Chapter 288 Sheep Kneel Man
This is a trail through the mountains. To be precise, it is not a real mountain road.
However, because it was walked back and forth by people or animals many times, the prototype of a road was formed.
There was a tiger cub groping in front, and people were climbing over the mountains and ridges behind.
On the last mountain shoulder, Xiaohu suddenly stopped.
And Zhang An has also discovered that on the hilly slope in the distance, standing impressively is the wild goat they are looking for.
Little Tiger is not an ordinary hunting dog. It does not bark when it finds prey.
Although the weather was not very good, they still ate the only weeds on the ground leisurely.
And next to them, there are several forest deer.
This is wrong. Forest deer usually live in sparse mountain forests. How could they come to such open-air hills?
"Why did you stop? Do you want to rest?"
Seeing Zhang An and Xiaohu suddenly stop, Chen Ze didn't know why, so he asked.
“Shh!”
However, Zhang An did not answer, but made a silencing gesture.
Then he stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the distant hills, signaling everyone to take cover.
“Hey, there are so many wild goats, and there are even deer.”
Chen Ze looked along where Zhang An pointed, only to find that the sheep were there.
Originally he spoke excitedly, but thinking about Zhang An's gesture, he lowered his voice.
Although this is halfway up the mountain, there are higher peaks as you climb up.
But on this mountainside, there are rocky hills everywhere that are not too high.
In Zhang An's place, such terrain can be found everywhere.
On many relatively large mountains, there will be many short hills.
Most of the main body of these hills are rocks exposed in the air.
However, it is also covered with a lot of soil, but the soil may not be very deep.
So on these hills, there are mostly shrubs and weeds growing.
The wild goats in the mountains like this place the most.
They are good at walking in such places and can better escape predators.
Even wolves or leopards cannot catch up with the wild goats flying over the walls in a place like this.
Of course, if you lose your strength, you can only blame yourself.
As soon as Ding saw his prey, he took out the compound crossbow that he had never used before.
"Don't take action yet. You won't be able to hit, but once you pull the trigger, the sheep will definitely be frightened. If they run here, we won't be able to catch them."
Huang Erye His words calmed down the two excited young people.
It was only then that they discovered that Zhang Ping, who was carrying a shotgun next to him, had not even unhooked the gun.
"Second Master, look at the depression over there. It looks quite deep."
Zhang An pointed to the depression next to the sheep and said.
Generally, if there are multiple hills formed on such a mountain shoulder.
There must be a sunken depression among them. This is the law of crustal movement.
“My idea is to let the tiger cubs go to the back later, and then drive the sheep into the depression.”
“Then we all spread out, and everyone kept guard. At a gap, prevent them from escaping through the gap."
Hearing what Zhang An said, there was one word in everyone's mind.
Beating a dog with a closed door or catching a turtle in an urn.
If they were all from the village, Zhang An wouldn’t need to say it so clearly.
But he was worried that Ding Yi and Chen Ze wouldn't understand, so he said a few more words.
"When the time comes, we will trap them all in the depression below, and how we want to catch them is all our business."
I was lucky today, this terrain is simply Don't be too nice.
If these wild goats are driven into a depression, as long as they guard the few gaps, they will not be able to escape at all.
“It’s a good method, but it’s a little too difficult to get across here without being discovered.”
It’s not that far from here, but it’s so straight The past will definitely scare away the sheep.
So we have to make a big circle from behind the hill next to it.
"Don't worry, Second Master, Xiaohu and the others shouldn't be too familiar with this kind of detour."
Ordinary wild goats will be driven around when encountering hunting dogs.
Not to mention the eight guys from Zhang An's family who are as big as lions.
"Okay, Second Master, you go to the gap and hide first, and then come out when you hear the dog barking."
When everyone was preparing to take action, Zhang An asked Chen Ze to kill Laizhou Fatty Taken away.
This kind of action is not suitable for it, because there are many rocks that it cannot jump on at all.
Although Zhang An gave it some space spring water to drink, it could only make it last longer.
After all, he is too fat and may be a burden if he follows the team.
When Mr. Huang and the others arrived at the gap in the depression, Zhang An began to take Xiaohu and the others into action.
The slope behind the detour has reached the blind spot of Huang Erye and his companions.
Zhang An stuffed all the dogs into the space, and then touched them alone.
