When Buckwheat began to raise pigs, she thoroughly cleaned the pigsty and the stone trough for feeding the pigs, sprinkled quicklime water everywhere, and laid hay. The remaining six and a half big pigs were driven to the river from the back door to bathe and let the sun dry them before they were put into the pigsty.
Every day, she had to carefully wash the vegetable leaves, pig grass, and potatoes that were fed to the pigs, then cut them into fine pieces, put them into a large iron pot, cook them with corn noodles or potatoes, and then feed them to the pigs. Morning, noon, and evening, three times a day, every time must be full. The leftovers from the day before were not given to the pigs the next day and were thrown away.
Under her meticulous care, she had grown fat in more than two months. Old Master Hai was very happy to see it.
Half a year later, the six pigs had already become fat pigs.
It happened to be the new year, so he killed two of them and invited the various village masters to eat for a day.
Everyone in Hai clan praised Buckwheat Flower.
After the new year, the Hai family bought more than ten little pigs, in addition to the original three big pigs. They were too busy and were ready to find someone.
One day, her younger brother came to look for her and was bumped into by Third Young Master. They were very intimate when they met. It turned out that they were classmates in the same class in primary school and got along very well. Qiao Hua's younger brother was sixteen years old, one year older than the Third Young Master. Because of his strong body, people called him Little Bull Gu. When Third Young Master was bullied in school, he would come out to help.
"You can stay at my house. Firstly, you can help your sister feed the pigs. Secondly, you can play with me all day.”The young master said as he held the little bull's shoulder.
The little bull replied happily," Of course, as long as you think highly of me.”
Third Young Master said to Old Master,"Father! Just let the little bull come to my house to work and play with me! Little Bull is very good with me. He helped me a lot in school.”Qiaohua's aunt also came forward to tell the old master.
In this way, Old Master agreed. From then on, Little Guniu and Third Young Master had an indissolvable bond and accompanied each other all the time.
After moving into the Hai family, the young master often invited the little bull to play all over the mountains and plains, but his sister suffered.
The little bull first taught the young master to unbutton his shirt and hunt pheasants.
They dug a small hole in the mountainous area where pheasants often appeared and put in some corn or wheat. Then, he put a ring made of bamboo on the side of the hole. He tied a knot with hemp thread, tied a small stick, stuck it on the bamboo ring, put it into the hole, and then tied the other end of the hemp thread. It was tied to a bent and elastic branch at the side. As long as the pheasant used its beak to peck at the food, it would be tied around the neck and hung in the air.
Every time they did it, they would make five or six deductions, and every time they did it, they would gain something. Not only did they trap pheasants, but sometimes they also trapped hares. Hares were trapped because they used their feet to dig for grain.
When they brought home the roped pheasant or hare, the lord was delighted, because it was a good dish for his wine.
After that, they prepared to use gunpowder guns to go up the mountain to shoot. Because the bull's father was also a hunter, the bull was very good at playing with shotguns.
In order to increase the lethality, the little bull found some pieces of rotten iron pot, smashed them with a hammer, mixed them with gunpowder, and put them in a small bag. When they reached the mountain, they poured gunpowder into the gun barrel and pressed it tightly with a small wooden stick.
The little bull told the third young master,"The husks are willing to go to the pea fields in the mountains to eat leaves and pods in the morning, when the sun comes out or when the sun sets at night." The child is timid and clever. One had to hide far away. If a person was close to the pea field, it would not come, as if it could smell people.”
The Third Young Master was very impressed by the little bull.
One morning, just as the sun rose, the Third Young Master and the little bull carried a gunpowder gun and went to a mountain depression more than 20 miles away from Lulong Creek. They found a pea patch and hid among the trees halfway up the hill.
When the sun came out of the mountain, a scorpion suddenly appeared by the bushes beside the pea field. It looked east and west, flickering. They waited patiently.
After a while, the man slowly walked to the pea field.
"Let me do it!" Third Young Master said.
The little bull said,"If you're not confident, I'll do it."”
After taking aim, the little bull pulled the trigger. Following the gunshot, the donkey staggered a few steps and fell to the ground.
At this time, the third young master was extremely happy. He got up and ran down with the little bull. The two of them ran up to the muntjac and saw that its stomach and hind legs were bleeding. Its four legs were moving, but it was not dead.
The two of them carried one leg each and dragged it home. Along the way, everyone praised and envied them. They raised their old mother fingers and said,"You two are really not simple! If you can hit the handle, it's hard for us adults to hit it.”
On the way, they met a few young men who helped them drag the children home.
The Hai family members all praised Little Bull,"You're quite capable. You can even beat a deer."”Little Gu Niu became famous from then on.
Playing with gunpowder guns wasn't enough, so Third Young Master quietly took out Old Master Hai's 20-shot pistol and called Little Guniu to practice his hands and feet in a big mountain.
The little bull had never touched this guy before. It held it in its hand and looked around excitedly.
"Come! Let's compete and see who's better at shooting three shots each.”After saying that, Third Young Master pointed at the pile of cow dung in front of him.
"Alright, thank you, Third Young Master! Who will fight first?" Little Bull asked happily.
"I'll go first!" Third Young Master raised the gun with his right hand, aimed at it, and pulled the trigger. The gun rang, and Third Young Master's hand was numb from the shock. He quickly handed the gun to the little bull.
"You go first!"
The little bull took the gun, held the handle with its right hand, and weighed it. He thought that the Third Young Master's hand was weak and did not hold the gun tightly. Because of the recoil of the gun, his hand was numb.
He raised the gun with his right hand and held his right wrist with his left hand. He meowed and fired.
However, it was his first time shooting this kind of gun, so he was nervous and did not hit the target accurately.
Third Young Master encouraged him." Don't be afraid. Just fight like a dog. Fight well!"”
When the little bull heard the encouragement of the third young master, it became bolder and more energetic. He tightened his grip on the gun and meowed seriously. When the gun rang, the cow dung was hit. He was very happy.
The little bull raised its gun again. After aiming, it steadily fired the third shot and hit the target.
Third Young Master clapped his hands and said happily,""You're too amazing, you'll be a sharpshooter if you practice more! When I become the head of the household, you will be my bodyguard.”。
Little Bull was secretly very happy. If Third Young Master likes me, then I'll be his bodyguard. I'll have a chance to avenge my sister.
He readily agreed," That's good. As long as Third Young Master likes me, I'll definitely protect you.”Taking advantage of the excitement, the little bull taught the third young master a few shots. The third young master basically knew how to shoot, and the two of them practiced with great interest.
