After listening to Wan Gong's introduction, we all fell into contemplation, it seems that Zeng Qian's previous guess was right, the establishment of the mine triggered the migration of surrounding animals, and the departure of rat natural predators caused a large number of rodents, the grassland was over-destroyed, large livestock could not survive, and the food of the wolves was greatly reduced, so the wolves attacked humans can be explained.

"We have tried to hunt this wolf pack, but they are very cunning, they hide in the mountains during the day, this mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, it is difficult for us to clear it, but at night they all run back to move, so far we have hit a few of them, let's see what is the best way?"

"Is there any other way than to hunt down this wolf pack?" I didn't expect Team Cao to ask such a question.

"Capture the head wolf, then transport the head wolf away, and its wolves will follow it away. Lao Qin looked at everyone and said firmly.

"You can't kill wild animals anymore, otherwise this vicious circle will turn this grassland into the Gobi Desert, Mr. Qin has a point, you can give it a try" Zeng Qian didn't look at us, she lowered her head and muttered.

The Cao team nodded and arranged a job for us, because the policeman Xiao Li was a local and could speak some Mongolian language, so he took me and Zeng Qian to visit the nearby herdsmen's homes, go to the scene of the crime to investigate, and continue to investigate the matter of the white circle.

Everyone hurriedly had lunch and went their separate ways. Xiao Li drove us to the herdsman's house near the mine, but unexpectedly, this was the beginning of a series of unsmooth for us.

An old herdsman in his fifties blocked us from his yurt and talked to Xiao Li in an almost roaring manner. Then the herdsmen returned to the yurt, and Xiao Li reluctantly spread his hands to us and walked back.

"That herdsman doesn't seem to be very friendly?" I was still curious about what they were communicating.

"The herdsmen have a lot of opinions about the mine, after all, after the mine opened, the grassland has been degraded very badly, the water source has also been polluted to a certain extent, the herdsmen's livestock have to travel a long way to graze, and the mine workers have killed a lot of foxes, badgers and wolves in the vicinity, and the herdsmen think that these are the punishment of immortality, and we are their accomplices. So, the others didn't want to tell me and blasted me out. Xiao Li was in a depressed mood when he spoke, and it seems that the real content of what the herdsmen told him may be even more difficult to hear.

"Xiao Li, you take me in again to find that herdsman, I have a way to let him communicate with us well, Uncle Chang, you just wait for me outside first." Zeng Qian patted Xiao Li's shoulder and said confidently.

The motivating effect of the beauty is obvious, and Xiao Li took Zeng Qian suspiciously and went to the yurt again. This time, they were still kept out by the old herdsman, who even took out his horsewhip and waved it in the sky. But Zeng Qian looked calm, took something out of her bag, and handed it to the herdsmen. After the herdsman saw it, his expression softened, and he laughed twice when he saw the end, and then warmly invited the two of them into the yurt, and when he entered, Zeng Qian made a grimace at me. I wondered even more, what method did Zeng Qian use to make the herdsmen change their sex?

I smoked a cigarette outside, Zeng Qian poked her head out of the yurt and shouted at me with a smile, "Uncle Chang, it's okay, come in." ”

I went into the old herdsman's yurt, and it smelled of sheep's flesh, and although it was very dark, it was very neat inside. The old herdsman smiled and took my hand, pressed me to sit down on the edge of the kang, and said in stiff Chinese, "Friends from afar, welcome." ”

I didn't know the reason at all, so I had to shake hands with him warmly, and while the old herdsman turned around to boil water and make tea, I asked Zeng Qian in a low voice, "Little girl, there are two times, how did you make the herdsmen change their attitude?"

Zeng Yan raised her head complacently, smiled, didn't speak, and handed me a few photos in her hand. The photo shows Zeng Yan rescuing wild animals in the wild and conducting scientific expeditions. I understood Zeng Qian's method, and I couldn't help but raise my big finger at her.

The old herdsman has lived in this grassland all his life and is very familiar with every grass and tree here, and in addition to telling us about the destruction of the grassland by the mine, he has a unique view of the wolf pack, which shocked us. The old herdsman told us that there were about 100 wolves in this pack, which was a rare large wolf pack in Inner Mongolia. It is said that this group of wolves has been bred for hundreds of years, and the current wolf king is more than forty years old, and it is also said that the wolf king of this group of wolves is not determined by force, but by heaven, so the herdsmen worship this wolf king as a god.

Zeng Qian whispered to me, wild wolves generally have a lifespan of about ten years old, and the longest to live is only twenty years old, isn't this wolf king a sperm when he lives to be forty years old?

The old herdsman seemed to be able to understand Chinese, and when he saw Zeng Qian's expression of disbelief, he spoke seriously. This time, it was Xiao Li's turn to be stunned and stunned for a long time before he began to translate slowly for us, while the old herdsman began to pour milk tea for us one by one.

