Chapter 416: Cows also have tempers
Zhang Dazhuan screamed for a while, and suddenly Liu Heizi said: "There is a voice!" Listen, proprietor"
Zhang Dazhuan listened attentively, filtering out the sound of the wind, the sound from the mountains and forests became louder and louder, it was the sound of living creatures walking through the woods, driving branches and vines, and trampling on grass and trees.
He couldn't help but be overjoyed, and shouted: "Black, come home!" ”
The woods suddenly "mooed" and screamed, mixed with a chaotic struggle, and I don't know what was going on.
Then I heard an "oooos", and then there was no sound again, but out of the dim woods came two sturdy buffaloes, "moo" happily, and ran towards Zhang Dazhuan.
Liu Heizi reacted very quickly, and when he heard the sound that was obviously made by a person, he rushed into the woods following the sound despite the darkness of the forest, shouting: "Don't run!" Raised by a son of a bitch, dare to steal a cow! ”
At the same time, Zhang Dazhuan was happy, but his heart also sank: Someone really stole the cow!
Two oxen ran to Zhang Dazhuan and rubbed beside him affectionately; Zhang Dazhuan kept touching the hair on their necks, and said in his mouth: "Why are you so stupid, whoever leads you will follow?" Changhe, quickly grab the torch and see who is over there. Hmph, dare to steal cattle! Black-hearted guy, can you steal cows casually? Look, I'll take you to the yamen!" ”
He had already heard Zheng Changhe shouting and coming this way, and saw him holding a torch, so he said so.
Zheng Changhe came panting, and when he saw that the cow had returned, he was very happy, and when he heard that someone had stolen the cow, he was furious and asked, "Where is it?" ”
Zhang Dazhuan raised his hand and pointed to the woods in front of him, and said, "Over there, Brother Heizi has passed." Let's go over and take a look. Light this torch too. Stay here, black man, don't run—" Suddenly he leaned closer to the bull's head with a torch and looked closer—"This bastard, he has ripped the bull's nose open. Black-hearted and rotten liver thing! ”
He was very angry: it must have been the black man who heard him cry just now, and wanted to come this way, and the cattle thief dragged the cow rope and didn't let him, and he was stunned to break the wooden bolt on the cow's nose, and the cow's nose also broke out, and the dark red blood stains came out, which was not very conspicuous on the gray-black bull's nose, and he couldn't find it if he didn't pay attention, but the other black cow was fine.
But he was so distressed that while stroking the cow's head, he shouted to the other side, "I can't let him run away." This son of a bitch raises a cow like this. ”
Zheng Changhe said: "This black rumbling knock, I'll see where he is going." You wait, I'll get him out. Brother Kuroko, have you found someone? ”
Zhang Dazhuan also followed with a torch.
The two of them did not dare to run around, fearing that the torch would ignite the trees, so they carefully pulled away the branches and headed into the jungle. //
In the darkness, Liu Heizi shouted: "Here! Ha ha! Play dead dogs. I'm afraid I told the horns to rip out the horns - I heard him scream first, and I knew that there must be no good thing, don't die, right? Owner, come and take care of it. ”
Although there was no moon this night, it was not the kind of darkness that could not be seen - there were stars in the sky, and Liu Heizi was used to the dark night, so he saw a black mass of humanoid objects by the bushes in front of him, and he felt that it was the cattle thief, and the cow barked in this area before, and he rushed over with the sound.
After a long toss, Zhang Dazhuan and Zheng Changhe shone the cattle thief lying on the ground with torches, looked at each other, and regretted that they should not have come in.
Why? The man told the ox to push it with its horns, and was curled up on the ground, without making a sound, and he didn't know what it was hurting—there was blood on the dead leaves beside him.
The three men all hesitated: Can't someone steal their own cattle, not only did they not settle accounts with him, but they also had to help him find a doctor to see the injury, right? If you ignore it, the three honest men really can't do it, who knows if they will see a corpse when they come over tomorrow morning?
The grievance in Zhang Dazhuan's heart is really angry! If I had turned around and left just now, I wouldn't have been so entangled now.
This stretch of hand must be a trouble: this man looks like a nearby farmer, who came out to steal because he was poor, and if he helps him see the wound, he hopes to get the money back. This means that he stole the Zhang family's cattle and was injured by the horns, and Zhang Dazhuan still has to help him treat his injuries, and no one will be happy about this matter.
Liu Heizi felt very guilty in his heart - he rushed over first, and he asked loudly: "Boss, what should you do?" ”
Zhang Dazhuan said sullenly: "What else can I do?" If I don't get out, I won't be able to sleep tonight. What do you call it? Why isn't it going well today? No, it's not going well these days. ”
Zheng Changhe also has nothing to say, so he should be left alone, right? He couldn't do it himself.
Liu Heizi stepped forward and flipped the man over, only to see that his eyes were closed, and one hand was covered under his ribs, where there was blood stains and his clothes were soaked.
He sniffed, and felt that there was still breath, so he pinched the man hard.
Zhang Dazhuan said: "Carry it out first, it's dark in this forest, and it's not good to light a torch." Changhe, you go ahead and follow the road, the Heizi brothers carry him in the middle, and I follow behind.
After some hectic work, several people left the jungle.
Although the rope on the nose of the two cows had fallen, they automatically followed him and walked home after Zhang Dazhuan said hello.
