The man killed the cow, and the old cow knelt down in tears and begged for mercy, and Yi Nian Zhiren later saved his life
During the Southern Song Dynasty, Yunxi Village at the foot of Wulong Mountain was a quiet place. There is a butcher in the village named Ruda, and since his grandfather's time, the family has been slaughtering pigs and sheep for a living. Since he was eight years old, Luda has been running around with his father Lu Shen, and every New Year's Day, he is always so busy that he can't even eat. Despite this, in order to raise money for the treatment of his sick mother, Ruda never complained about the hardships of life.
However, when Ruda was sixteen years old, his father died suddenly, leaving him and his ailing mother to survive. Due to the care of his mother, he could not go out to slaughter pigs and sheep as before.
Luckily, the villagers often helped, and when there were pigs and sheep that needed to be slaughtered, they would call Ruda. Even if she has a job to do, the neighbors will take care of her old mother, so that Ruda can work with peace of mind.
Since the death of her husband, Huang has watched her son work so hard and has been in her heart every day. Her body has endured decades of suffering, but living is a kind of torture, wanting to die but not being able to live, which has become a bitter reality.
Whenever Huang said these heavy words, Luda always patiently comforted: "Mother, life is like a autumn of grass and trees, isn't what we are pursuing is happiness?"If you leave, I will be alone, and how happy can I be even if my family has a lot of money?”
Huang smiled, she knew that her son was sincerely filial, and said this to comfort her.
Thinking about this, she recalled the town's rich man, Liu, whose two sons had made a mockery of their two sons fighting for the family property, which eventually led to the breakdown of the entire family.
Therefore, it is well said: I am old, and I am old;The young of me, and the young of man. In their view, respecting the elderly, caring for the young, and family harmony are the real family happiness, and this has nothing to do with the amount of money.
Life is like this, experiencing prosperity, and happiness is waiting. However, the most lasting and profound feelings, the greatest energy, still come from the company of loved ones. Only in the joy of family can life be the same.
On this day, Luda was taking care of her mother, and Aunt Li from the village came over and said earnestly: "Child, a few days ago, your mother asked me to find you a family affair, and the other party has already replied." ”
Ruda looked at his mother dumbfounded, obviously, he didn't know anything about it, it seemed that his mother secretly asked Aunt Li to do it.
Huang hurriedly asked: "What did Hu Laohan say?"Does he agree with this family business?”
Aunt Li sat down, signaled the Huang family not to worry, and then said slowly: "Hu Laohan said that his family has a daughter and a son, if you want to marry his daughter, you will get fifty catties of beef as a dowry." ”
Fifty pounds of beef?Huang gasped, obviously Hu Laohan forced them to slaughter the old cow in the family.
When Luda heard this, he hurriedly stood up and said, "No, I don't agree. ”
The reason why Ruda is against it is because there is only one old cow in the family, how can he cultivate the land after slaughtering?On the other hand, this old cow used to be his father's favorite buddy, and he has developed feelings over the years.
Okay, I've already told you, it's up to you whether you get married or not. Aunt Li saw Luda's fierce reaction and left in a hurry.
Huang sighed, she knew that Hu Laohan was a little strong, but now that her son is at the age of starting a family, how can he be destined to be a single person for the sake of a cow?
Ruda knelt in front of his mother's bed and cried: "Mother, we can't do this family, they are selling their daughter!."”
Son, my mother is reluctant to give up that old cow, and even more reluctant to you!Huang wiped away his tears.
Ruda understood his mother's distress, and when he saw her tearful cheeks, the next day he picked up his knife and walked to the cowshed.
Originally, he wanted to pull the old cow to sell, but he knew the rules, and asking someone to slaughter it would not only pay the reward, but also make the old cow suffer.
When he came to the cowshed, he added fodder to the cow trough and mixed a lot of wheat bran, hoping that the old cow would have one last meal.
