At a village market in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, a middle-aged farmer in camouflage clothing is leading his large buffalo and leisurely strolling through the market.
Walking in the bustling market, he greeted the stall owners he knew from time to time, or exchanged a few words.
The stall owners responded enthusiastically, but they were more likely to look at the big buffalo next to the farmer.
Mo Zhaoguang led the buffalo to visit the market.
It turned out,The farmer has been busy dating his buffalo recentlyHe couldn't look down on ordinary buffaloes, and after a few days, there was no buffalo worthy of him.
Paradoxically, no one ever made a mocking voice or questioned his self-confidence, and some businessmen made a special trip from other provinces for this cow, which was not unusual.
The merchant came to the bazaar in the dust, and he took the peasant and begged him to sell him the buffaloAnd willing to buy it for more than 10 times more than the market.
After hearing this, everyone suggested that farmers sell cattle, after all, ** is beautiful and the opportunity is rare, but I didn't expect the farmers to throw down such a sentence without thinking:"Not for sale, this is a sacred cow, a priceless treasure. ”
The boss of Guangdong bought cattle out of **.
How did a seemingly ordinary buffalo become a priceless treasure in the eyes of farmers?
The owner of this big buffalo is named Mo Zhaoguang, he is an ordinary farmer in Liuzhai Township, Nandan County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, he usually does farm work for a living, and his family conditions are very ordinary.
He and his wife Wei Xiu'e are busy in the fields all day long, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, and the husband and wife live a poor and simple life.
Accompanying him to work every day is the buffalo he delivered 10 years ago, which is a good farmer at home, and he is very energetic to plow the land with Mo Zhaoguang.
Buffalo ploughs. When Mo Zhaoguang gave birth to it, the petite and weak baby buffalo was very much loved by him, and the little buffalo's big watery eyes reflected Mo Zhaoguang's shadowLet him feel that this little guy is very spiritual.
Since then,Mo Zhaoguang takes care of the baby buffalo as if he is taking care of his own childrenHe ran to the cattle pen when he was fine, for fear that the little buffalo would be unwell.
In order to make the baby buffalo live comfortably, he always repairs and repairs the cattle pen to ensure that the cattle pen is well ventilated and the ground is clean and dry.
The little buffalo can not be ambiguous when eating and drinking, the forage is prepared by his own hands, the freshest and most tender of the day, he can't bear to feed the little buffalo with overnight grass.
Repair the cattle pen. The drinking trough should also be kept clean, he will clean it carefully every day, and even at night, Mo Zhaoguang has to get up to give the little buffalo a supper, the little buffalo eats happily, and he is also happy.
If the baby buffalo loses its appetite or is depressed, Mo Zhaoguang will also be in a hurry, and he will not have the heart to work during the day, and he will not be able to sleep at night.
Mo Zhaoguang is good to the little buffalo, the little buffalo seems to be able to perceive, it is also very affectionate to the owner, every time after a full meal, it likes to stick a stick to the owner with its body.
Time passed slowly, and the baby buffalo grew little by little, and now it has grown into a fat, strong, oily adult cow.
Mo Zhaoguang's adult buffalo.
Don't look at its strong and powerful appearance, but in fact it has an extremely docile personalityIt never bites, kicks, or hurts anyone, and the buffalo seems to be very sensible.
Its advantages are not only these, it is also particularly hard-workingPloughing is a good hand, this body's drive is like tireless, plowing efficiency and hard work.
For this buffalo, Mo Zhaoguang doesn't want to mention how much he likes it, he takes the buffalo wherever he goes, and the two of them are inseparable all day long, like a pair of affectionate father and daughter.
This made Wei Xiu'e very jealous, seeing that Mo Zhaoguang spent more time with her every day, it was better to spend more time with her own buffalo, which can be seenMo Zhaoguang has long regarded this buffalo as an important member of the family.
Mo Zhaoguang gets along with the buffalo day and night.
"If I look into its eyes, I will know what it thinks, and it will let me know in its way. ”What Mo Zhaoguang said was not an exaggeration at all.
