051. Re-do the cow
Xiao Jiuzai carefully inspected the cow, the cow teeth, the nose, the belly, the tail, the hooves, and even the cow jiri and eggs, and then looked up and said very suspiciously: "It doesn't seem to be someone's cow, is it a bison in the mountains?"
Such a healthy cow was also a lot of wealth at that time, and the owner's family would generally mark it, and it would be easy to identify and find it in case it was lost, such as the notch on the cow's ears, the unique brand on the cow's shoulder or cow's buttocks. But there were no traces of the cow on it www.biquge.info it didn't look like a domestic animal.
Tailuo stepped forward and said: "Childe, be careful, if you really don't have a family, you will be pushed up if you don't get it." ”
Xiao Jiu: "No, I think it's pretty well-behaved!" This tone is almost like talking about kittens and puppies, and the cow's expression seems to be quite reluctant, but it still barks softly very cooperatively, and it seems to understand.
Tailuo leaned over and looked at the bull's nose and said, "The adult bull has no traces of passing through the nose ring, and it really doesn't look like a domestic." ”
Xiao Jiu: "I have already checked the nose of the cow just now, and it is true that it has not been crossed, do you say that there are bison in the mountains in this area?"
The green bull muttered in his heart: "I also wore the nose ring back then, and the later nose ring is still an artifact! "But at this moment, the old man has instructed that if he says that a bison should be a bison, it can't refute it.
Tailuo groaned: "In the mountains and wilderness in this area, I have never heard of a bison. But if you go further into the mountains, you may not be able to do it. This place is at the junction of Luliang Mountain and Yin Mountain, and then north is the great wilderness, there are many birds and beasts in the steep and deep mountains, it is said that there are also the king of the wilderness entrenched in ancient times, and the demons are infested. ”
Xiao Jiu: "So did it run out of the mountains?"
Tailuo: "I haven't seen what a bison looks like, but it feels like a domestic cow, but there is a possibility that it is a calf that has been lost since childhood, ran to the mountains, grew up in the mountains, and now runs down the mountain." I was lucky not to be eaten by the beasts in the mountains. ”
Xiao Jiu's eyes lit up: "According to the etiquette and tribal rules, if it is really an ownerless beast, what is the point of paying attention?"
Tailuo: "It is equivalent to the prey, whoever gets it will own it." If it is in anyone's private land, it is equivalent to the treasure of the master. ”
Xiao Jiu clapped his hands and said, "It appeared here, and we have already bought this land." ”
Tailuo was also very happy, and smiled happily: "Childe really has what he says, if this cow has no owner and appears here, it will be yours." After thinking about it, he said, "If the wild animals that grew up in the mountains still need to be domesticated, we must first find a way to get them back." ”
Xiao Jiu seemed to suddenly remember something, stepped forward to check the cow again, and finally picked up the cow's ears, looked left and right and looked inside for a long time. Qingniu was furious in his heart when he saw it, this little eye was too sharp, and he didn't let go of anything on his body, and now he was pulling his ears and looking inside like this, who wouldn't be stunned?
But Qingniu couldn't help it, he still stood there honestly and let Xiao Jiu look at his ears, and even Tailuo next to him was amazed, thinking that this cow was really docile in front of Xiao Jiu.
Xiao Jiu remembered what the mysterious man in Ge Yi said, a master is a master, could it be that he had expected today's events a long time ago? He was looking for Bai Hao inside and outside the cow's ears, but unfortunately he didn't find it.
Xiao Jiu pulled another handful of tender grass, put it in front of the green cow's mouth, patted the cow's back and said, "Can you go back with me?" I will build a shed for you to live in, you can hide from the wind and rain, and you can feed you when there is no food in the wild, you just need to help me do some work." Wandering in the mountains like you, if you don't get it, you will die in the mouth of a fierce beast, and you may be caught by the bad guys and killed for meat......"
Tailuo couldn't help but laugh dumbly, Xiao Jiu is a child's temper after all, and he can talk so vigorously with a beast, and that beast can't understand human words. As if he really understood, the green cow nodded and barked softly, stretching out his nose to inhale the taste of the tender grass. Xiao Jiu grabbed the grass and teased the green cow and walked down the mountain, and the green cow followed behind him.
In this way, the master and servant took the green ox back, and met a neighbor on the way. Someone asked, "Where did such a beautiful healthy cow come from?"
Before Xiao Jiu could answer, Tailuo spoke first: "We also bought a piece of land in the mountains, and we bought a cow to open up the wasteland." ”
When he returned to the courtyard, Tailuo summoned the farmers of the grange to talk about the new mountain fields, and assigned the tasks of each family, and organized people to build a cowshed in the front yard, and placed this "strange cow" here, and there was an ox cart next to it. In fact, there are cows and carts in the other courtyard, but the cattle are placed in the farmers to shepherd and plough the fields, and Xiao Jiu doesn't need to take the car when he goes out on weekdays.
Now that he has a new healthy cow, the son has a car to sit on, but this cow also has to plow the mountain fields. Now that the land has not been opened up, and the houses have not been built, so the cattle will be kept in a separate yard for the time being.
