Needless to say, Ding Sitian’s look told me that the frightened cattle were running towards us. The cattle on the grassland were always gentle, but once they frightened the herd, they formed a group attack, which was more powerful than a runaway wild horse.

It's so fierce that hundreds of cows can't stop them if they get mad and can't stop them. Even cars can be trampled to pieces.

I didn't bother to ask why the cattle had exploded, so I jumped up from the ground and kicked the fat man awake. However, the "chief" Lao Ni drank too much yesterday and couldn't wake him up no matter how hard he kicked me. In desperation, I had no choice but to

He and the fat man carried him. Fortunately, he slept with his clothes on. All that was left of his belongings was this outfit. He only grabbed his military satchel and followed Ding Sitian out of the tent.

It was already bright outside, and dust was rising all over the sky in the east. The sound of stampeding hooves was mixed with the wails and screams of the cattle in the herd, and they rushed towards us. There were a few loyal ones.

The shepherd dog rushed over and barked at the frantic cattle, trying to help its owner stop the cattle, but at this time the cattle were already red-eyed, and their running momentum did not stop at all. In an instant, the dogs were trampled on the grass, and they were trampled into pieces.

Meat paste.

How could I have imagined such a formation? Seeing the cattle charging rampantly, it was too late to go to the side to avoid the collision and stampede of the cattle. However, if we waited in the distance, we would be crushed by the cattle's hooves. We were shocked and stunned for a moment.

With such little effort, even the voices were drowned out. In the chaos, Ding Sitian grabbed my arm and ran towards the back of the yurt as hard as she could.

I knew full well that I couldn't run away from Jingniu with my two fleshy legs, and I couldn't ask Ding Sitian why she was running there. Although I was worried that she would lose her mind and run away from the fright, I still followed her with the fat man carrying Lao Ni.

I ran over without looking back. Just from the sound, I could tell that the cattle behind me were getting closer and closer. The yurt they had just stayed at had been trampled. Within a dozen steps, they would be trampled to death by random hooves.

In despair, I discovered that a few steps ahead was a dry river ditch. This ditch had been weathered for a long time and had dried up for hundreds of years. The ditch was gradually eroded by sand and grass, and now it was only about one meter deep and about half a meter deep.

The remains of a wide gully were like a crack in the green velvet grass carpet. It was also one of several natural firebreaks on the grassland. Only then did I understand Ding Sitian’s intention. She led us to run here because she wanted to

The group jumped into the ditch to avoid the collision of the frightened cattle.

The fat man and I carried "Chief Ni" and stabbed Ding Sitian with all our strength. The four of us almost rolled into the dry ditch. As soon as we entered the ditch, it became dark above our heads, and sand and grass clippings fell one after another, deafening.

The sound of hoofbeats made people tremble, and we covered our ears tightly. We don’t know how long it took before the howling and screaming cattle completely crossed the ditch.

"Chief" Lao Ni finally woke up from the torture. He sat in the ditch and looked at the three of us. He was at a loss. What happened just now? At this time, "Lao Yangpi" and his son and daughter-in-law rushed over.

We were not allowed to chase the cattle. We were relieved when we saw that Lao Ni was alright and pulled us out of the ditch. Everyone talked about what had just happened. It turned out that almost everyone had drunk too much last night. I don’t know who was holding the horse before leaving.

The fence of the cattle pen was brought down, and the largest herd of cattle in the Balenzuo Banner was here. Fortunately, there were loyal shepherd dogs that surrounded the cattle so that they did not get lost. The cattle were grazing on the grass outside the pen. In the morning

Nothing has happened yet.

When "Lao Yangpi" woke up in the morning, he found that all the cows were out of the pen. This happened often and it was nothing to make a fuss about. So he called his son and his daughter-in-law to come out to help herd the cows. As soon as they got behind the herd, something unexpected happened.

One thing happened, a big gadfly appeared out of nowhere and bit a cow hard.

The cow's tail usually swings around, mainly used to hit gadflies or mosquitoes in the grass. The gadfly is a kind of insect. It is actually divided into two categories: meat-eating and vegetarian. The male only sucks grass juice, and the female

The gadfly specializes in sucking the blood of livestock. It has a gray-black body and transparent wings. Compared to mosquitoes and flies, the gadfly is especially frightening to cattle. This big gadfly probably escaped the blow of the cow's tail whip and bit it firmly.

It hit the sensitive part of the cow. The pain was so painful that the cow jumped up high, frightening the rest of the cows. They were knocked out like headless flies and rushed towards the yurt. Ding Sitian found that the cow had exploded.

After the group, he did not run for his own life and took the risk to rescue the three people who were still sleeping. Otherwise, everyone and the tent would be turned into turf now.

No one could stop the cattle when they were frightened, because the noise was so fierce that even the horses were frightened to the point where their legs were weak and they did not dare to chase after them. They could only let them run wildly on the grassland until they were exhausted.

