Chapter 317 Handing Over the Big Yellow Ox
Chang Kun ignored what the people behind him were saying and led his aunt towards the woods at the foot of the hill.
Logically, a large yellow ox that has been scratched by a tiger wouldn't have run too far, and with flies swarming around it, it would likely be hiding in the woods.
"Dahuang, Dahuang..." As they approached the woods, Auntie's shouts grew louder and louder.
Suddenly, two mooing sounds from the cows reached my ears: "Moo! Moo!"
"Oh my! It's rhubarb, it's rhubarb!"
My aunt was so excited that she threw away the pheasant she was holding and scrambled into the woods.
Chang Kun followed slowly behind, not in a hurry.
He sensed no prey in the woods, and there was no danger there.
The other villagers behind them exchanged bewildered glances and rubbed their ears hard: "What was that sound?"
"It sounds like a cow mooing?"
"Could I have misheard?"
"Surely we all heard that right?"
"Holy crap! It really is a cow mooing!" At that moment, a series of clear cow mooing sounds came again.
Without arguing any further, they hurriedly ran into the woods.
These people really didn't expect that the lost old ox could be found in the woods six or seven miles away.
"Oh my goodness, Big Yellow, you've suffered so much..." Auntie cried out excitedly from the woods.
Chang Kun was taken aback. Could it be that the big yellow ox had been caught by a tiger and was seriously injured?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly ran into the woods.
But then they saw Auntie lying on the big yellow ox, tears welling up in her eyes. The ox was mooing, and there were two scratches on its rump, from which a little blood was seeping out.
Upon seeing the two scratch marks, Chang Kun could immediately picture the scene: the black and blue tiger pounced on the cow's back, trying to leap onto it, but only managed to grab the cow's rump before being kicked away by the cow's groin kick.
"Auntie, the ox is fine, why are you crying?"
"I...I'm scared. Look how badly the ox was caught; it almost got eaten by the tiger."
The other villagers also looked terrified.
"That ox is incredibly lucky!"
"It's incomprehensible that a tiger doesn't eat a big yellow ox!"
"So you're saying you want Big Yellow to be eaten by the tiger instead?"
"Pah! I never thought that! You were the one who said it was impossible to find the big yellow ox!"
"It was you! You were the one who said the big yellow ox was definitely eaten by the tiger!"
Aunt wiped away her tears and reached out to hold the nose ring on the big yellow ox: "Xiao Kun, let's go home. We're really lucky today. We encountered a tiger and both the people and the ox are safe."
Chang Kun nodded, glanced at the other villagers who were still arguing, and ignored them.
These people are just ordinary villagers; there's no need to lower yourself to their level.
My aunt happily stroked the back of the big yellow ox and walked for more than an hour before arriving at the village entrance.
On the way, Chang Kun accidentally "found" more than a dozen wild eggs.
The villagers watching were furious. It was outrageous! They had searched everywhere but couldn't find any pheasants or wild eggs, yet Fan Erxiao's nephew could just walk into the bushes and find wild eggs.
As soon as the group arrived at the village entrance, Xiao Shui rushed over.
"Mother! Mother!"
"Oh, my good girl!" Seeing the tears on Xiaoshui's face, her aunt quickly wiped them away. This girl was worth raising; she was really worried about her while she was in the mountains.
"Mom, how did you find the big yellow ox?"
The other villagers who had been waiting at the village entrance gathered around. It was a rare occurrence, like encountering a tiger while leading cattle into the mountains to graze, and they all wanted to join in the excitement.
"Wow, the big yellow ox has been found! That's great!"
"Didn't they say the tiger was chased away?"
"Even a tiger won't do; it can't even eat a cow."
Seeing that more and more villagers were gathering, the aunt called out, "Alright, alright, everyone, stop crowding around. It's too late, and my nephew is hungry!"
Only then did their gaze shift from the big yellow ox to Chang Kun.
"My God, where did all these pheasants come from?"
"And there's a whole nest of wild eggs, there must be thirty or forty of them!"
"Is this young man Fan Erxiao's nephew?"
"Hey, do you guys think these pheasants might be a trap set by someone from our village in the mountains, and he just picked them up?" someone whispered sinisterly from behind the crowd.
"Bullshit! My nephew shot him on the mountain. Go ask Dazhuang and the others; they were right behind him!" The aunt immediately launched into a tirade. Daring to frame her nephew, she was asking for trouble. "If you've got the guts, come out and say it! Hiding behind people, you useless coward!"
"Hmph! Fan Erxiao, you almost lost the big yellow ox, and you're quite proud of yourself!"
"Look at how badly that ox was attacked by the tiger! The village can't let you raise cattle anymore. What if something happens again next time!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding villagers' eyes flickered, and they began to have their own thoughts.
Cattle raising is considered a very easy job in the countryside. It doesn't require much physical labor in the fields, and you can earn a good salary. Everyone wants this job.
Unfortunately, Liu Meilin, who was skilled at raising cattle and driving oxcarts, had always been the one doing this job. Later, when he went to work in the city, he used his connections to give the job to his wife, which caused a lot of complaints from the villagers.
"Bullshit! Bullshit! Big Yellow just got scratched on its butt and the skin broke a little. I've raised it for so long and nothing's happened. Why can't I raise cattle?" Auntie glared angrily, trying to find the person causing trouble behind the crowd.
Liu Meilin went to work in the city, but it took a lot of effort to leave the cattle-raising job to herself.
"Fan Erxiao has only been raising cattle for a little over a month, and he almost lost them already! This won't do!"
"That's right. Anyone can raise cattle. If you're going to raise cattle for us, we won't let them get hurt."
"Yes, yes, let's go up the mountain to graze the cattle. Even if a tiger comes, we won't run away; we can just fight it!"
Other villagers chimed in, all wanting to get the job of raising cattle. Not to mention that this job required little physical effort but earned more work points, just the fodder the village used to fatten up the big yellow cattle could yield a lot of edible parts, enough to save enough food for at least one person.
The aunt was trapped in the area, unable to move forward or backward. Just as she was about to lose her temper and show the villagers what a shrew was, Chang Kun tugged at her clothes.
"What's wrong? Xiao Kun, don't worry about this, step back and watch me!" Aunt rolled up her sleeves, about to unleash the kind of scolding that all rural women know.
"Auntie, don't argue with them. Let's give up raising the cattle." Auntie encountered a tiger today, and it was incredibly lucky that both she and the cattle escaped unscathed. But what if they encounter wolves next time, or even a bear?!
It's too dangerous for a woman to be alone in the mountains without a gun or a stick.
"Look at Fan Erxiao's nephew, he's quite sensible. He knows he can't keep hogging the cattle-raising job forever."
"That's more like it! This kind of work should be done by everyone in turns; there's no reason for one person to monopolize it."
Auntie got anxious and pushed Chang Kun back, saying, "Xiao Kun, raising cattle is good work, don't worry about that, watch me..."
Before his aunt could finish speaking, Chang Kun quickly took an envelope out of his bag and handed it to her: "Aunt, take a look at this first."
"What is this? Auntie, I can't read..."
Chang Kun said casually, "This is a job at a state-run restaurant in the city. You're more suited to doing that at home. We don't care about raising cattle..."
His voice was soft, but his words had a great effect.
Wow!!!
The surrounding villagers were in an uproar!
