Chapter 20: The Wolf and the Man

The wolf is a carnivore that lives in groups and ferocious, and man is an omnivore that lives in groups and is industrious.

You were born in a family that lived on animal husbandry, where there were boundless grasslands, pure and sweet rivers, cute and unrestrained horses, countless cattle and sheep, and you also had a sheepdog that grew up with you, and you named it Doudou because it had a black dot on its forehead.

It's another sunny day, and you, who are already fifteen years old, are happily chasing the running sheep, and the shepherd dog Doudou is barking behind you. When you are tired of chasing, you will sit by the river with a grass in your mouth, count the number of white clouds in the sky, and describe what that white cloud looks like, and what this white cloud looks like.

It was supposed to be a very peaceful and ordinary day, but somehow, today's Doudou is always screaming around you, and such an abnormal thing arouses your curiosity, so you grab Doudou's head and look at Doudou's eyes seriously.

Doudou, did you find anything?

You gently stroked Doudou's back, comforting Doudou's trembling body.

Your beanie looked at you, spit out a red and cute tongue, and screamed.

Let's go home.

Barking.

On the way home, Doudou keeps running back and forth around you, like a happy child.

When I got home, Doudou was much quieter, which made you even more curious.

At lunch, your father brought up a sheep that was lost the other day.

Dad, when did our family lose a sheep, why don't I know?

You take a sip of fresh milk and look at your dad who is a little worried.

I thought the sheep was just lost and might come back on its own in a few days, but this morning, when I was patrolling around, I found a pool of blood in the grass, and a few strands of wool stuck to the blood, and I realized that the sheep might have been taken by a wolf.

Your dad kept sighing, and you wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only pray silently that this would not happen again.

It backfired, and a few days later, another sheep was found, but it was dead, apparently attacked by a wolf.

Not only have your sheep been killed by wolves, but there are also sheep, cows, and even horses from several herdsmen around you.

So, several herdsmen sat around and had a small meeting.

You're also getting younger, and it's time to find out what your dad and others say when they're in a meeting.

At the meeting, some proposed to build a fence around it, some proposed to send people to guard it, some proposed to leave the place, and some proposed to take the initiative and kill the wolves.

You sit quietly beside Doudou, with your right hand on Doudou's body, stroking back and forth along Doudou's fur, enjoying the wonderful touch.

You have watched it for a long time, and you can understand that there is a wolf stealing sheep, and you have only heard others say how cruel the wolf is, how fast it moves, especially how terrible the wolf's eyes are, but you have never seen it.

Somehow, you suddenly look forward to it.

Your head is already beginning to imagine what a wolf looks like, the color of its fur, its height taller than itself, the way it walks, the sound of its roar.

What was supposed to be a boring meeting ended quickly in your imagination, and you are still wondering how the meeting ended so quickly, and you are still unsatisfied.

Your dad smiles, touches your head, and has a look of praise in his eyes that is clearly praising you, thinking that a child who can listen carefully during a meeting is a good child.

As for what was said at the end of the meeting, you don't know, you didn't listen carefully, but fortunately your father didn't ask you, otherwise, your father would have criticized you again.

You smile and lead Doudou out of the dreary tent, ready to take a walk around.

When I came out, it was already evening, and the sun had already set the horizon in the west, but I would not get tired of seeing this beautiful scenery no matter how many times.

The western sky was blood-red, the dark blue sky overhead reflected the bright clouds in the west, the breeze was blowing, sending the birds home, everything seemed so pleasant and peaceful.

Goo, your stomach growls.

Your appetite is good tonight, probably because you are in a better mood, you have eaten a lot of meat, and you have drunk several bowls of milk, and you can't eat anymore before you get out of the tent.

It was already dark, and the black night sky was already highlighting the shining stars.

You have just had dinner, you are a little hot and dry, and you want to blow the cool breeze of the night, and you plan to go to a higher place, lie there for a while, and see how many stars there are in the sky.

Doudou was also very full, and some were reluctant to go out for a walk with you, but under your bitter pleading, he finally compromised.

The nearest hill to my house is half an hour's walk across the river.

Walking on the grassland at night, you don't dare to come out alone without a little guts, but you are not afraid, you have Doudou. Doudou is much more vigilant than you, and his sense of hearing and smell is better than yours, so you don't have to worry about anyone suddenly approaching without you noticing.

When you come to the river, you will see the wide surface of the river sparkling, and if it weren't for the fact that there are still three huge stones in the middle to step on, you would not have come all the way to a high place.

You step on the stone cautiously, and Doudou leaps up behind you, with ease. The stone looks smooth, but if you are careful to step on it, you will not slip. You suddenly have the idea to sit here on a rock and look at the river in a few days.

