In the afternoon, he went into the mountain to chop firewood as planned, and was busy until the sun set, and the two came back, and the next day was still the same, and finally cut enough firewood, and the third day was to move back, Lu Xiaoyi proposed to let his father come to help, and Yu Liang shook his head, saying that he could do it himself.

Early in the morning of the third day, Lu Xiaoyi sent breakfast to the surplus grain, and the sisters and brothers went to Yu's house on time to report, and when the surplus grain was eaten, Xiao Geng played with the little black dog as usual, and Lu Xiaoyi followed the surplus grain into the mountain as usual.

There were more than 20 bundles of dry firewood piled up under the vigorous pine tree, which were the fruits of two days' labor, Lu Xiaoyi ran forward with full accomplishment, cheering around the pyre.

Yu Liang deliberately took a long flat shoulder today, pinned the machete to his belt, looked like a woodcutter in the mountains, stepped forward to move away two firewood stacks, his eyes were fixed on a certain place, and he stood still with a vigilant face.

Lu Xiaoyi felt that something was wrong, and when he came over to take a look, he saw a big gray-brown dog with a bulging belly lying in the firewood stack, and asked curiously: "Where did the dog come from?" Looks like it's going to give birth to a cub. Lu Xiaoyi wanted to step forward, but was pulled behind by Yu Liang, took out the machete on his waist, and said calmly: "It's not a dog, it's a wolf!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi was so frightened that he grabbed the shirt on the back of the rest of the grain, hid behind him, and looked at the wolf, just as the wolf raised his eyes to look over, his eyes were gray and green, and his lips were wrinkled to reveal his fangs, and he quickly lowered his head weakly.

Yu Liang pointed to the place where the firewood stack was blocking, "Look at its hind legs!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi took a closer look and found that there was an arrow stuck in the wolf's leg, the white feather at the end of the arrow was stained with blood and mud, and the dark arrow body was mixed with firewood, which was difficult to find without looking carefully.

After living for two lives, it was the first time that Lu Xiaoyi was so close to a living wolf, and in her previous life, the zoo was in a trance, and she only felt that there was nothing that attracted her, and she forgot about it after a glance. Now, a wolf is alive in front of her, and it is also a she-wolf with cubs, Lu Xiaoyi's mind quickly popped up words such as: murderous, greedy, bloodthirsty, cunning, revenge, perseverance, intelligence, single-mindedness, team spirit and other mixed words came to her mind.

"Brother Liang, didn't you say that there are no wolves in this mountain forest?" Lu Xiaoyi's voice trembled, and she said that she was not afraid that it must be fake, this is a wolf that can eat people, even if she is injured, she will not dare to go and make a mistake.

"It was an escape from the mountains." Yu Liang affirmed.

Lu Xiaoyi remembered what his father said about the general's hunting, and as soon as he told Yu Liang, he understood, took two steps forward, and immediately attracted the threat of the she-wolf baring his teeth, and wanted to struggle to get up, suffering from excessive blood loss, and finally collapsed weakly, with a trace of pity in his eyes.

Yu Liang took two more steps, whether the wolf could understand it or not, and said to himself: "Don't move, I'll help you pull out the arrow!" ”

The she-wolf could no longer lift her neck, and her snort made a threatening sound, her lips twitching to reveal her fangs, trying to stop the rest of the food from approaching.

Lu Xiaoyi was worried that the she-wolf would suddenly rise up with all her might, and she would be caught off guard by attacking the surplus grain, and said anxiously: "Brother grain, be careful of its deception!" ”

Yu Liang waved her hand to reassure her, but the next action made Lu Xiaoyi raise his heart to his throat again, only to see him throw the machete in his hand aside in front of the she-wolf, spread out his palm, indicating that he was not in danger, and then slowly approached.

The she-wolf still whined and threatened, but much less than before.

Yu Liang had already walked to the she-wolf, and he opened his palm towards the she-wolf again, and then slowly moved towards the sharp arrow on the wolf's leg. I saw that the arrow had penetrated through the root of the wolf's leg, the blood stains on the dark arrow had dried up, and the thumb-thick arrow shaft shook slightly with the wolf's leg twitching, and blood stains overflowed from the connection from time to time.

This wicker arrow shaft is easy to break, the surplus grain hand strength is not small, the moment it is broken, the she-wolf raised her head in pain and showed her teeth and wailed, but did not turn back to bite the surplus grain, thinking that this intelligent animal also knew that the person in front of him was saving it.

