Chapter 89 The End of the Bull Demon King
Yike's biological clock returned to normal, waking her up on time at six in the morning. She got up excitedly, ran out to wash her face and rinse her mouth, and according to her previous habit, she ran around the circular platform under the gap in the cave ceiling a hundred times, and then went to the hidden cave to feed the chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep.
Wang Cuihua had already fed the chickens and ducks. Du Jiankang was helping to clean the pigpen, collecting the pig manure in a dung bucket and then transporting it out to the toilet specifically for storing manure.
There is a saying in the countryside: "The success of crops depends on fertilizer." In that era, in the forest, there was no chemical fertilizer, and the source of fertilizer was human and animal manure. So every day, whether it was chicken manure, duck manure, pig manure, or sheep manure, all had to be swept up and piled together, and the ashes from burnt fires were also poured into the manure. Yi Ke had never liked this job, but now she could finally get rid of it. She was so happy.
"Godmother, Brother Jiankang, you are up so early! Is there anything I can do?" he asked in a joking voice.
"No more, can you go and help your mother check on how the breakfast is going?" Wang Cuihua waved her hand.
"Come here, sister, come here and help me. I have some work you can do here." Du Jiankang said with a smile.
"Tsk, you're so happy, why shouldn't I help you? I'm only responsible for the fragrant parts, the stinky parts are for you to enjoy. Hahahaha! I'm leaving now, brother Jiankang, take your time." Yike made a face and walked away laughing.
"Look how proud you are!" Du Jiankang looked at him disdainfully.
"Mom, is breakfast ready?" Yike shouted as he entered the kitchen.
"Okay, put the dishes on the table, and call your godfather and the others." In the kitchen, Li Haoran's wife Zhang Yuling was not the only one busy there. There were quite a lot of people there, including Chen Shengli's wife Tao Xiu'e, Li Youcai's wife Chen Hongmei, Hu Haohan's wife Sun Meili, and the greedy Ma Youcai.
Chen Hongmei was frying pancakes there, Tao Xiu'e was cutting pickles, Sun Meili brought the porridge and the pot out from the stove to cool, Zhang Yuling was stir-frying pork slices and bamboo shoots with a large spatula, the rich aroma wafted in the air, making my mouth water. No wonder Ma Youcai was lighting a fire there. "Godfather, mom asked you to call everyone to eat." Yike shouted at the door and returned to the kitchen. She picked out the corn buns from the steamer one by one and put them in a large basin, brought it to the table, and then helped to bring out the cakes, pickles, etc.
Everyone went into the kitchen and took a bowl to fill with porridge. Wang Cuihua and Du Jiankang also came in after washing their bowls. Yike ran to help Wang Cuihua fill the porridge and put it next to him, saying, "Godmother, here, I've filled it for you."
Wang Cuihua came over happily and said, "My daughter still misses me."
"Of course, I am my mother's sweetheart, so of course I miss you the most." Yi Ke acted cute.
"Yike, we have just discussed it. Except for Jiankang and your mother, everyone else will go. There are so many cows, the more people the better. Those who are strong can lift the big ones, and those who are not strong can lift the small ones. What do you think?" Du Qingcang asked Yike.
"I'll go too, and just let Jiankang stay at home. More people will help." Zhang Yuling said.
"Okay, let Mom go. Things at home are not urgent." Yi Ke said after thinking for a while.
"I want to go too. Lili, Fugui and others can go, so why can't I? The big ones can't lift them, but the small ones can." Du Jiankang strongly objected.
"Everyone go, it's okay to switch hands and lift it halfway. But let us make it clear that everyone has to do what they are able to do." Yi Ke had no choice but to look at Du Qingcang, and seeing him nod, he agreed.
After eating, everyone was busy preparing stretchers, ropes, and carrying poles, and the group set off in a mighty procession.
"Wow! Look at this cow. It's so fat. It's as big and fat as an elephant."
