Louder than the wind, it seemed to beat on everyone's heart.
The cow was hit so hard that stars appeared in its eyes. It did not move on purpose, but as a creature that always stood on four legs, when it sensed danger, it would definitely choose to stand for balance instead of lying down.
But this subconscious reaction did not help it. Instead, it received a second, third, and continuous punch.
Bang bang bang bang bang...
One is lighter than the other.
Qi Si tried his best with his first punch because he was worried that he would not be able to control the bad-tempered cow, but as the cow's reaction became weaker and weaker, the strength of his fist continued to weaken.
Tau Niu: I can’t move anymore, what do you want?
He half-closed his eyelids and quietly pressed his head to the snow. If it weren't for its body still rising and falling regularly, its nostrils widening as it inhaled and exhaled desperately, it would have felt like it was about to be beaten to death by Qi Si.
Already...
Yan Yu ran over, and the panic he felt before disappeared as quickly as it came.
No, it went too fast!
The reversal was so dramatic that it was unbelievable.
Who would have thought that such a violent bull would be subdued by Uncle Qi's punches one after another.
Qi Si himself was a little scared.
When he saw the waiter coming over, he seemed to have found his backbone.
"Xiao Er, Fourth Uncle Qi held back his strength. Really, he stopped it later. Can you help me see if it can die?"
Yan Yu:……
The worry in Fourth Uncle Qi's eyes is too obvious. He is still pressing on the cow. It is very likely that he does not dare to move anymore, for fear that... the cow will die...
Yan Yuzai looked carefully front and back.
It should be... not dead.
"Uncle Sun, how are you?" Yan Yu asked with concern.
Between the fourth uncle Qi and Tou Niu, the latter is what needs to be concerned about. Between the second uncle Sun and Tou Niu, obviously the former should be more concerned about.
"It's okay, it's okay, is this cow going to die?" Sun Erdan finally let go of the cow's tail and got up.
As soon as the cow's tail was released, it swayed slowly, tentatively to the left and then to the right, with a very small amplitude.
Sun Erdan laughed: "Haha, it's okay, I'm still alive."
"Qi Si, you are so good! You knocked down such a big cow!" Sun Erdan patted the snow on his body and ran to the front to take a look.
At this time, people from Xiaoan Village came running one after another.
The first one to arrive was Yan Huaiwen, who came on horseback the fastest.
Before the horse stopped, he turned over, took two steps at a trot, and stood firm in front of him. He glanced around and saw that everyone was fine, and his tense body relaxed.
Then there are Qi Da and Qi Wu.
The body of the man from the Qi family, with two long legs thrown away, was not much worse than that of a horse. They left a series of deep pits behind them. Because they ran so violently, Qi Da and Qi Wu exhaled loudly.
He was panting more than a cow lying on the ground.
Yan Laoer hadn't run like this for a long time. He felt that the air-conditioning he breathed in was filled with ice and it hurt him. He ran to where he was speechless. When he saw that his daughter was well and Qi Si was well, everyone was so excited.
Okay, I relieved my strength all of a sudden and sat down on the ground with my legs weak.
Qi Da went to pull him, and Yan Laoer waved his hand at him. He hadn't recovered his breath yet and wanted to sit down and take a rest.
Regardless of his objections, Qi Da stretched out his arms to lift the man up.
Let Yan Laoer lean on him.
The second brother Yan's health is far worse than that of the second brother.
Look, he's also running over. Although Yan Laoer ran a little longer than Yan Yu, look at the waiter, he's already out of breath, and he's reaching out to pull Qi Si up.
Qi Wu walked over to help, but Qi Si stood up on his own.
The focus is still on the cow.
Qi Si asked in a muffled voice: "Why doesn't it stand up if it's okay? I hit the head, not the legs..."
Qi Wu said blankly: "Did your leg just get crushed by it?"
Yan Huaiwen said calmly: "As long as everything is fine."
The implication is that it doesn't matter whether the cow is dead or alive.
Qi Si squatted down again and stared at the cow, who also looked at him unblinkingly.
After one person and one cow looked at each other for a while, Qi Si asked in a rough voice: "Can you still get up?"
The cow responded by slightly widening the range of its tail flick.
Yan Yu became bolder when she saw that her three uncles from the Qi family were here.
Pick up the cow's leg and bend it so that the cow's hooves stand on the snow.
I hope they can use this action to make the cow understand their intentions.
Just now, we really wanted you to fall down, but now, we really want to see you stand up.
A cow, or a tall and strong bull, why not sell it for 20 taels! If you can walk back, you will get 20 taels. If you go back lying down, I'm afraid you won't be able to sell it for this price!
Yan Yu's little accounts were crackling.
