Then in the grass in front of them, they found some ground vegetables, porcini mushrooms, wolfberry buds, locust tree buds, and locust flowers, and then went further and found some wheat, shy rice, and green grass, and there were a lot of things, which were enough for them to eat two meals.

The father was worried about how to bring these things back, and the children had already come to him, and when they came back, they did not find the father, so they asked the dog to lead the way to this place. When he came to the hut, the fire inside was almost burning, and the eldest son hurriedly added some firewood.

The eldest son happily told his father that they had also found some bamboo shoots while chopping firewood and brought them back.

The father and the eldest son also piled some stones on the edge of the hut and brought in a few large stones half a man high, so that even if a large animal came, it would not be a problem.

The second son carried a bamboo tube to the stream, fetched water, and began to cook.

It was getting dark, and it was estimated that it would soon be dark, and before the little ones who had gone out hunting had returned, my father told the little ones around them to shout loudly, telling them to come back quickly, and not wait until it was dark.

Just after barking a few times, there was a sound of dogs barking back in the grove in front of them, and the eldest son and the second son hurriedly brought two dogs to help.

After a while, I saw the branches of the tree swaying, and the children came out with a black goat on their shoulders, followed by dogs and little wolves, jumping and jumping briskly, two dogs were still biting something in their mouths, and when they came closer, it was a thing like a mouse and a wild dog, and the father smiled and said that this was a red fox, and it was running fast.

Before dark, they hurried to pile up three piles of dry firewood outside the hut, which could be lit at any time if there was a problem, and the rest of the firewood had been picked and all moved into the hut and piled up, and the black goats were also cleaned up by the stream, and the entrails and skins were called to the dog and the little wolf to fight for food when they were tidying up.

Seeing how greedy they were, my father simply cut off a small piece. The rest were chopped into several pieces with an axe, and they were given all parts to eat, and when they were finished, they burped one by one.

The two red foxes are to be saved for tomorrow's breakfast, so everyone will put them away.

After entering the hut, the eldest son and his father put away a few large stones that were prepared at the door, just enough to block the door. The second son is in charge of cooking tonight, and everyone wants to taste how he cooks.

After packing these up, it was also dark, and after the dog and the little wolf were full, they were probably exhausted, and they lay on the ground one by one, comfortably watching the owner busy.

The father put the steel drill into the fire and burned it, sharpened several wooden spears, and the eldest son took the killing knife and axe. Keep it handy and always ready for the dangers that may arise at night.

After dark, the plains of the valley, which had been quiet, slowly began to be lively, and some animals began to come out to look for food, and some probably smelled the smell of meat wafting from the thatched hut, so they came over and smelled it, and when they felt the smell of dogs and wolves here, they all quietly slipped away. Some animals are slow and grazing some grass nearby. I peed again before staggering away, presumably these were grazing animals, and I couldn't smell the dangerous smell of dogs and wolves.

Seeing the dog and the little wolf lying comfortably on the ground, everyone knew that there was no danger in this, so they ate by themselves, ignoring the movement outside.

Father bowed his head and cleaned up the bed. Sorting through the things he had brought with him, the eldest son listened intently to the sounds of the night—at least one person had to pay attention to the surroundings at all times, and no one could tell what would happen in a place they had never been before.

When the bed was tidied up, my father made a few more torches. He found that some of the fir trees in the dry firewood brought by the children had fir drafts on them, so he cut them down specially and pinched a handful of hay, and then tied them with small rattans, and inserted a wooden stick pinched by hand in the middle, which became a good manuscript fire.

It was already midnight after everyone had taken turns to have dinner, and they felt that the night here passed as fast as the sun during the day.

The children wanted their father to sleep first tonight, but the father said that he would not sleep and let the eldest son sleep first, not to mention that although this place looked inconspicuous, he faintly felt a little unusual, so he had to listen to it first and then say, he would not be able to sleep either.

So he let the eldest son sleep and rest first. All the dogs and wolves were divided into two groups, three dogs and a little wolf at a time to sleep and rest, and the rest stood guard and walked around, on guard at any time, and everyone worked every hour.

The father and the second son sat down face to face, and one of them had a knife or axe in his hand, and from time to time he looked at the steel drill burned in the fire, and when it felt hot, he took it out and soaked it in cold water to prevent it from softening.

Outside, at night, except for the sound of some animals walking by, chewing grass, and some small insects screaming irritably, there was no sound of wind, no fighting and yelling, and even the sound of running quickly, everything seemed so quiet.

