Chapter 208 Catching Niu Niu
"Shanshan." Little Dumpling pointed in the direction of Wild Bear Ridge.
"Go to Wild Bear Ridge to catch cattle?" Everyone was stunned.
"Yes! There are cows on every mountain!"
Everyone was muttering in their hearts, but did not dare to speak.
There are many wild animals in Wild Bear Ridge, but there are no cattle.
Even if a cow accidentally ran in, it would have been bitten to death and eaten by wild beasts.
"Catch the cow, do you want to go?" The little dumpling's big eyes were watery, as if they were holding a clear spring.
Everyone's hearts were melted by the cuteness, but reason told them that there could be no cows in Wild Bear Ridge.
"Yan Ping, look at this..."
Everyone asked Ye Yanping for help.
"My daughter."
Ye Yanping ran over in two steps, picked up the little boy and whispered, "Daddy has been to Wild Bear Ridge many times, and there really is no cow there."
"Yes, yes! Yes!" The little dumpling nodded his head vigorously and pouted his little mouth.
"Okay, okay, yes! My daughter said yes, so it must be yes!" Ye Yanping said without any principles.
Villagers: “…”
"Go away!" Little Dumpling pouted.
If you dare to say no, I will cry!
"Go! Go! Go!"
The villagers rushed to answer. Even though they were full of doubts, they couldn't say no.
"Elbow!" Little Dumpling pointed forward with his little hand.
"Ah? Now?"
"Just like that?"
"Tie it!"
Everyone was completely unprepared and was stunned.
That’s Wild Bear Ridge!
"Daddy, listen to Xiao Jiuer. Daddy will lead the way!" Ye Yanping stood up without hesitation.
Even if his daughter wanted the moon in the sky, he would try to pick it. What's the big deal about going to Wild Bear Ridge to catch cows?
"Who wants to go with me?" Ye Yanping asked.
There was a moment of silence among the crowd.
Some people couldn't help but shrink back.
The cold winter is over, and the hibernating wild beasts should have come out. The beasts have been hungry for a whole winter, and their stomachs are empty and they are starving. Entering Wild Bear Ridge at this time is tantamount to delivering meat to their doorstep.
The little girl blinked her big black eyes and looked at everyone calmly.
The village head washed his feet, put on his shoes and socks, and came over. "What's the matter? You don't want to go?"
Everyone laughed and said, "It's not that we don't want to go, it's just that we're a little scared to go into the mountains at this time of year."
"Yes, there was no way to enter Wild Bear Ridge before, but now if we want to catch cattle, we don't have to go there."
Ye Yanping said, "Don't worry, I'll lead the way. We won't go deep into the woods."
Everyone lowered their heads and didn't respond.
The village head glanced at the little girl and said, "Okay, then I'll ask the other villagers if anyone is willing to go with Yan Ping."
The assembly drums sounded.
The village head got straight to the point, "Master Xiaojiu said there are cattle in Wild Bear Ridge. Our village doesn't have enough oxen for farming, so we need someone to follow Yan Ping into the mountains to catch cattle."
There was a buzz in the crowd.
You know what they are talking about without even listening.
“I’ll go!”
Tietou Dad was the first to stand up.
Their whole family had reached a consensus long ago and would unconditionally support any decision made by Lord Xiaojiu.
Immediately afterwards, Jinbao and Yinbao's father stood up.
The families of the Six Little King Kongs all signed up on their own initiative.
In the end, a total of forty-five people were willing to follow Ye Yanping into Wild Bear Ridge.
"Fellow villagers, this time we are going into the mountains to find oxen for the village."
The village head said with a half-smile, "There are over a hundred households in our village, but only forty-five have signed up. To be fair, I suggest this: if we find a working ox today, it will belong to these forty-five households, and no one else can use it. Do you have any objections?"
Those who had not signed up were a little hesitant.
"What are you doing?" the village head laughed. "These forty-plus households have worked so hard to get into the mountains, and you haven't done anything. Are you just trying to take advantage of them?"
This sentence made them blush and they all nodded in agreement.
The reason they didn't sign up was, firstly, they were afraid of danger, and secondly, they didn't believe there would be oxen working in Wild Bear Ridge.
"Then let's go quickly and come back quickly!" Ye Yanping greeted everyone.
Xiao Jiuer hugged Ye Yanping's neck and whispered in his ear, "Hey, let's go to the nest too!"
"My daughter, are you going too?" Ye Yanping was very surprised.
"Yeah!" The little dumpling blinked mischievously.
If you can’t go to the nest, where can you catch the cow?
The real reason why Xiao Jiuer asked everyone to go into the mountains today was not to find cows.
There are cows in the space. If she wants to give cows to the village, she doesn't have to go to Yexiongling. She just needs to ask the headman to open the door of the ancestral hall and lead the cows out, just like before.
The whole village regarded her as a deity, and everyone knew that she had magical powers, and that she didn't need to find a way to get around the things in the space.
Xiao Jiuer’s real purpose was to see the two stone mountains.
The first few times I went into Wild Bear Ridge, I flew there. I could vaguely see that the stone mountains were reddish-brown in color. Based on my experience in address surveying in my previous life, I always felt that something was unusual.
Of course, she didn't expect that the village head would take the opportunity to teach those who didn't believe in her a lesson.
In that case, let’s do as the village head thinks!
…
Ye Yanping held the little girl in his arms, and the group set off in a mighty procession.
"Why did Master Xiaojiu follow?"
The villagers were surprised and suddenly regretted not signing up.
But now I have no face to regret it.
When they reached the stone mountain, Xiaotuanzi asked the team to stop.
After getting down from Ye Yanping's arms, he first squatted on the ground, shaking his head and looking at a pile of stones, then picked up some small brown stones and weighed them again and again in his little hands.
Everyone was wondering, what is Lord Xiaojiu doing?
Why are you playing with stones before you even reach Wild Bear Ridge?
"My daughter, can we go into the mountains quickly?" Ye Yanping said.
The little dumpling suddenly giggled, "Ding ding, stick!"
"Want to touch it?" Ye Yanping smiled and touched the little dumpling's face with his.
The little dumpling laughed even more happily.
It's an iron tie, not a sticker!
It's all hematite!
Hematite is a metamorphic mineral. The iron in the stone is exposed to the air for a long time, causing an oxidation reaction, turning the stone into reddish-brown.
Heihe Village is guarding a treasure mountain, but it knows nothing about it.
After getting the answer, the little dumpling, who had overused his brain today, felt very tired.
He opened his little hand and nestled into his father's broad arms, his eyelids beginning to droop.
"My daughter, go to sleep. Daddy will carry you on the road."
"No!" Little Dumpling pointed with his little hand, "Niu Niu is in the debt room!"
A series of mooing sounds were heard, and everyone said happily, "It's a cow mooing! There really are cows!"
There was a valley ahead. Everyone ran forward a few steps excitedly, and the scenery in the valley came into view.
"Oh my god! There are so many cows! I've disturbed the cowshed!"
Everyone was so excited that they danced and rushed down as if their lives were at stake.
The cows were quietly eating grass in the cracks of the rocks, but suddenly they saw a group of people rushing towards them shouting, and they were so scared that they ran away.
There was a big fight between humans and bulls for a while.
In the end, everyone caught the cow.
It was just a coincidence that, including Ye Yanping, there were forty-six men and forty-six cows.
One cow per person, not more, not less, just right.
