She confirmed once again.
"This..."
At this point, the uncle paused in his speech.
"The person is fine, but the cow... Old Wang, Old Wang, come here for a moment."
He turned his head and called out to a companion who was moving bamboo baskets; the uncle set down the bamboo basket and walked over.
"Old Wang, this young lady wants to ask about your cow. Didn't your cow die the other day? The county magistrate even compensated you with another one, right?" the uncle asked Old Wang.
"Yes, yes."
Old Wang nodded in agreement.
"I have no idea what happened. When I fed it fodder in the evening, it was completely fine. But by the next day at dawn, when I went to lead the cow to deliver vegetables to the county town, it had no breath left in it.
It was just the day before yesterday. My cow wasn't sick at all, so how could it have died just like that?"
"Where's the cow?" Lin Caisang hurriedly asked.
"Uh..."
Old Wang, hearing her question, looked at her awkwardly.
