The cow stumbled along, while Peppa played as she walked, finally reaching the ditch.
The area is still lush with vegetation, but Jiang Zhi has spent less time on the mountain these past two months, so he has also spent less time collecting herbs.
Seeing a large patch of smartweed growing here today, I started cutting it right away, not forgetting to call out to the boy who was looking around: "Qian Niu, don't go in there carelessly, be careful not to step on a snake!"
"Ah!" Qianniu was so frightened that he quickly retreated.
At this moment, Peppa had already entered the ditch and was lying in the mud, rolling around.
When Qianniu saw his master cutting pig feed, he also cut some, which was what he used to feed cattle back in his hometown.
The main purpose of this trip was to familiarize themselves with the route. Jiang Zhi casually cut some herbs and pointed to the ditch that was mostly covered by grass: "This leads to the mountain ridge behind. Don't go there casually. There is a large herd of wild boars behind it. It is Peppa's hometown and now it is also Peppa's enemy."
"Peppa's hometown? Madam, how come Peppa is living with people? How did she become an enemy?" Qianniu looked at the wild boar frolicking in the mud with great curiosity.
He was both curious and afraid of the big wild boar, and was headbutted the first time he saw Peppa Pig.
He still remembers that when the wild boar charged at him, he had no chance to dodge and was sent flying.
Jiang Zhi hesitated, unable to bring herself to tell Peiqi about how she had hunted a herd of wild boars in the ditch and how a baby wild boar, only a few days old, had been nearly killed by a snake.
That's Page's real dark history!
Faced with the curious Qian Niu, Jiang Zhi thought for a moment before saying, "Peppa Pig got lost. When she grew up, she went back to look for her mother, but she was bitten all over and escaped. They became enemies and now they fight when they meet."
A feeling of pity welled up in Gyeon-niu, and he looked at Peppa with sympathy: another one who has left home and can't go back.
But at that moment, the poor pig was playing like a 300-pound child, picking at the stones in the ditch to find crabs.
The iron crabs in the ravine are no pushovers; one of them clamped down on Peppa Pig's nose.
Peppa screamed, flung the crab away, and charged at Jiang Zhi.
"Get away, you're crazy!" Jiang Zhi kicked it away.
It's getting crazier and crazier. Not to mention it's covered in mud and water, its weight alone is enough to make it unable to withstand a single touch.
Thick-skinned Peppa didn't think there was anything wrong with being kicked, and bounced into the ditch, splashing water everywhere.
Peppa went crazy, and Gyeon-niu ran far away in fright, afraid that he would be hit and thrown into the air again.
After chasing away the playful Peppa Pig, Jiang Zhi carefully observed the water in the ditch. It was indeed less than in previous years, but it was still gurgling down.
In my first year on the mountain, I came here to catch crabs, mashed them, and applied them as a poultice to treat Dazhu's injuries.
This year, everyone is busy down the mountain. Dazhu can sit and move around, and he usually makes soup and uses medicine. Everyone is not as attentive as before.
"Qian Niu, let's catch some crabs to take back!"
Jiang Zhi called for the ox to be led into the ditch, and the two of them began to turn over stones, just like wild boars.
Peppa was even more excited as everyone caught crabs together!
They caught seven or eight in one go, and then selected a few more stalks of sour grass and pig bristle grass to apply again.
After leaving the ditch, Jiang Zhi led the ox to her own hillside.
Currently, cotton and peanuts are being planted, and sweet potato vines are also being planted in some of the gaps.
There hasn't been any heavy rain these past few days, and the leaves are all drooping under the sun.
"Qian Niu, this is land left after the wildfire, now we can grow crops!"
Qian Niu's hometown is a plain. Looking at this land where it's difficult for even a person to stand up straight, he was speechless for a moment.
In the past, he would never have believed that such harsh conditions existed.
He never imagined that leaving his hometown would lead him to sell himself into slavery in such a place, and his eyes immediately turned red.
Jiang Zhi watched from the side, her eyes slightly lowered.
Having witnessed the morbid thoughts of the Tan mother and daughter, she wondered if He Xiang and Qian Niu also had some mental issues, and she discovered and resolved them early on.
Ten days after I bought Qianniu, the older boy knew how to be patient. On the surface, he had accepted reality, but he probably still needed time to process it. So I decided to let him see the real farmhouse in Ba County.