Stop, then the shepherd can catch up and chase the cow back.

After Lao Ni understood the whole story, he was so frightened that he almost lost his soul. If the educated youth had not risked their lives to save him, he might have died in his sleep without knowing how he died. He was so grateful that he shook hands with us. What did Fatty and I look like?

Have you ever seen the leader? Of course he doesn't take the big-ass little cadre like Lao Ni seriously like ordinary herdsmen do, but I think he is relatively easy-going and approachable, and saving people is a matter of course, so he doesn't take credit for it.

"Chief Ni" said to everyone again: "Even the police said that in this small world, there are a few flies hitting the wall. I think it's not a big deal if there are a few gadflies causing trouble on the grassland. I just want to catch up the stray cattle as soon as possible."

That's great, I will report the exemplary deeds of your pastoral area when I get back, and my superiors will also call on all pastoral and forest areas to learn from you, so don't make any mistakes at this time." After saying this, he looked at his eyes.

"Old Sheeppi" asked him why he didn't hurry up and chase those cattle?

"Old Sheepskin's" wrinkled old face was colorless, with a lost expression. After grazing the cattle across the ditch, he divided into several groups and ran away. One group ran wildly towards the direction of the "Hundred Eyes Cave" deep in the grassland.

Elsewhere, things were fine. As soon as he mentioned that place, "Old Sheeppi" felt frightened. Of course, he didn't dare to tell Lao Ni directly for this reason.

I could see clearly from the sidelines and knew the difficulties of "Lao Sheeppi". I didn't believe that there was any "demon dragon" deep in the grassland. I immediately stood up and told Lao Ni that I would be responsible for chasing back the cows that ran to the west.

It is not easy to create a model pastoral area in China. Can we not make any noise about this matter? Otherwise, the advanced model of "Old Sheepskin" will become a backward model.

Lao Ni nodded and said: "It's fine for the educated youth to go over there to chase the cattle, but you have to be careful. After crossing Mobei, you will reach the national border. If the cattle run into Outer Mongolia, you will be in trouble if you want to get them back. That belongs to

International incidents will cause huge losses to national property. For now, I will do my best to suppress this matter for the time being. I will wait for you to come back here. After counting the amount of losses, I will go back and report to my superiors. The cattle are running away.

A lot of calves have been trampled to death, so I think we must find a way to minimize the losses."

Ding Sitian had already led three horses out. When she heard what Lao Ni said, she said to him: "You are too worried. The cattle will not run into the desert. At most, they will circle on the grassland, and no matter how they run, they will

There are not many wolves in the Barenzuo Banner, and the few prairie wolves dare not take advantage of them. There should be no other surprises. We will definitely be able to complete the task and bring back the cattle one by one."

I saw that she was leading three horses, so I asked Ding Sitian why you want to go to the west with us to chase the cattle? It is said that it is very dangerous there, so you should not go there. Ding Sitian said stubbornly: "Although you claim to be brave,

You can catch the moon in the sky, and you can catch turtles in the five oceans, but you have never even ridden a horse. How can you chase a cow if you don't know how to ride a horse? Besides, I am an educated youth who jumps in the queue in this pastoral area. I am also responsible for anything that happens in the pastoral area, so

Of course I want to go." After saying that, she went to fetch some saddles and stirrups. Fatty and I didn't know how to ride horses at all, so we had no choice but to agree and let her lead the way.

At this time, "Old Sheepskin" came over hesitantly. Even three educated youths were able to risk approaching "Baiyan Cave" for the sake of pastoral areas. At this time, what else can this old man not do? And the most important thing is

Unfortunately, if not only the cattle were not recovered, but the educated youth had another accident, it would be even more difficult to explain. He finally made up his mind to let his son and daughter-in-law find other groups of stray cattle, and then stay and take care of them.

"Chief Ni", and repaired the cattle and sheep pens, and he himself went with the three of us to the direction of "Baiyan Cave" to chase cattle.

We didn't dare to be lazy. We found some emergency supplies in another yurt that had not been trampled by the cattle, and everyone hurriedly set off separately. Riding horses for novices does require a familiar process, but the fat man and I

We are naturally adaptable to this kind of thing, and with the guidance of Ding Sitian and "Lao Yangpi", within a few miles, we have basically mastered the essentials.

The key to riding a horse is not to compete with the horse. When the horse is walking or running fast, clamp the horse with your calves, knees and inner thighs, lean forward, maintain a feeling of touching but not touching the ground with the saddle, and follow the rhythm of the horse's running.

, must not let one's body become stiff, the four people drove the horses to gallop on the grassland, as if they were gliding in the wind on the sea of ​​grass. The fat man and I were very happy, thinking that this time we were really addicted to horses.

Just for this reason, chasing the cattle is not in vain.

The herdsmen who broke out in the herd would not stop running, and after a delay just now, they could not catch up for a while. Fortunately, the traces along the way were obvious, so there was no need to worry about losing them. "Old Sheepskin" was worried that I had played with the fat man.

