The animal world of the head of the village

Chapter 51 Rescuing a Bull

Huang Xiaohu will never forget the eyes of the three bulls last night, and he dare not look into the eyes of the slaughtered bull today.

It's a pity that Huang Xiaohu was unable to save the bull, so he could only watch him being hacked and decapitated.

The sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers sounded again.

The bull's head was hung on the iron hook of the central wooden post. Strangely, its two eyes were kept open, quietly watching these happy people.

Huang Xiaohu went back alone at this time, because he really couldn't bear to continue watching.

When I got home, I happened to see Xiao Bei leading Xiao Qi around the house. Xiao Qi walked up and down, stopping and going. As long as Xiao Bei saw Xiao Qi stop, he would go over and hug Xiao Qi clicked, and then Xiao Qi started walking again.

Looking at the cute Xiaoqi and the serious Xiaobei, Huang Xiaohu finally felt a little comfort, a little warmth.

During lunch, Hu Xiaomei called Huang Xiaohu.

"Where is the person? Why is it missing? Where are you now?"

"Go home, I won't go there."

"What's the matter? What's the matter with you?"

"Today's living sacrifice is a bit bloody and cruel. Secretary Hu, what do you think?"

"Well, I think so too, but I'm the secretary of the village party committee, so I can't disrespect the traditional folk customs here, so although I dare not look straight in the face, I can't just leave like this."

"Well, then you can go eat and leave me alone."

"I saw that your parents were there, but you were not here, and I looked for you everywhere, but I couldn't see you, so I called you and asked you to come over for dinner. The whole pig feast looks pretty good. Why don't you come over to accompany Let me have a meal, and you will go back after eating."

"Forget it, the whole pig feast, I have no appetite. By the way, Hu Zhishu, I have long since stopped eating pork."

"What's wrong? When did you stop eating pork?"

"Secretary Hu, I don't think it will be long before I'm going to fast. Sigh, I feel very uncomfortable right now. Do you think there is any way to stop slaughtering cattle and sheep so cruelly and bloodily?"

"I don't know. I just heard that the second cow will be killed later. I can't watch it. I'm going to go back to the house to hide for a while. Xiaoqing, I'm still in the house. I won't talk to you for now. Having said that, I want to go back and see Xiaoqing first."

"Secretary Hu, can you do me a favor? Discuss with the village head and the others so that there will be no more bloodshed in the afternoon. In the past few years, the mountain god festival has never seen such a bloody and cruel event as this year."

"Okay, I'll try my best to talk about it, but I'll go back and see my little cute Xiaoqing first. If you're hungry, I'll leave something for you to eat."

"It's a free whole pig feast, no wonder parents and others have passed." Huang Xiaohu muttered in his mouth, but in his heart he was thinking about how to help the remaining two bulls.

Suddenly, an extremely bold idea popped up in Huang Xiaohu's mind.

But when Huang Xiaohu got to Guan Bull's cowshed, there was only one bull left.

The sacrificial ceremony continued, and the bull must have been led into the empty yard below the altar.

Seeing that there was no one around, Huang Xiaohu slapped himself, his ears began to buzz, and a strange sound appeared.

"Are you here? Why did you ignore me when I greeted you just now?"

"Brother Niu, it's hard to explain. Anyway, I can't talk to you all the time. Sometimes I can't hear your voices."

"What happened to them? Were they all slaughtered?"

"One has been slaughtered, and the other one has just been brought over. It is estimated that it will be slaughtered later."

"What about me? When is my turn?"

"night."

"Why is it night?"

"Because it is said that the last living sacrifice is to be burned with fire."

"I'm going to be burned right?"

"It could be, there could be other ways, I haven't seen it before, so I'm not sure."

"How did the first one die?"

"Hacked to death."

"Is it painful?"

"Well, kind of. Of course it won't be comfortable to be hacked to death."

"What about the next one? Will it be hacked to death?"

"probably."

"Why are you here? Why don't you watch it?"

"I couldn't bear to watch it, so I came here."

"What are you going to do?"

"Let you go."

"Let me go? Where can I escape?"

"Go to the back mountain. I know there is a stone cave. You can hide there first, and I will pick you up later."

"Thank you for your kindness. I don't want to escape. I hate that kind of life of hiding."

"I'm just hiding temporarily, and I'll pick you up when the wind blows over."

"Why do you want to save me?"

"Because I can't bear to see you tortured to death."

"You saved me, will you keep me by your side?"

"Yes, if you want."

"Okay, I do."

Huang Xiaohu gave a few more instructions, and then he untied the noose that tied the cow, and took the cow to the bamboo forest in the back mountain while no one was paying attention.

