Chapter 44 Shy
Chen Ling heard it funny and thought that it was so mysterious that it even involved weirdness.
He said to the two of them: "We don't have to say whether we want to buy it or not. Let's go over and have a look first."
"Okay, if you want to take a look, let's go take a look."< br>
Lao Ba and Guo Baolai didn’t have any objections. After all, they were here, so why not take a look if you don’t want to buy it?
When the three of them walked over, they heard the man watching the cow say to the owner: "You are not good at this cow. You are too cowardly. Kill it as soon as possible and sell the meat."
The owner was a black man with a stubble on his face. The strong man, like a black whirlwind, said after hearing this: "If I wait any longer, if I can't sell it, I have to let it grow for another half a year. If I kill it now, how many kilograms of meat will I sell?"
Chen Ling listened to the conversation between the two and walked up to the little white cow. As expected, it ducked back as soon as the stranger approached. While hiding, it hid half of its head behind the tree, blinking its big black eyes and peeking at Chen Ling. .
Like a shy girl.
Chen Ling tried to touch it, but it immediately ducked aside.
But as long as you move gently, the little buffalo won't bark, it will just hide and not let it get closer.
Chen Ling suddenly knew something: "This little buffalo is not afraid of people, it is clearly shy..."
Every animal has its own personality.
For example, dogs are the most common dogs. Some dogs are lively and love to make trouble. Once people are not at home, everything will be turned upside down. But some dogs are honest and steady, know how to look after the home and the yard, and loyally protect their owners.
In fact, the same thing happens when it comes to cows.
The little buffalo in front of me is the kind of person who is afraid of meeting people, but it's not timid, it's thin-skinned and shy, like some introverted children.
This kind of cow cannot be beaten. Once it is beaten with a whip, it will become truly timid and afraid of others.
So Chen Ling asked: "Brother, has your calf ever been beaten?"
'Black Tornado' was stunned for a moment, and then said: "No, I This cow is very good at home. It is not afraid of me, nor is it afraid of my dolls. It is not afraid of the dolls from the houses next to my house. It is great to play with the dolls."
"But we can't see it. You can tell by looking at the way it looks like this when it comes to strangers, especially strangers. It's so scared that it won't let me touch it now, and it won't become good again until everyone around it leaves..."
Chen Ling nodded, expressing understanding.
"Then how much does it cost to sell your cow?"
'Black Tornado' shouted first, but to his surprise, Chen Ling was willing to buy it, and said hurriedly: "One thousand yuan! Give me one thousand yuan I'll sell it to you for just one piece!"
After hearing this, Lao Ba laughed: "You really dare to ask for a price, a half-big cow, only seven or eight hundred at most, not to mention the courage of your family. The child is so young that he can’t do anything after buying it, so he will kill it and eat the meat.”
“I can’t even give you five hundred yuan to send it to the slaughterhouse.”
'Black Tornado' heard what the old man said and asked: "Who are you? I'm negotiating with this little brother. What does it have to do with you?"
Before the old man could speak, the people around him started talking. .
"You have come to the countryside to catch a few big fairs. Why don't you even know about it? No wonder you can't sell your cattle."
"Follow you Let’s put it this way, Lao Ba Tou said your cow is worth five hundred yuan, and it’s only five hundred yuan if it’s worth 500 yuan.”
Someone in the crowd laughed at the man.
"That's right, you don't even know about it, but you still sell the cow?"
'Black Tornado' suddenly said angrily: "I can sell my cow if I want to, but if I don't want to sell it, why don't I take it back?"
"I am the cow economy hired by this young man."
The old man knocked on the pipe pole, "It doesn't matter if you don't know me, I won't bully you, your cow is worth at most six hundred If you raise a small cow at home and it grows into a big cow, it only costs a thousand yuan to kill and sell the meat..."
"You can still sell it for a thousand yuan when it grows into a big cow, are you talking in your sleep? I don’t believe it.”
'Black Tornado' said unhappily: "In my village, if you kill an old scalper, you can still sell it for more than 1,600 yuan. This is a water buffalo. If you raise it, it won't be more than the yellow beef? I can sell it for at least 1,800 yuan!"
