Chapter Fifty-Four: The Sheep
Getting rid of the four sheep, I pulled Tian Yingying to run as hard as I could, chasing after the sheep that had just been separated.
Tian Yingying didn't run a few steps before she was out of breath:
"Huhu, why are you in such a hurry, I'm going to be angry......"
In fact, it's not just Tian Yingying, I just twisted the four sheep's heads, and I'm already exhausted.
"Don't hurry, you have to find the sheep quickly!"
"It only ran away when it was frightened, and when it came back to its senses, it would become one with the four sheep."
"We must find and seal it before we do it, or we will lose all our work."
After running some distance, I looked back.
The four sheep lost one of their heads, became a little stupid, and spun around in circles, which is a good thing for us.
Tian Yingying and I trotted all the way around, but we didn't see the separated sheep.
"Not at all, did it run away?"
Tian Yingying put her hands on her knees and gasped.
I thought about it for a moment, and finally shook my head. The four sheep were still in the village, and the lone sheep had no reason to run away.
At this time, I found a series of footprints on the ground:
"Sheep's hoof print, it looks new, it should be nearby."
I followed the hoof prints for some distance, but the hoof prints disappeared a short distance ahead, and it took a long time for them to reappear.
The interrupted footprints, with no traces of bouncing, are very strange.
"Could it be that this sheep will not be able to fly into the sky?"
I was guarding the footprints, puzzled, Tian Yingying suddenly pointed not far away, and shouted:
"Han Xiaoxie, look at what it is!"
I was startled by her, and instinctively looked overโ
I saw that on the flat ground, there were two twisted half-cut horns, and sparks would be sparked when they came into contact with the land.
After a while, a skeletal sheep's head poked out of the ground, and when it heard Tian Yingying's voice, it was so frightened that it drilled back again.
My eyes widened, and for a moment I couldn't accept this fact:
"This sheep will actually escape to the ground!"
Escape, this is the ability that the five sheep did not show before, I didn't expect the separated sheep to be able to escape, and it didn't seem to be bold.
But it can drill into the ground, and it is even more difficult to catch it.
Tian Yingying was so anxious that she turned around in place, half of it was in a hurry, and the other half should be ...... Excited.
"Han Xiaoxie, this sheep will actually escape! I've never seen a monster like this, so what can I do......"
Until now, I don't know why Tian Yingying's excitement is so special. I sighed, went to the place where the sheep's head had just come out, and dug down.
The soil did become a little looser, and there were other things mixed in with it, like the rice husks that I had in my hand.
"It's ...... Is it ......?"
Twisting the rice husk in my hand, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
I took Tian Yingying to the place where I lured five sheep with ears of wheat and knives, and sure enough, the rice on the ground was gone, and it should have been taken away by the sheep who could only escape from the ground.
I let out a sigh of relief:
"It seems that this one should be the sheep who liked rice very much before."
Tian Yingying scratched her head, looking confused, completely unaware of what I was talking about.
I thought about it, and took Tian Yingying to the village barn first, and then to the village mill, and finally found the sheep in the rice pile.
The skeleton sheep was lying in the rice pile, rolling and munching on it.
I don't know where a skeleton sheep has eaten all that rice.
As soon as they saw us, the skeleton sheep stood in a figure of eight with its hooves and pointed its horns at us, looking very nervous.
"Baa !!"
I raised my empty hand to show that there was no malice, Tian Yingying was even more harmless to humans and animals, and the skeleton sheep relaxed his vigilance a little.
"Huh!"
Tian Yingying leaned into my ear and said softly:
"Han Xiaoxie, what should we do next, do we just keep consuming it like this?"
I shook my head, consuming of course impossible:
"Let's take a look at it again, it seems that this sheep is not aggressive at the moment, and it is quite greedy."
In fact, the sheep is very gluttonous.
The skeletal sheep bleated for a while, and seeing that we had not made any further movements, he lay down on the pile of rice again and began to munch on it.
This time, I watched every movement of it.
The skeleton sheep does not eat the rice in one go, the part it eats in its mouth is the most tender, and it will also peel off the old rice husks, I have never seen it so picky eater.
And although the skeleton sheep ate a lot, it didn't seem to be particularly enjoyable, and it tasted like chewing wax, looking at us coldly.
I frowned, feeling something was wrong.
"Silly girl, this barn has been burned by black fire before, right?"
"That's right, it was burned, the fire was still very big just now, and now it is basically extinguished."
I nodded, and slowly retreated with Tian Yingying, because I thought of something.
Since the barn has just been burned by black fire, the rice inside will definitely not escape the baptism of black fire. Black fire can burn away popularity and all positive emotions, and the rice that has been burned by it definitely doesn't taste good.
So when the skeleton sheep was eating, it looked absent-minded.
It is so gluttonous, if I could find some rice for it that has not been burned by the black fire, it may be different.
"Silly girl, follow me!"
I took Tian Yingying to trot all the way, and arrived at a place that had not yet been burned by the black fire, which was already the edge of Wuyangtun.
Looking in the direction of the processing plant, you can see that there are lights on there, and there are vague people standing outside, not knowing what they are doing.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and although the village was in chaos, the villagers were still safe, which was a blessing in misfortune.
I walked around and was lucky enough to find a cart with a cart of rice on it, I don't know what the villagers were going to do with it, but it was working right now.
"Silly girl, grab a handful of rice, let's go back!"
Tian Yingying stuck out her tongue, although she was reluctant, she still obediently helped.
When we returned to the barn with the rice, the skeleton sheep was still here, but no longer rolling in the rice pile, but standing in a daze, as if it was about to leave.
"Baa~"
Fortunately, it was too late, so I hurriedly asked Tian Yingying to put down the rice she was holding.
When the skeleton sheep saw this handful of rice that had not been harmed by the black fire, the black fire in his eyes burned a little more vigorously, and he rushed up and stuffed it into his mouth as if Tian Yingying and I did not exist.
"This sheep is really greedy......"
I felt amused, but I also opened Tian Yingying's army-green schoolbag and took out something that belonged to me from inside......
