Among the five sons of the old Wang family, the second child Xingchun is thin and short.

From an early age, he showed a keen interest in the crops in the fields and other farm work. When he grew up a little, he didn't like to study literature or practice martial arts. I just like to farm and herd sheep. When he was a little older, the family hired a child to herd sheep, and he began to farm during the day and watch the sheep at night.

At that time, the main purpose of grazing sheep was sheep manure was to be used as a good fertilizer for the crops. In order to make it easier to use sheep dung, at night they make a temporary sheepfold with movable wooden fences at the location closest to their own land. The sheep that have been grazing for a day spend the night in this simple sheepfold. Then a small bed will be placed next to the sheepfold, and the top of the small bed will be made of rattan into a bow, covered with a collar mat, and then covered with linoleum paper, which can not only keep out the wind, but also protect from the rain. This is called the sheep's bed, and it is the bed and house where the people who take care of the sheepfold sleep at night.

Why do you want to take care of the sheep at night?

At that time, the probability of people stealing sheep was relatively small, and most of the role was to prevent wild beasts from invading and eating sheep at night, to put it bluntly, mainly to prevent wolves.

Because wolves are more cunning animals, there is a folk legend and a modern song that says: wolves in sheep's clothing.

Even the wolf classmate can think of such a trick in sheep's clothing, and it is indeed cunning enough.

Xingchun led the helpers to work in the fields for a day during the day, and at night he had to go to the sheepfold next to the sheepfold at the edge of the field to take care of the sheep after a hurried meal. It's good when the weather is good, but it's bad if it's raining or windy nights. Because the sheep are not honest when the weather changes, sometimes they will rush out of the sheepfold with thunder and rain, which is called the sheep running pen. Therefore, when the weather changes, he has to put on his coat, take the whip used for herding the sheep, and while pumping the whip and exploding, he has to look around the sheepfold one by one. Strange to say, only by doing this, no matter how much rain or wind it blows, the sheep will gather together and nest there honestly.

Therefore, the people who herd sheep and take care of sheep all year round do not have a good body, because during the day, they have to follow the sheep to run all over the mountain, and there is a local child Yan saying that ridicules the shepherd: The sheep herder, running all over the mountain, knocking (with falling) a fall diao!

It's not a good thing to follow the mountains of sheep to eat, just eat a few bites of pancakes while herding sheep. When you are thirsty, find a mountain spring to drink a few sips, and over time, the sheep herders will be 100% suffering from spleen, stomach disease, liver disease and other diseases related to the digestive system.

At night, taking care of sheep in the wilderness will be attacked by moisture and cold, and they will be prone to respiratory diseases such as trachea and lungs, as well as rheumatoid rheumatism is also caused by cold and damp.

Fortunately, Xingchun is only taken care of at night, and there is no running around the mountains during the day, and he is still young now, except for occasional back and leg pain, there is nothing wrong with anything else.

The feeling of taking care of the sheep at night is "lonely" in two words, and the other two words are "afraid", and it is false to say that you are not afraid. In the mountains in the wilderness, only the sheep are with their company, so the inner panic and helplessness are known only to the parties themselves.

The fourth sister of Lao Liuxin has four daughters and a son, the son's nickname is Bingbing, because he is the youngest and the only boy in the family, he has been pampered since he was a child, and he is spoiled by his parents and is lawless. No one can control it at home. But the soldier didn't listen to anyone since he was a child, so he listened to his uncle. Leaving a letter to see that the soldiers were willing to listen to their words, they also spoiled him very much, and the things in the shop, the soldiers could eat them if they wanted to, and use them if they wanted, which should be one of the reasons why he didn't want to go home.

Since he was very young, he played with a few cousins at his uncle's house and practiced martial arts together, but he was not a material for martial arts, he just played along. The second uncle Liuzeng also had several cousins, and he didn't like to play with them.

He neither likes to practice martial arts, nor does he like to learn culture, he just likes to brag, brag nonsense, and run trains with his mouth full. Since he was a child, he followed his second cousin Xingchun to the fields. When I grew up, I farmed with me.

