Chapter 19: The Tiger and the Ghost Cow
When I looked closer, I realized that the person in red should be an older woman, because the red gown she was wearing had a triangular gap on the left and right sides. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn our case, only the cross-shirts worn by older women have such openings.
"It turned out to be an old man, how did you get here?"
I felt a little strange in my heart, but suddenly I remembered that Ullman had said that the rangers here often lived in the mountains with their families, and the rangers were all older, and the young people couldn't stand the loneliness, so I was relieved.
"The older ones are generally very kind and just ask for directions! If you can't do it, you can borrow it for a night! ”
Thinking of this, I felt a faint joy in my heart.
Seeing that there were still two steps to reach her, I opened my mouth, and just wanted to speak, but who knew that the old man actually staggered forward, and at the same time his mouth was still muttering: "Cow, cow come back, cow come back soon......"
She shouted and walked forward, probably very anxious, a pair of small feet walked fast, to my depression, I could only see the hair curls on the back of her head, but I could not catch up with her, and I could only hold back to my stomach when it came to my mouth!
At the same time, thinking that it was not easy for the elderly to feed a cow, and it was also a good way, so I followed, and I also wanted to help her find it.
Who knew that as I walked, the fog became thicker and thicker, and in the dark night, I could only see three or five steps, the mountain road, and a pine tree, and the old man was gone!
I was stunned and began to panic. Fortunately, the old woman's cry sounded again in the thick fog: "The cow is back!" The cows are back! ”
As long as it's still there!
When I heard this, my heart rejoiced, and I hurried after the voice. Somehow, the voice of only listening to her got farther and farther away, but I couldn't catch up. Gradually, the sound was gone!
I'm really panicking now! The heart is up and down!
At this moment, the dense fog in front of him suddenly rolled over, and then the sound of 'stamping' was heard, as if the hooves of a cow were stepping on the ground.
"Is it the old woman's cow?"
I was a little excited in my heart - the old cow knew the way, if I followed the old cow, I could find the old woman, and then borrow it for the night! With that in mind, I headed for the fog tumbling.
Through the rolling fog, there was suddenly no fog in front of me, and the field became open. However, I was startled by the sight of the grounds—there were two big cows on the field, one was the same big white cow; The other turned out to be a blue cow with a blue body.
I've never seen a cow of this color, so I can't help but take a few more looks. But the two cows seemed to have not noticed me, their heads were low, their tails were cocked, their horns were against each other, their hind hooves were kicking, and they were fighting! It's just that the two bulls have equal strength and are in a stalemate.
I thought that the blue cow might be the old woman's cow, and thinking of the old woman's anxious look, I picked up a stone from the ground and threw it far away.
I guess it was thrown at the blue bull, because after I had passed, the blue bull suddenly took two steps back, and then retreated one after another, and finally turned its head viciously towards me, and then swung its head, turned and ran up the hill.
The blue bull ran away, but the big white bull did not give up, but cocked his tail and chased after him. Of course, I chased after them, but I couldn't outrun the two cows, but fortunately, the sound of the cows' hooves was very clear, and although there was fog ahead, I could still hear them clearly.
After a while, the sound of cow hooves was gone, but because it was on the hillside, the fog became lighter, and you could faintly see the red light flashing in the halfway up the hill ahead.
The red light flickered, I guess it was the ranger's home, and most likely the old woman's home! So I ran quickly.
The light of the fire seemed far away, but it was very close, and after I had taken two steps, I saw an old house, all made of logs, and on the west side there was a low wooden shed, like a cowshed, from which a red light could be carved into the flames.
"Where there is light, there are people! This may be the old woman's home,......, why hasn't her cow come back yet? ”
I was a little puzzled, but more rejoicing, and as I walked briskly towards the house, I shouted, "Is there anyone?" Is there anyone in the house? ”
I asked knowingly, in fact, it was mainly to remind the people inside, but who knows, I shouted several times, but no one answered, "Isn't that old woman back yet?" I wondered as I knocked on the door.
I was stunned for a moment, and when I looked inside, there was only one table and two chairs, which were covered with dust.
On the east side of the house there is an old bed painted with black paint and a bright red quilt on the bed. On the north side of the bed, there is a dresser, which is dark red and antique, but there is no mirror on it. In front of the dresser was another chair, on which the old woman was sitting, her face facing the dresser and combing her hair with her hands.
Sleeping in her movements, you can see that the skin of her hands is dark and her fingernails are long.
"Auntie, auntie."
I raised my voice and shouted twice, and from what had just happened, he had neither heard my footsteps nor my shouts, and I guessed that she was old and deaf.
I shouted, one foot already in there, and thought to myself, if she couldn't hear, I'd try to come to her.
After taking a step forward, I looked into my head and saw that there was a wooden basin stand on the east side of the door, and a wooden basin on the basin rack. There was a mirror above the basin shelf, and nothing else.
After reading it, I was about to walk inside, and at this moment, the sound of "stomping" cow hooves suddenly sounded outside, "Auntie, your cow is back." Thinking of the anxious appearance of the old woman just now, I shouted again, but the old woman still did not respond.
"Looks like she's really deaf! I'll tie her cow first, lest she run away again!" ”
Thinking of this, I withdrew my foot that had been put in, and when I turned my head, I saw in the mirror that the old woman was slowly turning.
"What does this old woman look like?" I was stunned for a moment, feeling a little strange in my heart, after all, I had never seen the old woman's appearance from beginning to end!
And when I was stunned, the old woman had already turned her head, and I looked in the mirror, and suddenly my scalp exploded, and a cool air rushed from my back to the soles of my feet—in the mirror was a tiger face!
"Mom!"
I screamed in fear and ran out of the hut, knowing to myself that I had met an evil creature!
But as soon as I had run away, I almost peeed - the blue bull was running at me with its head down and against its horns, and it was already within reach!
"This blue cow must not be a good thing!"
I instantly understood in my heart, but only I felt a chill on my back, as if something had grabbed me on the shoulder......
"It's over!" There are cows in front of me and tigers in the back, and my heart is cool and cool.
But at this moment, a crisp bell rang with 'Jingle Bell', accompanied by the sound of drums of 'Ding Qiang Dong Qiang'.
As the drums sounded, I saw the blue bull stop all at once, and behind me there was a terrible tiger roar, and then there was no cold feeling on my shoulders.
I felt that the danger behind me should be solved, and I took a long breath and stood still, calming my flustered heart; But the blue bull in front of me made my already turbulent heart ...... again.
The sound of 'jingle bells' and 'dong dong choking' was like a net, a constricted net, and the blue bull was jumping on all fours in place, and its mouth was 'mooing', but it couldn't run out.
Finally, a pair of bull's eyes were aimed at me!
