The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family - #445 - Chapter 445: Snowy Night on the Grassland (2 in 1

  Chapter 445 Snowy Night on the Prairie (two chapters in one)

boom!

   There was a loud bang.

  It was louder than the wind, as if hitting everyone’s hearts.

  The cow was smashed to the point of staring. It didn’t intend to move, but as a creature that has been standing on four legs. When it senses danger, it will definitely choose to stand and balance instead of lying down.

  But the subconscious reaction didn’t help it. Instead, it got the second, third, and successive punches.

   bang bang bang bang bang…

  One is lighter than the next.

  Qi Si tried his best with his first punch because he was worried that he would not be able to restrain the grumpy cow, but as the cow’s reaction became weaker and weaker, the strength of his fist continued to weaken.

  Head Cow: I’m not moving anymore, what’s wrong with me?

With half-closed eyelids, he quietly pressed his head on the snow. If it wasn’t for the regular ups and downs of its body, its dilated nostrils and its desperate inhalation and exhalation, it really seemed that it was about to be beaten by Qi Si forcefully. Already…

  Yan Yu ran over, and the panic came and went quickly.

   No, it went too fast!

  The reversal is so powerful that it is unbelievable.

  Who would have thought that such an irritable cow would be subdued by Uncle Qi’s punches and punches.

   Qi Si himself was a little scared.

  He saw Xiao Er coming, as if he had found the backbone.

   “Xiao Er, Fourth Uncle Qi put in more effort, really, later on, you can help Uncle take a look, it can’t die, right?”

  Yan Yu: …

  The worry in Uncle Qi’s eyes is too obvious. He is still keeping the movement of pressing on the cow. It is very likely that he dare not move anymore, afraid…the cow will die…

  Yan Yuzai looked back and forth carefully.

   It should be…not dead.

   “Second Uncle Sun, how are you?” Yan Yu asked concerned.

   Between Uncle Qi and Tou Niu, the latter needs to be cared about, while Uncle Sun and Tou Niu obviously need to care more about the former.

   “It’s all right, this cow is going to die?” Sun Erdan finally let go of the cow’s tail and got up.

  Once the ox’s tail was released, it slowly shook, tentatively turned left, then right again, the range was very small.

  Sun Erdan laughed: “Haha, it’s okay, I’m still alive.”

   “Qi Si, you are really good! You knocked down such a big cow!” Sun Erdan patted the snow on his body, and ran to the front to have a look.

  At this time, people from Xiao’an Village came one after another.

  The first to arrive was Yan Huaiwen, who rode a horse and was the fastest.

   Before the horse stopped, he turned over and got down, trotted two steps, stood in front of him, and swept around, seeing everyone was fine, and his tense body relaxed.

   Then Qi Da and Qi Wu.

The body of the man from the Qi family, with his two long legs thrown away, was not much worse than a horse. A series of deep pits were left behind the two of them. Because they ran so violently, Qi Da and Qi Wu exhaled thickly. Breathing, panting harder than a cow lying on the ground.

Yan Laoer hadn’t run like this for a long time, he felt that the cold air he inhaled was icy, and it hurt him so much that he couldn’t speak when he ran to the place. Seeing that his daughter was well and Qi Si was well, everyone Well, he relieved all of his strength and sat down on the ground with weak legs.

  Qi Da went to drag him, Yan Er Er waved his hand at him, but he still hadn’t recovered his breath, and wanted to sit down for a while.

   Regardless of his objection, Qi Da stretched out his arms to support him.

  Let Yan Er Er lean on him.

  Yan Erdi’s body is far worse than Xiaoer’s.

  Look, they are also running over, although Yan’s second one ran a bit longer than Yan Yu’s, but looking at Xiaoer’s, he has already breathed evenly, and now he is reaching out to pull Qi Si up.

  Qi Wu walked over to help, but Qi Si stood up by himself.

   Attention is still on the cow.

   Qi Si asked in a muffled voice: “Why doesn’t it stand up when it’s fine? I hit the head, not the leg…”

  Qi Wu asked in a daze, “Did you crush its leg just now?”

  Yan Huaiwen said lightly: “It’s good that people are fine.”

  The implication is that it doesn’t matter whether the cow is dead or alive.

  Qi Si squatted down again and stared at the bull, who also looked at him without blinking.

   One person and one cow looked at each other for a while, Qi Si asked harshly: “Can you still get up?”

  The cow responded by slightly expanding the range of the tail flick.

  Seeing that the three uncles of the Qi family were all here, Yan Yu became bolder.

  Pick up the cow’s leg and bend it so that the cow’s hooves stand on the snow.

   Hope to use this action to let the cow understand their intentions.

   Just now, we really wanted you to fall down, but now, we really want to see you stand up.