Huang Xiaohu slapped himself, and then explained to the snake brothers that one of his cows would be in the cave for the time being, and told the snake brothers not to hurt it.

At this time, the bull suddenly said: "Master, come up."

"Come up? Where are you going?"

The bull knelt down on the ground and continued: "Ride on me, and you can show the way. I will carry you and walk, so you won't be tired."

Huang Xiaohu hesitated for a moment, but the bull said: "Hurry up, it will go faster this way."

Huang Xiaohu sat on the bull, and the bull got up, told Huang Xiaohu to sit still, and then walked towards the cave according to Huang Xiaohu's guidance.

The bull is very strong, big, and surprisingly strong.Carrying Huang Xiaohu on its back, the bull walked very quickly, and it didn't feel strenuous at all.

"I didn't expect you to be so strong, are you tired?"

"Not tired, you saved me, I will stay by your side, and I will follow you in the future, if you ask me to do something, I will feel more at ease."

"Okay, Brother Niu, wherever I go in the future, you can carry me on your back and be my mount, do you think it's okay?"

"Okay, it's a great honor, as long as you don't dislike me."

"How could it be? Brother Niu, you are hiding in the cave. Don't come out during the day. There are grass and water there. At night, you come out to eat and drink. Brother Snake will help you. Don't hurt the snake. Wait for me to come and pick you up." ,Do you understand?"

"Okay, I didn't expect that the master can even communicate with snakes. It's really amazing."

"Brother Niu, to tell you the truth, I can communicate with all the animals here, so you have to live in peace with them, don't bully or hurt other animals, and if you encounter trouble, you can come to me. What's the trouble?"

"Master, you saved me, they will know when the time comes, will you be in trouble?"

"No, I will compensate them. Don't worry, don't run around, be careful, just wait for me to come and pick you up."

When they got to the cave, the bull knelt down and let Huang Xiaohu down.

Huang Xiaohu said: "Brother Bull, just stay here for now, don't run around, wait until I come to pick you up."

"Master, you helped us. Let me tell you something. The bezoar in our body is much more valuable than ordinary cattle. I also heard what my elders said."

"Bezoar?"

"That's right. They killed my two brothers. They probably haven't realized that our bezoar is a treasure. Master, if you have a chance, remember to take the bezoar from my two brothers."

"What time is it now? Let's settle this matter first. I'll play by ear for the bezoar matter. By the way, I may come to pick you up in two or three days. Brother Bull, you have to take care."

"Master, don't worry, I won't run around, I will wait for you to come back."

Huang Xiaohu gave instructions for a while, and explained to the snake brothers before leaving.

As soon as Huang Xiaohu came home, Hu Xiaomei came to find him.

"Why don't you answer the phone?"

As soon as Huang Xiaohu touched his body, he remembered that he didn't bring his mobile phone to charge.

"Charging, I didn't bring it with me. Secretary Hu, what's wrong?"

"Someone said you stole the cow, didn't you?"

"What cow? Stolen? No."

"Huang Xiaohu, can you be honest with me? There were originally three cows sacrificed, but two were killed in the morning and at noon, and the remaining one was locked in the cowshed. Someone saw you go to the cowshed just now, and then The cow was found missing."

"It's true that I went to the cowshed, but if you say I stole a cow, you have to ask that person. Since I stole a cow, where is the cow? Have you seen the cow? Where is the cow I stole?"

"The bonfire is going to be lit soon. I heard that the cow will be used as a sacrifice. It seems that the last ceremony is very important. If the cow disappears, it will have a great impact. Do you know that?"

"Secretary Hu, they are going to burn the cow alive. I let the cow go, but I will only tell you about it because I trust you. If you are willing to betray me, then go back and talk to them now Let's go."

"Huang Xiaohu, the problem now is without that cow, what about the last ceremony?"

"I can't control this. I only know that the mountain god festival held in the village a few years ago didn't kill the cow? Was it different and the ceremony was completed in the end?"

"The village head and Yu Changqing are very angry. I said a lot of good things to them and forced them to agree to let me come and talk to you. What they mean is that as long as you hand over the cow now, they will take it for nothing. None of that happened."

"Tell them now, I'm sure I'm not going to give the cow over. If they want to make trouble, I'm willing to accompany them."

"Huang Xiaohu, why are you so stubborn? It's just a bull. Could it be that you have feelings for a bull?"

"Secretary Hu, don't say anything. You can act as if you don't know anything, or you can confess me. In short, I can't control what you will do next, but my decision will not change. This time the bull Brother, I am in Baoding, there is no way to kill him."

Hu Xiaomei wanted to say something more when she suddenly heard the phone ring.Hu Xiaomei took it out to have a look, and said to Huang Xiaohu, "It was Yu Changqing who called."
