Chapter 15 Blind Moves for Self-Protection
Until noon, Erniu was hungry again and wanted to pick apples to eat. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info found that there was not a single apple on the apple tree. It turned out that the only two apples left were for him to eat in the morning. Erniu could only hold his stomach and swallow saliva. He began to look around the cave for food, but after searching for a long time he could not find it. In the end, he decided to find something else to fill his stomach. So, he came to the bottom of the hole where he fell, looked up, and found that the hole was more than ten meters higher than himself. There was nothing to climb around, and I couldn't climb up anyway. He walked back, and sat down on the stone bench in frustration. Helplessly, his stomach became more and more hungry, which made him restless. Suddenly, a large cricket jumped out and screamed loudly not far from him. He had caught crickets before, so he tiptoed over to them to catch them.
Just as Erniu stretched out his hand to cover the cricket, the cricket jumped forward in surprise and landed on a bush. He continued to cautiously approach the cricket, reaching forward again. Although he didn't catch it this time, he found that there was a hole behind the grass. However, the entrance to the cave is relatively small and only allows one person to pass through.
Erniu tore the weeds at the entrance of the cave and found that there was light on the other side of the hole. So he climbed into the mouth of the cave and climbed towards the light, and the steeper he climbed. So, the entrance to the cave should lead to the mountain. After about half an hour, he finally climbed out of the cave and unexpectedly reached the top of the mountain.
Erniu looked around and found that there were cliffs all around, not to mention that there were no wild fruits to eat, and there were not even a few wild grasses to be seen. He looked down the hill in disappointment and saw what appeared to be an apple grove underneath it. He was so excited that he ran down the hill to the apple grove below. Soon, he was in this apple grove. It turned out that it was an apple orchard. The apple trees in the orchard are not very large, but they bear twice as much fruit as the ones in the cave. Erniu, who had been hungry for most of the day, had long forgotten what his mother had said that he would steal if he didn't ask, so he couldn't wait to pick the apples on the tree and devoured them.
As soon as he ate two, Erniu heard a rapid barking of dogs, and it was getting closer and closer. He was astonished, and after throwing down the uneaten apples in his hand, he did not forget to pluck two more and put them in his pocket, and then looked in the direction of the barking dog to see if the dog was coming for him.
Sure enough, after a while, a big, long hound ran over and barked wildly at Erniu. In the face of the sudden fierce hunting dog, Erniu was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. When the hound saw that the two bulls did not move, he did not pounce on him for a while, but barked at him. Erniu looked at the hound's sharp fangs and trembled with fright. Suddenly, he remembered how he usually appeased Xiao Huang. He thought that this hound should be able to deal with it in the same way as Xiao Huang. Because the hound was completely black, and his head was much bigger than Little Yellow. Therefore, Er Niu comforted: "Da Hei, don't be naughty, don't be angry, let's make friends, okay? I will take you to herd cattle and run all over the mountains together." But you have to be obedient!Be obedient, don't make any noise!" Er Niu had already taken care of the expression he usually had when he calmed Xiao Huang, and said that to the hound in a tone. But, instead of doing so, the hound became more ferocious.
Erniu thought for a moment and wanted to know what the problem was. Suddenly, he smiled, "Oh, yes! It probably knew I had two apples in my pocket, so it wouldn't let me go." Then I'll take out those two apples and give them back!" he reached into his arms and took out the two apples just now, and while carefully placing them on the ground, he said to the hound: "Dahei, look, I have returned the two apples to you just now, and there is really nothing left on me." As he spoke, he slapped his body hard with both hands a few times to show that he was telling the truth. Still, the hound barked at him as before, showing no sign of compromise. Seeing this, Erniu became anxious and became a little overwhelmed. Said helplessly: "Okay, if you don't want to be friends with me, then I'll go." After saying that, he wanted to turn around and run.
However, as soon as the second ox turned around, the hound took another step forward. He stopped, didn't dare to move again, and didn't dare to look back. When the hound saw that the two oxen did not move, his barking eased a little. Erniu thought that the hound was no longer chasing him, so he closed his eyes and ran forward desperately, trying to shake off the hound.
When the hound saw that the two oxen had run away, he pounced on him fiercely. Erniu knew that the hound was chasing him, and the closer he was chasing, he didn't dare to turn back, so he could only run forward desperately. However, he didn't run far before he tripped over a branch as thick as an arm's length and fell to the ground. Erniu anxiously looked back at the hound. I saw that the hound had chased after him, and was leaping up with his teeth and claws to pounce on Erniu. Erniu closed his eyes and didn't dare to look more, and suddenly remembered that there was a picture in the cave of a sword stabbing backwards. In desperation, he immediately turned over, picked up the branch, leaned back and stabbed it backwards according to the move in the picture. As soon as he stabbed out, he felt a powerful momentum in his hands coming from the branches. The momentum was so great that his hands could no longer hold the branch, and the branch was rubbed open and bloody. He was also swept forward by the momentum and lay on the ground. Although his hands ached severely, he was more worried about the hound catching up. So, I immediately stood up and looked behind me and wanted to run again. Strangely enough, the hound just lay on the ground and made a muffled noise, but could not get up again. And there was still the branch he had just picked up stuck in his neck, and the blood was flowing. He saw that the hound had been badly wounded by the branch he had picked up, so he did not pursue it any further. So he cautiously returned to the hound to see what was going on. Just as he was puzzled by the dying hound, the barking of dogs and the shouting of people could be heard in the distance. Erniu was so frightened that he didn't dare to stop any longer, and ran to the cave in embarrassment.
