"Oh...... Yo yo yo ...... Oh...... Yo yo yo ......"

Brown/Rodriguez inhaled deeply, exhaled a long breath, and the breath started from the abdominal cavity and passed quickly through the throat, squeezing from the purged lips into thin lines, turning into a string of loud and long voices, and at the same time the right hand shook a soft rod a full two or three people high, driving the ploughing cattle back to the herd, which were attracted by the tender grass after the rain and gradually stopped.

Seeing the stragglers obediently returning to the group, Brown smiled slightly, this is a delicate work, just like the surname "Rodriguez", which means "cattle herder", which has been passed down from his father's father, and then passed down from generation to generation by himself.

It's all because of this craft that my life is so comfortable.

The same is to work for the master, compared with the serfs in the village, or the villagers who have a few plots of land, their own family has always been well fed and clothed, and thanks to the blessings of the villagers, no matter how heavy the farm work, their family can always complete it the fastest and most easily.

Of course, the most important thing is that the price that must be paid for the "fastest and easiest" is often not borne by one's own family.

It's just that...... Nothing is a bit of a surprise.

Thinking of this, the smile on Bron's face faded a little, and he couldn't help but think of the unhappiness of last night.

Didn't you just use the cow by the way, didn't you accidentally get a little injury?

Blang shook his head slightly, I really didn't know that old William was so ignorant, and the old guy didn't want to think about it, if it wasn't for his hard work from morning to night, he would be able to raise the cow so strongly? Can you work in the ground as soon as you need it?

Bah!

I don't know what to do!

You deserve to run around and can't borrow a plow in the middle of the night!

Thinking of the plough truck...... Bron's brow suddenly frowned, and he tilted his head slightly: "Baker......"

A few steps away, a young man who was intently staring at the herd, also wielding a long soft rod in his hand, immediately turned his head: "Father, what's wrong?" ”

“…… Where did old William last borrow the plow? ”

“…… Look at the look of the plough truck......"

Baker looked up and thought, "Looks like ...... It seems to be the Todd family...... By the way, when I passed by the holy talisman just now, I happened to see Thorde squatting in the field and hoeing the grass, and he hadn't started plowing it yet, so it should be Thorde's house. ”

As they spoke, passing by a few bushes, the two of them drove the cattle to a wooden bridge made of several logs.

"Todd's house?" Brown groaned a little as he pulled the herd together.

"yes...... What's wrong, father? ”

"It's fine...... Your uncle came to me in the morning for the sake of ploughing, and I was wondering which cow to use...... Now it seems...... Todd's house is a nice one......"

"The Todd family? ......" Baker looked suspicious: "Father, the Thord family...... Doesn't there seem to be a cow? ”

"It's okay, his brother's family has one, you can prepare it at night......"

"At night? Is it late for the evening? ”

Walking in front, Baker continued to speak while waving a long stick to drive the ploughing oxen walking in front into a line, driving the two ploughing oxen in front onto the wooden bridge, "...... Otherwise, prepare the rope in the afternoon, and ......"

"Be careful!" Brown let out a loud shout, interrupting Baker's "preparations".

It's too late......

"Wow!" "Wow!" "Wow!"

...... "Bang! Bang! Bang! "Moo......" "Moo......"

With a series of loud noises and wails, the wooden bridge suddenly collapsed, and seven or eight broken logs fell into the stream along with two poor ploughing oxen.

Next to the wooden bridge, as if trying to grasp something, Brown and Baker raised their hands in vain and leaned forward, stunned.

"What's going on with this bridge, it's okay to walk every day, what's wrong, why is it ...... suddenly?"

It took a long time for Baker to come back to his senses suddenly, his eyes widened, staring at the original wooden bridge and the current air, and quickly exhaling a series of jumbled syllables.

"What else to see! Don't hurry down yet! ”

Without bothering to find a path, he climbed the bank of the stream, and Brown slid directly down the steep slope of the two-person height, stood into the knee-high stream, and shouted at Baker, who was still standing on the shore and muttering to himself.

Half a minute later, Baker, whose upper body was covered in mud and whose lower body was immersed in the stream, stood beside Brown.

"How......" Baker asked cautiously.

"It's bad...... Wounded at both ends......" Bron's brow furrowed deeply.

After dealing with the ploughing ox for more than 20 years, when he came over, Burang had already seen that one of the two ploughing oxen had injured his front leg and the other had injured his abdomen, and the situation was very bad.

“…… What to do...... What should I do......" Baker clenched his fists, and the six gods were masterless.

"Panic what! Come here, hold on here! Good...... Get ready...... Hard...... Flip over! ”

Signaling Baker to hold the back of the ploughing ox, Blang stood on the other side, bent down, and the two raised their hands together, using all their strength, their faces instantly turned red, and helped the ploughing ox with abdominal injuries up.

