Origin

After waiting for so long, Abo finally walked out of the sheep pen. Wu Zhongyuan rubbed his hands excitedly, worried about disturbing them, and did not dare to get too close, so he could only follow cautiously from a distance.

But Apo didn't go far away, he stopped and stopped all morning, only wandering around the sheepfold.

"It seems to be a little careless." Zhao Ying said with a smile.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head helplessly, the two of them did nothing else this morning, they just hid behind the haystack and watched Abo play hooligans.

"It's noon, let's go, go back to eat." Zhao Ying said.

"Go back and eat, I'll watch over here." Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand.

Zhao Ying nodded, got up and left.

Not long after Zhao Ying left, Abo also took Xiaojiaoniang home, leaving only Wu Zhongyuan sitting under the haystack depressed.

Not long after, Yao Zhongyi came, delivered food to Wu Zhongyuan, and bid farewell to him by the way. Yao Zhongyi had not been on leave for a while, and had to go back to school.

Just as Yao Zhongyi left, two herdsmen came. In the past few days, some herdsmen always came here to recommend themselves, to be precise, Mao Sui recommended sheep. They all thought that Wu Zhongyuan and Zhao Ying were here to look for hybrid sheep.

This is also Wu Zhongyuan's rhetoric and reason for staying here. There must be a reasonable excuse for staying in other people's villages.

Naturally, Wu Zhongyuan would not leave here, and sent them to find Zhao Ying. The reason why the herdsmen recommended themselves so enthusiastically was because Zhao Ying was too high-profile. This guy lives in Yao's house. Changing the refrigerator at home will make the whole village know that she is rich.

In the afternoon, Abo took a nap as usual, the young couple slept in the sheep pen, and Wu Zhongyuan stood guard for them in the distance.

According to Yao Zhongyi, Abo usually leaves the flock in the morning when the sheep are out of the pen, and generally does not go far away in the afternoon, but Wu Zhongyuan is worried, so he also stays outside in the afternoon, and does not return to Yao's house for dinner until the sun goes down.

The sheep's night vision ability is very average, and they usually don't leave the pen at night, but when Wu Zhongyuan came back from dinner, he found that only the ewe was left in the sheep pen, and Abo was gone.

Wu Zhongyuan broke out in a cold sweat instantly, looking around anxiously, but Abo was nowhere to be seen.

I eagerly searched around the sheepfold, but there was nothing. It's late at night, where did this guy go?

Anxious, she ran back to Yao's house and called Zhao Ying to come out and look for it together.

Zhao Ying took out a binoculars from her bag, "Don't worry, I have night vision binoculars here."

"Why didn't you take it out earlier?" Wu Zhongyuan took the binoculars and turned around and ran out.

Climb up the haystack and look around with a telescope, but this telescope is very complicated and needs to be adjusted, and he doesn't know how to do it.

After Zhao Ying came up, she adjusted the binoculars and looked around slowly. When looking to the southwest, Zhao Ying seemed to have noticed something. After making some adjustments, she handed the binoculars to Wu Zhongyuan, "There."

Wu Zhongyuan took the telescope and looked to the southwest. Through the telescope, he found Abo. Abo was moving to the southwest, not walking slowly, but running fast.

"Where is it going?" Wu Zhongyuan asked eagerly.

Zhao Ying didn't answer, because she couldn't answer Wu Zhongyuan's question, and only he knew where Abo was going.

"What do these numbers mean?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again. There are several rows of numbers on the lens of the telescope, some are fixed numbers, and some are constantly changing.

"Azimuth and distance, as well as the moving speed of the object," Zhao Ying said, "It is now five kilometers away."

"You stay here, I'll go after you." Wu Zhongyuan slid down the haystack and ran to the southwest.

Wu Zhongyuan has night vision, but Zhao Ying does not. When she got down from the haystack, Wu Zhongyuan had disappeared into the darkness.

Wu Zhongyuan performed lightness kung fu and ran with all his strength. It is not known where Apo is going, but one thing is certain, that is, since Abo is running, it means that its purpose is very clear, and it is going directly to a certain place .

In the past few days, the moon has been lost, the surroundings are very dark, and the night vision ability can't see very far. Therefore, every few miles he runs, Wu Zhongyuan will pick up the binoculars and take a look to determine the approximate direction of Abo's movement. Look, its destination is probably those three mountains in the distance.

After running for more than ten miles, Wu Zhongyuan stopped, and the motorcycle he had abandoned before was still at the foot of the hill.

After thinking about it, he continued to run without riding a motorcycle. One of the reasons was that he was worried that the sound of the motorcycle would disturb Apo. Another reason was that he was not sure if there was any positioning device installed by those people on the motorcycle.

There are not only the three mountain peaks in the distance, but also some smaller earth mountains. After more than ten minutes, Apo disappeared behind one of the small earth mountains.

Seeing this situation, Wu Zhongyuan ran faster and rushed to the high place of the earth mountain, and found that Abo was not around here. He looked again with a telescope, and saw that Abo had already run to the foot of the northernmost mountain.

At this time, the distance between the two was about five kilometers. Before that, he only knew that goats could run faster than sheep, but he didn't expect them to run so fast.

Apo arrived at the foot of the mountain and started to turn west. Although the three peaks had few vegetation, they also had shrubs and weeds. Before he could chase after him, Apo's figure had disappeared on the west side of the northernmost mountain.

Wu Zhongyuan used lightness kung fu to the extreme and ran desperately. At this time, he was able to confirm that the destination of Apo's trip was the clue.