We had our heads turned upside down, and we were not wearing riding boots. Once we fell off the horse, it was no joke to fall into the stirrups. We only allowed our horses to run for a distance, and then gradually slowed down.

I took this opportunity to ask "Lao Yangpi", the place name of "Baiyan Cave" is very strange, but why did it get its name? "Lao Yangpi" said that he didn't know much, but he only heard that there were many caves in the grassland nearby.

The entrance to the cave is surprisingly large, filled with dry water holes, and there are caves one after another. It may be because there are so many caves that it is called the "Hundred Eyes Cave". Because there are so many people and animals missing there, no one has come close to it for many years.

, it's not clear whether this is really the case.

"Lao Yangpi" has always been afraid of the black dragon that appears near the "Hundred Eyes Cave". I think it was probably because of the disappearance of his brother that year that it cast a shadow in his heart. There is an unsolvable knot in his heart. I don't

Knowing how to persuade him, I had to comfort him that there was no such creature as a "dragon" in the world, it was just a totem created by the ancients.

Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered the broken book "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" passed down from my family. There seemed to be many chapters mentioning "dragons" in it. This broken book is the only one left in my family.

I always carry my property with me, but I didn't look at it carefully at that time, so I took it out and flipped through it on horseback. Sure enough, I found the "Search for Dragons". It said: "The mountains and rivers stop and rise and fall, and they become dragons.

The terrain stretches and condenses into a dragon." It seems that the dragon is also a symbol of the mountain, but the book does not say that the dragon is alive.

The fat man had always disliked my crappy book. When he saw that I was making trouble with it again, he immediately mocked me and said, "Why haven't you thrown away this Four Old Readings yet? This kind of nonsense book is poisonous."

Yes, my comrade, you will be poisoned if you look at it for a long time, and you actually dare to show it to others, trying to instill vulgar taste into poor and lower-middle peasants and revolutionary comrades?"

I retorted: "You know what you are, you are justified in talking nonsense, and you are not guilty of vulgar taste. Besides, I always look at it with a critical eye..." As he was speaking, "Lao Sheepskin" suddenly reined in the horse.

He told our three educated youths that at the end of Caodianzi was the Baiyan Cave. He dared to swear to the Heaven of Immortality that he was the demon dragon he saw there. The terrifying scene will never be forgotten until his death.

At that time, the red sun was in the sky. We were riding on horses, setting up a pergola with our hands and looking to the west. We saw the silent prairie with yellow grass stretching to the sky, a vast expanse, and at the end of the undulating sea of ​​grass, there was a piece of raised hills, which looked like a few hills on the sea of ​​grass.

There is an isolated island, which is the Baiyan Cave that makes "Old Sheepskin" talk about it. It seems that the cattle are rushing over there. If they don't find the cattle, everyone can't explain it when they go back. It seems that no matter it is a dragon pool or a tiger's den, they have to go and explore it.

Checked it out.

"Lao Yangpi" brought out a Mongolian sword. It was a true Kangxi sword. It was given to a Mongolian prince by the emperor. Later, when the Four Old Ages were broken, the prince's descendants asked Lao Yangpi to help him secretly steal the sword.

He threw it away. Lao Yangpi knew that the knife was a treasure. At that time, he didn't realize it. He thought it would be a pity to throw it away, so he hid it in his home. The quality of his home was low and no one paid attention to him at all, so he kept it.

Come down.

He felt that Kangxi's sword could ward off evil spirits and exorcise demons, so he took it with him. Maybe he had no intention of going back alive this time, which seemed very tragic. At this time, he was about to approach the "Hundred Eyes Cave", and "Lao Sheepskin"

"With a screeching sound, he drew his sword out of its sheath and roared in Qin opera to embolden himself and the educated youths. He shouted while urging his horse to move forward, and his broken gong-like voice roared as he sang: "Hey Zhao Zilong..." This

A line from the Qin opera was blurted out, and the roar was high-pitched and passionate, causing inexplicable grief and anger.

Our scalps went numb because of "Lao Yangpi"'s earth-shattering voice. Although we had never heard the real Qin Opera, we all felt that his broken voice was so authentic. At this time, we really

The courageous Zhao Zilong who needs to be sung encouraged everyone. Just when he was about to cheer him, he suddenly stopped shouting and stared firmly at the marks trampled by the cattle on the ground. It turned out that the cattle had run here.

After that, the running angle deviated slightly and was no longer pointing directly in the direction of the "Baiyan Cave". "Old Sheeppi" was immediately overjoyed and thanked Changshengtian that these cattle ancestors did not enter the "Baiyan Cave". But we did not

I was happy for too long, and I followed the trail. After a few miles, the footprints of more than a hundred cows on the grassland disappeared out of thin air. The chaotic hoof prints stopped in one place. Could it be that this large group of cattle
Chapter completed!
