Chapter 11

Although Pomegranate is bulky, she can run like a fly, leaving Lin Shi far behind.Shi Yazi was not bad, he followed closely, he was a 16-year-old boy after all.

Although Shi Yazi is Pomegranate's younger brother, his appearance is completely opposite to Pomegranate's.Pomegranate has a steamed bun face, but he has a handsome face, which is very eye-catching. Pomegranate's figure is round and plump, plump if you put it nicely, but a little fat if you put it badly, but Shiyazi is as thin as a bamboo pole .

Shi Yazi is thin and thin, but his body is very healthy. He seldom gets sick like pomegranate since he was a child, so he is easy to support.

The two siblings ran to the river, and saw that their cattle had swam to the other side of the river, where they were grazing happily, their tails were flicking, their buttocks were bouncing, and they felt complacent and uncomfortable.

This bull was very shrewd. He had already seen the pomegranate and the shiyazi coming, so he ran to a green grass field at the foot of the mountain and started eating. His eyes were still watching the movement of the river from time to time.

Pomegranate and Shiyazi had no choice but to go down to the river. The river was not deep, and there was no turbulence.Pomegranate used to play in the river like boys when she was a child, and she could swim in the water when she was six years old, but she didn’t dare to go down the river after she was eight years old, because the girls in the village didn’t go down the river, some people gossiped She said that she was so old and still hang out with boys in the water, Tian Lao and Yang scolded Pomegranate, and Pomegranate didn't dare to go.

Although she hadn't crossed the river in ten years, she still swam very well.When she and Shi Yazi swam to the other side of the river, Mrs. Lin also rushed over. Mrs. Lin was quite short, and she knew how deep the water was, so she stood on the bank and was anxious. Pomegranate shouted from the other side: " Mother, don't cross the river, just Shi Yazi and I surround the cow, dad is behind and will be here soon."

Lin almost fell into the river and drowned when she was a child, so now she is afraid of water and dare not cross the river at all.

Pomegranate and Shi Yazi ran to the foot of the mountain and surrounded their cattle one after the other. At this moment, Father Zitian also rushed across the river swiftly.

Father Tian came to the cow and was eager to try. He took the rein and wanted to pierce the nostril of the cow. You must know that the most difficult thing to catch a cow is to pierce the nostril of the cow. Because the cow is afraid of pain, it may kick the person in front of it. Fly, or simply attack people with bull horns.

When Shi Yazi saw that the cow's eyes were red, and it was still showing its horns to others with its head down, he hurriedly said, "Father, get out of the way!"

Father Tian was also a little scared, and hurriedly backed away.

At this time, the uncle of Shiliu and the two sons of the uncle's family came. They each held a thick stick and surrounded the cow.Unexpectedly, this bull was not only bulging, but also mischievous. When he saw everyone coming, he raised his front and rear feet to show everyone, which meant that if you dare to come over, I will kick you away, hum snort!
Everyone didn't dare to go forward, seeing the bull's eye spinning around and suspected of trying to escape, everyone was extremely anxious.If the cow ran far away, it would be difficult to find, but if the cow was angered, it was inevitable that someone would be injured.I heard that last year a young man from a village was pierced through his chest by the horns of a cow in order to pierce the nostrils of a cow, and he died!This is undoubtedly a warning to everyone.

Just when everyone was helpless, Pomegranate suddenly went around behind the cow, and took advantage of the unexpected, and climbed onto the back of the cow.No matter how the cow twisted its body, the pomegranate could not fall off, because the pomegranate grabbed its two horns with both hands after sitting on it.

I usually see Shiliu being stupid, but I didn't expect her to move so nimbly. She made everyone laugh.

Father Tian couldn't help but praised: "My pomegranate is capable! Pomegranate, hurry up, if you are thrown off by a cow, it will not spare you."

Pomegranate even spared one hand to gently stroke the back of the bull. The bull seemed less irritable than before.

"Father, uncle, come here, you can wear the cow rope!"

While stroking the back of the cow, Pomegranate put her face on the back of the cow and said, "Cow, cow, be good. If you run away and don't stay in my house, you will be caught and killed, and someone will kill you." Take your meat to sell, and then people eat it, then you will be gone! Don’t worry, I will treat you well, let you eat and drink every meal, even if you die of old age, I will not take you sell the meat."

Shi Yazi laughed straight after hearing this, "Sister, how can Niu understand this?"

"How do you know that it doesn't understand, and it won't tell you if it understands, right, Niu Niu? Come, I'll scratch it for you." At this moment, Pomegranate had already gently scratched the cow's back with both hands.

Seeing that the cow is really good, Shi Yazi also walked closer, and said with a smile, "I'll scratch it too."

Before Shi Yazi's hand touched the cow, he heard Father Tian and Uncle Tian laughing and saying, "Okay, okay, the rope has been put through the nostrils of the cow."

The bull was still so engrossed in enjoying the comfort and tickling of the pomegranate that he forgot to resist.

"Oh! Oh! My cow is so good!" Shiliu sat on the back of the cow and became proud.

Father Tian handed the rope to Shiliu, who happily patted the cow's back, "Drive! Let's go home!"

The cow walked forward obediently, and even crossed the river with pomegranates on its back. The others followed behind, talking and laughing, saying that the catching of the cow this time was really smooth, and no effort was wasted.

Shi Yazi said proudly: "This is all thanks to my sister!"

"Yes, yes!" Everyone responded with a smile.

When Lin saw the cow came back, her daughter was still sitting on the cow's back singing a tune that was out of tune, and she was also elated.

This matter is not a big deal at all, Shiliu usually gets along better with animals than with people, and the people in this village are no strangers to it.

But someone with a long mouth spread the word about it, and the Qian family knew about it two days later.
