[Ask for recommendation votes!]
The sun finally turned over the mountains and forests, sprinkling the last rays of light on the top of the Meishan mountains, gilding the Meishan mountains with a golden outline. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info the red glow on the horizon is also a golden glow. The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk. Beautiful things are always so ephemeral.
Zhang Zhaohua and the others did not have the heart to appreciate the beautiful scenery that nature had at their fingertips, the sun was going down, and the sky was about to get dark. Now they were in the shadow of the mountains, and the light was a little dim.
"You should bring a flashlight when you come. Further on, there is the old forest. Over the years, there have been a lot fewer wild things in the mountains. The big green wolves have been missing for many years. But what wild things are in the old woods, no one can say. Liu Guocai looked worriedly at the darkening sky.
Liu Yunjun was grinning and didn't pay attention to it at all, "Brother Guocai, don't worry. I haven't been to this old forest for a long time. There is nothing to worry about at all. The big green wolf hasn't been seen in years. Now the biggest beast in the old forest is only the wild boar. As long as we don't provoke them, they won't attack us. ”
"What do you know? At most, you are walking around the periphery of the old forest, and the real depths of the old forest are simply going and not returning. Liu Guocai's eyes had a hint of fear, and the conversation between the two seemed to evoke a trace of his memory.
Liu Zongtai stopped, "Master Zhang, further on is Lao Linzi." It's getting dark, and it's not safe to go to the old forest again. Let's forget about it. ”
Liu Zongtai was very disappointed, he felt that the cow could not be recovered.
"Wait. Zhang Zhaohua did not immediately accept Liu Zongtai's opinion this time. Although Liu Zongtai is the main family, Zhang Zhaohua feels that he can't smash his signboard. Of course, the most important thing is that he has heard from the cry of the Diamond Mountain Leopard, and the Diamond Mountain Leopard has found something.
"Master Zhang, you have done your best to help me find cattle, I am very grateful to you. But you must not be in any danger. Let's go back. Liu Zongtai glanced at Lao Linzi very regretfully.
"I'm not talking about going to the old woods. My leopard may have been spotted. It's not far ahead. I didn't get to the old forest. I'm not going to risk my life to find a cow. Zhang Zhaohua shook her head.
"Found it?" asked Liu Zongtai in surprise.
"Looking for something should have been found. But your cattle may be in a bad situation. If you find it back, it's hard to say whether you can still plow the land. Zhang Zhaohua thought about the leopard and walked on the ground where the dog kept barking.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Zhang Zhaohua took Liu Zongtai and others to find the location of the diamond leopard.
The leopard was standing on top of a waterhole, barking incessantly. When he saw Zhang Zhaohua, he immediately greeted him, and kept rubbing on Zhang Zhaohua as if he was invited. Zhang Zhaohua stroked the head of the leopard with his little hand a few times, "Leopard, you have made meritorious service this time." ”
"There, there, the cow is there!" Liu Yunjun shouted in surprise, pointing to the edge of the waterhole.
Several people looked at the place where Liu Yunjun pointed out, and sure enough, they found a buffalo that had been missing for a day or two in the waterhole. However, the buffalo was not in good condition, lying on the edge of the waterhole in a shallow place, not moving.
Although he found the cow, Liu Zongtai had a bitter face. It is not easy to get the cow back.
This waterhole is called Falling Star Pond, and it is said that it is a huge crater smashed by meteorites, and all the rainwater collected from the surrounding peaks collects here, turning it into a pool of water. During the rainy season, the water in the waterhole overflows and becomes a small lake in the valley. During the dry season, the water level drops by a maximum of ten meters. It's the dry season, and the water level is relatively low. Although it did not reach the lowest, it also fell for about ten meters. The waterhole is surrounded by a completely vertical stone wall. When a person falls, he can only climb the vines on the stone wall to get up. Now a cow has fallen, and there is no way to get it up. Even if you get it, judging from the current state of the cow, I'm afraid you can only eat meat.
So although Niu was found, for Liu Zongtai, he was completely disappointed. Because the ox was killed and sold for meat, the money obtained could buy a calf at most. It is not a matter of time for a calf to grow into a cow. This buffalo is in the prime of life, and it has been domesticated, so it is the best time to use. The losses are not small. It is not easy for a cow to be tamed.
Mrs. Liu Zong's family is in good condition, and she can buy an adult cow and come back. However, it is not so easy to buy a suitable head in the cattle and horse trading market.
"What can I do?" Liu Guocai squatted down, took out a pack of Xiaomei brand cigarettes from his pocket, took out three of them, and handed one to Liu Zongtai and Liu Yunjun.
"Alas, how could this beast come here to seek death?" Liu Yunjun took the cigarette and asked with some puzzlement.
Liu Guocai glanced at Liu Yunjun, this bastard really can't open any pot. Didn't you see that Liu Zongtai was about to cry sadly at this time?
"Master Zhang, do you want one?" Liu Guocai took a cigarette and raised it to Zhang Zhaohua.
"I don't want it. Zhang Zhaohua said angrily. A good boy, you hand me cigarettes?
Liu Guocai smiled, "Master Zhang, do you have any good way to get the cow up?"
"It depends on whether the cow is seriously injured. If it's not heavy, you can heal the cow first, and then the pump will pour water from the river over there, and then you can get the cow up?" Zhang Zhaohua said, pointing to Meijiang not far away, Zhang Zhaohua was inspired by the crows in the elementary school textbook drinking water.
Liu Zongtai's eyes lit up, this puddle is not that big, and it is really feasible to use a pump to fill it with water. Poked his head out and looked into the pool. The waterhole is surrounded by vines, and the dense kudzu vines still have a lot of capacity.
"I'll go down and have a look. Liu Zongtai snuffed out a cigarette in his hand and stood up.
"It's about ten meters high, and falling down is not fun. Now the light is not very good. Why don't you come back tomorrow?" Liu Guocai persuaded.
"I don't know what kind of injury this beast has suffered, but now that it is still angry, it may be able to be saved. Wait until tomorrow, I'm afraid I'll have to eat meat. Liu Zongtai still decided to take the risk.
"I'll go down with you. Zhang Zhaohua looked at the waterhole, which was more than ten meters high, and for Zhang Zhaohua, there was still a little dizziness.
"Forget it. You cub on it. If you are a child, if you fall and get hurt, I will not go with my conscience. Liu Zongtai said again and again.
"You're not as good as me in climbing trees. "Zhang Zhaohua doesn't like to be looked down upon the most.
"It's about ten meters tall here, but it's not your usual tree-climbing. If you fall, there will be stones underneath. It's going to be fatal. Liu Guocai hurriedly said.
