Originating from the Nanxi in the depths of the East Mountain of Wujiabao, it winds westward for less than ten miles, and then turns around the Dabei Mountain behind Wujiabao and turns to flow from west to east along the Dabeishan Mountain. It just passed by the south of Houpo Village, so the locals still call it Nanxi.

Luo Xudong, a hunchbacked old man in Houpo Village who has been waiting for his livestock for most of his life, has been buying a big green cow for sixteen taels of silver from a young student seven days ago, and he has hardly closed his eyes that night when he is happy.

Others may not understand, but the fifty-four-year-old Luo Xudong knows it very well. This eight-year-old big green cow can at least make a good effort for three years, and after three years, even if it kills and sells meat, it will be enough to buy cattle.

Therefore, since I got the big green cow by accident, I would get up at dawn every morning, lead the big green cow to the stream, and put it for a while before I went home for breakfast.

April 29 was no exception, as usual, he got up at dawn and led the big green ox to the south stream in the south of the village. Because the big green cow is very docile, so he wrapped the rope around a pair of huge curved horns of the cow's head, and let the big green cow eat grass by itself, while Luo Xudong squatted under a willow tree by the stream and lit a bag of cigarettes.

Moo, moo!

Luo Xudong, who was smoking, suddenly found that the big green cow, who was still grazing honestly just now, suddenly barked twice and ran towards a bunch of bushes by the stream.

Luo Xudong, who was afraid that something would happen to his beloved Da Qing Niu, hurriedly knocked off the ashes in the cigarette pouch pot, stood up, and chased after Da Qing Niu with his waist bent.

It was only when he came to the big green cow that he stopped at the bushes by the stream that he suddenly saw that the big green cow was dragging out a thin corpse from the stream under the bushes with his mouth.

The reason why it was thought to be a corpse was because Luo Xudong couldn't see any signs of life on his thin body at all.

Although he was also shocked by the sudden appearance of the corpse in his heart, because every summer there are always children who come to play in the water to drown, so Luo Xudong quickly calmed down. Just as he was wondering how the big green cow could suddenly be interested in the dead, he saw the big green cow stick out his tongue and lick it on the corpse's face.

There is also a constant short "moo" sound from the mouth.

"Isn't the man dead?"

Curious, Luo Xudong couldn't help but squat down, stretched out his hand to probe the corpse's mouth and nose, and sure enough, there was still a faint breath.

There is a way to save people's lives and build a seventh-level floating slaughter, Luo Xudong didn't care about continuing to herd the cattle, picked up the thin body on the ground, put it on the back of the big green cow, and drove the big green cow back to his home in the northwest corner of the village.

Back at home, considering that the unconscious child on the back of the cow might not be able to be saved, Luo Xudong did not plan to carry the child into the house. Instead, I want to put it in the woodshed for the time being, and wait for the gentleman in the private school to take a look, and if it can be saved, then make another plan.

It was only when Luo Xudong stood on tiptoe and took the unconscious child on the cow's back into his arms again that he suddenly found that the child was hot and hot, and hurriedly raised his feet to walk towards the firewood house, and he didn't care about driving the big green cow into the cowshed first.

I don't want to, the big green cow is following behind. This made Luo Xudong, who had been waiting for the livestock for most of his life, suddenly realize that the animals had been fed for a long time, and most of them would be humane. In other words, Da Qingniu must know the child who is in a coma in his arms. Perhaps, the original owner of the big green cow was this child, otherwise it would be impossible to show such abnormal behavior.

Simply, Luo Xudong turned around and put the unconscious child in his arms on the haystack in the cowshed. Seeing the big green cow walking over, he stretched out his tongue and licked the child's red face, and couldn't help but reach out and pat the cow's head, and muttered in his mouth:

"Take good care of your former little master, and I'll go find your husband. ”

There is no Langzhong in Houpo Village, usually people in the village who have a minor illness and a small disaster, they are used to looking for a gentleman in the private school first, and he is also an old boy in the village who has failed the exam for a long time, and Zhen Qingyi, who is 53 years old this year, came to see. It's really not good, so I will go out to invite Langzhong.

As the saying goes, show talent to study medicine and close the door to catch chickens. Although Zhen Qingyi has never been able to show off his talents, he still has talents in his chest, and he usually likes to read some medical books, so he can also watch small illnesses and disasters without leaving ten.