Ruda looked at the big yellow cow with pity and stuck out his tongue, eating wheat grass one by one, he used a broom to clean the dirt on the cow's body, and said: "Old cow, old cow, I have worked hard for you all these years, but now I can't help it." ”
When the residents of the village heard that Ruda was going to slaughter a large yellow cow, they rushed to watch. I saw Ruda holding a sharp blade in his hand, circling around the big scalper, but he kept hesitating.
Ruda, why is it so grinding, everyone is waiting. Someone urged on the side.
Don't worry, it's not your cow. Ruda replied, looking at the light in the old cow's eyes and feeling afraid.
At this moment, Huang shouted in the house, "Son, has the cow been slaughtered?"Why didn't I hear it humming?”
Ruda replied: "Mother, it's not yet, I'll do it." ”
Aunt Li saw this, handed over a stick and said, "I think it's better to knock it unconscious first and then slaughter it." ”
Ruda closed his eyes and swung the big stick, ready to hit it, but saw the old cow's front legs slowly bend, and finally fell to his knees, his eyes full of tears.
This scene stunned everyone present, and Aunt Li exclaimed: "Oh my God, why is this old cow still crying?"”
The stick in Ruda's hand hung in the air, and when he heard the scream, he opened his eyes and saw that the old cow seemed to be begging him for mercy.
As a butcher for many years, it was the first time that Ruda had encountered such a situation, so he put down the stick in his hand and shouted: "Forget it, I won't slaughter it, and this family business can be regarded as a do." ”
When the old cow saw that his master had dropped the stick, he rubbed his head against Ruda's chest and made a low "moo" sound.
Oh, this old cow is really spiritual, and it seems to be thanking the master for not slaughtering it. Someone in the village exclaimed.
Ruda hugged the cow's head and burst into tears, he made up his mind that for the sake of his own happiness, he decided to spare the life of the old cow, even if he wanted to give up this family business, he did not want to be ungrateful.
Aunt Li saw that Luda refused to kill the old cow, and said angrily: "I don't care about this family business, you will be a bachelor for the rest of your life." ”
After everyone dispersed, Ruda walked into the room, knelt in front of his mother and said, "Mother, the child can't bear it, this old cow is the lifesaver of our family, I can't do it." ”
Huang sighed and silently shed tears: "Good boy, my mother knows that you are embarrassed, and my mother will not force you anymore in the future." ”
Half a month has passed since this incident, one day, Luda was grazing cattle on the mountain, suddenly heard the woman's cry for help, he hurriedly ran to take a look, only to see a girl lying on the ground, bleeding from her legs, and opposite her was a giant python more than ten meters long.
Seeing that the girl's life was hanging by a thread, the old cow in Luda's hand was desperate and used two horns to fly the giant python.
Seeing that the old cow and the python were fighting together, Luda hurriedly ran over to help the young girl and asked, "Are you badly injured?"Can you still walk?”
Thank you for saving me. The young girl looked up at Ruda and said gratefully.
Ruda squatted down and said, "Your foot is injured, this place can't stay for long, the smell of blood will attract more fierce birds and beasts." You lie on my back, and I'll take you away. ”
The young girl hesitated, but when she saw the vicious python, she gritted her teeth and lay on Ruda's back.
Ruda ran out of the mountain with the girl in one go, then put her down and said, "Are you seriously injured?"”
The young girl shook her head: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine, I just ran too fast and fell, just apply some herbs." ”
The two chatted for a while, and Luda learned that the girl's name was Lin Wan'er, and she was the daughter of the Lin family's medicine hall in the town. Not long ago, Lin Wan'er's father was poisoned, and she heard that there was a strange ginkgo fruit on the mountain that could detoxify, so she went up to the mountain to collect medicine herself.
The book once said that every kind of rare and exotic fruit is guarded by a mythical beast and a bird of prey, she thought it was a legend, but she didn't expect to experience it in person today, when picking strange white fruits, a giant python suddenly swarmed out of the cave.
Engong, that python is so scary, will your cattle be in danger?Lin Wan'er asked worriedly.
You wait for me here, I'll go up the mountain and take a look. With that, Ruda ran quickly up the hill.