Lu Xiaoyi knew that Yu Liang had a good heart, in case the she-wolf was saved, he opened his mouth and said: "Since you did a good deed and saved my life, and now I am very hungry, you can do another good deed and let me eat you." "Isn't this the living "Mr. Dongguo and the Wolf"? Therefore, she had to guard against it, look at the direction where Yu Liang had just thrown the machete, and slowly move over, the she-wolf occasionally raised her eyes to look at her, she stood still, as if nothing had happened, the she-wolf may see that she is not a threat, so she moved slowly.

Seeing that the machete was one step away, Yu Liang turned his head and asked her, "Do you have a handkerchief?" ”

Lu Xiaoyi pointed to the machete, and then pointed at herself, and saw Yu Liang shaking her head at her, so she had to timidly walk to Yu Liang and take out a handkerchief for him.

Every time the surplus food enters the mountain, he will bring some hemostatic medicine, but he didn't think that today he would use it for a wolf, under normal circumstances, he would meet the wolf in the mountains and forests, or fight or escape or die, the only thing he didn't expect was that he would save it. Yu Liang brought the kettle and asked Xiao Yi to assist to help the she-wolf clean the wound, and then apply medicine and bandage.

Everything was done, just as Yu Liang and Lu Xiaoyi were discussing what to do next, the she-wolf whimpered and sobbed, looking very painful, Lu Xiaoyi's eyes were sharp, and he found that the hair next to the she-wolf's buttocks was wet and drenched, and he anxiously urged Yu Liang to look, "Brother Liang, it's going to give birth." ”

Yu Liang said with a bitter face that he could not do anything, and Lu Xiaoyi was even more helpless, so he could only watch the creation of the she-wolf.

I saw that the she-wolf struggled, and more liquid flowed out from the back of the buttocks, wetting the soil under the firewood stack, and the she-wolf had lost so much blood, and fled so far from the mountain road in order to avoid the hunters, and gave birth to cubs beyond her strength, and after a long time, she saw the red meat ball squeezed out of the root of the tail, and gave birth to five wolf cubs in a row.

Whether human or animal, motherhood is always a transcendent and great being. The she-wolf, who was still weak before, miraculously gained strength after giving birth, she turned around and bit off the umbilical cord and licked and washed the little wolf cubs, but the poor thing is that only one of the little wolf cubs made a milky cry and crawled to the belly of the she-wolf to arch the milk, and the other four were motionless and already lifeless.

Maybe it was frightened and prematurely born, maybe it was caused by suffocation in the birth canal, or maybe it was due to illness and other reasons, Lu Xiaoyi didn't know the specific cause of death of the other four, but she firmly believed that she saw something sad from the gray eyes of the she-wolf, and saw that it kept licking the dead wolf, and let out a low cry in its mouth.

Lu Xiaoyi's heart ached, she raised her eyes to look at the remaining grain, and saw that he also showed a sad look.

The she-wolf finally hung her head weakly, and her gray-green eyes looked over, full of supplication.

Yu Liang picked up the machete, dug and dug on the mound on the side, and soon made a pit, buried the four little wolves who were not breathing, and then strode to the side of the she-wolf, pinched two legs in each hand, carried the she-wolf to her shoulders with all her might, and instructed Xiao Yi: "You hold the little wolf." ”

The two approached and returned to the Yu family's small courtyard, and the black tiger showed a natural fear of the new members, hiding behind Xiao Geng, and screaming.

Xiao Geng didn't know the wolf, he thought it was a big dog, and patiently coaxed the black tiger not to be afraid, when he saw the pink wolf cub in Lu Xiaoyi's arms, he ran over excitedly, "Big sister, where are you looking for the puppy?" Is it for me? Wow! Big sister, you're so good to me! With that, he reached out and hugged him.

Lu Xiaoyi smiled: "You can hug it if you want, but I want to tell you in advance, this is not a dog cub, this is a wolf cub, do you still want to hug it?" ”

Xiao Geng was so frightened that he retreated again and again, suspicious and afraid, and hid in the corner of the courtyard with the black tiger and did not dare to come over.

Lu Xiaoyi walked quickly to the backyard and saw that the surplus grain had placed the she-wolf in a straw nest in the firewood room, and fed the she-wolf the leftover food in the morning.

Lu Xiaoyi put the little wolf cub back to the she-wolf, and it automatically and spontaneously looked for the milk source and sucked it desperately.

Thinking of the ferocious nature of wolves, Lu Xiaoyi had to remind Yu Liang, "Brother Liang, have you ever heard a story called "Mr. Dongguo and the Wolf"? ”

Yu Liang raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment and shook his head: "I haven't heard of it." ”

Yes, "Mr. Dongguo and the Wolf" is a small fable that began in the Ming Dynasty, and it is normal for no one to know about it in this overhead dynasty, so Lu Xiaoyi slowly explained the content of the story.