This is safer. After all, there are too many dogs, and no matter how careful you are, the dog's feet may leak out.
Although there are rugged rocks everywhere, Zhang An is very skilled and this is not a problem for him.
If someone saw it, they would just think it was a swift gorilla spinning, jumping and climbing in this rocky mountain.
After half an hour, Zhang An finally arrived at his original destination.
In space, Zhang An fed all the dogs with space spring water.
Later, when it’s time to put in the effort, there will be guys with insufficient stamina holding everyone back.
After getting ready, Zhang An waved his hand, and eight big dogs plus Erqing jumped out from the left and right sides of the hill.
With the penetrating roar of the little tiger, other dogs also started barking.
For a time, the bleating sounds of wild sheep just now were instantly covered by "woof woof woof".
As for Zhang An, he had already touched the top of the slope at this time to prevent someone as smart as Xi Yangyang from jumping to the top of the slope and escaping later.
When the tiger cubs and the others emerged from the back slope, the sheep, which had looked leisurely just now, munching on fodder with their heads down, were running around the mountain like crazy.
Zhang An, who was on the slope, saw this scene, and four words suddenly appeared in his mind - wolf among sheep.
That's right. After all, Xiaohu and his three brothers have a father who is a wolf.
Da Mao and his brothers are estimated to have three-quarters of the wolf blood in their bodies. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are wolves.
The sheep were attacked by the tiger cubs that came out from the right, and the leader chose to take them to the right to escape.
But unexpectedly, on the mountainside on the right, Da Mao and his brothers were already waiting there.
With no way out on either side, the leader instinctively fled towards the depression behind him.
Everything is going according to Zhang An's plan.
When Mr. Huang and the others heard a burst of dog barking, they were already guarding the gap in the mountain.
At this time, Zhang An originally planned to drive down the forest deer next to them.
But this thing is just like the deer at home, it jumps too much.
Before the little tigers could catch up, they had already jumped onto the rock and ran away from the other side.
But this time Zhang An’s target was not them, and he let them escape from his eyes.
When all the sheep in the flock jumped into the depression, Xiaohu and the others stood on the ridge.
Just like a hunter patrolling his prey, he raised his proud head and looked at the sheep in the pit.
The leader of the flock is obviously no ordinary wild sheep. Although it was trapped in a depression, it did not want to accept its fate.
Instead, he looked around in the depression, and then started running, trying to find an easy place to escape and jump out.
But in the surrounding areas, several gaps in the mountains were guarded by people with weapons.
Every time it ran away, the little tiger followed it.
When it was about to jump out, a dog's head suddenly appeared and frightened it back.
In this way, Xiaohu played with the sheep for a long time, and the leader stopped as if he had resigned himself to his fate.
Looking at the exhausted sheep, Zhang An wanted to ask Chen Ze and Ding Yi to just take action if they wanted to have fun.
But before he could speak, a sudden change occurred in the flock.
One of the sheep in the flock raised its head and began to howl. The sound was very painful to hear.
For some reason, Zhang An always felt like he had heard this voice before.
Zhang An, who was standing at a high place, looked over carefully and realized that the wailing wild sheep had a very bulging belly.
It doesn’t look like she has eaten too much, but more like she is pregnant.
Everyone who originally wanted to hunt was not in a hurry after discovering this situation.
As time passed, Zhang An became more and more certain that the sheep was about to give birth.
But Zhang An felt something was wrong. Logically speaking, wild sheep in the wild generally do not give birth in winter.
Because the winter climate is very harsh, it is difficult for the cubs to survive.
But there are so many things in this world that remain unchanged.
But after waiting for a while, Zhang An heard that the sound was getting more and more strange.
He suddenly remembered that when the ewe at home had a difficult birth, the cry was similar to now, too low.
"Second Master, don't do anything yet. This sheep is giving birth, so I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to get out."
Zhang An said towards the opposite side, and then jumped to the three meters below with the little tiger. Inside the depression.
After all, I am too soft-hearted to see such a scene.
Looking at Xiaohu and Zhang An passing by, the sheep suddenly became commotion and retreated frequently.
Only the leading sheep did not move at all in front of the ewe.
Zhang An couldn't help but praise, they are indeed a sheep. With such courage, Zhang An already planned to let them go today.
