Chapter 407: Brother, did you also voluntarily become a sheep?
The camel team led by Jin'an and Kulijiang met up with Big Beard, Uncle Keremu and the others smoothly.
The first person to discover that Jin'an was not a human being.
But three sheep.
Sadiq and Sahaf, the uncle and nephew, have been traveling through the desert with the caravan in the past few days and have suffered a lot. People are so strange. When Jin An is here, they talk about each other, but when Jin An is gone, they miss Jin An again.
In those days, at least Jin'an could understand the sheep's bleating words and knew when they were thirsty, tired and hungry, and he never mistreated them along the way.
During the three or four days that Jin An was away, they lived in misery.
In fact, they had to walk with their legs crossed even to pull the sheep cake. Because the caravan was afraid of losing the sheep, they tied the three sheep and the camels in a string. When they had diarrhea, they had to be pulled by the ropes of the camel team.
As I walked, I walked in a straight line all the way.
Moreover, unlike camels, sheep carry two big humps on their backs, so they can survive in the desert without eating or drinking water for a long time. Camels themselves are mythical beasts given to the desert by the gods, and they are the most drought-resistant in the scorching desert.
Sheep are different. What bastard would think of bringing sheep into the desert to graze. It's so miserable. Sheep not only get hungry and thirsty quickly, but also poop and digest quickly. They have to work all day long.
eat.
But Big Beard and Kremu were businessmen, not shepherds, so they would always be negligent. When they thought of feeding them water, Sadiq and Sahaf, the uncle and nephew, almost died of thirst in the desert several times.
If they hadn't been so diligent in licking their fur, and the goat seniors occasionally took care of them on the road and gave them some water from the water bags hanging around their necks, Jin An would have had to collect the carcasses of the two whole roasted sheep.
Later, they became smarter and wanted to be like their goat predecessors, always hanging a water bag around their necks. However, they found that no one could understand what they meant.
Perhaps because of the animal-making technique, the two of them sensed a familiar aura almost at the same time, and looked back at the same time.
At this time, they were shocked to see that the senior goat stopped one step ahead of them and looked behind them. He was indeed the senior goat. He ate more hay than them and licked more bricks than they did. The sheep licked more bricks than they did, so they were not in vain!
The two of them were in awe!
The camel caravan that had been moving forward silently on the boundless sea of sand suddenly tightened its reins and the camels came to a sudden stop, refusing to move away no matter how hard they were driven away. Only then did everyone realize that the goats had stopped moving forward.
The force drags the team forward and prevents them from moving forward.
Infinitely powerful.
Is this still a sheep?
Hey! The goat has a human nature. He glanced sideways at Big Beard and several Yueqiang Kingdom cavalry guards who came over to check the situation. Then he turned his head behind him. Big Beard found that he had no problem understanding this humanized scene.
, the goat was telling him to look behind him and stop looking at the sheep.
Well.
The bearded man felt hysterical. How could a man understand the words of an animal? Not long after, he saw dust rising at the end of the desert behind him, as if a camel team was rushing through the desert.
…
…
In fact, there were so many people in the caravan, camels, and they had to carry goods and supplies. It was not very fast in the desert, so they kept changing camels all the way from Jin'an to Kulijiang, which took two days and one night.
In the afternoon, we finally caught up with the caravan.
"Tubal has a big beard!"
"Uncle Kremu!"
At first, Jin An's sharp eyes saw a small caravan in the vast sea of sand across a few sand dunes.
But the first ones to respond were Sadiq and Sahaf. They looked at Jin An who finally came back with tears in their eyes. They looked excited and bleated at Jin An with tears rolling down his face.
If they hadn't been held by the camel team's reins, the two of them would have run to Jin'an crying and recounting the countless hardships they suffered along the way.
The two teams reunited soon, and Jin An was a little confused by the excited reaction of the uncle and nephew. They hadn't seen each other for a few days, so why did it seem like a lot of things had happened?
These two were a little too enthusiastic.
"General!"
The twenty or so mounted guards of the Yueqiang Kingdom, when they saw Kulijiang returning, they all shouted excitedly on the backs of their camels.
Kulijiang, who was riding over on the back of a camel, also laughed boldly and said: "Hahaha, you are in good spirits. It seems that the caravan has a safe journey during the few days we have left temporarily. No one is open-minded.
The sand thieves are plotting against our benefactor from the Yueqiang Kingdom."
Naturally, the reunion between the two parties involved some exchanges of greetings. After discussion with the caravan members, Big Beard decided to find a place nearby to rest and not continue on the road, but to wait until early tomorrow to set off on the road.
