One night not long ago, neither the big cow nor the calf returned to the cowshed, and they were not seen outside even during the day. The white cow was a little unaccustomed to living without its kind - mother and son, especially when they could only hear At night when the wind was howling on the grassland, it felt extremely lonely and ominous.
The next morning, around 9 o'clock, the sun had risen high, but no one came to the cowshed to take the white cow out to graze. It wanted to use the hard skin of its buttocks against the wooden stake to rub the rope holding the wooden pole of its nostrils. break. Because it was hungry, the owner didn't give it any fodder last night, so it had no energy. After a few wipes, it felt like it was struggling and gave up. It mooed for a long time, and mooed again, but there was no movement.
After a while, I heard the voices of people outside the cattle pen, which gradually became clearer and clearer. White Cow saw Liao Hao coming with a group of strange men. It had been a long time since he had seen this evil-hearted master. Today he came, not with a straight face as usual, but with a smile on his face.
He walked into the cowshed carrying an empty basin and squatted under the belly of the white cow to milk it. This time the milking was no different than usual. He squeezed the breasts hard after milking them dry, which was very painful.
The white cow stomped her feet uncomfortably. As if he was afraid that the white cow's feet would hurt him, he simply stood up and walked out of the cowshed with half a basin of fresh milk.
A group of men gathered around the door and watched strangely. Liao Hao put the basin outside the door, then went into the cowshed and took out the white cow. A group of men made way out of the way and watched Liao Hao lead the white cow into the field.
Xu Qinqin brought a basin of soy milk for the hungry white cow to drink. The white cow was eager to fill its stomach and didn't care about what was going on around it. However, out of the corner of its eye, it inadvertently saw a bearded man from the group of men approaching him. He took out a thick rope and quietly wrapped it around its hind legs.
It didn't react at all and just sucked the warm soy milk that tasted good. It also discovered that another man with splayed eyebrows was carrying a bamboo basket. The mouth of the basket was covered with a gray cloth. What was in the basket? I don’t know, I feel like it’s not something I care about.
At this moment, the white cow just drank soy milk and blinked her eyes from time to time, not wanting to look at those strange and strange faces. But at this moment, it discovered that Liao Hao's son Liao Chi was here. His little face also showed an unusual look. He took Xu Qinqin's hand and said, Mom, is the beef delicious?
The white cow heard this and was surprised. Does anyone want to eat beef? Want to kill us for meat? It no longer bothered to lick the last bit of soy milk from the bottom of its pelvic floor. When it raised its head, it realized that the beard had already wrapped its two front legs with the thick rope.
Then the other 7 people and the bearded people formed 8 people. Each two people stood on the side of the white cow's front legs and hind legs, and tied the ropes respectively. The beard shouted, and everyone tried their best together. Before the white cow could recover from the daze, it was made to fall to the ground with a bang. Its four front and rear legs were bound by thick ropes, and the more it jumped, the more it jumped. The tighter it is, the less flexible it will be.
Of course the white cow is jumping, and jumping means struggling, hoping to break free from the rope that binds itself, stand up, and run toward the vast grassland to escape for its life. But at this moment, this thought was no more than a dream. It saw the man with the inverted eyebrows approaching it and tearing open the gray cloth covering the mouth of the basket. Inside were the gleaming long-handled red knife, the razor blade and the curling knife. .
I saw him take out a long-handled red knife and approach the white cow and stab it in the neck... The white cow that had eaten the red knife was in extreme pain when he heard Liao Hao say, "I am being prosecuted, detained, This damn white cow is responsible for the fine and misfortune. I will send it back to my hometown today and peel off its skin and eat its meat to relieve my hatred.
The inverted eyebrows held the red knife tightly and twisted the white cow's neck hard. Its throat and blood tank were pierced. The pain reached the limit, and it no longer hurt. Its soul left its body and floated above everyone's heads. It saw Liao Hao bringing an empty basin. The empty basin that had received its milk was now placed under its neck.
As the inverted eyebrows pulled away the blood-soaked red knife, warm blood gurgled out from the holes in the white cow's neck, and a red waterfall poured into the empty basin below. The empty basin gradually filled up. Halfway through, the blood dripping from the hole in the neck of the white cow was almost gone. Liao Chi asked in confusion, what's the point of catching cow's blood?
Beef blood is delicious and a delicious dish. Liao Hao explained casually. Then he opened the basin containing the cow's blood. Liao Chi stared at the cow's blood in the basin strangely. It was like fire, and like the morning glow over the grassland, which was shining to the extreme and slowly dissipated.
When Liao Hao brought most of the basin of cow blood into the yurt and Liao Chi withdrew his gaze, the soul of the white cow floating in the sky, faced with the tragic scene of slaughtering it, was very angry at first, but gradually lost the pain It also watched for a while like a child watching the fun, as if the inverted eyebrow was killing an animal that had nothing to do with it. But then I thought about it, and of course I knew that the poor animal being slaughtered was me. It didn't want to continue watching. In the vast sky over the grassland, it wandered around in panic like a strange bird invisible to mortals.
In the underworld, there is a place where the four lives return to the soul. What are the four lives? That is, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, fish, turtles, mosquitoes, etc. were all human beings in their past lives. Due to too many sins, they were reborn in different types in the four lives after death, and it was difficult to recover their human bodies for hundreds of kalpas. Human beings are the spiritual leaders of all things. If they can cultivate their moral character, accumulate virtue and do good deeds while alive, they will receive greater blessings from man and nature after death. Otherwise, if you do a lot of bad things while you are still alive, you may degenerate into beasts after death.
If you can change your mind as a beast, perform more meritorious deeds in the world to atone for your sins, be like a police dog to solve crimes or hunt down fugitives and other criminals, be like a carrier pigeon to convey information about just wars, and make a great contribution to the cause of peaceful liberation of mankind, even if you are destined to be reincarnated for many lives before you can recover, you will still be able to return to the human body. Those whose accumulated merits in one or two lives are greater than their sins can recover their bodies early or ascend to heaven to become gods.
Of course, those who have been reduced to animals and continue to do evil will never be able to escape the fate of animals. They will live and die in a harsh environment where the weak eat the strong, and there will be no recovery.
At that moment, the soul of the white cow was wandering in the sky, and suddenly it found an auspicious cloud flying into the golden and auspicious heaven. It also wanted to fly to the heaven with the auspicious cloud, but it couldn't move, and was blocked by an invisible net. .
In an instant, a strong earth energy sucked its scattered spirits from the sky into the four souls returning to the soul palace in the earth cave. It stood there and looked at Chitose, who was wearing a high hat and a long robe, and put his hands With a wave of his hand, it immediately recalled its spirit. Then, the white cow turned into a middle-aged man.
