The bull dragged the iron plough and rushed for about a mile. Just as it crossed a gentle slope, it saw a group of people coming towards it. This group of people, from the groom to the drummer, were all dressed in red. The sedan chair was bright red, and even the horses were wrapped in red silk.
As soon as they saw the bull dragging the plough over, these people, who had already been instructed by Zhang Yutong, immediately screamed, "Crazy bull! There's a crazy bull coming, run! "
The groom turned his horse and ran. All the drummers, including the sedan chair bearers, abandoned the sedan chair and followed him. They all fled west. Tixi Creek was a strip of land from south to north. The west side belonged to the Yu family, and the east side belonged to the Zhang family. If they traveled horizontally, it wouldn't take long for them to enter the Yu family's territory.
At this time, the sun had just risen, and it wouldn't end until sunset. As long as this bull had enough strength, it could carve out a large piece of the Yu family's territory. In this way, not only would the Zhang family get out of trouble, but the Yu family would also come back shorn.
However, although the bull saw a group of people running away in panic, it only paused for a moment, then lowered its head and continued to move forward with the iron plough. It didn't care about the people in red who were running away.
In fact, bulls were colorblind, so they didn't have any special feelings towards the color red. However, people had special feelings towards the color red. Bullfighters used red cloth to arouse the audience's emotions, not to fight bulls. Fighting bulls were aggressive by nature. Before they appeared, they had been locked in the pen for a long time, so their temperament naturally became restless and aggressive.
When it appeared, it would be stimulated by the cheers of the audience. At this time, if a bullfighter waved a piece of cloth in front of it, the bull would be angered, and it would rush to attack the bullfighter.
In order to verify the statement of the Western missionary, after choosing the bull, Zhang Yutong deliberately took a piece of red cloth to test it. This bull was led from the countryside to the Zhang family's mansion. It already felt strange and uneasy, so when it saw Zhang Yutong's constant provocation, it naturally attacked him.
Because of this, Zhang Yutong took it seriously. He thought that Niu was really disgusted with the color red, so he never thought of testing it with another cloth. At this moment, the bull was wearing a yoke. It thought that the humans wanted it to plow the land again. The people in front of it ran away as soon as they saw it. They didn't jump around in front of it and provoke it with pieces of cloth, so it didn't want to attack them anymore.
At the same time, the people of the Gedore tribe had used their secret recipe to make a liquid and sprinkled it on the path it was supposed to take. It was a mixture of plant juice and animal fluid. Cattle were very sensitive to the smell of the plant, and the animal fluid was extracted from cows, which could stimulate the libido of bulls.
These two scents were far more attractive to the bull than to the screaming commoners in red clothes. Without hesitation, the bull continued to head north.
"Damn it! Did we run away too fast? If we can't lure the bull away, we will definitely be punished by the young master. "
The man who was pretending to be the groom saw that the bull was not lured away, so he quickly turned his horse around and rushed back. As he rushed, he shouted, "Save my wife! Quick, save my wife. "
Unfortunately, when they rushed back, the bull had already dragged the iron plow past the bridal sedan. Ye Xiaotian, Wen Ao, Gedore and the others were following the bull. How could they stop the bull and continue to provoke it in front of so many people?
Zhang Yi said anxiously, "Why is it like this? Why isn't the bull chasing them? "
Zhang Yutong said blankly, "It can't be, I've tried. Could it be that they ran away too fast? "
Zhang Yi said anxiously, "If the bull keeps going forward, it will take away all of our Zhang family's land. Tell the people in front to get ready. No matter what, we have to get closer before we provoke the bull. If that doesn't work, we can use the firecrackers to scare it away! "
Zhang Yutong quickly called over a guard and gave a few orders. The guard then galloped away on his horse. He made a big circle and arrived in front of the crowd. No matter how fast the bull ran, it could not outrun a galloping horse. He had enough time to inform the second group of people to get ready.
The bull dragged the iron pear as it moved forward. Sometimes, the tip of the plow would dig into the soil, creating a wave of mud. Sometimes, because there was no one to hold the pear, it would bounce off the ground, creating a shallow trench. A few riders followed the bull. Their whips cracked in the air, and sometimes they hit the bull's back.
Ye Xiaotian, Gedore and the others followed behind the riders. Gedore turned around and looked at Zhang Yi and his nephew, who were whispering to each other. He laughed coldly and said, "There is no one here, where would the wedding procession come from? It must be the Zhang family's doing."
Wen Ao said, "That's right! When heaven and earth unite, all living things flourish. People set the ceremony by marriage. The wedding ceremony should be at dusk, when Yin and Yang alternate. Who would come out early in the morning to fetch the bride? They must be plotting something! "
Although Chieftain Yu was young, his horsemanship was not bad. He rode on a four and a half year old red pony and said in a clear voice, "But can they lure the bull away with a few blows and screams? Hee hee, they are really stupid! "
Zhang Yu Tong's bodyguards quickly rushed to the front and found a group of people who were lazily waiting by the side of the road. They hurriedly ordered, "The people in front have failed. You guys quickly go up and prepare the firecrackers. If you can't lure it away, then use the firecrackers to scare it away. If you fail again, Young Master will punish you severely!"
