In a peaceful and beautiful small village, there lives a diligent and kind farmer named Daniel. Daniel is burly, with dark skin and a pair of rough big hands that seem to have infinite strength. There is always a simple and honest smile on his face, making people feel kind and reliable at first sight.
Daniel has deep affection for his land, which is the place where his ancestors have been cultivating diligently for generations. Every morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines on the earth, Daniel will carry farming tools and head towards that familiar field. He takes good care of every plant, weeding, fertilizing, and watering without slackening. Under Daniel's diligent work, the land becomes fertile and rich, and the crops grow vigorously, presenting a vibrant scene.
In addition to farming, Daniel also raises a group of cattle. These cattle are his treasures and an important reliance for his life. Daniel takes the cattle to graze every day. Watching them running and playing happily on the grassland, Daniel's heart is filled with joy and satisfaction. The cattle can not only help Daniel plow the land but also produce milk and beef, bringing him a lot of income.
However, fate is always full of variables. One day, a sudden disease struck Daniel's herd. The cattle were listless and had no appetite. Some even lay on the ground and couldn't get up. Daniel was extremely anxious. He searched everywhere for veterinarians, hoping to cure the disease of the cattle. But he searched all the nearby villages and towns and still couldn't find a doctor who could cure the cattle's disease.
Daniel felt desperate. He didn't know what to do. Looking at those sick cattle, his heart was full of pain and helplessness. He even began to doubt his life and feel that he was a failure. He felt that he was sorry for the hard work of his ancestors and also sorry for those villagers who trusted him.
Just when Daniel was in despair, a magical thing happened. One night, when Daniel was sitting tiredly in the cowshed, worrying about the condition of the cattle, he suddenly saw a dazzling light shooting down from the sky. In the light, a huge golden bull slowly emerged. The bull's body is huge, its fur is golden, and its eyes are flashing with mysterious light.
Daniel was stunned by the scene in front of him. He didn't know where this golden bull came from or why it appeared here. The golden bull looked at Daniel, its eyes full of pity and wisdom. It slowly walked to Daniel's side and licked Daniel's face with its huge tongue. Daniel felt the warmth and strength of the golden bull, and his heart was filled with hope and courage.
The golden bull spoke. Its voice was deep and powerful: "Poor farmer, I know you are worried about the condition of the cattle. I am Niu Jinniu. I can help you cure the disease of the cattle." After hearing the words of the golden bull, Daniel was so excited that tears filled his eyes. He quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the golden bull to express his thanks: "Thank you for your help, Lord Niu Jinniu. As long as you can cure my cattle, I am willing to do anything."
The golden bull nodded, and then dug a hole in the ground with its hoof. Immediately, a magical herb grew in the hole. The herb emitted a strong fragrance, making people feel refreshed after smelling it. The golden bull said to Daniel: "This is a magical herb. It can cure the disease of the cattle. You pick it back, boil it into a potion, and feed it to the cattle. They will recover."
Daniel carefully picked the herb and looked at the golden bull gratefully: "Thank you, Lord Niu Jinniu. I will definitely make good use of this herb and cure my cattle." The golden bull smiled slightly and then turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the sky.
Daniel took the herb back home and immediately started boiling the potion. According to the instructions of the golden bull, he boiled the herb into a thick potion. Then, he fed the potion to the cattle. Miraculously, those sick cattle immediately became energetic after drinking the potion. Their appetite recovered, and their bodies became strong again.
Daniel watched the cattle recover their health, and his heart was filled with joy and gratitude. He knew that all this was the gift of Niu Jinniu. He decided to work harder to cultivate the land and take good care of the cattle in the future to repay Niu Jinniu's kindness.
From then on, Daniel's life returned to its former tranquility. He still works hard to cultivate his land and take the cattle to graze every day. But in his heart, there is more awe and gratitude for Niu Jinniu. He knows that in this world, there is a mysterious power guarding him, allowing him to live a happy life.
In this process, Daniel also has a deeper understanding of Taoist thought. He understands that humans and nature are interdependent, and humans should respect nature and conform to nature. The appearance of Niu Jinniu made him realize the mystery and greatness of nature. He decided to cherish nature more, protect the environment, and live in harmony with nature.
Daniel's story spread in the village. People were amazed and admired by his experience. They came to Daniel's house one after another and asked him about Niu Jinniu. Daniel also unsparingly shared his experience with everyone, making everyone feel the mystery and greatness of nature.
As time passed, Daniel's story spread farther and farther and became a beautiful legend. When people tell this story, they will think of Daniel's diligence and kindness, as well as the mystery and greatness of Niu Jinniu. This legend also inspires people to bravely face the difficulties and challenges in life and believe that in this world, there is a mysterious power guarding them, allowing them to live a happy life.
In this peaceful and beautiful small village, the story of Daniel and Niu Jinniu will be passed down forever and become a guiding light in people's hearts, illuminating their way forward.
