Chapter 4: The Ox Is Lost
When he woke up in the morning, Wu Zheng hurriedly prepared two meals for his grandmother in the morning and at noon, hurriedly ate a bowl of porridge with rabbit meat, and filled a half-crockpot with a clay pot, picked out a few bones that grandma couldn't gnaw from the pot of stewed rabbit meat and put them in, wrapped them in a piece of blue cloth, and carried them to his shoulders, and then trotted to the cowshed.
Even if you know that today is the last day, it is also the best day for each big competition, after all, it is to learn from fellow martial artists, no longer need to be restricted by the clan rules, and you can give it a go, Wu Zheng still endured his curiosity, led the big green cow, led more than 30 cows, out of the fort, and went all the way along Nanxi.
It wasn't until he entered the depths of Dongshan that he could no longer hear the noise and fighting in the fort and the ring by the Nanxi, that he let the cattle graze at will under the leadership of the big green ox, and he picked up a few small stones and came to a tall old locust tree, leaning on the trunk and sitting down.
But the eyes are always on the eyes to see if there are hares and pheasants that have been startled by the cattle from the grass.
Wu Zheng didn't know how he practiced this stone-throwing stunt. As long as he is allowed to see, few hares and pheasants will run away from his eyes.
It's just that Wu Zheng doesn't seem to be in a state today, although he can't hear the sound of fighting in the ring, Wu Zheng still can't control himself from imagining the scene in the ring today.
So much so that the first two hares did not hit.
Seeing that it was already in the middle of the day, the temperature had risen sharply, and Wu Zheng, who had finally knocked down two pheasants, felt a wave of sleepiness coming, and roughly observed the cattle hiding in the shade of the trees, or grazing, or lying on the ground and ruminating quietly, and slowly closed his eyes.
This night, Wu Zheng slept very sweetly, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the sun was already in the west, and it was estimated that it was not the middle of the time, or the end of the time.
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he walked to the stream and washed his hands, and picked up the cool stream water and hit his face, Wu Zheng, who felt much refreshed, returned to the big tree, took off the blue cloth hanging on the branches, took out the clay pot and was about to have lunch, and suddenly found that why didn't he see the big green cow?
Wu Zheng, who had never worried that the cow would get lost, was not in a hurry, guessing that the big green cow might hide in the forest in the distance. So he stood up and walked over slowly, wanting to bring the big green cow back again. As long as the big green cow is there, the other cattle will not run away, otherwise they can't see the big green cow, and the herd in front of them will definitely walk around. Although there was no crop nearby, he was not afraid that the cattle would spoil the seedlings, but he was impatient to wait until he returned home to look for the cows.
When Wu Zheng came to the forest and still didn't find the shadow of the big green cow, he still didn't think much about it.
It's just that when he searched all the surroundings, he didn't find any trace of the big green cow, but only saw a string of cow hoof prints on the sand by the stream, and followed the cow hoof prints until the end of Nanxi, and even the cow hoof prints disappeared, Wu Zheng's head suddenly became bigger.
Hurriedly burrowed into the dense pine forest, following the faintly recognizable fresh hoof prints all the way, until he came to the top of Dongshan Mountain, Wu Zheng squatted on the ground with his head in his hands.
After the foot of the East Mountain, it is no longer the ground of Wujiabao, but the territory of Liulinbao, which has been the enemy of Wujiabao for generations.
Looking at the hoof prints on the ground, the big green cow must have been led over the mountain and entered the territory of Liulinbao.
What can I do?
Wu Zheng knew too well that it was absolutely impossible for the big green cow to leave the herd alone, let alone climb to such a high east mountain, because from the bottom of the valley just now, there was a dense pine forest a few steps away, not to mention the grass that the cattle eat, even the shrubs were extremely rare.
It is clear that the big green cow was stolen by someone.
