Chapter 14: The Return of the Cowman
Unexpectedly, Uncle Cow Dung was not punished by the law, because the snail said it was an accident. Uncle Cow Dung smashed the fart man by accident, and the death of the fart man was inevitable. Amazingly, Uncle Cow Dung was not only not condemned by the villagers, but also received an unusual welcome. Because, people have lived in this world for thousands of years, and they have only seen cows, but they have not touched cows, ridden cows, and even cows will greet the villagers: "Hello everyone, I am a cow." ”
Uncle Cow Dung tells the big guy about his experience after his disappearance, and Birdman keeps following the report, and he thinks Uncle Cow Dung's experience can allow him to write a fantastical story.
At the birdman's repeated requests, Uncle Cow Dung agreed to the birdman's request and told the story of his disappearance alone.
I was very uncomfortable that day, it was quite uncomfortable, and suddenly, a cow fell from the sky, and I was amazed. Later, the cow spoke to me, which amazed me even more.
The cow said to me, "I'm the cow that always poops on you." ”
I poured out my bitter grievances for many years: "It turns out that it was your stinky cow that defiled my life, do you know? My youth, my future, and my world have been ruined by your cow dung, do you know what my original name was? My name is Hua Meinan, and now what? Uncle Cow Dung." You turned a beautiful man into cow dung, you know?"
Niu also began to complain: "I'm sorry, it's all my bad life, we cows are very single-minded all our lives, fixed life rules, fixed partners, fixed toilets." My first bubble of landed on you, so you're my mobile toilet. What's even more tragic is that my cow can't hold its feces and urine, so I roam over your head almost every day in the sky. I've also lost a lot, and my life as a cow is all about living for you alone. You don't have to worry about it anymore, now I'm suffering from severe constipation and I'm going to die soon. ”
"Well deserved!" I spat on the cow.
"I'm going to die, as the saying goes, the ox is going to die, and his words are good. In this way, I will fulfill both of your wishes, and I will be my compensation to you. ”
I thought about it for a long time and said, "I want to go to heaven and see the wider world outside." ”
So the cow said yes to me.
The world was so amazing, and there was a huge amount of cow dung piled up on the white clouds. The cow dung is covered with grass, and it looks like a small grassland. And it's especially cold in the sky.
"Then why didn't the cow die?"
"When it saw me, it was cured of constipation. To repay me, he decided to be my mount. Take me to the sky and to the ground. ”
The birdman then asked, "What do you eat in the heavens, and don't the cows treat you?"
"Cows don't know how to cook, so I eat cow dung! ”
"Any other anecdotes?"
"It's gone. ”
"And what about your second wish?"
"I just want to know whose baby is in my daughter's womb?"
"Whose is it?"
"I can't say anything to you. Birdman, but I'd like to hire you to teach the kids simple notation. How about giving you a pig a year?"
"There is such a good thing, of course I would like to. ”
In the following days, the birdman wanted to follow the secret of cauliflower's pregnancy, but he didn't expect that Uncle Cow Dung was very busy, riding a cow around every day to give speeches, and he persuaded people to have fewer children and raise more pigs, because the world is too small, and there are more and more people, and the world will be full, and I am afraid that there will be no land to grow food. He also advised people to plant more trees, otherwise the trees would be gone, and it would be dangerous in the event of an avalanche. And it's not good for the environment, so it doesn't use endangered animals to survive. He also advocated for developmental education so that all children could learn to recognize symbols for free. And he was going to form an expedition to dig a tunnel in a cave in the mountains, and he said that when he rode his ox in the sky, he looked out at the outside world, and the outside world was a big universe, very vast. If the tunnel is opened, we can get out of this small world and have children at will, as many children as we want.
All proposals were adopted only for the development of education. The snail provides a mobile teaching room, the birdman has a new profession, and when the children see the birdman, they call it candy, and the birdman tells them that they should call him teacher. Birdman uses his story as a teaching material for children to read in order to recognize and memorize so many symbols. During the break, Birdman also asked the children to help him and study paper-making techniques together.
Uncle Cow Dung believes that the future of the world depends on children, and for this reason, he also teaches children to make iron ore, forge tools, and do carpentry work, not only teaching skills, but also ideological education. He ordered the children to recite a phrase every day: "Have fewer children, cut down fewer trees, come from many fields, and raise more pigs." ”
The Birdman once suggested to Uncle Dung: "Why don't you let the cows fly us out?"
"Cows can only fly above the clouds, and the mountains that besiege the world all around them have crossed the clouds. "There is no support from the villagers, so Uncle Cow Dung often goes alone to the caves in the mountains to investigate.
I heard that Uncle Cow Dung fell from the sky, and Old Man Li often came with wine and rode a pig, and every time he came to look for the birdman, he first asked when he saw the birdman: "Where is the cow dung?"
"Uncle Cow Dung went to the mountains. What are you looking for him?" The birdman asked Old Man Li rhetorically.
"I want to trade all my pigs for his cow. ”
"You want to fly to the sky, too?"
When Old Man Li was drunk, he would smile and say, "Yes, I want to fly to the sky to see my woman." ”
"That woman of yours also flew away on a cow?"
"She didn't die, I watched her fly away on a cow that day. But if I say this, no one will believe it. I could only lie and say that she was sick and dead. I'd like to ask cow dung, have you ever seen her in the sky?"
"Probably not, if he saw it, he would have told me. ”
