I looked closely at the flock of things, frowned, and they did indeed look like sheep.

However, they were somewhat different from the sheep I had seen in the city back then.

Because their horns are exceptionally long and very sharp.

I never imagined that there would be wild goats in this place.

However, after the initial surprise, they immediately began to feel joy, just like Wang Ping.

If wild goats can be found in this place, their value is far greater than that of those short-legged birds!

Firstly, the meat of these wild goats must be extremely delicious; killing just one wild goat would be enough for us to eat for more than half a month.

Secondly, wild goat fur is very soft. If Liu Jiaojiao's child is indeed born in winter, then the wild goat fur can be made into quilts and clothes, thus solving the child's and Liu Jiaojiao's heating problems.

Most importantly, wild goats can produce milk.

Goat milk is very nutritious. If we take good care of these wild goats, we can raise them just like we used to train those short-legged birds. This will greatly improve our quality of life.

But these wild goats must be very agile. Wang Ping and I only have guns and kitchen knives with us. We don't have ropes or nets, so it will obviously be difficult to catch them.

Wang Ping had obviously thought of these things as well, and after his initial joy, his expression turned somewhat anxious.

"I think if we release these wild goats today, it will be even harder to catch them again. But do we have any good ideas?"

I shook my head, because I was also thinking about what method to use.

Living on such a dangerous deserted island, it's easy to imagine that these creatures would be far more agile and adept at escaping than the domesticated sheep we see in the city. We don't have the tools to catch them right now, so it would be very difficult.

After thinking it over, I suddenly patted Wang Ping and whispered, "I think these goats probably eat fruit as well as grass. I think we should slowly back out first. Maybe they heard the noise and know there are people in the orchard, which is why they haven't come. But if we're not here, with so many ripe fruits falling from the trees, I don't believe these goats can resist coming. They won't come if they're not hungry. Go back and find Chen Jian. Tell him to bring all the vine nets we used before and the ropes we got from the foreigners. If we can catch one or two, it will be a pleasant surprise."

Wang Ping listened, nodded, and was about to leave when he turned back and stopped.

"But can you manage to stay here all by yourself?"

"It's alright. If there's any large, ferocious beast, it will prey on the sheep first, not me. Besides, I'm pretty good at climbing trees. If there really is a large beast, I can hold out for a while while hiding in the tree. Just be quick and come back soon."

Wang Ping nodded and immediately turned and left the orchard.

I carefully retreated from the meadow, found a relatively tall fruit tree, climbed up, and squatted on a branch, not daring to make a sound, carefully observing the wild goats.

They started by grazing, occasionally raising their heads as if observing their surroundings.

Of course I knew that this kind of thing was very wary, so I didn't dare to move at all and just quietly observed the movements around me.

Not long after, the wild goats indeed crossed the grove of low trees and ran into the fruit patch. They happily picked up the ripe fruit that had fallen from the trees and ate it on the ground.

My excitement grew even stronger. If we could really capture these wild goats and bring them back, then we could have goat milk to drink, which would be a blessing from heaven for us.

After eating for a while, the sheep seemed to have eaten their fill and were about to leave, but Wang Ping had not returned. I didn't know if he hadn't found Chen Jian or if they hadn't found the vine nets.

Because at that time Chen Jian said they were going to go to the shrubbery to catch short-legged birds and jicama...

I was getting anxious, but even if I jumped down now, I probably wouldn't catch these sheep. Instead, it would only scare them away and make them run even faster.

Just when I didn't know what to do next, two gunshots suddenly rang out from another grove of trees some distance away, startling a large flock of birds into flight.

The wild goats that had been leisurely munching on fruit in my yard were startled for a moment, then quickly ran out of the woods and disappeared.

I cried out in my heart, "What the hell is that firing guns over there?"

These wild goats startled me and I couldn't catch them, damn it!

But then I suddenly remembered that when we went to find Yang Rui and his group, I told the foreigners that if they encountered any danger, they should fire their guns into the air, and if we heard them, we would rush to their aid immediately.

I was absolutely certain that I heard those two gunshots, but the direction of the gunshots wasn't from the foreigners' camp. Could there be someone else in that grove of trees?

Seeing that the wild goats had already run away, I knew that even if I chased after them, I couldn't outrun their four legs, which immediately aroused a lot of doubt in my mind.

I really wanted to go to that grove of trees, but Wang Ping would be coming back to find me soon, and he would inevitably panic if I wasn't there.

After thinking it over, I used the wooden basket and cart we brought to create an open space, and left a message for Wang Ping on the sand in the open space.

"I'm going to check out the woods ahead. I'll be right back. Don't wander off when you get here. Wait for me."

After writing these messages, I quickly got up and ran towards the direction where the gunshot had just been heard.

By the time I got there, I was covered in sweat. I didn't know if there was any danger in the woods, so I cautiously cocked my pistol and slowly crept into the woods. But I found that the woods were now quiet.

I hid to the side and observed for a long time, but there was no sound. After hesitating for a moment, I took a few more steps inside.

After walking for about ten meters, I suddenly found a large camouflage backpack on a patch of grass. The backpack was bulging, obviously containing a lot of things, but there was no one around, and there was a large pool of blood on the ground. Obviously, there had just been a gunfight here, and there must have been casualties.
