Chapter 110 Life Forbidden Zone 09
As the sky gradually darkened, everyone followed the flock forward with different moods.
However, the sheep were not so human-like and could not feel their complicated emotions. When they passed a meadow halfway, they stopped one after another, bleating, and calling their friends to have more food.
Ren Xiayang was stronger, so he stepped forward first, wanting to pull the leader forward, and then lead the other lambs to follow.
Unexpectedly, the leading antelope looked docile, but actually had a bad temper. It flicked its horns and kicked with its hooves, almost leaving him with injuries all over his body.
"hiss--"
Ren Xiayang retreated, covering his shoulder.
"You're really strong."
Fu Bo glanced at the sky. "The sun's about to set, and the sheep are still lingering here. They don't seem to have any rules or habits. Could it be that there aren't any people keeping them?"
Zeng Pei thought it made sense and nodded.
No matter what, the fact that ancient Earth was uninhabited can almost be considered common sense in the interstellar age. Even if Jiang Ran's analysis makes sense, everyone will still subconsciously doubt it.
“This is also hard for me to believe.”
Jiang Ran changed the subject, "But none of us can confirm this hypothesis based on analysis alone. Only by following the sheep back to their habitat and seeing it with our own eyes can we truly confirm it."
Fu Bo scratched his head: "But the sheep won't leave. What should I do?"
Jiang Ran didn't say anything, just concentrated on recalling.
After a moment, she took a deep breath and blew a long whistle.
Almost at the moment the whistle sounded, the sheep that were slowly grazing raised their heads, followed the leader in an orderly manner, and then continued to move forward in the previous direction.
I don’t know if it was because it was getting dark or because of the influence of the whistle, but the sheep moved much faster than before.
"Wow!" Fu Bo shouted in surprise.
"What is this?" Ren Xiayang asked.
Jiang Ran said, "It's the sound of a herdsman's whistle herding sheep."
"That's amazing! Can you teach me?"
Jiang Ran quickened his pace and waved to them with his back to them: "Catch up with the sheep first. If you lose them, I can't teach you how to whistle to drive away sheep. I can only teach you how to drive away people."
Her voice was a little deep and full of threat. Everyone immediately stopped in their tracks and their hurried steps quickened.
After jogging for a long time and catching up with the flock, everyone had the energy to think about other things.
Fu Bo was not in a hurry to ask Jiang Ran to teach him. Instead, he was more curious about her: "How come you can even herd sheep?"
Jiang Ran thought for a moment and asked, "Why can't you even herd sheep?"
Fu Bo: "...I don't need to herd sheep, so of course I won't learn this."
"That's right," Jiang Ran gave a thumbs up without even looking back, "So of course I learned it because I had to."
Fu Bo: “…”
This is not the same as not saying anything.
After all, everyone was not stupid. Seeing that Jiang Ran was avoiding the main point and talking about other things, and obviously unwilling to talk about this topic, no one asked any further questions.
Xu Yang didn't say anything, but just looked at Jiang Ran for a few more seconds and found that her expression was not as relaxed as her tone.
Herding sheep?
Whistle?
Ancient Earth...
Xu Yang's thoughts were soon interrupted because the sheep suddenly slowed down and finally stopped in front of a small woods.
"Hey, why aren't you moving again?"
"You were eating grass just now, are you going to eat leaves now?"
“Do sheep eat leaves?”
"How should I know?"
Ren Xiayang and Fu Bo started to chatter and argue. Zeng Pei ignored them and turned to look at Jiang Ran: "Can you blow that whistle again?"
Jiang Ran: "Of course you can, but..."
As she spoke, she walked quickly forward and pulled out a little boy from behind a tree in the blink of an eye.
"The sheep stopped this time not to eat." Jiang Ran finished his words slowly.
The sight of living humans standing before our eyes completely overturned everyone's inherent perception that the ancient Earth was uninhabited.
Fu Bo and Ren Xiayang, who were arguing non-stop, suddenly stopped talking and looked over here with wide eyes.
"Fuck!"
"Is there really someone there?"
"Is this a living person?"
“…”
Everyone looked at the boy's clothes and appearance as if he were a rare animal, and rushed to get close to him.
Perhaps frightened by their naked gazes, the boy's already frightened face became even paler. He tried his best to shake off Jiang Ran's hand that was grabbing his collar, and ran back to hide behind the tree in two steps, as if as long as he was blocked by the tree, these strange people would not be able to see him.
Fu Bo and Ren Xiayang had no self-awareness and condemned Jiang Ran with their eyes: You are too rude! Look how scared you are to the child!
Jiang Ran was almost laughing out of anger, and glared back: Control your gaze first!
After scaring the child once and learning a lesson, everyone soon learned their lesson.
They tried hard to control their curiosity, put on a gentle and kind smile, and approached and asked, "Little boy, what's your name?"
However, the child was very disrespectful. He shrank his neck and moved behind the tree.
Fu Bo and Ren Xiayang continued their efforts and tried many other ways to strike up a conversation, but they were unsuccessful in getting the little boy to let down his guard.
Zeng Pei was open-minded. Since it was useless to chat with people, he took the little wolf forward and wanted to try socializing with small animals.
