Xiao Jiuzai carefully inspected the cow, including its teeth, nose, belly, tail, hooves, and even the rump and eggs. Then he raised his head and said doubtfully: "This doesn't seem to be raised by anyone."
Cow, is it a bison in the mountains?"
Such a healthy cow was a considerable fortune at that time. The owner would usually put a mark on it so that it could be easily identified and retrieved if lost, such as a notch on the cow's ears, a unique mark on the cow's shoulder or butt.?
But there were no marks on this cow, and it didn't look like a domesticated animal.
Tailuo stepped forward and said: "Young master, be careful. If you are really not a domesticated child, I might be against you."
Xiao Jiu: "No, I think it's quite well-behaved!" This tone was almost like talking about kittens and puppies. The cow seemed a little reluctant, but it still barked softly in a cooperative manner.
It seemed like he understood.
Tailuo leaned over and looked at the bull's nose and said, "The adult bull has no trace of a nose ring. It really doesn't look like it is domesticated."
Xiaojiu: "I just checked the cow's nose, and it was indeed not penetrated. Do you think there are bison in the mountains in this area?"
The green cow muttered in his heart: "I also wore a nose ring back then, and the nose ring later was still an artifact! But now my cultivation has completely changed, and the artifact has long been integrated into the form and spirit, and it will not leave those marks of disability.
, of course you can’t see it.” But at this moment, since the master ordered it to be a bison, it could not refute.
Tailuo pondered: "I have never heard of bison in the mountains and fields in this area. But if you go deeper into the mountains, you might not know. This place is at the junction of Luliang Mountain and Yinshan Mountain, and further north it is
It is a vast wilderness, with many animals and beasts in the steep and deep mountains. It is said that in ancient times, there was a king of wilderness, and monsters were haunted."
Xiaojiu: "Then it ran out of the mountains?"
Tailuo: "I have never seen what a bison looks like, but it looks like a domestic cow. There is a possibility that it is a calf that was lost since it was a child and ran to the mountains. It grew up in the mountains and now runs down the mountains.
I'm lucky that I wasn't eaten by a wild beast in the mountains."
Xiaojiu's eyes lit up: "According to etiquette and tribal rules, if it is truly an ownerless wild animal, what's the point?"
Tai Luo: "It's like prey. Whoever gets it will own it. If it's in someone's private land, it's equivalent to the owner's property."
Xiaojiu clapped his hands and said: "It appears here, we have bought this land."
Tailuo was also very happy and said with a joyful smile: "Young master, it really matters what you say. If this cow appears here without an owner, it will be yours." After thinking about it, he said, "If it is a wild animal that grew up in the mountains, it will be yours."
The animal still needs to be domesticated, and we must first find a way to get it back."
Xiao Jiu seemed to suddenly remember something, and stepped forward to inspect the cow again. Finally, he picked up the cow's ears and looked inside for a long time. The green cow was so frightened by what he saw. This little look in his eyes was also...
It was so sharp, no part of his body was missed, and now his ears were pulled and he was peering in like this, who wouldn't be frightened?
But Qingniu had no choice but to stand there and let Xiaojiu look at his ears. Even Tailuo next to him was amazed, thinking that this cow was really docile in front of Xiaojiu.
Xiaojiu remembered what the mysterious man in Ge Yi said. An expert is an expert. Could it be that he had predicted what would happen today? He was looking for pekoe inside and outside the cow's ear, but unfortunately he couldn't find it.
Xiaojiu grabbed another handful of tender grass, put it in front of the green cow's mouth, patted the cow's back and said, "Can you go back with me? I'll build a shed for you to live in. You can avoid the wind, rain and cold winter, and you can stay in the wild when there is no food.
I can feed you, you just need to do some work for me. Wandering in the mountains like you might end up being killed by wild beasts, and you might even be caught by bad guys and killed for meat..."
Tailuo couldn't help but laugh. After all, Xiaojiu had the temper of a child, and he could talk so enthusiastically to a beast. The beast couldn't understand human words. But the green cow seemed to really understand, and nodded softly.
He let out a soft cry, stretched out his nose and inhaled the smell of the tender grass. Xiaojiu grabbed the grass and teased Qingniu as he walked down the mountain, and Qingniu followed behind him.
The master and servant took the green cow back in this way, and met a neighbor on the way. Someone asked: "What a beautiful, healthy cow, where did it come from?"
Before Xiaojiu could answer, Tailuo spoke first: "Newly bought! We also bought a piece of land on the mountain. We want to buy a cow to open up wasteland."
After returning to the other courtyard, Tailuo summoned the farmers of the farm to talk about the new mountain fields, assigned tasks to each family, and organized people to build a cowshed in the front yard and placed the "wonderful cow" here.
, and there is an ox cart next to it. In fact, there are both oxen and carts in other courtyards, but the oxen are left with the farmers to graze and plow the fields, so Xiaojiu does not need to take a cart when he goes out on weekdays.
Now that I have a new healthy cow, the young master can ride in the car, but the cow also has to plow the mountains and fields. Now that the land has not been opened up and the houses have not been built, the cow can be raised in another courtyard for the time being.
