After breakfast, everyone packed up and set off.

The whole mountain valley is about twenty or thirty miles in circumference, and it takes a lot of work to walk around.

But Wen Binbin looked even more careful than he was on the road outside, not only observing and recording carefully, but also collecting more samples.

Seeing that the bag containing the sample was getting heavier and heavier, Li Chen grabbed it without saying a word, and carried it on his back.

Wen Binbin wanted to grab it or not, and a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes when he looked at Li Chen, but Gao Liang looked at Li Chen's back and pouted. Uncle Devon touched his chin, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

The group started from the southwest of the depression, first south and then west counterclockwise, preparing to walk around the depression, then go to the middle to have a look, and finally return to the end.

After about an hour, they had reached the west.

The mountain to the west, for some reason, was born or acquired, but there were three deep and long valleys, which were overgrown with weeds and some animal droppings.

Seeing these three valleys, Wen Binbin frowned slightly, as if he wanted to go in and have a look.

may have seen that she had this thought, Hu Fatzi hurriedly said: "Binbin, it's not easy to walk here, let's read this outside first according to the original plan." ”

Hearing this, Wen Binbin hesitated slightly, but still nodded.

But at this time, Xiao Huang, who had been following Li Chen, suddenly looked into the first valley, and then looked at Li Chen at the same time.

Li Chen frowned, squatted down, suddenly saw something, stood up and said to the others: "You guys go first, I have to go in here to have a look." After speaking, he didn't wait for everyone's reaction, and walked in first. When Xiao Huang saw Li Chen enter, he immediately rushed to the front.

"Hey, Li Chen, you..."

Gao Liang was the first to want to give Li Chen a few words, but who knew that Li Chen jumped faster than a rabbit, and she didn't say anything in the second half of the sentence.

"So, you go first, and I'll go in and have a look. We'll get to you later. ”

Li Zhiqiu thought about it and chased after him, after all, Li Chen was alone, and he was not very relieved.

Seeing this, Wen Binbin smiled and said to Hu Fatzi: "Yes, Brother Hu, since this is the case, let's go in and have a look." ”

Fat Hu smiled bitterly and nodded.

So, everyone simply walked in.

When everyone walked in more than a hundred meters and crossed a covered bush, the sight in front of them surprised everyone.

"Li Chen, what is that?"

Uncle Devon walked over uncharacteristically quickly. The crowd followed.

I saw Li Chen, Li Liwen and Xiao Huang Zhengwei standing next to a cave entrance, and there was an animal lying with its head facing in at the entrance of the cave, its body was stiff, and its tongue was drooping out, and it should be dead.

When everyone approached, they saw that there was a blood hole in the animal's neck that was about an inch in size, running through the entire neck. A large area of the ground was stained red with blood. Not only that, but there was also a little guy who had just opened his eyes and had not grown much fur and was squeezing into the belly of the dead animal, screaming non-stop, and at the same time, I don't know whether it was scared or cold, but he also shivered.

And Xiao Huang was obviously a little hostile to this little guy, and kept baring his teeth, if Li Chen hadn't stopped drinking it, he would have rushed up and bitten it.

"It's... Wolf? ”

Uncle Devon's initial tone was not very sure, obviously he hadn't seen it for so many years, and he was a little unsure, but then he nodded affirmatively, after all, these characteristics are here, and they can't be wrong.

Looking up at Li Chen and Li Zhiqiu, "You killed you?" ”

Li Zhiqiu shook his head like a buleng drum. Although Li Chen had already recognized the one he had killed last night, he naturally couldn't admit it at this time.

Uncle Devon nodded, after all, the blood stains had dried up a long time ago, and the wolf was also stiff, and it must have been dead for a while: "Wolves are rare now, like this one, they actually gave birth to cubs, it must have been some time." Forget it, we buried them and didn't see them. ”

"Buried?"

Li Zhiqiu was puzzled.

"Huh? What else do you want? Uncle Devon must also know the letter of the law: "Eat? Or turn it in? ”

"I..."

Li Zhiqiu was speechless for a while, and he really didn't know what to do?

"Tell you, this wolf is a protected animal, although killing a wolf will not be sentenced to anything, but maybe there will be some punishment."

"Then we didn't kill this wolf."

"Who can prove that you didn't kill it?"

"This..."

Li Zhiqiu thought about it, maybe he couldn't tell it clearly.

"Hmph, I see, so it's better to have more than one thing, so let's deal with them quickly."

After Uncle Devon finished speaking, he asked everyone to do it. Just throw this guy into this cave, seal a few rocks at the entrance of the cave, and cover it with some branches, a natural grave.

But at this time, the little wolf barked a few times.

Gao Liang couldn't stand it anymore: "Uncle, what do you mean, do you want to bury this little wolf alive?" ”

"Ahh Or what? Wolf cubs are not like dog cubs, without a mother, they can't be raised, rather than starve to death, it is better to let their mother and child be in the same hole. ”

Although Uncle Devon's words seemed cruel, they were irrefutable, after all, no one could do better.

The wolf cub also seemed to feel the crisis, and once again let out a desperate "whining", Gao Liang, Zhou Yali and even Wen Binbin subconsciously frowned.

"Alright, Zhiqiu, Tatsuko, come and help, we don't have time to delay here."

Uncle Devon urged, and he was about to do it.

"Wait!"

Li Chen suddenly spoke.

"Huh?"

Uncle Devon was stunned: "What's the matter, Tatsuko?" ”

"Uncle, I want to keep this wolf cub."

Li Chen's words immediately surprised everyone.

"Tatsuko, didn't you hear what I just said?"

Uncle Devon frowned.

"I hear you clearly."

"I heard you, you're still joking with me! Hurry up, don't talk nonsense, we're still down to business after we're done. ”

Uncle Devon split his head and covered his face and gave Li Chen a few words.

"But uncle, I'm not joking with you? What I said is true, I really want to keep it. ”

Li Chen emphasized again.

Seeing his serious face, the eyes of the three girls, Gao Liang, Zhou Yali, and Wen Binbin, who looked at him, changed a little.

"Keep it? Leave it troublesome, you know? Besides, you can't feed it. ”

"Whether you can feed it or not, you have to try to find out. Moreover, I have read the relevant legal provisions, and although things are a little troublesome, they are not helpless, so I am ready to give it a try. ”

Li Chen was very persistent, and at the same time lowered his body, and even reached out to hug the trembling little wolf cub. Seeing Li Chen like this, Xiao Huang suddenly screamed a few times, Li Chen shrugged at it, and Xiao Huang reluctantly shut up.

Hey, don't say it, I don't know what kind of magic Li Chen has, the little wolf cub snorted a few times at first, and seemed to be a little repulsed, but slowly, he actually calmed down, didn't tremble, didn't bark, just lay in Li Chen's arms so calmly, and slowly closed his eyes.

Li Chen looked at it, and his heart suddenly felt a little sour. It's a poor child, and its only mother was killed by herself, so you have to save its life anyway.
