When Shao Xuan and the others went to the grassland, the grassland, the Feng tribe, and Lao Hao went to a low mountain on the border of the Feng tribe every day to wait. (Read the latest chapter for the first time)

According to the agreement between him and the others, the people of the grassland should leave from this side at that time, but one day passes, two days passes...... Five days passed, and Lao Hao didn't see the shadow of those people.

On the tenth day, Lao Hao didn't let his wife and grandson wait here with him, and he notified them when he saw someone. The old lady is old, and she is not a tourist from the Yanjiao tribe, and her health is not as good as her old age. Ten-year-old Anai was called to help watch the sheep so they could get some food in return. After all, no one knows how many more days they will have to wait before leaving.

Lao Hao knew that the grassland was very large, and it would take time to come, so he was still waiting with peace of mind at first, but on the fifteenth day, Lao Hao was really anxious. He was worried that the team would forget him, after all, there were three of them here, and there were two old ones and a small one, could it be that they were disgusted and troublesome?

Lao Yao couldn't help but start thinking crankily.

The tourists of the grassland are also divided into several groups, and it is naturally impossible for them all to take the same road, and the person contacted by Lao Hao did decide to go this way, but fifteen days have passed, and he has not even seen a figure, is it deliberate, or is he in trouble?

If it is the former, Lao Hao will leave with his family, he knows that there are only three of them, the road is long, and there is little luck, but he is willing to take risks. However, Lao Yao still believes in the latter situation, and the people he understands will not abandon his clansmen lightly, but if he is in trouble...... I heard that there was a war on the other side of the mountain, and if you encounter it, you may be implicated. Thinking of this, Lao Hao was even more worried, he would rather others forget about their family of three, rather than others being implicated in the war, once involved in the war, they would be killed.

It is rare that the indifferent temperament cultivated over the years has become impatient, and Lao Hao still insists on bringing food to the mountains early every morning. Wait until sunset.

When Lao Hao Mountain, Lao Hao's grandson Anai, who is ten years old this year, was helping the Gua Er family guard the sheep. The keeper of the flock added to him five, and there were only three before. Sometimes they can keep an eye on the family, but recently the tribe has always lost sheep, sometimes there are cattle or horses, and the livestock is uncertain, and most of the lost are the young ones.

The patrol team patrols day and night. There are still cases of losing livestock, sometimes this family, sometimes that family, for more than ten days.

Some people say that they saw wolves moving around, or maybe they were some cunning and fast-moving wolves. There was a war between tribes on the other side of the mountain, so the wild beasts in the vicinity also moved around to take refuge, and some of them crossed the mountain range and came here. Therefore, the patrol team has increased its manpower in the past few days to pay attention to the traces of the wolves.

Gua Er has recently wilted, his favorite calf is gone, I thought about carefully raising a few friends next door to fight bulls, but I don't want to, the day before yesterday morning together, go to the cattle pen to see, the cow is gone. He didn't want to stay with his friends for the past two days. Finally, a newborn calf was prepared, and even the best pasture was ready, but it was gone.

"Anai. When did the wolf come in and take the calf?" asked Gua Er, bored.

"I don't know," after a pause, Anai added, "I think." Not a wolf. ”

In the past two years, because Gua Er promised Shao Xuan to take care of Lao Hao's family, his attitude towards Anai was better, and he didn't let Anai join their small group, but he didn't feel sad, sometimes Anai was bullied by others. Gua Er also went to solve the siege, so Anai and Gua Er talked a lot.

"I don't think so, it could be foxes, eagles or something, there are a lot of animals that steal livestock in the grassland, and they like to steal their cubs. Saying that, Gua Er's face showed ruthlessness, and he took out a bone knife and slashed it in the air, "If I knew who stole it, I would have cut it!"

After saying a few cruel words, seeing that no one was cheering, Gua Er turned his head and found that Anai didn't listen to him at all, and was looking left and right.

"Hey, did you hear what I just said!" said Guaer.

Anai didn't answer this, but asked, "Did you just hear anything?"

"What's the sound?" Gua Er thought Anai was making excuses.

"Yes......" Anai thought about it, but couldn't describe it. Ignoring Guaer's complaints, he stood up and looked at the sheep grazing not far away.

However, Anai didn't want to pay attention to it, but Gua Er couldn't stop talking and continued to talk.

"Hey, I heard that you are leaving, when are you leaving? Where are you going? Can you see Shao Xuan again? If you see him again, you ask him to help me carve another wolf wood carving, and I will exchange it for cattle and sheep. My father took away the wood carving before, and he didn't let me touch it. Gua Er said to herself.

"Melon!" Anai said suddenly.

"What?"

"One sheep has been lost!" said Anai.

Hearing this, Gua Er hurriedly got up, stood on a wooden stool next to him, looked at the sheep, and counted. There are not many sheep in his family now, and the livestock he has lost recently are all cubs, so Gua Er directly counted the number of young sheep.

