[Shan Hai Jing] Shuangjie Purchasing Agent

When Lin Shao was on Xihuang Mountain, he seriously asked Gu Diao to take him to meet the Jufu clan and Luoluo clan who lived there now. They have all heard of him, but Lin Shao didn't tell them the requirements of the sick sheep, so as not to make them worry for nothing. He just politely gave some meeting gifts, and learned about the current living conditions of the two tribes by the way.

However, there is indeed no place for the sick sheep to live on Xihuang Mountain.

After returning from Xihuang Mountain, Lin Shao's mood became even more depressed.

Before, he was troubled by not knowing what the target of the task wanted, but this time he clearly knew what the patient wanted, but he didn't know what he should do.

Now that he returned to Xunshan, he didn't immediately tell the Yang family the news.If you just tell them like this, it would be too disappointing for them.

After much deliberation, Lin Shao found the little Taotie playing with his father there.

Little Taotie saw him coming, so he stopped playing high, ran over and took Lin Shao's hand, and asked him, "Did the task of suffering the sheep go well?"

"I don't know how to say it," Lin Shao hugged the soft little fat man tightly, "But I didn't forget you, I ordered two pots of candied dates and chestnut cakes for you, and I brought you something to eat by the way. Talk to me."

"Okay!"

When Lin Shao didn’t get a translator before, he had no choice but to chat with Xiao Taotie. Unexpectedly, he got used to it after chatting. Whenever he had something unclear, he would chat with Xiao Taotie. Although this kid can only Eat, but sometimes he can say a few thoughtful words, not to mention that Lin Shao doesn't need him to say more, just listen to it. Sometimes he just wants to vomit bitter water. I forgot about it in two days, and at that time I still came to hug him for the sake of food.

Seeing Lin Shao's answer, the little Taotie also seemed to feel that he was not in a good mood, so he took the initiative to nest in Lin Shao's arms, slowly cut up chestnut cakes to eat, and did not forget to stretch out his chubby hand to feed Lin Shao a piece.

On the other hand, Taotie asked, "What's wrong with the suffering sheep?"

Lin Shao sighed, and told his story of the day.

"It's normal to want to go back to my hometown," Taotie commented, "but I didn't oppress them. They can't grab food in Xunshan, and I don't care about the rest."

"Of course I know." Lin Shao said, "Most of the affected sheep are grateful to Tao Tie and have no resentment at all. I try my best to feel their feelings, probably an indelible anxiety."

Not daring to do anything, but at the same time feel that doing nothing is right, so really, there is nothing to do, this is the "boredom" of the sheep family, or despair.

The sufferer family also wanted to change all this, so they transferred all this to the yearning for Xihuang Mountain, and always felt that it would be good to leave Xunshan and return to their original place of residence.

But this way is also not working.

After Taotie finished listening, he stuck out his tongue and licked his exposed teeth, then shook his head, expressing that he couldn't understand the mood of the Yang family.

"I don't understand," it said, "but the food you brought is not bad."

Little Taotie loves sweets, but his father is not picky eater, he will eat anything, so Lin Shao brings a little of everything.

"Speaking of which, I owed you a favor before." Taotie said, "I might not be able to show you the way this time, anyway, you can't help it, why don't you try my way."

"Ah? What way?"

Taotie glanced at him and said, "Come with me, I'll take you to a place, and you'll know."

Lin Shao went with Taotie, and did not give a clear answer to the affected sheep family for ten days. He only came once and told them the current situation of Xihuang Mountain, and it was difficult to move back.

"I know," the patriarch of Yangyang looked sad, "Because I was worried, I asked about the situation in Wushuo a long time ago, and it told me. If Xihuang Mountain is empty, I will take the whole clan to trek through mountains and rivers. I went back because it was difficult, and I thought the envoy would find a way."

Lin Shao replied, "I'm working hard."

The patriarch of the suffering sheep sighed, and comforted him in turn: "If it doesn't work, forget it, the envoy can go and do other things, my clan... just forget it."

The days passed like this day by day, and soon, the task time came to the last day.

Today Lin Shao went up the mountain early in the morning, and the patriarch of the affected sheep got used to seeing him coming, and asked, "Is there any progress today?"

He nodded for the first time and said, "Can you come with me? I have a gift that I have been preparing for a long time, and I want to give it to the sheep family."

One by one, the affected sheep gathered together following the cry of the leader of the affected sheep, and walked in the direction pointed by Lin Shao.

"I've lived in Xunshan for so long, but I don't even dare to say that I understand the whole Xunshan. My family's activities are very small, usually in places where there are no fruits growing, and I don't go out often," said the patriarch of Yangyang. Walking along the forest, and when he was far away, he said with emotion, "I don't know the road here. If I hadn't followed you, I might have lost my way."

Lin Shao didn't respond after hearing this, but just curled up his mouth and smiled.