When Luo Xudong led Zhen Qingyi to the cowshed at home, he saw that the big green cow was still reluctantly licking the face of the unconscious child, and let out a low cry from time to time, Luo Xudong's heart couldn't help but feel hot. I feel that buying a big green cow is worth buying.

"Sir, look, is this child still saved?"

Stretched out his hand and touched the child's face on the haystack, grabbed another arm, and tested the pulse, Zhen Qingyi couldn't help asking:

"Brother Luo, you mean you found it in the stream?"

"Yes, sir, what's wrong?"

"The child's pulse was flooding, and although he was having a fever, it didn't look like it was caused by typhoid fever. ”

"Is there a way? even if it's just to wake him up first. ”

Zhen Qingyi also wanted to wake people up first, so that he could ask the reason for the illness.

I bowed my head and thought about it and said:

"Why don't you send it to him first, and if it is lessened, he may wake up. Otherwise, let's hurry up and invite Langzhong. ”

After speaking, while turning around and walking out, he said to Luo Xudong:

"It just so happens that I still have a packet of divergent medicine there, and Brother Luo doesn't have to go with me, so I'll send the child to you when I go back." Brother Luo boiled some boiling water first, and after a while, the medicine was delivered, so he fed him and tried it. ”

"I thank you sir on behalf of the child. ”

"Whatever Brother Luo says, it is to save people, and there is no need to be polite. ”

Since Luo Xudong's wife passed away three years ago, his only daughter married in another place, and he only comes back to see him every year during the New Year's holidays, so he has always lived alone.

After sending away Mr. Zhen Qingyi, he came to the kitchen to boil water, and before a pot of water was boiled, Zhen Qingyi had already sent his youngest daughter Qinglian to send the medicine over.

"Uncle Luo, Daddy asked me to bring medicine. ”

"Hehe, it's Qinglian who is here, and you haven't had breakfast yet, right?"

Seeing Qinglian come directly to the kitchen, Luo Xudong stood up and took the medicine bag and put it on the stove, and said hello casually.

"It's not too late, Uncle Luo, I'll help you. ”

couldn't help but say, Qinglian squatted down to light the fire for Luo Xudong and asked:

"Uncle Luo, where is the patient?"

"On the haystack in the cowshed. ”

Qinglian naturally knew the taboo of the people in the village, and it would be very unlucky for a person to die in the house. Therefore, not to mention strangers, even if a loved one at home is critically ill and breathes, they must be carried outside the house to a temporary spiritual shed.

When the water in the pot boiled, Luo Xudong had already prepared an empty bowl, opened the medicine bag, poured it into the bowl, scooped out a scoop of boiling water to flush away the divergent medicine, picked up a spoon and stirred it, and walked towards the cowshed with the medicine bowl. Qinglian also walked in after her, squatted aside and said to Luo Xudong:

"Uncle Luo, let's do it with me. ”

Seeing Luo Xudong's clumsy appearance, Qinglian simply took the medicine bowl, put a tablespoon by the mouth to blow it cold, and then carefully poured it into the mouth of the unconscious young man on the haystack.

After feeding the medicine, Qinglian said goodbye and went home for breakfast.

During the whole process, Luo Xudong silently watched the big green cow from the sidelines.

When he came in with the medicine bowl, the big green cow seemed to understand, and he took two steps back without hurrying, not only did he not make a short and low cry, but his eyes were still focused on the unconscious boy.

After Qinglian left, Luo Xudong stayed and observed for a while, knowing that the medicinal power would not take effect for a while, so he turned around and went to prepare his breakfast.

When he finished eating and returned to the cowshed, he found the big green cow lying quietly next to the haystack, as if he was watching over a young man who was still unconscious.

"Alas, sometimes people are not as affectionate as animals. ”

With a secret sigh in his heart, Luo Xudong stepped forward and reached out again to test the young man's body temperature, and found that it was much better, and his hands were no longer hot.

Just as he was about to take his hand away from the boy's forehead, the boy on the haystack suddenly opened his eyes and sat up suddenly.

Yes, the boy who woke up was Wu Zheng.

When Wu Zheng opened his eyes in a daze, the first thing he saw was the big green cow lying next to him, and his first reaction was that he was caught back to Wujiabao again, so he was so frightened that he turned over and sat up.

It's just that due to the excessive movement, it was inevitable that the injury in the chest was affected, and then with an "oops", he fell on the haystack again.

"Moo-!"

In the cheerful cry of the big green cow, Wu Zheng finally saw that not only did he not know the person in front of him, but he had never seen this cowshed, and his mood was finally calmer.