"You didn't lose it, you counted it wrong, you didn't lose a single lamb. Gua Er put his mind at ease and said.

When Gua Er was about to laugh at Anai for not being able to count, he heard Anai say, "It's not a lamb, it's a big one!"

"Impossible!" Gua Er counted in disbelief, although he usually likes to play, but he also remembers the number of livestock he raises clearly, how many are consumed every day, how many are born, and he knows it.

When I finished counting, there was indeed one missing.

There were four people staring at the other places, although they didn't stare at the sheep, but at other places, but as long as they made sure that the sheep didn't run away. Gua ran over and asked the four men, but none of them saw the sheep leave the flock.

Everyone is here, and I haven't seen wolves, foxes, or anything like that, is it an eagle?

Looking up at the sky, I didn't see a single bird, even if the eagle came down to catch the sheep, it would definitely make some movement, but on the contrary, Gua Er didn't hear it.

"Hey, Guaer, what are you looking for?" a little girl from Guaer's neighbor's house who was about his age walked over.

"What's the matter with you?!" Gua Er was in a hurry now, and his tone was not good.

Knowing Gua's temper, Doya didn't plan to ask him, but turned to ask Anai next to him.

Anai had a good impression of Doya, so she told me what had just happened.

Knowing what happened, Doya also lost the mind to find Gua Er to go to the horse race, her family lost a sheep yesterday, not too small, not too big.

"What are you going to do?" Doya asked.

"Guaer, go and talk to your father. If your mother is at home, it's okay to tell your mother. Anai persuaded.

"No, I'll look for it first!" Gua Er didn't want to go to his father who was patrolling now, and he didn't want to wake up his sleeping mother. A-Niang still has a little brother or little sister in her belly, and she needs to rest. Moreover, he hoped to find some clues and then tell the adults.

"I'll go too!" Doya flicked her whip and rolled up her sleeves and followed.

Anai looked around. I said hello to the nearest sheep watcher, and chased Doya and Anai over.

The people who watched the sheep didn't care, the children of the tribe ran around all day and didn't see anything, and there were patrols at the border watching, and they weren't worried.

While Anai and Gua Er were looking for the missing sheep, Lao Hao, who was standing on the low mountain, finally saw a team. The person who started the first was the one who contacted him.

The overjoyed old man hurriedly ran over, but found that the people in the team were extremely tired and had many injuries. There were two seriously injured people in the team, and I didn't know how many days I would last.

They had a war on the other side of the mountains. However, I am lucky to be able to make it here alive.

Originally, the team of thirty-two people, because of the scuffle between the tribes on the other side of the mountain, three of them could not follow here, and as for the two seriously injured in the team, if they couldn't survive, it would be five.

This team of tourists has always walked at the junction of the tribes. Even if it is seen by the patrol, as long as it is not the kind of person who loves to kill, it will generally be fine. Lao Hao wants to bring people to his house, but now he is in a sensitive period. The people of the Feng tribe would not let suspicious people enter the tribe, so Lao Hao ran back and brought some herbs over to use for the injured people.

"I've also brought some food, so you can put it on first. Lao Hao handed over the half leg of mutton in his hand, so much. It's definitely not enough for these people to eat, but there is food anyway, and it's good to roast everyone and take a bite.

Just as he was talking about the situation in the team, a patrol team of the Feng tribe rode over quickly, and the one who ran at the front was Gua's father.

"Lao Hao, have you seen them?" the other party was so anxious that he was sweating.

"No, what's wrong?" Lao Hao had a bad premonition, and he trembled when he spoke.

"I lost a sheep at home, and that boy didn't even tell us, and went straight to find Anai and Doya!

Lao Hao's legs are weak, and he has a child left in his family, if something happens......

"Find, find...... Find it, I'll look for it too!" said Lao Hao, trembling his lips.

The patrol looked at the nearly thirty blood-soaked tourists in front of them and asked, "You have come from the other side of the mountain, have you noticed anything unusual, such as wolves and other wild beasts?" ”

"There are wolves, foxes, and ...... Ah!" said the man who spoke, with a look of horror on his face, "and a big worm, I heard that they used to sleep around the mountains, and they were awakened by the war over there, and they came out to eat quite a few people, and one of our team was dragged into the field by them. I don't know if they came. ”

"Bugs, stone worms?" the other asked.

"It's not stone worms, they have fangs, some flattened, they have a lot of legs, they don't leave holes where they have drilled, they will block them with earth, we have been digging for a long ......time," the speaker cried, and they all went to dig when they saw their companions being dragged into the ground, but their speed was not at all the speed at which insects burrowed into the ground, and only the soil was dug out.

Bugs that burrow into the ground and move without leaving holes?!

The people of the patrol were startled, looked at each other, and saw the suspicion in each other's eyes.

The livestock lost in the tribe may not be wolves or other beasts of prey on land or in the sky, but a threat from the underground! )xh118