One day, Mo Zhaoguang took the buffalo to work in the field as before, and suddenly the buffalo stood motionless, Mo Zhaoguang felt that this behavior was very abnormal, but he didn't know what the reason was for a while.
So the buffalo kept looking back at his master, snorting uncomfortably at him, his expression was also aggrieved, and a pair of pitiful eyes stared at Mo Zhaoguang.
At this time, Mo Zhaoguang caught the distress signal emanating from the buffalo's eyes, and he found that the buffalo raised a front hoof towards him many times.
Mo Zhaoguang helped the cow pull out the stones.
He hurriedly put down the tools in his hand, hurriedly ran to the buffalo, and gently lifted the buffalo's front leg to carefully check the difference.
Mo Zhaoguang realized that a sharp stone happened to be stuck in the front hooves of the buffalo, and part of the stone also cut the skin and pierced directly into the flesh.
Mo Zhaoguang was distressed, he carefully took out the stone, for fear of hurting his baby buffalo, and the buffalo suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.
It stopped humming, stamped its feet twice, waged its tail again, as if to thank its master, and then continued to plow the ground with its head down.
From this thing,Mo Zhaoguang found that he and this buffalo really had a heart, and it also made him sure that his buffalo had spirituality.
Mo Zhaoguang led his buffalo.
He is amazed that the buffalo is uncomfortable and will try his best to let him know and let him help solve itThis is indeed a buffalo with an IQ and ideas.
There is far more than one magical thing, which makes Mo Zhaoguang more sure that this buffalo is smart and spiritual, and there is also something that can make people's jaws drop.
Late one night a few years ago, when Wei Xiu'e got up at night, she accidentally found that the lights in her cowshed were on, she didn't think much about it, thinking that her husband forgot to go to the cowshed to turn off the lights before going to bed, so she turned off the lights.
Early the next morning, Wei Xiu'e was surprised to find that the lights in the cowshed were still on, and she thought about itI think it may be that my husband forgot to turn it off when he was feeding the buffalo in the middle of the night.
Mo Zhaoguang gives the cow a meal every night.
Because Mo Zhaoguang doted on this buffalo too much, he would wake up in the middle of the night almost every day to add forage to the buffalo, so it was very likely that Mo Zhaoguang forgot to turn off the lights after adding forage at night.
Wei Xiu'e is a person who is very good at living, although it doesn't take much electricity to turn on the lights all night, but she can't see such a waste.
So, his wife reprimanded him, and Mo Zhaoguang felt inexplicable:"Don't wronged me, I didn't go to the cowshed last night. ”This kind of thing he has never done, he resolutely can't admit it.
Later, because Wei Xiu'e had no conclusive evidence, and this matter was not a big deal, it passed like this.
Mo Zhaoguang's wife.
From that day on, the lights in the cowshed would come on in the middle of the nightAlmost every night, Mo Zhaoguang and his wife had to go to the cowshed and turn off the lights again.
The weird thing is,Soon after they turned off the lights and returned to their bedrooms, they found that the lights in the cowshed were on againThis made Mo Zhaoguang very worried, and he suspected that someone was thinking about his buffalo.
At night, Mo Zhaoguang followed the guy and came to the cowshed tremblingly, but he searched every corner, and found nothing else or people.
It's strange, how can the lights be lit without anyone or anything?
"Someone must be beating me up on the idea of a buffalo!”The more Mo Zhaoguang thought about it, the more panicked he became, this buffalo was his treasure.
Mo Zhaoguang himself.
Whether it was a thief who was going to steal the buffalo, or a bad guy who wanted to give medicine to the buffalo, Mo Zhaoguang couldn't let it go, and he was determined to catch the villain with his own hands and punish him severely.
That night, Mo Zhaoguang found a big thick stickBrave enough to come to the cowshed, I want to squat there quietly all night, and then catch a catch.
He crouched down in a corner of the cattle pen by the doorway, next to the steps leading to the door, and on the side of the doorframe, a long, thin line of light almost hung down to the ground, which was the switch of the light.