During the day, he talked about his eldest cousin Xinglan's encounter with a wolf blocking the way when he rushed to the market early in the morning, and he also imitated the wolf's movements to scare everyone.

Under his wonderful imitation, although it was broad daylight, several people, including Xingchun, still felt a little scared in their hearts.

At the end, the soldiers also specially said to Xingchun: Second cousin, the place where you watch sheep tonight is the famous "wolf slide", the wolf slide, the road that the wolf often walks is called the "wolf slide". You need to be careful at night!

After that, he made a grimace at Xinglan.

Xingchun glared at him fiercely and said: You just don't have good eyes, you are so old and you don't have a shape every day.

After dinner, Xingchun walked to the sheepfold, and at the same time was thinking about what his cousin soldiers said during the day, the place where the sheep were enclosed at night was indeed called "wolf slippery", which was a name passed down from generation to generation. The more I thought about it, the more I muttered in my heart, I felt my little heart pounding, and my scalp was numb for a while.

By the hazy moonlight, in order to give himself courage, he walked and shook the shepherd's whip, throwing out a crisp sound, popping, popping in the empty night.

After all, there were many wolves at that time, and the frequency of wolf activities in the wild at night was still very high, and even during the day, they would often appear in people's field of vision.

When we arrived at the sheepfold, the sky was cloudy and completely obscured the hazy moonlight. I couldn't see my fingers, and it was pitch black everywhere.

Xingchun took out the fire sickle and the fire fold and began to make fire, although the shop at home sells foreign fire, but foreign fire is still a very luxurious item, and then in the wild to see sheep often encounter bad weather, matches are not good to use after being damp.

The fire sickle was made by picking up the fragments of cannonballs and burning them red with fire. At that time, there was a shortage of soldiers, and there was no shortage of some things related to weapons and ammunition. The fire fold is simpler, that is, the sorghum straw is peeled off the outer skin, and the head is usually burned with fire to form a charcoal shape, so that the spark made by the fire sickle and flint only needs to jump to the charcoal position of the fire fold, and at most two or three times can hit the fire, and quickly blow a few times with the mouth after watching the fire. So that you can ignite what to do.

Generally, in the field to take care of sheep, there are mosquitoes in the season to take the mosquito grass rope made of mosquito grass, and in the season when there are no mosquitoes, take the mugwort rope, so that the self-made rope is very slow after ignition, generally equivalent to a length of about 60 cm can be held overnight. If you need to use fire to light the tobacco pouch in the middle, or to light the fire, you don't need to light the sickle again.

Because it is summer, Xingchun took out the mosquito grass rope and lit it, holding the mosquito grass rope in his left hand and the shepherd whip in his right hand.

Xingchun walked for a while, then blew the rope, and then threw the whip. Before the circle around the sheepfold was finished, the sky began to rain, and after walking a few steps and turning around, he began to walk towards the sheep's bed. Put the mosquito straw rope under the sheep's monniery, lift the mat and quickly get into the sheep's monidium and lie down.

Sheep monnieri is a very small bed, stretched into a bow shape with soft wax strips, covered with a mat, and then covered with linoleum paper, all around it is sealed, and there is a small door on one side that can be moved, which can block the wind and protect from the rain.

At this time, the rain had begun to fall heavily, and lying in the small space of the sheep's bed, the raindrops smashed on the linoleum paper with a particularly loud sound, crackling and crackling like a burst of .......

On this terrifying rainy night, the sheep bed was installed in the "wolf chute", Xingchun unconsciously was still thinking about the things that his cousin Bingbing said about wolves during the day, and subconsciously shivered, so he was afraid and panicked, and he didn't know when he fell asleep.

I don't know how long it has been, Xingchun in his sleep was suddenly awakened by the screams of the sheep, he rubbed his eyes and propped up his ears to listen carefully, through the still loud raindrops, he did hear the screams of the sheep and the restless sound of the sheep.

It's bad, I'm really afraid of something!

Xingchun muttered to himself, and got up ...... with a hard face.

If you want to know what kind of thrills you will encounter in the spring, and watch the next time, the next time will be more exciting!
