Subtitles:
When my father Yao An was working in the Ministry of Justice, there was a robbery outside the city gate by a gangster of seven. The government arrested five of them, and only Wang Wu and Jin Big Teeth escaped. Wang Wu fled to the neighboring county, but was blocked by a deep ditch. The only passable path was a small bridge where a bull lay with its eyes wide open in anger.
1:00
As soon as he approached the bridge, the bull started to butt him with its horns. He tried to escape by detour, but he came across patrol officers and was arrested. Jin Big Teeth fled to the north of a river bridge and was pushed into the mud by two cows driven by a cowherd. Jin Big Teeth was furious and started fighting with the cowherd boy.
This river is not far from Beijing. Someone recognized him as the wanted gangster and reported him to the local police, who arrested him, tied him up and handed him over to the government.
Wang Wu and Jin Big Teeth were both Muslim, both of whom slaughtered cattle for a living, and the cattle defeated both.
2:00
Isn't it because the slaughtering business they run is too cruel? Even though they are animals, they still harbor resentment, so their violent rage retaliated with the aid of their own kind.
If this were not the case, Jin Big Teeth being pushed down by the cow could be considered an accident, but who was the one ordering Wang Wu to run into the cow lying on the bridge for no reason?