Such a switch is easy to control and cannot be done with a lot of forceYou need to pull down slightly to the bulb above your head will light up.
Mo Zhaoguang squatted in the cattle pen late at night.
The master squatted in his own cattle pen, this unprecedented thing made the big buffalo very puzzled, it came to the master and walked around a few times, saw that the master did not move, then returned to the seat and went to sleep peacefully.
In the second half of the night, Mo Zhaoguang, whose head was drowsy, heard a slight movement in the cattle pen, and he raised his eyes to take a closer look, but it was his own big buffalo getting up and walking around.
He breathed a sigh of reliefBut the next second he felt that something was wrong, and the buffalo turned his head and walked towards the door.
Mo Zhaoguang almost didn't dare to blink, he stared at the buffalo coming to the light line, tilting his head, gently holding the light line with his mouth, his head went down slightly, and with a click, the light in the cattle pen turned on.
This move of the buffalo made Mo Zhaoguang stunnedIt turned out that the person who lit the lamp in the middle of the night was actually his own big buffalo.
The buffalo that does not shine will turn on the lights.
Mo Zhaoguang was surprised and delighted, he never expected that the buffalo he raised was so smartNot only does it turn on the lights, but the buffalo turns them off in the same way after feeding at night.
In order to verify that his observation was correct, he squatted in the cowshed for several nights in a rowI also figured out the law of the buffalo turning on the lights.
That is, if the buffalo is hungry at night, it will turn on the light to eat, and then turn off the light when it is full, and if it is not full or underfed, the buffalo will keep the light on.
Presumably, the buffalo wanted to turn on the lights to remind the owner to add food to it.
If the owner does not notice for a long time, the buffalo will turn off the light, and after a while, it will turn on the light to warn the owner, or keep the light on.
Mo Zhaoguang's buffalo.
The buffalo's actions made Mo Zhaoguang excited:"My buffalo is not ordinary, it is a sacred cow!”
His wife didn't believe Mo Zhaoguang's statement at all, but when she witnessed a scene of a buffalo turning on the lights at night, she was completely convinced.
"God, our buffalo is really a god!”Wei Xiu'e kept exclaiming.
Since then, Mo Zhao has boasted about how godly his buffalo is when he sees people, which makes him extremely proud, and the whole person is full of energy, even walking with the wind.
But the villagers didn't see it with their own eyes, so,Not everyone wants to believe it.
Villagers of Liuzhai Township.
Soon after, the villagers all knew that Mo Zhaoguang's family had a "sacred cow".However, this matter is Mo Zhaoguang's one-person statement, and the villagers can't fully believe it.
They had doubts in their hearts, but they were not embarrassed to express their doubts to their faces, but there was a man in the village who loved more truth, and he did not believe in evil.
The man found Mo Zhaoguang:"I've never heard of a buffalo turning on the lights, there can't be a sacred cow in the world, it's just someone bragging. ”
He firmly stated that it was absolutely impossible for the buffalo to turn on the lights, and that Mo Zhaoguang must have seen it wrong, or was talking nonsense.
For a while, doubts in the village suddenly roseMany villagers also agreed with the man, and they all thought that Mo Zhaoguang was talking big.
Villagers were skeptical.
After all, Mo Zhaoguang can raise cattle, and he may have made up such a boundless set of rhetoric in order to show off his good cattle raising skills, so that everyone would look up to him.
Such doubts spread ten, ten, hundredsWhen it reached Mo Zhaoguang's ears, he felt very uncomfortable listening to it.
Just when several villagers gathered around to discuss Mo Zhaoguang's love of face, he rushed up:"I'm not lying, my buffalo will really turn on the lights, do you dare to bet with me. ”
So, the man who loved more seriously stood up, and he was willing to make an agreement with Mo Zhaoguang in cash"I'm coming!If the cow turns on the light once, I will give you 5 yuan. ”
Mo Zhaoguang didn't make money by turning on the lights of the buffalo, he just wanted to earn back this breathIn order to clarify the facts, it is just that they will not be misunderstood by the villagers.
Mo Zhaoguang made an agreement with the villagers.