Since his father went out to do business with his grandfather Wu Jixue four years ago, Wu Zheng could only stop studying because he had no money to teach. Relying on the care of the clan, he began to herd cattle for the clan to earn a few wages to maintain the livelihood of his grandparents and grandchildren. The big green cow is the head cow of the herd in the clan, and it is also the cow that contributes the most, and because of its docile temperament, it is highly valued by the clan.
If other cattle are lost, maybe they still have a chance to live, but the big green cow is lost. Wu Zheng knew what would happen if he couldn't find the big green cow waiting for him. At the very least, he has to use the house where his grandparents live to pay off his debts, and it is very likely that he will be expelled from Wujiabao.
Wu Zheng, who wants to go to the ground of Liulinbao and is fighting to find the big green cow after being beaten half to death, but he is worried about the cattle in the valley, what if the big green cow can't be found and loses another one?
Wu Zheng, who was squatting on the top of the mountain and was in a dilemma, was already full of tears.
After a long time, he finally calmed down, wiped the tears from his face, turned back to the valley floor, and drove the cattle down the stream without waiting for the sun to set. I have already planned it in my heart, and when I go back, I will tell the patriarch truthfully, and let them do what they do. If you really want to use the rent to pay off the debt, you can only lead your grandmother to leave Wujiabao and go out to beg for a living.
When Wu Zheng drove the herd of cattle and just turned around the bay where the big green cattle were tied yesterday, he found that there were still people fighting in the ring in the distance. It wasn't until I walked in that I saw clearly that it was the gray-clothed man and patriarch Wu Youren yesterday.
Both of them are bare-handed, and between you and me, the moves are all to greet each other's vital points.
Attracted by the desperate fight in the ring, Wu Zheng subconsciously drove the herd over.
Xu is everyone was attracted by the fight between the gray-clothed man and the patriarch Wu Youren, and no one scolded Wu Zheng, so that when Wu Zheng was about to walk to the side of everyone under the ring watching the battle, he naturally stopped.
At this moment, Wu Youren, who was already at a disadvantage, barely dodged the other party's move and the old tree roots, and at the moment when the other party changed moves, he suddenly took out a small white cloth bag from his arms, raised his hand and shook it at the gray-clothed man opposite.
Immediately, the white powder flew out, and suddenly the gray-clothed man was all over his face.
"Next, this is the famous Wu Jiabao, Wu Ye can be regarded as knowledgeable. ”
Apparently, the man in gray was injured by the white powder, and while covering his eyes with one hand, he turned around and was about to leave.
How could Wu Youren let the other party get out, and when he rubbed his body again, he already had an extra dagger with a blue blade in his hand.
The gray-clothed man who couldn't open his eyes, wanted to get out of the battlefield and leave the ring and run away, where did he think that Wu Youren would plot against himself again?
Hearing the sound of breaking the sky behind him, he dodged sideways in his hurry, and the blue dagger in Wu Youren's hand had already cut through the shoulder on the left side of the gray-clothed man, and blood was splashed everywhere. Ignoring the pain, the man in gray finally pulled out a soft sword from his waist, and instead of turning around, he flicked it behind him with his backhand. After forcing back Wu Youren, who was in hot pursuit, he immediately used his toes to jump, and jumped out of the ring with his wings in one move, and he didn't know what footwork he used, but he quickly interspersed it in the dense crowd, and went up along Nanxi at a very fast speed, and soon disappeared into the woods by the stream.
It's just that when the gray-clothed man passed by Wu Zheng's side, he suddenly said in a low voice:
"If you want to find Da Qingniu, come to Dongshan to see me tonight. ”
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was under the leadership of the patriarch Wu Youren, they did not relentlessly chase into the woods, and Wu Zheng hurriedly drove the cattle back to the cowshed. He didn't even bother to go home to see his grandmother, so he turned around and left Wujiabao, avoided Nanxi, and made a detour towards the Dongshan valley where cattle were grazing today.
