground as if I was in the air, and my arm hurt when I fell, I was a little dumbfounded, obviously the old wife of the Yan family was in front of me, how could I pounce in the air?
I looked back and saw a long snake hanging on the beam of the house, its body had already pounced out, just taken back, my back was cold, if I didn't pounce just now, I guess I would have been entangled by it.
The snake had its mouth open, its fangs were two inches long, and its body was four feet long, and its body coiled on the beams of the house was more than three meters, and its neck was as thick as an adult's arm, and surprisingly, its scales were actually red, bright red, as red as a drop of blood.
"Hiss" The red snake leaned towards me, like a provocation, but also like a temptation, I looked for Mrs. Zheng left and right, but at this moment, there was a shadow of her, I was horrified in my heart, what was going on? Suddenly the snake poked its head down, I rolled suddenly, dodged, at this time the old cow stood up, howled at the red snake, panting in his mouth, and went to the top with his head, the snake was topped and fell, but the speed was very fast and entangled with the old cow.
I got up and watched the five or six hundred pounds of the old cow being entangled by this red python, and actually knelt down like this, rolling on the ground, the old cow panted, as if he was physically exhausted, but I knew that the old cow was extremely clever in doing this, and its weight of the snake quickly loosened, and then quickly escaped, because if he didn't run, even if the old cow was entangled, it would be crushed to death.
As soon as the red python got out, he climbed up towards the top pillar, I watched him escape, hurriedly took out the dragon ruler, and hit it, but the dragon ruler is not a knife, it can't be killed, it can only be let go, but at this moment, my heart is put down, but the next moment, I am worried again, where is the old wife of the Yan family?
"Who's in the cowshed? What's wrong? Did a calf be born?"
I heard someone shouting, and heard messy footsteps, looked back, took down the lantern in the shed, and walked out, it turned out to be Yan Guang and his wife, I said, "It's me, there is a snake in the cowshed, I drove it away, but the calf died, I saw your old woman before." But I don't know where I'm going, it's gone in a blink of an eye, so let's go find it. ”
The two of them looked at me like ghosts, and Yan Guang said: "My grandmother is sleeping in the house, how many years have her legs and feet been paralyzed, how can she come out, although she feels sorry for the old cow, it is impossible to climb out."
I felt strange when I heard it, so I quickly ran back and opened the door of the old woman, so I saw that she was really lying on the bed, but the strange thing was that the two hands were straight and straight, and the eyes were round, after the thunder, not to mention how scary it was, I walked over, the Yan family and the husband and wife were muttering behind me in fright, I ignored them, reached out and touched the old woman, I was stunned at the moment.
"It's cold!"
The old wife of the Yan family died, when did she die, it is estimated that it was the second half of the night, after knowing that she died, I didn't tell anyone else what happened before, anyway, I just knew it myself.
It's just that I feel angry, as if I've been suppressed by something, I know what it is, but I don't care about it for now, and when I'm done with the white business, see how I clean it up.
It's just that Yan Guang is a big deal now, his father died before, the funeral hasn't been done, and the old lady is dead again, and the two funerals have to be done, and the ancestors are particular about burying before and after, I asked Yan Guang if he wants to do it, and my opinion is not to do it, because it is a funeral, so as not to continue to suffer from future generations, but Yan Guang has to do it, he wants to invite the whole village.
I don't understand what he means, joy and mourning can be done, but this is not a joy and mourning, but a natural and man-made disaster, and it is not a good idea to do it, but Yan Guang must do it big, and I have to start planning according to the meaning of the bitter master.
I went to the longevity store to order the longevity clothes, the people are old, the next generation wants to prefabricate the longevity clothes for them, the longevity clothes are taboo a lot, I give them one by one, so as not to collide, the longevity store has a good longevity materials, the longevity materials are mostly made of cypress, the thicker the coffin, the better, and paint it.
Yan Guang wants to do a big job, I chose two good longevity materials, a thousand to money, I think since I want to do a big job, then you have to have a face, but after taking it back, Yan Guang and his daughter-in-law have to return to take a big bill of plywood, I don't understand this, but I have no way, I can only say that he is not filial, but he is good, give me a sentence of filial piety and not filial piety to choke speechless.