"If the cow doesn't turn on the lights, I'll give you 10 yuan. ”After Mo Zhaoguang made an agreement with the man, he went home and waited for the evening to come to the cowshed with the man to witness the miracle.
This incident spread in the village, so in the evening, not only the man who came to Mo Zhaoguang's house, but also many villagers with good things wanted to come together to see the excitement.
I don't know how long it took, the big buffalo has not moved, and some of the onlookers have been unable to stand anymore, and they yawn and return home.
In the end, only Mo Zhaoguang and the man were left, and just when the man's eyelids were fighting, the buffalo got up.
The man saw the buffalo walking to the light line, tilted his head slightly, and with a snap, the light in the cowshed turned on, and Mo Zhaoguang pointed to the cow excitedly"See, I'm right!”
Villagers witness the buffalo turn on the lights.
The buffalo seemed to know the intentions of its ownerIt turned on and off the lights as many as 10 times throughout the night, giving Mo Zhaoguang enough face.
The next day, the man's eyes were red, and he said that he would give Mo Zhaoguang the 5 yuan he had lost in the agreement"I was wrong before, your cow is indeed a sacred cow!”
After this incident, the man tried his best to clarify Mo Zhaoguang in the villageSoon, the rumors about Mo Zhaoguang's bragging gradually dissipated.
The villagers went to Mo Zhaoguang's house to watch the buffalo turn on the lights, and everyone was very envious that he could raise a sacred cowMany villagers even asked him for the skills of raising buffaloes, and he instantly became a popular man in the village.
Nanguo Morning Post reporter Jiang Wei.
After the news of the "sacred cow" spread, a reporter from a newspaper was very interested in it, and he and his colleagues drove to Liuzhai Township non-stop to learn the whole story.
This reporter is Jiang Wei of Guangxi's "Nanguo Morning Post".Although he was interested in this matter, he did not believe that such a thing would happenSo he decided to witness it with his own eyes and record it with a video camera.
Jiang Wei came to the cattle pen, first carefully investigated, he saw that the whole cowshed is a semi-basement, there are stone steps at the door, and the light line is next to the door in the cattle pen.
The light line is very long, and the buffalo can reach it as long as it raises its head slightly, and there is a small buffalo in the cattle pen, which is nestled in the side of the "sacred cow".
The reporter filmed the process of turning on the lights of the buffalo.
In the middle of the night, the reporters carefully hid the camera to try not to affect the behavior of the buffalo, and they did not dare to be negligent, for fear that they would miss an important moment if they did not pay attention.
The buffalo did not disappoint the reporters who came from afar, and it skillfully turned on the lights in the cattle penThis scene was taken into everyone's eyes and recorded clearly by the camera.
Jiang Wei was deeply impressed:"This is a smart buffalo!”You must know that the light line is very thinAs long as you turn on the light, the rope will be broken.
This power is not even easy for Jiang Wei himself to control, let alone a huge buffalo!
It seems that everyone calls this buffalo "sacred cow", which is really not an exaggeration at all.
More journalists were attracted by this miracle.
Back at the newspaper, Jiang Wei wrote a special report on itAs soon as the news came out, it attracted the attention of major TV stations, including reporters from **TV stations.
Everyone came to record the process of the buffalo skillfully turning on the lights with their cameras, and the audience was amazed by this rare event.
However, more people questioned whether Mo Zhaoguang deliberately trained the buffalo to master this skill
In order to answer the questions of the audience, experts in related fields gave scientific and reasonable explanations.
Experts solve the mystery of the buffalo turning on the lights.
It turns out that buffaloes are not nocturnal animals, and their eyesight is very poor at night, and they have to see if they want to find something to eat.
In addition, the buffalo has not changed its living environment since birth, and the furnishings in the cowpen have never changed, and the stone trough, water trough and light line are kept there all year round.
Its life is also very regular, every night, the owner will pull the lamp to turn on the light to feed the buffalo, and after the buffalo is full, then turn off the light.
Over time,Turning on the light becomes a signal for the buffalo to eat at night, and also forms a conditioned reflex for it.
