Chapter 7 A Little Hope
The frank conversation greatly reduced the wariness of both sides towards each other, except for some special secrets, the two sides hardly said anything, especially the one-eyed wolf clan, and some taboo questions dared to speak out, in order to show that they were fully integrated into the community.

"In fact, our method is similar to yours, so that human beings are not painful, chasing is not, not chasing annoyance... Hey, hey, hey... When you came, you saw the tracker dog over there, and he was coerced to help us drive the little sheep. "Speaking of the beauty of the little fat sheep, the wrinkles on the old wolf clan's face are almost gone.
Even the tracking dogs that wrapped in humans drove away the little fat sheep, and the one-eyed wolf clan was about to be petrified.
"But how can the human camp and the fence of the little sheep be easily pulled apart?"
The old wolf clan smiled and didn't speak.
Baoyue was also looking at him with strange eyes from the side.
The one-eyed wolf clan suddenly understood that the lord didn't have that mysterious sword, and then the one-eyed gradually shone brightly.
Dekang glanced at the old wolf clan, and the old wolf clan nodded knowingly.
"Brother Gurunay. You can't say anything about the sword of the Lord to anyone, neither to kill you, you know! The old wolf clan stepped forward and said.
"Yes. The little ones know the severity. I won't say half a word if I kill you.
Dekang was very surprised when he heard the one-eyed wolf clan talk about the change in the attitude of the southern humans towards the wolf tribe, which was completely different from the situation he knew, and when he finished talking about a few topics, he carefully inquired about the specific situation of the southern humans.
The One-Eyed Wolf Clan told the story of the South as they knew.
It turns out that before humans began to graze the goats that gnawed grass roots, the relationship between the wolf clan and humans had become tense.
The main reason is that humans have grazed too many little fat sheep and endlessly pumped the water flow of the river, causing the originally abundant aquatic plants to shrink again and again.
Naturally, the prey in the prairie has been greatly reduced, and the wolf clan can't hunt enough delicious, so there are some opportunistic guys who go to the little fat sheep grazing by humans.
At that time, although the southern wolf clan was at a disadvantage, it was still able to hold on.
When the evil grass-gnawing goats appeared, the whole prairie changed almost overnight, and large areas of lush grassland were gnawed until only the turf that could not cover its paws, and after a few winters and summers, some meadows gradually revealed yellowish sandy soil, and some places gradually became half-grass and half-sandy land.
Strangely, instead of slaughtering those goats, humans have stepped up their efforts to herd more goats and occupy more grasslands.
Gradually, our wolf clan couldn't stay in many, many places, and had to start wandering around, and the things of the little fat sheep along the way became more and more common, and the result was that as soon as humans saw the wolf clan, they shouted and shouted to kill, and the two sides became mortal enemies.
Human beings have guns and are extremely cunning, where can the wolf clan be the enemy!
At most, it is to steal chickens and dogs and eat two bites, and the cost is indeed life.
In the end, there are almost no groups of wolves, jackals, and little foxes in the entire south, and the human territory, whoever goes in will die, only in some poor mountains and bad waters that humans can't enter, and there are barely a few wolf clans there day and night.
At the same time, the little mice began to breed wildly, and in autumn, the shocking rat holes in the prairie can make your scalp tingle and goosebumps.
However, many of the large fields reclaimed by human beings who cut off the flow of water are not as good as a winter and summer because of the decrease in rain and the barrenness of the grassland land itself, and when it is unprofitable, human beings can easily abandon it.
However, those abandoned fields can never return to their former state, most of them have become sandy soil, and when the wind blows, the sky is full of dust, and over time it has become semi-sandy land, and there are not a few small grasses.
Eventually, the human beings themselves could not stay in some places, so they moved to places with water and grass to continue grazing the goats, leaving the little rats all over the ground to run rampant there.
Without the killing of the little fox, the little mouse does not thank the human being, and does not steal the euthanasia!
I also heard that in some places, even baby mice are extinct.
That is, in the recent winters and summers, the humans in the south saw that our wolf clan somehow stopped chasing and killing, and sometimes even they saw the wolf clan obeying the little fat sheep in broad daylight, and they just shouted and drove away.
In the face of such a situation, everyone is embarrassed to be vicious, but it is rare to go to a place to fill the stomach with a little fat sheep, even so, it is still impossible to live, except for eating small mice, there is almost no other prey for us to catch.
There were a few rabbits, but they were very thieves, and the burrows were long, narrow, and extendent, and if you chased them in, you would be stuck in them if you were not careful.
There was no choice but to hunt and kill the little mice that could never fill their stomachs, until the energy of the day and night was exhausted, and they collapsed to the ground with hunger.
"Lord. If you think about who dares to stay in the South, it's a dead end. ”
After listening to the accounts of those who have experienced it firsthand, Dekang has an intuitive understanding of the current situation in the south. The situation there is much worse than I imagined, so it seems that it is completely whimsical to want to go to the south and establish a base for advancement.