My father couldn't figure it out, could it be that he had miscalculated? Or was there something else?

The second son was also a little uneasy, always feeling as if something was wrong.

Except for telling him to put his ears up and watch the movements outside, his father didn't say anything else.

From time to time, the two cubs added some firewood, and said a few words casually.

In the second half of the night, the father went to sleep, and the eldest son and the second son were on guard.

Because there was no movement for a long time, everyone was a little drowsy.

Just when both of them felt a little drowsy and couldn't open their eyes, the eldest son suddenly woke up, feeling that there seemed to be some movement nearby, and then opened his eyes to see the dog and the little wolf, only to see their hair stand on end, as if they had found something extremely dangerous, and quickly picked up a wooden stick beside him, reached over and knocked the second son's arm and his father's foot.

They all woke up and hurried to grab what they had at hand.

The eldest son jumped to his feet, lifted the drill, and stared at the thatch around him. At this time, I saw a gopher head poking in through the thatch, the eldest son did not hesitate to raise the steel drill and stab, the dog and the little wolf also jumped up and opened their mouths to bite, the gopher reacted very quickly, and before these things touched it, it had already retracted.

My father turned to look behind him, and saw a dire wolf jumping straight from the roof of the thatched hut - this was the easiest place to attack, and the rest of the place was either blocked by stones, or the wood was tightly tied to get in, but this was the place where the smoke ran away, leaving a large opening.

The eldest son raised the steel drill and stabbed it, the second son didn't cut it with an axe, and before the father turned around, the dire wolf had already pounced on him.

The dog and the wolf cub pounced on the dire wolf without saying a word. My father was still sleeping just now, and he was wearing a thick coat, and this time the dinosaur didn't want to bite his flesh, but only bit a piece of plush skin on the back of his big coat.

Before the dire wolf could continue to speak, the eldest son's steel drill had already been poked, and the second son's axe was immediately cut off, one poked into the buttocks, and the other into the stomach, and the dire wolf, which was taller than a human, immediately withered.

Just when everyone wanted to take a breath, the gopher that had just retracted came in again, this time without waiting for the eldest son and the second son to react, a little wolf had already jumped up, opened its mouth and bit the ear of the gopher, and the gopher, which was as big as a wild boar, did not expect to be bitten by the animals inside at once, and fell upside down.

The place where the gopher fell was closest to the father, and I saw the father jump over in one step, and rode on the gopher, and the eldest son and son also jumped over in two steps, some grabbed their legs, some grabbed their tails, and then the dog and the little wolf also followed, biting their ears, biting their necks, and biting their feet, so that the gopher had no room to move, and it didn't take long for everyone to move.

The gopher was tied with vines and its beak, and everyone was so tired that they were panting for breath, and they really wanted to rest for a while.

Father opened a crack in the straw shed, looked at the starry sky outside, and the night was deep, and felt that this evening was so long.

The father told the eldest son to go to sleep, and he and the second son stood guard.

After the second son fell asleep, the day was bright, and the father hurriedly opened breakfast, there was a lot of meat today, in addition to eating some wild vegetables, they ate a lot of meat, and the dog and the little wolf also took turns to eat enough.

At this time, it was already dawn, and everyone went out of the hut to see the situation outside.

Last night, my father thought about staying here for a few more days, finding out the situation, and finding the route, and then he couldn't go forward in such a daze.

Since I don't leave, I won't have anything to do today, I have a lot of food, enough to eat for two days, and I just need to chop some more firewood.

In this way, we used half a day to cut a lot of firewood nearby, and there were also a lot of thorns, the whole grass shed was enclosed in a circle, and a layer was laid on the top and side of the grass shed.

Looking at this, my father thought that he hoped that tonight would be better, so that he would not be able to sleep all night.

After eating a little casually, everyone discussed what to do in the second half of the day.

The eldest son wanted to see if there were any obvious road signs in the vicinity. The second son wants to take a break, and he is worried that it will not be easy tonight.

My father thought about walking along the bank of the creek to see what it was like, but he didn't think he could find anything nearby.

The children thought that what their father had said seemed more interesting, so they all agreed to go ahead and have a look. Before they went out, they covered the hut with thorns, so that other animals would not dare to go into the hut and cause trouble.

We walked down the shallow bushes by the river, and along the way there were wild flowers and green grass, and every now and then a wild hare passed, and if it were not for the occasional golden pheasant flying, the little ones would have gone to play mischievously, knowing that they had eaten a lot today, and there was no need to catch animals.