In other words, the buffalo knows that it can only see food when it turns on the light, and turning on the light also means that the owner will come to feed the food, so it also learns to turn on the light, release the signal of hunger, and wait for the arrival of food.
The buffalo skillfully pulls the light rope.
At this point, the mystery of the buffalo turning on the lights has been solved, and everyone understands that this buffalo will turn on the lightsNot because the owner is well-trained, but because it is all self-taught.
However, not every buffalo living in this environment can master the skill of turning on the lights.
After all, buffaloes are not highly intelligent animals, and the vast majority of them will never be able to learn in a lifetime.
The buffalo raised by Mo Zhaoguang can be regarded as a top student in its kindIt can be learned and flexibly applied to the practice by observing the behavior of the owner.
I have to praise this buffalo, its intelligence is really the literary star of the buffalo world.
Mo Zhaoguang loves his buffalo.
It is said that smart genes can be passed on to offspring, and among the three babies born to the big buffalo, only the eldest learned to turn on the lights with his mother, and the second and third children still can't.
Unfortunately, after the boss was taken away by others, he changed to a new living environment, and this skill of turning on the lights was lost.
As a result, the big buffalo of Mo Zhaoguang's family has become the only one in the buffalo group today.
Seeing that his buffalo became famous after being reported by **, Mo Zhaoguang turned from joy to sorrow, but became more and more sad, because,Every day, there is an endless stream of guests who come to his house to see the cattle.
This buffalo is famous.
Many people came from afar, Mo Zhaoguang was very hospitable, but being with him day and night not only affected his normal life, but also disturbed his rest and sleep.
This is not the most annoying, and even more willing to buy cattleAt the beginning, the businessman from other provinces pestered Mo Zhaoguang more than once, insisting on buying the buffalo for 80,000 yuan.
To be honest, the market of buffalo at that time was only 1,000 yuan, and 80,000 yuan was already very high.
The highest bidder was a persistent audienceHe informed the other party through the ** company that broadcast buffalo news that he was willing to pay 350,000 yuan to buy the cow.
A provincial businessman who wants to buy cattle.
Despite this, Mo Zhaoguang has not wavered:"I'm not going to sell my buffalo for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions!”He thanked everyone for their love for the buffalo, but it was impossible to buy it.
"I raised the buffalo from childhood to adulthood, it is a good farmer in the family, it bears hardships and works hard for me, I have long regarded it as a family, no matter how poor I am, I will not sell it. ”
In the reporter's interview, when Mo Zhaoguang said this, his palm gently stroked the back of the buffalo, and his eyes were full of pity and love.
The buffalo beside him, wagging its tail, expressed its pleasure, and from time to time rubbed its master a few times, as if to express satisfaction with his master's answer.
Mo Zhaoguang looked at his buffalo gently.
The people in the village didn't understand Mo Zhaoguang, why he didn't want the good deal in front of him, so he had to guard the big buffalo.
Although his buffalo can turn on the lights, compared to the real benefits, it seems that the matter of the buffalo turning on the lights is insignificant.
"If I had changed, I would have sold the cattle to whoever offered the highest price. ”Many villagers took turns to persuade Mo Zhaoguang, but to no avail.
In Mo Zhaoguang's view, his family's buffalo is a relative, an important family member, and cannot be traded with money, in his opinion, family affection is much more valuable than money.
Mo Zhaoguang resolutely did not sell cattle.
Life is not divided into high and low, every life has joys and sorrows, every life has the right to live, every life should not be despised, and every life is worthy of our cherishment.
It is said that animals are the friends of human beings, they accompany their owners to live together, and bring us endless happiness.
After a long time together, they are not only our friends, but also like family, a part of our lives.
However, we are the whole of their lives, the support of their lives and the pillars of their livesIt is a close family relationship, a precious emotion that cannot be measured in money.
Humans and animals live in harmony.
I hope that in the world, there are more and more masters like Mo Zhaoguang who know how to cherish, and may all animals have something to rely on.
What do you think of Mo Zhaoguang's choice?
