Yu Xiaocao took a younger brother in one hand, followed behind the gray wolf, and walked towards the dark cave. Fortunately, all these years of eating, drinking, washing and washing have been added with spirit stone water, her eyesight has been strengthened, although the cave is very dark, she can still see the scene inside vaguely.

As he walked, he reminded the two younger brothers if there were any stones under their feet, and stumbled for a quarter of an hour before the gray wolf leading the way in front stopped.

Yu Xiaocao blinked, trying to look at the place where the gray wolf stood, where there was a smaller hole, more than half a human height, and she and her brothers could get into it with their waists. There was a faint humming of a small beast inside.

The gray wolf got inside, took a black animal out of it, and placed it at the grass's feet. Xiaocao squatted down and looked, it turned out to be a pure black little wolf cub. Xiaocao looked under the gray wolf's belly in surprise: "You have a baby?" I don't look like you! ”

The gray wolf's blue-green eyes flashed with disdain: The old paper is male, male! Then he twisted his ass and burrowed back into the hole, pulling out a pure white wolf cub. Yes, one black and one white, none of them resemble it!

"What do you mean? Show me that you have children and daughters? Yu Xiaocao guessed.

The gray wolf gave her another look of disdain and shook his head. Yu Xiaocao thought of the worries in the morning, could it be that this only spiritual gray wolf foresaw the difficulty of hunting in the future, so he wanted her to help raise cubs?

"Little wolf...... Do you want to give my children to me? Yu Xiaocao stared at the gray wolf's eyes and asked word by word.

The gray wolf glanced at the two little wolf cubs lovingly and nodded slowly. The mother of the little wolf cub went out to hunt a few days ago and never returned, so it must have been more than lucky. The little wolf cubs were screaming with hunger. The prey caught by the gray wolf, the little wolves are too small to eat, and only rely on licking the blood stains on it to survive until now.

Without mother's milk, the blood of the prey alone would not be enough to feed the two wolf cubs. The gray wolf could only watch his children, getting weaker and weaker, but there was nothing he could do. Unexpectedly, today I met the human who gave it a delicious liquid a long time ago, and after drinking those few drops of water, its physical fitness has improved significantly, and the wound has healed faster. With its intelligence, it intuitively thought that this female human would be able to help it save the lives of its two children.

"Second sister, if you have anything to say, let's go out and talk about it, okay? It's too dark here, Xiao Fangping is scared! Xiaoshi didn't say that he was afraid, and pushed Liu Fangping down.

And Liu Fangping was blind for a long time, and he was also stunned in his heart, and then echoed: "Yes, yes!" It's so dark, it's weird and scary! ”

Yu Xiaocao picked up the two weak little wolf cubs and said to the two younger brothers, "Pull up my clothes and don't get separated." And you, little wolf, come along! ”

After walking for two quarters of an hour, three people, one wolf, and two wolf cubs walked out of the cave and came to Yu Xiaocao's secret base, the hidden valley. The valley was not spared, and after the ravages of locusts, there was no longer the scene of flowers and trees, and it was even more bleak than when she came in winter. The green vegetation has been eaten away, leaving only jagged branches or rhizomes, and the hideous ground is exposed and the rocks are protruding. Fortunately, the stream is still babbling.

The two little guys who saw the light again saw that their sister (cousin) had two more black and white puppies in their hands, and excitedly chattered around her: "Second sister, where did the puppy come from, it's so cute!" Let me hug! ”

Liu Fangping also jumped up, stretched out his little hand, and screamed: "I want it too, I want it too!" But he was frightened back by the gray wolf guarding the cub with his teeth bared, and stood aside honestly, looking at the "little white dog" in Yu Xiaocao's hand.

Yu Xiaocao looked down at the two little wolves, it should not be a full moon yet, they are skinny, and they can see ribs one by one. The little wolf's eyes were already open, and the black one was pure blue, like a clear and transparent sapphire. The white one, with grayish-brown eyes, resembled sparkling opals. The two little ones lay obediently in her hands, looking at her trustingly with two pairs of cute big eyes. Because she has the same smell on her body as her father.

The two little wolves were so weak that they lay motionless in her hands, and they didn't even have the strength to raise their heads. If she had been a day and a half late, the two little ones would have been in danger.

Yu Xiaocao took the two little wolf cubs to the stream, dropped a drop of spirit stone liquid in the palm of his hand, added some stream water to dilute it, and sent it to the little wolf cub's mouth. The spirit stone water exuded a taste that was more tempting than wolf milk, and the two little wolf cubs who hadn't eaten for a long time instinctively licked the spirit stone water with their tongues. The spirit stone water in the palm of his hand was quickly licked up, and Yu Xiaocao didn't add it to them, because the little wolf cub was too small and weak to withstand too much aura. Drinking too much spirit stone water will backfire!

During the whole process of feeding the spirit stone water, the gray wolf squatted beside Yu Xiaocao, and with a loving gaze, he watched the two little wolf cubs drink the spirit stone water. Its throat moved, but it still resisted the temptation of the spirit stone water.

