Chapter 28: Turning Hostility into War (1)

There are 10 villages in the Guanghuailing area, including two large villages, one Lijia Village and one Chenjia Village.

Most of the villagers in Lijia Village are surnamed Li, and they regard Zhang Shaofei as the same clan and clan 500 years ago, and treat him like a brother, who cares more about him on weekdays, and everyone is like a brother.

Zhang Shaofei went up the mountain with the people in Lijia Village to collect firewood and dig medicinal herbs. Therefore, everyone liked him to come and help out.

During the day, he came down the mountain to help the villagers, and in the evening, with sweat covered in sweat, he climbed back to the eagle's beak rock at the top of the mountain.

In the deep barren mountains, most of the mountain people make a living by hunting, and often set nets in the places where animals are active.

When Zhang Shaofei saw a pheasant or something that fell into the hunter's net or was caught in an iron clip, he would quietly go to untie the net and let go of the prey.

Every time he eats, when Zhang Shaofei finds chicken in the pot, he only eats the vegetables in the sandwich.

Once, he was having dinner at a hunter's house named Li Yong, and Li Yong asked him, "Brother, why do you only eat vegetables and not meat?"

Li Yong's son Li Jinwu and daughter Li Jinlian also asked curiously, "Yes?" ”

Zhang Shaofei smiled and said to them: "This is my habit all along, I think eating vegetables is more beneficial to the body."

After they heard this, they looked at Zhang Shaofei in puzzlement, and thought: I don't know why I don't eat such fragrant chicken?

……

On this day, the bright sun shines on Guanghuai Ridge, and on the blue sky, the white clouds are floating with the wind, and everything looks vibrant. Li Jinlian faced the mountain breeze and came to the northern foot of Guanghuai Ridge to pick mushrooms, and suddenly heard the sharp screams of wild beasts coming from the valley.

When Li Jinlian heard this, she couldn't help but say: "This wailing sound came from the animal trap installed at home. ”

Li Jinlian hurriedly walked over there, only to see a bison caught in the wild grass at the valley with his right foot caught in the trap of a beast, and was struggling desperately.

"Ah, the trap that was installed in the mountains recently, and today I finally caught a bison." Li Jinlian couldn't help but be overjoyed.

She knew that she could not carry the bison back as a woman. No, I have to go home and ask my brother and my father to come together. So, she hurried home.

At this time, Zhang Shaofei was on the hillside not far away, heard the wailing of animals, he knew that something had happened, listened carefully for a while, identified the direction of the call, and followed the sound to find it, and saw that the right foot of a bison was caught in the trap of the beast, and a lot of blood was shed, and the trap and the grass were dyed red.

Zhang Shaofei carefully inspected and found that the bison was also hit by an arrow.

When Zhang Shaofei hesitated, suddenly a little bison with light yellow fur and childish spirit stumbled from there, came to the bison trapped in the trap, turned around anxiously, and then got under the belly of the big bison and sucked milk.

Zhang Shaofei couldn't help but say: "Ah, they are mother and son!" ”

When the cow saw her child coming, her motherly love made her stand strong and let the calf suck her milk, regardless of the pain she suffered.

When it noticed that there was some movement on Zhang Shaofei's side, it raised its head, looked at Zhang Shaofei, and called at him softly. Its gaze and cry were full of pleading.

The calf also seemed to have spotted Zhang Shaofei, but they did not abandon their mother in panic and run away, but continued to eat their mother's milk as always.

"Ah, what a wretched mother and son!" Zhang Shaofei was deeply moved by the affectionate licking of calves between the bison mother and son, felt an itch in his throat, his eyes kept blinking, and a layer of tears soon covered his eyes.

Faced with this situation, Zhang Shaofei's heart was churning: if this cow is caught by the hunter and killed and cooked, even if this poor calf escapes, it will also lose its mother, mother's love, and the opportunity to breastfeed, that is to say, it will lose the ability to survive, and in the end they can only be a dead end, this is a tragedy of "one corpse and two lives"!

Zhang Shaofei couldn't stop the impulse in his heart, hurriedly stepped forward, and squatted down beside the cow.

Seeing that Zhang Shaofei had no ill will towards their mother and son, the calf retreated a few steps back, and kept stomping his feet in fear beside him.

