This is a true story, which takes place in a desert area with extremely water scarcity in Qinghai Province.
Here, the daily water consumption per person is strictly limited to 3 kilograms. Only these 3 kilograms of water have to be transported from a long distance by the garrison. Daily drinking, washing, washing vegetables, and feeding animals all rely on these 3 kilograms of precious water. People are not good for water shortage, and livestock are the same, they are so thirsty!
one day. An old cow that people have always considered honest and loyal is extremely thirsty. It breaks away from the reins and breaks into the desert, and the only road that it must pass through for the water truck.
Finally, the water transport troops arrived. No one knew how the old cow recognized the car that delivered the water in the winding vehicle array on the road. It rushed onto the highway quickly. military vehicle braked suddenly, but Lao Niu always stood there silently. No matter how the driver drives it, he will not move a step.
5 minutes passed. The drivers blocked behind began to curse. The impatient one even tried to ignite the fire and drive it away, but the old cow was unmoved.
The owner of the cow came. He was so angry that he raised his long whip and whipped hard on the back of the skinny cow. The old cow was beaten to pieces. He screamed sadly, but refused to give in. Blood oozed out. The whip dyed red, the old cow's shrill mooing and the cool wind in the desert. It looks particularly tragic.
water transporter couldn't help crying: "Let me violate the regulations once! I am willing to accept punishment." He took half a basin of water from the water truck and placed it in front of Lao Niu. Surprisingly, the old cow did not drink it. It turned to the sunset and mooed to the sky, as if shouting something. A calf ran out from behind the pile of sand not far away. The injured old cow looked at the calf lovingly and drank water greedily, stuck out his tongue to lick the calf's eyes, and the calf also licked the old cow intimately.
In a silence, people saw the tears in the eyes of the cow and the son. After the calves drank the water, they turned around and walked back slowly before their master shouted.
This is something that the author has personally experienced in this book. After reading this story, I shed tears. The old cow blocked the road and fought to the death. Although it was bloody on its back, it was still stubborn, just to find a sip of water for its children... Only parents can understand this greatness.
In this world, there are so many parents like this, but how many people, as children, can experience the selfless love of their parents and cherish it?
