Chapter 206: Twenty-one Sheep
On the way to the ranch, Li Shasha kept ignoring Su Zeai, and Su Ze could only ride the ingots and follow her slowly. He still hasn't figured out why Li Shasha is angry with himself because he doesn't want to help a herdsman?
Li Jing rode a horse and walked side by side with Li Shasha, and was silent for a long time, before he couldn't bear to sigh lonely, and while leaning on the reins to get closer to Li Shasha, he turned his head to peek at Su Ze, who was expressionless, and then whispered: "Sister, are you angry at your brother-in-law's cold-bloodedness, or are you angry at your own incompetence?"
Li Shasha glanced at Li Jing, "You are incompetent, your whole family is ...... None but me!"
"Hey, hey. Li Jing smiled evilly and said, "You can fool others, can you fool me? Our family's heroic spirits have always only followed girls, and the magic of charm is also shared with summoners. Although you are a little beauty when you are young, you also have to admit that there are not perverts everywhere in the world, and the reason why those men drool when they see you is also the sin of the red sleeves. It's a pity that there is a steady stream of flies who don't want to be charmed, but the brother-in-law who wants to charm can't be charmed, do you dare to say that you are not angry because of this?"
"Hmph......" was told by her younger brother, and Li Shasha didn't bother to quibble.
In fact, from the time of the competition to recruit relatives, the masked man felt that Su Ze's character was qualified, and after the battle to defend the city, Li Jing felt that only a strong man like Su Ze was worthy of his flowery sister. Otherwise, who TM has nothing to do when he is full all day long, staring at an irrelevant man called brother-in-law?
"You too, knowing that your brother-in-law won't apologize to you properly, what kind of temper are you playing in front of him? After speaking, without waiting for Li Shasha to object, Li Jing turned his head and said to Su Ze: "Brother-in-law, my sister said that her butt hurts when riding a horse, can I ride a leopard with you?"
Knowing that Li Jing's personality was not scored, Su Ze didn't say anything, just quietly looked at Li Shasha's back, waiting for her to make a statement. Fortunately, God assisted more than one, as soon as she heard that Li Shasha's buttocks hurt, Qiuqiu, who was sitting on Su Ze's shoulder, couldn't wait to give her VIP seat, and immediately shouted: "Shark, come on, come on, the big cat is comfortable, it's not bumpy at all!"
Hearing Qiuqiu's cry, Li Shasha finally turned around, revealing a small half of her pretty face covered with red clouds. Then she tightened the reins and stopped the horse, and waited until Su Ze, who was riding the ingot, stopped beside her, then stretched out her hands to him and said timidly: "It's too high, you carry me down." โ
Hearing such a request, Su Ze was instantly stunned, but the Chen family brothers next to him were the first to react, and laughed lewdly and coaxed: "Oh yo~ Brother Su, you are very close!"
"Go!" Su Ze blushed and spat Chen Feng, and then mechanically stretched out his hands to support Li Shasha's armpits and hugged her to him.
As the second woman to be hugged by himself after his mother, Su Ze liked this soft and fragrant wonderful feeling from the bottom of his heart, so much so that Li Shasha had already sat down, and he reluctantly withdrew his hands that had nowhere to put them, and then stuffed the lewd balls on his shoulders into her arms, while bluntly changing the topic: "Yuanbao runs fast, you sit firm." โ
The ambiguous interaction between boys and girls will not be repeated here.
By the time the five of them arrived at the pasture with the herdsmen, the sun hanging in the west was faintly red. At this time, the four people except Su Ze were convinced that they had been deceived by the seemingly honest herdsman, and said in their hearts that the poor person must really have something to hate! Dealing with this kind of person who runs the train all year round, it is no wonder that the father and son of the Wang family will push back.
When they saw the other herdsmen and inquired a little about the loss of cattle and sheep, Li Shasha and the others were even more angry - the herdsman kept saying that hundreds of cattle and sheep were lost, but when they asked, they found out that the ranch had only lost a total of twenty-one lambs!
