Chapter 54: Finding the Sheep
Xu was worried, Bei Xiaoya didn't notice that something was wrong when she first returned home. It wasn't until she habitually brought food to the lamb that she found it gone. No wonder she always feels weird when she gets home, usually when she comes home, the lamb always rubs her leg and waits for her to open the door.
She's getting sluggish and sluggish now, and it's only now that she realizes it's gone.
By this time, the sun has set, so be sure to get it back before it gets dark. Bei Xiaoya didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly walked out of the door to look for it.
She went to the back field first, because there was more to eat there, but when she got to the field, there were green patches everywhere, and there was not even a white spot to be seen. The family members who worked in the fields also returned home, and there was no one to ask.
Bei Xiaoya began to panic a little, except for the troops and some people, almost all the others were wasteland, and several woods were still a few kilometers away from the troops. So far, Bei Xiaoya has not even seen a normal village. The only thing she could think of was to look for grass wherever there was, and the lamb was a greedy eater, and it would not always burrow in the desert. With a little clue, her heart calmed down a little.
Except for the grass on the road leading to the field, the rest of the house is to the east, which is roughly the same direction as the small market. Bei Xiaoya trotted all the way over and began to look along the grassy place. The sky gradually darkened, and she carefully looked at the place where there was green grass on the ground in the afterglow of the slanting sun, and sure enough, the grass was bitten messily, and she was looking in the right direction.
Bei Xiaoya walked farther and farther east, and it was completely dark, but fortunately, there were still stars and moonlight in the sky, so she couldn't see the road.
"Huh."
In the silence of the night, except for the occasional wild cat, the cry of the lamb is quite abrupt. Bei Xiaoya squatted down and tilted her ears sideways to judge the direction of the sheep.
"Huh."
This time she heard it more clearly, and Bei Xiaoya walked in the direction where the voice came. After only a few moments, she saw a white ball bouncing around in a circle. She hurried over, only to realize that the rope around the neck of the lamb was caught by a dead bush on the ground.
When the lamb saw her, it was like seeing a savior, and threw himself into her arms, his little head clinging to his chest, and he must have been too frightened to understand.
Bei Xiaoya untied the rope and was about to walk back with it, but at this time, there was a "hum" sound from the bushes behind her. I have to say that this situation is a little scary, there are shadowy black shadows everywhere in the moonlight, and she can really see for a moment that there are unknown creatures hidden somewhere.
"Hmph, hmph."
The thing finally emerged from the bushes, black and short, strong.
"Huh." The lamb may have been frightened by its voice, and after barking, it hid itself in Bei Xiaoya's arms.
Bei Xiaoya didn't have the heart to study any more of its species, so she hurriedly walked in the direction she came from. The thing was a little excited when it heard the lamb's cry, and now it saw the fast-moving figure, and it became even more excited. The short legs suddenly moved quickly and chased them in the direction they had run away.
"Hmph."
Its dull cry approached again, and Bei Xiaoya's heart began to tremble. She didn't recognize any species, let alone tell if it was carnivorous or herbivorous, and there was nothing she could do but run wild.
"Ahh The more anxious she is, the more likely it is to go wrong, she didn't see the road clearly, and her foot accidentally stepped into a small pit, and the surface of her foot twisted into a frightening arc. The next second, the pain in her heart came from the soles of her feet, and her feet were so painful that she didn't even dare to touch the ground.
The creature stopped when she stopped, and then slowly approached. Only then did Bei Xiaoya see its face a little clearly, with a long nose and big ears.
Pig?
This barren mountain can't be a wild boar, right?
A terrible piece of news immediately came to her mind, but she didn't remember reading it on that app, saying that a wild boar had run into the village and killed someone.
Bei Xiaoya couldn't help but feel a chill down her back when she saw it approaching step by step, and cold sweat began to break out on her head.
"Uh......h Woo......"
Suddenly, there was another animal's cry behind him, and this call was so familiar that its legs would automatically go limps when it was heard. This place is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
When the wild boar heard the wolf's cry, he ran faster than he had chased them. Bei Xiaoya stood there trembling with the lamb in her arms, waiting for the wolf to come.
I'm afraid this little life will be put on hold tonight.
Before the wolf could wait, there was the sound of human footsteps behind him, and the sound of heavy gasping of people. Bei Xiaoya turned around, and sure enough, she saw a tall and thin figure running towards her.
"Lu Hao?"
"Still sitting, hurry up and wait for the wild boar to come back." The person who came turned out to be Lu Hao, and he quickly ran to Bei Xiaoya's side and picked her up.
"My foot seems to have been strained, and now it hurts terribly." Bei Xiaoya tried to stand up, but her feet hurt badly as soon as she touched the ground.
Lu Hao looked around, for fear that the wild boar would go and return again.
"I'll help you go." Lu Hao grabbed her shoulders and half-hugged her and prepared to leave.
"Why don't you go first, there are wolves in this place, and if the wolves come in a while, neither of us can leave." She hung it up, and she couldn't pull another cushion back.
"What kind of wolves, the wolves are all in the old mountains in the northeast, I pretended to be just now."
Without waiting for her to ask again, Lu Hao walked back with her, the wolf was fake, and the wild boar was real. Wild boars hurt people in the mountains, and he couldn't do that.
Because of Bei Xiaoya's severe foot injury, she was almost dragged by Lu Hao, and the two of them inevitably slowed down a lot, and after walking for a long time, Lu Hao couldn't stand her anymore. They are not trained to carry weights, so it is rare to be able to carry her so far.
He looked down at the sheep that Bei Xiaoya was holding in his arms, and finally couldn't help but say, "Otherwise, throw this sheep away, and I'll buy you another one when I go back." ”
Bei Xiaoya and Xiaoyang listened to his words, and they all shot their eyes at him, Lu Hao was cold on the back of their eyes, and quickly silenced her, and continued to carry her with all his strength.
After walking for a while, Lu Hao seemed to really can't bear it, and he started to shake with Bei Xiaoya, and almost fell several times, making Bei Xiaoya embarrassed.
"Let's rest, it's not far from the team site anyway." From their current position, they could already see the faint lights emanating from the courtyard of the troops, and they looked like they would be able to walk to the place in another twenty minutes.
"Okay." Lu Hao nodded again and again, and helped her to sit down on a mound of dirt next to her, and then sat on the side with his butt on his own, looking weak.
Bei Xiaoya waited for him to breathe steadily before asking, "Why are you here?" ”
"I'm with you." He asked a friend to buy some painting tools in the county, and took the material truck two days ago to transport them, and he didn't want to put them into storage directly, so he went to get them back today. I wanted to send her over, but before I could get to the family home, I saw her running east. He put his things at the door of the family courtyard and chased after him. I wanted to call her, but I was curious about what she was running out for, so I didn't make a sound.
"You are so bold, it is so dark and you keep going east, I see that wild cat came out of my legs are weak, you don't know how to be afraid." Lu Hao pinched his shoulders as he spoke, and his shoulders were sore all the way to her.
"Thank you." The boar had been scared away by him just now, otherwise she would have been trampled into mud.
Lu Hao listened to her words and quickly waved his hand in disgust. Both men sat in silence in the moonlight, not speaking.
"Let's go on."
After resting for a while, Lu Hao's strength recovered, and he continued to walk back with her. They had only taken a few steps when a faint light came from directly in front of them, round, as dim as a tungsten lamp, and there were several beams of light.