In the evening, the boy servant who was in charge of taking care of the green cow came again to report that the cow that Gongzi had brought back did not eat or drink, and the boy servant did not know what to do. The green cow seemed to be led down the mountain by a handful of tender grass in Xiao Jiu's hand, but along the way it was just making a show and smelling the smell of the grass, but in fact, it didn't eat a bite, and it was the same after arriving at the other courtyard.
The green ox lay on its stomach in a makeshift shed, and in front of it was a stone-hewn trough with a little dusty hay, and beside it was a broken clay pot with a missing mouth, which contained water. The watery cow's eyes blinked, and it felt very aggrieved.
Qingniu's grievances are also normal, if you talk about cultivation, it can also be regarded as a demon king in the realm, where is it not a well-known big man? Back then, he pulled a car for Dayu and made contributions to the world's water control, as a fairy palace gatekeeper, the mount of the Taishang Lord, all the friends are immortal characters from heaven and earth, how did he come here to suffer such grievances?
This water comes from a ditch, not pure dew; is this grass scorched and coarse, is it something to eat? And it can no longer be eaten! At this moment, the voice of the old man suddenly sounded in his head: "Qingniu, have you forgotten your beginning? Being tempered by this worldly event in the world is exactly what you have been able to prove. What if you can't even do this little thing, what can you call it a great power? You will finally know in the coming day, what kind of fate this is!"
Qingniu is most afraid of this voice, and the most convinced is also this voice, immediately lowered his head, not only looked honest, but also really began to be a cow again. At this time, Xiao Jiu walked into the yard and said: "This is a wild cow that drinks clear springs and eats young shoots, you can change some tender grass, and then fry some beans and mix it in, all the food including water must be cleaned, let me feed it and try it." ”
Fried beans to feed the cows? That's the treatment only available to nobles and horses on the battlefield, but since the prince ordered it, Tailuo let the boy servants do it. changed the clean and tender forage, mixed a handful of freshly fried beans, brushed the trough and clay pot, and brought clean drinking water, so that Xiao Jiugongzi could feed the cattle in person.
In the next scene, I saw that the eyes of several child servants were straight, and they secretly said in their hearts that the son was the son, which was really a god. Xiao Jiu grabbed a handful of fried beans and put them in front of Qingniu's mouth, and Qingniu stretched out his tongue to lick the beans from the palm of his hand and eat them. Xiao Jiu's hand gently patted the cow's head again, and the cow actually lowered his head to drink water. Next, there is no need for Xiao Jiu to feed it by hand, and the cow has already begun to eat and drink normally.
It seems that there are noble people in people, and there are noble cows in cows, and noble cattle only serve noble people, or people have strange people, and strange people have strange cows, and strange people have strange cows. This is the sigh of the onlookers, but they don't know that Qingniu has just been reprimanded or ignited by the master, and he has corrected his attitude.
Of course, Qingniu knew that the reason why the old man would send him here to "practice" was because of the child named Xiao Jiu in front of him. No matter how it looks at Xiao Jiu, he is an ordinary child, without the slightest cultivation in his body, and there is no other hidden origin, not a demon incarnation or a master who appears as a child.
But on the other hand, Qingniu can also feel that this child is extraordinary. If he was still ignorant and unenlightened, he met this child in the mountains, and he was taken away by him for some reason, and he didn't need to explain in advance. When it saw Xiao Jiu, it became close to it, and felt that this child was different, and Xiao Jiu was indeed very good.
Mo said that it had been reprimanded by the master at the moment and began to bow his head to be a cow, even if the master did not speak, at this moment, Xiao Jiu came over, and it was estimated that it was willing to eat. Thinking so in my heart, I chewed the beans in my mouth, lowered my head and drank a sip of water, and took a few more mouthfuls of tender grass, and the more I ate it, the more fragrant it became.
Qingniu lived in another courtyard, and before he knew it, he was very willing to stay with Xiao Jiu. But Xiao Jiu, this child has only one thing that is not good, every day after getting up, he runs straight to the cowshed, pulls up his two ears and looks left and right, every day he sees the green cow in his heart, I don't know what kind of hobby this child is?
Three days later, everyone in the courtyard once again saw the peculiarity of this green cow and Xiao Jiu.
That afternoon, Tailuo lit a fire in the courtyard, put a copper drill into the fire and roasted it red, and then went to the green ox. Since this cow was brought back from the wild, it must not be allowed to get lost again, and it must leave its own mark on its body.
Qingniu watched Tailuo come over with a red-hot copper drill, and couldn't help but panic a little, with its cultivation, of course, it would not be afraid of Tailuo, who was holding a "murder weapon", but in this case, did it resist or resist? It suddenly sneezed, and then saw that the drill in Tailuo's hand flew out and plunged straight into the courtyard wall behind.
This was just a little trick of the imperial object, Tailuo who was holding the chisel and the two child servants next to him were unscathed, and one of the child servants ran over and couldn't pull out the chisel even if he tried so hard. At this time, Xiao Jiu walked into the courtyard and asked, "Uncle Tailuo, what are you doing?"
