It is said that animals have spirituality. This sheep seemed to understand the human words, jumped up, and actually caught up with Mei Sanniang.

The roads in the mountain villages are not like those in big cities. They pass through winding hills one after another. They are all plains and hills. Each mountain is about a hundred meters high. Occasionally, you can see eagles soaring in the blue sky.

From time to time, a few pheasants would appear on the roadside, but unfortunately no one came close, and all these pheasants flew away very fast.

She must come back before noon, otherwise the child will starve.

But what she didn't know was that Xue'er had already become irritable and restless. After Mei Sanniang left for a while, the child didn't see that her mother was worried.

"Grandpa Li, will my mother come back?" The little girl looked at her grandfather aggrievedly. He was afraid that if his mother left, just like his father, she would never come back.

After her mother loaded her father with food, his father looked at her with the same smile, then waved his hand and disappeared from her sight, never to be seen again.

"Silly girl, your mother will never abandon you. You are the flesh and blood of your mother's heart, and she won't let you go."

"How can you think of the worst? Your mother just went to get a little kid! It's not like she really left."

"Didn't you just say it well? You were there at the time! We are just waiting for your mother to come back."

Mei Xue didn't want to think about the worst, but an intuition told her that her mother would never come back, so she took the sheep and left with all the family property.

"Mother will never abandon me!"

Mei Xue looked into the distance, where there were endless mountains, and her mother was walking towards the distance.

Mei Sanniang walked and stopped along the way. She couldn't stand it after walking for several kilometers. After driving for a while, she had to sit down and rest. The sheep next to her also drank some water and ate a few handfuls of grass along the river.

"If you're lucky and there's a lamb somewhere, I'll exchange it for you, so you don't need to go to the market!"

"If you don't want to be eaten by people in the market, be smart and find a good family to trade you with two little lambs! I can keep you and give birth to lambs next year! Otherwise, then

I will redeem you, and you will save my family and return to the palace!"

"As a human being, I also know how to repay kindness. Yang'er, don't blame my Sanniang for being cruel. If you are really spiritual, find a good family!"

The sheep snorted a few times and shook its head.

"I said you are such a stubborn sheep! No wonder you dare to kick your master! It seems I haven't scared you, you are really not afraid!"

Mei Sanniang chattered a few words, but the sheep seemed to be unable to listen anymore, so it turned around and walked in another direction. Although this direction was not going back, this path led to another village.

Mei Sanniang hurriedly followed. After a while, she saw wisps of smoke rising from the kitchen. She didn't expect that it would be almost noon after walking for so long.

It seemed to be a bit unexpected. She originally thought that she could rush back before noon, feed Guitang, and cook for Old Man Li.

It seems that all we can do is draw water from a bamboo basket, and everything will be in vain. Before this thing is completed, another thing will only come to nothing.

"What are you doing that way, sheep?"

Although she could reach the market by walking in this direction, she had never walked this road in her memory.

The sheep kept walking forward without saying a word. Not only was the speed not slow, Mei Sanniang could just keep up.

After walking for a while, the ewe bleated.

Then, another voice came over.

Mei Sanniang thought it was an echo, but after listening carefully, she heard two calls. The sound was extremely clear. It was not like the kind of message between valleys, but like another sheep responding.

At this moment, she walked down to a house not far away. There was a plume of smoke, and there was a man driving sheep with a whip.

Mei Sanniang walked over with her sheep. It was a little girl holding a whip, about ten years old. It seemed that she was driving the sheep into the pen.

"Kid, do you have a lamb at home?"

"Don't worry, I'm just asking. I have a sheep here that I want to exchange for two lambs."

The little girl was still a little scared. She looked at Mei Sanniang warily and relaxed her vigilance after Mei Sanniang explained her purpose.

"I have a newborn lamb at home."

When Mei Sanniang heard this, she looked at her sheep with joy. Sure enough, this sheep still had a strong desire to survive. In the countryside, every household was reluctant to eat the sheep themselves, and would keep them for milking or to give birth to lambs.

"It seems like you are really spiritual!"

Mei Sanniang followed the little girl into the house and met her mother under the introduction of the little girl.

The girl's mother noticed the sheep next to her at a glance.

"Mifu."

Mei Sanniang was startled. A strange name came into her mind, and this name belonged to the sheep next to her.

"Mifu?"

The woman was very excited when she saw the sheep. Even Mei Sanniang once doubted that Wang Ma's sheep was stolen.

Just when she was full of doubts, the woman in front of her finally spoke, "Who are you?"