Several streams in Xunshan flowed down and merged into a river at the foot of the other side of the mountain. Lin Shao remembered that this river was called Xunshui in the system introduction.The Xunshui River in this section of the river is wide, and you can see an island in the middle of the river. The island is long and thin, probably formed slowly by the sediment accumulation in the river.

"Come with me."

Lin Shao led the Yangyang family through the road leading to the small island in the middle of the river. The head of the Yangyang clan looked at the road under his feet and felt that the road did not form naturally.

"It was done for me by Taotie," Lin Shao explained, "Because the river has dry seasons and high water seasons, the road is slightly higher on the ground, but don't worry about the island, Taotie told me that the terrain there is slightly higher. High, no matter how high the water level is, it will not be submerged much."

"Taotie?"

Hearing these words, the patriarch of the affected sheep stopped raising his steps.

"Yes."

Little Taotie is fine, he doesn't understand anything at a young age, and his original body size is still within acceptable limits. He sometimes plays with the Yang family when he is bouncing around in Xunshan, but the grown-up Taotie, It is impossible for the suffering sheep to say that they are not afraid. If they are not afraid, how can they be so cautious for so many years.

Lin Shao saw that he had already arrived at the place, so he stopped playing tricks with them, and confessed all the things he had been busy with for the past ten days.

"I'm sorry, it's not that I can't let everyone go back to the West Emperor Mountain, but I can't. No matter if I think from the perspective of Jufu and Luo Luo who already live there, it's also for the suffering of the sheep family." Lin Shao said, "So After knowing all this, I can only think of other ways. Naturally, I can’t do so much by myself. It is Taotie who helped me. He gave me the small island of Xunshui and helped me pave the way here. .

It turned out that there were only some weeds and shrubs on this island. I tidied up the road these days, and then went to Xihuang Mountain. With the consent of the ethnic groups there, I moved some trees. They told me that these Trees are easier to live. I’m sorry that some old trees are not easy to move here, so I moved these saplings. It looks small, but this kind of tree grows fast, and it will flourish in a short time. It will look like Xihuangshan look.I wanted to show it to you earlier, but it was much more troublesome than I imagined to tidy up the place, so I hurried and finished it yesterday. "

After listening to his long speech, the suffering sheep stayed for a long time.It wasn't until a while later that the Patriarch of the Afflicted Sheep said blankly: "So... the messenger means that he wants to give this island to us?"

"Yes," Lin Zhi nodded, "Not only this island, but also the woods next to this river are given to you. Since the trees over there do not produce fruit, I will give you everything. It was given by Tao Tie , He gave you this piece, and asked me to bring you a sentence by the way."

"What?"

"After Taotie is separated from the affected sheep family, the water in the well will not interfere with the water in the river."

This sentence was succinct but not polite. After hearing this, the patriarch of the suffering sheep did not get angry at all.

It bowed its head towards the forest, and the whole sheep herd also lowered their heads following the movement of the patriarch.

"Please also ask the envoy to bring us a sentence, can you?"

"OK."

The sheep patriarch was silent for a while, and then said: "Thank you. Thank you for the protection of the Taotie clan for so many years, even if you didn't take the initiative. However, the meaning to my clan cannot be summed up by a word of thanks. If it weren't for the fact that I could live in Xunshan , now the suffering sheep family has long since ceased to exist. The original kindness can no longer be repaid, and everything now is an indescribable thank you, so... thank you."

When Lin Shao relayed this sentence to Taotie, he just said two words before being interrupted by Taotie.

"Okay, okay, it must be a lot of mess, don't talk about it, I don't want to hear it," Taotie turned his head away, "I know what's behind it at the beginning, it doesn't make sense. The suffering sheep family is like this, I see anyway I'm not used to their temperament. Besides, I didn't want to help them so I put in so much effort to do this, otherwise I would care about the mess in their minds, worry and fear, and it's not because they want to return your favor, so thank you for those sheep If so, leave it to yourself.”

"That's not necessary. Later, I brought them to familiarize themselves with the environment over there. I collected a whole bunch of words like this all morning, and I can't add this one sentence." Lin Shao sat on the haystack at one side, smiled, and continued, "Damn it. Sheep are sensitive, and I don’t tell them anything about these things. In fact, their obsession has long since ceased to be in Xihuang Mountain, as long as they really have a home that belongs only to them, everything will be fine.”

The Zheyang family has never had a fixed residence in Xunshan, so the appearance of the group that Lin Shao saw before was so simple, because this is the site of Taotie, not theirs, and I don’t know when Taotie will come to find food nearby At that time, the Yang family would move out without saying anything, saying that they lived in Xunshan, which was no different from living in no fixed place.

This kind of life cannot be without fear. In fact, the suffering sheep family does not necessarily have to return to West Huangshan, they just hope to return to the time when they have a place that truly belongs to them.