In the faint milky fragrance of milk tea, the story of the old herdsman is like the slowly rising heat in a porcelain bowl, which is extremely ethereal. The reason why he can conclude that the wolf king lived for more than forty years is because the wolf king looks very different from other wolves. The wolf king is very large, and the top of the head of the adult male wolf is only up to his shoulder, and the wolf king is taller than an adult when he stands. Another distinctive feature of the wolf king is that the hair on the top of his head is white, the hair on his neck and body is grayish-black like that of other wolves, and the hair on his tail is white.

In the past few decades, the old herdsmen have encountered the wolf king several times a year when they are grazing, and the wolf king often looks at the grassland below on the top of a cliff in Dagai Mountain. The old herdsman would leave behind a large piece of beef or a leg of mutton when he passed by, and the wolves never attacked his sheep. Recently, the distance between the old herdsman and the wolf king was less than twenty meters. Therefore, he knew that this wolf king had been one for as long as he could remember.

As for the matter of the wolf king's heavenly gift, it has been passed down from generation to generation by the old generation. In other wolf packs, the decision of the wolf king is that the strong male wolf challenges the wolf king, and if he wins, he becomes the new wolf king, so the wolf king will have challengers every year, and even wild wolves break in from outside, and the change of the wolf king will be very frequent. In a sense, this is also the natural law of survival of the fittest, and the victory and defeat of the king is to ensure that the wolf king's force is enough to ensure the domination of the wolf pack.

The wolves in Ulla Ranch are not, the old wolf king will leave the wolf pack and hide before he dies, but soon a white-headed and white-tailed wolf will be born in the wolf pack. There will be a strong male wolf in the wolf pack to act as the wolf king, but when the wolf cub reaches adulthood, the acting wolf king will give up his position to it, and there will be no other wolves in the pack to challenge the wolf cub. And the old herdsman has never seen the death of the wolf king, so this heavenly grant is only a legend that cannot be proven.

Xiao Li finished translating the words of the old herdsman, and I also expressed my opinion, if the Heavenly Wolf King really exists, then maybe the wolf king's age is not as old as the old herdsman said, maybe the old herdsman has seen the new wolf king with a white head and a white tail, after all, the appearance characteristics are the same, and it is difficult for humans to identify the difference between the old wolf king and the new wolf king.

Originally, this speculation was only told to Zeng Qian and Xiao Li to explain the age of the wolf king. I didn't expect Xiao Li to be too honest and directly translated me into Mongolian. The old herdsman listened to Xiao Li's words and said a few more words very firmly. Xiao Li told me that what the old herdsman meant was that although he had not seen what happened in this legend, he dared to conclude that the wolf king was the one from beginning to end, and if we saw it with our own eyes, we would believe his words, because the wolf king was not a wolf, but a messenger sent by the Immortal Heaven, and this wolf pack was not an ordinary wolf pack, but the guardian of the Holy Master.

Obviously, when Xiao Li translated for us, he was not very sure of some of the words in the old herdsman's words, and he was not very coherent, but I still roughly understood what he meant. And the old herdsman seemed to know that he had lost his words, and lowered his head and never said anything more.

If it is true, as the old herdsman said, that the wolves are the guardians of the holy masters, then there is a new explanation that they only attack the workers of the mines, and the white circles left behind, but who are they guarding? Could it be the famous generation of emperors in history, Phags-pa? But Phags-pa was a propagator of Tibetan Buddhism, and the history records record that his body was transported back to Tibet after his death, and it is impossible to be buried here. So who is this holy master? Mine Chief Li said that they had dug the roadway built in the Yuan Dynasty, and it seems that all of this is intrinsically linked. And if the wolf king is not a wolf, what will it be?

Zeng Qian obviously didn't realize the mystery of the old herdsman's words, she was more concerned about how to let the wolves move north to avoid the tragedy of them being slaughtered by humans, but obviously the old herdsman had no better way, in his opinion, as long as the wolf king was there, the wolves would not leave their territory. Perhaps, the trapping of the wolf king proposed by Lao Qin is the only feasible way. But at this time, I vaguely felt that we knew too little about this wolf king, and the rash trapping operation might not be successful.

Most of the conversations with the old herdsmen need to be translated by Xiao Li, who is not very proficient in Mongolian, so this kind of communication delays a lot of time, and when we look at the watch again, it is already more than eight o'clock in the evening, we politely thank the old herdsmen for dinner, and hurried to the mine.

When they arrived at the mine, Team Cao was not there, and when they asked, they found out that they had made a plan to capture the wolf king today, and a total of fifteen people had already set off before dark. I was also a little sleepy after a long ride on this day, so I had a casual meal in the cafeteria, and then went to the dormitory of the mine to sleep for a while. Before I could sleep deeply, I was suddenly awakened by a sharp gunshot, and soon there was a second and a third sound, and all the dogs in the mine were barking, and I heard the people in the dormitory opening the doors and walking out, but my head was really heavy, and I thought that it should be the beginning of the trapping operation of the Cao team, so I fell asleep again.
