The Niu Benwang family is a real cow. After we arrived, I discovered that this family runs a cattle farm and makes a living by raising cattle.
The family is very well off, and the current market price of a beef cow is not cheap. His family has more than 30 cows, which is not small. However, this man is quite strange. He seems to be not good at talking, and the family will not do anything because of the good conditions. It's resplendent.
It is still an ordinary conventional structure, not a very big small yard, but there is a very spacious cattle pasture behind it, and his yard is also unique. Not only does it have space for people to live in, but it also has a spacious room. , a room with windows and doors, just for cows to live in.
When I go out, I don’t even buy a means of transportation, I also use an ox cart.
We were wandering along the way and we couldn't complain. It was so slow!
When we arrived, it was completely dark. If I hadn't been embarrassed to mention it, I would have thought that walking would be faster.
In that house, there was only one cow that was so lucky. I think it was the cow that Benwang said was the most precious cow that he grew up with.
When we got to the yard, we briefly got to know the other three members of the family, Niu Benwang's father and mother, and his wife. The family composition was quite simple, and they all seemed to be dedicated farmers.
Niu Benwang took us into the house for the cows to take a look at the old cow that always ran away alone and went to the edge of the dam to look out into the distance.
This cow is very strong. Even a person like me, who doesn’t know anything about cows, can tell with my first sense that this is probably the handsomest boy among cows.
He must be quite old. He grew up with Niu Benwang when he was a child. Based on his age, he must be in his thirties. This is a long-lived existence among cattle. He is considered an advanced age.
However, this cow does not look old, which shows that Niu Benwang takes good care of it!
"Sir, take a look. This old cow of mine is really not an evil thing. People in the village insist on asking me to kill it. How could I be willing to do it?"
Humans are all emotional animals. Even cats and dogs that have been raised for such a long time are treated as family members. Not to mention that many wealthy ladies in the city raise cats and dogs as if they are children, holding their beloved ones in their arms. It's human nature and understandable.
I didn't open my eyes, but lightly touched Lang Hongyi with my elbow. His eyes were better than mine, and asked softly, "How are you? Can you see anything?"
Zhang Wei came here just to watch the excitement. The only one who can really help me is Mr. Lang. His skills are so impressive!
Lang Hongyi said nothing, but shook his head, saying that the cow was normal and there was nothing strange about it.
No matter how nice the house is, it is still a cattle pen and it doesn't taste good.
Seeing nothing, we didn't stay any longer and returned to the Niu family's house. Their family knew that we had just missed dinner time when we came out, so they had already prepared a few dishes for us.
The old man from the Niu family, Niu Benwang, and his father said politely, "Gentlemen, please don't worry about the cow. Please sit down and eat something to drink. My son is just like a cow. People in the village call him nonsense." They said just go and find out the matter clearly, so they have invited you here at this time."
The food was good, and they were all ordinary farm dishes that would be served to guests. We were not polite. We sat down and took a few simple bites. Only Niu Benwang only moved his chopsticks, and we basically didn't eat much.
It can be seen that he is still worried about those strange things, and that his family will hand over his childhood playmate, the old cow, to calm down the trouble, and he can't even eat it.
We were full of wine and food, Zhang Wei was rubbing his belly while eating, and the Niu family were busy cleaning up the room where we were temporarily resting, so I declined.
"Don't be busy. We came here to see what's going on. It's just late at night, so we won't sleep."
Due to the nature of my work, it is rare that I can lie down in the quilt at night and have a good night's sleep!
After hearing what I said, Niu Benwang finally regained his energy and stared at me stupidly, waiting to hear my next arrangement.
The first thing I want to make sure is, did anything happen in the village after Niu Benwang left?
"Uncle Niu, my elder brother told us before and after the incident. Nothing happened in the village today, right?"
Speaking of this, the old man Niu also sighed and lowered his head. It was obvious that he was quite helpless about his cow's behavior. "It didn't happen. Many people in the village came to the door of the house and said something about what they had and what they didn't have. You said this Is this a coincidence? Or is there really something evil at play?"
The people in the village may also be aware of this situation. After the Niu family's old cow went there to daze again, he unconsciously stayed away from the dam, and the day passed peacefully.
Before I went to the dam to see the situation on the spot, I didn’t dare to say anything nonsense. I could only comfort the Niu family, “We haven’t figured out the details of this matter yet. As long as nothing happens, let them talk about whatever they say. It will be settled now.” The time is right, let’s go over and check out the situation.”
Hearing that we are going to the dam now, Niu Benwang will follow whatever he says, "It's not easy to walk there. I'm familiar with the road and can show you the way."
However, the other three members of the Niu family disagreed. For some reason, it was not because Niu Benwang himself was worried that something would happen, but Niu Benwang's stubborn temper was rising. No one could persuade him, and he had to follow him.
In the end, I came forward and asked Niu Benwang to briefly explain the direction and prepare us to go and see for ourselves. I also arranged a task for Niu Benwang, which was to stop sleeping and watch his old cow at home to see if anything was going on. React.
We borrowed three flashlights from the Niu family and dragged Zhang Wei, who was reluctant and wanted to keep guarding the cow. We three people from other villages, unfamiliar with the place, took the flashlights and headed towards the dam about three miles outside the village. go.
Fortunately, Niu Benwang made it clear. After leaving the village, follow the path that turns to the left. There are no forks in the road and go straight. Not far away, you can see a piece of dripping water. That is the reservoir lake blocked by the dam. It used to be A field.
Where there is a fork in the road, one side leads to the river embankment downstream, and the other side is in the direction of the river dam.
Zhang Wei and I were walking side by side, and Zhang Wei's delivery guy was following behind us. There were only three of us on the narrow dirt road, and the flashlight's halo of light swaying slightly as we walked.
This place is not too far from the water. It is a place with fertile water and strong soil, and the wild grass grows more abundantly than around our village. For people who raise cattle, these are natural feed grounds.
Isn't there a saying that says a person can't be rich without external wealth, and a horse can't be fat without night grass? It's said that these wild grasses are soaked in dew, and animals like cattle and horses can gain weight if they eat them.
The moon is very big tonight. There is no flashlight around, and the light is very bright, but Zhang Wei is still frightened. From time to time, he is frightened by a roadside grave that suddenly comes into view. One sound.
So we walked non-stop along the way, which made Lang Hongyi look helplessly and said, "You grew up in the village. There are many more tombs in Luofengshan outside our village than this, okay?"
I was amused, looked at the dirt road under my feet and joked, "That's our village, when will it become your village?"