Dekang was a little unrelenting, he stared at the one-eyed wolf clan and asked, "Isn't there a good sign in the south?" ”
The one-eyed wolf clan lowered their heads and thought for a moment and said, "If you want to say that there are good signs, there are also good signs. I wonder if the Lord has seen large areas of human sea buckthorn and woods on the edge of the desert all the way east? ”
Dekang and the old wolf clan all nodded.
"That's what the humans did, and in my opinion, they wanted to stop the sand from advancing. There are many places in the south that are engaged in this, and in some places the sea buckthorn forests have been formed into patches, and there are also small feet such as small fat rabbits that build nests there; But the prey is still very small, our wolf clan occasionally patronizes it, no problem to stay there for a long time, but the little fox, you can go in and have a good time, there are a lot of little mice there. ”
"In your opinion, will those humans continue to work on this sea buckthorn forest, and whether these sea buckthorn forests can finally be connected into a whole piece."
"Ever since they saw humans working on this sea buckthorn forest, they haven't stopped, and it looks like they're going to do it. If you connect the whole area, you don't think it's possible, and in some places the wind and sand are too big and there is almost no rain, which is the helplessness of cunning humans. ”
Dekang nodded: "You pay more attention to the affairs in the south, if there is a major situation, report it to me, and when the community is a little stable, I will send Yongmu, mainly the little fox, to try it and see if I can take root in those sea buckthorn forests first." ”
The One-Eyed Wolf Clan was a little strange why Dekang was so interested in the south, and even wanted to go there to open up the situation, which was a bit incredible.
"The Lord is wise!" The old wolf clan wasted no time in slapping the horse's ass.
Dekang stretched and said, "Let's rest, everyone." Gurunay. You'll have to worry a lot along the way through the desert to the east. ”
"It's the Lord. Rest assured, Lord, that the Guruno can find the springs and passages here even with his eyes closed. The one-eyed wolf clan patted their chests and reassured.
The rangers and Dahara saw that Dekang was talking to Gurunai non-stop, and they didn't dare to swagger back to sleep, so they waited not far away, and at the same time asked about the situation in the big and small ponds, and when Gurunai followed Xiaohara out, everyone dispersed.
Sweet and sweet sleep for a night, the sun came out Dekang only felt refreshed when he got up, and the continuous growth of the community was like a catalyst, making every member feel infinitely energetic and more confident.
Because they had to set off alone, the ranger and Da Hara came to the place where Xiao Hara was on guard early and waited, and the first time they received the order alone, of course, they had to be more active.
Seeing Dekang get up and come out, the two of them stepped forward together to say goodbye, and Dekang didn't say anything, waving his forelimbs and letting them leave.
Ranger and Dahara have to take the chome to move diagonally in their respective directions, and only turn due east when they run in place, so Dekang is not in a hurry to get on the road, so let Baoyue, who loves to sleep lazy, be lazy for a while.
With the growth of this little cub community, the idea of lazy bed has also grown, it was not like this when she and Dekang depended on each other, at that time, as long as Dekang moved a little, Baoyue would wake up magically, for fear that when he opened his eyes, he would not see the second brother beside him.
Dekang didn't care about this at all, he ran from west to east, and it didn't matter if he was in a hurry.
The breeze of Hexi in the spring day blew across his cheeks, with a hint of cool water vapor from the pool, Dekang stretched out his nose and took a big breath, only to feel that the pores all over his body became comfortable.
He gave an explanation to Xiao Hara, stretched out his forelimbs and kicked his hind legs, and after a bit of activity, he ran around the pond, and chose a relatively hidden depression to start practicing wielding the sword.
In the community, Dekang basically has no private matters to hide, only the practice of the divine sword, except for Baoyue, he does not let anyone know, and it is strictly forbidden to come to disturb and snoop when he is alone.
Keeping some mystery right away will only make your subordinates feel more unpredictable and awe-inspiring.
When Dekang finished practicing and ran back in a sweat, Baoyue got up, and when she saw Dekang's appearance, she knew that the second brother had gone to practice swinging the sword again, and complained with a small mouth: "Stinky second brother." I didn't wake up Baoyue to practice together. ”
Dekang rubbed his scalp: "Little cub." The bigger it is, the lazier it gets. ”
"Hmph... Baoyue is not lazy, and only when she sleeps enough can she have the strength to run. ”
If you want to lay out facts and reason with those females for trivial things, it is purely full of food and support - nothing to do.
Of course, Dekang had already understood this truth, and nodded when he heard this: "Our Baoyue will definitely run more and more energetically when he sleeps enough." ”
"That's nature... Baoyue held her chest out.
When the sun gradually climbed, Dekang got up and led the headquarters to the east.
Crossing the desert is usually a very difficult, life-or-death affair, and it is not a last resort, and no one will rush into it.
However, the situation is much better through the Badain Jaran Desert, because it is irregularly distributed with a large number of ponds and lakes, although most of them are salt water, but there is not a shortage of fresh water in comparison; As long as the traverser is not too unlucky, he can always drink enough before he falls.
It's early spring, and a large amount of snow water flows into the depression ponds and lakes, making the Badain Jaran Desert more densely supplied with water, and even if they don't have the one-eyed wolf clan to lead the way, they can easily find the water source themselves with their sensitive noses to distinguish the difference in moisture in the air.
