Chapter 30: Slaughtering the Cow
Fixed He real so-called "dragnet" four people, grandpa heart is also considered to have fallen a stone, went home and ate dinner, things did not say with my grandmother, grandpa has not come out of that kind of atmosphere like the Infernal Affairs, but who would have thought that in their own side of the child acting as a spy of that "people! But who would have thought that the "man" who acted as a spy at his side would be a corpse at the back of his head?
After dinner, my grandfather once again to the barn, He real people have been waiting over there, after seeing my grandfather asked: "four people are done? Now this atmosphere you have to take it easy, don't this side of the matter has just been fixed, that side of your big-character poster again posted."
"Don't worry, the two people I found are very reliable, Mr. He, you said that you want me to come back after fixing the people, what's the matter?" Grandpa asked.
"Slaughtering cows." Real He frowned and looked at my grandfather and said.
"Cow slaughter?!" Grandpa's eyes almost stared out.
"Yes, Morechen, I must discuss this matter with you, make a decision yourself." Real He said.
No matter what matter is said, even if he asked grandpa to donate all the food in the house right now, he wouldn't even blink an eye, but slaughtering cows, he didn't dare to promise, not having experienced that era, he didn't know how important cows, the most faithful slaves of mankind, were in that era.
Plowing, plowing, driving, now seems to be a modern tractor can handle things, before can be cattle do, the production team this big yellow cattle, or at that time almost a village of people to get together to buy a, weekdays everyone is as a baby as raised, after all, some of the heavy work can be done, but definitely not the efficiency of the cattle, and the cattle do not eat, it is only to eat grass, but can be given to everyone in exchange for a bumper harvest. The first thing you need to do is to get a good harvest for everyone.
Locked head of the village child production team is a cow, but definitely more than other villages of the bull are able to do, busy farming time, everyone is lined up, other villages and even take a bigger than the head of the bull to exchange grandfather did not agree, or else the real person can have a specialized child's work, that is, cattle herding?
That is, more than a month ago, there is a good news, that is to make the whole village happy, that is, the cow calf, which in the lock of the village is definitely a big deal, the calf is alive and well, that grows up no matter whether it is to sell money or also arable land, are all beneficial to the whole village of the matter.
Slaughtering cows? Rao is my grandfather in the lock head of the village in the village to say no two dare not make a decision, after all, this is really will cause public anger thing!
However, since the real man He put forward, Grandpa did not know how to say, hold half a day, the man held out a sentence: "must kill the cow?"
He real people also know the advantages and disadvantages, more know why grandpa so hesitant, sighed: "more Chen, but where there is a little way, I will not let you so difficult."
"For what?" Grandpa's heart thumped, still asking such a sentence.
"I can't come out tonight because Li Guofeng will run if he knows my scent, looking for the four of you is the same as still bullying him for his carelessness, why? He is a ghost, you guys are human, as long as he doesn't want you guys to see him, you guys can't see him at all, if you can't see him, then even if there is a talisman, how can you stick it on Li Guofeng's body? So the premise is that you guys have to be able to see him, then you have to open your heavenly eyes, and to open your heavenly eyes you need cow tears." Realist He said.
"Bull tears?" Grandpa asked.
"Yes, if you drop cow tears in your eyes, you will be able to see the ghost." He Zhenran said.
"In addition to this, there is no other, may be other sects have other ways to open the eyes of heaven, but you also know, I followed my master to learn the way not a few years his old man sailed away, I did not learn too much, if my master his old man is still alive, on the Li Bold master three, Peach Wood Sword, that is definitely a snap of the fingers into the eighteen layers of hell. " He real people said.
"Your master will be life long can live, but also absolutely can not live this time to break the four old." Grandpa said silently.
"Right, so now I think about it, my master his old man at that time is not calculated that there will be such a day, so all refused to teach me things, but also let me if I can return to secularism, do not be a Taoist priest in the Supreme Goddess of Mercy, and if I can get down from the mountain as soon as possible, I will get down from the mountain as soon as possible." Real He also sighed.
After saying that, Grandpa was silent, and Real Person He also didn't say anything, no matter how much the two people pulled, they couldn't get around the issue that was in front of them, slaughtering the cow.
