Chapter 316 Looking for Cows
When they found their aunt, her hair was disheveled, she was limping, and looked completely lost. She was hoarsely calling out, "Dahuang... Dahuang..."
"Aunt, why did you come all this way?" Chang Kun quickly stepped forward to help her up.
"Xiao Kun? What brings you here?" Aunt shook her head, finally clearing her mind a bit.
"Go back quickly, Xiaoshui is crying at the village entrance."
"No way! We haven't found Dahuang yet, and we can't afford to pay for it!" Aunt shook her head violently. In the village, a big yellow ox is worth several laborers.
"You won't find it no matter how hard you look. Besides, I've heard there are tigers in the mountains."
Auntie waved the stick in her hand: "That tiger wasn't very big. I saw it really clearly when it scared away the big yellow ox. It was only a little bit bigger than a wolf."
Chang Kun was both amused and exasperated; he had never imagined that his aunt could be so fierce.
Even the smallest tiger is still a tiger; when it's extremely hungry, it will eat people.
"Aunt, this stick of yours can't even beat a wolf, let alone a tiger. Let's go back first. Xiao Shui is terrified in the village."
"No, no, I can't go back without finding the big yellow ox." Aunt Chang was unmoved by Chang Kun's attempts to persuade her.
It was a cow, far too precious for her family. It was the village's cow, and she simply couldn't afford to lose it while it was in her care!
"Well... alright then, I'll search with you. At least I still have a gun." Chang Kun gestured to the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle in his hand. "If we really encounter a tiger, we can still shoot."
"Well, okay!" To be honest, my aunt was quite scared walking alone in the mountains, afraid that some big creature might suddenly appear and bite her.
"Xiao Kun, you still haven't told me what you're here for?"
"There's good news, let's talk about it when we get home." Chang Kun knew that his aunt was only thinking about finding the big yellow ox as soon as possible, and it was inappropriate to talk about the restaurant waiter job now.
My aunt sighed, "What good things could there be? If we can't find the big yellow ox, we won't be able to make ends meet."
"Don't worry, Auntie. As you said, the tiger isn't big enough to eat the big yellow ox... Anyway, we can just look around. Let's look over there." Chang Kun pointed in the direction the tiger was coming from. As long as we focus on that direction, the probability of finding the big yellow ox is quite high.
"Okay, let's hurry up, it'll get dark soon, and all sorts of animals roam the mountains at night. I've heard there are wolves, and bears... Oh, I forgot, you even hunted a black bear!"
With Chang Kun by her side, Auntie regained some of her spirits, muttering to herself to calm her anxiety.
The two had just crossed two hills when they ran into the villagers Chang Kun had met earlier, led by the burly man.
"It's Fan Erxiao, and her nephew!" The burly man beamed with joy upon seeing them. "Don't let them get away! If we can't find the big yellow ox, they'll have to pay us compensation!"
"What do you mean we can't find the big yellow ox? Can't you see we're still looking for it?!" Having lost the big yellow ox and spent half a day searching for it, Auntie was already seething with anger. Seeing that the villagers still dared to gossip, she immediately retorted.
"Hmph! What's the point of looking? The ox might already be eaten by a tiger! Let's hurry up and find a way to raise money to pay off the debt!"
"Exactly! They say they're looking for a cow, but they might just take the opportunity to run away!"
"They can run away, but they can't hide! Her husband, Liu Meilin, works in the city. If this doesn't work, we'll go to his workplace and cause trouble!"
These villagers, who usually greet each other with smiles when nothing is wrong, have suddenly revealed their true colors now that the big yellow ox has been lost and the village's most important labor force is gone.
Ultimately, it was because my uncle suddenly got a job in the city that some people in the village lost their composure.
Holy crap!
"What's going on?!"
"My nose!"
Chang Kun didn't tolerate their bad behavior and sprayed some capsaicin directly, silencing them.
"Come on, Aunt, let's continue looking for the cow." He led his aunt forward.
The villagers behind him were blushing from the spiciness, feeling that Chang Kun was a bit strange. Why did they feel spicy every time they got close to him?
But she was unwilling to stay where she was. What if Fan Erxiao and her nephew really ran away? Then no one would compensate for the cattle in the village.
After much hesitation, they still gritted their teeth and followed the two at a distance, wanting to see what the two were up to.
When they reached a depression, they sensed two pheasants inside. Given what had happened today, their aunt probably wouldn't be in the mood to cook, so Chang Kun thought he might as well make a few more beggar's chickens.
He took out his slingshot, snapped it twice, and caught two pheasants. He walked into the bushes and searched around. In a nest of grass, he found more than a dozen wild eggs.
"Xiao Kun...you have such good eyesight!" Aunt opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. She hadn't noticed the pheasant in the grass at all, and didn't know how her nephew had caught it.
No wonder the whole family benefits from Chang Kun's skills; with such hunting abilities, they'll never go hungry anywhere!
The other villagers following behind were also stunned. Although they were just two pheasants, it seemed like the people were fighting them effortlessly, as if they had just picked them up by the roadside.
Continuing towards the goal, I killed and carried any pheasants I sensed along the way. Along the way, I had already collected five pheasants and thirty or forty wild eggs.
The aunt was stunned. Her nephew had gone into the mountains. Was he looking for cattle or buying goods? How come he had such a good harvest without even looking for anything?
The other villagers behind them looked like they had seen a ghost. They had guns and would occasionally go into the mountains to hunt, but they could only catch a pheasant once every four or five times, which was already a cause for celebration.
They never imagined that some people could hunt as easily as picking up trash.
"Auntie, call out to Big Yellow Ox and see if he's around here." Chang Kun walked to the spot where the tiger had stopped, looked around, but didn't find any trace of Big Yellow Ox.
The large yellow ox raised by this family was not marked as prey in the system.
"Oh, okay!" Auntie snapped out of her shock and called out, "Big Yellow... Big Yellow... Where are you? Come home..."
Hearing this, Chang Kun thought to himself, "This is just like when I was a kid, playing outside and my mom would call me home for dinner."
"Xiao Kun, no, Da Huang is very well-behaved. If it hears me calling it, it will definitely respond." Aunt looked at the pheasant in her hand with a disappointed expression, without any joy at all.
Chang Kun thought for a moment and asked, "Auntie, do big yellow oxen usually graze on high ground or in the forest?"
"In the woods, it loves to cool off and graze, and I can also sit and rest in the woods."
Chang Kun pointed to a grove of trees at the foot of a nearby hill: "Like that kind of grove?"
He sensed swarms of cowflies hovering in the woods. Cowflies love to suck cow blood, so it was very likely that the big yellow cow was in the woods at that moment.
My aunt nodded: "Yes! You mean the big yellow ox might be inside?"
Before Chang Kun could answer, the villagers behind him became impatient.
"You're still looking for the big yellow ox? How far have you gone? How could an ox have run that far?"
"Ugh! I've come all this way with you guys, and now I'm going to have to eat an extra half bowl of porridge tonight!"
"Maybe the ox is already in the tiger's belly, how pitiful..."