Your destination tonight is not far away on that hill, where you are going to see the stars and lie on it to blow the cool breeze.

As soon as you stepped across the river, you heard an oh whoo whoo roar came from far away.

Is that...... Is that the sound of a wolf howling?

It's the first time you've heard such a clear voice, and you can't help but stick out your ears and listen carefully, but the Doudou you brought is not as stable as you, and it begins to panic, rubbing against you and screaming.

Shhhh Don't talk, Doudou, be quiet!

You've never yelled at Doudou like this, and Doudou suddenly calmed down, snuggling up to you tightly and lying at your feet.

I vaguely saw a black shadow emerging from the top of the mountain not far away, it was a wolf, a real wolf, not far from him.

You are very excited, but a little scared, and you quickly crouch down to soothe Doudou and calm yourself down at the same time.

It's dark, and the view of the grassland is not good, but the wolf's eyes can see far away at night, and not only that, but sometimes it will smell you, if you don't wipe your mouth clean after drinking fresh milk.

The wolf looked at you, and he didn't see that you were a human, but the smell of Doudou was delicious for a wolf.

The wolf in the distance roared a few times into the sky, and then slowly and leisurely walked towards you, but you didn't dare to move, you still wondered why you were walking towards you, did you find yourself when you found yourself?

The wolf stopped at a distance of ten meters and looked at you, and you slowly stood up, but you are less than one meter five tall in front of this adult wolf, and you are not much with a lamb, so you can't deter this wolf at all.

Beanie followed you to his feet, hiding behind your legs, shivering.

You don't have a weapon in your hand now, and you don't have the strength to fight such a strong wolf.

Just as you and the wolf are confronting, you can hear the roars of people and the sound of horses' hooves running far behind you, and you look back and see many people with torches coming around you.

It's Daddy! Doudou, we are saved!

You happily picked up Doudou, and Doudou gave you a blank look and snorted a few times in his mouth.

Ah, what kind of expression did you have, and I don't know who was hiding behind people just now, trembling with fear?

You squeeze Doudou vigorously, Doudou whines, you laugh.

The wolf not far away had run away when you looked back, and now it can't be found.

On the way home, your dad kept babbling, saying that you were talking about you and that, and you were still listening at first, and slowly your mind flew far away.

It was a very high place, with green mountains and beautiful scenery, and there was a wolf pack and a family. There were more than a dozen members of this family, and the leader was an old wolf, and the old wolf had three sons, each of whom was fat and strong, but no one was convinced, and they all wanted to be the leader of the wolf pack.

The competition for the leader is fierce, and you have no way of knowing from ten miles away.

Ever since you met the wolf that night, you have not thought about it, and you will often take out a pencil and paint a picture of the wolf on paper that you have not had time to look at carefully.

The wolf, with its black fur, its thick forelimbs and hind legs, was as high as its chest, and its piercing eyes were so bright in the night, brighter than the stars and moon in the sky, and its ears that moved with the wind.

You think about it and try to paint the spirit of the wolf over and over again, but after trying many times, you can't always be satisfied with your painting, and you always feel that something is missing, and you can't think of it after thinking about it for a long time, so you throw the brush aside, tear up all the paintings, and walk out of the tent in a huff.

In the distance, Doudou happily chased a sheep, having a lot of fun, and you laughed when you saw this scene.

After a few days, many sheep in the family were sick, and the doctor was vaccinated and the sheep were given medicine, and a few of them slowly got better, and a few of them were no longer able to stand up, lying on the ground for a day, and they couldn't stand up.

Later, I learned that someone saw a passenger on the car put the finished plastic bag food bag or something on the grassland, some sheep saw it and smelled good and ate it, resulting in gastrointestinal damage, the indigestible plastic bag blocked the sheep's stomach, and the sheep could not get nutrition plus gastrointestinal infection, so they got seriously ill.

When you encounter this kind of thing, you can only admit that you are unlucky.

One night there was a bleating sound in the flock, and when the people came out to look, they saw several wolves with sheep in their mouths.

Just when people were trying to go and chase the wolves away, your dad seemed to see something, stopped the people, and let the wolves take some of the sheep away. As he was leaving, a wolf glanced back.

Daddy, it's the wolf! It's the wolf!

Although it was far away, you still recognized the wolf you met the other day.

Shhh

Your dad quickly covered your mouth.

Early the next morning, when the people were cleaning the sheepfold, they realized that the wolves had taken away the sheep that had fallen ill in the past few days, and that the healthy sheep and even the lambs inside were safe.

After you know it, I admire my dad even more, and at the same time I am full of hope to see the wolf again.

Finish.