When the village girl, who was dressed as the bride, heard him, she hastily crawled into the sedan chair. The man, who was dressed as the groom, was wearing red silk with a big red flower tied in front of his chest. "Where are we going to welcome them?" he asked in a daze.
The guard stared at him and said, "How would I know? You guys go to the south and block the bull! "
The group of people had no choice but to lift up the sedan and rush to the south. Along the way, they didn't care about blowing and beating. It was as if they were kidnapping the bride. They ran like flies and the whole procession was in a mess. The sedan was at the back and the groom was at the front. He used his hand to cover his eyes and looked around.
"It's there, it's there!" From afar, they saw a big bull dragging an iron plow and there were many people riding horses behind it. The groom was overjoyed and knew he had found the bride. He immediately shouted excitedly.
The bridal procession ran towards the bull. After running for a while, they suddenly remembered that the bride was still behind them. It would be too obvious if they abandoned the bride to go after the bull. They had no choice but to stop and shout to the bearers behind them.
The bearers were sweating profusely as they carried the sedan chair. Each of them ran with all their might, causing the bride to bump and fall from the sedan chair, swaying left and right. Her stomach felt like it was being overturned and her expression was extremely unsightly.
The sedan finally caught up and the bull dragged the plow closer. Even though the bull's endurance was better than the horse's, it was not fast. Furthermore, it was dragging the plow so it was not as fast as it was at the beginning.
"Quick, quick, quick! Get into formation! Play the 'Welcome the Bride' song! Firecrackers! Firecrackers! Get ready! " The groom hurriedly gave out instructions. The sound of the suona had just started to create a festive atmosphere when the bull came closer.
"Whose farm bull is this? Why is it here? Go away, go away!" The groom took the initiative to greet the bull and pretended to shout. The suona beside him also swayed their bodies as they approached, purposely showing off their red clothes.
The big bull ran excitedly for a long time but still could not find the most delicious grass and the cow that gave off the alluring scent. It was getting more and more irritated. Seeing that these people were purposely provoking it, it couldn't help but let out a 'moo'. It lowered its huge head with two sharp horns and showed signs of attacking.
"Get lost! What do you want!" When Gedore's men saw that they were blocking the bull, they couldn't help but be furious and immediately rushed forward. The leader turned around and started negotiating with Zhang Yi and Zhang Yutong, "Zhang, you are too despicable. If you want to go back on your promise, I will not accept it."
Zhang Yi shouted, "Bullsh * t! What does it have to do with the Zhang family that someone is marrying a wife? Don't you dare go back on your word! "
"Quick, light the fire!" Bundles of firecrackers were hidden inside the sedan chair. The village girl dressed as the bride quickly passed the firecrackers around like an assistant carrying a machine gun with a belt of bullets. One of the men used the sedan chair as a cover to hide himself. He hastily flicked the match several times, but before he could blow it, the match had already burst into flames with a 'bang', and just happened to burn the gunpowder.
"Pa pa pa pa …"
Before the firecrackers had completely spread out of the palanquin, there was a violent explosion. The 'bride' screamed and ran out of the palanquin. She had just escaped from the palanquin and was in shock. She had just run out of the palanquin and only managed to run a dozen steps before she squatted down on the grass and vomited.
The man who was responsible for lighting the fire did not give up and tried to save the firecrackers, but the firecrackers were burning so fast that paper shreds flew everywhere. He had no choice but to run away in a hurry. When the firecrackers burned into the palanquin, all the firecrackers inside were ignited …
There was a loud 'bang', and the palanquin was blown into pieces. The firecrackers flew everywhere. The bull was first irritated by the group of people in red, and then when it was blown up by the firecrackers, it immediately went crazy. It let out a wild moo and rushed forward.
The firecrackers were originally intended to be thrown towards the east side of the bull to force it to escape to the west, but now they exploded in front of it. The drummers who wanted to lure the bull to the west were all standing on the west side, leaving the east side empty. The bull instinctively ran towards the east side.
Zhang Yi was in the middle of lecturing the leader that he had to be responsible and that he had accepted the bet. Suddenly, he saw the bull run towards the heart of the Zhang family. He couldn't help but stare in shock. The leader saw his strange expression and turned his head to look. He couldn't help but laugh, "Zhang Tu She is right, I accept the bet! Haha, I accept the bet! "
Zhang Yutong saw this and his face twisted. Gedore glanced at him and smiled faintly at the 'bride' who was vomiting. He teased, "You just got married today and you already have a baby in your stomach. You are quite impatient!"