However, the one-eyed wolf clan has one important role, that is, they can pass through without knowing it.
Now the one-eyed wolf clan and the little hala are in front of a sand dune in the headquarters, and the one-eyed wolf clan gives full play to his appearance and the power of the land snake, and easily drives away the tracking dogs and little foxes encountered along the way.
When the samples disappear from sight, the One-Eyed Wolf Clan will continue to move forward and drive away, while Little Hara will stay where he is, and wait until Dekang and the others pass before overtaking and joining the One-Eyed Wolf Clan.
Dekang and his entourage have experience in traveling along the sandy land and Gobi on the edge of the Qaidam Basin, and know how to reasonably allocate physical energy, choose rest points and campsites, so they did not find it particularly difficult to travel eastward in the Badain Jaran Desert.
In order to save day and night, the one-eyed wolf clan tried to choose a straight line to go east, so he spent a lot of brain thinking about it, recalling the direction of the freshwater point in front of him, and then estimating the speed of his group, so as to get the most convenient route to pass.
When the sun was high, Dekang and his party came to a lake.
The length of this lake, which is long from east to west and wide from north to south, is nearly 500 paces, and there are hundreds of steps in the wide places, but there are only more than 20 steps in the narrow places, but at a glance most of the water surface is not deep, and some places in the lake are higher than the lake, and the earthy yellow sand forms several irregular islands, but there are no reeds and dead grass on the islands.
The One-Eyed Wolf Clan led the group to the middle of the western shore of the lake, where the water seemed deeper than anywhere else. The one-eyed wolf clan pointed to one place and said, "Lord." Look at the place, if there is water churning? ”
Dekang and Baoyue looked at the place pointed by the one-eyed wolf clan, and sure enough, there was a water surface only four or five steps away from the river bank, and the water was bubbling up as if it was boiling, making small ripples in circles and rippling around.
"Beneath the surface of the water is a spring, which spits out water in spring, summer, autumn and winter, so that the water near here can be drunk, and at a distance it becomes salty; It's spring, the largest time of the lake, and most of the lake dries up before it snows, but here, there are springs all year round, so the reeds in the vicinity grow more lushly than in other places. ”
"Second brother. The desert here is so funny, and there are such springs, why not Altyn? "If it weren't for the cold spring water, Baoyue, who stretched her neck, would have pounced directly on the spring.
"Yes. And it's a big spring that will make you stunned. ”
"Really? Why didn't you tell Baoyue all this time? Baoyue turned around and looked at Dekang suspiciously.
Dekang waved his forelimbs and said helplessly: "Far away from us, in the Sand River near the human camp, the river channel washed out by the spring water is more than a hundred steps wide. ”
"Haven't we been to Shahe, why don't we take Baoyue to see it?" Baoyue curled her mouth.
Dekang smiled at her: "With such a thick snow, it's not for nothing to take you there." ”
"Oh, too..." Baoyue thought about it to herself, and burst out laughing.
Dekang shook his head and said, "That sand spring is a good place, the sand river there is all salt water, and there is only that spring nearby where you can drink water." In the past, when human beings had not yet entered, as long as the ancestors of our family stayed near the spring river, those little fat sheep would obediently deliver them to the door, and it was really like a cornucopia at that time, with all kinds of delicious food. ”
"Second brother. When we defeat Sangsang, we will go back and drive the humans away, and Baoyue will ask for the sand spring. As soon as she heard that the humans had taken away her best territory, Baoyue glared and became angry.
Dekang thought that the human race had such a big camp there, and the power he had could be imagined, and he was afraid that even if he became the wolf king, it would not be so easy to drive the human race away, and he couldn't help but hesitate a little.
"Second brother... Seeing Dekang's hesitation, Baoyue was not happy.
How can you say that Baoyue also occupies the righteousness of the family, Dekang is not good at refusing, and he regrets that his mouth is fast, rubbing his scalp and not knowing how to persuade.
The old wolf clan had also been to the human camp, and knew that this was not an easy matter.
His eyes rolled and he hurriedly stepped forward to play the round: "Lord." Princess. We all know how powerful the humans are there, and this is a small matter to consider in the long run, and when we have the strength in the future, we will go back first to figure out the situation in the human camp and decide how to act. ”
"You're not talking nonsense. If I don't understand the power of human beings, I won't be stupid and fight them to the death. Baoyue glared at the old wolf clan.
I'm not afraid that you will be rude, but I am afraid that you will not take the bait.
The old wolf clan nodded: "Princess." The little one has an idea, even if we can't drive away the humans there, we can swagger around the sand spring to hunt for delicious food. ”
"Say it quickly." Baoyue's eyes lit up.
"The princess can take the warriors to hunt at night, and the delicacies will not be caught obediently, and the humans will shrink in the camp at that time, and the road will be on one side."
Baoyue slapped her scalp on the ground: "Sample." If those little fat sheep knew that the princess only dared to go over at night, and they didn't all drink water in the daytime until their stomachs were bulging, how could they still be delicious at that time. ”
"This is easy to do, just send a few little cubs to stay there and scare and scare."
Baoyue thought for a while: "This is a solution. ”
