Chapter 400 Villagers Come to Plow the Land, They Work Harder Than the Oxen

The villagers were also thinking about spring plowing, and they would go to the fields every day. Whenever the father and son arrived at the fields, they would attract the attention of the villagers.

"Uncle Dawang, are you helping the Bai brothers plow the fields?"

"No, I just came to lend a hand."

"Isn't that the big blue ox we bought in April? Who owns the big yellow ox?"

Liu Dawang chuckled, "It's from my family."

"So now you have two cows?"

"Yes, it's perfect for arable land, and we have a lot of land. We bought a new plow in April, and I heard it works very well, so we came to try it out today."

"Let us see what kind of plow it is. What does it look like?"

Liu Dawang took the plow off the cart. "This is the kind of plow, called a curved plow. It's different from the straight plow we used before. I heard it's lighter and easier to use, and you can adjust the depth of turning the soil."

"Is this plow that powerful? Hurry up and harness it so we can see for ourselves."

Liu Dawang and Bai Qiming began to harness the plow to the ox, and after a few steps, the ox and plow were successfully paired.

"Second Uncle, I think this big blue ox is not to be trifled with. Let me help the big blue ox with the plow, and you help the big yellow ox with the plow."

"Qiming, from now on you shouldn't call it Big Green Ox, you should call it Bull Demon King, understand?"

If you call it Big Blue Ox, it will be unhappy.

The Bull Demon King looked at the big yellow ox beside him, mooed at it a few times, and raised his head high, as if to say, "Look at your small body, how can you compare to me?"

The big yellow ox wasn't going to back down either, and it mooed at him a few times. "Where did this monster come from? Why does it look so different from us?"

Don't let your size fool you; you're not necessarily my match. Today, I'll show you what real strength is.

With a flick of his whip, Liu Dawang sent the big yellow ox pulling the plow forward, turning the soil as if it were boiling water. The villagers followed Liu Dawang, watching as they went, marveling at how useful the plow was.

When the Bull Demon King saw the big yellow ox leave, he bellowed anxiously. Bai Qiming quickly gave the order, and the Bull Demon King, leading the way, ran incredibly fast, overtaking the big yellow ox in no time. As he passed, he even bellowed at the big yellow ox.

Not to be outdone, the big yellow ox sped up, and the Bull Demon King ran happily, which exhausted Bai Qiming. He was drenched in sweat after the run.

After making four or five trips in a row, Bai Qiming couldn't take it anymore. The villagers were eager to try it out, and Bai Qiming also wanted to rest.

No matter who it was, the Bull Demon King still exerted all his strength. In one morning, the Bull Demon King worked at full power and exhausted 10 people. He plowed 6 acres of land in one morning, while the big yellow ox plowed 2 acres.

After finishing cultivating the 8 mu of paddy fields, everyone was so tired that they sat down to rest at the edge of the field, praising the Bull Demon King as a divine bull. They said that if there were enough people, he could cultivate more than ten mu of land a day.

When it's time to eat, Liu Dawang leads the ox back home. It's been running around all morning and is very hungry, so the ox needs a good rest and some fodder.

"Dawang, Bai brothers, where are you going to plow this afternoon? We're coming back."

Bai Qiming didn't know how to describe the location of the five mu of dry land, so Liu Dawang told him, "Qiming, in addition to your family's five mu of dry land, there is also your sister's land, and the nine mu of dry land we bought in April. We'll finish cultivating them all in the next couple of days."

"Okay, just tell me the location."

Bai's father went home for dinner, and Bai Qiming went with Liu Dawang to the village committee to deliver the cattle. They ate together at the end of the village.

They rested for an hour and then continued working in the afternoon.

When the villagers heard that Liu Dawang's family had bought a new plow that worked very well, they all wanted to come and see it for themselves. Even the village chief and the old clan elder came.

When Liu Dawang and Bai Qiming arrived, they saw a large group of people standing at the edge of the field. "Second Uncle, why are there so many people?"

"They're all just curious and want to see how well the new plow works."

