What I didn't expect was that when I was loaded with a cart of dung and returned to the cross street, there was a sudden crackling sound of firecrackers, and the cow was frightened and jumped wildly, and the cow was flustered and couldn't grasp it, not good, the cart of dung was overturned, and the yellow and viscous dung water leaked out of the car body and flowed on the street stinking.

So, a group of people came around and yelled at Niu Zhitu, dog, you quickly sweep away the dung water splashed on the street, otherwise, Lao Tzu is welcome. There is more than one fight, it is a gang, and some of them clench their fists violently; Some grinned and swore constantly.

Niu Zhitu saw that the momentum was not right, buried his head and did not squeak, he found that he also had dirty dung water splashed on his body, so he was very angry with Hua Niu. He also found out what was going on with the firecrackers just now, it was a long funeral procession, and it was going to pass through this cross street.

Seeing that the dung car overturned and blocked the way, the "eight carryers" with white yarns on their sleeves stopped the coffin they were carrying. A resident on the street came with a broom and a bucket of water to clean and wash off the dirt that overflowed on the street. When he got closer, he saw the driver beating the cow with a bamboo tip, and it blinked its eyes and stomped its feet, but it did not break the rope that tied its nose.

When the resident saw this, he shouted to the driver, "Why are you fighting a cow, can you solve the problem?" Quickly move the manure truck, and I'll help you clean up the streets, so that the mourners can pass. At this time, Niu Zhitu didn't fight the bull, but nodded again and again, and began to act according to what the resident said.

After a while, the ox cart was removed, the dung on the street was cleaned a little, and the queue of "Eight Carrying Halls" carrying the coffin out of the funeral walked over. Niu Zhitu turned around the ox cart containing dung lonely, and then rushed to the city gate with a manure tank, because the remaining dung was only half a car, Niujiazhuang was so far away from the county seat, and it was not cost-effective to drag half a car of dung back, and people would laugh at it.

The ox cart rushed to the gate of the city, and the old man asked the reason, and the ox explained it clearly, hoping to arouse sympathy, and sent him some dung to fill the stall. But the old man said, "What does this matter to me?" It's not me who spilled your dung truck, you scoop up the dung again, at least give a penny.

Helpless, Niu Zhitu had no choice but to meet his request. In this way, he should earn three hangs of money for dragging a cart of dung, but there are only two hangings left. He vented all his anger on Hua Niu, and sometimes slapped him coldly on the road, so that Hua Niu was always nervously shivering. He couldn't beat him hard, otherwise, the cow would jump too fast and too hard, and he would knock over the car and repeat the unimaginable mistake.

After a lot of twists and turns, a cart of dung was finally pulled back to Niujiazhuang. It was getting late, and a piece of afterglow was sprinkled on the field and on the body of the flower cow. Niu Zhitu parked the dung cart and led the cow to the side, his resentment has not been eliminated, holding the cow rope, still pumping it hard, it can't run off, the four legs are upside down, the front left leg seems to be a little crutched, Niu Zhitu retracts the bamboo branch and no longer whips.

He squatted down and took a closer look, and Hua Niu's leg broke through the hoof shell, soaked in blood, like a human and animal, and it would hurt if he was injured. He was a little nervous, worried that Niu Dali would tear his skin when he found out.

took the initiative to find Niu Dali, in addition to giving the cow's foot strength money, but also gave a cart of dung that day. Niu Dali was a little puzzled, and Niu Zhitu simply pointed to Hua Niu's left leg that was a little crutched and said the reason for the plea.

In the twilight, Niu Dali couldn't see clearly, and he didn't pay attention to see that there was something wrong with Hua Niu's walking, and when he saw Niu Zhitu say this, he looked at Hua Niu carefully, and sure enough, he saw the problem, frowned and said, can't you forget it like this? It's good to hand over my flower cow to you, and now you're being tortured like this, what do you say? Niu Zhitu said, there is no way, I don't need your flower cow to pull the cart anymore.

No, you'll have to heal Hua Niu's foot and give it to me. Niu Dali did not give up, saying that I don't want the money you give, nor do you want the cart of dung you sent, you do as I say. He didn't return the money he had just received to Niu Zhitu for the money he had just received for the cart pulled by the ox. Niu Zhitu said, it doesn't matter if you don't return the foot strength money, it is my responsibility to spend a little bit of Niu's foot injury. Well, I'll ask a veterinarian to take a look.