Old Ba shook his head and smiled: "You are a white cow. It attracts flies, mosquitoes and gadflies. The cowhide is thinner than that of ordinary cows. It is good if you don't get sick. You can eat well and grow meat. Don't even think about it. I still That said, raising a big cow and selling its meat can cost as much as a thousand dollars."
There was a sudden burst of agreement.
‘Black Tornado’ was a little panicked because he felt that Old Ba was right.
But selling a half-big cow for 600 yuan was really a little, so he argued again: "My cow is worth more than 600 yuan, at least 800 yuan!" The old man said, "Then you sell it Go for your eight hundred! I’ll give you another fifty yuan, six hundred and fifty yuan, whether you want to sell it or not!”
After saying that, the boss grabbed Chen Ling's arm and walked out of the crowd.
Chen Ling really likes this little white buffalo. Its personality is like that of a young girl who has not left the palace. She thinks that buying it and throwing it into the cave to raise it will definitely be better than following this 'black whirlwind'.
At this moment, the boss suddenly grabbed his arm hard and gave him a look.
Chen Ling understood and immediately followed.
Seeing that the old boss was leaving with the young disciple, the 'Black Tornado' looked a little struggling. He also knew that his cow's character had no other use than selling meat.
It’s not good for me to plow the fields myself. I get scared when I see a stranger, so I just give up my job. There’s nothing anyone can do about it.
If you don’t sell it now, you can take it home and raise it for half a year, and it will only sell for 1,000 yuan.
"Six hundred and five is six hundred and five, I'll sell you."
Seeing that Chen Ling and the other three were about to walk away, 'Black Tornado' immediately shouted loudly.
Chen Ling and the others stopped and turned back again.
After paying and handing over the cattle, Black Whirlwind asked the crowd to disperse, blindfolded the little buffalo with a piece of cloth, and led it out of the livestock market.
"Little brother, I will help you lead the cow to the road outside the village. Just don't say anything on the way home."
Chen Ling suddenly laughed: "No, help me lead it. Just go under the archway."
Then he handed Lao Ba twenty yuan and said, "This time I'm in trouble, Lao Ba."
"You don't need so much, just one."
Old Ba took out one for ten yuan and said, "You can't do anything with this cow when you buy it back. If you come to buy it next time at the market, Farm animals, come here and I'll help you pick them out."
Chen Ling nodded and handed over the remaining pack of Hardmen." Then hold the cigarette."
Lao Ba Tou did not refuse this time.
Then Chen Ling pushed the bicycle, Black Tornado led the cow, and walked through the market with Guo Baolai and rushed to the bottom of the big archway.
"Brother Baolai, get a cucumber from your stall."
Guo Baolai was startled, then wondered, "Are you going to give it to the cow?"
Chen Ling smiled: "Well, you will know after you bring it."
Guo Baolai took a cucumber and handed it to him. Chen Ling took it in his hand, walked to the little buffalo, and waved it in front of the cow's nose. shake.
"Moo..."
The little buffalo screamed immediately. Although it was blindfolded, it could smell something delicious in front of it, so it wiggled its nose and bit the cucumber.
Chen Ling immediately pulled back with the cucumber. He sniffed the fragrance of the cucumber and followed. Then he pulled away, and then he followed again.
As soon as Chen Ling saw that it was done, he pushed the bicycle with one hand and seduced the little buffalo outside with the cucumber in the other.
‘Black Whirlwind’ was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly let go of the rope that held the cow, and watched helplessly as the little buffalo was lured two hundred meters away by Chen Ling.
"This cucumber, this cucumber can do this..."
Guo Baolai was also very surprised, and was so stunned that he didn't know what to say.
"Brother Baolai, see you next time."
It wasn't until Chen Ling shouted that he came back to his senses and hurriedly said goodbye.
Chen Ling left Changle Township and walked for a while. When he saw that there was no one around, he thought to himself, "Leave you," and led the little buffalo into the cave.