In the evening, the boy servant who was responsible for taking care of the green cow came to report again that the newly brought cow by the young master was not eating or drinking, and the boy servant didn't know what to do. The green cow seemed to be a tender one in Xiaojiu's hands.
It was guided down the mountain by grass, but it was just showing off and smelling the smell of grass along the way. In fact, it didn't eat a bite. It was the same after arriving at the other courtyard.
The green cow was lying in a temporary shed. There was a stone trough in front of it, with some dusty hay in it. There was also a broken pottery basin with a chipped mouth next to it, which contained water. It was watery.
The cow blinked its eyes, feeling aggrieved.
It is normal for Qingniu to feel wronged. In terms of cultivation, it can be regarded as a demon king in the realm of transformation. Where can it be without being a well-known big shot? In the past, it pulled carts for Dayu and made contributions to the world's flood control. As a disciple of the Immortal Palace,
, the mount of the Supreme Master, all the people he associates with are immortals from heaven to earth, how come he ends up here and suffers such injustice?
This water comes from ditches, not dew; this grass is withered and rough, is it food? And it can't eat anymore! At this moment, the master's voice suddenly sounded in my mind: "Qingniu, are you eating it?"
Have you forgotten the beginning? Being tempered by this worldly experience is exactly the kind of practice you should have achieved. So what if you are reborn? If you can't even do this little thing well, how can you say you have great supernatural powers? You will eventually know this in the future.
What a fate!”
What Qing Niu was most afraid of was this voice, and what he was most convinced of was this voice. He immediately lowered his head. Not only did he look honest, but he also really started to be a cow again. At this time, Xiao Jiu walked into the yard and said: "This is to drink from the clear spring and eat tender food."
Ya's Wild Cow, please bring in some tender grass, stir-fry some bean sprouts and mix it in. All the food, including the water, must be cleaned and let me feed it."
Stir-fried beans and feed the cows? That is the treatment only given to noble families and horses on the battlefield, but since the master ordered it, Tailuo asked the servant to do it. He replaced it with clean and tender grass and mixed it with a handful of freshly fried beans.
, the troughs and pottery basins were cleaned, and clean drinking water was brought, and Xiao Jiu Gongzi was asked to feed the cows himself.
The next scene made several servants look straight in the eyes, secretly thinking that the young master is the young master, it is really amazing. Xiaojiu grabbed a handful of fried beans and put it in front of Qing Niu's mouth. Qing Niu stretched out his tongue to lick the beans from the palm of his hand.
As for food, Xiaojiu patted the cow's head gently with his hand, and the cow actually lowered its head to drink water. There was no need for Xiaojiu to feed it himself, the cow had already started eating and drinking normally.
It seems that people have noble people, and cattle also have noble cows, and noble cows only obey noble people; or that people have strange people, and cows have strange cows, and strange people get strange cows. This is the sigh of the onlookers, but they don’t know that Qing Niu has just been scolded by the master.
In other words, it was enlightenment and the attitude has been corrected.
Of course, Qingniu knew that the reason why the master sent him here to "cultivate" was because of the child named Xiaojiu in front of him. No matter how he looked at Xiaojiu, he was just an ordinary child, without any cultivation or other abilities.
The hidden origin is not that a monster takes the form of a monster or an expert appears in the form of a child.
But on the other hand, Qingniu could also feel that this child was extraordinary. If he met this child in the mountains when he was still ignorant and had not yet fully developed his intelligence, he might have been taken away by him for no reason.
There is no need for the master to explain in advance. When it sees Xiao Jiu, it feels close to Xiao Jiu. It feels that this child is different, and Xiao Jiu is indeed outstanding.
Not to mention that it has been reprimanded by the master at this moment and has started to lower its head and act like a cow. Even if the master did not speak just now, it is probably willing to eat when Xiaojiu comes over. With this thought in mind, he chewed the beans in his mouth and lowered his head to drink a sip of water.
, I had a few more mouthfuls of tender grass, and it actually became more and more fragrant as I ate it. It was the taste of the past that I had not seen for a long time, as if I had returned to the beginning of my practice.
The green cow lives in another courtyard, and unknowingly it is willing to stay with Xiaojiu. But there is only one bad thing about Xiaojiu. After getting up every day, he goes straight to the cowshed and grabs his two paws.
His ears looked left and right, and Qing Niu felt his heart tremble every day as he wondered what his hobby was.
Three days later, everyone in the other courtyard once again saw the strangeness of the green bull and Xiao Jiu.
That afternoon, Tailuo lit a fire in the yard, inserted a copper solder into the fire and roasted the tip red, and then went towards the green cow. Since the cow was brought back from the wild, he could not
If it gets lost again, it will leave its own mark on it.
Qingniu saw Tailuo coming over with a red-hot copper solder, and couldn't help but panic. With its cultivation level, it certainly wouldn't be afraid of Tailuo holding a "violent weapon", but in this case, was it resisting?
Or was it resisting? It suddenly sneezed, and then saw the drill in Tailuo's hand fly out and plunge into the courtyard wall behind.
This was just a little trick played by the emperor. Tailuo, who was holding the drill, and the two boy servants next to him were all unharmed. One of the boy servants ran over and tried his best but could not pull out the drill. At this time, Xiaojiu walked up to
The people in the courtyard asked: "Uncle Tailuo, what are you doing?" 8
