Sacred cow?
Not to mention Zhang Hejin, even Lin Xi was slightly stunned.
She looked at the man curiously and asked.
"How do you know it's a sacred bull? Does it have any special abilities?"
Upon hearing this, the man became even more excited than before.
"Da Huang is the divine cow. He has been very smart since he was little, and he even saved my life! If it weren't for Da Huang, I would have died long ago!"
Lin Xi had no doubt that this was fake.
In fact, many animals are spiritual, especially domestic animals like cows. When they stay with humans for a long time and are domesticated by humans, they will become very human-like.
Lin Xi had heard before that a family raised more than a dozen geese. When they knew that their owner was going to kill them, the geese ran to the corner and hid, refusing to eat or drink, and then cried silently.
After seeing the goose, the owner was shocked, but then he felt sorry for it and decided not to kill it.
An even more miraculous thing happened. The goose seemed to know that it had escaped a disaster. Its tears suddenly stopped and it started eating again.
Although there are not many such spiritual domestic animals, it is not impossible for them to do something humane.
However, what surprised Lin Xi was that what the man said about "Da Huang saving him" was completely different from what she had imagined.
......
The man in front of me is called Xie Dachuan, and the rhubarb he mentioned was bought by him ten years ago.
Although there are now many kinds of agricultural machinery and it is convenient to use machinery to plow the land, due to the geographical conditions of his hometown, the machines are difficult to transport and operate, so the people there are still accustomed to using the more traditional method of manpower and ox plowing when plowing the land.
If nothing unexpected happens to a cow, it can live for more than ten years.
This is also a big item, so when Xie Dachuan bought the calf, he also selected it carefully.
When he went to the market to buy a calf, there were more than a dozen calves for him to choose from.
I don't know why, but almost at the first sight of Dahuang, Xie Dachuan felt that Dahuang was different from other cows.
There was nothing wrong with Dahuang, and he also liked it, so he chose Dahuang without any surprise.
After bringing Dahuang back, Xie Dachuan found that Dahuang seemed to be able to understand his instructions easily, and it could learn some things after teaching it once.
At that time, Xie Dachuan only felt that Dahuang seemed to be smarter than other cows, and felt that he was lucky. This would definitely make plowing the fields much easier in the future.
The fact was indeed as Xie Dachuan predicted. When Dahuang was able to plow the land, it was indeed smarter and more clever than the cows Xie Dachuan had encountered before, which saved him a lot of effort.
He couldn't help but sigh again that he had really picked a good cow.
Apart from that, he didn't have much feeling.
After all, in his opinion, no matter how smart Dahuang was, it was just a cow, just a livestock.
On the third spring after Dahuang came to his house, Xie Dachuan took his old friend Dahuang to plow the fields as usual.
Because the two fields that were to be plowed that day were on relatively high ground and it was troublesome to pull the plow up, Xie Dachuan decided to plow both fields at once.
However, even though Xie Dachuan sped up, when it was almost dark, there was still a small part of the field left unplowed.
He really didn't want to pull the plow again that day. He took a last look at the sky and found that the moon had risen. The moonlight could barely illuminate the surroundings. So he did not go home and continued to plow the fields.
During the busy farming season in the countryside, it is not uncommon to farm at night.
One reason is that some people want to get things done in one day, and the other reason is that the weather is cooler at night, which makes it more comfortable to work.
In addition, Xie Dachuan knew all the ways in the village, so he would not get lost even if he went home with his eyes closed. Therefore, he was not worried about not being able to find the way home after dark.
So he pulled the rhubarb horse to plow the field again, and only after he had plowed the rest of the field could he harvest it.
He didn't bring his cell phone when he came out, so he had no idea what time it would be.
He only knew that the fields seemed much quieter than usual that night, so quiet that even the chirping of crickets and frogs was barely audible. There was no light in the houses in the distance, so he feared they were all asleep.
I guess it's really too late.
Realizing this, Xie Dachuan couldn't help but quicken his pace to go home.
When he returned home from the paddy field, he had to pass through a small woods.
The forest was not dense, and it was estimated to be no more than twenty meters long after walking through it. In addition, the branches and leaves were not very dense, so the moonlight could shine in. Therefore, Xie Dachuan did not feel scared.
He carried the plow on his shoulder and walked in front. Dahuang followed him obediently without him holding the rope.
After leaving this small woods, turn another corner and walk a short distance, and you will reach the main road to the village. You can get home by following the main road, so it is actually not far.
What made Xie Dachuan a little strange was that he could usually get out of this small forest in just ten seconds, but this time he tried for a long time but couldn't get out.
The plow on his shoulders almost crushed him, and the woods had not yet been cleared, so Xie Dachuan had to put down the plow and take a break.
While resting, he looked around in confusion, trying to see if he had taken the wrong path.
After a quick look, it turns out that this is not wrong.
He was now in the middle of the woods, with familiar scenes in front and behind him.
Besides, it's only about twenty meters away, what could go wrong?
Then why hasn't he gotten out after so long?
Or is it because he is too tired today that he feels the distance is longer?
After resting for a while, Xie Dachuan prepared to call Dahuang to continue rushing home.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared at the exit of the woods ahead.
It was a woman, carrying a big bag, as if she was in a hurry.
Xie Dachuan was shocked when he saw the woman.
He came to his senses only after hearing the woman speak.
The woman stood at the exit of the woods and shouted at Xie Dachuan.
"Brother, I want to ask where Xiejia Village is. I came here to visit my relatives, but I got stuck here."
Xiejia Village is the village where Xie Dachuan lives. Although he doesn't know the woman in front of him, he thinks that since she is here to visit relatives, she must be a relative of a fellow villager in the village.
Since she was a relative of an acquaintance, Xie Dachuan unconsciously lowered his guard against the woman.
In addition, since the other party had the same destination as him, he spoke enthusiastically.
"I'm from Xiejia Village. I'm planning to go back. If you don't mind, follow me and I'll take you there."
Upon hearing that, the woman immediately smiled and thanked him, then waved at him.
"Brother, please come here quickly. I'll wait for you here. Let's go to Xiejia Village together."
Seeing that she was carrying a large bag and that she was standing at the exit of the woods, Xie Dachuan did not think there was anything wrong with her standing there waiting for him.
In order not to make the other party wait any longer, he picked up the plow and then called his old friend Dahuang to go out.
Something strange happened.
Dahuang, who had always been docile and obedient since he came home, suddenly let out a loud moo, then moved suddenly, quickly came to Xie Dachuan and blocked him.
Xie Dachuan was stunned and had no idea what Dahuang meant.
He thought that Dahuang wanted to move ahead, but after waiting for a while, he found that Dahuang was just blocking him and showed no sign of moving forward.
