One day I woke up very early, about six o'clock, and there was a faint light outside the window. Somehow, when I woke up, I found that I was not very happy, and I was really confused for no reason. So I put on my clothes secretly, walked out of the room quietly, and took my car keys with me.

I have a bad habit that I haven’t changed for a long time but has only gotten worse: driving around when I feel bad. Of course, it's not drag racing. I usually don't drive more than 80 yards, so I'm relatively self-aware. However, as a woman, my driving skills are also limited here. I can only drive forward, but reversing is extremely laborious. So, there is no doubt that something unexpected happened when I drove out of the city and towards a narrow concrete road that I couldn't even name - a shepherd and a group of white sheep appeared in front of me, a distance away My car is less than twenty meters away. My heart twitched tightly, I screamed, and I hit the steering wheel hard. "Boom..." There is no doubt that no matter how much I want to save my extremely poor reflexes, I am still powerless to hit something.

Strangely enough, when I heard the car collided with something, my always tense heart suddenly relaxed, as if I had received a certain degree of release that could be called "relief". I opened the car door and got out of the car with the determination to find out.

"You...you hit my scarecrow!"

When I saw clearly what I hit, the shepherd ran over in a hurry and helped up his scarecrow. scarecrow. "Scarecrow, you...how are you? Does it hurt?"

The scarecrow twisted his arm with a bitter look on his face. The shepherd became even more anxious. "Are you in so much pain that you can't even speak?"

"No, no," the Scarecrow shook his head and finally stood upright with his own strength, "You know , I'm just a scarecrow, I... I don't have what you call feelings, I don't feel pain."

"I'm sorry," the shepherd seemed to have reacted. He lowered his head slightly and whispered, " I’m really sorry, I forgot again.”

When I discovered that what I bumped into was neither a person nor a sheep, but a scarecrow made of straw, I was really relieved and thankful. The murder he pictured in his mind did not happen. However, when I witnessed the conversation between the shepherd and the scarecrow, I felt guilty for my thoughts. I seemed to have deeply hurt the shepherd's heart. My collision must have frightened him, making him extremely worried and anxious. At the same time, I also severely hurt the Scarecrow. Although I didn't hurt him, I did hit his painful spot. This was even more disgusting than hurting him.

Maybe I was really too guilty, so when a strong white sheep rushed towards the scarecrow, I blocked it without hesitation. There is no doubt that I was knocked to the ground by the sheep, and the pain from my butt was really clear.

"Ah!" Seeing such a situation, the shepherd cried out in disbelief. "You...you are injured!"

The shepherd ran towards me and helped me up. "Thank you for protecting my scarecrow, and I'm sorry that my sheep hurt you."

What a tongue twister! I originally wanted to ask the shepherd some questions, but the scarecrow rushed over and thanked me profusely.

"Yeah, you're bleeding!" Suddenly, the scarecrow pointed at my arm and said.

I looked at my arm and it was really bleeding. I pursed my lips and said it was okay.

"How can this be okay! Although I am just a scarecrow with no pain, I have still seen the pain on your human faces after being injured. It seems very uncomfortable." The scarecrow retorted.

"After all, you were injured because you were trying to save my scarecrow. No matter what, please let me bandage your wound. Our home is nearby, and it won't take long." Shepherd said.

"Well, if you leave like this, both the shepherd and I will feel uneasy, so no matter what, please let our shepherd bandage your wounds!" the Scarecrow emphasized.

It’s hard to refuse such hospitality! I, the perpetrator, was actually invited into the shepherd’s residence as a benefactor. It was a small wooden house, with a large circular sheep pen outside the house, a small vegetable garden and an ancient well with a half-covered cover. The shepherd drove all the sheep into the sheepfold, locked it, and said to himself: "Lock you in here tightly, so as not to eat my scarecrow."

While the shepherd said it himself When it came to this topic, I quickly asked out the doubts in my heart. "Shepherd...you...why do you raise sheep and be with the scarecrow at the same time? The sheep will eat the scarecrow!"

The shepherd looked at the scarecrow and then at the pen The sheep got up and replied: "Actually, I have been facing this problem, especially in winter, when the grass and trees are withered, the sheep are so hungry that they will go crazy and eat my scarecrow. With me, the scarecrow suffers It’s a lot of pain, but he is my best friend after all, and I can’t bear to let him go.”

“What about the sheep? You can choose not to raise these sheep!” I said.

The shepherd sighed helplessly: "But I need to exchange these sheep for money to make a living!"

I sighed heavily and followed the shepherd into the house. The scarecrow was in the house. After taking out the medical instruments, the shepherd concentrated on disinfecting and bandaging my wounds.

"Your sheep will eat him." I pointed to the scarecrow standing nearby and said.

The sudden words made the whole room feel cold. The hands that were bandaging me became a little stiff and their movements became sluggish. At this time, the scarecrow took the gauze from the shepherd's hand and continued to bandage my wound. There seemed to be anger written in his eyes.

"Although you blocked the greedy sheep for me and saved my life, it does not mean that you can talk nonsense in front of me and the shepherd!" said the Scarecrow, "I hope Don't continue this topic of yours!"

"Don't be so rude!" The speechless shepherd finally recovered and criticized the Scarecrow, "He is right, you and I spend time together. The longer it is, the more likely it is that you will be eaten by those sheep. One day... one day, when neither of us notices, a greedy sheep will come close to you and eat you. "

"No, I am not afraid as long as you are here. Even if such a thing happens, I will not regret being with you."

"You are so stupid!"

"Isn't it the same with you? You obviously gave up on me so you wouldn't have to worry day and night, but you still didn't abandon me. Instead, you tried your best to protect me."

"I'm afraid that I will guard you." I can’t keep you, because I can’t let go of those sheep now.”

“It doesn’t matter, I’ll wait for you. I believe that one day you will no longer be trapped by sheep, and you will no longer be burdened by me. "

...

What can I say? I can't say anything anymore, so I have to cut off the excess gauze myself, and then say thank you. Sorry, go home.

After being sent out by the shepherd and the scarecrow, I unconsciously looked at the sheepfold. Those sheep were really strong and fat, and no one could bear to give them up! In comparison, the scarecrow is much thinner. I really don’t know if the shepherd has the ability to protect him throughout his life. I hope it can!
