Following the sound, Gu Zhan and Guo Zhida walked down the terraces one step at a time.
The two stopped at the edge of the ravine at the end of the terraced fields.
"This..." Guo Zhida looked behind him with a worried look on his face: "Xiao Gu, this...can't we go down yet?"
Gu Zhan walked forward and looked down the ravine in front of him. He saw a few cows standing on the gentle slope, leisurely eating tender grass.
The rain seems to be getting heavier, and the loess under our feet is covered with dense vegetation. The specific situation is still unknown.
The loess was loose, so Gu Zhan and Guo Zhida did not dare to walk down the ditch easily.
"Xiao Gu, I'm going down, you stay here."
As he spoke, Guo Zhida had already taken a step forward.
"No, it's dangerous down there." Gu Zhan stopped him decisively.
Guo Zhida is Ontario's top livestock breeding expert. The technology he masters has influenced and promoted the development of Ontario's agriculture for decades. Now Guo Zhida cannot afford to get into trouble no matter what. Even if he has to go down, he will go down first.
Suddenly, Gu Zhan thought of his wife and daughter waiting for him at home... Gu Zhan shook his head to calm down.
"What should we do? We can't just sit there and watch our hard work get ruined right before our eyes!"
Gu Zhan understood Guo Zhida's feelings. He himself was also angry and helpless about this sudden situation.
Who on earth would do something that harms others and benefits themselves?
But these are things that happened later. The most critical issue now is how to get those cows out of the ravine.
"Team Leader Guo, don't worry. Let's go up a bit first to take a look at the terrain here, and then decide where to go down."
Hearing Gu Zhan say this, Guo Zhida felt relieved. He admired the young man Gu Zhan's professionalism very much, but this young man was too calm in considering some things. He was afraid that at this moment Gu Zhan would decide to abandon the cows below.
"Okay, okay."
Guo Zhida responded hurriedly and walked up along the path at the edge of the terraced field.
The way up was still difficult to walk on. The shoes under his feet were covered with mud and were very slippery. Gu Zhan grabbed a handful of weeds and rubbed them on his shoes a few times to clean the mud off his shoes before he could reluctantly go up.
Guo Zhida, who was following behind, also imitated Gu Zhan's just behavior and walked forward staggeringly.
Standing on the top terrace and looking at the ravine at the bottom, you can see the terrain around the ravine.
After carefully observing the terrain, Gu Zhan found a small path exposed on the ground in the dense vegetation. It was probably a path left by wild rabbits or something like that, and it looked like it should be walkable.
And the cows below also looked very close to the path.
"Team Leader Guo, do you see that path?"
Following Gu Zhan's line of sight, Guo Zhida looked into the distance, but all he could see was a blur and nothing could be seen clearly.
After wiping the rain off his face and covering the rain curtain in front of him with his hands, Guo Zhida could barely see clearly.
"See, are we going down there?"
"Yes, Team Leader Guo. I guess that road is where wild animals from the mountains have walked, so the soil on the road should be quite solid."
"Okay, no problem."
Gu Zhan smiled bitterly and said, "The only drawback is that we might encounter wild beasts on that road."
"Then... I'll go down, Xiao Gu, you just stand up there and help me."
Guo Zhida made the decision after only a moment of hesitation.
But how could Gu Zhan just watch Guo Zhida risk his life alone and remain indifferent?
"Let's go down together!"
After saying that, Gu Zhan walked to the ridge of another terraced field, broke off two thicker branches, kept one for himself, and handed one to Guo Zhida.
This branch can not only be used to explore the way on rainy days, but also to drive away wild animals.
It's much better than being unarmed.
"Let's go, Team Leader Guo."
"it is good!"
Following the ridge of the lowest terraced field, Gu Zhan groped his way forward and found a relatively solid ground. He stepped on it, and Guo Zhida followed behind him and walked down.
The two of them kept groping and finally reached the path they had seen above.
Gu Zhan felt much more at ease.
Zhou Liang and his group also heard the faint sound of cows not far away, but the rain was too heavy and they could not tell which direction the sound came from. They could only continue to search while moving forward and listening carefully for the sound.
But since that cow mooing, the few of them have never heard the cow mooing again.
The group had no choice but to keep moving forward and searching based on their own judgment.
"Damn it! If I knew who did this, I would definitely beat my grandson up." Zhou Liang cursed in a low voice.
Then he saw Zhou Guoping, whose head and face were covered in rain, and he lost his temper: "Look, kid, you can sleep at any time, but you had to sleep at the critical moment last night. Look, now something happened, right?"
Zhou Guoping was already feeling angry, anxious and self-blaming, and now after hearing what Zhou Liang said, he felt even worse.
He choked up and said, "Uncle, you know about the cattle farm. Although it sounds easy for the six of us to take care of fifty cows, those are all fine breed cattle, very precious. Not only do we have to observe and record data in the morning, and feed them grass, but we also have to give them water at noon, take care of them in the evening, and be on duty at night.
Although the wages are high, I am so exhausted from working all day without stopping. I might as well go to work in the fields!"
At the end of his speech, Zhou Guoping actually started to cry, his face was covered with tears and rain.
When Zhou Liang heard this, he suddenly felt that his words were a bit harsh. The affairs of a cattle farm seem easy, but they are actually very trivial, but every link cannot be ignored.
Didn't he accidentally create such a mess?
"Hey, hey, hey, stop crying. What does it look like for a grown man to cry?"
"I...I don't want anything to happen to the cattle farm. The provincial experts have perfected the technology, so won't we be the ones who benefit in the end?"
"Hey... Xiao Gu was right to call the police today. I want to see which grandson is causing trouble."
No matter how much he cursed or complained, Zhou Liang did not slow down his pace at all.
Zhou Guoping also wiped the tears from his face and continued to look around.
Suddenly, he saw something shaking under the deep ditch not far away. When he looked closely, he found that it was the yellow cattle that were worth a lot of money in the province.
In a hurry, he excitedly pulled Zhou Liang's shoulder and said, "Uncle, look, isn't that the team's bull?"
Zhou Liang followed the direction Zhou Guoping pointed and looked for a long time but still couldn't see it clearly. He couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Where is it? Why can't I see it?"