"Whew...... Call...... Luckily, I can still move ......."

After a few gentle pats, the two ploughing oxen walked slowly, and Brown breathed a long sigh of relief.

"But...... But ......" noticed the slow movements of the ploughing ox, the twitching muscles, and Baker's face turned pale: "This ...... This...... Fall off such a high bridge...... Fell so hard...... Can you still work......? ”

"Falling off the bridge? When to fall off the bridge? Brown turned his head suddenly, his eyes revealing fierceness: "You saw you fall off the bridge?" It was clearly two cows running around and crashing over the bridge! ”

Looking back at the ploughing cow again, Bron's tone became more stern: "What did the two bastards, Avilia and Freeman, feed the cow last night?" Inexplicably crazy! And knocked over the bridge! Wait a minute, you must tell the steward of Everett and settle the accounts for the neighbors! Dare to delay the summer service of the lord lord! ”

Knocked over a bridge?

"This ......," Baker's eyes widened.

"Didn't you hear me? Aviglia and Freeman, the bastards......" Brown read it again, his face full of righteous words, "all right...... You read it once. ”

"Avilia and Freeman, the bastards......" Baker quickly repeated, finally comprehending.

"Almost, don't forget...... Okay......"

"Let's go......" Looking at the cattle on the shore, and then at the steep slope of the two people, Brown shook his head: "You can't get through here, drive the cattle down, there is a shoal ...... below"

"What else to see!"

Noticing that Baker was still staring at the two ploughing oxen, Brown gave his son a heavy slap: "Don't hurry up yet!" The bells have rang twice, and they are still standing here in a daze! Do you want to delay your master's work too? ”

"Yes...... It's ......" with a huge slap print on his face, and Baker used his hands and feet to climb the bank of the stream.

"Alas...... It's a real worry......" Looking at his son's clumsy appearance, Brown shook his head again, drove the two wounded ploughing oxen, and went down the river to the shoal at the end of the sight.

At the same time, Wu Qingchen, who was hiding next to a few bushes with dense foliage, raised his eyes, let out a soft sneer.

Five minutes later, the staff officers, the military, the people ...... The onlookers who instantly increased from hundreds of millions to billions of onlookers, their faces nervous, fanatical, excited, and excited......

And......

A vicious sneer......

It's a little thicker.

46. Innocence (II)

"Smack......

The crushed branches bounced to the surface of the water, rippling in waves.

It doesn't make sense, when did there be so many trees here......

Wiping the splash from his face, Brown pushed away another dense branch that stretched across his face, almost endlessly.

The waterway is difficult to walk.

Rushing water, dense branches, entangled aquatic plants, hidden pits, huge stones......

Driving two wounded ploughing oxen from the site of the collapsed wooden bridge to the shallow waters of the stream took Brown far more time and physical strength than he had expected.

Call......

After a small bend, the stream smoothed out, and the shoal was in sight, and Brown let out a long sigh of relief.

"Bei...... Baker, ...... Come and help......"

"Yes, father...... Wait a minute, wait until I'm done with this ...... first."

Walking along the bank of the stream, Baker's speed was obviously much faster, and when Brown finally appeared around the corner, Baker was already standing on the side of the shallows, and was waving his cattle-driving stick, driving another ploughing ox across the shallows, joining the group of seven or eight ploughing oxen on the opposite side.

"Hurry up, time is running out......" Brown gasped heavily, nodded weakly, and pressed his knees as he watched Baker drive the ploughing oxen.

Well, it's okay...... It looks like it, and the stick is well shaken......

This is not good, the hand is raised too high......

Ah, yes, yes, I made it up when I changed sides...... Kindness...... The cow slowed down...... Much more honest...... Wait a minute...... Slowed down? …… Slowed down? ……

Are the cows slowing down? ……

No, what's wrong......

Brown frowned deeply, his eyes wandering from the ploughing cattle walking through the shallows to the direction of the herd on the right.

Stream...... Twig...... Plants...... Stones...... Earth...... Shrub...... Weed...... Red Seal ......

Red Seal?

Brown straightened up, his eyes wide.

That's right, it's a red seal......

Bright red hoof prints!

Rotten! Worst!

The next moment, Brown quickly opened his legs, and his rapidly moving body rolled up a large splash, "Baker! Wait a minute! ”

"What's wrong? Father ......" Baker turned his head with a suspicious expression and continued to wave his soft stick with his right hand.

"Stop! You idiot! ”

Seeing the ploughing cattle in the stream continue to move forward, and the speed was further slowing, Brown's voice became more anxious, "I told you to wait! Are you deaf! ”

Finally noticing Brown's fierce voice, Baker quickly stopped, his face full of confusion: "How...... What's wrong, father? ”

"What's wrong...... What's wrong...... You still know what's wrong! Walking to the shallows, Brown waved his right hand heavily, and the left side of Baker's face was marked with five distinct red marks.

