Chapter 578: A Calf that Understands Human Language
“Can we take a photo with you?” Ye Feifei really found the boy to be so cute.
This little shepherd boy was really too cute. His short and soft black hair stuck tightly to their foreheads. His big, round, and black eyes were directly inlaid on their fair and tender little faces. Both of his cheeks were plump and red, it made people want to go up and pinch him.
But the child was alone with a cow without the care of an adult. Was that really okay?
Xiao Ling thought about it and did not ask any more silly and cute questions. He directly refused and said, “No, I don’t want to take a photo with you guys.”
Ye Feifei, Xiaohui, and Li Jian, “…” Why would the boy reject them?
Ye Feifei asked unwillingly, “Why?”
Xiao Ling shook his head and said, “Ma… My sister said that I’m so lovable that I can’t expose myself so easily. Otherwise, I’ll be taken away by the bad guys.”
Ye Feifei, An Xiaohui, and Li Jian, “…” Well, he is cute.
In the information era, everything could be found on the internet. There were all kinds of internet users. There were good people and bad people. The boy was cute. What if someone saw him on the internet and decided to target him?
At that moment, Ye Feifei and the other two were also hesitating. Should they not take this picture?
The real reason Xiao Lingyu didn’t want Xiao Ling to appear in any picture was that Xiao Ling wasn’t supposed to exist. What if the photo became viral on the internet and people found out about this ‘boy’?
Xiao Ling was simple, but he was not stupid. Other than his master and the Xiao Family, he was cautious around every other human. He wanted to live in the outside world, but he wasn’t dumb. Furthermore, his master had promised him that when the time came, he could officially join her in the real world.
Ye Feifei thought about it and decided not to force a picture anymore. After all, she would post most of her pictures on the forum. She was also worried about bad guys.
Ye Feifei nodded with some disappointment. “Alright, we’ll listen to you. No photo,” Her eyes darted about before landing on the calf. She smiled, “Little shepherd boy…”
Xiao Ling corrected her, “My name isn’t little shepherd boy. It’s Xiao Ling!”
Up until now, he still didn’t understand what a little shepherd boy was.
Ye Feifei chuckled, “Then, Xiao Ling, can we take a photo with this cow?”
Xiao Ling looked at Ye Feifei with suspicion. Then, he lowered his head and patted Little Light’s little head with his little hand. He asked very seriously, “Little Light, are you willing to take this picture?”
An Xiaohui and the other two, “…” Why would he ask the calf?
“Moo!” Little Light answered.
Xiao Ling then looked up at them and said, “Little Light has agreed!” Then, he jumped down from Little Light’s back.
“Ah, be careful!” The two ladies shouted anxiously.
However, Xiao Ling’s movements were swift and agile!
An Xiaohui and the other two, “…” Such smooth movements. Is it because he was raised in the countryside? But he’s only three years old. Would his parents allow him to practice doing something so dangerous?
Xiao Ling jumped off Little Light and said very seriously, “Little Light is willing to take a photo with you. You can start now.”
After saying that, Xiao Ling left without waiting for An Xiaohui and the other two to react, leaving the three people and the calf behind.
“Hey…” Ye Feifei wanted to call after him.
An Xiaohui pulled her back and shook her head directly.
Ye Feifei frowned and said, “Won’t he be in danger all alone?”
An Xiaohui said, “Judging from his actions, he should be from Taoyuan Village. Moreover, it sounds like he has a relationship with Boss Xiao. Nothing would happen to him here.
“Besides, Boss Xiao said that there are cameras everywhere in the mountain. Otherwise, his parents wouldn’t let him be here all alone with the calf.”
Ye Feifei thought of something and guessed with a smile, “Xiaohui, do you think this child is that Lady Boss’s son?”
An Xiaohui shook her head and said, “How would I know?”
Li Jian, who was listening to their discussion, said speechlessly, “Hey, do you still want to take photos? The boy has even left the calf with us.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Little Light responded with a moo. “Moo!”
Ye Feifei and the other two, “…”
An Xiaohui looked at the little yellow calf suspiciously and said, “Can this cow understand human language?”
Ye Feifei’s eyes lit up, and she immediately said excitedly, “We can try to find out!”
An Xiaohui blinked and asked, “How do we do that?”
Ye Feifei’s eyes darted around, and she said confidently, “Watch me.” With that, she walked up to Little Light and said, “Little Cow, little cow, tell us, can you understand human language? If you can understand it, then moo once. If you can’t understand it, then moo twice.”
Little Light mooed twice.
“Pfft!” An Xiaohui laughed and then said to Ye Feifei, “You’re really something else to go and fool a calf.”
Ye Feifei said, “I’ve heard that dogs and monkeys are intelligent enough to understand human language, but this is the first time I encounter a cow that can understand human language. This trip is really worth it.”
Beside her, Little Light’s watery eyes, which were as big as copper bells, were wide open. He looked at the people speaking in front of him with a human-like confusion.
He mooed twice, indicating that he didn’t understand, so why were these people so happy and say that he could understand human language?
If someone could read Little Light’s thoughts, they would say, “Little Light, you’ve been tricked. No matter if you moo once or twice, people will assume that you can understand human language.”
Why? Because a cow that didn’t understand human language wouldn’t moo at all.
Ye Feifei saw how cute the calf was and reached out her hand to approach him carefully. She then asked carefully, “Calf, you’re really too cute. Can I touch you?”
Little Light rubbed her palm with his head, giving her permission.
Ye Feifei and the other two, “…”
They were stunned at first, and then they came back to their senses and said happily, “Haha, this calf really understands human language. This is the first time I’ve seen something like that.”
Li Jian also said with great interest, “Later, I have to take a photo with this calf. This calf is really too handsome.”
“Handsome? Isn’t it beautiful?” An Xiaohui asked suspiciously, “Isn’t this cow a female?”
“No!” Li Jian said with certainty, “This is a bull, and it’s not even two years old.”
“Calf? Is Li Jian right?” Ye Feifei asked again.
Of course, she didn’t expect Little Light to answer. After all, this was a complex question.
“Moo moo!” Little Light answered her.
Ye Feifei and the other two, “…”
Ye Feifei asked in surprise, “Did he just answer me?”
An Xiaohui said with uncertainty, “I think so.”
Li Jian said with certainty, “Yes!” He paused for a moment and said, “My family owns a cattle company. I’ve known cattle since I was young. This is the first time I’ve seen a cow that understands human language.”
Ye Feifei said nonchalantly, “What’s so strange about that? Maybe his master raised him like how they would raise a child. A calf can be trained like dogs and monkeys.”
An Xiaohui nodded in agreement and said, “That makes sense.”
Li Jian frowned. Ye Feifei’s words made sense to a certain degree. But he didn’t have the time to ponder because he was urged by the two ladies who wanted to take pictures with the calf.