  A cow, or a tall and strong bull, why not sell it for twenty taels! If you can walk back, you will be worth twenty taels. If you lie down and go back, you may not be able to sell for this price!

  Yan Yu’s small account is crackling.

   Here, the only one who can resonate with her is…her father.

  Yan’s second son slowed down a bit, and hurriedly said to Qi Da: “Brother Qi, let’s go over and have a look. I’ll touch its legs to see if it’s broken. Why don’t you stand up?”

  Whether it is live cattle or beef, let the second Yan choose, he will definitely choose one.

  Qi Da took Yan’s second child by the arm.

  Yan’s second child immediately threw himself into the inspection work.

  The affectionate touch and serious attitude are all his love for the health of cattle…

   “It’s okay, the legs are fine.” After Yan’s second finished speaking, he went to see Niutou again. In fact, he wanted to scratch the cow’s eyelids to see if there was any blood oozing, and whether Qi Si had been smashed into the head by Niu Tou…

  Yan Yu picked up the rope on the ground, and the other end was still wrapped around the bull’s head.

  She pushed hard, and the cow’s neck was pulled up by it.

  The bull’s four hooves were all flopping, as if thinking about it, but its bull’s eyes kept looking at Qi Si, and after a couple of flops, it stopped moving. Yan Yu could feel its resistance from the rope.

  She seemed to understand something.

   “Uncle Qi, try pulling it up.” Yan Yu gave the rope to Qi Si.

  Qi Si raised his hand as soon as he took it, and before he could use any force, the cow, which was lying quietly and pretending to be paralyzed, stood up thumping and thumping, which was called agile.

  Yan Yu: …

  Qi Wu was so curious that he asked for the rope from Qi Si and tried to pull it.

  The cow didn’t move, its eyes were round, and it was unclear whether it was looking at Qi Si or Qi Wu.

  Qi Wu was not used to it, he just punched him when he went up.

  The three brothers of the Qi family are particularly experienced in dealing with angry animals.

  My mule has a bad temper. When I first came home, the mule barked fiercely. Looking at it now, Niaojing didn’t move at all.

  The cow was punched and moaned in grievance.

   Presumably, they felt the power from the same blood.

  Qi Wu took the rope again, and the bull followed obediently.

Qi Da also became interested, his order was reversed, he punched first, and then connected the rope, the cow didn’t even moo, uh, it must have once again felt the weight that his own cow couldn’t bear, Be honest.

  Yan Yu took a look, good guy, so you are such a bull.

  She puffed her face, clenched her little fists, and walked over.

  Uh, I’m not tall enough.

   “Uncle Qi, let him bow his head.”

  Qi Da is definitely pampering children. In fact, the three brothers of the Qi family are all pampering Xiao Er. In the past, it was because of Yan Er who loved the house and Wu. Now, when I think of Xiao Er’s strength, I can’t help but want to treat her better.

   Qi Da pressed the bull’s head down with one hand.

   It was also the cow who was frightened by the three two-legged beasts.

  When Yan Yu also finished swinging his fist.

  Tau Niu: Niu Sheng, it’s really hard!

  Yan Yu went to pull the rope, and the cow followed. She couldn’t control it, and laughed happily.

  Yan’s second child also thinks this cow is quite interesting.

   His hands were itchy, and he also punched them.

   Niu’s eyes widened suddenly, and Yan Yu subconsciously felt bad.

   gave her father a hand.

  Seeing the cow unceremoniously raised its hoof and kicked her father, it was almost kicked.

  Yan’s second child was all amused: “Hey, you are a bully!”

  Sun Erdan and the men from Xiaoan Village who all ran over also wanted to try it, but Yan Lao Er had preceded him, so let’s forget it.

  …

   After subduing a cow, the herd is really easy to lead.

  As long as the cow is pulled in front, the cows behind will follow up automatically.

Of course, like Yan Yu, the people of Xiao’an Village also felt that it was not safe to rely on only one cow, so they put ropes on their heads one by one. sufficient length of activity.

  The sledges were piled with food and various utensils looted from the tents. The tents were folded into big bags, tied tightly with ropes, and dragged directly on the snow.

   Going forward and galloping on the snow, driving a flock of sheep to bleat neatly, no sheep can escape from the flock…

  The returning team moved slowly against the wind and snow.

  Qi Si led the cow and walked at the front of the team.

  He carried a basket on his back, the ax and knife inside were gone, and soft sheepskin was piled up all around. Yan Yu sat in it, surrounded by wool, blocking the wind and snow.

  To be honest, if the wool hadn’t smelled a bit strong, maybe she would have fallen asleep.

Shaking and shaking in Uncle Qi’s basket, trying to open the eyelids, the night sky is gloomy, only blurred black and white in the field of vision, the sound of the wind, loud and small, whirring and whirring, is like a lullaby, Yan Yu’s head bit by bit, drowsy.