"You idiot! Deaf! Blind! Get out of here, go ahead! Take off your shoes! Take a walk on your own and try what the hell is going on......"

Dazed and took off his wooden shoes, his buttocks were hit with a heavy kick, Baker involuntarily rushed into the shallows, staggered out a few steps, and just stood still, Baker's face immediately changed greatly, his bare feet stinged, he lowered his head, and there were a few obvious red splashes on the water.

Baker instantly understood the reason for his father's outburst.

Rotten! Worst!

There's a problem in the water!

"Yes...... However, isn't it okay to cross the river from here......"

"Idiot! Didn't you know that it rained so hard yesterday and in the morning? ”

Heavy rain! I actually forgot about this! Baker's face turned pale, and the torrential rain washed over the shores, swept away the mud and sand, and it was a shallow shoal, which was sure to leave a lot of sharp gravel......

But...... But...... It doesn't make sense! Even if it rained heavily overnight, when it was usually raining heavily, I had passed by here, and I had never encountered such a serious situation, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed it this time......

"What are you still standing for!" Brown's roaring voice woke Baker, "Why don't you hurry up and move the stones!" ”

Yes, yes, the most important thing now is to clear the stones......

Baker was instantly conscious, bent down quickly, and with his father, his hands and feet were very numerous, and they were very sharp, and their arms were soon drenched in blood.

Finally clearing the stream, the father and son ignored the bloody scars on their arms, and quickly ran to the side of the eight ploughing cattle that had crossed the river.

After only a few glances, Baker's face immediately turned from miserable white to snow-white.

Almost all of the hooves of the eight ploughing cattle that had crossed the river were injured and bleeding.

Seeing such a serious situation, Baker froze in place for an instant, as if he saw the iron face of Steward Ivett.

"Father...... This...... What to do? Is there enough hens and geese in the house......"

"Don't make a noise!" Squatting down to examine the hooves of the ploughing oxen, Brown pressed his head and looked extremely ugly.

The situation is not good.

The situation is very bad!

It's not like old William's cow had an accident, it's not like just now two ploughing oxen fell off the wooden bridge, and a full eight ploughing oxen were injured at the same time, no, a full eleven ploughing oxen were injured, almost half of the village's half and half ploughing oxen lost their ability to work at the same time, this is no longer a problem that hens and geese can solve.

"What to do...... What should I do......" Next to the anxious Baker, "Will you add the goats at home...... Last year, I finally added a few heads...... What to do......"

"Shut up! Don't talk about chickens, ducks, geese and sheep! It's summer service, and even if you count all the cattle in the family, it's not enough! ”

"Ahh This...... What can I do...... What to do......" Baker's legs instantly lost strength and fell to the ground.

"Shut up! Don't make any noise! Let me think about it, there must be a way...... There will definitely be a way! ”

Brown walked back and forth, muttering to himself, "Wilson's share is nearby, and the thorns are never cleared, and the thorn bushes on both sides grow very tall...... No, no, no...... Hanborn's house is in front, and there are quite a few puddles at the door, and this guy often doesn't close the door...... No, no, no...... Wolf found a honeycomb from the forest the other day, and it seemed to ......"

"When...... While...... When ......"

Just as Brown's head was racing, and he was thinking about giving the disaster away to the other villagers for free, a long bell rang from the village in the distance.

Worst! The third bell!

It's too late to think about it! The summer season is about to begin!

"Get up! Get up! Gragging Baker hard, Brown turned quickly, ran to the other side of the stream, swung his soft club, and drove the cattle across the shallows.

"Let's go! Idiot! Get up! Come on! ”

With a vigorous wave of his right hand, Brown threw the bull stick directly in the face of his stupid son, and then, together with his son, who had stood up in a hurry, still with a frightened face, the two of them gathered the oxen with their hands and feet, and hurried in the direction of the bell.

Don't panic...... Don't panic...... There must be a way......

There must be a way...... Now is not the time to think about that...... It's hard to walk here...... Don't think about it...... Don't think about it...... Walk through here carefully......

Don't think about it...... You can't think about it here...... But...... But...... Eleven ploughing oxen......

Between the two valleys, the narrow slope of the road, which was the most dangerous part of the road leading to the village, coincided with heavy rain, and the road was even more slippery, and Brown reminded himself not to be distracted, to concentrate, to be careful, but the more he thought about it, the more confused Brown's mind became, and all kinds of thoughts came flooding him.

Luckily, the trail was coming to an end, and there were no accidents along the way, and after turning a corner, you could immediately enter the hilly terrain.

Call......

Finally around the corner, Brown felt much more relaxed, and the chaotic thoughts in his mind dissipated a lot.

