Chapter Twenty-Five: Friends with Wolves
We sat by the door, expecting to have lunch first, but we didn't expect something to move towards us in the fog. However, judging from the speed of movement, it doesn't seem to be dangerous, and if you can come over with some guardian or something, answer all our questions, treat us well, and then send us out safely, it will be everyone's dream.
With great anticipation, I waited for the figure floating in the fog, and the appearance of various mysterious women appeared in my mind. But the closer the moving object gets, the more we feel that something is wrong.
When we fully saw what it was, everyone stood up in fright, forgot to put the shrimp in their hands into their mouths, and all leaned against the stone door and retreated together.
It was the wolf of last night, and it was like a walk, jogging briskly and nimbly to a short distance of us, and its fur looked better during the day, and its heavy fur was shiny as it trotted as it staggered.
In the mouth of the wolf, there was a large fish in his mouth, the species of the fish was unknown, at least twenty catties.
The wolf stopped not far from us, bowed his head respectfully, opened his mouth, put the fish in his mouth on the ground, let out a long howl, turned and looked back at us, and wandered away.
When the wolf disappeared into the fog again, a few of us ran happily to the big fish like children with birthday presents.
The fish was still alive in the hands of the fat brother, and the fat brother said happily: "Haha, that's right, those fruits are the food that the wolf sent us, look, this time it is the fish, and the recipe is changed every meal, which is really thoughtful." ”
The fish, which everyone usually doesn't want to touch, is now like a treasure, and they all rush to touch the fish, and I think I am flattered, but the main reason for everyone's happiness is that the wolf comes from it.
Originally, we thought that the animals were mortal enemies, but they took the initiative to throw a signal of friendship to us, since the wolves are on our side, then if we encounter any danger in the future, maybe there will be a group of more powerful helpers, and the safety problem will be solved first.
Then there is this extraordinary relationship between animals and people, which makes everyone excited, and the creatures at the top of the food chain that were incomparably fierce in our hearts have now become so easy to get along with, and the wolf has immediately changed from insidious and cunning and vicious in our hearts to kind, sensible, intelligent and lovely animals.
No matter what eats people's mouths, how can we be embarrassed to refuse the kindness of the wolves? Everyone didn't need to divide the labor, so they all got busy, and after a while, the big fish had been turned into a fragrant delicacy under Jiang Li's skillful barbecue skills.
I took a knife and cut the fish into sections, and everyone ate happily with the water in the pot.
While eating the fat brother, he also reminded everyone: "Hey, you eat less, leave some of the fish, in case our wolf friends come, give them food, don't let us all eat it." ”
In all fairness, I am also a confidant and friend of the fat brother, he eats regardless of the problems of others, I have spent more than 20 years without changing, but I didn't expect that because of a wolf's charcoal in the snow, he immediately turned a 180-degree turn. It seems that this time the fat brother is not only grateful, but more moved, and treats the wolves as friends from the bottom of his heart.
Although everyone hasn't eaten enough, they still consciously left half of the fish uneaten, looking forward to the wolf appearing again, and we can express our gratitude by offering flowers to the Buddha. After waiting for a long time, the wolves didn't show up, and it seems that the wolves are quite busy, and they don't have so much time to come and see us.
The fat brother cut the remaining half of the fish and redistributed it to everyone, leaving the largest piece for himself.
I laughed at the fat brother and said, "Don't you leave it for Brother Wolf?" ”
The fat brother smiled and said, "Hey, people can catch it themselves, and if they can't afford to eat one of us, you can eat it steadily." ”
I immediately retorted: "I have something unsteady, I'm afraid it's cold someone's filial piety." ”
The fat brother squinted at me, took a bite of the fish meat fiercely, signaled his demonstration, stuffed his mouth with fish meat, and did not speak again.
The advantage of the big fish is that there are almost no spines, only the big fish bones in the middle, and we eat the rest of the fish in two bites.
The fish in the fat brother's mouth had not yet been fully swallowed, and the howl of a wolf came from the fog again.
