There are 10 villages distributed in Guanghuailing area, including two large villages, one is Lijia Village and the other is Chenjia Village.
Most of the villagers in Lijia Village are surnamed Li. They regard Zhang Shaofei as a member of the same clan and clan five hundred years ago. They treat him like a brother. They care more about him and feel like brothers.
In Lijia Village, Zhang Shaofei went up the mountain to collect firewood and dig medicinal materials with the villagers. When he started working, he never spared his own strength and worked hard. Therefore, everyone likes him to come and help with the work.
During the day, he came down the mountain to help the villagers work. In the evening, he climbed back to the Yingzui Rock at the top of the mountain, covered in sweat.
In the remote and desolate mountains, most mountain people make a living by hunting, often setting up nets and traps in places where animals roam.
When Zhang Shaofei sees a pheasant or the like falling into a hunter's net or caught in an iron clamp, he will quietly go to untie the net and loosen the clamp to let the prey go.
Whenever Zhang Shaofei found chicken in the pot during meals, he would only eat the vegetables in it.
Once, he was having dinner at the house of a hunter named Li Yong. Li Yong asked him: "Brother, why do you only eat vegetables and not meat?"
Li Yong's son Li Jinwu and daughter Li Jinlian also asked curiously: "Really?"
Zhang Shaofei smiled and said to them: "This has always been my habit. I think eating vegetables is more beneficial to the body."
After hearing this, they looked at Zhang Shaofei in confusion and thought: Why don't they eat such fragrant chicken?
…
On this day, the bright sunshine was shining on Guanghuailing. In the clear blue sky, white clouds were drifting in the wind, and everything seemed full of vitality. Li Jinlian faced the mountain breeze and went to the northern foot of Guanghuailing to pick mushrooms. Suddenly she heard the shrill wails of wild beasts coming from the valley.
When Li Jinlian heard this, she couldn't help but said: "This wailing sound came from the place where the animal trap was installed at home."
Li Jinlian hurriedly walked over there and saw a bison in the grass in the valley with its right foot caught in a trap and struggling desperately.
"Ah, the animal trap recently installed in the mountains finally caught a bison today." Li Jinlian couldn't help but be overjoyed.
She knew that she, a woman, could not carry the bison back. No, I have to go home and ask my brother and dad to come with me. So, she hurriedly ran home.
At this time, Zhang Shaofei was on a hillside not far away when he heard the cry of animals. He knew something was happening. After listening carefully for a while, he discerned the direction of the cry, and then followed the sound and saw a bison. His right foot was caught in a bear trap, and he bled a lot, staining a large area of the bear trap and the grass red.
Zhang Shaofei looked carefully and saw that the bison was hit by an arrow.
While Zhang Shaofei was hesitating, suddenly a little buffalo with light yellow fur and still childishness stumbled over from there, came to the side of the buffalo that was trapped in the trap, turned around anxiously a few times, and then got in. The big bison sucks milk under its belly.
Zhang Shaofei couldn't help but say: "Ah, they are mother and son!"
When the cow saw her baby coming, her natural motherly love made her ignore the pain she was suffering, and she still stood strong and straight, letting the calf suck its milk.
When it noticed some movement on Zhang Shaofei's side, it raised its head, looked at Zhang Shaofei, and called him softly a few times. Its eyes and screams were pleading.
The calf seemed to have discovered Zhang Shaofei, but they did not abandon their mother in panic and run away, but continued to feed on their mother's milk.
"Ah, what a pitiful mother and son!" Zhang Shaofei was deeply moved by the affection between the bison mother and her son. He felt his throat was itchy, his eyes kept blinking, and a layer of tears soon covered his eyes.
Facing this situation, Zhang Shaofei's heart was churning: If the cow is caught by a hunter later and killed for cooking, even if the poor calf escapes, it will lose its own mother and maternal love. , lose the opportunity to breastfeed, that is to say, they will lose the ability to survive, and what awaits them in the end is death. This is a tragedy of "one corpse, two lives"!
Zhang Shaofei couldn't resist the impulse in his heart and hurriedly walked forward and squatted down next to the cow.
