He is the second child, his brother is Shi, and his father is an honest tiller, farming for the big landlords in the village for a living, and the second child herds cattle for his family. Liu Desheng is stingy and often doesn't give the shepherd boy breakfast, saying that "the cat doesn't have dinner, the dog doesn't have lunch and the cowboy doesn't have breakfast". Pasturing cattle to the owner also means going hungry every day. Wang Erxiao is full of resentment at his master's meanness and often curses in private. One day, appetite overcame reason and finally broke out violently, making him desperate to satisfy this desire. This is the occurrence of the "eating cattle" incident, and it also shows his "refugee habit".

Here's the thing:

One day, Wang Erxiao and his partner were herding cattle for the master on the mountain. They were really hungry, so many people came up with some food ideas. Some said, "Go down to the river to catch fish." The other said, "The drought is so severe that the water is almost dry. Where can there be fish? " Some said, "There are rabbits on the mountain. Let's go up and catch them. " The other went on to say, "I can't walk fast, so I don't have the strength to drive the rabbit away." As the opinion was rejected, everyone bowed their heads and stopped talking.

Wang Erxiao never spoke, just stared at a calf in the herd. He suddenly jumped up and tied the calf's front and rear legs with a cow rope. The partner on the side immediately understood, picked up the firewood axe and used it as an axe. Other friends gathered around, and too many cooks peeled the cowhide, then picked up some dry wood and dead branches, and cooked roast beef on the spot. They were all very happy, and soon only the head and tail of the cow were left. After a hearty meal, someone suddenly remembered: how can I tell my master if I go back without a cow? Everyone looked at each other and complained to each other. Some timid people even burst into tears.

Wang Erxiao thought for a moment and said, "Don't be afraid. It was my idea. I will handle it. " He asked everyone to bury the cowhide and bones, cover the blood on the ground with soil, and then put the cow's head on the other side of the mountain and the cow's tail in the crevice here.

The sun went down, and everyone was driving the cows back, all depressed and sad. As soon as Wang Erxiao saw Liu De, he said, "A calf went into the mountain and fell into a crack in the stone. No matter how you pull it, you can't pull it out. " Can this trick fool the cunning Liu De? That night, Wang Erxiao was beaten, kicked out and lost his job.

From then on, it aroused Wang Erxiao's deep hatred for the feudal landlord class! Other disciples later took part in the Red Army Uprising and were the first to sacrifice the life of the landlord when they returned home.

Capable people influence others, and incompetent people are influenced by others.
