Then, following the instructions in the feeding guide, he first grabbed a handful of green grass, circled to the front of the cow’s head, and stuffed the grass into the pen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cow raised its eyes, its large pupils looking at Xuzhou—and the green grass in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuzhou’s hands shivered involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cow calmly stuck out its tongue, rolled the grass into its mouth, and chewed—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a success!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joy flashed in Xuzhou’s eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he grabbed another handful of green grass and continued feeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cow again extended its tongue, rolled up the grass, and chewed with relish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Xuzhou stiffened his face and solemnly said, \"Dear cow, please don’t kick me, alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cow continued chewing, deeply embodying the meaning of ’casting pearls before swine.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuzhou mustered up the courage, opened the pen, the cow leisurely swishing its tail, seemingly unaffected, as Xuzhou slowly moved to its rear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was closely watching Xuzhou’s every move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone clicked their tongues in unison: \"Little Zhouzhou... is actually quite impressive!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xuzhou had positioned himself, the cow’s hind leg kicked out fiercely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuzhou was caught off guard and took a hard fall!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone gasped:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How miserable!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuzhou got up, walking out of the pen with some difficulty.
