There are a lot of wild animals in the mountains and forests, and it is not uncommon to see wolves.
Although there are no large wolf packs gathering in the area from the Ba to Wu tribes, there are still a lot of three to five small wild wolves or lone wolves, but the threat to human activities is very small.
Feng and others answered the inquiries in a flurry. Almost twenty minutes passed, and the thunder and lightning in the sky moved to the northwest. The heavy rain slowly subsided. Soon the dark clouds dissipated, and the strong sun began to bake the earth again.
.
What a damn weather!
When the sun comes out, it can blind people's eyes, and after heavy rains, the ground is muddy. Heat waves evaporate under the sun, and the entire valley instantly turns into a big steamer.
Fortunately, after entering June, this kind of weather becomes less and less common, and only happens once every three to five days. In this way, after a day of exposure to the sun, the next day will be much dryer and more comfortable.
The crops in the farmland and the dense green weeds and thorns on the riverbank gradually grew stronger and older in such a hot and rainy environment. The entire river valley and the surrounding mountains gave off a strong sense of maturity.
Xu Chen went up the mountain today to prepare to pick chestnuts on a nearby mountainside. As soon as they climbed up, a sudden heavy rain drove them back before they even started.
Therefore, it seems that you have to wait until July and August to eat chestnuts. If you rush into the wild, you will eventually be punished.
The weather was fine in the next two days, and Xu Chen was not idle. He rode horseback to the river to check the situation. He conducted on-the-spot inspections and planned road construction plans based on the paths discovered by Feng and others.
Of course, he did not forget about Wolf Er, and even went to the place where he was said to have seen Wolf Er twice. However, he did not see the shadow of the wolf, but occasionally heard the howling of wild wolves from deep in the forest.
However, it was last winter that the two wolves escaped. After more than half a year, the wolves' howls could not be distinguished at all. Therefore, Xu Chen could not determine whether the second wolf was still living near the Ba tribe or whether he had died long ago.
Maybe.
Because he had brought the two wolves back to feed them since they were young, and they were raised in chains. They basically had no chance to move freely, had almost no experience in surviving in the wild, and had never learned to hunt by themselves. On weekdays, the entire tribe also
They all followed Xu Chen's request and never took the initiative to feed animals flesh and blood. They only ate cooked and roasted bones and grains and meats to constantly kill their wild nature.
Of course, Xu Chen's feeding method was basically successful. At least the two wolves never bit anyone until they grew up. However, their wild nature never faded. Sometimes they would grin at people and roar a few times, but a good beating would be enough.
Already.
Even if a group of children are led out to patrol the farmland, they can still roar and catch wild animals like two real dogs, obviously with a strong mentality of protecting their owners.
However, this kind of obedience does not mean that the two wolves can form a master-servant relationship with humans and live together, but that they are constantly trying to escape.
Especially when I hear wolves howling in the wild late at night, I will stretch my neck and howl a few times, which is very wild.
So later, when a group of children were playing together, the whole tribe fell into a surprise carnival because the wind brought back news about Xu Chen. The two wolves finally found a chance to escape successfully, and then disappeared without a trace.
Two wolves who can't hunt run into such a wild wilderness, and they will face an extremely cruel test of survival.
The first is how to catch food without starving to death.
The second is how to protect yourself from being eaten by other beasts.
The third is how to learn to get along and communicate with other wild wolves without being attacked and killed.
So when Xu Chen came back and found out that the two wolves had escaped, although Xu Chen said he was relaxed, he actually felt a little regretful and sad.
These two ignorant wolves, like two middle-aged teenagers, may pay a heavy price for their longing for freedom.
And he has been thinking about waiting and watching for a long time, hoping that after being beaten and tortured outside, the two wolves would come back and continue to live with humans, honestly accepting the reality and becoming two real dogs.
Unfortunately, the two wolves completely disappeared and there was no further news, and Xu Chen gradually forgot about it.
However, the discovery by Feng and others this time gave him some hope again.
In any case, he raised the two wolves from childhood, invested a lot of time in training, and developed a deep relationship with them.
The first time he brought two wolf cubs home, Ye even dared to point at the mother and a group of adults and angrily reprimand and cry in order to help him keep the two wolves.
Seeing that they were dying of hunger for several days, Ye cried and held his arm to prevent them from being thrown away.
Later, they managed to survive by feeding them shit.
Then they trained every morning and evening, beating them with branches, and even kicking them when they were angry, to watch them being bullied by a group of monkeys.
In the end, with various kinds of persistent feeding and training, the two little wolves gradually made great changes. They would wag their tails to please them when they were hungry, wanted to go out for a walk every day, and would lie down next to the lounge chair and lick them.
legs and toes, and occasionally nibbled on them, of course, in exchange for a few big feet.
In order to grind their teeth, they can only chew the wooden legs of wooden cages and cooling beds.
