When Lin Shao was on the West Emperor Mountain, he seriously asked the Chong Diao to bring him to see the Jufu clan and the Luoluo clan who were now living there,
At the same time, he also felt Wu Shuo's ability to spread gossip,
The two clans had actually heard of him,
Lin Shao did not tell them about the request of the Afflicted Sheep, so as not to make them worry for nothing,
He just politely gave them some greeting gifts,
While he was at it, he also learned about the current living situation of the two clans.
However,
There was indeed no place for the Afflicted Sheep to live on the West Emperor Mountain.
After returning from the West Emperor Mountain,
Lin Shao's mood became even more depressed.
Previously, he was troubled by the fact that he couldn't figure out what the mission target wanted,
This time, he clearly knew what the Afflicted Sheep wanted,
But he didn't know what he should do.
He had now returned to Xun Mountain,
But he didn't immediately tell the Afflicted Sheep Clan about this news.
If he told them like this..,
It would be too disappointing for them.
Lin Shuo thought about it and found the little Taotie who was playing with his father high up in the air.
When the little taotie saw him coming, he stopped playing and ran over to hold Lin Shao's hand. He asked him, "Did the mission of the Afflicted Sheep go smoothly?"
"I don't know how to say it either." Lin Shao hugged the soft little fatty tightly. "But I didn't forget you.
I ordered two pots of candied date and chestnut cake for you. I also brought a portion for your father to eat. Come and talk to me. "
"Okay!"
Before Lin Shao changed to the translation device,
There was no other way..,
He could only chat with the little taotie,
He didn't expect that he would get used to it after chatting,
Whenever there was something that he couldn't figure out, he would talk to the little taotie. Although this child only knew how to eat, sometimes he could still say a few words of his own. Moreover, Lin Shao didn't need him to say much, he just needed to listen. Sometimes, he just wanted to complain, the little taotie was big-hearted and forgot about it the next day. At that time, he would even hug him for the sake of food.
Seeing Lin Shao's answer, the little taotie seemed to feel that he was not in a good mood. He took the initiative to nestle in Lin Shao's arms and slowly cut the chestnut cake to eat, not forgetting to reach out his little fat hand to feed Lin Shao a piece.
Taotie, on the side, asked, "What's wrong with the Afflicted Sheep clan?"
Lin Shao sighed and told him about his experience today.
"It's normal to want to go home," commented Taotie, "but I didn't oppress them. They can't snatch food in Xun Mountain, I don't care about anything else."
"I naturally know."
Lin Shaodao said, "The Afflicted Sheep were mostly grateful to Taotie and didn't have the slightest resentment. I tried to feel their mood, probably a kind of indelible uneasiness."
They didn't dare to do anything, but at the same time, they felt that everything they did was wrong, so there was really nothing to do. This was the "boredom" of the Afflicted Sheep clan, or it could be said that they were desperate.
The Afflicted Sheep clan also wanted to change all this, so they transferred all this to their longing for the West Emperor Mountain. They always felt that it would be good to leave Xun Mountain and return to their original place.
But this road was also impassable.
After Taotie finished listening, he stuck out his tongue and licked his exposed teeth. He shook his head, indicating that he couldn't understand the mood of the Afflicted Sheep clan.
"I don't understand," he said, "but the food you brought is not bad."
The little taotie loved to eat sweet things, but his father was not picky about food and ate everything. Lin Shao also brought a little bit of everything.
"Speaking of which, I still owe you a favor before," said Taotie.
"This time, I may be able to show you the way. Anyway, you can't do anything, so you might as well try my method."
"Ah?
What method? "
Taotie glanced at him and said, "Come with me, I'll take you to a place, and you'll know."
Lin Shao went with Taotie, but he didn't give the Afflicted Sheep clan a clear answer for more than ten days. He only came once and told them about the current situation of the West Emperor Mountain, and it would be very difficult to move back.
"I know." The chief of the Afflicted Sheep clan looked a little sad. "Because I was worried, I asked Wu Shuo about the situation there a long time ago, and he also told me.
If the West Emperor Mountain was empty, I would take the whole clan and go back. It's because it's difficult, I thought the messenger would have a way. "
Lin Shao replied, "I'm trying."
The chief of the Afflicted Sheep clan sighed and comforted him in turn. "If it's not possible, then forget it. Messenger, go do other things. My clan … forget it."
Days passed like this, and soon, it was the last day of the mission.
Today, Lin Shao went up the mountain early in the morning. The chief of the Afflicted Sheep clan was used to seeing him and asked, "Is there any progress today?"
For the first time, he nodded and said, "Can you come with me?
I have a gift that I've been preparing for a long time, and I want to give it to the Afflicted Sheep clan. "
One by one, the Afflicted Sheep gathered together following the Afflicted Sheep Patriarch's call and walked in the direction pointed out by the treetops.
"I've lived in Xun Mountain for so long, but in fact, even I don't dare to say that I know the whole Xun Mountain. My clan's range of activity is very small, and we generally live in places where there are no fruits growing. Moreover, we don't go out often." The chief of the Afflicted Sheep clan followed Lin Shao and sighed with emotion. "I don't even know the road here. If I didn't follow you, I might have gotten lost."
