It is said that animals have spirituality, and this sheep seems to understand human words, so he jumped up and caught up with Mei Sanniang.

The road in the mountain village is not like the big city, turning over one winding hill after another, here are all plains and hills, one mountain is about 100 meters high, and occasionally you can see eagles soaring in the blue sky.

From time to time, a few pheasants will come out of the roadside, but unfortunately people have not approached, these pheasants all fly, and the speed is extremely fast.

She must be back by noon, or the child will starve.

But what she didn't know was that Xue'er had already become impatient, and after Mei Sanniang left the child for a while, the child didn't see her mother and was anxious.

"Grandpa Li, will my mother come back?" The little girl looked at her grandfather aggrievedly, he was afraid that if her mother left, just like his father, she would never come back.

After the mother loaded the food for her father, the father also looked at her with a smile, and then shook his hand and disappeared from her field of vision, and never appeared again.

"Silly girl, your mother will not leave you, you are the flesh and blood of your mother's heart, and you are reluctant."

"How can you think badly? Your mother is just going to change a little lamb! It's not really gone. ”

"Didn't you just say it well? You were there at the time! Let's just wait for your mother to come back. ”

Mei Xue didn't want to think badly, but she had an intuition that told her that her mother would not come back after leaving, and she left with the sheep and all the family property.

"My mother will not leave me!"

Mei Xue looked into the distance, it was an endless stretch of mountains, and her mother was walking into the distance.

Along the way, Mei Sanniang stopped and walked, and she couldn't do it after walking a few kilometers, and she was going to sit down and rest after a while, and the sheep next to her also drank a few sips of water and ate a few handfuls of grass along the river.

"If you're lucky, if there's a lamb in any house, I'll change you, and you won't have to go to the market!"

"If you don't want to be dragged to eat by the people in the bazaar, be smart, find a good man, and exchange you with two little lambs! I can keep you next year! Otherwise, I will redeem you when the time comes, and you will save my family and return to the church!" ”

"I'm a man, and I also know that I know how to repay my kindness, don't blame me for being ruthless, if you are really psychic, find a good person!"

The sheep snorted a few times and shook its head.

"I said you sheep are so stubborn! No wonder you dare to kick even your master! It doesn't seem to have scared you, you're really not afraid! ”

Mei Sanniang nagged a few words, the sheep seemed to be unable to listen to it, turned around and walked in another direction, although this direction is not going back, but this path leads to another village.

Mei Sanniang hurriedly followed, and after a while, she saw wisps of cooking smoke rising up, but she didn't expect to walk for so long, it was almost noon.

It seems that it is indeed a little unexpected, she thought that she could rush back before noon, and she could feed the return hall and cook for Old Man Li by the way.

It seems that the bamboo basket can only be empty, this matter has not been completed, and another thing can only be lost.

"What are you doing that way, sheep?"

Although she could go in this direction to the market, she could not have walked this road in her memory.

The sheep kept moving forward without saying a word, not only was the speed not slow, but Mei Sanniang just happened to be able to keep up.

After walking for a while, the ewe bleated.

Immediately after, another voice came.

Mei Sanniang thought it was an echo, but after listening carefully, it was heard twice, and the voice was exceptionally clear, not like the kind of communication between the valleys, but like another sheep responding.

At this moment, she went down to a house not far away, with wisps of smoke and a man with a whip to drive sheep.

Mei Sanniang walked over with her sheep, it was a little girl with a whip, about 10 years old, who seemed to be driving the sheep into the pen.

"Child, do you have a lamb at home?"

"Don't worry, I'm just asking, I have one sheep here and want to exchange it for two lambs."

The little girl was still a little scared, she looked at Mei Sanniang vigilantly, and only relaxed her vigilance after Mei Sanniang explained her intentions.

"I have a newborn lamb at home."

When Mei Sanniang heard this, she looked at her sheep happily, sure enough, this sheep's desire to survive is still very strong, in the countryside, every family is reluctant to eat sheep by themselves, and will keep it to milk or give a lamb.

"Looks like you're really psychic!"

Mei Sanniang followed the little girl into the house and met her mother under the little girl's introduction.

And the girl's mother noticed the sheep beside her at a glance.

"Milk Fluff."

Mei Sanniang was taken aback, and an unfamiliar name came into mind, and this name belonged to the sheep next to her.

"Milky?"

The woman was very excited to see this sheep, and even Mei Sanniang once suspected that this Wang Ma family's sheep would not be stolen.

Just when she was full of doubts, the woman in front of her finally spoke, "May I ask who you are?" ”

Mei Sanniang subconsciously tightened the rope, for fear that the person in front of her would rob her sheep.

