Gu's "Killing Cattle"

Rhubarb doesn't work.

After a serious illness, "Dahuang Ghost" became weak. Not only can you not pull a plow, drag a rake or drive a car, but even standing for a long time will make your limbs tremble, as if a gust of wind could blow it down. Not only that, but also the eyes became turbid, and the eyes in the corners of the eyes were all pimples, like dried salt and alkali on the edge of the earthen basin. The fur of the whole body is embarrassed because of poor blood circulation, and it has completely lost its luster ... In short, the "rhubarb ghost" is dying and has become a rotten and useless dying cow.

Think about how magnificent "Dahuang Gui" was in those days. A burly man with golden fur and sparkling eyes like two burning bells. At work, you are more energetic and arrogant. Another ploughshare and three cows are still talking to each other. "Dahuang Ghost" is alone, pulling his posture and breaking his hoof, but pulling a plow like running water will stop when he walks. And it's very stable and comfortable. I haven't caught my breath after practicing for a long time.

By the time Laigui took over the work of the village breeder, the "Dahuangcuo" had already been beaten, from a calf to a veritable "Cuo Niu Zi".

Seeing such a mighty and energetic bull, Laigui's heart is like the joy when his wife gave birth to a big-headed son. He led "rhubarb dog" out of the bullpen and turned three times. He looked around, touched here and patted there. He was happy from ear to ear and boasted, "Good cow! What a good cow! "

Needless to say, "the queen of rhubarb" plows, rakes and drives crops. What is particularly lovely is that it is also familiar with human nature. One year, there was a "green-headed" novice in the team who wanted to drag "rhubarb" into the field to farm. When he came to your place, he was a impetuous commodity, with no hair on his mouth and unstable work. It's a hundred grudges to ask him to order rhubarb. But "beating gongs to sell sugar, each tube is a thread", your breeder just feeds the cows and can't do anything else. Besides, who stipulates that young drivers cannot use rhubarb bottles? No choice but to watch him drag the rhubarb away.

At night, the stupefied youth dragged the "Dahuang Ghost" to the ground, cursing: "Who keeps what bears and cows? They don't listen at all. They lick their hooves at every turn. What a fucking beast! I am so angry! "

When Lai Gui heard that things were not good, he rushed out of the room and trotted to find "Dahuanggui". He was startled when he looked up. He saw the "rhubarb ghost" on his left and right backs, on his * * *, behind his ears, all horizontal and vertical, and some were still oozing blood, which was terrible. The "rhubarb ghost" stood there, shaking all over.

Lai Gui was so angry when he saw this terrible situation that his whole body's blood rushed straight to his forehead and swore at the dumb head: "You are not even as good as an animal. You weren't beaten by your father, son of a bitch, but you jumped out of a crack in the stone. Animals are also spiritual. Why are you so cruel to them? I am not afraid that one day I will be thundered and punished! "

I've never seen you so angry. I've always been honest. I opened my mouth a few times in surprise and didn't speak. Looks desperate, but dare not expect anything. Knowing that he was wrong, he turned and left in frustration. Seeing that he couldn't see it, he muttered to himself, "It's just an animal, just like his parents were beaten." It's crazy ... "

After being scolded, Lai Gui turned around again, kept turning around "Dahuanggui", stroking the scar gently with his hand, and he was so distressed that he shed tears.

"Dahuang Ghost" didn't even think about it. He silently leaned his head gently on the ghost's chest, shook his head and shook his tail twice, looking very wronged.

Laigui lovingly held "Dahuanggui" in her arms, looked down and burst into tears. Laigui's heart suddenly seemed to be stung by something, holding "Dahuanggui" for a long time.

From then on, Laigui respected and pitied Dahuanggui and took double care of it.

Lai Gui has been careful in raising cattle, which is obvious to all. Every time he pulls out "flowers and plants" from the Lvku River and thin white straw from the haystack, it is the root of his son. The father and son pick up the grass one by one, chop the "flowers and plants" into long strips, put them in baskets, and mix them with materials for the cows to eat. Even drinking cow's water is the "living water" of the old canal. The running water is warm and humid, so it is not easy for cows to get sick after drinking it.