Among them, the only one who could resonate with her was...her father.
Yan Laoer regained his composure and hurriedly said to Qi Da: "Brother Qi, let's go over and have a look. I'll touch its legs to see if they're damaged. Why aren't you standing still?"
Let Yan Laoer choose whether it is live cattle or beef, and he will definitely choose one.
Qi Da helped Yan Laoer over.
Yan Laoer immediately threw himself into the inspection work.
That affectionate touch and serious attitude are all his love for cow health...
"It's okay, my legs are fine." After Yan Laoer said that, he looked at the cow's head again. In fact, he wanted to pick out the cow's eyelids to see if there was any bleeding, and whether Qi Si had smashed the cow's head into brain bruises...
…
Yan Yu picked up the rope on the ground, and the other end was still tied to the cow's head.
She exerted force and the cow was pulled up by its neck.
The cow's four hooves all flapped, as if it was thinking about it, but its pair of bull eyes kept looking at Qi Si. After thrashing twice, it stopped moving. Yan Yu could feel its resistance from the rope.
She seemed to understand something.
"Uncle Qi Si, you try to pull it up." Yan Yu gave the rope to Qi Si.
Qi Si took it and just raised his hand. Before he could exert any force, the cow, which was lying quietly and pretending to be paralyzed, jumped up and stood up. It was so neat.
Yan Yu:……
Qi Wu was curious, so he took the rope from Qi Si's hand and tried to pull it.
The cow didn't move, its eyes were round, and I didn't know whether it was looking at Qi Si or Qi Wu at this time.
Qi Wu was not used to it, so he went up and punched him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The three brothers of the Qi family are particularly experienced in dealing with animals with strong tempers.
My mule has a bad temper. It barked loudly when he first came home, but now that I look at it, there is no movement at all.
The cow took a punch and let out an aggrieved moan.
I guess I feel the power coming from the same bloodline.
Qi Wu held the rope again, and the cow followed obediently.
Qi Da also became interested. His order was reversed. He punched first and then connected the rope. The cow stopped mooing. Well, he must have felt the weight that his cow could not bear again.
Be honest.
Yan Yu took a look and said, "Good guy, it turns out you are such a cool guy."
She puffed up her face, clenched her little fists, and walked over.
Uh, I'm a little short of height.
"Uncle Qi, please make him bow his head."
Qi Da is definitely doting on children. In fact, the three brothers of the Qi family all doted on Xiao Er. In the past, it was because Yan Er loved Wujiwu. Now, when I think of Xiao Er's strength, I can't help but want to be nicer to her.
Qi Da suppressed Niu Tou with one hand.
It was also this cow that was beaten by three two-legged beasts.
When Yan Yu also finished swinging his fist.
Tau Niu: It’s so difficult to be born as a Niu!
Yan Yu went to hold the rope, and the cow followed her. She couldn't control it, and she laughed happily and made a goose call.
Yan Laoer also thinks this cow is quite interesting.
My hands felt itchy, so I punched them.
The cow's eyes suddenly opened wider, and Yan Yu subconsciously felt bad.
She gave her father a hand.
Then she saw the cow raising its hoof and kicking her father unceremoniously. He almost got kicked.
Yan Laoer was so angry: "Hey, you bully the weak and fear the strong!"
Sun Erdan and the men from Xiao'an Village who came over originally wanted to try it, but Yan Laoer had the precedent, so let's forget it.
…
I have tamed a cow, and the herd is really easy to take care of.
As long as you hold the first cow in front, the cows behind will follow you automatically.
Of course, like Yan Yu, the people in Xiaoan Village also felt that it was not safe to rely solely on the first cow, so they put ropes on their heads one by one. They were well prepared before coming, and the ropes were rich enough to leave room for each cow.
enough length for activity.
The sledge was piled with grain and various utensils scavenged from the tents. The tents were folded into large packages, tied tightly with ropes, and dragged directly on the snow.
Gouzhu galloped on the snow, driving a group of sheep in an orderly manner. No sheep could escape from the flock...
The returning team moved slowly against the wind and snow.
Qi Si led the cow and walked at the front of the team.
He was carrying a basket behind him, with all the axes and knives inside missing. There were piles of soft sheepskins around him, and Yan Yu was sitting inside, surrounded by wool, blocking out the wind and snow.
To be honest, if the wool hadn't smelled so strong, she might have fallen asleep.
Swinging around in Uncle Qi's basket, I tried to open my eyelids. The night sky was gloomy, and there were only haloed black and white in my field of vision. The sound of the wind, loud and small, whistling and whistling, sounded in my ears, like a lullaby.
Jade's head moved a little bit, becoming drowsy.