   “Brother, you should take someone back first, we know the way, just go slowly.”

  Yan Yu herself can’t count how many times her father has driven her uncle out of the team, so hurry back to Huju.

   “Hmm.” Yan Huaiwen’s voice was barely audible.

  Yan Yu murmured in her heart, it’s like this again, uncle’s inaction is the most difficult thing to do, she saw her father was anxious, and said: “Brother, if you don’t leave, then if this is the case, add another dress.”

  Yan Lao Er refers to sheepskin.

  Yan Huaiwen looked at his body, he is now wearing two layers, one is his own, and the other is God Bless.

  The latter one was the last one he had to put on because his eyes were red with anxiety.

  In addition, it can only be removed from the tent…

   What Yan Laoer is wearing now is that he has wrapped himself in three layers.

  Look at him and his daughter, this is a model of hardship and simplicity, the conditions are like this, so you have to get used to it, and look at his elder brother, the cleanliness is too serious.

  When they fled famine, they didn’t take a shower for several days, they were covered in sweat, and their hair was sticky. How did the eldest brother bear it? Uh, maybe the sweat is from my body, don’t you think so?

  But Yan Laoer understands his elder brother very well, if it weren’t for his nose being frozen, he wouldn’t be able to bear the leather covering.

   “Brother, why don’t we stop for a rest and wait until the snow is lighter?” Yan Er Er suggested.

  The snow tonight, those rescued women in Guanzhou called it smoky snow.

  Wherever the wind blows, there will be snow.

  The snow on the ground was pushed all the way, and when the two wind currents met, they were so excited that they hugged and spun around, and the snow was rolled up in the air like smoke coming out of the chimneys of every family in the village, spinning, jumping and flying around…

   “Where is the direction?” Yan Huaiwen is most concerned about this. This kind of bad weather is the easiest way to get lost.

   “It’s definitely not wrong, brother, look back, we are walking in a straight line, straight.” Yan’s second child pointed to the back.

  Yan Huaiwen squinted and looked over, judging from the footprints, it was indeed the case.

   “Uncle, let’s take a rest, it’s too cold for Mavericks to bear.” Yan Yu poked his head out, and the cold wind refreshed his head as soon as his head came out, his eyes brightened instantly, and he was no longer sleepy.

  The rescued children, like Yan Yu, were either carried on the backs of Xiaoan villagers, or hugged in front of them, wrapped in sheepskins, leaving only a little space for them to breathe, so they were warm.

  The women were grateful in their hearts, and reciprocated to take care of the Mavericks who were struggling to follow.

  Cuddle them in your arms.

  At first they walked on the ground by themselves, but later the big guys saw that this was not an option, so they made room on the sledge for them to hold the calf and sit on it.

   Fortunately, the cows seem to be familiar with them. As long as they can see the calves, they have no intention of snatching them back.

   “Stop and rest.” Yan Huaiwen shouted loudly.

  The team stopped from front to back.

  Yan Yu was somewhat nostalgic for the warmth in the basket, and didn’t want to go out, so she said to Fourth Uncle Qi: “Uncle Qi, let’s go look for it in the back, I remember there is wine.”

  Qi Si responded and handed over the rope of the cow to Qi Wu.

   Carrying Xiaoer on his back and walking to the back.

   When the two of them found the sledge for wine and pulled it back, the big guy had already led the cattle together and formed a circle, which could somewhat block the wind.

   “Stay alive, let the sheep come here.” Yan Yu shouted.

   Groups of sheep bleat and squeeze together to keep each other warm.

  There are no dogs chasing them. They are very quiet at night, and they can fall asleep standing up with their eyes closed…

  The big guy gathered the charcoal he brought and the firewood he picked up on the road, and finally ignited the fire and burned it into a big fire.

Everyone huddled together, passed the Beirong wine to each other, took a sip, and couldn’t taste much, but they could feel a warm current flowing down their throats, and the face and hands gradually softened, not as hard as before Yes, I can’t speak clearly as if I had water in my mouth.

   Qi Si put the basket on the ground.

  Yan Yu crawled out from inside.

  Stand outside and do a set of messy fists and kicks to move your hands and feet.

   Then I looked for a handy board to push the snow.

  Push the snow up, slap it down with a plank, and push…

   Qi Si knows what she is going to do best.

  Pile up snow to block the wind.

  Two people worked together, and within a short while, a snow wall half as high as a person was erected.

  Yan Er Er came to his senses and went to find the board too.

   Qi Da also followed to help.

  Yan Huaiwen also went to push the snow.

  The yamen servants saw all the people in Xiao’an Village move, pushing the snow nearby and even further away, looked at each other, and left the place closest to the fire, and ran to help.

  When a large, irregular snow wall was piled up, the big guy sat down again, and was surprised to find that it was indeed much warmer.

   Typos are corrected first and then corrected~
