What are the details of the story of Cowherd and Weaver Girl?

As far as I know, online rumors have two details. It can be said that everyone's brain hole is also relatively large. The first one is the cowherd peeking at the Weaver Girl taking a bath, and the second one is about the death of the old cow. After reading these two details, I have a new view on the love story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, which simply refreshes my world view. I will tell you the details of these two ideas below.

The first one: Cowherd peeks at Weaver Girl taking a bath. In the version I saw, Niu Lang was a peeping tom. He peeped at the Weaver Girl to take a bath three times and five times, and then fell in love with the Weaver Girl, but there was nothing he could do. So he wanted the old cow to find out and he came up with many ways for him. Moreover, the old cow advanced the time for Weaver Girl to take a bath and told Cowherd every time. Slowly, Weaver discovered this peeping tom and reduced the number of times he bathed, which just explained the saying that one day in the sky and one year underground.

Second: the cause of death of the old cow. I heard that the cowherd killed the old cow on his own initiative, which may be puzzling to everyone, because the cowherd's livelihood depends entirely on the old cow, and the Weaver Girl is also attracted by the old cow. Why not kill such a big loyal minister? The explanation on the Internet is that the cowherd was afraid that the old cow would tell the truth to the Weaver Girl and that his true face would be exposed, so he moved first. I have to admit, there is some truth in this.

The love story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl is actually very beautiful, but if you look closely, you can still see many confusing details, such as the function of the Cowherd's own flying shoes. Since they are flying shoes, why not just fly to find the Weaver Girl and walk on a bridge in the Galaxy? Once a year? I wish I could fly directly to the Weaver Girl. I don't know what Cowherd thinks.