Zhang Shaofei pulled its right foot out of its sharp teeth, then pulled out the sharp arrow from the cow's body, threw it on the ground, caressed the cow's body in a friendly way, and said to it: "You hurry up and run away with the child." ”

The cow knew from Zhang Shaofei's series of actions just now that the young man had come to rescue him, and at this moment he seemed to understand Zhang Shaofei's words, looked at him with grateful eyes, and nodded lightly at him, and wanted to leave, but it staggered forward and only took a few steps, its body tilted to the side, it was unsteady on its feet, and it fell to the ground.

Zhang Shaofei saw that the cow's two wounds were still bleeding, and knew that it was not lightly injured. Even if it can walk away, if it can't stop bleeding, it will slowly bleed too much and die in the mountains.

"No, the priority is to inject blood into the wounds of this cow!" Zhang Shaofei stood on tiptoe, looked around, searching, saw that there were no mountain herbs nearby that could stop the bleeding, thought about it, remembered that he had picked hemostatic mountain herbs by the mountain stream not far from here, so he raised his finger and pointed to the side of the mountain stream, and said to the cow: "Don't be afraid, I will take you over there and collect medicine for you to stop the bleeding." With that, he squatted down, picked up the wounded cow with all his might, and walked towards the mountain stream.

The calftail followed its mother out of the dangerous place that nearly cost her mother's life.

The sun rises in the middle of the sky, the mountain wind is blowing, and the sound of the surrounding forest waves is high and low.

Not long after Zhang Shaofei left with his cow in his arms, a group of hunters hurriedly ran towards this direction, they were Chen Tianbao, a hunter from Chenjia Village, and his group of brothers.

The arrow in the cow was shot by Chen Tianbao.

Chen Tianbao They hunted in the mountains, wandered for a long time, and found a bison walking in the bushes in the distance, so they quietly touched forward, pulled the bow and arrows, and shot at the target, when the sharp arrows flew past, they heard the wailing of the bison, and they knew that the arrow had been hit.

Chen Tianbao led the people of Chenjia Village to chase after the bloodstains left by the bison when they fled, and chased them until they reached the barren grass on the small hill, and saw a large pool of blood on the ground, but there was no trace of the bison.

Chen Tianbao's younger brother Chen Tianxiao found an arrow in the barren grass, picked it up and looked at it, and said in a positive tone: "Brother Leopard, this is your arrow!" ”

Chen Tianbao took the sharp arrow and took a look: indeed, this is the arrow he shot just now, and the bright red blood stains on the arrow have not yet dried, so he shook the sharp arrow and said to Chen Tianxiao: "Brother, after I shot this arrow just now, I obviously heard a scream from the wild bull behind the bushes in the distance, and then I saw it desperately running towards this side. Now there was undried blood on the arrow, and it was clear that my arrow had hit the buffalo. ”

Chen Tianbao was thinking about it, and suddenly, he saw a guy in the grass, stepped forward to take a look, and couldn't help shouting: "Ah, the trap!" ”

Chen Tianxiao lowered his head to identify for a while, and found that the trap was engraved with the word "Li", so he pointed to the trap and said, "There is a character Li on it." ”

Chen Tianbao asked, "You didn't see the wrong eye, right?" ”

Chen Tianxiao said with certainty: "I dare to guarantee that I will not be mistaken, except for the people of Lijia Village in this vicinity, no one else will install animal traps here." ”

Someone in Chenjia Village made a judgment: "In this way, the bison must have been taken away by the people of Lijia Village." ”

The corners of Chen Tianbao's mouth showed a contemptuous look, "Hmph! It's from Lijia Village again! They actually want to get something for nothing in the hands of Lao Tzu, it's not so cheap! Chen Tianbao vented the resentment in his heart, "They are shaving our eyebrows in this way." ”

The people next to him also coaxed: "Yes, the people of Lijia Village are really deceitful to do this!" ”

"We can't stop there!"

"Ask them to return the bison we hunted!"

Facing everyone's indignant emotions, Chen Tianbao made up his mind, and his voice was like thunder: "The grievances and grievances with them in the past must be settled with them face to face today!" ”