Lin Shao didn't respond after hearing this, but the corners of his mouth curved into a smile.
Several streams in Xun Mountain flowed down and gathered into a river at the foot of the mountain on the other side. Lin Shao remembered that this river was called Xun River in the system's introduction.
The Xun River in this section of the river was wide, and an island could be seen in the middle of the river. The island was slender, probably formed slowly by the accumulation of sand in the river.
"Come with me."
Lin Shao led the Afflicted Sheep clan through the road leading to the island in the middle of the river. The chief of the Afflicted Sheep clan looked at the road under his feet and felt that this road did not seem to be naturally formed.
"Taotie helped me make it," Lin Shao explained. "Because the river has a dry period and a high water period, the ground in this section of the road is slightly higher. However, you don't have to worry about the island. Taotie told me that the terrain there is slightly higher, and the water level there won't be much flooding."
"Taotie?"
When the chief of the Afflicted Sheep clan heard this sentence, his raised footsteps stopped.
"Yes."
The little Taotie was still okay. He was young and didn't know anything. His original body size was still within an acceptable level. He bounced around Xun Mountain and sometimes looked for the Afflicted Sheep clan to play. However, it was impossible for the Afflicted Sheep clan to not be afraid of the adult Taotie. If they were not afraid, how could they be so careful for so many years?
Lin Shao saw that they had arrived at the place and no longer kept them in suspense. He told them everything that he had been busy with in the past ten days.
"Sorry, it's not that I don't have a way to let everyone go back to the West Emperor Mountain, but I can't.
Whether it's for Ju Fu and Luoluo who already live there, it's also for the sake of the Afflicted Sheep clan. "Lin Shaodao continued," So after knowing all this, I can only think of other ways.
Naturally, I can't do so much by myself. It was Taotie who helped me. He gave me this island on Xun Mountain and helped me pave the road here.
Originally, there were only some weeds and shrubs on this island. I cleaned it up these days and sorted out the road. Then, I went to the West Emperor Mountain. With the consent of the clan there, I moved some trees over. They told me that these trees are easier to grow. Sorry, some old trees are not easy to move, so I moved these saplings. They still look small, but this kind of tree grows fast. It won't be long before it becomes lush. It will look a bit like the West Emperor Mountain.
I wanted to show it to you earlier, but it was more troublesome to clean up the place than I thought. I hurried and finished it yesterday. "
The Afflicted Sheep clan listened to his long speech and was stunned for a long time.
It wasn't until after a period of time that the chief of the Afflicted Sheep clan opened his mouth and said, "So... Does the Envoy mean that you want to give this island to us?"
"Yes," Lin Xiao nodded, "Not only this island, but also the forest beside the river. I'll give it all to you.
Because the trees over there do not produce fruit, I will give them all to you.
This was given by Taotie. He gave this to you and asked me to bring you a message by the way. "
"What message?"
"After Taotie and the Afflicted Sheep clan are separated, the well water will not interfere with the river water."
This sentence was concise and impolite, but the chief of the Afflicted Sheep clan was not angry at all.
He bowed his head to Lin Shao, and the whole Afflicted Sheep clan also bowed their heads along with the chief's action.
"Can the Envoy also bring a message for us?"
"Yes."
The chief of the Afflicted Sheep clan was silent for a while, and then said, "Thank you.
Thank you for the protection of the Taotie clan for so many years, even if you did not take the initiative.
However, the significance of your actions to my clan is not something that can be summed up with just a word of thanks. If it were not for being able to live in Xun Mountain, the Afflicted Sheep clan would have long ceased to exist.
The original kindness can no longer be repaid, and now everything is beyond words, so... Thank you. "
When Lin Shao relayed this sentence to Taotie, he had just said two words when he was immediately interrupted by Taotie.
"Okay, okay, it must be a lot of messy things. Don't say it, I don't want to hear it," Taotie turned his head away, "It doesn't make sense to know what it's going to say at the beginning.
The Afflicted Sheep clan is like this, I'm not used to their temperament anyway.
Besides, I didn't want to help them, so I spent so much effort to do these things. Otherwise, I wouldn't care about the messy worries and fears in their minds. It wasn't because I wanted to return your favor that I did this. So, you can keep the thanks of the Afflicted Sheep to yourself. "
"That's not necessary. I later took them to familiarize themselves with the environment over there. I received a basket of such words in the morning, so there's no need to say one more." Lin Shao sat on the haystack on one side, smiled, and continued, "The Afflicted Sheep are sensitive. They know these things even if I don't say anything.
In fact, their obsession is no longer in the West Emperor Mountain. As long as they really have a home that belongs to them, everything will be fine. "
In fact, the Afflicted Sheep clan had never had a fixed residence in Xun Mountain, so the appearance of the clan that Lin Shao saw before was so simple and crude. Because this was Taotie's territory, not theirs. They did not know when Taotie would come to the vicinity to look for food. At that time, the Afflicted Sheep clan would move away without saying anything. Although they said that they lived in Xun Mountain, it was no different from having no fixed residence.
