"Host, should I go out and look for some effective wound medicine for you?"
Qian Xiao looked at her little paws and said, "No need. If it heals too quickly, people will suspect I'm a monster. Let it be. It's not a big injury. It'll be fine in a couple of days."
The calves were quite attractive, drawing crowds of people. Luckily, the two calves were still small enough that two or three adults could easily subdue one; otherwise, with so many people coming and going, they would inevitably attack people.
It wasn't until quite late that no one came to the house, and Qian Xiao finally got out of bed. When she came back, her grandma insisted that she lie down and even gave her a special meal of two brown sugar eggs. In the end, the eggs all ended up in the mouths of her six younger brothers.
Qian Xiao considered herself an adult, and she couldn't let little kids watch her eat.
As soon as his foot touched the ground, Qian Xiao frowned, looked down and pulled off his sock to look at his toes. Why did his toes still hurt so much? When he looked, they were swollen up like his paws. How could the skin of a bison be so thick?
No matter how strong she is, her skin isn't made of copper or iron. It seems she needs to control her strength in the future, otherwise these injuries will hurt quite a bit.
However, she shook her little head and looked around. Fortunately, no one saw that her feet were also swollen. If she hadn't brought her family up the mountain, they wouldn't have been able to bring back the two cows, which were still lying in her space.
She moved her feet slightly. As long as she was careful and tried to shift her weight to her other foot, she could walk. The only problem was that her family couldn't tell, otherwise she would never be able to go up the mountain again.
After walking a few steps, he felt fine; the skin was just swollen, but his bones and muscles were okay. After dinner, Qian Xiao whispered a few words in the old man's ear, and the old man nodded, telling his two sons to take the household chores and go up the mountain with him.
Of course, Qian Xiao would definitely be there to lead the way; if she hadn't gone up the mountain, there wouldn't have been two dead cows.
Under the cover of night, Qian Xiao led the way to a small cave not far from the foot of the mountain. Most people in the village knew about it, and it wasn't a particularly secluded place. When Qian Xiao reached the cave entrance, he slipped inside first and quickly released the two cows.
"Master, please come in quickly."
"Why are you running so fast, girl? That cow can't possibly run away, can it? And with such a strong smell of blood, won't it attract other things?"
"If we get it down the mountain quickly, everything will be fine. Nothing has come over after leaving it for so long, so nothing should come over now."
My second uncle finally managed to light the torch, and when he entered the cave, he was startled: "It's so big!"
The old man and the third uncle who came in later were also surprised. This guy, a cow must weigh at least a thousand pounds. Just how strong is their Erdan? How did he manage to pull two calves and carry two thousand pounds of weight? No wonder he was exhausted.
What a perfect explanation!
The old man quickly instructed his two sons: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and start dismembering it, otherwise we won't be able to take it back, and we'll have to make two more trips."
Second Uncle and Third Uncle quickly agreed: "Erdan, you can't do that again. How dangerous is the eldest's stuff? If you're craving meat, Second Uncle will go up the mountain and get you some meat to eat."
Uncle San also quickly tried to dissuade him, saying it was too dangerous: "Your second uncle is right. I'll go down the mountain to set traps more often in the future. You can't take such risks anymore. If something really happens to you, how will we explain it to your father?"
Qian smiled and nodded: "I won't go to the deep mountains anymore. I'll wait until I'm older." She realized today that she was still too young. Although she was strong, she couldn't handle just any animal.
"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, you three carry the bleeding one back after you cut it down. This one's head is smashed, I'll take it back. We can't stay here any longer at night."
She didn't know that others didn't know, but she had just taken the cow out. If it had been left out for several hours, it would have been eaten by other wild animals in the forest long ago. She was also a little worried about the strong smell of blood.
Don't let your family get hurt because of these two cows; that would be a real sin on her part.
"You can do it, your hand is still swollen."
“Okay, my left hand is fine, I can pull it with one hand.”
The old man nodded: "Let's try it first. If it doesn't work, the three of us will go again."
A cow weighs about a thousand catties, and a person can carry about three hundred catties. Although it's a bit strenuous, it's not impossible. Qian Xiao simply grabbed a cow's leg and followed behind. Her foot throbbed with pain, but she gritted her teeth and endured it. This much meat would be enough for her family to eat for a long time.
I doubt my grandparents would sell it. They'd probably pickle it or make it into jerky for easy preservation and to eat slowly. After all, they're not short of money; what they lack is food.
When we were almost at the village, I asked my second and third uncles for help. They carried the whole cow on their shoulders. Dragging such a big thing would make too much noise, and if someone heard it, it would be hard to explain.
The old man and his two sons stared at Qian Xiao carrying a cow on his back. Their eyelids twitched. Qian Xiao was small, and the cow looked like it was floating. It was quite frightening to look at it suddenly.
Thankfully, their backyard shed was on the other side of their neighbor's house, otherwise it would have been easy for the neighbor to find out. This family is always asking about other people's affairs; anyone who is doing well is considered their enemy.
When the people waiting at home saw such a big cow, their hearts pounded. Their son Erdan was incredibly brave; if he bumped into such a large cow, his bones would break. They prayed that the boy would come back unharmed.
Li Guizhi's legs were a little weak. How could her daughter dare to be so bold as the boss?
Qian Xiao realized things were going badly and quickly ran away, saying, "Grandma, Grandma, I want to take a bath."
"I've already mixed the water for you. Go wash up quickly, and come out right away. It's still chilly outside, so don't catch a cold."
"Okay, milk."
When Li Guizhi caught up with her, Qian Xiao had already closed the door and was taking a shower. That brat, you're lucky you ran fast.
The old lady looked at her eldest daughter-in-law with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong with you?"
"Oh my god, you didn't see that Boss Niu! How can your granddaughter be so brave? I was terrified just watching, and she still dared to lay a hand on me!"
"Alright, it's already like this, what's the harm in giving her a good scolding? You'll only be the one who feels sorry for her. Next time, we'll just make sure she doesn't go up the mountain."
"Besides, wasn't that child thinking about home? I guess she felt sorry for her second and third uncles when she was plowing the fields a few days ago. Otherwise, would she have risked catching that calf? Our Erdan likes to run in that woods, but when have you ever seen her lay a hand on that big thing?"
