The old cow had originally rested at the Yang Family's side. It was gluttonous and would sometimes go to the river bank to eat young grass when there was nothing to do. Although the taste was not as good as the ones in the space, it was still better than nothing.
After sending the raging flames to the Yang Family area to guard the gate, it stayed behind at the construction site.
Bai Xiao brought a bunch of grass to the construction site.
It was still dark, about six o'clock or so, and the night in the country was especially dark, and they could only walk by their senses.
At the construction site, the kitchen was already lit up. They needed to cook dinner for more than twenty people.
Bai Xiao went around the kitchen to look for the old cow. The shed built for the old cow was completely empty, just by guessing that the old cow had gone to the river bank to look for food.
He followed the old cow to the place where he usually went, but before he could find her, he heard someone talking by the river.
"Hey, what tripped me?"
"Keep your voice down. Do you want to call for help?"
"I didn't do it on purpose. Didn't I trip over it?"
"Hurry up, what are you talking about?" "After a while, when all the workers on the other side have woken up, all of today's work will be for nothing."
It was the voices of Mrs. Bai and Bai Defu.
Bai Xiao secretly followed behind the two of them, and not far away, they could vaguely see a huge body of a person eating grass by the river.
"Heavens, how is this cow so big?"
Mrs. Bai cried out in surprise. She had never seen an old cow before, she thought that he was like Li Chang's family's old cow, but never did she expect him to be so much bigger than Li Chang's family.
"He can't really help Yang Family open up such a wasteland?"
Bai Defu had seen the old cow before, and it had happened more than once. He knew very well what the situation at the riverside was like before, it had only been a short while, and it had already revealed by the cow.
Mrs. Bai said happily: "If this cow becomes ours in the future, not only can it help us plow the fields at home, when we are helping others, it can also be used as plough for them.
"Cut the crap, hurry up and take the bull."
Bai Defu carried Mrs. Bai and the two girls, and slowly walked towards the old cow.
The old cow sensed that someone was coming and merely glanced at them before continuing to eat her own grass.
Its owner was too stingy. It took several days for him to make some delicious grass for it to eat. This grass didn't taste good at all. The old cow's mouth almost lost its taste for food.
"Boss, if there's no rope attached to this cow's nose, how can we tie it?"
"Stupid, don't you have a rope? Put it on. "
Bai Defu was afraid of the old cow, hence he kept it to a distance and let Mrs. Bai go forward to catch it.
Mrs. Bai was a few steps away from the old cow, so she tied the rope around the old cow's body. Once, she swung the rope on the ground and hit the old cow's body.
"Put the rope on the horns."
"I, I don't dare to go over there. It's too scary."
"What are you afraid of? It doesn't eat people. Come closer. "
Mrs. Bai went closer. The old cow suddenly turned its head and looked at Mrs. Bai with its lantern-like eyes.
Mrs. Bai was so scared that she fell to the ground, "Boss, I'm afraid."
Bai Defu muttered an incantation, took the rope and threw it twice to the old cow.
It had to be said that his skills were better than Mrs. Bai's, and he had gotten himself into trouble so quickly.
He tried to pull her towards him.
The Old Cow felt uncomfortable and with a light push, Bai Defu was sent flying.
Bai Defu who was sent flying fell into the water with a splash.
When Mrs. Bai saw his husband fall into the water, he hurriedly climbed up from the ground in fright.
"Head, how are you doing?"
Mrs. Bai stood by the side of the river, looking at the rippling river surface.
He lifted his ox-like hooves and realized that they were a little short. He glanced at the sky, actually wanting to see if there were any horns on its head. However, its eyeballs were too low, and its horns were too tall to see them.
However, he felt that horns were longer than hooves.
As a result, they only heard Mrs. Bai's cry of surprise as she was pushed into the water by the bull's horn.
Just as Bai Defu came out of the water, he saw a black thing flying towards him.
Before he could react, he was thrown into the water again.
Seeing this, Bai Xiao jumped out from the darkness and patted the old cow's head.
"Well done."
"Moo ~" The old cow called out to Bai Xiao for credit.
"This is for you. Go ahead and eat it."
The old cow's eyes lit up when he smelled it, before Bai Xiao put it down and started to eat.
A worker had already gotten up from the other side of the shed. Hearing a sound coming from the other side, he ran over.
"What's wrong? What happened? "
"I don't know. I just heard someone shouting, so I came over to take a look. I only saw the old cow by the river."
Bai Xiao opened her eyes and lied.
"Is there a thief who steals cows?" Dingchu's wife, has your family's cow registered in the town yet? "
"Register? "What record?"
"All cattle farmers must be registered in the local town and must not be killed. If they are dead, they must report to the town and report the death of the ox."
"So troublesome?"
Bai Xiao looked at the surface of the water. She finally understood why Bai Defu and his wife came out on such a cold day, to actually think about her cow.
The old cow had really let them off easy.
"Help, help!"
Bai Defu finally emerged from the water with great difficulty. The winter water was bone-chilling cold, but luckily, the weather was a little cloudy these two days and the sun did not rise.
Sunrise morning is always frosty, the water will freeze, that is freezing.
"Who's in the water?"
"Could there really be a thief who steals cows? "Brothers, get ready."
The workers behind him quickly turned back to grab the fellows, ready to catch the thieves.
Bai Defu pulled the dead Mrs. Bai out of the river with difficulty. Luckily, the water wasn't too deep.
At first he thought the river was deep, but then he realized it was no deeper than his waist.
Mrs. Bai was so cold that she could no longer speak, her entire body shivering uncontrollably.
The two finally made it to the shore, only to discover that there were quite a few people standing on the shore.
"Hello everyone."
Bai Defu stupidly greeted Bai Xiao and the others.
"Second Brother of the Bai Family, what are you two doing by the river so early in the morning?"
"We …" Bai Defu looked at herself and Mrs. Bai. Their clothes were all wet, and when the cold wind blew, they were almost frozen into ice sticks.
"Ladies and gentlemen, could you allow us to go back and change our clothes?"
"You guys aren't here to get an ox, are you?"
"Stealing what cattle? Who says we're here for a cow? " Mrs. Bai shouted.
Bai Xiao held her hands together, and looked at the two calmly: "Since you guys aren't here to steal an ox, then why did you guys come to my house?"
"We, we... We just came to take a look. "
"See if you can see the river?"
Bai Defu said: "When your second aunt heard that the water parsley by the river looks good, she wanted to come over and pick some. She thought that this was your place, and since you saw her earlier in the day, she came over early."
"Who would have thought that there would be such a big cow by the river. Seeing how we pushed ourselves into the river without any warning, we were almost frozen to death in the middle of winter." Xiao, just let us go back and change our clothes. If we continue to freeze like this, things will get worse. "
