A group of men were sleeping on both sides of the corridor. At this time, they were also awakened by the sound of talking outside. People came out of the room one after another to ask about the situation.
After learning that it was Wolf Er who ran back, everyone immediately fell asleep and started to watch excitedly and make noise.
Especially Feng and a few others started to discuss the discovery of Lang Er a few days ago with great pride.
Soon the noise became louder and louder, almost everyone in the room got up and came out, and some children were also woken up and started crying.
The lights and torches in the main courtyard were lit one after another, and the people in the side courtyard were also awakened. Because they didn't know what had happened, my mother and a few men and women ran over with animal skins in the heavy rain to ask about the situation.
More and more people poured into the aisles.
Xu Chen squatted on the ground and continued shaving Wolf Er. Many people around him were holding pottery lamps, and some even lit a few torches, which immediately illuminated the aisle.
After spending more than ten minutes, Xu Chen finally shaved off all the hair near Lang Er's wounds, and then asked Ye Duan to bring a basin of salt water to rinse the wounds, and then put him on a clean bed.
On the straw mat, he took out the medicine powder he had prepared to stop bleeding and stimulate muscle growth, applied a thick layer to the wound, and then wrapped it in linen.
As soon as I was done, more than half an hour had passed without my noticing.
By this time, the heavy rain had become sparse, the thunder and lightning had moved away to the northwest, and on the southeastern horizon, sparse stars and a crescent moon appeared.
"Mother Baba Gaga, let someone bring some duck eggs to feed Wolf Er!"
After the bandaging was completed, Xu Chen stood up wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Okay!"
Mother Ba gave a few instructions, and soon a woman went to the warehouse to bring some duck eggs. Xu Chen asked someone to open Lang Er's mouth, crush the duck eggs directly and pour them in.
Wolf Er weakly swallowed all the duck eggs without opening his eyes the whole time. It seemed that he had almost run out of gas and had no energy left to struggle.
"Okay, let's all go back to sleep. Whether Wolf Two can survive depends on his luck!"
He did his best to obey fate. Although he was not his own child, Xu Chen felt that he had worked hard.
After watching the fun, a group of onlookers, men, women and children, after a while of excitement, yawned and went back to their rooms to continue sleeping.
After Xu Chen found some hay and animal skins to cover Wolf Er, he also yawned and took Ye and the little witch back to their rooms to sleep.
Mi Mi Hu Hu slept until dawn.
When I was shaken awake, I was still dreaming.
"Gaha?"
Looking at Ye who was pulling his arm hard with an eager look on his face, Xu Chen lazily half-closed his eyes and hummed.
"Get up quickly, the second wolf will give birth to a little wolf!"
"Um"
Xu Chen was stunned and quickly sat up. He jumped out of bed and ran straight to the corridor without even having time to put on his slippers.
Although it was getting bright at this time, the only people who got up were mothers and some women cooking. In fact, most of the men and children were still sleeping.
But there were already several people surrounding the aisle.
The little witch was wearing thin pajamas, huddled together with Dong and other girls. She was pointing and talking quietly around the straw mat where Wolf Er lay. She looked very surprised, but she didn't dare to get close.
"Come on in the morning!"
Seeing Xu Chen, a group of girls quickly moved out of the way.
The little witch reminded in an excited voice: "Your Majesty the Witch King, the second wolf is born!"
"How many babies were born?" Xu Chen quickly squeezed to Lang Er and asked.
"I don't know where I am, so I don't dare to come close!" The little witch quickly shook her head.
Dong and several other girls also nodded together, grabbing his clothes and hiding behind him, both excited and nervous.
There were hay scattered around the straw mat, which was covered by Xu Chen last night, but it seemed that Lang Er had struggled during the birth, and the scene was very messy.
Wolf 2 was still lying dying in a pile of hay, but it was obvious that when its curled up body was arched, it occasionally made a small whine sound.
Xu Chen slowly knelt down and reached over, wanting to peel off the animal skin and take a look.
"Watch out quack!"
Ye and the little witch nervously grabbed Xu Chen's arm almost at the same time.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen!"
Xu Chen turned around and smiled, gently stretched out his hand to grab a corner of the animal skin, and slowly pulled it away.
The animal skin is a piece of fur skirt in the past, but the Ba people no longer wear this thing, so most of them are used to make bedding for wild animals or as rags.
This piece of animal skin should be a piece of wolf skin, which is quite thick and soft, but Wolf 2 dragged it over and covered the wolf pup after giving birth.
As the hide is uncovered,
"Wow!"
Ye, the little witch and other girls were instantly surprised.
Xu Chen glanced at Wolf Er nervously and found that it was almost unresponsive, and couldn't help but let out a long breath.
Mother animals have been protecting their cubs since ancient times. Cats, dogs, chickens and ducks all do the same, not to mention wild wolves.
However, this sign also showed that Wolf Er was in very bad condition. If it weren't for the slight heaving and bulging of his abdomen, Xu Chen would have thought he was dead.
The animal's hide went to look for milk, and it made a soft whining cry from its mouth.
A group of girls saw that the second wolf did not move, and they became bolder. They squatted down and gathered around to watch, and some reached out to touch the wolf cub.
"She Wolf, Mo Nai Ga!" the little witch whispered beside Xu Chen, observing and reminding her.
