In front of Lord Deer hung a bunch of delicious rapeseed, and Lord Deer stretched out his neck and tongue, wanting to eat it, and quickened his pace.
However, no matter how fast it walked, the bunch of rapeseed kept swaying in front of its eyes, out of reach.
Lord Deer grumbled discontentedly, protesting against the heartlessness and unkindness of the bipedal creatures.
How could they bully a deer ?
Han Cheng held the rope tied to Lord Deer's face, walking forward with Lord Deer, and grinned mischievously.
He thought to himself. I can control this guy.
At the beginning of today, Lord Deer was very resistant to tilling the land, so it resorted to using all its energy to pull Han Cheng, who was holding the rope, around the ground.
Under Han Cheng's anger, he tied a bunch of fresh green rapeseed to a stick with a rope and tied the other end to Lord Deer's antler so that the rapeseed hung in front of Lord Deer's eyes.
The effect was surprisingly good.
Just as primitive people generally had little resistance to salt, Lord Deer also had little resistance to rapeseed.
With such delicious food right before it, why wouldn't it eat it?
So Lord Deer began its journey of chasing after delicacies, embarking on an irreversible path.
Not only did Lord Deer enjoy such treatment, but two other strong deer in the deer herd were treated the same way.
With Lord Deer setting an example, their resistance was much lower.
As the rake teeth scraped the ground, the clumps of soil became much smaller.
The expansion and contraction of winter had softened these clumps of soil, and now, after a couple of passes, they became finely crushed.
The troublesome part was that after spring this year, the newly cultivated land required at least twice as much effort to break up the large clumps of soil there.
Eldest Senior Brother and the others held wooden sticks to knock down the soil clumps that the rake couldn't reach. They watched the deer pull the rake in the field, their faces filled with smiles.
Farming activities were never easy, and breaking up so many clumps of soil required a lot of effort.
Now, this task fell on the deer, and they were naturally happy, especially since these deer could break up the soil much faster than all of them combined.
It turned out that besides eating meat, these deer had such a great use.
They thought to themselves.
It turned out that besides ox, as the Divine Child had said, deer could also do it.
Shi Tou's way of thinking always seemed unique. After discovering that deer could work the land, his heart pounded nonstop.
He went to where fur was stored, secretly took out the deer hide, took a deep breath, and put it on.
With an expectant look and extreme nervousness on his face, his eyes were wide open, afraid of missing anything.
However, after a while , there was no change around him, and he was still standing on the ground, not taking off.
Feeling disappointed, Shi Tou remembered something and suddenly showed a happy expression.
He went to the leather storage and stole a deer hide. Then, taking a deep breath, he put the hide over his shoulders.
He was excited and nervous.
He waited for a while but nothing happened. He was still standing there and did not fly.
He was slightly disappointed and remembered something. His expression changed.
He put the deer hide away, then ran like the wind.
After a while, he returned with two wooden baskets and a carrying pole.
He put the deer hide back on, then used the carrying pole to hook up the two wooden baskets and put them on his shoulders.
Because he was too short, the baskets barely left the ground, looking awkward.
Shi Tou, however, paid no attention to these things. He earnestly carried the load, his eyes wide with nervousness and anticipation, hoping for something magical to happen…
As Shi Tou looked at the deer hide and the carrying pole, his face was filled with confusion and despair.
When the Cowherd pursued the Weaver Girl, he was dressed , so why couldn't he fly like them?
Feeling this agony, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he dashed out.
Before long, he returned with two children wearing animal skin clothes, still unsteady on their feet.
This time, he was careful. He had found a boy and a girl.
He placed each child in a basket, and as he placed them inside, he earnestly told them that he would take them to see the sky.
It's unclear if the children understood Shi Tou's words, but they found it amusing, laughing and making baby sounds with drool dripping down their chins.
Shi Tou wrapped the rope around the basket twice and, somewhat trembling, lifted the two children, looking up at the sky with anticipation…
In the following days, Shi Tou's behavior became somewhat peculiar. Ever since the incident where he fought with the young deer over milk, pinned down by the deer, and was discovered by the Divine Child, he had become unusually diligent in visiting the deer enclosure.
At first, Han Cheng thought Shi Tou couldn't resist the temptation of that long, soft, and fragrant juice-filled thing.
But later, he found out that Shi Tou's most common activity was squatting down, hugging the neck of a lying deer, and whispering to it.
He usually did this when there were few people around the deer enclosure. If someone approached, he would fall silent.
Upon noticing this, Han Cheng thought Shi Tou wanted to cultivate a good relationship with the deer, do some psychological work, and avoid getting kicked by the deer when milking.
But gradually, he realized it seemed different from his thought.
So, he became curious.
After another instance of Shi Tou entering the deer enclosure, Han Cheng sneaked to the edge of the enclosure, holding his straw shoes in one hand and crouching quietly, listening at the wall.
At first, Shi Tou's voice was too low for Han Cheng to hear clearly. But after a while, perhaps forgetting himself, Shi Tou's voice gradually became louder.
"…On the other side of the mountain, there's a lake, and several women are bathing. Go and take their animal skin clothes… That person will be your spouse…"
Listening from outside, Han Cheng looked puzzled. Why was Shi Tou telling the deer the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl?
And why this part where the old cow teaches the Cowherd to be lecherous?
Filled with doubt, Han Cheng listened for a while longer, only to hear Shi Tou repeat the same story over and over. His confusion deepened.
Could this guy be experiencing teenage infatuation at such a young age?
Are you trying to have a romantic encounter like the Cowherd, picking a sturdy female primitive human to spend the night with?
"Oh, little deer, when will you learn to speak? I've been teaching you for so long, but you still don't understand. Why are you so stupid…"
Inside the deer enclosure, Shi Tou's frustrated muttering could be heard.