After all, in the past, there was a rabbit who dared to kick the flower head, and it is still living well in space.
Zhang An waved his hand and asked Xiaohu to get this guy away. If he continued to waste it, the ewe would probably die.
Because it is silent now and probably has no strength left.
But no matter how the little tiger tried to scare him, the sheep would not move at all, as if the one behind him was his wife.
At this moment, Zhang An saw a magical scene.
The sheep, which had been struggling just now, now bent its front hooves and knelt in front of Zhang An.
There were tears in its eyes, as if begging Zhang An to help the ewe.
This scene shocked everyone on the mountain.
As for Zhang An, he was also stunned.
This is probably the spirituality of animals.
Zhang An has seen a lot of animals in the mountains and forests, but Zhang An has never seen such a spontaneous and spiritual person.
In the last group of green wolves, the wolf also showed his spirituality in front of Zhang An.
And this time, he is the leader of the flock.
Although Zhang An had originally planned to take action, this time he felt even more duty-bound.
Zhang An walked around the leader sheep and walked to the ewe. As expected, the ewe looked exhausted.
Behind it, the lamb wrapped in fetal membranes just popped out its head.
This situation is not actually a dystocia, but it may be that the ewe has no strength and is really unable to give birth to the fetus.
Zhang An shook his head, it seemed that he had to be a midwife again today.
But there was no rush, Zhang An took out the kettle and poured some space spring water for the ewe to drink.
When it regained some strength, Zhang An walked up behind it and pulled out the half-born lamb.
The sheep in Zhang An’s house have given birth to lambs so many times.
But this wild lamb is the smallest lamb Zhang An has ever seen.
It is really too small, only the size of a kitten. It is not difficult to tell that it is a premature baby.
At this time, Zhang An also understood that the ewes were always carrying their babies.
I was frightened by Xiaohu and the others just now, and then they were chased everywhere.
This may have caused the tire pressure to move. Although it is not yet time to give birth, it can no longer be postponed.
And this lamb, ever since it was born and Zhang An peeled off the fetal membranes, has been in labor until now.
The ewe also recovered some strength at this time, turned around and started licking the motionless lamb.
Maybe it was because the lamb couldn’t feel any movement for a long time, so the ewe couldn’t help but howl again.
Forget it, save the sheep to the end and send the Buddha to the West.
Zhang An once again took out the space spring water and poured it into the wild lamb's mouth bit by bit.
At this time, Mr. Huang and others from the mountain also came down.
Seeing this situation, they no longer wanted to hunt.
"How about it, are you going to have a baby?"
"Well, the baby was born, but it seems to have died."
What Zhang An should do It has already been done. Whether it lives or dies depends on its own fate.
Actually, there is a better way, which is to receive it into space.
The space has a therapeutic effect on animals, and it will definitely save this lamb.
But with people watching around him, Zhang An would not be stupid.
The ewe knew that the water given by Zhang An was different because it had just drank it.
Now I saw Zhang An quietly licking the lamb after feeding him water.
Quietly, five minutes passed. The first sheep did not escape, and the other sheep in the depression also stayed in place.
Originally, Zhang An had given the sheep a death notice, but suddenly, he noticed that the sheep's mouth moved.
This is. . . Come to life?
“It’s alive, it’s open its mouth.”
Being able to open its mouth to breathe is proof that it can survive.
A few minutes later, this pocket-sized lamb was able to lift its head.
It just struggled for a long time and still couldn't stand up. It was probably related to premature birth.
“It’s rare to encounter such intelligent animals, so we won’t do anything to them today.”
Seeing that the lamb was alive, Zhang An was ready to let the sheep leave.
"In the mountains and forests, it is rare to encounter this kind of thing. If you do it, you will commit a big taboo."
Huang Erye thought about the sheep kneeling in front of Zhang An just now. This was the first time he had seen it.
People in the mountains all have a sense of awe. After all, they rely on the mountains for food, and they must also be in awe of the mountains.
"I was so moved just watching it. I no longer have this idea."
Chen Ze and Ding Yi had already forgotten about hunting at this time.
Such an experience will be the talk of the town in front of family or friends in the future.
"Then let's go. After we go down the mountain later, we have to run for food for the night."
After Zhang An finished speaking, he stopped caring about the sheep and prepared to take the dog with him. Everyone leave this place.