Mei Sanniang subconsciously tightened the rope, fearing that the person in front of her would snatch her sheep.

"I just want to trade this sheep for two of your little lambs!"

As soon as he said this, the woman in front of him repeatedly agreed: "Of course!"

This decisive answer surprised Mei Sanniang, but fortunately, she did not ask where the sheep came from.

"But I'm only borrowing this sheep temporarily. I have to redeem it because I still have unweaned children at home and I can't bear to part with this sheep."

At this time, the woman hesitated. She frowned and discussed the price with Mei Sanniang, "Then why do you want to exchange this sheep for two? Let's do this, I will give you something more."

Mei Sanniang was a little curious about why this woman was so obsessed with the sheep next to her. Just as she was wondering, several other sheep gathered around and sniffed around the sheep named Naifu.

It seemed that this sheep was very familiar with the other sheep, which made Mei Sanniang even more sure of the origin of this sheep.

Otherwise, how could this sheep find its way home when passing by?

"This is not another problem, but that I really need to raise milk. My child is not yet weaned, but I don't have the food to feed him."

Women understand women’s difficulties best, and nothing is more precious than their children.

"Okay, if you want to sell it, can you sell it to me then, or can I exchange it for a sheep?"

The woman has a very strong attachment to this sheep. She doesn't know what the relationship between this sheep and this woman is, but she can tell that this sheep seems to like this place very much.

"Of course, but now I need two lambs."

Mei Sanniang knew that she could not afford to raise two lambs now, but now she had no choice but to replace them because Wang Ma could regret it at any time.

At least in a short period of time, other people will know that her family raises sheep.

"I will need to use this sheep to feed my child later. If you need it, after my child is weaned, I will take it back and exchange it for your two lambs. Do you think it is feasible?"

Of course the woman is willing, "Big sister, come and sit in the room! Just call me big."

"Big sister, what's your name?"

"Mei Sanniang."

"Sanniang?"

Da Mian called to his daughter, "Hurry up and get your Aunt Mei some water."

Da Mian's family raised three goats, and it was considered a wealthy family. Mei Sanniang went in and sat down, and found that there was no man in the house. Most families would have several men.

Just as Mei Sanniang was looking around, Da Mian said: "My men have gone to farm in the fields! So there is no one at home!"

At this time, Da Mian talked to Mei Sanniang about the nanny.

"The name of the sheep you brought is Naifu. You may want to ask why I still recognize it?"

Da Mian smiled and continued, "My nanny has a bunch of black hair on her butt."

"My other sheep is called Puff. Puff is a stubborn person. He never lets anyone touch him, let alone let other sheep get close to him. But my Puff got close to your sheep as soon as he saw it. I looked at it again.

When you get to that tuft of hair, you will know that my nanny is back."

At this time, Mei Sanniang asked curiously, "Then why did you sell it again?"

Da Mian looked at Mei Sanniang in confusion, and then Mei Sanniang explained, "I bought this sheep from someone else! I don't know who sold it!"

Da Mian nodded and understood.

"Mifu and Puff are the best-behaved sheep in my family. I raised them both, and they are more or less affectionate. They say that the animals in the house are just for food, but I don't think so."

"When my sheep were sold, I felt a little distressed. I didn't want to sell them because my family was not that poor. I loved these two sheep the most and was reluctant to buy or sell them. But during that time, my man carried them on his back.

After I sold the milkfu, he told me that the milkfu had been served on the plate."

As she spoke, a feeling of sadness came to her heart. Although they were domestic animals, they should be killed and eaten, but she thought it would be a pity that these two ewes could still give birth to many lambs and eat them, and they would not be able to get much back after selling them.

, besides, if you stay here for a long time, you will inevitably develop feelings.

"It's a blessing that I met you, big girl, otherwise I would have thought that my milk-filled pussy had already been served on a plate!"

That being said, it was good enough to have enough to eat and drink in this remote mountainous area. Whether the people in front of her were speaking human language or lies, only she knew in her heart.

"It seems that you and Nanny have a really good relationship. I think those two sheep like to stay together."

"I'll trade you two lambs, and then I'll bring the lambs back."

Da Mian nodded and agreed with satisfaction, "Yes, of course!"

The lamb was obtained, but on the way back, Mei Sanniang realized something was wrong.

This little lamb seemed to have no strength at all, and its body was like dry wood. You could feel the bones with just a touch.

What's even more irritating is that she only discovered halfway that the lamb seemed to have a skin disease hidden in the wool. She didn't check it just now and didn't find it.