"Brother, please take the people back first. We know the way. Just walk forward slowly."
Yan Yu herself couldn't count how many times her father had driven her uncle away from the team and returned to Huju as soon as possible.
"Yeah." Yan Huaiwen's voice was barely audible.
Yan Yu murmured in her heart, "This is it again. The uncle's inaction is the most difficult to deal with. Seeing that her father was anxious, she added: "Brother, if you don't want to leave, then, let's add some clothes."
Yanlaoer refers to sheepskin.
Yan Huaiwen looked at his body. He was now wearing two layers, one for himself and one for God's blessing.
The latter one was something he had no choice but to wear after seeing Tianyou's anxious eyes turn red.
If you add more, you can only remove it from the tent...
What Yan Laoer is wearing now is the one he wrapped himself in three layers.
Look at him and his daughter, they are a model of hard work and simplicity. If the conditions are like this, you have to adapt. Look at his elder brother, his mysophobia is too serious.
When they were fleeing the famine, they didn't take a shower for several days. They were covered in sweat and their hair was sticky. How did the elder brother endure it? Well, maybe the sweat came from his own body, don't you mind?
But Yan Laoer understood his elder brother very well. If his nose hadn't been frozen, Gao Luo wouldn't have been able to bear wearing these skins.
"Brother, why don't we stop for a rest and wait for the snow to lighten before leaving?" Yan Laoer suggested.
The Guanzhou women who were rescued called the snow tonight "smoky snow".
Wherever the wind blows, the snow falls.
The snow on the ground was pushed all the way. When the two wind currents met, they were so excited that they swirled together. The snow was rolled up in the air like smoke coming out of the chimneys of every house in the village, spinning, jumping and flying...
"Is the direction wrong?" Yan Huaiwen was most concerned about this. In this kind of bad weather, it is easiest to get lost.
"It's definitely not wrong. Brother, look back. We are walking in a straight line. We are walking straight." Yan Laoer pointed to the back.
Yan Huaiwen squinted and looked over, judging from the footprints, it was indeed the case.
"Uncle, let's take a rest. It's too cold and the calf can't stand it." Yan Yu poked her head out and was refreshed by the cold wind as soon as it popped up. Her eyes suddenly became brighter and she was no longer sleepy.
The rescued children, like Yan Yu, were either carried behind the backs of the Xiao'an villagers or held in front of them, wrapped in sheepskins, leaving only a little space for them to breathe and keep them warm.
The women were grateful and reciprocated, taking care of the calves who were struggling to follow.
Hug them.
At first, they walked on the ground by themselves, but then the big guys saw that this was not an option and made some space on the sledge for them to sit on with the calf in their arms.
Fortunately, the cow seemed to be familiar with them, and as long as she could see the calf, she had no intention of taking it back.
"Stop and rest." Yan Huaiwen shouted loudly.
The team stopped from front to back.
Yan Yu was a little nostalgic for the warmth in the basket and didn't want to go out. She said to Fourth Uncle Qi: "Fourth Uncle Qi, let's go look for it in the back. I remember there is wine."
Qi Si responded and handed the cow's rope to Qi Wu.
Carrying the waiter on his back, he walked towards the back.
By the time the two men found the sledge where the wine was placed and pulled it back, the big guys had already led the cattle together in a circle, which could somewhat block the wind.
"Stay still and get the sheep here." Yan Yu shouted.
Groups of sheep huddled together to keep each other warm.
Without dogs chasing them, they are very quiet at night and can fall asleep standing with their eyes closed...
The guys put together the charcoal they brought and the firewood they picked up on the road, and finally lit the fire and turned it into a big fire.
Everyone huddled together, passing Beirong's wine to each other. After taking a sip, they couldn't taste the taste, but they could indeed feel a warm current going down their throats, and their faces and hands gradually became softer, unlike before.
Yes, I can't speak clearly as if there is water in my mouth.
Qi Si placed the basket on the ground.
Yan Yu climbed out.
Stand outside and do a set of messy fists and kicks to move your hands and feet.
Then I found a handy wooden board to push the snow.
Push the snow up, hit it firmly with a wooden board, and push it again...
Qi Si knows best what she wants to do.
The piled snow can block the wind.
The two of them worked together and within a short time a snow wall half as high as a person was erected.
Yan Laoer reacted and went to find the wooden board.
Qi Da also helped.
Yan Huaiwen also went to push the snow.
The government officials watched as the people of Xiao'an Village all moved into action, pushing the snow nearby and even farther away. They looked at each other, left the place closest to the fire, and ran to help.
When a large and irregular snow wall was piled up, everyone sat down and found to their surprise that it was indeed much warmer.
