The butcher cattle

Once upon a time, there was a butcher named Zhang. He was very skilled at killing cattle and never missed. As a result, Butcher Zhang's business is booming. Every day, people bring cattle to him and ask him to help slaughter them. He takes everything he gets.

But this time, Butcher Zhang was a little confused. Originally, early this morning, someone took a calf, said to let him help slaughter. Looking at the calf only a few months old, Butcher Zhang was a little curious: "Such a small calf, what do you kill it?"

The man sighed and said, "The boy at home is sick, so the doctor said we should eat beef. We have no money to buy beef, and we can't kill the big cow. We have to rely on it for work, so we have to kill the calf."

Butcher Zhang heard this and moved his muscles and bones. Only a few times, he tied down the calf and turned around to take a knife.

Just then, there was a moo sound and a loud clatter as something rushed towards Butcher Zhang.

Zhang Butcher looked back, startled, rushed over is actually a big cow, nose on a big gap, still dripping blood, is "wheezing" to gasp for breath, straight to their own rushed over.

Butcher Zhang jumped and rolled to one side. He was afraid that the big ox rushed over again, dare not immediately get up, but the knife in his hand dance into a ball, trying to drive away the big ox rushed over.

For a long time no movement, Butcher Zhang looked up and found that the big cow did not rush over, but standing in front of the calf, mouth biting the rope tied to the calf, in the non-stop pull, the blood on the nose rubbed against the calf, the calf "moo" to call non-stop.

Butcher Zhang paused for a moment and realized that the cow had come to save the calf. Looking at the dazed owner of the cow, Butcher Zhang shouted: "What are you looking at? Take the cow away quickly!"

The owner of the cow looked puzzled and walked towards the cow, saying, "It's impossible. I was afraid it would follow me, so I used a pure steel nose ring to fasten it. How did it get free?"

Butcher Zhang was a little angry, said: "Don't say those useless, you this cow in the end still kill? Kill you or take it away, don't destroy my brand!"

The owner of the cow quickly said, "Kill! I'll get the cow, and you can kill the calf." With these words, he stepped up to the ox and was about to pull the ox's rope.

But on closer inspection, the rope tied to the nose of the rhubarb was long gone. It turned out that the owner of the cow tied up the cow and took the calf to Butcher Zhang's house. However, the cow, who had lived in the village for many years and had long understood human nature, knew that Butcher Zhang's house was the place where the cow could not return to. She was so worried that she pulled the nose ring off her nose abruptly and rushed over all the way. The rope was still tied to the stake of the cow.

Butcher Zhang saw the cow owner staring at the cow with a shocked look on his face and said angrily, "You go find a stick and drive it away!"

The owner of the cow got zhang butcher's instructions, suddenly understand, turned around to find a stick, hit the cow, only to listen to the "thunk" sound, the cow reeling, unexpectedly no reaction, mouth firmly bite the rope binding calf, want to untie the rope.

The owner, unconvinced, swung the stick so many times that the cow fell to her knees on her hind legs, but there was no change in the movement of her mouth.

Butcher Zhang looked irritated and shouted: "Go away!" With these words, he picked up his sharp knife and thrust it at him. There was a "splash" and the knife went into the bull and disappeared into the hilt.

At last the cow let out a loud moo, clearly in pain. The head of the ox turned, the horn stabbed butcher Zhang in the past.

Butcher Zhang hurried back, who knew that the rhubarb ox body swing, ox horn straight stabbed behind the owner of the ox. The owner of the cow was taken aback and quickly stepped aside.

Just then there was a moo and the cow began again. They fixed their eyes on it, but it was the calf. The cow had gnawed away the rope that bound the calf after all the trouble.

Butcher Zhang took a moment to see that the cow was teetering, but it was still standing in front of them, fighting for its life. He suddenly understood and shouted: "Stop that calf, it is running away." Then he rushed out with a knife in his hand. The cow seemed to understand what Butcher Zhang wanted to do. The cow turned its head and came over to Butcher Zhang again.

Butcher Zhang dodged, the sharp knife forward, just stabbed the cow. The cow fell to the ground with a crash, slowly closed her eyes, and died.

Butcher Zhang ran after him for a few steps, but when he could not catch up with him, he threw the knife away with a loud clatter. The knife cut a long hole in the calf's hind leg and dropped to the ground. The calf staggered, but did not stop, limping away.

The butcher zhang and the owner of the cow were so frightened that they had no strength to chase after the dead cow.

A few years passed in a twinkling of an eye, the cow rescued the calf, Butcher Zhang has forgotten almost. However, he regarded this as a disgrace and began not only to slaughter cattle, but also to sell beef. Sometimes he did not collect enough cattle and even went to the bull market to buy cattle to slaughter.

This day, Zhang Butcher behind his back, is preparing to buy several large fat cattle to slaughter bull market. However, after wandering around the market for a long time today, he could not help feeling annoyed and turned to go home with his hands behind his back.

Just then, there was a sound of a cow on the left. Zhang butcher's eyes a bright, he killed cattle for many years, has developed a set of ways to distinguish good or bad cattle. Just now this cow called loud, full of energy, certainly is a bullock.

Zhang Butcher followed the sound, looking for the past, in a small corner on the left side of the exit, saw a big cow, shiny horns, fat body, Zhang butcher eyes bright, thought: this head.

To his surprise, the cow, who had been standing on the side just now, suddenly saw Butcher Zhang and his eyes were bloodshot. He cried out "Moo", pawed his front hoof on the ground, lowered his head and rushed straight at Butcher Zhang.

Zhang Butcher did not expect this, a little leng, the big cow has arrived in front of zhang butcher scared hurriedly flash, but still was pushed to the arm, only to feel a pang of pain.

The owner of the cow and the people around him immediately reacted and rushed to pull away the big cow. However, the obedient big cow in the past still wanted to fight the butcher crazily without knowing why. Zhang Butcher helpless, dragging the stump hand, turned to climb up a tree.

The owner of the cow breathlessly shouted: "This big yellow cow used to be extremely docile, how so fierce today..." He pulled at the rope again.

Next to an old man cold hum 1: "You this is really a docile good cow? He has a long scar on his hind leg! How did a mild-mannered cow get such a scar?"

The butcher zhang on the tree seemed to suddenly realize something, took out a thing from his arms and threw it to the clearing. The cow suddenly stopped struggling, quieted down, and motioned to its owner to move toward the clearing. The cow leaned over, smelled what Butcher Zhang had thrown, licked it with his tongue, and then shed tears.

When everyone looked at it, they were all puzzled. It turned out to be a bull nose ring stained with old blood. Only Butcher Zhang knew that the nose ring was left by the cow in that year. He asked the owner of the cow to take it with him.

From then on, Butcher Zhang never killed cattle again.