The wide avenue was in front of him, and Brown habitually exhaled a long breath, habitually grabbing the bush next to him with his left hand, and habitually shaking the soft rod with his right hand, his body habitually slightly to one side, and his head habitually slightly offset......

Grabbing the bushes, shaking off the soft rods, tilting his body slightly, and turning his head away, halfway through this extremely skillful action, Brown immediately appeared in front of his eyes, and an extremely familiar spacious avenue immediately appeared......

Large expanses of extremely familiar forest farmland......

A few familiar babbling streams......

A soft rattan that is also extremely familiar......

Cane? Wait, where is this rattan......

Something doesn't seem right!

Brown's eyes widened instantly, and he wanted to stop moving, but the inertia of the action, muscle memory, the subconscious of the mind, and the autonomy of the body...... And so on and so forth, which has helped Brown complete the entire process of the entire set of proficient movements.

"Brush!"

Before he could react, in an instant, Brown's neck tightened, his eyes darkened, and his breathing stagnant......

It doesn't make sense, shouldn't this rattan be a little above the head?

As soon as this thought was turned, Brown's body was already out of balance.

His feet were messy, his breath was poor, his neck ached, and the cowherd's hands naturally grabbed at his neck, his left hand pulled out a large mass of bushes, and the soft rod of his right hand slashed back and forth in the air, making one sharp sound after another.

A screeching sound?

Suddenly reacting, Brown struggled to open his blurred eyes, only to see that next to the steep slope of the mountain, several ploughing cattle that fell behind were repeatedly slapped again and again by the rapidly swinging cattle driving sticks, and the cultivated cattle who were accustomed to driving clashed fiercely with their tame instincts and self-preservation instincts in an instant, and they were violently restless next to the last short narrow ramp, and the hooves of several ploughing cattle had stepped on the edge of the steep slope......

Rotten! To be bad!

Brown was very anxious, and at the same time, with his right hand swinging vigorously, the soft rod he grasped had fallen again, and once again swept heavily into the bodies of the ploughing oxen......

No!

The cowherd quickly threw away the soft rod.

It's too late.

The final blow before throwing away the soft rod had already put the last straw on the fierce struggle between the "tame" and the "nature" of the ploughing oxen.

Grabbing the rattan with both hands, Brown, who finally stood firmly, breathed heavily, only to see two ploughing oxen rushing towards the steep slope, rushing all the way, bringing down the other eight or nine ploughing oxen next to him, and a series of wails and a series of earth-shattering sounds sounded next to the steep slope in an instant, and countless mud and water splashes instantly rose on the side of the hillside.

At the same moment, Brown only felt that his eyes were dark, his mind went blank for a moment, and the thought that had been circling back and forth before floated again: Oops! It seems that there is really no need to bother to find a reason this time......

"Father!" As he was in a stupor, Brown suddenly heard a loud rumbling sound in his ears, and a hoarse shout: "Be careful! Father! ”

What the?

Brown turned his head suddenly, and his pupils, which had been trying to contract, became smaller again!

Behind him, Baker also fell to the ground for some reason, and more than a dozen ploughing cattle suddenly went crazy and rushed in their direction along the narrow mountain road!

Sky!

Grabbing the rattan, Brown tore it with all his might, and the ploughing ox approached quickly, and when Brown finally freed his neck from the rattan, the high-speed ploughing ox was only a dozen steps away from Brown.

It's too late to run away!

With years of experience working with ploughing cattle, Brown stooped sharply, rolled over the momentum, and quickly avoided the side.

After only two rolls, Brown's tumbling castration suddenly stopped, and two stones that were not too tall happened to be against Brown's body.

It doesn't make sense! Isn't there supposed to be no stone here?

The ploughing ox was already close at hand, the thought quickly flashed through his mind, Brown tried his best to calm his mind, many years of experience in dealing with the ploughing ox, Brown did not choose to get up in the absolute time to avoid it, but pressed his hands and feet to the ground hard, ready to use the power of the earth to move flat from the top of the stone.

"Ahh

All of a sudden. Brown let out a scream, and his hands made countless tiny blood marks.

It doesn't make sense! When did thorns grow here!

In the next moment, Brown felt an extremely intense, intense, intense pain in his right hand and right foot, which was pressed on the ground......

Stepping on the arms and thighs that had worked hard to take care of him day and night, the first ploughing ox that ran wildly had already stepped on Mr. Cowherd's body.

"Ahh Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! ……”

Screaming violently, fiercely, and countless times stronger, the cowherd struggled to turn his head, and what filled his vision was a series of restless herds approaching at high speed.

When the pain became more and more intense, his consciousness became more and more blurred, and his eyes became darker and darker, only one last thought was left in Mr. Cowherd's mind, circling back and forth;

It doesn't make sense!
