Holy Bone

Chapter 408 Brother, are you also willing to become a sheep?

The camel team led by Jin'an and Kulijiang reunited with Big Beard and Uncle Keremu very smoothly.

It was not a human being who first discovered that Jin An had returned.

But three sheep.

Sadiq and Sahafu, the uncle and nephew, have been crossing the desert with the caravan these days, and they have suffered a lot. People are so strange. When Jin An is there, they talk one by one, and when Jin An is gone, they miss Jin An again. In the days when he was here, at least Jin An could understand the bleating of the sheep, knew when they were thirsty, tired and hungry, and had not abused them along the way.

During the three or four days when Jin An was not around, they had such a miserable time, that they had to walk and drag even the tuo yangbaba.

Because the caravan was afraid of losing the sheep, they tied the three sheep and the camels in a string, so when they encountered shit and pee, they had to be led by the ropes of the camel team while walking and pulling horses all the way.

Moreover, sheep are not like camels, with two big humps on their backs, so it is okay to go without food or water for a long time in the desert.The camel itself is a divine animal bestowed by the gods in the desert, and it is the most resistant to sun exposure in the scorching desert.

Sheep are different, and I don’t know which bastard came up with the idea of ​​bringing sheep into the desert to graze. Eat all night.

But Big Beard and Keremu are businessmen, not shepherds, and they are always negligent. When they thought about feeding water, Sadiq and Sahaf, uncles and nephews, almost died of thirst in the desert several times.

If they hadn't licked their fur so diligently, and the senior goat would occasionally take care of them on the road and share some water for them to drink from the water bag hanging around their necks, Jin'an would have collected the corpses of the two roasted whole sheep.

Later, they also learned to be smart, and wanted to hang a water bag around their necks like the senior goat, but found that no one could understand what they were saying.

Perhaps because of the animal-making skills, the two sensed the familiar aura almost at the same time, and looked back at the same time.

At this moment, they saw in astonishment that Senior Goat stopped a step ahead of them and looked behind him. As expected, Senior Goat eats more hay than them, and sheep licks bricks more than them. It's not for nothing!The two are in awe!

The camel caravan, which had been moving silently on the boundless sandy sea, suddenly stretched its reins, and the camel caravan stopped abruptly. The force dragged the team and could not move forward.

Powerful.

Is this... still a sheep?
Baa!The goat understands human nature, squinting at the bearded man and several Yueqiang cavalry guards who rushed over to check the situation, and then turned his head behind him. In this humanized scene, the bearded man found that there was no obstacle for him to understand, the goat After asking him to watch behind him, don't patronize the sheep.

Uh.

The bearded man felt that he was hysterical, how could a person understand the words of animals, but after a short wait, he saw dust rising from the end of the desert behind him, as if a team of camels was rushing across the desert.

……

……

In fact, with so many people and camels in the caravan, it is not fast to travel in the desert with so many people and camels, so Jin'an and Kulijiang kept changing camels all the way and traveled for a day and a half. Finally caught up with the caravan.

"Tubal beard!"

"Uncle Keremu!"

In the beginning, Jin An had sharp eyes, and saw a small caravan in the vast sand sea from a distance across a few sand dunes.

But Sadiq and Sahafu were the first to respond. They looked at Jin An who finally came back with tears in their eyes, and they looked excited and bleated at Jin An's tears.

If they hadn't been led by the reins of the camel team, the two of them would have run to Jin'an weeping bitterly, telling about the countless hardships they had suffered along the way.

The two teams reunited soon, and Jin An was also a little confused by the excited reaction of the uncle and nephew. It's only been a few days since we haven't seen each other, so why does it seem that many things have happened?

These two are a little too enthusiastic.

"General!"

The [-] or so personal guards of the Yueqiang Kingdom shouted excitedly on the back of their camels when they saw Kulijiang return.

Kulijiang galloped over on the back of a camel, when he saw that all the guards brought out by himself were safe and sound, the exhaustion along the way was swept away, and he laughed boldly: "Hahaha, your spirits are very good. Yes, it seems that during the few days we left temporarily, the caravan traveled safely, and none of the unscrupulous Sand Bandits tried to attack our benefactor of the Yueqiang Kingdom."

The reunion of people from both sides would naturally require a lot of greetings. After discussing with everyone in the caravan, Big Beard and the caravan decided to find a nearby place to rest today, not to continue on the road, and wait until tomorrow to go on the road early.

And even a master like Ku Lijiang couldn't bear to go on the road for two days, so he planned to take the opportunity to rest overnight and wait until tomorrow morning to bring people back to Yueqiang Kingdom.

Next, the team found a leeward side as a place to rest. They formed a circle with camel teams and supplies to form a simple sand-retaining wall. Then a group of people built a bonfire in the camel circle to heat goat's milk, kumiss, and meat. Dry, chatting about their respective experiences with laughter.

What attracted the most attention was naturally whether the exorcism went well. Ku Lijiang was in a very good mood, and he kept praising Jin'an, with admiration in his words.

