Looking down the sound, in a deep pit of around two meters, Stone found Liangzi.
Stone put a strong rope into the pit, pulled out Liangzi.
"The flock was robbed by three strangers. These men were holding knives. They chased me. I was afraid. I jumped into the pit and hid." Liangzi said.
"Go, find the flock!" Stone and Liangzi prepared the slings for throwing stones, chased the fresh mark of the sheep on the ground and the smell of sheep dung.
This kind of sling was a must-have tool for shepherds. The structure of the tool is very simple, two cords connect a leather bowl in the middle, small rocks can be placed in the leather bowl, and the ends of the cords are grasped by one hand, one end of the cord is loosened after some loops, and the rocks inside the leather bowl will fly to the target specified by the shepherds. If it is a stone, it usually falls in front of the disobedient sheep, the sound of the roks hitting the earth and the dusts scar the sheep, let them turn back or stop; if it is the earth clod, sometimes directly hit on the disobedient sheep's head.
After chasing about two hours, the two guys saw the flock far away. There was a man on the front and two men on two sides of the flock, and gathered the sheep to walk slowly toward the desert.
The little brothers discussed a while, and quietly detoured to the front of the flock, looking for a ditch that was opened by a mountain torrent, and took out the sickles and cut some thorny plants on the edge of the ditch.
Then, in front of them, two bundles of hemp ropes were placed, and many rocks were collected. Each boy installed a rock in his sling.
At this time, the man who walked in front of the flock had found the little brother, holding the knife, screaming, and running towards the two kids.
Liang Zi launched a piece of rock, hit the man's foot, it is possible the foot bone was broken, the man shouted and crouched down.
At the same time, the brothers used their noses and lips to make a sharp voice, and the flocks ran everywhere.
Two people on both sides of the flock also pulled out the knife and ran toward the two small guys. Stone threw out a rock and hit the chest of one of them. The man felt down.
Another man hesitated a little, and the rock of Liang Zi also flew over, but, unfortunately or fortunately, did not hit that man.
The man continued to run, and soon he arrived at the front of the two children. He jumped up and slashed his knife and cut down, but he felt into the gravel prepared by the stone and Liang Zi.
The two children picked up some large stones and threw them into the ditch, then separated. They kept the two ends of the hemp rope, kneeling on the ground, hiding in the tall spines and grasses.
An arrow that was shot by the man at the back of the flock hit in the earth in front of the place where the younger brother hide.
The man ran to the front of the little brother and jumped over the trench.
The two brothers pulled the rope straight.
The man was tripped over by the rope and felt down.
Two brothers picked up the stones threw them to that man.
The man may be stunned, kneeling on the ground, and the blood flew out from his ear.
Two brothers were a little scared. They picked up the knives and bows and rushed back with their flock.
It became dark. Fortunately, the younger brothers were familiar with all the terrains of this area. The flock also knew the direction. Under the leadership of the head sheep, they arrived at the home village without delay.
Fortunately, those people did not follow the kids. Stone and Liangzi saw a few torches in the distance. When they approached, they saw Hou Ye, Liu Hutou, Auntie Zhao, Zhao Di and Black Eggs were waiting them.
Stone and Liangzi told what had happened to them. Liu Hutou said: "Those people are from north, they are very dangerous!"