Yu Liang smiled after hearing this: "Don't worry, I'm not the Mr. Dongguo who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong and abuses sympathy, if it is an ungrateful Zhongshan wolf who will take revenge, I have a way to restrain it." ”

Lu Xiaoyi was still not at ease, his brows were furrowed, and Yu Liang said with relief: "It is very weak now, even if it is raised for a while, it is not my opponent, don't worry!" When it gets better, I'll let it go back to the mountains, where it lives. ”

Yu Liang's black and bright eyes revealed steady confidence, and his words were also very comforting, Lu Xiaoyi couldn't help but feel relieved, and suddenly grinned again, because she found that Yu Liang was no longer the stuffy gourd who was too much in front of her, but a young man who was gradually cheerful and kind to speak.

Yu Liang was confused by her sad smile, thinking that most of the little girls are like this, and how do you know what she thinks in her heart, if she really knows, it is estimated that she will be shy and return to the state of stuffy gourd! Yu Liang didn't ask any more, locked the firewood room, and made sure that there were no holes around the firewood room before taking Lu Xiaoyi to the mountains and forests to continue picking firewood bundles.

The lunch was delivered by Lu Zhong himself, and the surplus grain led Lu Zhong to the stove room, confirming that the mud in the stove was completely dry and he could cook by himself, so Lu Zhong smiled and promised not to send the food again.

When Lu Zhong learned that there were still bundles of surplus grain and firewood in the mountains, without saying a word, he was about to enter the mountain after taking the flat burden, but the surplus grain had to go with him, but he didn't dare to put the bundles of firewood he picked up in the firewood room, because there were two wolves in the firewood room, one big and one small.

After dinner, Xiao Geng said to Lu Zhong while gesturing: "Dad, the eldest sister brought back a wolf cub today." ”

Lu Xiaoyi just swallowed a mouthful of water, hearing Xiao Geng say this, she almost choked on her back, Xiao Ding hurriedly stepped forward to help her pat her back, after a violent cough, Lu Xiaoyi finally relieved her breath, she wiped her tears, and explained: "I teased you, it's just a puppy." ”

For the creature of the wolf, it faded out of the field of vision of the people of Xiaxi Village many years ago, that is, Lu Xiaoyi brought the wolf cub here, and Lu Zhong and Yulan would only treat it as a puppy cub, and they would not care much at all.

Lu Zhong patted Xiao Geng's head and said with a smile: "What is the wolf afraid of? If it was really powerful, it wouldn't hide in the mountains, and the most terrible thing in the world is people, you know? Son! ”

Xiao Geng's eyes lit up, his eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Dad, are people really more terrible than wolves?" ”

"Of course, there are many wicked people in this world who are worse than wolves, you are still young, and you will know when you grow up."

Xiao Geng muttered: "I shouldn't be a wicked person, I want to be a good person." ”

"Good son!" Lu Zhong happily hugged his son into his arms, "What a good son of my father!" ”

Xiao Geng giggled, and Yulan and Xiao Yi Xiaoding sat on the side and watched with a smile.

Yulan took the opportunity to educate her daughter: "Anyway, there are still many good people in the world, as the saying goes, 'good people are saved by good people, and evil people have their own evil people to grind', take our Xiaxi Village as an example, how many real evil people have a good end?" The old man of the Zhang family did bad things when he was not right, and finally he was beaten to death, and there is a family surnamed Song in the next village, the family is not good, look at now, four of the five sons are not good, the eldest is still in prison, the second child bullied the neighbors and died of a violent illness at a young age, the third child went to someone else's house and cut off contact with the old Song family, the fourth child was also beaten to death in the city casino to help watch the field, and the fifth child was a widower. And the grandfather of whom, I heard that it was ......."

Lu Zhong interrupted with a smile: "Your mother is very capable!" I know it better than me, a native of Xiaxi Village, and it seems that I usually go out to inquire at home. ”

Yulan glanced at Lu Zhong and said angrily: "The family is too busy drinking Lazar to drink old snacks, how can I have the leisure to inquire, this is all heard from a few sisters who have a good relationship every once in a while." ”

Lu Xiaoyi was listening energetically, and when he saw that Yulan was interrupted, he urged: "Hurry up!" Why didn't Mr. Storyteller continue? ”

Yulan's original intention was to educate her children by using the real example of 'evil people have evil retribution' around her, but she didn't expect her husband to make fun of her, and her daughter thought she was a storyteller, and said angrily: "One by one, I know how to make fun of me, since Ming'er, I haven't said a word in this family." ”

Lu Xiaoyi and Xiaoding glanced at each other, hugged Yulan's waist on the left and right, and made Yulan laugh after being coquettish.