Su Rina patted the fat brother on the back and said, "It's over, the people are back, you have eaten all the fish and meat, and Brother Wolf should eat you when he is angry." ”
The fat brother replied to Su Rina angrily: "Go and go, what does the little girl know?" What this means is, are you full? Let's go, get to work. ”
Jiang Li smiled and said to the fat brother: "Don't talk nonsense, why don't I know that you still understand wolf language?" ”
I immediately explained for the fat brother: "It's not that he understands wolf language, fools know that this is the call of the wolves, it must be the same as before, telling us to go in that direction, to lead us to a place." ”
Jiang Li pointed to the big stone door behind him and asked, "Then we won't open this door?" I also want to see what's behind the door. ”
Yan Qiu said: "Maybe when the wolf king sent the fish just now, he saw that we couldn't open the gate and led us to take the path." ”
Jiang Li had no choice but to give up, and said helplessly: "Okay, let's go and see, anyway, this door is here, and we can't run." But that wasn't the Wolf King. ”
I immediately asked her, "How do you know that it's not the wolf king, and you know the wolf?" ”
Jiang Li said: "I know a lot about animals, and didn't the unicorn say it before?" Those who come out to hunt are all female wolves, and the real wolf king is a male wolf. The wolf king's job is only to manage the clan system and adjust the relationship between the members of the wolf pack. The person who commands the hunting operation can only be called the head wolf, that is, the squad leader who leads the hunting team, and is generally the wolf queen. ”
"The wolves still need mediation? Could it be that the wolf king in the wolf pack is the director of the neighborhood committee? "I don't understand.
Jiang Li was amused by me and replied: "Let's just say that, wolves are also groups, and there will be internal contradictions, so there needs to be a wolf king with far superior strength to be the middleman and stabilize the social relations in the wolf pack." For example, after the head wolf hunts, he brings back the food, and those wolves who participate in the hunt will get more food, and those who contribute less will get less, or simply starving, and will naturally express dissatisfaction with the wolves who distribute the food. Moreover, the systems of various wolf packs are also different, and some wolf queens do not allow other she-wolves and wolf kings to have babies, except for their own daughters. The wolf queen herself can be very casual, so in some wolf packs, some second-generation female wolves are likely to be half-brothers. The kind of male wolf that the unicorn said, the state of a group of wives is not like this for all wolves, only a minority in the wolf pack. ”
Jiang Li's theory made all of us dumbfounded, but I didn't expect that Jiang Li knew more about the habits of wolves than Unicorn.
This also reflects that Jiang Li is indeed an ancient spirit, when the unicorn told us, she actually didn't say a word, didn't agree or refute, and pretended to be stupid and curious, but the simple and ignorant appearance deceived us all, and this trick is far from losing to her sister who can act, and they are really twins, and the genes are absolutely the same.
The wolves howled again, and we knew it was urging, and we didn't dare to delay too much, so everyone picked up their bags and went back on the road.
It was another long journey, and the ancient battlefield was also brought to the edge by us, and the broken white bones had been slowly left behind by us, only to find that they had been walking in the pile of white bones, and everyone's eyes were spent, even if they left the white bones everywhere, the shadow of the white bones kept shaking in front of them, and it took a long time to regain their feet.
After a while, there was a wolf howl, and there was a sound of rushing water in front of us, and we are now old drivers, and we know from the sound of the water that it is not a big river.
Why don't you say that you have acquaintances who are easy to do? We were tired and thirsty, and the water in the pot was just depleted, and the river appeared, just in time to replenish our water reserves.
Everyone quickened their pace and walked to the river, according to my understanding, it should be that the more you get to the river, the fog will get bigger, but I didn't expect to get to the river, the fog will disappear completely, and you can see the sun overhead.
The fog was gone, visibility was higher, and an oasis of herbaceous plants appeared on the other side of the river.
On the big rock by the river, three wolves squatted, and four or five sat under the stone, all looking at the five of us intently, like an advertisement for a certain brand of clothing.
These wolves are all about the same size, and there is actually only one color, black and gray, but some are gray, and some are black.
Without thinking too much, we know that this group is the same group of wolves that have been guiding us since we first met us last night.
Although we already knew that the wolves were not hostile, we were still afraid to get too close, and only rested by the river far away, washing our faces and fetching water, and getting rid of the fatigue of walking. R1058