More than ten minutes later, Wu Zhongyuan rushed to the foot of the mountain on the north side out of breath. He was just about to turn west, but found that Abo appeared on a piece of bluestone not far away.

The location of the bluestone is definitely not the destination of Apo's trip. This guy should have done what he wanted to do, and then turned around and came back.

When Wu Zhongyuan saw Abo, Abo also saw him. Wu Zhongyuan has been taking care of it these days, so Abo is not very wary of him. After seeing him, he shook his stubby little tail at him and jumped off. Qingshi, run back.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't follow Abo anymore, this guy must have gone home.

There was a time difference of more than ten minutes between when Apo disappeared and when he rushed over. During these ten minutes, Apo must have gone somewhere or done something. Where did you go and what did you do?

With Apo's moving speed, it can reach almost all the areas on the west side of the mountain in ten minutes. With such a large area, the possibility of finding something is extremely small with aimless search.

It took me half an hour to search around, but I didn't find anything unusual nearby. There were no deep pits or caves.

It was expected that he found nothing, after all, he didn't even know what he was looking for.

One can imagine the mood on the return journey, depressed and regretful, it would be fine if he didn't go back to have dinner, and he could follow Apo to find the clues he needed.

In addition to being depressed, I was more puzzled. What was Apo doing here at night?

After these days of contact, he also has a little understanding of Apo's temper. Abo is very smart, and he will even pretend to be dead when he encounters danger, but his IQ has not exceeded the limit of goat IQ. It's no good for a slaughterhouse to play dead.

Besides, Apo is not the kind of high-minded goat. If he was a human, he must be a thick-skinned old fritter who puts interests first.

This kind of sheep must not be profitable early, if it is not beneficial, it will never run out at night.

The first thing Wu Zhongyuan thought of was food. Is there any food that Apo particularly likes on this mountain?

But he quickly denied his own thoughts. There were three reasons. First, Apo only stayed on the mountain for more than ten minutes. In such a short time, he couldn't eat a few mouthfuls of even the best food.The second is that recently Abo has been enjoying the treatment of a sick child, and what he eats is concentrated food, so he should not be hungry.The last reason is that Apo's mind is not on food at all now, it is the goat's estrus season, and he is thinking about playing hooligans all day long.

I can't figure out why, so I can only give up. This trip is considered to be in vain, not only in vain, but also has negative effects, because Apo knows that he is following behind, and Abo will be more cautious when he comes back in the future.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't go back directly, but took a detour to the east bank of the river. The middle-aged Taoist had stayed under the tree for a long time that day, and his baggage was probably hidden there.

This is a poplar tree, which is very common in this area. Poplar trees have a great feature. This kind of tree does not have many branches, and the tree body is relatively tall. This poplar tree has a thickness of 30 m high.

Since he came here with a purpose to search, the first thing Wu Zhongyuan thought of was whether the burden would be hidden on the tree by the middle-aged Taoist. When he looked up, he vaguely saw something hanging from a high tree branch. Things, because there are many branches around, can't see very clearly.

Wu Zhongyuan can climb trees, but this is the first time he has climbed so high. It is more than 20 meters high, which is equivalent to the height of a seven-story building. Fortunately, he did not climb in vain.

Going down to the ground, I opened the bag and checked the contents. The first thing I saw was the iron ball that Mr. Li said. When I unscrewed it, there was a white jade stone inside.

In addition to the iron ball, there was a change of clothes in the bundle, as well as some gold jewelry and some cash.

The things in the baggage are quite complicated, including three small bottles, one is a jade bottle, and the other two are porcelain bottles. They are all old things from the outside. When you shake them, they are all filled with granular things. I took off the stopper of one of them and smelled it, and it smelled like medicine.

In addition to these, there are two books in the package, both of which are modern books, one is "Rare Metal Metallurgy" and the other is "Metal Exploration". Should be checked often.

After checking, put everything in the backpack and go back.

Back in the village, Zhao Ying was waiting anxiously. Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's return, she rushed to greet her, "The sheep have been back for a long time, where have you been?"

"I went to the other side of the river." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Wu Zhongyuan had mentioned this to her before, so Zhao Ying knew what he was looking for, "Did you find it?"

Wu Zhongyuan nodded.

Zhao Ying didn't ask what was in the bag, but pointed to Abo and asked, "Did you find the clue you need?"

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, and briefly told her what happened before.

After listening to Wu Zhongyuan's speech, Zhao Ying was also puzzled, "In your opinion, why did it go there?"

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head again, "I'm not a sheep, how do I know what it's thinking?"

Zhao Ying wanted to help, and mentioned several possibilities for Wu Zhongyuan's reference, but what she said were all Wu Zhongyuan thought of and ruled out before.

Finally, Zhao Ying thought of another possibility, "Is there any plant on that mountain that has a medicinal effect similar to viagra?"

Wu Zhongyuan frowned and looked at her.

"What do you think I'm doing? You see, it hasn't been idle for the past few days, and its kidney deficiency is normal." Zhao Ying laughed.

Wu Zhongyuan naturally wouldn't believe Zhao Ying's speculation, "Okay, it's getting late, go back to sleep."

Zhao Ying smiled, took the binoculars, turned and left.

Wu Zhongyuan slept next to the haystack as usual.

He got up early the next day and continued to wait for the observation, but the result of the observation made him frown. The ewe had not been very close to Apo before, but for some reason, his attitude towards it was obviously much better today...