This time, if it weren't for Su Ze's strong persuasion, the Li family brothers and the Chen family brothers would be afraid that they would kill these open-mouthed bastards on the spot!
"It's all here, don't be angry, be obedient. Su Ze gently rubbed Li Shasha's head as he usually does, and then asked the herdsmen: "Tell us, how did the twenty-one sheep goat?"
The herdsmen now also saw who was in charge of the five young people, and hurriedly spit bitter water around Su Ze, causing him to have to shock the audience with ingots and erha, and then gradually asked the ins and outs of the matter.
The loss of the lamb began in the night four days ago.
The herders graze the sheep during the day and drive them back to the fold in the evening, when they count the sheep to prevent them from getting lost. But when they opened the fold the next morning, they found that a lamb was missing from the fence.
At first, they thought that they had missed the number of sheep in the pen on the first day, so they didn't pay much attention to it. But the next morning, when they opened the fold again, they found that they had lost ten lambs in one night!
The loss of ten lambs was a loss that could not be ignored, so the herdsmen sent someone to inform the mayor. But last night they took turns by the sheepfold, but they found nothing, and when they counted the sheepfold again in the morning, they found that ten more lambs had been lost!
In addition to being angry, the five young people were gradually attracted by this strange thing. They first observed the situation around the sheepfold, and then rushed to the pasture where they were grazing, until the sun set, when they sat in the newly built tent for them and analyzed the suspicions of the incident.
"The sheepfold was not broken, no human or animal footprints were left around, and the sheep did not show any panic, as if the whole world knew that the sheep were lost. Chen Feng asked vigilantly: "Could it be that they slaughtered a few lambs to make up for their bodies, and then cheated the subsidy under the guise of losing cattle and sheep?"
Once deceived by someone, ten years afraid of being deceived. Su Ze understood Chen Feng's mood, so without waiting for Li Jing and Chen Jian to agree, he took the lead in shaking his head and said, "I don't think there's any need for them to lie like this." As you said, they could have slaughtered a few lambs in front of the flock, and it was better to scare them into madness, and they could have smashed the sheepfold and sprinkled bowls of blood in it, giving the flock the illusion that the sheep were attacked by wild beasts, but they didn't. Even laymen like us can see the flaws, how dare they deceive those officers and soldiers who often deal with such situations?"
Su Ze could think of it, as smart as Li Shasha, so he naturally thought of it. "In order to shelter their flocks from the wind, the sheepfolds were built against the soil cliffs in the east," she said. The top of the cliff is three or four meters long, and if it is the kind of magical beast that is good at jumping, it is completely possible to jump into the sheepfold from above, and then grab the lamb and jump up. โ
Su Ze positively confirmed Li Shasha's conjecture, "Yuanbao has already gone up to see it, although it didn't see any animal footprints, but it did smell the scent of other animals." โ
"But......" Li Jing scratched his head and asked, "What kind of animal can take away ten little lambs in one breath without disturbing the herdsmen and the sheep?" and there is no blood in the sheepfold, does it mean that it did not eat, but only took the lambs away?"
For these problems of staying away from people, even Li Shasha has no problem. But I heard Su Ze say to himself: "I don't know anything else, but one thing is certain." One was lost on the first night, ten on the second night, and ten more on the third night, suggesting that it was not one animal that stole the sheep, but a herd of animalsโthe first night was just an outpost, and the next two days were the nest. And the beasts are not afraid of shame, they pick on the lambs, not because the lambs taste good, but because their strength cannot take away the big sheep at all. โ
After listening to the above analysis, Qiuqiu asked unhappily: "So, are you talking about a group of animals that are not large, have strong bouncing power, and are best able to be stealth?"
"Who knows?" Su Ze shrugged noncommittally, "Seeing is believing, I'll meet them tonight." โ
