Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Glen
The cliffs are towering, and the valley is quiet. On the one hand, the fruit trees are all over the field, and the fragrant fragrance is fragrant, and on the other hand, the mountains are full of green grass, and the flowers are dotted. A clear spring rushes down the cliff, crashes against the rocks and makes a gurgling sound of water, and falls into the valley to form a small stream, which flows slowly.
Three months ago, the Black Bull carried him here. This seems to be the habitat of the black bull, and when it arrives, it throws him to the ground and ignores him. Fortunately, there was some fruit in this place, so that he did not go hungry.
The day before yesterday, the old cow left alone, and after half an hour's effort, he brought back a few dead beasts in front of him, while he flicked his tail and graze.
There is game, but unfortunately there is no fire, and the boss is reluctant to gnaw on this raw meat field. Therefore, he found two pieces of dry wood and rubbed them together, and the old cow looked at him strangely, but he did not make any movement for two days, and the old cow left bored with his tail flicking. Tian Xiang was sleepy and his hands hurt, so he threw two pieces of dry wood in the distance, and muttered, "Liar!"
Then, he pouted his ass and knocked on the rocks at the foot of the cliff, knocking almost every piece throughout, and some of them were even smashed into potholes. He knocked for more than ten days in a row, and the old cow was still interested in his actions, followed him to watch the excitement, and then grinned disdainfully, and finally was mad by the sound of him smashing stones, mooing and kicking his ass. Finally one day, Tian Xiang jumped up excitedly, hugged a stone and turned his head on the grass, causing the old cow to grin.
Afterwards, Tian Xiang found some hay and dead branches in the mountains and piled them together, holding the fast stones and smashing them around. A black smoke ignited, followed by a faint flame. Tian Xiang pouted his buttocks and stretched out his little hands to protect them, carefully putting hay on the fire. The old cow, who was originally dismissive on the sidelines, was also shocked, it was surprising that a baby could make this thing. It walked slowly to it, cautiously poked its head to look, and accidentally caught its breath, and the haystack suddenly shattered, and the freshly lit fire was extinguished instantly.
Tian Xiang tilted his little head and stared at it, "Black Bull, did you do it on purpose?" During this time, Lao Niu talked with him without a match, he nodded indiscriminately at first, but after a long time, he understood a lot. Although he is not very fluent in speaking, it is enough to communicate with Lao Niu.
The old cow grinned and nodded, and took a few steps back. Tian Xiang made a small face, "Later!" Lao Niu still had the same expression, and took a few steps back.
Tian Xiang glared at him, put the dead grass back into a pile, and smashed it one by one while holding the stones. Sparks rose in all directions, and with a bang, the dead grass ignited again. The old cow stared at the flames, and then stared at Tian Xiang with admiration for a long time.
Tian Xiang pouted his butt while carefully holding the dead branches, and said to himself: "I can finally eat cooked meat." As he spoke, he turned his head to the black cow and asked, "Black bull, do you eat meat?" After asking, even he smiled himself, and muttered while burning the fire, "You black cow is an honest man, I can't take you badly, let's continue to eat grass." ”
When the fire grew, he smashed the fast beast meat rack with a sharp stone and grilled it on the fire, and after a while, the aroma was overflowing, and the greedy Tian Xiang drooled, and even the old cow on the side pricked his mouth a few times. Tian Xiang tore off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, and sighed with enjoyment while chewing: "It's so fragrant!" he glanced at the old cow, "Black Niu, you want to have a piece too?"
"It's not delicious, is it?" said the old cow, but his body moved forward and poked his mouth in front of Tian Xiang, and a pair of bull's eyes did not leave the beast meat on the fire at all.
Tian Xiang tore off a large piece and handed it to the old cow's mouth, "You taste it, it's very fragrant!" said and stuffed it into the old cow's mouth. The old cow chewed for a long time, and spit it out, "It's unpalatable!" After speaking, he stood up lazily, walked to the grass in the distance, raised his front hooves and sat down with his eyes closed.
Tian Xiang chuckled for a while and teased, "Black Bull, you almost broke the muddy ring." Saying that, Mougins felt that this strange move of the black bull seemed to have some deep meaning. His heart moved: Could it be that the black bull is sitting cross-legged like this is a method of cultivation? He thought for a while and shook his head unconsciously.
When the sun sets, the smoke in the air is dazzling, reflecting a cow and a person in the lonely valley, outlining a different kind of painting.
A boulder protrudes from the foot of the cliff, two or three feet above the ground, and Tian Xiang relies on this boulder to shelter from the wind and rain during this time. Tian Xiang moved the dry grass and dead branches to a boulder at the foot of the cliff, and then carefully moved the fire to the inside, and then stored the remaining animal meat in the innermost. After the settlement, lie comfortably on the dry grass and wait for the night to come. For many days, it was dark at night, and although he could see things four or five meters away in the night, it was always not very pleasant. It wasn't until today that I finally lit a fire, and I feel extremely happy to think about it.
The last remnant of the sun sank, and the whole valley gradually dimmed.
"Hei Niu, how long are you going to sit there?" Tian Xiang shouted at Lao Niu. In the past, every night, the old cow would lie next to the boulder, blocking the mountain wind for Tian Xiang, but today the old cow did not move in the distance, which made him not very accustomed to it. What's more, the flames blown by the mountain wind are scattered and swaying, and it seems that they will be extinguished at any time.
"Something's coming!" said the old cow in a low voice, slowly approaching the boulder.
Tian Xiang was shocked, and hurriedly extinguished the fire, and it was dark in an instant. Then, he turned and pulled out a sharp animal bone from the haystack and held it in his hand. The bones of the beast were dug up from the unknown dead beasts brought back by the old cow a few days ago, and one of them was held in animal skins and kept hiding under the dry grass beside him as a self-defense. When he hid this animal bone, the old cow looked at him in surprise for a long time, and he couldn't imagine that the baby in front of him was so old.
At this moment, a strange sound, like a cry, broke the silence, and something flickered between the cliffs in the distance, and it was rushing through it.
Tian Xiang was frightened, clutched the beast bones, and leaned against the deepest corner. At this time, the old cow was already standing next to the boulder.
The sound grew farther and farther away, and it didn't seem to be coming for them. Tian Xianggang breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear Lao Niu suppress his voice and say, "Could it be that something legendary has appeared?"
"What is it?" Tian Xiang asked with a glare.
"I'll take a look!" After speaking, the old cow actually ran in the direction of the flickering light.
"Take me with you!" Tian Xiang chased out and shouted.
However, the old cow was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was nearly two miles away, "Stay here and wait for me!" the old cow shouted as he galloped rapidly. Tian Xiang, who was in a hurry, stomped his feet again and again behind him and scolded: "Stupid cow!"
The thing that had been flickering suddenly emitted a blinding light, illuminating half of the cliff, and then completely extinguished in an instant. The strange sound soon stopped, and only the sound of the black bull galloping echoed through the valley.
Oh!
Suddenly, there was a deafening roar of a beast.
Bang!
The sound of violent collision came from the direction where the old cow was running. Tian Xiang was shocked: Did the black bull meet the fierce beast?
Before he could come back to his senses, the sound of a fight in that direction suddenly sounded. Tian Xiang was anxious in his heart, clutching the beast bones and not knowing whether to go and investigate.