By the river, He and Aunt Liu were waiting anxiously, when they saw two fires coming from the side of the mountain, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and smiled at Aunt Liu: "I'm back." The cow was found, and I saw it. ”
The two stepped forward happily, and were just about to ask how they found the cow, but they saw Liu Heizi carrying a person on his back, his arm drooping, and he was stunned, and He asked, "His father, which one is this?" ”
Zhang Dazhuan waved his hand annoyingly: "Let's talk about it when we go home." After saying that, he left with his hands behind his back and his head down.
He looked at a few people suspiciously, and he didn't want to ask again, so he went back with them.
After arriving home, Zhang Dazhuan first instructed He to soak some beans and feed the cattle at night, saying that the nose of the black slug was pulled open and needed to be repaired; He asked Chrysanthemum to find some wound medicine and put a layer on the nose of the black man, and he took the rest himself, and went to the West Chamber to see the cattle thief.
Liu Heizi put the man in the West Wing Hall, and was about to step forward to pinch him, but the man turned over and knelt down for him - it turned out that he had already woken up - and did not speak, but kept kowtowing.
Zheng Changhe said angrily on the side: "So you are okay? Why don't you squeak and let the Kuroko brothers carry you back? ”
The man panicked, hurriedly shook his hand, and lifted the placket of his clothes, only to see a bloody paste under his ribs, Zhang Dazhuan happened to walk in, and was startled when he saw this situation, and then said angrily: "What are you doing?" Shine this wound out and scare people? I'm telling you, you deserve it. Do you still want me to help you treat it? ”
He saw that although the wound under this person's ribs was terrifying, he knelt there, as if he was quite energetic, and immediately let go of his heart, and he was not depressed, and he was in the mood to curse. To be honest, he was really afraid that the man was seriously injured, and he would rather he be well, and then let him scold him and let him go.
The man already knew that Zhang Dazhuan was the owner, and turned to him to kowtow.
Liu Heizi suddenly said: "You are from Yushu Village, I have seen you, it is the one..." … The ......" he couldn't remember what this man's last name was, and frowned and thought hard.
The man said in a hoarse voice: "My surname is Jia, and my father is Jia Quan." I am the second child of the Jia family. ”
So he kowtowed and said, I almost explained the eight generations of my ancestors.
Chrysanthemum took care of the chestnuts and shallots in the room, and told the story to the gourd, and after a while, I heard He come in and call for dinner.
She picked up the shallot and asked, "Are you alright?" The man who stole the cattle and let it go? ”
He picked up the chestnut and walked out of the room with her, and heard Zhang Dazhuan say loudly: "If you don't let him go, do you want to keep him for a night?" It's really unlucky, I stole our cow, but I can't wait to send him away. Now that he's gone, I'm feeling better. I thought that he had a hole in his stomach by the horns, and he would definitely be sent to Tangji to see the doctor, but I couldn't ignore it, so I felt so uncomfortable. ”
Chrysanthemum was busy asking why, and when she heard what Zhang Dazhuan said, she couldn't help laughing.
It turned out that the cattle thief was not here to steal the cattle, but just wanted to go back with the two chickens and ducks. He turned around and couldn't find a chance, just when he found that the Zhang family's cattle were placed on the hillside, no one took care of them, and he was greedy, so he thought that if he took the cow and sold it, it would be worth a lot of silver, not better than stealing a duck? Anyway, stealing chickens and ducks is stealing, stealing cattle is also stealing, it's better to steal a big one, you can buy more food, and you can also make your family better.
But the cow refused to go.
Later, he broke a branch and drove two oxen into the woods, and wanted to go around the mountain, so he took them to the market and sold them cheaply tomorrow morning, and got a few taels of silver. Who knew that as soon as Zhang Dazhuan called "Black Seed", the two cows turned their heads and ran back, unable to pull them at all. He did not want to give up the money he had, so he grabbed the rope of the ox and did not let go.
The black man was furious, so he broke free from the rope, pulled the ox's nose open, and ran with the other black bull to Zhang Dazhuan.
This man is also poor and crazy, Zhang Dazhuan obviously found it, just outside the forest to call the cow, he didn't run away quickly, so as not to be caught, but after the black man broke free, he grabbed the other cow and didn't let go, thinking that he couldn't steal two, so he could lead one back.
The cow is actually very smart, but it is well fed, so it refuses to hurt people at will. Today, when I heard my master calling home, I was anxious, but the man in front of me was holding on, and the clay man was also angry, not to mention a cow, so the black bull twisted his head and hit him with his horns. Fortunately, he rubbed his ribs and hit him, and he only suffered some skin wounds, and if he missed a little more, he would have had to be pierced by the horns of the bull in the stomach.
Even so, it scared the man unconscious.
After hearing this, Chrysanthemum also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with palpitations: "Dad, this is your kindness and good reward." You're right, let him go, and be sure-footed. If that person is seriously injured, our family will definitely not be able to die without help. But saving a man who stole his own cattle was really frustrating. ”
He smiled: "But isn't it, I heard him say the reason, and he is from the next village, and he cried and said that the family can't live, and the baby is hungry every day to find wild food, otherwise he won't come out to steal, I can't bear it, and when I saw that he was not seriously injured, I let him go." If he really pokes a hole in his stomach, he will not be happy, and we will not be stable—don't even think about resting tonight, and maybe send him to the market to see the doctor.
Zhang Dazhuan nodded again and again, saying that he felt much more comfortable when he left, but he was very uncomfortable just now
The family sat down at the table to eat, and Zheng Changhe went back with the gourd, saying that he was afraid that his mother would worry about him.