Ruda returned to the top of the mountain and was surprised to find that the old cow and the python were still fighting fiercely. The huge python, with a body of more than ten meters, tightly wrapped around the old cow, and the latter seemed to be in a predicament of being unable to move.
Seeing that the old cow might be in danger due to lack of oxygen, Luda did not hesitate, quickly took out the slaughtering knife at his waist and slashed towards the python's head. However, when the blade touched the python's hard head, there was a muffled sound, and the entire blade was twisted and deformed.
What material is this made of for the skull?Ruda was a little disappointed, he thought that he could cut the python in two with a single knife, but he didn't expect that the python's head was hard and abnormal, leaving only a shallow trace.
The giant python was extremely angry, and there was only contempt for Ruda in his eyes. In its opinion, this human dared to be so arrogant in front of it.
The python shook off the old cow with its tail, then erected itself and opened its mouth to let out a deafening roar.
Ruda looked up and found that the python was taller than the tree next to it, as if it was about to devour him whole.
Roar!The giant python opened its mouth, and the snake hyacinth, which was longer than a human arm, spewed out a cloud of agricultural smoke and went straight to Luda on the ground to bite it.
Oops, this sucks!Ruda closed his eyes, realizing that he might be devoured by a giant python.
Suddenly, there was a loud crash, and the ground shook. Ruda opened his eyes in amazement to find that the old cow was rising into the sky and slamming into the python, breaking it in two.
Before Ruda could react, the body of the giant python had already smashed into the ground, forming a deep pit, and the old cow was buried in the mountain in front of him by the boulder.
Old cow!Ruda hurried to the collapsed hill, desperately moving the boulder that was pressing on the old cow, and shouting the name of the old cow.
After a while, Ruda was exhausted, but he didn't give up. Even though the old cow has fallen, he is determined to witness the last moment of the old cow with his own eyes.
Suddenly, the rocks cracked, and the old cow walked out slowly.
Old cow!Ruda shouted in surprise, but when the old cow approached, he realized that one of the old cow's horns was actually broken.
Old cow, are you okay?Ruda looked at the tired old cow with concern and felt pity.
The old cow mooed, as if to express that he was fine.
Thank you, old cow, for saving my life. Ruda understood that if it weren't for the old cow sacrificing himself to save him, he might have become a good meal for the python.
The old cow suddenly crouched down and motioned for Ruda to sit on its back. After sitting down, the old cow galloped away and soon came to the giant python just now.
You're asking me to bring this python back?Ruda watched Lao Niu stop, and immediately understood the other party's intentions.
The old cow mooed and slashed the python's belly with the only remaining horn.
As a butcher, Ruda knows what the old cow is looking for - that's where the snake gall is. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the snake's belly to be cut open, and the snake gall inside turned out to be a thumb-sized bead, and the outer layer still exuded a silver glow.
Ruda didn't know anything about the purpose of the silver beads, but since the old cow signaled him to keep them, he put them away. The old cow lifted the python's body with his tail, and then carried Ruda down the mountain.
At this time, it was nightfall, and Lin Wan'er waited anxiously. She had long heard the earth shaking from the mountains, and she had been worried about Ruda's safety.
Miss Lin, I've kept you waiting. Ruda led the old ox down from the mountain.
Are you alright?Are there any injuries?Lin Wan'er asked with concern.
I'm fine, it's all python's blood. Luda laughed and pointed to the python on the old cow's back.
This is?Lin Wan'er noticed the giant python at this time, her eyes widened, she didn't expect the giant python to die in battle.
Thanks to Lao Niu, otherwise we probably wouldn't have been able to walk out of this mountain. Ruda looked at the old cow gratefully.
Because Lin Wan'er was injured, Luda carried her all the way back on her back. At this moment, Lin Wan'er looked at the man in front of her, her heart was beating like a deer, after all, she had never had such intimate contact with a man, and Luda's heroic image today was deeply imprinted in her heart.
Brother Lu, I'm ......Lin Wan'er wanted to speak and stopped.
Miss Lin, if you have something to say, I will try my best to help you. Ruda saw what was on her mind.
