A cool breeze swept across my cheeks, and when I opened my eyes, the beautiful blue sky and white clouds reflected in my eyelids, and the shepherd's song that seemed to have been lost for a long time was still rippling in my ears, and I stretched out on the grass and sat up, and the playful girl standing among the sheep was singing selflessly.

I patted the weeds on my body and stood up, shouting at her, "Cool, it's getting late, it's time to go home!" ”

"Okay, I'm here!" She waved the long whip in her hand to drive the sheep to this side, and when she came to me, she smiled and said, "Sister, every time you come out to herd the sheep, you are sleeping lazy, be careful to become a pig!" ”

I stretched out my hand and patted her on the head lightly, pretending to be angry, "Dare to say that your sister is a pig, are you tired of being alive?" As I spoke, I reached into her waist and tickled her, "Still talking?" ”

was scratched by me, she begged for mercy, "Sister and sister spare my life, I don't dare......"

"Okay, count you as acquaintances!" I let go when I heard her beg for mercy.

After laughing, she reached out to remove the weeds from my hair for me, "Sister, you are a girl's family, don't always sleep on the grass, see you are dirty." ”

Her action made me feel a burst of emotion in my heart, this feeling is very familiar and familiar, but it seems to be a long time away, when I met her clear eyes, my heart was immediately relieved, and the corners of my lips couldn't help but hook a smile, this little girl helps me clean up the weeds in my hair every day, how can it not be familiar? It's just that it always feels weird.

"Sister, you look so good when you smile, if only I could be half as beautiful as you." Liang Qiao looked at me with envy and said.

Hearing this, I reached out and pinched her fleshy little face and smiled, "Our family's cool and beautiful is also very beautiful, what a cute little girl!" ”

"Sister, it hurts!" She reached out and patted my dishonest hand away, pouting.

I smiled at her, "Okay, it's time to go home, Grandma must have prepared a big table of food waiting for us!" ”

At this moment, the grass on the opposite side suddenly moved, I thought I was dazzled, and then a black thing jumped out of the grass, and immediately I heard the scream of a lamb, and the sheep fled in all directions.

"It's a wolf... What should I do with my sister? "Liang Qiao was so frightened by the big black wolf that he hid behind me.

In fact, I was also scared, but as an older sister, I have the obligation to protect my sister, I protected her behind me, and the big black wolf was biting the dead lamb as if no one was around, and I yelled at it angrily, "You have already eaten our sheep, you must not hurt my sister again!" ”

"Whew~" I didn't expect that because of my words, the big black wolf would howl at the sky, and after a while, a group of wolves came from all directions, and now we couldn't escape.

"Well... A lot of wolves... What should I do, sister? "Liang Qiao was already scared to cry at this time, and I was so scared that my legs went weak.

"It's okay, it's okay, Sister is here, Sister will protect you." I feigned composure and held her tightly behind me, I didn't know who else could save us now.

Seeing the wolves getting closer and closer, but at this moment a young man in a wolfskin coat appeared, and when he whistled, the wolves immediately left, and when he approached, I realized that this was a good-looking boy.

"Thank you for saving us." I politely thanked him, and when I met his eyes, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and I couldn't help but ask, "We... Have we seen this before? ”

The young man looked at me seriously, and then said, "No, it's the first time I've been here, and I haven't seen it." ”

"Sister, our sheep!" Liang Qiao suddenly interrupted our gaze and pointed to the fleeing flock.

"Oops! What can I do? I stomped my foot in a hurry, and when the boy saw that I was in such a hurry, he whistled again, and the wolves that had already left reappeared.

Liang Qiao was already frightened, and hid behind me and said in fear: "Sister, the wolf is here again..."

"Don't worry, I'm just going to let them drive your flock back." The boy said, and the wolves quickly drove the sheep back.

Looking at this teenager, I had a very strange feeling, I smiled and said to him, "Thank you so much, my name is Liangxi, what's your name?" But he didn't answer me.

"I still have to go beforehand." After the boy finished speaking, he turned around and quickly disappeared into the edge of the grassland.

Seeing that the wolves had left, Liang Qiaocai patted his chest and said, "It's really scared to death!" Sister, don't you think that person is so strange? ”

"Is there one?" I didn't answer the rhetorical question.

"Yes!"

Seeing that she hadn't settled her soul yet, I couldn't help but snicker, "Aha, let's not talk about it, let's go back quickly!" ”

"But Sister, one of our sheep died, how can I explain to Grandma when I go back?" Liang Qiao asked worriedly.

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "How else can I explain it?" Let's be honest! ”

"But..."

She wanted to say something more, but I grabbed her shoulder and patted her chest and said, "Don't be it, isn't there still Sister I?" I'll take care of something. ”

Back at home, Grandma really made a big table of dishes waiting for us to go home, as usual, but today's atmosphere seems a little weird, Grandma and Abba look a little uncomfortable.

I sandwiched a large piece of braised pork and put it in Grandma's bowl, and asked with a smile, "Grandma, did you quarrel with Abba today?" Why doesn't your face look good? ”

Grandma looked at me, and then at Abba, the two were still silent, such an atmosphere made me have a bad premonition, then Liang Qiao couldn't help but speak, "Abba and Mommy, you guys are telling me what's going on?" ”

"Do you know the Temple of the Goddess?" Grandma finally spoke.

PowerbyYOZOSOFT

I don't know why Grandma suddenly mentioned this, after all, we are relatively only herdsmen living in the prairie, but we have heard a lot of legends about the shrine of the goddess.

Every hundred years, the temple of the goddess must select a young girl to inherit the mantle of the goddess, and the mission of the goddess is to be in charge of the wheel of life in the Three Realms, and at the same time assist the monarch to dominate the world.

If she is lucky enough to become a goddess, she will live forever for a hundred years, but her life will also be buried here, because the goddess must be the wife of the monarch, and she must dutifully assist the monarch and protect her subjects, which is the mission of the goddess, but none of this seems to concern us.
