Although I still don't understand whether these goats can withstand the disaster on the full moon night and help Yunwen, but there is still time and it seems to be somewhat useful, so I will do more research. In addition, I can't help but have some ideas about this group of goats. There is nothing on this deserted island, so this resource is extremely precious. If conditions permit, we can transfer all the goats to our city and domesticate them, so that we will have enough wool and goat milk for the winter.
In addition, it can also defend against evil spirits. Isn't that the best of both worlds?
Thinking of this, I have a lot of plans in my mind. Seeing that winter is approaching, now I have to take care of not only myself and my wives, but also many other families. Keeping warm is also a big problem. After all, the severe cold in winter can't be dealt with by a mud house and a bonfire. If you don't want to get frostbite when going out, you have to keep up with those light industrial things.
Lingshang and I found the sheep that had been bleating just now. It was terrified to see us, with its horns erected, obviously trying to prevent us from getting too close and planning to fight to the death. Sheep are notoriously reckless, and although we look tall, we are not carnivores after all. Although it was frightened, it did not know our strength, so it only treated us as intruders and drove us away.
I saw it kicking up its front legs and digging the ground, its horns tilted even more, and it was very aggressive. With my own reaction speed, it would be easy to avoid being hit by it. What I wanted to challenge was to dodge it and catch it at the same time. I put my hands in front of me and made defensive moves to let Lingchang move aside so that I could complete the next sheep-catching posture. It formed a counter-attack with me.
"Come on." I hooked my arm at the goat.
"Come on, Zhou Lang," Ling Shang encouraged.
I smiled at her, feeling that the situation was in control, and just when I neglected it for a moment, that guy suddenly attacked, much faster than I thought. I quickly turned my attention back, but the next second I was stunned. It could actually speed up, and the sheep's hooves between its legs were almost blurred. In a hurry, I had to dodge in advance, but it was impossible to catch it. Although I thought that when I jumped away, it changed direction without slowing down at all.
"Oh my god!" I screamed, but it was too late. With a bang, my lumbar spine was hit and I was suspended in the air. I didn't know how far I was lying on the ground. I only felt that it was about four or five seconds. Not only was my waist extremely painful, but the skin from the friction was also burning with pain.
Pain is a small matter, but making a fool of myself in front of our little fairy is really embarrassing, especially since I was so confident just now. I held my waist and sat up, wondering what's so special about this goat that it can have an acceleration function, like a little rocket.
"Hehe, it doesn't count, it doesn't count. This guy tricked me and attacked me when I was distracted. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't be so embarrassed." I said.
However, Ling Shang smiled playfully and said, "It's obviously a failure."
The goat was still relentless and wanted to continue attacking me. I also noticed that it seemed to be different from ordinary goats. Not only in the things it showed just now, but also that it seemed to be much better at predicting the situation than ordinary goats. Just like just now, it caught the moment when I was distracted, and used sprinting and acceleration to catch me off guard. It seems that they are indeed extraordinary creatures.
I hadn't stood firm yet, but I could only parry hastily. However, the sound of the sprint stopped abruptly, leaving the remaining strong wind blowing on my hands, which was a little cool. I saw that Ling Shang had already turned into a nine-tailed white fox and grabbed the goat in one bite. Then an incredible scene appeared. It clearly did not appear, and its body was light, as if it had nothing to do, but it was pretending to be dead, with its head drooping.
This survival instinct surprised me. If it was not formed by some kind of natural training, it was probably because its brain had been opened up, so it always knew the natural principle of going with the flow. It seems that anything that can survive here is not ordinary.
Ling Shang grabbed the sheep, and I climbed up the tree to find some vines and asked her to put the sheep down. After I tied up the sheep, I sat on her back and she stepped on the wind and went back. The sheep was obviously scared and trembling all over, but it did not struggle at all, because if it fell from mid-air, no matter how strong or special its life was, it would probably be smashed into a meat paste, so it was still in the state of pretending to be dead.
"These sheep have had some spiritual power since a long time ago. At that time, the younger foxes in my family were all still weaned and needed some milk for food. They generously provided some and helped me a lot without any grudges. If it were other sheep, they would have run away when they saw us foxes. Zhou Lang's failure just now must have been because he underestimated them." Yunwen said.
"That's true. If they were ordinary sheep, I have helped my uncle catch many in the countryside. It would be no problem at all. I expected that wild sheep would be slightly smaller than that. However, it was completely beyond my expectation. If it weren't for you, I might have suffered a great loss today. But why are they different from ordinary sheep? Is it because they eat those leaves? But those trees are somewhat different from ordinary trees." I said.
"I don't know either. That's why when you, Zhou Lang, were catching the sheep just now, I picked some leaves. One reason was to bring some food to the sheep, and the other was to check with Sister Yunwen. After all, she is knowledgeable and knows everything. She should know something about it and might be able to tell me the origin of it." Ling Shang said.
"You have thought it through carefully. I was just busy catching sheep." I laughed.
The goat didn't move much along the way and was very well-behaved, which saved me a lot of trouble. It took more than an hour to go back the same way. When we returned to the post station, it was almost dark. After landing in the inner courtyard of the post station, she went to find her fox clan first, while I carried the goat into the house and put it down. Only Bai Lu was in the house. She was coming down from the second floor. When she saw the goat, she was stunned and took a few steps back.
I knew that her body might be affected by some unclean things to some extent, so I was not surprised. Seeing her reaction like this, I couldn't help but think that this goat could really be used to ward off evil spirits.
"Brother Zhou Bo, this sheep you brought back is so strange. Why is it staring at me? Also, are you planning to have hotpot with it tonight?" Bai Lu said.
Thinking of the pain in my waist, I really wanted to eat mutton, but I held back. After all, I didn't bring this sheep back to eat. So I said, "It's nothing strange. And I warn you, don't try to take this sheep, or you will be knocked away. Don't blame me for not reminding you."
Bai Lu nodded as if she believed it or not, and you could see that her eye sockets seemed to be darker. The floor in the room was not swept, the table was not cleaned, and the clothes were not washed. But she came out of the room on the second floor. It seemed that she was lazy for a while. And I thought that she probably started the so-called spiritual communication with Yingchun again.
"Zhou Bo, you are really back. I just saw Sister Lingshang, so I came up to confirm." Yunwen came into the house from the courtyard at this time, and Sanfu came closer and rubbed his nose against the goat curiously.
When Bai Lu saw Yunwen, she frowned and went back to the house.
Yunwen glanced at Bai Lu's back as she left, and said coldly, "Since you left, she has been hiding in the room on the second floor, talking to herself. I came back several times to get something but never saw her come down. I wonder if she is going crazy."
"I guess she has offended some unclean creature, but never mind. She didn't dare to do that when I was around. Besides, I have specially found some ways to treat her current condition this time. Also, that night you said you were afraid that evil spirits would haunt you, so I specially found this sheep. It lives near the place where the evil spirits are imprisoned and is not afraid of them. Maybe it can be used to treat her." I said frankly.
"Did you go out with Lingshang just to speak for me?" Yunwen asked.
"Of course, but I didn't dare to mention it last night, for fear that you would overthink it and run away without trusting me. So this time I will do it first and ask for your consent later, so that you can feel at ease and settle your mind." I said.
She burst into laughter, obviously very satisfied with my actions, then she looked at the goat and communicated with it in the way of Yangshenmu, which can communicate with all things. As she communicated more, her eyes became more and more delighted...
