Chapter 45 Taming
After entering the cave, Chen Ling took off the cloth covering the eyes of the little buffalo. When the little buffalo saw a stranger in front of him, it was frightened and took a few steps back.
“Don’t be afraid, follow me and I will take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy food.”
Chen Ling stretched out the cucumber in front of it.
The little buffalo smelled the familiar fragrance and was immediately tempted. He wanted to step forward but didn't dare. His big black eyes blinked and hesitated.
Chen Ling put the cucumber on the ground, turned around and walked away. Only then did the cat dare to step forward, pick up the cucumber and eat it crunchily.
After only two or three bites, I squinted my eyes in enjoyment, as if this cucumber was so sweet.
Seeing this, Chen Ling walked into the hut again and brought out a large handful of spinach.
These spinach are already old. Although they are grown in Dongtian, they taste better than ordinary vegetables. However, they have too much fiber in your mouth, which will tie your teeth. Not only does it take a lot of effort to eat, but the taste is not as good as the fresh ones. .
Now it’s time to feed the cows.
"Come, come and eat."
Chen Ling squatted down and waved to the little buffalo.
The little buffalo was eating cucumbers deliciously when it suddenly smelled a greedy smell and looked at Chen Ling with its dark eyes.
"Come here and eat..."
Chen Ling threw a spinach in front of him.
The little buffalo moved its ears, hesitated, walked over slowly, lowered its head, rolled its tongue, and took the spinach into its mouth.
After it finished eating, Chen Ling threw a few more in front of him, and the little buffalo took them into his mouth one by one.
Gradually, he let go. Chen Ling stroked its head twice while it was eating and stopped hiding.
"Very good, just be obedient like this."
After finishing a large handful of spinach, Chen Ling patted the little buffalo on the head.
In fact, the baby buffalo is quite small. It has been more than six months since it was born. It is now about 80 centimeters tall and about 1.4 meters long, which is a bit short. The length of an adult buffalo is at least 2 meters.
“When you are full, let me feed you some water.”
Then, Chen Ling brought a small bucket of stream water over and placed it in front of the little buffalo.
"Moo~"
The little buffalo immediately discovered the difference in the water, screamed happily, lowered his head and started drinking.
After finishing the drink quickly, he stared at Chen Ling with his big black eyes. Seeing that Chen Ling had no intention of moving, he stuck out his tongue and licked his hand, his eyes full of flattery.
Obviously I still want to drink water.
"You can only drink so much at one time. It would be a waste to drink too much for you."
Chen Ling patted its head and tied it to the jujube tree behind the hut.
The pear and jujube trees behind the hut were both brought in from outside. They were already bearing fruit when they were first planted. Apart from using the plow to boil water for drinking, the jujubes were not eaten much.
Thinking of this, Chen Ling picked two dates, threw them into his mouth, and left the cave.
......
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Ling returned to Chenwangzhuang.
I rode my bicycle for two hours on the road. The main reason was that the mountain road was not easy to walk and I had to cross a river.
That river is not the same as the Nansha River. It is called the Jinshui River. It was named because many people panned for gold here in the early years.
Like the Nansha River, it is connected to the reservoir east of Chenwangzhuang Village, but this river is much wider and more rapid than the Nansha River.
To cross this river, you have to go around a nearby village called Kinmen Village.
So it takes four hours to go to Changle Township to catch the big market and go back and forth.
As soon as Chen Ling rode his bicycle into the village, there was a lot of barking because there was a cow behind his bicycle today.
As soon as this strange animal entered the village, the dogs in the village smelled something wrong. They gathered around and roared at the little buffalo.
"Go, go, go away."
Although the little buffalo was no longer afraid of Chen Ling, it was still a little timid when surrounded by several dogs in the village, so it stopped and stopped.
Chen Ling had no choice but to get off the bicycle and drive the dog away.
Many villagers heard the commotion and came out to see Chen Ling leading a small white buffalo back to the village. They knew that this boy must have gone to the countryside to catch a big fair.
