Chapter 8 little carls i.

The geese spent the night at the North Headland of Öland before heading inland.Just as they were about to approach the first group of reef islands, there was a sudden bang, and the sea water under them suddenly turned black.The wild geese quickly landed on the sea.But before they landed on the water, a great storm from the west had already overtaken them.The strong wind blows the flock of geese far away towards the boundless sea. The wild geese managed to land on the sea, which was roaring and roaring, and huge waves came from the emerald sea, one wave higher than the other.The wild geese are not very afraid of the crests and valleys. Instead, they think it is a great pleasure, because they don't need to exert their energy to swim by themselves, but can swing up and down with the crests and valleys, just like children playing on a swing Generally elated.But the poor land birds, swept away by the wind, cried out enviously, "You swimmers have escaped this disaster!"

However, the geese were not completely out of danger.What's worse, bobbing up and down the water inevitably makes them very sleepy and drowsy.It is very dangerous to fall asleep in this situation, so A-Ka kept shouting: "Wild geese, don't fall asleep! If you fall asleep, you will leave the flock!" Although the wild geese tried their best not to fall asleep, they were so tired after all, they still fell asleep one after another, and even A-Ka almost fell asleep.At this moment, she suddenly noticed a round dark object protruding from the crest of a wave. "Seal! Seal! Seal!" A-Ka yelled desperately, and the wild geese rushed to the sky with their wings flapping.When the last wild goose had just left the water, the seal had already approached and almost bit the toe of the wild goose.This is really a close escape!

The boy suddenly felt that the wind was stronger than before.He looked up, and there was a barren and barren cliff with strange rocks two or three meters away from him.The wild geese flew straight towards the cliff!The boy felt terrified and thought, wouldn't he smash himself to pieces? But when they flew to the front of the mountain, the boy saw clearly that there was a semicircular hole in the cliff.The wild geese flew into the entrance of the cave in single file. In a blink of an eye, everything was saved, and they arrived at a safe place. The first thing these travelers want to do after rejoicing is to check whether all their traveling companions have escaped safely.It turned out that everyone else was there, and only Kaksi was missing. The wild geese were not worried about this, because Kaksi was old and smart, and she would definitely be able to find them.

The geese began to look around the cave, happy to find such a comfortable and spacious place to rest for the night.At this moment, Yakexi suddenly saw several bright green light spots in a dark corner of the cave. "That's the eye," A-Ka exclaimed.The geese rushed towards the entrance of the cave immediately.But Thumb's eyesight was much better than that of the geese in the dark, and he yelled for them to come back, and said, "Don't run, there's nothing to be afraid of, just a few lovely sheep in the corner!" The geese came up to the flock, greeted them, and curtseyed to them.

"It's very wrong for us to break into your house without permission, please forgive me." A-Ka explained, "But we also came here out of helplessness, we were blown here by the strong wind. We just wanted to find a safe place Have a good night's sleep." After she finished speaking, no sheep spoke for a long time.However, several sheep could clearly be heard moaning deeply.At last one of the ewes spoke up, and said in a melancholy tone: "Well, it's not a safe place to stay here either. We can't be as hospitable as we used to be. But, anyway, when you leave May I treat you to something to eat before coming here?" She led the geese to a large pit filled with clear water, beside which there was a large pile of chaff and grass clippings.She treats them to a good meal.To the geese, these things were obviously a good dinner.They immediately ran to the pile of hay and began to peck at it.After letting go of their bellies and having a full meal, the geese stood up and prepared to sleep as usual.At this time, a big ram stood up and walked in front of them, saying: "This island is called Little Karls Island. Only sheep and seabirds live here. We live in such caves all year round and live our own lives." Life. The place here is quite spacious, but unfortunately last winter was extremely cold, and the sea was also frozen. Three foxes ran over from the ice and have been living here since then.”

"Oh, so that's the case. Does the fox dare to attack you?" "Well, that's not true, they dare not dare in the daytime," said the ram, "but at night when we sleep in the cave, they sneak up and attack us. As soon as we are asleep, they jump at us." Come here. The foxes killed almost all the sheep in the other caves. Now we are the only sheep left here, and we are exhausted, and we don't have the strength to keep an eye on them all night." said the big ram. Completely let out a long sigh. After hearing what the big ram said, Aka realized that this place was indeed a very dangerous place.Even so, Akka was still reluctant to go back into the great storm.The taste of being in a big storm is really unbearable.After thinking for a moment, she turned to Thumb and asked him if he would like to go to the entrance of the cave to watch for everyone.

