Chapter 428 Why don’t you let us catch the cow?

How could Qiao Ran not see what these people were thinking?

She originally wanted to take only the people from Qingshui Village and the two prefectures with her, but she didn't want to take advantage of the cattle she had discovered.

But Cao Dashan took the initiative and said: "Miss Qiao, let us help too! Don't worry, we are just helping to catch the cows, and we will not take these cows. You found the cows, and naturally they are all yours. We will not I’ll steal it from you.”

Qiao Ran looked at the faces of the other craftsmen and saw that most of them had sincere expressions. A few of them might have been a little cautious, but when Cao Dashan's eyes glanced around, those people all stopped. Got greedy.

Qiao Ran thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, Uncle Cao, you can bring your people with you! I have caught the cow, and I will give you extra food today. I brought a lot of meat from the city yesterday and cook it for everyone." Let’s eat soup and fried meat pancakes!”

When the craftsmen heard this, they were all very happy. They put down what they were doing to build the wall, found some sticks and ropes in the pile of materials, and went to help.

There were a lot of ropes on the construction site, and everyone quickly found more than 20 ropes that could be used to tie the noses of the cows and bring them back.

Seeing that the helpers also wanted to go, Qiao Ran said to those people with a solemn face: "There are enough people to catch the bison, I don't need your help. You can continue working here, we will be back soon."

When those people heard that they were not allowed to go, the smiles on their faces suddenly froze.

"Miss Qiao, let us go too! This bison is ownerless, and it belongs to whoever catches it. My family has no cattle, and my parents have a hard time farming. I want to catch a cow and bring it back to reduce the burden on the elderly. .”

"Yeah, let's go! There's no need to grab it, everyone depends on their ability. Anyway, there are so many cows. Maybe if you're lucky, I can catch one! I have a cow at home, but who would think there are too many cows? If you don’t need it at home, you can sell it! A cow can be sold for dozens of taels of silver!"

Among the helpers, some were clamoring to catch the cow, and said that whoever caught it would belong to him.

Qiao Ran sneered: "Do you think bison are so easy to catch? Are you lucky enough to catch one? Are you afraid of bad luck and you can't even go home? I've already drugged half of the bison, and the rest We, the people of Qingshui Village, can handle it, so there is no need to trouble you. You are the helpers invited by our village, so you should continue to work here!"

Qiao Ran's words made some honest helpers give up the idea of ​​trying their luck.

Indeed, they were hired by others to help with the work. How could they take their wages while robbing the wild animals that their employers wanted?

Most people gave up the idea and wanted to turn around and go back to work.

However, the people who just spoke still looked unconvinced.

"If you're lucky or not, you little girl won't have to worry about it. Since it's an ownerless bison, anyone can catch it. If you say you won't let us go, we won't go?"

"That's right! At worst, I don't need today's wages. I'm going to catch bison. If I really catch one with two ends, wouldn't it be a big fortune? With bison that can be sold for dozens of taels, who would care about this day? How much wages are there?"

"I want to go too! Although you discovered the bison, it doesn't belong to your family. Why don't we catch it? Bison and bison are all wild cattle. Whoever catches them belongs to whoever catches them. Only the one who catches them has the right to catch them. Lord! If you don’t let us catch you, how can you be at ease?”

Those people were yelling, as if Qiao Ran was being selfish and stingy for not letting them go.

Cao Dashan couldn't stand it anymore, pointed at those people and said: "Miss Qiao is thinking about you, don't be ungrateful! You can't even pull the domestic cow if it gets strong, and the domestic cow can even pull it if it tries hard." A man was beaten to death and trampled to death, let alone a wild and untamable bison? You still think about catching a bison alone? What good thing are you thinking about? Miss Qiao discovered the cow, and they naturally have the right not to let you follow them. , go get to work quickly, don’t waste everyone’s time.”

Among those people, one named Ma Dahu shouted the loudest. When he saw Cao Dashan talking about them, he immediately jumped out and pointed at Cao Dashan's nose and cursed:

"Who are you? You're just a hired worker. What qualifications do you have to point your nose at me and teach me a lesson? Are you so eager to please this girl Qiao, don't you just think that you can share a cow with you? What the hell? , you craftsmen can go, but us helpers can’t? Why?"

Cao Dashan was furious and said: "Just because Miss Qiao discovered the bison, she will let anyone go! What, you still want to rob it by force?"

Not to be outdone, Ma Dahu blushed and shouted: "What's wrong with me just grabbing it? This Devil's Valley does not belong to you, and the bison in this valley are not yours. I can grab it if I want. I want you." No matter! Dogs and mice are nosy!"

Cao Dashan had never seen such a shameless person. He was so angry that he wanted to argue with the person, but Qiao Ran stopped him.

"Uncle Cao, don't waste your time with this kind of person."

As she said that, she turned to Ma Dahu and said: "We from Qingshui Village are now your employer. You are receiving our wages, but you disobey orders and want to leave your post without permission to catch bison for yourself? Since you don't care about this job. Son, then don't do it. Tieniu, go and tell the old village chief later, pay off the wages of these disobedient helpers, drive them out of the valley, and never allow them to enter the valley again! "

Zhao Tieniu had long glared at Ma Dahu and the others angrily, wanting to rush up and teach them a lesson for saying such things about Sister Ran.

Hearing Sister Ran's instructions, he immediately perked up and responded loudly: "Yes, Sister Ran, I'll tell my grandpa right now!"

With that said, he ran out of the valley to chase the old village chief who had just left the valley.

Ma Dahu and the others looked at each other, with a flash of panic in their eyes.

They had worked hard to get this job, and they had promised the head of their village that they would do it well and not lose the face of their own villagers, so that such a wealthy employer would have more jobs for them in the future. .

But now, they couldn't resist the temptation of catching bison, and they wanted to offend their boss, and they would lose this good job that paid dozens of pennies a day.

Two of them had regrets in their eyes and were about to plead for mercy.

Unexpectedly, Ma Dahu raised his eyebrows and asked with a ferocious face:

"Why don't you let us enter the valley? Does this Devil's Valley belong to your family? I can go in if I want! I just want to catch this cow today. It has legs on me. I will go wherever I fall in love with you. What are you doing? If I'm not an official, how can I be tied up?"