Whenever people watch the scene of coming to your house to bow and draw water for cows, they can't help but admire from the heart.

What makes Lai Gui unforgettable all his life is that "Dahuanggui" actually saved his life at a critical juncture.

In the early morning of that day, a smashed calf ran out of the farmhouse in some village. It may be that I caught up with the "beating" at this point. Under the powerful hormones in the body, I have an irresistible desire and impulse to the opposite sex. It ran out silently, and somehow jumped into the east field of "Ten Heads" village.

Early that morning, I happened to come to your place, took out the whole circle of cattle, tied them to the stake at the eastern end of Tianjia, and let them breathe freely. I don't want the black calf to follow the smell of the cow and aim at a heifer. One minute it shook its head and wagged its tail at the heifer, and then rubbed its mouth close to the heifer's mouth. Seeing that the heifer didn't dislike him, he pushed his luck, sneaked around the heifer's crotch, put his head into his thigh, twitched his nose and smelled it.

The heifer was teased by it for a while, but she couldn't hold on. Her hind legs curled up and she exhaled urine.

Where will the black calf give up this godsend? His eyes suddenly widened, but he shamelessly stretched out his plump lips, stretched and contracted his gray tongue, and licked the urine spilled by the heifer. At the same time, he tilted his mouth from time to time, rolled up his plump upper lip, and "Cleisthenes" let out a coquettish and quick silly shout.

At this time, the "Dahuang Ghost" is nearby. He witnessed the whole process of the poor performance of the black calf, shook his head disapprovingly, and hung high as if nothing had happened.

The "rhubarb ghost" was beaten on an egg several years ago, and the hormones in the body have faded. Although there have been adolescent agitation, it seems to be a very distant thing, leaving few traces in my mind, and I have completely lost my curiosity and desire for the opposite sex when I was young, which can be described as "inner peace." So it is difficult to understand that the black calf is flirting with the heifer, even almost obscene.

The black-rolled calf was seduced by the meekness of the heifer. It can be said that the coquetry in the body is as strong as fire. It kicked its nose and face, stared obsessively at the heifer's * * *, suddenly lifted its two forelimbs and jumped up, and the "guy" between its legs also took the opportunity to explore.

At first glance, this is not good. You just played six-eyed monkey. That's your business, and I'm too lazy to ask. Now it's "anticlimactic, you treat me like a sick cat", which is actually bullying people. Your skeleton is big and heavy, riding on someone else's "little girl" and committing violence under my nose. If I don't give you some color to see see, I am not a "rhubarb"!

Just in time for the * * * period, Xiaohua Niu made a gesture of completely accepting the black calf.

The guy sticking out of the black calf's thigh is long and hard, and he is about to poke the sensitive part of the heifer. "I can't stand it!" The "Dahuang Ghost" was furious. It opened its posture and gave the little black guy a heavy blow.

As luck would have it, Laigui was pouring cow dung from the cowshed when he passed by. He saw the black guy on Xiaohua's body and shouted, "No!" I rushed over with a bamboo broom, and the guy who * * * shouted at the black man just suddenly-maybe some people don't understand, Xiaohua is catching up with the * * * period, and just a very strong calf comes to "make love" and doesn't need to make anything. Isn't it good that lanterns are hard to find?

But from the point of view of eugenics, you are wrong.

At that time, whenever adult cows catch up with the * * * period, they will be taken to the commune veterinary station and bred by specialized fine-bred cows. That kind of cow was selected by experts from different nationalities and bred after several rounds of "hybridization". Generally, breeding cattle are taller than ordinary bulls, with well-proportioned bones, not to mention the spirit of coat color. It is also necessary for special personnel to carefully feed according to the formula in order to inherit the genes-to plant good seedlings.