"Well, Wolf Er looks very bad. I wonder if he can survive?"
Although Xu Chen was excited, he was actually more worried.
Wolf Er was seriously injured and had been hungry for a long time. He almost died after running back from the heavy rain last night.
But I didn't expect that a litter of wolf pups would be born during the night.
Xu Chen himself doesn't know how to give birth to a child, but that doesn't stop him from knowing that it is a strenuous job.
Lang Er estimated that after barely giving birth last night with the help of a few duck eggs, he had completely exhausted his last strength. Not to mention the milk, it was still unknown whether he could survive.
But now that the matter has come to this, Xu Chen can no longer ignore death.
Although the wound has been treated, the linen dressing had been loosened during the birth last night.
Xu Chen carefully picked out the five hungry wolf cubs one by one, placed them in the animal skins and gave them to Ye He and the little witch to take care of. He pulled off the linen wrapped around Wolf Er and checked them.
, I found that the wound had begun to scab, but there were no symptoms of deterioration. However, the most seriously injured hind leg was still swollen, and it didn't look good.
But even if the wound becomes infected, he doesn't have much to do. What he has to do now is to try to save Lang Er's life.
A child with a mother is like a treasure, a child without a mother is like a grass.
Compared with the joint raising of human groups, wild beasts are more prominent in this aspect.
Human cubs are born without mothers. As long as the environment is acceptable and the food is sufficient, the chances of survival are still very high.
But if a beast cub is born and loses the care of its mother, it will definitely die. Even if it is from the same group, it will be eaten.
If the second wolf dies, Xu Chen has no confidence in raising the wolf cub into a dog because he has no milk.
Xu Chen asked a girl to find the mother and ask for some duck eggs.
Soon, the news that the wolf had given birth to two cubs spread in the yard.
A group of women and mothers who got up early to cook were very surprised and ran over to take a look. Amidst the noise of talking, the men and some children who were still sleeping were also woken up. They all yawned and picked their eyes and squeezed over to take a look.
It was strange, and then naturally it became more noisy and lively. People in the second courtyard heard it and soon ran over to watch.
So the entire aisle was almost packed with people again.
Xu Chen brought the duck eggs and fed four to Wolf Er, and then poured a bowl of salt water.
During this process, Wolf 2 didn't make much movement, but he opened his eyes slightly and heard the cry of the wolf cub. He also tried to get up, but struggled a few times without success. He could only lie down on the straw mat and try his best.
respite.
"Feng, you guys come back early today and get some fresh meat to feed Wolf Er!" Xu Chen stood up and ordered a few big men who were picky.
"Okay, I'll definitely come back early!" Feng and the others nodded quickly.
The entire Ba tribe still has a deep affection for Wolf Big Wolf Er.
Otherwise, they seemed to have seen Wolf Er a few days ago, so they wouldn't have abandoned a group of acquired objects to chase after him.
Now everyone can see that Lang Er's situation is very bad.
If Wolf Two cannot survive, these five little wolf cubs may not survive either.
Xu Chen looked at the surrounding environment.
The group of monkeys on the left and the two big eagles on the right are not easy to get along with, especially the two big eagles. They are super raptors that prey on large and medium-sized beasts such as wild wolves and wild sheep. This palm-sized
The little wolf cubs come in bite-size pieces, crunchy and crunchy.
Therefore, Xu Chen did not dare to put Lang Er and his family in this dangerous passage, so he asked Gu Heju to lift Lang Er on a straw mat and temporarily bring it to the barn for feeding. Naturally, the five cubs were also taken with him.
passed.
The second wolf was placed in the corner of the barn, and several wolves were placed in his arms again. Each of the wolves quickly found one and started sucking it. However, there was no milk, and they could only search for the next one.
While whining.
When Wolf Er heard the cry, he struggled occasionally, but he could only lie weakly on the ground, not even having the strength to make a sound.
The little witch and others were helpless.
The group of people watching outside the door didn't know what to do.
For other people, although they have some feelings for the wolf Big Wolf Er, the feelings are not as deep as Xu Chen's. They also don't know the role of domesticating wolves into dogs. They just think that they can be led outside like before.
Patrol farmland.
What's more, there is not much difference between humans and animals. Human beings are accustomed to the death of their own kind. What's more, for a wild beast, as for the newly born wolf cubs, they are not even wild beasts at all. They are about the same as mice and insects.
You can trample several to death.
There is no pretense of kindness and compassion at the moment.
Even if there is, it has nothing to do with morality, but their innate sympathy for weak lives, just like when Ye didn't want Xu Chen to abandon the two little wolves who were about to starve to death.
Therefore, for Wolf Er and several newly born wolf cubs, except for Ye and the little witch and a few sympathetic girls, they are dispensable to others.
It's best if you can feed them. If you really can't feed them, I'll catch a few and raise them later.
After all, as long as Xu Chen wants to support him, everyone will help.
"Mo's milk quack, I can't feed you, diesu ga!"
A man shouted a reminder outside the door.
Ye's eye circles were a little red and he started to swallow harder.
The little witch was also a little depressed. She gently pulled Xu Chen's arm with a look of pleading on her face.
His Majesty the Witch King is omnipotent and should be able to think of a way.
Xu Chen's face twitched.
Looking at my broad and magnanimous mind, I sighed, “The landlord’s family has no food left, and I have no milk.”