However, regarding the matter of the devil, Ku Lijiang only talked briefly, and did not tell outsiders too much about the private affairs of the Yueqiang royal family.

After a long day of driving, we were exhausted physically and mentally. At this time, we could drink steaming kumiss and bite the tough jerky. Everyone was in a good mood, chatting and laughing, and changing glasses.

Some people drank too much, and began to take out plucked ear drums and tambourines, and played and sang around the campfire. The atmosphere was lively.

There are singing and dancing here, and the four sheep meet on the other side, and they also get along in a harmonious atmosphere.

The four sheep tied to one side by a rope each had a bag of hay in front of them. While eating the forage in front of them with their heads down, the four sheep exchanged baa, baa, baa from time to time.

"Little brother, were you also forced to turn into a sheep by that Han Taoist priest?" Sadiq asked the newcomer how to do it, pretending to be a senior.

After a short separation for a few days, Sadiq and Sahafu's address to Jin'an changed, and they no longer talked one by one.

Maybe it was because he was worried that Jin An would really leave them behind and suffer.

So this time when Jin An came back, his attitude was much friendlier.

"It turns out that everyone is human!"

The new sheep opened its mouth in shock. Of course, to outsiders, it sounded like a sheep.

But the next moment, he looked respectful.

Daoist Jin'an is indeed of noble character. Others wish to bring more clean water and food that can be used to save their lives when they go into the desert. Only Daoist Jin'an ignores the previous suspicions and not only brings them, the burden of sinful sheep, into the desert, but also gives up half of the camels to replace them. These sinful sheep carry clear water and hay, and they are benevolent and righteous.

Daoist Jin'an is kind-hearted.

Noble character.

Old Sadik was not happy about this: "We are not human, so can we still be sheep?"

"Brother, I didn't mean that. I was just too surprised at first. It turned out that we were all sinful people exiled by the desert."

An old brother called Sadiq a little embarrassed. He felt that the other party was so polite. Why should he take care of this new little brother on the next road, so that the other party can experience the enthusiasm of the desert people like the sun? The way of hospitality, so he led the way as a veteran: "My name is Sadiq, and this is my nephew Sahaf. It has only been six days since we put on sheep's clothing and turned into sheep. This senior sheep with more seniority is The first one who followed the Han Taoist priest, Senior Yang didn’t usually 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..."

As soon as the old Sadik started talking, he seemed like a chatterbox. He kept chewing hay with relish, and the more he ate, the more delicious he was: "Little brother, what crime did you commit to be turned into a sheep by that Han Taoist priest? I don’t know how you call it? From now on, everyone will be sheep on a rope, and they need 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. I was bewitched by the devil and indirectly helped the devil to kill many people. Although those people were not killed by me, they died because of me. I only wore my clothes two days ago. Put on sheep's clothing and become a scapegoat..."

Hearing this, both old Sadiq and young Sahaf were moved.

It turns out that everyone is a fallen person 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 self-blame... Come, eat more hay, and eat enough for tomorrow It's time to go on the road. This is the first time you have entered the desert in sheep's clothing. It looks like you have no experience in the desert. If you don't eat enough now, you will be hungry after driving at dawn. The caravan will not stop and wait for us sheep. "Little Sahafu used his goat's horns to dig out a pile of hay from the hay bag in front of him and shared it with the other party's hay bag, comfortingly said.

"Thank you brother Sahafu, thank you brother Sadiq, you are all good people, did you also voluntarily follow Daoist Jin'an to become sheep?"

Little Sahaf: "?"

Old Sadik: "?"

Looking at the three goats in a harmonious atmosphere, the goat continued to lower its head to eat the large bag of hay in front of it. The goat was physically strong, so the hay sack in front of it was several times higher than that of the other three, half the height of a person.

At this time, the old Sadik frowned and thought: "Ilham, I have always thought this name is very familiar. It sounds like the name of the king of the Yueqiang Kingdom?"

Little Sahafu felt that his fourth uncle was getting confused, so he mocked his fourth uncle: "Fourth uncle, why don't you just say that the Han Taoist kidnapped the king of Yueqiang Kingdom, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah! I'm so confused, it's impossible to think about it, it's even more impossible than me marrying the princess of Yueqiang Kingdom."

Boom!Old Sadik raised his hooves, hit his forehead hard on his nephew's forehead, and stared at both sides, "It's not big or small, how can you talk to your fourth uncle? You only know how to eat, eat, eat."

……

Watching the sheep bleating non-stop when they met for the first time, it was very lively, especially the scene where the sheep knew how to share hay with each other, just happened to be seen by the bearded people, and everyone couldn't help but said with emotion: "Sometimes people Life is not as human as a few sheep."

"Daoist Jin'an, why did you bring an extra sheep into the desert when you went to Yueqiang Kingdom this time? Is there any more meaningful saying than Sanyang Kaitai?"

Jin An replied naturally: "This is called Siyang Kaitai."

"?"

"?"