On the other side of Yu Xiaocao squatted Xiaoshi and Liu Fangping. Little Stone looked at the emaciated appearance of the two little wolf cubs and worried about whether they could feed them. Seeing that the little wolf cub was still licking his mouth after drinking the water, Xiao Shi said, "Second sister, are the dogs hungry?" I'll catch some fish and grill them for them! ”

The small white fish unique to the creek has delicate meat and is particularly delicious, whether it is grilled or stewed, Xiaoshi likes it. This time he came to the secret base with his second sister, and he specially brought a crockpot over, ready to catch some small fish and go back.

Yu Xiaocao looked at him narrowly and said, "Okay! If you can catch it! ”

Xiao Shi was eager to try, but thinking of the troubles that happened when he caught the small fish before, he squatted down again and said coquettishly: "I can't catch it, but don't you have a second sister?" Second sister, I'll help you hold the puppy, you go catch fish, catch more and come back. ”

Yu Xiaocao carefully handed over the two little wolf cubs to the little brother, and this time the gray wolf did not react in any way, but followed the little stone step by step, staring at his child without blinking.

Xiaocao caught a few grasshoppers from the grass, pinched them into several sections, sprinkled a few drops of spirit stone water, and then put the grasshopper crumbs on the edge of the stream. Liu Fangping asked curiously, "Second cousin, are you making bait?" Will the little fish be baited? What if it doesn't eat grasshoppers? ”

"If you look at it, you can see if the little fish will eat it or not!" Soon after the grasshopper debris was lowered into the stream, a school of small white fish swam in, each the size of a palm, with a slender and slender body, somewhat like the shape of a willow leaf.

Liu Fangping excitedly reached out to fish, and shouted in his mouth: "Little fish, little fish!" Quick, second cousin! Catch the fish!! ”

Yu Xiaocao smiled at his efforts to catch fish, and said, "Slow down!" Don't fall into the water. Wait, when the small fish gather a lot, we will use the net to catch it. ”

Yes, it was not easy to come to the secret base, and the siblings were well prepared. The little white fish gathered more and more, crowded into a piece of white flowers by the stream, reflecting the sun and shining with a pearl-like luster. Liu Fangping impatiently picked up the net pocket and stretched it out towards the place where there were the most fish. I went down in a net and caught more than a dozen small fish.

Liu Fangping happily put the fish into the crockpot and said, "These fish are so stupid, they don't know how to hide when the net comes!" Maybe there are no natural predators in the valley, it's too comfortable, right? ”

Xiaoshi pursed his lips and said in his heart: If there is no bait made by the second sister, do you think the little fish can hide? I've tried, and it's nice to catch one or two in an hour!

But Xiao Shi didn't say what was in his heart, he always knew that there were secrets in the second sister, and his intuition told him that if these secrets were spoken, it would be bad for the second sister. Therefore, at a young age, he buried this secret deep in his heart to protect his favorite sister.

Two children, one holding a puppy on the shore and watching, the other fishing for small fish with great interest. Yu Xiaocao saw that there was no danger nearby, so she walked around the stream. Many of the once flourishing flower clusters are now bare poles.

She remembered that her godmother said that there were many very valuable treasures. What a pity! Yu Xiaocao sprinkled diluted spirit stone water on the roots of some flowers, and I don't know if it will grow next year. She also thought that in the future, she would dig up a batch and sell it to Fucheng, or let her godfather and godmother help and sell it to the capital to make a small profit!

The valley was not very large, and she walked back and forth in less than half an hour. Surrounded by mountains and with only one hidden cave opening to the outside world, the valley is a great place to take refuge. If there is a war or something in the future, this is a paradise!

Yu Xiaocao was amused by her thoughts. Now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, where there is any war. Besides, if there is a war, it starts from the frontier first, and when it reaches Dongshan Village, the Ming Dynasty will be considered to be destroyed. The Ming Dynasty is strong and strong, and there are many outstanding generals, so there should be no war in a few decades.

Yu Xiaocao never expected that his random speculation would become a reality in the near future. This valley has also become a great contributor to sheltering the people of Dongshan Village. That's an afterword.

After Liu Fangping filled the crockpot that could hold ten catties of wine with small fish, the three sisters and brothers said goodbye to the gray wolf, drilled through the cave, crossed the mountains and forests, and returned to their home at the foot of the West Mountain.

On the way down the mountain, you will meet the craftsmen who are building the mountain villa on the mountain. Because of this locust plague, the Xishan Courtyard of King Jing's Mansion, which had already been built, was also forced to stop. The craftsmen were worried about the disaster at home, and they didn't have the heart to stay in Xishan anymore.

A few days ago, King Yangjun returned to Beijing and brought Princess Jing back to the capital. The steward, who supervised the construction of the Xishan Annex, had to go back to Beijing in person to report the suspension to his master.

The distant capital was also swept away by the locust plague, and the surrounding farmland was not lightly plagued by locusts, but compared to the locusts in Dongshan Village, which did not grow a single inch of grass after the locusts, it was quite good here, and at most the crops were reduced.