My father was framed and poisoned, and his life was in danger. The only way to cure the poison on his body is to need a medicinal herb in addition to Qi Baiguo. Lin Wan'er explained.
What herbs?You're injured now, I'll help you find it. Ruda said quickly.
Brother Lu, thank you. The last missing herb is the snake gall bladder on this giant python. Lin Wan'er looked at the giant python on the back of the old cow and said.
Luda was silent and silently sent the other party to the Lin Clan's Medicine Hall in the town. When saying goodbye, he took out a silver bead from his bosom, handed it to the other party, and whispered, "Give it to you." ”
Brother Lu, do you know how precious this silver pill is?Are you really willing to give it to me?Lin Wan'er asked in disbelief.
No matter how precious it is, it is not as precious as human life. If it can save my uncle's life, I am willing to give it to you. Ruda said lightly.
Lin Wan'er looked at Luda's back when she left, and her tears had slipped unconsciously.
When he got home, Ruda threw the python into the pot and boiled it for three days and three nights. Then, a burst of fragrance wafted away.
He served a bowl to his mother and waited for her to drink it, and a miraculous change occurred.
Huang, who was originally paralyzed in bed, suddenly felt as light as a swallow, she tentatively moved her legs, and finally stood up.
That night, Ruda was lying at home and falling asleep, when a sharp knock was suddenly heard outside the door.
He hurriedly opened the door, only to see Lin Wan'er in a state of embarrassment, and when he saw him, he said eagerly: "Quick, run away." ”
Lin Wan'er fainted in his arms before she finished speaking, and Luda hurriedly prepared a bowl of soup for her to drink. After a while, Lin Wan'er finally woke up.
What happened?How did you get hurt so badly?Ruda asked with concern.
There has recently been a strange outbreak in the city, and many people have been infected. In order to test the medicine, my father was poisoned. I brought back the Qi Baiguo and Yindan, refined them with the medicine, and gave them to my father, but I didn't expect him to be reborn ......As soon as Lin Wan'er's words fell, there was a huge movement outside the door.
Luda and Lin Wan'er hurriedly walked outside, only to see an old man with bloodshot eyes who was about to attack, but was blocked by an old cow.
Abominable human beings, you all have to die today. "The old man grabbed the old cow's horn with both hands and threw it into the distance.
Bang!There was a loud bang, and a deep pit cracked in the ground. The old man turned to Ruda and let out a suffocating laugh.
Daddy, wake up!Lin Wan'er shouted, tears streaming down her face.
When the old man heard Lin Wan'er's call, he paused, but the next moment, the blood in his eyes flashed, and one hand raised Ruda high above his head.
Daddy, don't!Lin Wan'er's voice choked.
The old man's mind hesitated slightly, but in the end he threw Ruda out. Just as Ruda was about to fall, the old cow quickly came and cleverly caught him.
Thank you, Lao Niu, for saving my life again. Ruda said gratefully.
Master, he has been taken away by that python, and I am now seriously injured, and I am not an opponent at all. Lao Niu suddenly spoke, revealing a hint of humanity in his tone.
Old Niu, you can actually speak?Ruda was surprised, he didn't expect the old cow to have such an ability.
That's right, I'm talking. That giant python has been cultivating in the mountains for thousands of years, and it was originally possible to take away the sacrifice of people by eating the strange ginkgo fruit, but it was ......The old cow explained in detail.
After listening to Lao Niu's narration, Ruda suddenly realized. It turned out that Lao Niu was the mount of Lao Jun in the sky, and one day Lao Jun asked him to take care of Qi Baiguo, but it accidentally took a nap and woke up to find that Qi Baiguo had been stolen.
After Lao Jun learned about it, he calculated that Qi Baiguo was taken away by a giant python that had cultivated for thousands of years. In order to punish Lao Niu, Lao Jun beat him into the mortal world.
Lao Niu has been waiting for the day when the giant python will take over, take advantage of its weakest time to recapture the strange white fruit, and return the giant python's thousand-year inner pill to Lao Jun to make up for his mistakes.
