PDLP Chapter 985 The Ram Strikes
Chapter 985 The Ram Strikes
In a thick patch of grass, two people were busily changing into their ghillie suits.
Oda deftly unfolded the two ghillie suits and quickly put them on.
Then, he picked some weeds from the bushes next to him and wove them into two straw hats to wear on his head.
"Ugh, this outfit is so hot!" Jiang Jiyun complained as she struggled to pull the ghillie suit up.
Her whole body was tightly wrapped up, as if she were covered by a thick quilt, making it hard for her to breathe.
Xiao Tian quickly comforted her, "If you're feeling too hot, go inside and rest for a bit. I'll stay outside and observe carefully. It's not like we're fighting; I can handle it on my own."
However, Jiang Jiyun did not want to leave Xiaotian alone to work here.
She said firmly, "Brother Xiaotian, you can't underestimate me. If you can endure it, I definitely can too. If it gets too hot, I'll drink a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water. It's a good thing to prevent heatstroke. You should also keep some with you."
Xiao Tian smiled helplessly, gently patted Jiang Jiyun's head, and instructed, "Alright then, but you must be careful about your safety."
After saying that, Xiao Tian turned and ran away, leaving Jiang Jiyun sitting alone on the grass.
Jiang Jiyun simply plopped down on the grass, took out a large meat bun from his backpack, and began to eat it in big bites.
Her appetite is truly astonishing now; she just ate a pancake and still wasn't full.
Moreover, now is the perfect time for her to supplement her nutrition and grow taller, so she should seize the opportunity to eat some meat so she can grow taller.
She now drinks milk and takes calcium supplements every day, which has greatly helped her grow taller. She is now almost 155 cm tall.
In the past six months, she has grown quite fast, so much so that the pants her sister-in-law made for her have become noticeably shorter.
Just as she finished eating and was waiting for the smell on her body to dissipate, she was thinking about how to release some animals to attract the attention of the sentries so that she could sneak into the mansion unnoticed.
Jiang Jiyun saw several oxcarts slowly approaching from the south in the distance.
Jiang Jiyun hid in the bushes and discovered that the oxcarts were loaded with vegetables, rice, and meat.
She was secretly delighted, immediately guessing that these people were definitely going to deliver these supplies to that mansion.
"This is truly a stroke of luck!" Jiang Jiyun thought excitedly, then quickly pulled his head back and carefully searched the space for an animal suitable for this mission.
After searching for a while, her gaze finally settled on one of the mischievous rams in the flock.
This ram particularly liked to lift things with its head, and it was quite strong. When Jiang Jiyun saw it, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips. He took a deep breath, released his fingers lightly, and the animal-attracting powder accurately hit the sack.
One of the people escorting the truck heard the news, and she reacted extremely quickly.
Almost the instant the animal-attracting powder hit the sack, he quickly raised his gun, looked around warily, and shouted, "Who goes there? Show yourself!"
Jiang Jiyun hid inside the space, quietly listening to the rattling gunshots coming from outside.
After a while, the gunfire gradually subsided.
Those men must have put away their guns after confirming that there was nothing unusual around them.
She heard someone say, "Don't scare yourself. This is the mountains, there are so many trees, birds and small animals in the forest. That commotion was probably just a bird being startled and flying away. Let's hurry on our way, it's so hot today!"
These people were speaking Chinese with an accent, and judging from their accents, they were probably from this area.
She had intended to kill them when they were off guard, but she was worried that doing so would alert them and cause unnecessary trouble.
Just then, the oxcart slowly approached the location where Jiang Jiyun was.
Jiang Jiyun concentrated and exerted force from a distance, violently throwing the ram away.
The ram, which was forcefully butting the ewes in the same pen with its head, briefly lost its balance in mid-air and then crashed heavily onto the grass.
The sudden turn of events left the ram somewhat bewildered. It stood frozen in place, blinking, seemingly still reeling from the impact.
However, in just a moment, its nose caught an extremely tempting scent.
"Baa..." The ram let out a low bleat, as if confirming the source of the fragrance.
"Baa..." It then made a second sound, its voice revealing urgency and longing.
It turned out that the person escorting the cart found it strange after hearing the sheep bleating.
However, before they could think any further, a huge ram, as big as a mountain, charged towards them.
Before the people could react, the ram's impact was so great that it overturned the first oxcart.
The oxcart creaked and groaned from the impact, then crashed to the ground, scattering its cargo everywhere.
The people escorting the delivery truck were stunned by what they saw.
They stared wide-eyed at the sheep in disbelief, muttering repeatedly, "Is this a sheep? How can it be so big?"
In a panic, someone picked up a gun, ready to shoot the sheep.
However, the sheep seemed to sense the danger; it nimbly turned around and quickly fled the scene.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the dense forest, as if it had never existed.
Before the man with the gun could even aim, the sheep had already vanished without a trace.
He stared in astonishment in the direction the sheep had disappeared, muttering to himself, "It...it actually ran away?"
Another person walked to the tilted oxcart, looked at the mess on the ground, and said with lingering fear, "This is really like seeing a ghost today! Let's hurry up and pack our things, I'm starting to worry that there might be something unclean in this forest."
Taking advantage of the moment when their attention was diverted by the ram, Jiang Jiyun darted out of the bushes and climbed onto the last car.
Right after she successfully boarded the vehicle, she vanished without a trace.
Xiao Tian had just found a secluded spot to hide when he suddenly heard a burst of gunfire.
Not long after, he saw a squad of about ten people running hurriedly toward the direction from which the gunfire had come.
A sense of unease rose in Xiao Tian's heart; he worried that the gunshots might be related to Jiang Jiyun.
Just as he was about to leave with the group, he suddenly felt something was off about his space.
He stopped alertly and took the note out of the box.
Jiang Jiyun told him that she was safely inside the space at the moment, and that the gunshots were actually caused by someone discovering the sheep she had thrown out and firing.
