Lin Weiguo and Merlin sat side by side in the middle of the flock, feeling the warm and soft fluff of the sheep, their heads covered with Lin Weiguo's shirt, and their faces buried in their arms.

With the wind raging in his ears and the frightened and desperate screams of the sheep, Merlin leaned in front of Lin Weiguo, his shoulders were wide and warm, protecting her tightly.

The power of heaven and earth is irresistible.

The wind was very strong, blowing so much that people almost wanted to fly, Lin Weiguo felt that he couldn't control his body, and was moving along the direction of the wind little by little.

At some point, Merlin had already slipped into his arms, and he did his best to protect her, for fear that her petite would be blown away by the strong wind.

The storm came and went quickly, and I don't know how long it took, but the wind and sand gradually calmed down.

The sheep slowly regained their vitality and began to move.

Lin Weiguo uncovered his clothes and stood up, shook the thick dust on his clothes, and reached out to pull Merlin.

"It's okay Merlin, the storm has passed. ”

The sheep were shaking the sand on their bodies vigorously, and Lin Weiguo and Merlin were also patting their clothes, turning around and patting the sand on each other's backs and shoulders.

The ears and nostrils of the two were full of sand, Merlin took out a handkerchief and went to the river to wipe his face, and washed the handkerchief for Lin Weiguo.

Lin Weiguo was busy inspecting the sheep.

He walked around the flock and found one of the sheep lying on the ground, a puddle of dirty blood under it, already dying.

This is a pregnant ewe, and along with several other pregnant sheep, they have been receiving extra care and are given better forage than other sheep.

There was also a dusty mass next to the ewe, and if you looked closely, it was a lamb, covered in sand, struggling to get up.

It seems that this ewe was squeezed or trampled in the storm just now, resulting in premature birth.

Lin Weiguo looked at the situation of the ewe, and found that it was no longer saved, so he turned to the lamb.

The little lamb was drenched, and the umbilical cord was still attached to his body, Lin Weiguo took out the Mongolian knife he carried with him, wiped it clean on his clothes, cut the umbilical cord of the lamb, and wiped the blood and mud from the lamb's mouth and nose with a towel.

Next, it's up to its own will to survive.

Merlin came to him, saw the poor lamb, exclaimed, and went to pick it up.

Lin Weiguo stopped her and handed her the towel: "Wash it clean." ”

Merlin obediently turned around and left, and handed his wet handkerchief to Lin Weiguo before leaving: "You also wipe your face." ”

Lin Weiguo hesitated for a moment and didn't take it, so he took it, and saw that the handkerchief was cleanly washed, with a red plum blossom embroidered on it, thinking of the warmth, softness and fragrance that she hid in his arms just now, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

He was not embarrassed to use the handkerchief, and carefully kept it in his pocket.

The wet handkerchief quickly soaked his clothes, and the soaked clothes stuck to his chest, cold and silky.

Merlin returned with a wet towel, and the two worked together to scrub the lamb clean.

This is a little white lamb, the body is weak, but about three or four pounds, with a black forehead and a black tail, at this time it looks a little more energetic, its mouth is moving, barely making a faint sound.

Merlin knew that the lamb was going to feed, and she turned her eyes to the ewe.

However, the ewe has not moved for half a day, and she will not be able to do it.

Lin Weiguo squatted beside the ewe, looked over its body, and without saying a word, pulled out a knife and stabbed it into the ewe's neck.

The ewe twitched slightly, completely immovable.

Merlin's eyes widened in surprise and she covered her mouth.

He actually killed it!

He killed the lamb's mother in front of it!

How could he be so ruthless? He was such a ruthless person?

Lin Weiguo dragged the ewe to the horse and put it away, picked up the lamb and wrapped it in his coat, he bent his legs and sat down, put the lamb on his knees, and warmed it with the temperature of his chest.

Merlin watched him do all this, stunned.

Is the man who killed the ewe the same person as the man who held the lamb to his chest?

It was a long time before she walked slowly over and sat down far away from him.

As if the previous storm hadn't happened, the sky was still blue and the sheep continued to graze.

Lin Weiguo gently rubbed the lamb's fur with his own clothes and slowly dried it.

The lamb had some spirits, and his mouth was squirming and arching around.

Merlin had an idea, ran to the river, dipped his handkerchief in water, and squeezed a few drops into the lamb's mouth.

The little lamb stretched out its pink tongue and licked the droplets, and arched forward again, as if a little dissatisfied, and opened her eyes to look at Merlin.

Merlin was instantly drawn to it.

It was a pair of clear, unadulterated eyes, looking at her brightly, as if full of longing.

Its little pink nose arched in her direction again, and its small white fur curls were soft and fluffy, and it looked very cute.

"Look at how pitiful it is, Lin Weiguo, let's find a way to give it some milk. Merlin couldn't help but reach out and touch its soft fur, and pleaded to Lin Weiguo.

Lin Weiguo: ......

He remembered that there was a ewe with a lamb in the flock, so he gave the lamb to Merlin, and got up and went to look for it.

It was in the blink of an eye that he suddenly noticed that the sheep on the other side of the river were in a little commotion, and then the sheep were in disarray, and the cries of terror rang out one after another.

Lin Weiguo's eyes were sharp, and he saw a gray shadow flashing, and a gray-haired tail shook for a moment.

"There are wolves!"

Without thinking, he pulled out his knife and ran over.

In the seventies, there were still a lot of wolves on the steppe.

They easily do not dare to confront humans, unless a very hungry wolf dares to take advantage of the shepherd's unpreparedness to take a lamb from the flock and flee.

When there is a shepherd, the wolf does not dare to bite the sheep, which will slow it down, not only will it not eat much meat, but it will easily lose its life.

Today, the wolf may have been blown away by the storm, or it may have been hungry and stupid, and after catching the lamb, he did not escape, and was still tearing and devouring the lamb in place.

The sheep scattered and fled, a ewe stood alone in place, screaming miserably, seeing Lin Weiguo coming, it seemed to see a savior, and it screamed louder one after another.

The poor ewe is the mother of the lamb that has been dragged away, and she is crying to her master for help, begging her master to save her child.

Lin Weiguo grabbed the Mongolian knife and ran over shouting, hoping to scare the wolf.

Without a gun and a wooden club, with only a short Mongolian knife, he did not dare to guarantee that he would be able to protect both the sheep and Merlin.

It would be nice if it could scare it away.

The steppe wolf saw a human approaching and immediately tried to drag its prey away, but after only a few steps, it had to stop.

The weight of the prey severely slows it down, while also restraining its most powerful attack weapon, its teeth.

With the prey in its mouth, it is impossible to fight, the wolf reluctantly put down the prey, and the blood on the neck of the lamb was still dripping from the side of its mouth, it maintained a posture of preparing to escape, and turned its head to look at Lin Weiguo.