"I just want to exchange this sheep for your two little lambs!"

As soon as she finished saying this, the woman in front of her promised again and again: "Of course you can!" ”

This decisive answer surprised Mei Sanniang, but fortunately, she didn't ask where the sheep came from.

"But I'm only borrowing this sheep temporarily, and I want to redeem it, because I still have unweaned children at home, and I can't bear this sheep."

At this time, the woman hesitated, she frowned, and talked to Mei Sanniang about the price, "Then why do you want to exchange this sheep for two?" Well, I'll give you a little more. ”

Mei Sanniang was a little curious about why this woman was so obsessed with the sheep beside her, and just when she was wondering, several other sheep surrounded her and sniffed around the sheep named Nu Fu.

It seems that this sheep is very familiar with other sheep, which makes Mei Sanniang even more sure of the origin of this sheep.

Otherwise, how could this sheep find its way home?

"It's not anything else, it's that I really need to be fed, my baby hasn't been weaned yet, and I don't have anything to feed."

Women understand women's difficulties best, and nothing is more precious than children.

"Well, if you want to sell it, can you sell it to me then, or can I exchange it for sheep?"

The woman's attachment to this sheep is very strong, she doesn't know what the relationship between this sheep and this woman is, but she can see that this sheep seems to like it very much.

"Of course you can, but now I need two lambs."

Mei Sanniang knew that she couldn't afford to raise two little lambs now, but now she had to replace them, because Wang Ma could regret it at any time.

At least for a short time, everyone else will know that she has sheep.

"Later, I still need to use this sheep to feed my child, if you need it, when my child is weaned, I will take it back and exchange it for your two little lambs, do you think it is feasible?"

Of course the woman is willing, "Big girl, sit in the house quickly!" You can call me Damen. ”

"Big sister, what's your name?"

"Mei Sanniang."

"Sanniang?"

Da Mian called out to his daughter, "Quickly pour water for your Aunt Mei to drink." ”

There are three sheep raised at home, which can be regarded as a small rich family, Mei Sanniang went in and sat down, and found that there was no man in this house, and there would be several men in the family.

Just when Mei Sanniang was looking east and west, Da Mian said: "My man went to the field to farm!" So there's no one at home! ”

At this time, Da Mian talked to Mei Sanniang about the milk fu.

"The name of this sheep you brought is Milky, and you may have to ask why I still recognize it?"

Omin smiled and continued, "My groom has a pinch of black hair on her buttocks. ”

"My other sheep is called Puff, Puff is a stubborn person, never let people touch, let alone let other sheep get close, and my Puff got close to your sheep as soon as she saw it, and I saw the pinch of wool again, and I knew that my milk was back."

At this time, Mei Sanniang asked curiously, "Then why did you sell it again?" ”

Da Mian looked at Mei Sanniang suspiciously, and then Mei Sanniang explained, "I bought this sheep from someone else!" I don't know who sells it! ”

Omian nodded, understood.

"Milk and puffs are the most well-behaved sheep in my family, I raised them both, and they have more or less feelings, and they all say that the animals in the family are used to eat, but I don't think so."

"When my milk was sold, I was still a little distressed and didn't want to sell these two, because my family was not poor to that point, I liked these two sheep the most, and I was the most reluctant to buy and sell, but during that time, my man sold the milk bottle behind my back, and he told me that the milk bottle had been served."

said that a sadness welled up in her heart, although it was a domestic animal, it should be slaughtered and eaten, but she thought that these two ewes could give birth to a lot of lambs What a pity to eat, and how many copies can not be returned after selling, besides, it is inevitable that there will be feelings after staying for a long time.

"Big sister, I have to meet you, otherwise I would have thought that I had already been served on a plate!"

That's what she said, but it's good to be able to eat and drink enough in this poor mountain and remote area, and only she knows in her own heart whether the big face in front of her is talking about people or ghosts.

"It seems that you have a really good relationship with the milkie, and I think those two sheep like to stay together."

"I'll give you two little lambs, and I'll pull them back when the time comes."

Da Mian nodded and agreed with satisfaction, "Yes, of course!" ”

This little lamb was in hand, but on the way back, Mei Sanniang realized that something was wrong.

The little lamb didn't seem to have any strength at all, and its body was like dry firewood, and it could touch the bones with a light touch.

And what is even more infuriating is that she found out halfway that this little lamb seemed to have a skin disease and was hiding in the wool, which she didn't check just now and didn't find it.

Now she can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and first pull the little lamb back to see if she can be cured.