Okay, you cure Hua Niu, and then bring it to me. Niu vigorously walked away with his hands behind his back.

The next day, Niu Zhitu led the flower cow to Niu Dali to see, its feet were not crutches, why did it get better so quickly? Niu Dali didn't believe his eyes, and looked closely at the feet of the cow, and its front and back feet were equipped with iron armor to protect its feet and hooves. Niu Zhitu said, I found a veterinarian, put a little medicine on Hua Niu's injured leg, and then put iron armor on all four of its feet, so that it would not hurt its hooves when walking and pulling a cart in the future. Niu Zhitu also wanted to use this flower ox to pull the cart, but before he could open his mouth, Niu Dali found out his intention and clearly refused.

Later, Niu Dali himself drove the flower cow into the county town to pull dung, every day uninterrupted, the flower cow was tired and panting, often pulled to the halfway kneeling down, Niu Dali saw that it was installed with iron armor of the four hooves and no damage, so he whipped and beat hard, more ruthless than Niu Zhitu, because Niu Zhitu was a little wary after all, if the cow was beaten, there was a blood mark, and it was not easy to explain when he saw the master. Niu Dali doesn't have this worry, anyway, the cow is his own, and he has no scruples about whipping it.

At this moment, Hua Niu was in pain, rubbed his two front hooves on the ground a few times, and stood up again. Niu scolded vigorously, do you want to die? You are the life of pulling the cart, if you don't pull the cart, it is strange if you don't kill you and eat meat? Hua Niu listened to it, buried his head in melancholy, and struggled forward with the shaking of the whip.

In fact, this is destroying Hua Niu's body, Niu Dali has not seen it, and he does not pay attention to it, Hua Niu is indeed not lazy, it is really helpless. The reason for this is that Niu Dali didn't realize that not only did he not let Hua Niu have a good rest, but more importantly, his eating disorders, such as pulling a cart against the hot sun, and wanting to drink water when he was dry, Hua Niu couldn't say it, but Niu Dali couldn't think about it.

Sometimes the cart approached the pond on the side of the road, the cow stretched its neck to look at the water, the cow thought it was strong, pulled the rope hard, a whip pulled, the cow was in pain, and reluctantly gave up the opportunity to drink water to quench his thirst. Hua Niu is a dumb-mouthed animal, and it is worse to encounter a cow to drive vigorously than a cow to know the way.

The days pass so fast, the ox vigorously drives the flower cow to pull the cart for more than half a year, seeing that it has entered the winter, in a snowy night, the cow vigorously drives the flower cow to pull a cart of dung back, the sky is already so dark that you can't see your fingers, only the floating snow powder exudes a faint light, the light is not enough to illuminate the outline of the road.

Niu Dali drove Hua Niu slowly with experience and impression, and he didn't dare to whip indiscriminately, mainly because he was worried that the dung truck would splash on the road. Back to Niujiazhuang, pull the manure truck to the side of the manure tank, pull the car baffle, pry the handlebar, and the manure water in the car stall is poured into the manure tank.

Niu Dali can no longer smell the smell, and the nose of long-term dung is oxidized by the smell. After this matter was over, he led the cow into the bullpen, because the cow was tired and walked slowly, he turned around and whipped it violently, and scolded, damn beast, walking like a plague god, don't make Lao Tzu anxious into tuberculosis.

Scolding and scolding, this flower cow still has a purpose, and it has to be taken care of. He suddenly remembered that he had just gone into the bullpen and forgot to see if there was any forage, and if there was none, he had to continue it. He turned to look again, and it was dark inside, and he couldn't see clearly, so he raised his feet and probed on the ground, and it was empty, and only a small amount of grass could not meet the needs of the flower cow to wrap its belly.

So he went out of the bullpen to the hay house and threw a bundle of straw into it, and threw it in front of the oxen. He looked with his feet and saw that the beast was lying on the ground, and he could not hear it chewing grass. Whatever, it will always eat when it is hungry.

Niu Dali left calmly as usual, it was already white outside, and the north wind was whistling and rolling up snowflakes on his body, as if he was deliberately creating a depressed atmosphere, which made him feel an inexplicable sense of loss.