Besides, the black guy was about to achieve something good when he was suddenly hit by an expensive broom and a tingle slipped down. At that time, it was annoyed and hated, and it was furious. It turned around and flew into a rage at the enemy who ruined his good deeds. When I came to you, I saw something bad and quickly avoided it. When we tripped, I fell to the ground. Where would a black man miss such a good chance of revenge? He turned around, lowered his head and took a pair of hard corners to pick the expensive ones. Lai Gui had no time to get up, so he resigned himself and closed his eyes helplessly.

At this critical juncture, suddenly a deep scream accompanied by the breaking sound of the stake suddenly sounded, and the "Dahuang Ghost" struggled to break free from the fetters of the reins and resisted the black guy's head with two thick and sharp horns. The black guy's * * * was instantly scratched with two blood stains, screaming and being defeated.

Laigui broke out in a cold sweat and didn't get up for a long time. "Dahuang Ghost" slowly leans over, gently leans his head on your nearest chest, and the ghost catches its two corners before getting up. He hugged the head of the "Dahuang Ghost" and looked at the gentle eyes of the "Dahuang Ghost" but began to cry. Lai Gui choked and said, "You are my savior. I don't know which life I have been blessed with, so I have the fate of my father in this life. " Lai Gui has regarded "Dahuanggui" as his other son.

How many years have passed, Thirty Waves came to Gui You at the age of 30, and now his hair is gray, and he is about to reach the age of knowing his destiny.

The illness of "Dahuang Ghost" came too suddenly. I don't know what happened overnight, my whole body trembled, my mouth was sticky, and my expression suddenly drooped. After reporting to Captain Gendou, I went to the commune veterinary station and hired a big vet-afterwards I learned that he was Lao Liu. After seeing it, the veterinarian prescribed a prescription and asked Laigui to go to the veterinary station to get Chinese medicine. After cooking, he separated the upper and lower teeth of "Big Jian Huang" with fresh mulberry strips with skin, and poured it with medicine every day. "Greater Jian Huang" was better later, but it has been greatly weakened. After feeling the cold again, it seems as if I have entered the twilight, and the fire of life may go out at any time.

In recent days, the number of people coming to the village has suddenly increased. Lai Gui didn't understand it at first, thinking that everyone came to the field because they were concerned about the collective or worried about our work of raising cattle. But after they came, they all wandered around the "rhubarb turtle" and said, "The thin camel is bigger than the horse, and the older the meat, the more chewy it is ..."

There are only cows in our field. Where are the camels and horses? Suddenly, your mind flashed, no way, they are playing the idea of "rhubarb", right? An ominous shadow hangs over my heart. No, I have to find a way. "Dahuang Ghost" worked hard for "Ten Heads" all his life and saved my life. Anyway, I have to leave a body for it after it dies, otherwise the greedy cats in the village will kill it and eat it, and I will be ashamed to see "rhubarb" when I go to the underworld.

At that time, it was stipulated that cattle, as an important production tool in rural areas, could not be disposed of casually. Killing cattle must be approved by the superior, and on-site inspection must be carried out by professionals at the veterinary station before approval. Only those who are old and unable to work can sign and report. One more thing, no matter what kind of cattle, no matter their age, if they are found to be infected with infectious diseases after death, they must not be killed. It must be reported to the epidemic prevention station by the veterinary station, and the epidemic prevention station will send someone to check, verify and sign, and then arrange a special person to supervise the burial of dead cattle at the scene. At that time, the commune had not set up an epidemic prevention station, and the task was shouldered by the veterinary station.

Lai Gui knows that it is Lao Liu who is in charge of this work at the veterinary station. He is tall, but his body is a little thin, but he is kind and has a kind heart.

So, Lai Gui thought about it all night, and made up his mind to make a fuss about Lao Liu in the early hours of the morning. But it can't bypass the captain's root fight-root fight is his nephew by the door, so it won't be too difficult for him.

I will not hesitate to consider this problem. I have to sound out Lao Liu first.

On this day, Laigui got up early in the morning and ran five or six miles to the gate of the commune veterinary station. Seeing the small door of the gate open, I walked in carefully, carrying a heavy bag in my hand.