"Slaughter! I'll take the blame for anything that happens! At worst, I Guo Ganchen will be the cow for everyone next year!" Grandpa spat and said.
"Slaughter the big ones and slaughter the little ones?" Mr. He asked.
Grandpa made a difficult decision, one decision had to be followed immediately by another, and finally, he said to Real He, "You take this one."
"Let's go with the calf, this cow has been around for a long time, but it doesn't look old at all, besides I've been feeding it for a long time, so I'm a bit attached to it. In case the calf can't make it to the battlefield next year during spring plowing, it's also a troublesome matter, we can't really use you as a cow." He real person said.
"Cheng, I'll go find the knife. We'll do it in the afternoon, tell the villagers that the cow died of disease, fool around first, we can't have everyone understand us." Grandpa said, finished and went back home, because I have a pig-killing knife at home.
Took the knife back, He Zhenzhen is already boiling hot water, even if it is a calf, slaughtered, but also want to eat meat, after all, that era is too scarce, not that sympathy flood on the line, sympathy can be eaten as a meal?
Grandpa sharpened the knife, He real people boil water, later to kill, in the village at that time, the most valuable object, the plow ox, for a few drops of cow tears, licking the tears of love for a dead person, which sounds a little ironic.
Everything is ready, the calf does not know he is going to die, still in the old cow side of the joyful play, and the old cow seems to know what like, froze looking at He Zhengen.
He really lit a few children incense, inserted in front of the calf, the whole person kneeled down on the ground said: "the next life into a good birth, you die, I will as you are a human being as read the mantra of the past life for you to pray for blessings, don't blame me, everything is in order to save people."
Grandpa did not kneel, his heart is still uncomfortable now, He Zhengen's behavior in his eyes, although he admits that He Zhengen is a compassionate person, but to put it bluntly, this is when the bitch still want to set up a house of cards, are going to kill people, kneel down, is there any meaning?
He Zhengrong got up and said to his grandfather, "Go, kill it, remember, kill it in front of the old bull, it's heartbroken for its own child, the tears that come out carry the bull's essence blood, only with this, can you open the eyes of heaven."
"It has to be so cruel?" Grandpa asked.
"En, go ahead, I don't want to." Real He said.
Grandpa picked up the knife, pulled over the calf and stabbed it in the throat in front of the old bull, and this calf would quickly die of gas. He really couldn't bear it in his heart, grandpa was, in his bones, a very kind person.
But in order to take revenge, in order to finish off that Li Guofeng, he had to be like this, beasts, even the best beasts, can't be more valuable than human beings, human nature itself is selfish.
And the cow at this time, began to struggle violently screaming more than, has been and then stirrups, want to save this imminent death of the calf, the cow's nose bolt to the cow's nose are pulled out of the blood, grandpa looked even more uncomfortable, but he is still gritting his teeth, to the cow's neck, to be stabbed in.
Just at this time, the cow that was struggling just now, suddenly quiet, it plopped, front legs on the ground, this is a very humane action.
This was kneeling!
At the same time, tears began to rustle down from the cow's wide eyes.
"More ministers stop!" He Zhengen shouted, moved quickly and ran to the cow's side, took a small bottle, carefully caught the tears falling from the cow, after catching them for a while, He Zhengen closed the cap of the bottle, patted the cow's head and said, "They say that animals are psychic, it's bitter for you, don't blame me, if not, how can I keep your child?"
After saying this, he took down grandpa's knife and said, "Okay, no more cow slaughter."
Grandpa was confused from the moment the cow knelt down, not even knowing exactly what happened. He Zhen Zhen tied up the two cows and pulled Grandpa, who still didn't know what was going on, and said, "Gengchen, how can I kill the cows I fed myself? This is a life, just now I told you the words, why to say here, not I am cruel, but deliberately said in front of the old cattle, this animal, in addition to not open his mouth to speak human language, other than what will not? What I want is to scare it to tears, that's all."
"That's all?" Grandpa incredible, just made up how much determination before ready to open the knife?
"It's done! Well morechen, take a breather, look at your ugly face!" Real He laughed.
Grandpa breathed a sigh of relief, without realizing it, on a cold day, his clothes were wet with sweat, from the cow's eyes.