Even an expert like Ku Lijiang couldn't bear to travel for two days in a row, so he planned to take the opportunity to rest for the night and then take others back tomorrow morning.
Finally, the team found a sand dune on the leeward side, and formed a circle with camels and supplies to form a simple sand wall. The group lit a bonfire in the camel circle, heated up goat's milk wine, horse milk wine, and dried meat, and laughed happily.
Talk freely about their experiences.
What attracted the most attention was naturally whether the exorcism went smoothly. Kulijiang was in a very good mood and kept praising Jin An with admiration in his words.
However, Kulijiang only talked briefly about the devil and did not tell outsiders too much about the private affairs of the Yueqiang royal family.
After a day of traveling, we were exhausted physically and mentally. Now we could drink steaming kumiss and bite into the tough meat jerky. Everyone was in a good mood, chatting and laughing, and changing glasses.
Some people drank too much and began to take out polo and tambourines, and started playing and singing around the campfire, creating a lively atmosphere.
There was singing and dancing here, and the four sheep on the other side met, and they also got along in a harmonious atmosphere.
The four sheep were tied to one side by a rope, each with a bag of hay placed in front of them. The four sheep lowered their heads and ate the hay in front of each other, while exchanging bleating, bleating, bleating from time to time.
"Little brother, were you also forced to turn into a sheep by that Han Taoist priest?" Sadiq claimed to be a senior and asked about the new boy's path.
After being separated for a few days, I don't know what happened to Sadiq and Sahaf. The two of them changed their views on Jin'an greatly and no longer talked about the same monster.
Perhaps he was worried that Jin An would really leave them behind and suffer.
So this time Jin An came back with a much friendlier attitude.
"It turns out we are all human!"
The new sheep was shocked and spoke. Of course, to outsiders, it sounded like a sheep's cry.
But the next moment, he looked respectful.
Taoist priest Jin'an is indeed of high moral character. Others would like to bring more water and food to save their lives when they go into the desert. Only Taoist priest Jin'an ignores his past grudges and not only takes them, the guilty sheep, into the desert, but also gives up most of the camels to take their place.
These sin-bearing sheep carry clean water and hay, and are extremely benevolent and righteous.
Taoist priest Jin'an has a kind heart.
Noble character.
Old Sadiq was unhappy: "We are not humans, are we still sheep?"
"Brother, I didn't mean that. I was just a little too surprised at first. It turns out that we are all guilty people exiled in the desert."
The words "old brother" made Sadiq feel a little embarrassed. He felt that the other party was so polite. Why should he take care of this new little brother on the way to the next, so that he could experience the passion of the people of the desert as warm as the sun?
In the way of hospitality, he led the way with his seniority: "My name is Sadiq, and this is my nephew, Sahav. It has just been six days since we put on sheepskins and became sheep. This senior sheep, who is more senior,
He was the first to follow a Han Taoist priest. Senior Yang usually doesn’t speak, but he took great care of us along the way. Thanks to Senior Yang’s care, we were able to survive the most difficult first few days..."
Old Sadiq started talking and kept chewing the hay with relish. The more he ate, the more delicious it became: "Little brother, what crime did you commit to be turned into a sheep by that Han Taoist priest? I don't know what you are called? From now on everyone will
We are like sheep on a rope. We have to help each other to survive in the desert for a long time."
The new sheep said in a low voice: "My name is Ilham. Because I was bewitched by the devil, I indirectly helped the devil kill many people. Although those people were not killed by me personally, they died because of me. I just wore the clothes two days ago.
Wearing sheep's clothing and becoming the scapegoat..."
Hearing this, both old Sadiq and young Sahav were moved.
It turns out that everyone is a degenerate in the world.
"Ilham, you are not alone. My fourth uncle and I also indirectly killed many people because of helping the devil, so we all understand your feeling of self-blame... Come, eat more hay, and you will be full tomorrow
It’s time to hit the road. This is your first time going into the desert in sheepskin. If you don’t eat well now, you won’t have the energy to go on the road after dawn.” Little Sahab took out a pile of hay from the hay bag in front of him with his horns.
He put the hay into the opponent's hay bag and said comfortingly.
"Thank you, brother Sahaf, and thank you, brother Sadiq. You are all good people. Did you also voluntarily exile yourself and follow Taoist Jin'an to become a sheep?"
Little Sahav: "?"
Old Atik: "?"
Looking at the harmonious atmosphere of the three goats, the goat continued to lower its head and eat a large bag of hay in front of it.
