Chapter 16: The Brown Sack
Ye Zhenzhen grinned: "Senior Nan, I said the wrong thing just now, you are helpful, and you do not hesitate to sacrifice your time to help me, thank you, if you still have time to stay in S City after the meeting, I will invite you to eat the specialties of S City - a large plate of chicken and roast mutton, how about it?"
Nan Zhiqiao smiled slightly and asked, "Are you going back to the dinner of the Paris cruise?"
Ye Zhenzhen remembered the night trip to Paris with Nan Zhiqiao, although unfortunately fell into the water, but the beautiful scenery around the Seine River still made her unforgettable for life, Ye Zhenzhen shook her head, "It's not a reply, I will count it later, this time it's because you helped investigate the sheep ranch and Zhongsheng's illness."

Nan Zhiqiao stopped, on the steep valley path, Ye Zhenzhen didn't pay attention, and bumped into Nan Zhiqiao in front of her, Ye Zhenzhen rubbed her nose that was hurt, and asked, "Why did you stop suddenly?"
Nan Zhiqiao: "Do you smell anything?"
The breeze in the valley blows, the wind carries a fishy smell, compared with the fresh air on the hillside, the smell of the valley floor seems to be extremely unpleasant, just now the two of them are in the bushes, located in the upwind outlet, they can't smell the smell, and now they follow the wind direction to the path, the breeze blows, and the smell instantly floats over.
Ye Zhenzhen frowned, "There is a stench, like the smell of rotting pork." ”
Nan Zhiqiao: "There are many ethnic minorities in the sheep pasture in the northern suburbs, and the diet is halal, no one will raise pigs, how can there be the smell of rotten pork?"
Ye Zhenzhen: "It may also be that after the death of wild animals, the corpses are left in the valley, and after a long time, the smell of decay is emitted. ”
Nan Zhi Qiao looked at the bushes upwind, the bushes were dense, and it was possible that there were wild animals in them, and Nan Zhi Qiao sighed, "Maybe." ”
Nan Zhiqiao stepped forward and continued along the valley path towards the hillside, Ye Zhenzhen followed closely behind, and the stench wafting from the wind was disgusting.
The two of them accelerated their pace at the same time, but the mountain road was steep, although they had the intention to walk quickly, but they still walked slowly, suddenly, a dark shadow skipped in the sky, and the two clearly felt that the sky was dark, and the two looked up at the same time, only to see a big vulture hovering in the air.
The vulture is huge, spreads its two wings, has a rear wingspan of more than two meters long and more than one meter wide, and is black-brown overall.
The vulture flew low above Nan Zhiqiao and Ye Zhenzhen's heads, hovering a few times over the bushes upwind, and just when they thought that the vulture would land in the bushes, the huge aerial bird of prey flapped its wings and flew away, and in the blink of an eye, it flew out of the valley and disappeared.
Ye Zhenzhen sighed: "Even vultures can't stand this smell, and they don't eat the corpses in their mouths." ”
Nan Zhiqiao: "The vulture is a scavenging bird of prey, it is not afraid of the smell of corpses, it does not fall into the bushes, there may be no animal carcasses there, or there are living creatures in the bushes that make it fearful. ”
Before Nan Zhiqiao's words fell, he heard two dog barks from the bushes just now, "Wangwang......"
The two followed the dog's barking sound, and saw that a black and white Kazakh shepherd dog was slowly moving out of the bushes, the shepherd dog moved slowly, and there was a thing in its mouth, but it was too far away, and it was blocked by the bushes, and it was not really visible.
The shepherd dog dragged something on the ground with its beak and walked out, stopping to bark twice from time to time, and soon a brown sack was dragged out of the bushes.
Ye Zhenzhen stared at the brown sack, only felt very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, and then looked at the white rope tied to the mouth of the sack, wasn't it the brown sack that two men carried out of the sheepfold by the sheepfold in the morning, when Ye Zhenzhen left, she also deliberately looked back, and the direction in which the two men carried the sack away was the valley here.
Ye Zhenzhen grabbed Nan Zhiqiao, pointed to the brown sack dragged out by the shepherd, and said in surprise: "Senior Nan, you see, the sack dragged out by the shepherd dog was carried out of the sheepfold by the ranch workers in the morning, I don't know what is inside?"
"Are you sure?"
"Well, sure, the sack is brown, the mouth of the sack is tied with a white rope, and the direction they carried the sack away is this valley, and there should be no mistake. ”
Nan Zhiqiao looked at the sheepfold on the hillside, and then looked at the brown sack in the bushes, mixed with the stench in the mountain wind, a sense of foreboding filled his mind, Nan Zhiqiao waved his hand at the bushes at the upwind outlet, and said, "Let's go, go and see." ”
The two of them returned from the valley path, and when they approached the bushes, the pungent stench was getting stronger and stronger, Ye Zhenzhen covered her nose with her hands and followed behind Nan Zhiqiao.
"Woo ......"
When the shepherd dog saw someone approaching, he barked twice, and the two stopped and stood five paces away from the dog.
Nan Zhiqiao made a silent gesture to the sheepdog, and the sheepdog really stopped barking, but just stood quietly by the brown sack.
Seeing this, Ye Zhenzhen asked in surprise: "Senior Nan, will you communicate with the shepherd?"
Nan Zhiqiao: "This kind of black and white Kazakh sheepdog has a high IQ, since it is used to shepherd sheep, it must have been trained to understand some basic human command gestures, and it should be asking for help when it barked just now." ”
"Help, you mean, this shepherd dog is guarding what's in the sack?"
"Hmm. Nan Zhiqiao nodded, and then took a step forward, and when the shepherd dog saw this, he actually took a step back.
Ye Zhenzhen stared at the sheepdog, the sheepdog wagged its tail at the two, it seemed that there was no hostility towards the two, Ye Zhenzhen also took a step forward, and the sheepdog stayed by the sack and did not move.
Ye Zhenzhen wanted to go over and open the sack, but was stopped by Nan Zhiqiao, who said in a commanding tone: "You stay here, I'll go." ”
Ye Zhenzhen stood in place, Nan Zhiqiao slowly walked to the sack, leaned over to untie the rope tied to the sack, and the moment the sack mouth opened, a slippery, slimy white object was scratched out.
Ye Zhenzhen was startled, and Nan Zhiqiao also took a step back to avoid the liquid flowing out from sticking to her body.
The two of them stabilized their minds, and when they looked closely, the white object that slipped out of the sack was actually a white lamb, the lamb was wrapped in transparent and slightly yellow mucus, and the umbilical cord was connected to the afterbirth, bloody, and the blood was dark, like lack of oxygen, and like poisoning, and then looked at the eyes of the lamb, which had begun to rot a little.
Ye Zhenzhen covered her nose and sighed: "It turned out to be an aborted lamb." ”
Nan Zhiqiao looked at the lamb's slightly rotten eyes, frowned and said: "Judging from the state of the afterbirth, the lamb has just come out of the mother's body, and it should not be more than a day, but the corners of the eyes are ulcerated, the amniotic fluid is yellow, and there is a fishy smell, which means that the lamb is sick in the mother's body, so it will be miscarried." ”