“Why did this idiot Fugui buy such a cow? He must have been deceived again.”
The village woman who had something good to say began to mutter.
"That's not true. This lazy guy has never been in the fields. How can he watch cattle? He is definitely being cheated out of money. What do you think he got into this year and started tinkering with the fields?" I didn’t know that after his father died, his elders tried to persuade him to make a career, but he didn’t listen. Now he is exchanging land with Erzhu and buying cattle. Who knows what kind of madness he is going to have?”
"..."
Chen Ling didn't know that someone was talking about him behind his back again, so he held the cow with one hand and pushed the bicycle towards his home.
The little buffalo is very curious about unfamiliar environments. As long as it doesn't meet strangers or dogs, it will look around like a curious baby.
Soon after returning home, Wang Susu was sitting in the yard making clothes. Liu Nier's group of little children were also there, surrounding a bamboo basket in the yard and not knowing what to look at.
As soon as Chen Ling opened the door, two little guys, Hei Wa and Xiao Jin, barked and ran over to greet them, their little tails wagging rapidly.
These two little ones are almost a month old. Because they drink goat milk mixed with Dongtian Stream water every day, their little bodies have grown rapidly, and they are now bigger than a normal two-month-old dog.
Lunier and the other little dolls all lost interest in them, saying they were not as fun as when they were children.
"A Ling is back?"
"Uncle Fugui!"
Wang Susu and a bunch of little kids came over.
At this time, Hei Wa and Xiao Jin, who were having fun around Chen Ling's feet, suddenly blinked, raised their tails, and shouted loudly behind Chen Ling.
But it was the little buffalo hiding half his head from behind Chen Ling, with his big black eyes open, looking curiously into the yard.
"Oh, it's a cow. Uncle Fugui brought a cow back."
Liu Nier's eyes suddenly lit up and she ran over like a gust of wind.
“The white cow is so beautiful.”
Other little dolls also came around to take a look.
Wang Susu frowned lightly: "Aling, why did you buy a white cow? If it's summer, flies and mosquitoes are particularly attracted. The bites are severe, and the cow is prone to disease."
"It's okay, I have a way."
Chen Ling smiled nonchalantly and parked his bicycle in the yard.
But the little buffalo was still peeping outside the door and did not dare to come in.
But when faced with the little dolls that came to it, it was very docile and did not hide from the little hands that the dolls touched. Instead, it squinted its eyes in enjoyment and let each little hand touch its body. caress.
"The 'Black Tornado' didn't lie to me. This little white cow is not afraid of people at all, but is afraid of meeting strange adults..."
This is obviously the temperament of a shy girl.
Chen Ling smiled and waved to the little buffalo: "Come here quickly."
The little buffalo thought that Chen Ling was going to feed it something good, so it slowly walked into the yard and walked Go to Chen Ling.
“Aling, this little white cow is so obedient.”
Wang Susu opened her mouth in surprise when she saw this.
Chen Ling smiled slightly: "Susu, you don't know, this little buffalo is actually shy. He is afraid of meeting strangers and only likes to play with little dolls. He can't even sell it in the market..."
Chen Ling Ling told the story of the little buffalo.
Wang Susu immediately found it interesting after hearing this, not to mention that white cows are more likely to attract mosquitoes.
“But it’s so well-behaved now.”
“Can I touch it?”
"Come to me and try. Don't touch it from behind, or it will kick you."
Wang Susu nodded, indicating that she understood.
Then he walked to him and carefully touched the little buffalo's head and the short horns on its head.
Sure enough, as soon as she stretched out her hand, the little buffalo dodged as if shy, turned around and hid behind Chen Ling, with only half of its head exposed, and secretly looked at Wang Susu.
“Yeah, it’s really shy.”
When Wang Susu saw this, she immediately screamed with love.
"Aling, how did you make it not afraid of you and still be so close to you?"
