Hearing the shopkeeper and guard leader's words, Xiao Wen felt a bit awkward.
After all, even though he possessed the Library of Heaven's Path, he could still access to all the knowledge in the world.
But he didn't know everything from the beginning.
If he wanted to know some knowledge, he would also need to spend time and effort.
Therefore, he could not be so bored as to open the super library and inquire about the habits of cattle.
It was also because of this that Xiao Wen found out the problems his caravan faced after the shopkeeper and the guard leader gave him this information.
"The children of the burly man know all of these things, but why don't you?" In fact, even Yang Xiu was amazed by Xiao Wen's ability to eat minced meat.
What could Xiao Wen say?
He couldn't tell them that the cattle he saw the most were those cows with black and white flowers and those ploughed cattle that were fattened up with fodder and were only waiting to be caught or stewed or roasted in the heat of the summer, right?
Fine! It was a Bamboo Mouse.
In the past twenty years, he hadn't seen anyone pull a carriage with an ox.
The whole country's farmland was cultivated by the same kind of tractor. Was there a need to rely on the slow-moving plow of the ox?
His family had planted an acre of land, and they had long since planted dozens of acre of land with tractors.
In those days, cows were used to produce milk or kill to eat meat. Except for the elderly, no one knew anything about cattle farming.
Compared to someone who was powerful, Xiao Wen was much more knowledgeable about raising cats.
"Is there really no way to solve this?" Xiao Wen shook his head, he didn't feel that this kind of thing was impossible to solve.
Thus, he opened up the super library and began to search for a guide.
"Got it!" After reading the information given by the library, Xiao Wen came up with an idea.
He said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, can I trouble you to go to the market and help me buy some copper ingots. "No need, just ten pounds is enough."
Xiao Wen knew that there was still a lot of money in the caravan. After all, they hadn't come here for trade. Even if he sold all two hundred kilograms of salt, he would still be able to buy ten kilograms of copper ingots.
Even if it was copper, it was still worth a lot to the Huns.
After that, the shopkeeper and a few waiters came back with ten Jin of copper, and Xiao Wen had the caravan guard lead a few people to the temporary bull pen.
"If the old cow doesn't drink water, can you forcefully drink water from it?" Yang Xiu knitted his brows as he spoke to Xiao Wen. The shopkeeper also nodded in agreement.
However, Zhuge Liang and the others had seen much of Xiao Wen's mysterious method. Their eyes were filled with bewilderment, but they didn't agree with the duo's doubts.
In the past, it was not successful because the head of the cow was not strong enough. Once one had enough strength, no matter how stubborn the cow was, under the control of this power, one would have to drink water even if they didn't want to.
Along with Xiao Wen's confident words, the sound of an ox's hiss came from the ring.
Just from that sound, one could tell that the cow was being subjected to the most terrible torture.
All of them were shocked and quickly ran into the ring.
One of the steers was tied to a shelf, only exposing a large head. A ferocious looking guard held a burning red copper bar in his hand and stabbed it into the cartilage between the two nostrils of the steed.
Amidst the green smoke, the oxen let out another miserable cry.
Its four hooves kicked with all their might, and since there was no place to put the force, the only thing it could do was shake its head around to reduce the pain.
There was also a small brass ring hanging from a cow's nose through a small hole made by a scald.
Upon seeing this sight, everyone was taken aback.
However, Guan Yu, who was in charge of slaughtering cows in his family, did not care at all.
He ran up and held the cow by the spine, making it even more unable to struggle.
And then Wan-Er ran over.
Right now, she was not the Great Tang's Prime Minister who had killed his way into the underworld with Wu Zetian. She was just a kind-hearted little girl.
Her heart was made of tofu, and she could not bear to see all the living creatures in the world suffer.
It was one thing if she didn't see the torture of wearing an ox's nose, but if she did, how could she not stop it?
"Sir, sir. Ox is just too stupid. Don't punish it like that, okay?"
Xiao Wen felt a pang in his heart as he looked at the teary eyes of Wan-Er beside him.
He had no choice but to hold Wan-Er high up and say, "Fine! Then I'll think of another way. "
Thus, Xiao Wen gave a meaningful glance to everyone around him, who immediately understood what he meant and left.
However, that night, the screams of the cow rang out all over the place, one mile away from Xiao Wen's campsite. It continued for an entire night.
The next morning, Guan Yu sat in the carriage. He had accumulated a lot of melanin in his eye sockets, and he looked very tired.
Last night, Xiao Wen asked Guan Yu and a few other servants to put on a nose ring for the cow, one mile away from their campsite.
Although the prairie was in high latitudes, and winter was short and long, it was tiring for Guan Yu and the others to put the cattle on their noses in one night.
But the results of this approach are obvious.
Now all they had to do was tie a rope to the snout of the cow and tie it to the car, and the cows would follow one another and pull the cart forward.
As for Wan-Er, she was locked in a carriage by Xiao Wen to study.
As long as she didn't come out, she wouldn't be able to see the miserable state these steers were in.
Xiao Wen knew that Wan'er had once become a qualified politician in history.
Therefore, as long as Wan-Er grew up, she would understand that animals had to serve people. The more convenient it was, the better.
If he continued to spoil her, it would only cause trouble for the animals.
Even in the future, a slightly more formal movement protection organization would know to sterilize cats.
Only those wild fowls like the wild women's rights would feel that cats could not be sterilized and cows could not wear a nose ring.
Due to Guan Yu's busy night last night, Xiao Yuewen didn't need to train him this morning, so he wanted him to take a good rest.
However, the sound of the caravan was too noisy, it was impossible to let them sleep peacefully.
Helpless, he could only take a gourd filled with Xiao Wen's sports drink and sit at the edge of the carriage, staring at the caravan in a daze.
"Hey!" You did well last night, but today these cows are all very obedient. " Sun Shangxiang, who had just finished a long run, returned to the car.
She used the towel on her neck to wipe off the sparse sweat on her forehead and smilingly said to Guan Yu.
"I have a name, not 'Hello'." Guan Yu said coldly to the wild girl.
"Humph!" Hearing this, Sun Shangxiang proudly raised her chin and said: "It's your honor to talk to me. You should be proud. "
"You can't beat me."
Guan Yu was actually very natural in other areas than fighting.
However, being natural did not mean it was easy to bully.
Indeed, she was naturally proud and arrogant. After Sun Shangxiang proudly said those words to Guan Yu, the natural words actually made Sun Shangxiang speechless.