He poked around from door to door, but most of the doors were closed because he came too early to go to work.

Laigui looked at each other from west to east before sneaking around the house, and the easternmost door was open. He saw his one eye, which happened to be Lao Liu. Because I have dealt with him before, Laigui recognized him at a glance. Run forward when you come, and prepare when you come, shouting "stationmaster Liu, stationmaster Liu". Seeing that people are so nice and look familiar, Lao Liu called Laigui in and kept saying that you can't be called "stationmaster". I am not a "stationmaster". Laigui carefully put his carry-on pocket into the hole in the wooden cabinet next to him and said with a smile, "How can you not be the stationmaster? Anyway, I will call you stationmaster Liu. " Lao Liu had to let him call.

Lao Liu is still laughing: "What are you doing in the early morning?"

Lai Gui thought that he hadn't introduced himself yet, and quickly said, "My name is Gui, and I'm a breeder in the village of ten people."

Lao Liu seems to suddenly understand: "Yes, you are the village guard who won the championship in the whole society cattle raising competition!" " "

Lai Gui smiled: "My name is not Lai, my name is Meng."

In fact, in Ten Men, people only know that he is called "Laigui" or "Laigui Brother" or "Laigui Uncle", but his surname is often ignored.

Lao Liu said that Comrade Lao Meng was sorry, so he reached out and shook hands with Lai Gui.

Laigui shrank his hand backwards-he was afraid that Liu, the stationmaster of others, thought his hand had been pricked, and Liu caught it.

Laigui realized that he was only on Lao Liu's shoulder and needed to lift his face to talk to others.

"You have something?" Liu looked at everyone and asked.

"Nothing ... Oh, yes, nothing can bother you!" He pointed to the pocket in the cupboard hole and said, "Those are two bottles of 62-degree Jingzhi Laobaigan. You have helped my village so much at ordinary times, so I haven't had a chance to come over, so today ... "

"Let's put the wine aside. You have to tell me what it is? "

So Laigui put his mouth close to Liu's ear and told Liu his plan in detail.

Seeing that Liu couldn't bear it, he told Liu in detail how the "Dahuang Ghost" had done so much for the village in the past twenty or thirty years, how obedient and how considerate. Finally, he told the story of how the "Dahuang Ghost" broke the stake in an emergency and tried his best to save himself. At this point, Lai Gui actually shed tears.

Laigui clenched his fists and begged Lao Liu: "Master Liu, you must try your best to fulfill ... please fulfill me, and your great kindness will never be forgotten."

Say, legs a soft will give liu knelt down.

Lao Liu hurried back to help him. He was really touched, but he said with a straight face, "Lao Meng, I know what you are thinking, but this matter is very serious. You have to let me think clearly. " He thought for a moment, then said, "But you have to let your village head come forward in this matter, so that it can be comprehensive." Now go back. If it succeeds, I will tell you in advance. "In the end, I don't forget to say," today's business is over. You've never come to see me. "Liu stared at Lai Gui's eyes again." Do you understand? "

"I understand, I understand." Laigui rushed to respond, reaching out his hands, grasping Liu's slender hands and shaking them hard. I'm not afraid to stab people myself this time.

Lao Liu picked up the wine from the cupboard hole and gave it to Lai Gui, so he pushed him out.

How can I get it back when I get to you? I said eagerly, "That's all I have. If you don't accept it, you will look down on me and won't help me. "

Lao Liu didn't want to pester him any more, so he turned his face and said, "You didn't listen to me. You didn't say anything you just asked! "

Seeing that Lao Liu was so sincere, I didn't want to fool him, so I had to take my bag and go back to the East Field, where I slept for a long time and my heart was still pounding.

Lao Liu didn't break his word. He sent a letter in advance, asking Laigui to report to the captain first, saying that the cow was ill and then came to the station. ...

Laigui reported to captain Gendou according to this polish, and Gendou really asked Laigui to go to the veterinary station. ...