In the afternoon, the Bull Demon King provoked the Big Yellow Ox again. The Big Yellow Ox glanced at him and said, "They say the capable should do more work, so you should do more. I'm not as strong as you, so I admit defeat."

The Bull Demon King felt somewhat frustrated; playing alone was no fun.

Before Liu Dawang and his team could even get started, the villagers were all eager to try it out.

Liu Dawang and Bai Qiming handed the plow to the villagers, who then stood at the edge of the field watching.

The bull demon ran forward like a madman, leaving the plowman panting heavily, and they had to be replaced as soon as he returned.

Five acres of land were plowed in an hour. The Bull Demon King plowed four acres, and the Big Yellow Ox plowed one acre.

The villagers praised the Bull Demon King again and again, saying, "This bull you bought in April is a good deal. One bull is worth four bulls, but it's a bit demanding on people."

The villagers laughed heartily, "Uncle Dawang, if your family uses a big blue ox to plow the fields, you'll need to prepare more strong laborers, otherwise the ox won't die from exhaustion, but the people will."

Look at this big blue ox, how strong it is! It plowed four acres of land without even breaking a sweat.

"Uncle Dawang, where did you buy this plow? It's really good, and it's very easy for a person to pull."

How much? Maybe if a few of us chip in, we can buy one.

"I bought this in April, I didn't know, I'll ask later."

"Qiming, go and plow your sister's few acres of land now. Tomorrow morning, finish plowing those 9 acres as well. Then you'll need to plow those 32 acres of wasteland."

"Second Uncle, we don't need to trouble the Bull Demon King with my sister's two acres of land. Let my father take the big yellow ox to plow it. The Bull Demon King did a lot of work today, so let him rest well."

"Uncle Dawang, we'll come to help you plow the fields tomorrow morning, otherwise you won't be able to manage by yourself!"

Your big blue ox might have exhausted you.

"Thank you everyone, I'll have him run slower tomorrow."

"Second Uncle, why are you back so early? Have you finished plowing the fields?"

"The 13 mu of land at the family's house were all plowed in August. This Bull Demon King is really too powerful. It would be exhausting for one person to follow him in plowing the land."

It runs way too fast, you can't stop calling it, you need to talk to it properly.

The Bull Demon King is like a naive young boy going to his mother-in-law's house to do chores; he doesn't know how to conserve his energy and only knows how to show off. I'm really afraid he'll break it.

"Second Uncle, did you go to Grandma's house to work hard back then?"

"No, with so many uncles, how could it be my turn?"

"I wanted to do it, but your grandma dotes on her son-in-law and won't let me!" The uncle and nephew laughed so hard they were doubled over. Hearing their laughter, Madam Feng came in. "What are you two laughing about?"

"My second uncle said that the Bull Demon King is like a young boy who goes to his mother-in-law's house to do chores, and doesn't know how to cherish his strength."

My second uncle said that my maternal grandmother dotes on him, her son-in-law, and doesn't let him do any work!

"That's true. When your second uncle came back to my maternal grandparents' house with me, your maternal grandparents really didn't want him to do any work. They said that your uncle was enough to do all the housework. This made your second uncle very anxious. He didn't know whether to sit or stand."

Liu Dawang returned with a bucket of water, filled with fine bran and a little salt, intending to water the cattle. Liu Siyue quickly followed, "Second Uncle, let me go with you to see the Bull Demon King and see if that silly boy is exhausted."

When Liu Siyue went in, she saw the Bull Demon King lying on the ground, his tail sweeping back and forth.

When the Bull Demon King saw Liu Siyue enter, he immediately stood up, full of energy, and mooed at her.

Liu Siyue patted the big bull's head. "Did you overdo it today? You must be exhausted now."

The Bull Demon King raised his head and mooed, as if to say, "Look how energetic I am, I'm not tired at all, I'm a spirited young man."

Liu Siyue patted its head and said, "Take it easy and don't overwork yourself. You'll have to pull my cart later, so here's a reward for you."

Early the next morning, the villagers rushed to the end of the village to wait, eager to go with Liu Dawang to plow the fields.

They changed the workers but not the oxen, and finished nine acres of land in one morning.