Although the boy didn't quite like not to sleep, but it was better than the pain he had just endured when flying in the big storm, so he promised not to sleep.He walked to the entrance of the cave and stood guard with his eyes open. The boy sat there for a while, when he saw three foxes sneaking up the steep slope along the mountain road.He immediately ran into the hole with flying steps, shook the big ram's horns vigorously to wake the ram up, and at the same time, rode on the ram's back with a stride. "Get up, Big Ram, and go! We're going to frighten the foxes, and let them try their best," said the boy.

The fox had already run to the entrance of the cave, and was approaching stealthily inside.The boy sat on the back of the ram and spotted the fox sneaking in quietly. "Go straight ahead!" The boy bit his ear at the ram.The big ram threw its head forward violently and pushed the first fox straight out. "Go left!" The boy turned the ram's big head in the right direction.The ram gave the second fox a hard jab with its horn, and that fox rolled several somersaults down the hill.The third fox ran away. "I think they've had enough tonight!" said the boy. "Yes, I think so too," replied the big ram, "now lie down on my back, get under my fur, and sleep comfortably!"

The next day, the big ram went around the island with the boy on his back, showing him the scenery of Little Kars Island.The island was originally a huge rocky reef, surrounded by steep cliffs and flat on the top, like a huge house. To the east of the island is Gotland, and to the southwest is Great Kars Island. The appearance is similar to that of Little Kars Island, with little difference.The ram walked to the edge of the cliff, and the boy looked down from the cliff. He saw that there were densely packed bird nests on the cliff, and in the blue water below, various seabirds were catching food freely in the sea.

"It's a wonderful place," said the boy. "It's a beautiful place where you live!" "Yes." said the big ram.After a while, he said again: "When you walk here alone, you must pay attention to the cracks under your feet. There are several large cracks on this mountain. If someone slips and falls, he will die." Then the big ram came to the beach with the boy on his back.Boys find it very beautiful and mesmerizing.The more he looked at it, the more he didn't want to leave. Although the scenery on the beach is beautiful, the boys still prefer the top of the mountain.Because there are some horrible scenes here, and the carcasses of sheep can be seen everywhere.He saw the complete skeleton left after the meat was eaten up, and there were also half pieces of corpses with blood and flesh, and some corpses that hadn't even eaten a bite were lying on the ground intact.These foxes were very cruel indeed. They caught their prey and tortured them to death, not for eating but for fun, and the boy was horrified at the sight of this.The ram didn't stop in front of the corpse, but walked over silently.But soon he said: "Any intelligent and capable person will not be indifferent to seeing these horrors, unless the fox is properly punished."

"Old man, you don't necessarily want me to deal with those lawless guys." The boy said. "A person as small as you but so clever can set many things right and do something earth-shattering." The boys felt sorry for the sheep's misfortune and wanted to help them. "I must discuss this matter with Akka and Morton the Gander," he thought, "Maybe they can give me a good idea." After a while, the white gander carried the boy on his back and wandered carefreely on the ridge. He didn't hide, but walked forward with his head held high.The boy was lying flat on the back of the goose, his eyes looking up at the blue sky.The gander and the boy were so at ease that they did not notice that the three foxes had also climbed to the top of the hill.The gander limped forward with one wing still hanging on the ground. When the foxes were about to get close to the gander, and were about to jump up and rush towards him, the gander flapped his wings, trying to fly into the sky, but he couldn't.At the last moment when the three foxes jumped at the goose gander, the goose dodged to the side, and the fox jumped to nothing.The gander was only a few paces ahead, and the poor creature was still limping and galloping desperately.The boy rode upside down on the back of the goose and yelled at the fox: "You foxes, you are so fat from eating mutton that you can't even catch up with a goose!" His shout angered the fox. Three foxes, they were furious and rushed forward desperately. The big white goose flew straight towards the deepest big gap. He came to the edge of the gap, flapped his wings again, and flew over in a flash. After flying over the big gap, the gander still hurried forward.But before running a few meters away, the boy patted the gander's neck and said, "Now you can stop, Morton." At this moment, they heard crazy howling and claws scratching behind them The sound of the rock, and then the heavy sound of the body falling to the bottom of the valley.The fox was never seen again.
