Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

How long is this period of time?

Zhao Yeqing planned to live there until they learned how to raise sheep at home.

The first thing to do is to find the sheep.

It's possible that the sheep dung they saw was not left by this family's sheep.

But Mu Xi walked out of the house, walked around the house, and said, "It should be from this house."

In addition to some sheep dung around the house, there were also a lot of sheep dung in the sheep pen, and there were sheep hoof prints, which seemed to be from the recent period.

If there were other family members living here besides the bones in the sheepfold, it wouldn't be right to say that the bones should not be burned or buried.

Many elderly people living in rural areas are very particular about returning their fallen leaves to their roots. Even elderly people who are brought to live in the city by their children will ask their children to send their bodies back to their hometown for burial before they die.

Just abandoning the bones in the sheepfold doesn't seem like something a family would do.

"Go out and look for it first. If you find the sheep, you will have the answer."

Zhao Yeqing nodded and put his backpack on his back.

Mu Xi's previous coat was scratched when he fought with hyenas and rolled down the cliff, so he found a clean and slightly whitened thin coat from the owner's closet and put it on his body to block the sun.

Following trails of fallen grass and sheep droppings, the pair discovered some fenced-in areas of the meadow.

At first, I thought they were growing some other crops, but when I got closer, I saw that there was nothing inside except grass that was the same as outside.

If I have to say it, the grass inside is growing more luxuriantly.

The two of them really don’t understand this aspect, and they can only say that they still have a lot to learn.

After searching for half an hour, the sun above my head was not shaded by trees, and it just hit me openly.

Zhao Yeqing is fully armed, with almost no skin exposed on his face. At this time, it's not that he simply doesn't want to get tanned, but that the exposed areas will turn red after a while in the sun, and can be torn off if it takes a little longer. layer of skin.

Suddenly, Guohuo and Xuebing stopped, as if they had discovered the scent of some strange animal. They stopped and raised their tails, which was its defensive posture.

Unlike when they met sheep, Guo Mu and Xue Ping never felt like this when they met rabbits and other animals.

Could it be that there are some ferocious beasts?

Zhao Yeqing wanted to curse. What kind of human suffering is this?

But the two leopards didn't have any hair on their tails, and they didn't look like they were in the same state as when they encountered wild boars and hyenas.

She pulled Mu Xi's sleeve, "What should I do?"

Mu Xi did not move, just stood there and tilted his ears, "Listen."

Zhao Yeqing had some ringing in his ears due to the heat. He swallowed a few times before suppressing the ringing in his ears.

It seemed like... I heard a dog barking?

Not sure, let's listen again...

After a while, two clear dog barks sounded.

"Wang Wang!"

Zhao Yeqing and Mu Xi looked up at the hilltop two hundred meters ahead. They saw a group of sheep running out from behind the mountain. They were not running in panic, but running forward neatly.

Like someone is shepherding sheep in the back?

After all the sheep ran down the hill, Zhao Yeqing saw a large yellow-haired dog emerging over the hill. Against the light, its fur looked golden.

There was only one dog and no one behind him.

The dog was a little thin. When he saw the two people standing at the col, he stood there and barked twice.

A bit fierce.

When he saw the leopard stepping out behind him again, he felt more than a little fierce.

The dog let out a low whine in its throat, followed by several loud barks, as if it was trying to scare away a few people.

The sheep were a little panicked when they heard the dog's shouting. After the dog finished barking, he ran to the side of the sheep and drove the sheep that were running around in panic back to the sheep.

Sheep are very timid animals by nature, and the two of them did not dare to move forward for fear of scaring the sheep into scattering.

The two of them retreated to the back of another hill with their two cubs.

When the dog saw that the person was gone, he drove the sheep back.

The two of them followed from a distance and found that the dog was going back to the house of the previous family.

What happened next was an unexpected scene.

The dog drove the sheep back to the sheepfold, then stood up, closed the door of the sheepfold, and locked the latch.

Ah this...

Zhao Yeqing came back to his senses, "This dog...could it be that after his master passed away, he would continue to guard the sheep for him..."

Mu Xi hummed in a deep voice, "That should be it."

They did not come near, but watched from a distance as the dog closed the sheep, then pointed at the white skeleton leaning outside the sheepfold, wagging its tail and barking happily.

It seemed to be telling its deceased owner that it had successfully completed its mission again today.

Then he turned around and walked into the room next to the sheepfold.

Zhao Yeqing sniffed and raised his head high.

But its owner can no longer respond to it by touching its head.

She calmed down, her nose was still a little blocked, and she said in a loud voice: "Then are we still going?"

"Let's try it." Mu Xi thought about the dog that never came out after entering the house. "That dog is obviously too thin. He probably doesn't eat enough. If he continues like this, something will happen."

Hearing this, Zhao Yeqing nodded quickly, "Then let's go quickly."

The two of them approached, but before they reached the door, the dog in the house rushed out, baring its teeth and barking at the two of them.

"How can you get close to someone so fierce?"

Zhao Yeqing didn't dare to move forward, Mu Xi took two steps forward and blocked her behind him.

The dog's mood miraculously eased a bit when Mu Xi walked up to him. Although he was still standing at the door blocking the door, he didn't bark like before.

Zhao Yeqing opened his eyes wide, "Do you still have this ability?"

Mu Xi didn't expect it either. He was stunned for a second and then looked down and realized.

"It's this dress."

These were the clothes he took from the owner's closet. The dog probably let down his guard a little after smelling the smell.

A simple fence was built with wood outside the house. Mu Xi squatted down and slowly approached, making a "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" sound in his mouth.

The dog seemed to have not heard this kind of sound for a long time, and it still smelled like its owner. It couldn't help but wag its tail gently.

Mu Xi put his hand in from outside the fence, pretending to stroke its head.

Zhao Yeqing's heart was lifted, and his hands were always ready to pull the dog back if it pounced on him and bit him.

The dog didn't come forward, but it didn't want to bite him either. It just stood still.

Mu Xi took a pork can from his backpack, opened it, and handed it over.

The dog's nose moved and he turned his head away.

Mu Xi turned around and pulled Guobao over, dug out a piece and fed it to him, and then handed the rest of the can to Gouzi.

This time the dog moved, came over, lowered his head, picked up the can and took a bite.

As soon as Guodu took a bite, he was pulled away, licking his mouth in confusion.