For a long time in the sky, Lao Liu came to the "Ten Heads" East Field as promised. He was armed to the teeth, wearing a white hat, a big mask on his face and long latex gloves on his arms.

A lot of people have gathered in the venue, and people can't guess why they came to your place and asked the captain to say hello to everyone, and which play was sung.

Lao Liu asked Lai Gui to take the rhubarb out of the barn, put it on the chest of the rhubarb with a stethoscope, listened carefully, then opened the cow's mouth and looked at the tongue, then opened the eyelids of the rhubarb, and finally put the thermometer in the mouth of the rhubarb, so that Lai Gui held one end of the thermometer carefully.

Although everyone can't see all the expressions of Lao Liu, they guess his expression must be very dignified.

Time is up, Lao Liu asked Laigui to take the thermometer out of the cow's mouth. He laid it flat in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, he gave a cry of "Ouch" and pretended to be surprised and said, "I'm not right. My temperature is almost high. This cow has a plague and needs to be isolated quickly! " Also deliberately loudly reprimanded Lai Gui, "How did you become a breeder? How did you report to the station until now! "

The captain stamped his feet immediately: "What is this place? How did you get the plague? "

Lao Liu glared at the captain deliberately, and then roared, "Be sure to wear a mask and gloves. It is strictly forbidden for other cows, especially anyone, to touch it again to prevent cross infection! "

Everyone present was shocked and thought they were still waiting to kill it and eat meat. It seems that they can't eat any more!

The "Dahuang Ghost" finally passed away peacefully.

This time, Lao Liu was instructed by the stationmaster to supervise the aftermath of Dahuang.

He ordered people to put on masks and gloves, put "Big Jian Huang" on a cart, and dragged it to Dongdawa, so that people dug a deep pit and buried the body of "Dahuang Ghost". Finally, the captain specifically instructed the battle: "We must arrange someone to guard these two days, otherwise something will happen!"

It is said that "Dahuanggui" is buried underground, and this matter has passed.

Unexpectedly, on the third night, I don't know who it was, a group of people pulled out the buried cattle, dragged them to the Woods four miles southeast of the "Ten Heads" with a scooter, peeled the "rhubarb" overnight by the light of lanterns, and then distributed the meat to a group of people who participated in scraping and killing cattle. They went back to the village and distributed it to their relatives and neighbors. That night, almost all the people in the village ate delicious beef.

Who knows that the next morning, someone stabbed this matter into the commune. The club leader called the stationmaster of the veterinary station and Lao Liu, and Lao Liu had to report truthfully. The leader of the commune turned black and shouted angrily, "What a bold man! He didn't even want his life, and even dared to eat beef with plague and infectious diseases!" "Hurry up and arrange people around you and ask someone to investigate the' Ten Heads'. Be sure to find out who is responsible, and it must be hell!

This has not yet reached the "ten heads", but there is even more shocking news from the "ten heads": all the people who eat beef in the village are vomiting and diarrhea, and they are in a mess.

The commune leader suddenly collapsed in a chair, and Liu got a fright. Fortunately, people only care about the commune leader, and no one notices his panic.

Water under the bridge. Commune leaders quickly report to the county. On the one hand, the county mobilized almost all the medical personnel who could be mobilized, and gave infusion bottles to the patients with vomiting and diarrhea in the commune auditorium for pathological examination. Send someone to investigate the truth of the incident in order to make a final treatment.

Among the people who received the infusion, there was Laigui's son Genzhu, who was invited to eat beef by his good partner.

After repeated investigation and verification in the county, the final inspection result was that due to the hot weather, some people ate spoiled beef, causing acute enteritis.

Sure enough, the villagers were infused with infusion bottles and all recovered the next day.

This incident, because no one was killed, was afraid that such a thing would spread and hurt the face of local leaders, and finally it went away.

In the village, the "green head" who used to order rhubarb smacked his mouth and said regretfully, "It's a pity that I spit out all the delicious beef ..."

Ten heads came to your room in the East Yard and slept for three days and nights. When people saw him again, their eyes were sunken and they suddenly aged a lot.