"Haha, you are exaggerating. Elephants must be very tall. Besides, have you ever seen an elephant?"
"You would say, then what do you say it looks like?"
"Look at its four hooves, don't they look like the capital of a pillar falling to the ground?
"Silly, don't you see that leg is thick and fat."
"Look at its fur, it's as smooth as black satin. I really want to touch it."
"I'll let you touch it enough later. Or you can touch it while sleeping at night and see if it feels good."
"Shh! Don't talk. I'll look for you if you run away." Yi was annoyed by the chattering of the four people.
"No more talking, no more talking." Ma Youcai quickly shrank back and hid himself behind Wang Feng. Liu Bing also moved back.
Not far across the hillside is the valley where the cattle graze. Yi Ke sneaked over and sprinkled the drug on the grass, then returned to the hillside and waited for the drug to take effect.
The largest cow in the valley was the one that Ma Youcai and the others were talking about. It was estimated to weigh more than a thousand pounds, with black hair and a pair of horns that were slightly curved inward. The tips of the horns were thick and sharp, and it looked as terrifying as a monster. The cows' big eyes are round like two lanterns, and their ears are swaying from time to time. They are eating grass leisurely, not realizing that the danger is right in front of them.
The cow snorted and gave orders like the Bull King. The other cows lowered their heads and ate grass silently.
"Eat! Eat!! The more you eat, the better. Haha! Bull Demon King, today is your doomsday, and I, Old Sun, will take you in soon." Yi Ke thought proudly in his heart.
When I turned around, I found that everyone was staring at the cows grazing with intense eyes. The distance was quite far, otherwise the cows would have been startled by these burning gazes and felt that someone was peeping at them.
"Yike, how long will it take for me to faint?" Du Qingcang walked over quietly and asked.
"About half an hour, godfather. Can you lift all these cows? They weigh more than a thousand pounds, right?"
"No problem. These are buffaloes. They weigh at most 1,700 to 1,800 kilograms, and cows probably weigh less than 1,500 kilograms. As long as they are less than 2,000 kilograms, godfather and your uncles will definitely be able to lift them. Don't underestimate us. We may not be able to do other things, but we are very strong."
"Okay, but the stick you use has to be sturdy."
"Don't worry, I know this, but the waiting is hard!"
"Haha, you can prepare more branches with leaves so that you can cover the valley and mountain more densely. There will be many cows that can't be carried away when the time comes."
"Okay! You keep an eye on it." Du Qingcang and everyone went to cut branches, and told everyone to cut those with lush leaves.
Half an hour later, the cows that were eating grass lay down one after another, and some even made rumbling sounds in their throats, as if they were sleeping.
"Yike, is he dizzy or asleep?" Ma Youcai asked.
"They fell asleep, the kind that won't wake up even if thunder strikes." Yi Ke said proudly, "They didn't fall down at the same time. Only when they are asleep will they not scare the cows that faint. How about that? Awesome!"
"Amazing! We can't even catch up with my sister-in-law's abilities." Ma Youcai began to get excited, "Haha, we're going to become a big cattle breeder."
"Look, they're all lying down, even the biggest cow." Liu Bing also came forward to take a look, and when he saw it he shouted in a low voice in surprise.
"Don't move where you are. I'll go take a look first." After saying this, Yi Ke quickly jumped towards the valley. Before everyone could react to stop him, Yi Ke was almost at the valley.
After Yi Ke went in, he smeared a handful of medicine powder on the nose of each cow. Now it would take two days for these cows to wake up. As soon as Yi Ke waved his hand, everyone on the opposite hillside came running over with shouts. Some were tying up the cows, some were handing over ropes, and the women, boys and girls were dragging over the cut branches.
After the cows were tied up, they were carried out of the valley to be transported home. Everyone worked together to block the entrance of the valley with branches to prevent other wild animals from entering the valley. The entrance of the valley was not big, only enough for two cows to pass through, so they quickly blocked it.
A group of people carried the cows home in a mighty procession...