After all, wolves are ferocious beasts. When the little boy first saw the wolf, he thought these people wanted to let the wolf eat him. He was so scared that his face turned pale, his whole body became limp, and he couldn't move.
However, the little wolf was young after all, not big in size, and even had short hair, so it didn't look very lethal. So after a while, the little boy's trembling body slowly stabilized.
The little wolf was very smart. He slowly wagged his tail and then slowly raised his front paws.
The little boy didn't react at first. After the little wolf tilted its head, he took a half step forward and tentatively put his hand on it.
He was very cautious, pursing his lips and moving carefully, as if he was ready to pull his hand back at any time if the little wolf made any other move.
However, for a long time, the little wolf did not move.
The little boy became a little braver and gently pinched the wolf cub's paw, with a look of curiosity on his face.
"Hello, little friend."
Zeng Pei seized the opportunity to squat down, his eyes level with his own: "Its name is Xiao Hei, do you like it?"
The little boy opened his lips slightly, but still said nothing.
Zeng Pei continued, "Can we get to know each other? My name is Zeng Pei. Shake my hand and I'll let Xiao Hei play with you."
The little boy's expression relaxed a little.
Seeing that success was imminent, Ren Xiayang and Fu Bo looked at Zeng Pei with admiration.
The next second, the little boy finally spoke: "@*&**%#?..."
Everyone:"……?"
No one responded. The little boy was a little anxious. He gestured and spoke a long string of gibberish, leaving everyone confused.
Fu Bo's eyes were blank: "This is..."
"What?" Ren Xiayang continued.
Zeng Pei reacted quickly and turned around to ask, "Did the production team bring a universal translator?"
Xu Yang shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Who would have thought there are still people on Earth... We don't need translators in normal competitions."
When he was at a loss, Jiang Ran took a step forward.
In a blink of an eye, strings of incomprehensible syllables came out of her mouth.
Fu Bo sighed: "This is not the common language of the Federation. He won't understand you even if you speak it casually."
As soon as he finished speaking, the little boy looked at Jiang Ran with bright eyes, and said a string of words that no one else could understand.
Soon, Jiang Ran and the little boy started talking back and forth.
Fu Bo looked bewildered: "They can't understand each other but are trying to pretend to understand? It can't be that serious..."
"It seems..." Ren Xiayang hesitated, "No?"
This back and forth, there is a response...
It seemed like a normal conversation.
As everyone was confused and speculating, Jiang Ran said something again, and the little boy's expression, which had calmed down, suddenly became terrified again.
He widened his eyes, and after a moment, nodded reluctantly, then ran out of the grove to call the sheep.
Jiang Ran then turned to look at everyone: "He promised to take us back to the tribe's residence."
But everyone was obviously more focused on something else: "Why are you saying that? I can't even understand what he's saying!"
Jiang Ran thought for a moment and asked, "Isn't this the common language of ancient Earth? Why don't you know it? Didn't you pay attention in history class?"
Everyone:"……"
A group of poor students began to doubt their lives.
Xu Yang glanced at Jiang Ran subtly.
Out of interest, he had studied the ancient common language of Earth for a period of time. Although he was not proficient in it, he could basically distinguish it. It did not belong to the same language family as what Jiang Ran had just said.
It was obvious that she was lying with her eyes open.
However, Xu Yang did not expose it directly.
Even he really wanted to know what Jiang Ran had been trying to hide.
While they were talking, the little boy had already sorted out the flock of sheep and waved from afar, asking Jiang Ran and others to follow.
Halfway through the journey, he secretly turned back and glanced at Jiang Ran, obviously still a little scared.
Fu Bo was very suspicious: "Did you just threaten him? Why is he so afraid of you?"
Jiang Ran spread his hands and said, "I just told him that if he doesn't take us back, I will expose him for sneaking around and fishing while herding sheep."
Fu Bo: “…”
You actually want to sue the parents?
Fu Bo, who was deeply touched by this, shuddered.
"Slacking off?" Ren Xiayang asked uncertainly.
Jiang Ran nodded. "Like I said, these sheep are raised by humans... Why do you think they're just wandering around without anyone taking care of them?"
It was obvious that the shepherd had deserted.
"Slacking off..." Ren Xiayang murmured.
For a moment, many subtle gazes were cast at Xu Yang.
Xu Yang: “…”
The gathering place of the boys' tribe was not too far away, and everyone managed to arrive there before dark.
The population here is not dense, and it is far from being called a city. It can only be considered a village at most.
The houses here are also quite primitive, mostly square with flat roofs and wooden and stone structures. From a distance, even the walls are made of stones and turf, with branches on top, which looks very solid.
Under the boy's guidance, Jiang Ran and his group successfully entered the village.
At the same time, Jiang Wenxue and the others who followed them from afar were completely confused.
"Wenxue," the bodyguard's voice sounded dreamy, "There are actually people on Earth."
Jiang Wenxue's face was gloomy: "I saw it."
Another bodyguard: "It seems they don't plan to cook the mutton anymore."
Jiang Wenxue exhaled: "I know."
Bodyguard: "They have entered the village. Where are we going to stay tonight?"
Jiang Wenxue: "I..."
"I want to know too!"