In order to take revenge, they chased a group of monkeys and bit them, causing the whole yard to be in a state of chaos.
On full-moon nights, they will also howl at the night sky, like two haws.
Time flies, and more than three years have passed in the blink of an eye. The two little wolves have grown from their ferocious and cute state into adult wolves with strong fur and ribs.
Although they have never learned to be dogs, they have still taken on the responsibility of looking after homes and homes, and have been recognized by the entire Ba ethnic group, men, women, and children. If people have something to eat, they have nothing less to eat.
The two wild wolves have completely become a part of the Ba tribe, bringing a lot of joy and joy to men, women, old and young.
Xu Chen is not a very nostalgic person.
But he was not as relaxed about the two wolves running away from home as he said on the surface, it was just that he didn't want a group of children to be beaten.
"Woo"
Xu Chen rode a horse and walked in the dense woods at the foot of the mountain, occasionally putting his fingers in his mouth and blowing a loud whistle.
This whistle is not only familiar to the two wolves since they were young, but also the two big eagles, the monkeys, and the horses, because they have grown up listening to it.
Unfortunately, his call did not receive any response.
Even after two or three days of fieldwork, he had not seen any wild wolves.
"boom"
In the dark night, lightning tore through the night sky, thunder exploded, and heavy rain poured down.
The heavy rain in the middle of the night inherited the usual violence of this era, pouring down from the sky like a bucket, rushing from the roof along the thatched eaves and falling into the gutters like a curtain of water.
Through the light of lightning, you can see that the entire world is completely water, and you can barely see beyond ten meters.
Although it was pouring with rain, the air was still extremely hot.
Xu Chen sat in front of the ceramic table in the room. The burning light of the pine trees in the ceramic lamp kept swaying in the rain and wind that came in from the door.
He held a small copper hammer in his hand and was gently tapping a piece of silver tin on a copper plate.
For Xu Chen, who does not have a rich night life, he is still not used to going to bed early, so he stays up until very late every night. If Ye Bu Lai pesters him to mate, he will pass the time by making handicrafts.
Of course, even if a little female savage comes to pester him for mating, he will usually be more selfless and enter the handicraft after finishing the work, because that will be the most indifferent sage time, he will feel refreshed, have no desires and desires, and can do it
To perfect selflessness.
Today's handwork seems a little absent-minded.
After banging on a tin bowl for nearly half an hour, it still didn't take shape.
It wasn't that he was upset because his little female savage cousin didn't come to him to mate, but that he always felt a little uneasy.
Because the news about Wolf Er was so stormy, it made him a little worried.
Although he felt that there was a high probability that the two brothers, Big Wolf and Big Wolf, were dead.
But there is always a little bit of unbearability and expectation in my heart.
"Ouch"
Amidst the lightning and thunder, Xu Chen seemed to hear a wolf howling.
He stopped tapping and looked out the door to listen.
But at this time, the only thing that can be heard is the pouring rain, which is like water pouring, and the thunderous roar one after another.
Maybe I thought too much and started to hallucinate!
Xu Chen sighed, picked up the small hammer and continued to hammer.
But more than ten minutes later, he suddenly stopped again, listened carefully for a while, then dropped the hammer and tin bowl, stood up, walked under the eaves and looked at the door.
Thunder exploded, lightning tore through the night sky, and in the heavy rain, the entire compound was filled with water, and monkeys seemed to be commotion and screaming near the dark entrance passage.
However, compared to the current lightning, thunder and violent storm, this movement is completely negligible, and it is even like an illusion.
However, after standing at the door for more than ten seconds, Xu Chen felt that he had been half wet by the rain coming from the face, so he hurried back to the room, but just when he was about to put down the door curtain, he couldn't help but look back.
Then he picked up the pottery lamp, held the flame with his hand, and walked along the corridor to the courtyard gate.
But as soon as he took a few steps, the door curtain of the little witch's room next door opened, and he saw the little witch coming out wearing a light gauze nightgown, holding a pottery lamp with her hands. The two almost bumped into each other.
"You haven't slept yet?" Xu Chen greeted quickly.
"I heard a noise at the door!" the little witch quickly explained.
"I thought I was the only one who heard it!"
Xu Chen was a little surprised, because this showed that the commotion of the monkeys just now was not an illusion, and the howling of the wild wolves before was most likely not an illusion either.
The reason why he was going to take a look was because there had been no trace of wild wolves in the valley for a long time. With such a heavy rain, it was even more unlikely that a wolf would run in late at night. If it was a wolf, it would most likely be the wolf that escaped.
Wolf 2.
"Let's go and take a look, be careful not to fall into the ditch!"
"Okay!"
Xu Chen walked in front, and the little witch walked behind. The two held pottery lanterns and carefully walked out along the corridor.
