Xiao Jinli and Xiao Siqian leisurely descended the mountain.

Xiao Chunfu was more anxious and ran faster.

However, looking down from the mountain at the cattle thieves running, he grew angrier and angrier.

He cursed, “These thieves, they’re getting too bold. They steal the cows in broad daylight, and even when the cows escape, they can chase them right to our doorstep. Just wait until the Yamen officials come, they’ll pay for this.”

Xiao Jinli was worried that Xiao Chunfu would trip if he walked too fast, so she said, “Uncle Chunfu, no need to hurry, Cow King has already come back. Those thieves only have two legs, they won’t be able to catch up. We’ll just meet up with Cow King later.”

But Xiao Chunfu still anxiously said, “But look at those cattle thieves, they’re almost catching up.”

Xiao Jinli shrugged, “Let them come. We’ll catch them red-handed. They won’t be able to escape now.”

Xiao Chunfu stopped in his tracks, raised his hand, and slapped his forehead, laughing, “Haha, you’re right, Jinli.”

Afterward, he slowed down his pace.

What’s the rush? Cow King and the others have already started running back.

On the other side, Li Yuanming and his group were gasping for breath.

Zhang San leaned on his knees, panting heavily, and said, “I can’t take it anymore—I’m too exhausted. These cows run too fast. How are we supposed to catch up? By the time we catch them, we’ll be directly at Xiao Family Village.”

Li Yuanming also gasped heavily, frowned tightly, and said, “Little Wang and the others haven’t arrived yet, it seems like we can only take a gamble.”

He looked around; it was evening and the people working in the fields were almost all gone. The weather was dark, making it hard to see clearly.

Li Yuanming said, “Take out the anesthetic gun, aim it at the cows, and shoot. Hit one, and that’s one less!”

In broad daylight, they didn’t dare take out the anesthetic gun and shoot from a distance, lest they be mistaken for terrorists.

Zhang San, Li Si, and the others immediately took out the anesthetic guns.

Although the distance was far, and they didn’t know if they could hit the target, it was the only way to catch those cows.

If they let these cows run up to the mountain or to Xiao Family Village, they’d be in big trouble.

Xiao Jinli’s eyes were sharp, and the moment they took out the anesthetic guns, she noticed and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

Immediately, she put her thumb to her lips and blew a loud whistle.

Cow King heard the whistle, “mooed” twice, and the cows that were following it immediately dispersed and ran.

Li Yuanming and the other cattle thieves were stunned.

How were they supposed to shoot under this chaos?

What’s going on?

Li Si furrowed his brow and asked, “Why did I hear a whistle sound?”

Zhang San agreed, “I think I also heard a whistle, and after the cow in front heard the whistle, it called out twice, and the cows dispersed.”