However, this giant python was extremely vicious, and in order to cultivate, it actually used its own essence and blood to ripen the strange white fruit, causing countless deaths and injuries to all beings in the mountains, and even human beings were deeply affected.
Later, Lin Xiaotian of Lin's Medicine Hall discovered the source of the disease when he was testing the drug. However, he himself was poisoned, so he entrusted his daughter to go to the mountains to find the strange ginkgo because only the strange ginkgo can save all living beings from the dire situation.
However, Lin Wan'er was discovered by the giant python when she stole the strange white fruit, but fortunately with the help of Luda and Lao Niu, she was able to save the day.
Lin Wan'er studied medicine with her father since she was a child, and learned that the snake gallbladder in the body of the giant python is an extremely precious medicinal material. With a desire to save more people, she decided to use Monty Python's precious resources to make medicines.
One day, she came home with the strange ginkgo nuts, and after some boiling, she successfully cooked it into a nourishing soup. This soup not only made my father**, but also produced a remarkable effect among the sick in the city.
However, when she took out the giant python's silver pill, the silver pill suddenly flew into Lin Xiaotian's mouth. Subsequently, Lin Xiaotian fell into an unpredictable state, sometimes sober, sometimes crazy.
In less than three days, Lin Xiaotian's sober moments became fewer and his crazy moments increased, obviously the giant python essence eroded his mind and seized his body.
Knowing that the old cow was seriously injured, the python spirit rushed to take revenge when he heard the news.
Lao Niu, you have repeatedly obstructed me, if it weren't for Lao Jun's sake, I would have devoured you. The python said angrily.
Lao Niu looked coldly at the giant python spirit opposite, "Giant python, you do a lot of evil, even if you change your shape, you can't become an immortal." You better recognize the reality and quickly follow me back to Lao Jun to be punished. ”
Hahahaha......The python spirit smiled sinisterly and roared angrily: "I wanted to show myself as my true body, but you forced me to give up. The thousand-year-old cultivation is ruined, and I want to make your life worse than death!”
Monty Python, do you think I'm helpless?The old cow scolded angrily.
Hmph, old cow, my body is already a human body, you have to think clearly, if I die, he will not survive. The python sneered and threatened.
Lao Niu turned to look at Luda and said lightly: "Master, it's time for Lao Niu to leave, he may not be able to accompany you in the future." ”
Old cow, don't!Ruda stared at Lao Niu tightly, already guessing Lao Niu's intentions, desperately trying to stop it.
The old cow flew into the air, his entire body was shrouded in a layer of golden light, and then quickly spun around. After the golden light dissipated, the old cow turned into a vajra circle and flew to the top of the giant python spirit.
AhhDon't!Please let me go!The vajra circle emitted a dazzling light, penetrating Lin Xiaotian's body, and then the primordial spirit of the giant python spirit was knocked away, and was finally sucked into the vajra circle by the old cow.
After the python spirit was conquered by the old cow, the diamond circle changed back to the original form of the old cow, stood on the clouds and said: "Luda, you are a filial and kind person, the old cow will give you a beautiful marriage today, I wish you happiness." ”
Old cow, have a chance to come back and see!Ruda looked up at the sky and shouted to the old cow.
The old cow spit out a pill from his mouth and sent it into Lin Xiaotian's mouth, and soon after, Lin Xiaotian woke up.
Thank you Daisen!Lin Xiaotian and Lin Wan'er knelt down to the old cow in the sky in unison.
Lao Niu smiled slightly: "Your father and daughter are benevolent and righteous, and their merits are immeasurable. Lao Jun specially gave the elixir, I hope you can save more people in the future. ”
After Lao Niu finished speaking, he glanced at the world nostalgically, and then flew back to the Nine Heavens Doushi Palace and went back to Lao Jun.
Luda and Lin Wan'er experienced these twists and turns, and the two had a heart-to-heart relationship, and soon chose an auspicious day to get married.
After that, Luda also put down the butcher's knife, went up the mountain with Lin Wan'er to collect medicine, did good deeds, and lived a happy and quiet life.