Seeing that Zhang Shaofei had no ill intentions towards their mother and child, the calf took a few steps back and stood by fearlessly stamping its feet to watch.
Zhang Shaofei pulled out its right foot from its sharp teeth, then pulled out the sharp arrows from the cow's body, threw it on the ground, caressed the cow's body kindly, and said to it: "Hurry up. Take the kids and run away.”
Cow knew from Zhang Shaofei's series of actions just now that the young man came to rescue her. At this moment, she seemed to understand Zhang Shaofei's words, looked at him with grateful eyes, nodded gently to him, and wanted to leave, but It staggered forward for a few steps, leaned to the side, lost its balance, and fell to the ground.
Zhang Shaofei saw that the cow's two wounds were still bleeding and knew that it was seriously injured. Even if it can walk away, if the bleeding cannot be stopped, it will slowly bleed out and die in the mountains.
"No, the top priority is to inject blood into the cow's wound!" Zhang Shaofei stood on tiptoes and looked around, searching. Seeing that there were no mountain herbs nearby that could stop the bleeding, he thought about it and remembered that he had been there not far from here. After picking herbs from the mountain stream to stop bleeding, he pointed to the other side of the mountain stream and said to the cow: "Don't be afraid. I will take you there and collect medicine for you to stop bleeding." After saying that, he squatted down. He came down, picked up the injured cow, and walked towards the mountain stream.
The calf followed its mother away from the dangerous place where her mother almost died.
The sun is rising in the sky, the mountain wind is blowing, and the sound of the surrounding forest waves is rising and falling.
Not long after Zhang Shaofei left with the cow in his arms, a group of hunters hurried towards this side. They were Chen Tianbao, the hunter from Chenjia Village, and his brothers.
The arrow that hit the cow was shot by Chen Tianbao.
Chen Tianbao and the others were hunting in the mountains. After wandering around for a long time, they found a bison walking in the bushes in the distance. They quietly walked forward, drew their bows and nocked arrows, and shot at the target. When the sharp arrows flew past, When they heard the cry of the bison, they knew the arrow had hit.
Chen Tianbao led the people from Chenjia Village and followed the blood trail left by the bison when they escaped. They chased them until they reached the grass on a small hill. They saw a large pool of blood on the ground, but no trace of the bison.
Chen Tianbao's younger brother Chen Tianxiao found an arrow in the grass. He picked it up and looked at it, and said with certainty: "Brother A Bao, this is your arrow!"
Chen Tianbao took the sharp arrow and took a look: indeed, this was the arrow he had just shot. The bright red blood on the arrow had not yet dried. He shook the sharp arrow and said to Chen Tianxiao: "Brother, I just shot this arrow." After the arrow, I clearly heard the scream of the bison behind the bushes in the distance, and then I saw it running away desperately. Now, there is still blood on the arrow. Obviously, my arrow hit that A bison’s.”
Chen Tianbao was thinking about it. Suddenly, he saw a guy in the grass. When he stepped forward to take a look, he couldn't help shouting: "Ah, a bear trap!"
Chen Tianxiao lowered his head to identify it for a while and found that the animal trap was engraved with the character "李". He pointed at the animal trap and said, "There is the character "李" on it."
Chen Tianbao asked: "You didn't see it wrong, right?"
Chen Tianxiao said with certainty: "I can guarantee that you will not be mistaken. Except for the people in Lijiacun, no one else will install a bear trap here."
Someone from Chenjiacun made a judgment: "So, the bison must have been taken away by the people from Lijiacun."
Chen Tianbao's mouth showed a look of contempt, "Huh! It's the people from Lijiacun again! They actually want to get something for nothing at my hands, it's not that cheap!" Chen Tianbao vented his resentment, "They are doing this openly. Our eyebrows.”
The people next to him also followed and shouted: "Yes, the people in Lijia Village are really bullying others by doing this!"
"We can't let this go!"
"We want them to return the bison we hunted!"
Facing the angry and grievances of everyone, Chen Tianbao made up his mind, and his voice was like thunder: "I will settle all the grievances and grievances I had with them in the past with them face to face today!"
