316, Fanwai-Lone Wolf 4
The old wolf returned to the cave in despair, and the little gray wolf had crawled out of the grass nest and fell asleep in the middle of the cave.
It was probably in the middle of the night that the old wolf was not there, and the little guy was anxious, and he remembered the old wolf's instructions, and did not dare to howl to cause danger, so he waited for the old wolf in the middle of the acupuncture.
The old wolf who came back was unexpectedly silent, it looked at the young body of the little gray wolf, its cloudy eyes were weak, and gradually, its gaze gradually became firm.
The snowflakes in the forest are still flying unscrupulously, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, like dancing elves, enjoying the beauty of heaven and earth.
Another morning dew, the old wolf woke up in the licking of the little gray wolf, the little gray wolf's yellow eyes are changing, from the surging blue to more and more profound brown yellow, which shows that the little gray wolf is constantly growing, it is a healthy, able to grow up wolf.
However, during this winter, last night, the wolves refused to adopt this healthy cub.
Thinking of this, the old wolf's heart sank slightly, although it was prepared when it set off, it was still uncomfortable, but it knew the difficulties of the wolves, even the young wolves in the wolves had the possibility of being abandoned, let alone outside?
Although wolves have the responsibility to raise young wolves who have lost their parents, it does not mean that this obligation extends to the entire wolf family.
Last night, the she-wolf's refusal was clear, and the old wolf had no reason to deceive himself again.
Maybe the she-wolf thinks that the little gray wolf is too small to survive the winter, or maybe there are enough cubs of this age in the wolf pack, and they don't want to add to the burden to raise an abandoned young wolf with an uncertain future, but whatever the reason, the little gray wolf rejected by the wolf pack seems to be nowhere to go, and its only chance of life falls on the shoulders of the old wolf again.
"Huh~~" The little wolf depended on the old wolf affectionately, and then sent out the need to eat.
The old wolf's eyes darkened slightly, it went to the wolves last night for help not because it didn't want to raise this young wolf, but because it knew that it was difficult to protect itself, and food was the most difficult difficulty for it and the little bad wolf.
"Huh." The old wolf comforted the little gray wolf, saying that he would go out to look for prey, and let the little gray wolf obediently wait for it to return.
The little bad wolf was accustomed to this, and obediently turned back to the depths of the cave, lying on the grass nest, and his ignorant eyes showed a sensible appearance.
The old wolf will go out for a long time every day, the hunting time of the old wolf is deliberately changed, it tries to avoid the time period of the night, to avoid encountering the beast, after all, its strength has declined too much, even if it is very thin, but in the eyes of hungry predators, it is still a good ingredient for a full meal.
The old wolf crawled out of the cave slowly, carefully covering the entrance as usual, and then quietly walked in the direction of the forest.
But this time, before the old wolf had entered the rich area of the forest, a figure blocked its way.
A big gray-haired she-wolf stood in the snow-white landscape, holding a wild boar leg in her mouth, her cold eyes were deep, and she glanced at the old wolf deeply, and then turned away sharply.
The old wolf looked at the figure of the she-wolf, and then looked at the wild boar leg left not far away, and his eyes were slightly hot.
It is a wolf, it does not shed tears, but the cold and desperate heart of last night, at this moment, suddenly came alive.
——————————
Spring quietly arrives after the last snow falls, the chirping of birds and birds becomes joyful, the animal footprints begin to increase, the picture of the primeval forest begins to be quiet and mild, and the spring sun warms the earth, slowly touching the frozen forest.
"Huh." As an old wolf howl sounded softly, and half of the ice and snow melted through the hole, a gray wolf came out, and it whined and cheered, and was happy with satisfaction.
The old wolf put down the hare, and motioned for the little wolf to come and kill the hare.
This is the training of the old wolf to the little wolf, the little gray wolf who has been three months has been healthy and lively enough, but because of the winter, the old wolf did not take the little gray wolf out for activities, and the usual activities are only to walk around the mouth of the cave.
Now that spring is coming and the temperature is warming, the old wolf can rest assured that the little wolf can come out to see the world, and of course, the skills that should be learned are also on the agenda.
No, the old wolf has begun to teach the little wolf how to kill the prey, and the capture skills are still a little reluctant for the little wolf, and it is important to learn to be familiar with the use of their own minions first.
Wolves that are not sheltered by wolves must grow up quickly and become familiar with the skills of hunting as early as possible in order to survive for a long time.
The little bad wolf did not hesitate to kill its prey, it tentatively opened its mouth, and all kinds of bites on the hare, and finally, under the guidance of the old wolf, it successfully bit the hapless and devastated hare.
The old wolf looked at him with relief, and the little gray wolf survived, survived the cold winter, survived the dangerous pup period, and succeeded, and with his own efforts and the occasional help of the she-wolf, they survived until the arrival of spring.
At this moment, the old wolf felt as if he had completed a great mission, which made his heart full and refreshed, and it was an unparalleled sense of accomplishment.
The three-month-old wolf begins to change its teeth, and after the tooth change, the wolf will have stronger and sharper teeth, and at this time, it will begin to follow the old wolf through the forest, looking for and catching small and medium-sized prey.
The young wolf's teeth look slightly longer than the baby teeth, and they continue to grow, bigger, and the little gray wolf's hunting skills are the same as its fangs, growing and improving steadily.
Time turns, summer comes in the blink of an eye, the wild wolves leave this forest at the turn of spring and summer, and everything recovers in spring, it is very clear that the prey in this forest is consumed too much, and the speed of reproduction cannot keep up, and they must find a more suitable place to live before winter.
The big she-wolf came to see the old wolf and the little gray wolf, and she wanted the little gray wolf to join the pack and leave with them, but the little gray wolf refused, it didn't know the help given by the she-wolf, it only knew that the old wolf was its only parent.
The old wolf was very angry about this, it roared, howled, and drove away, but the little bad wolf was still unmoved, and even aggrieved.
The once immature young wolf has grown up, it resolutely stays, unwilling to leave the old wolf, and the wolf pack will not accept the old wolf, let alone slow down the pace of the old wolf, the insistence of the little bad wolf The big she-wolf understands and agrees, the members of the wolf pack have always had a strong emotional bond, the little bad wolf chooses to stay, and the big she-wolf never comes again.
The old wolf helplessly watched the wolves leave the forest, watched the former companions transfer their habitat, but it would not go, it grew in this land, and it will eventually return to this land.
But it is worried about the situation of the little gray wolf, it is already dying, and it is not far from death, and now that the wolves are gone, what will the little gray wolf do......
The six-month-old grey wolf has the ability to catch small prey, it is very talented in hunting, and it is very strong, and the little grey wolf has recently harvested more than the old wolf.
Of course, even then, they often have to go hungry, after all, small animals do not always have a better harvest than medium and large animals.
The old wolf was very pleased and satisfied with the growth of the little bad wolf, but he was still worried in his heart.
Wolves do not exist without solo, some wolves will leave the wolf pack when they reach adulthood, wander around until they meet another single person of the opposite sex, and then start a family to establish a new wolf pack to reproduce.
The wild wolf in this survival mode is the lone wolf, and it is also the stage that most head wolves must go through, and the lone wolf will not find a territory to guard and wait for the opposite sex to come to the door, they will only keep going. Lone wolves will travel long distances for a long time, and wandering 1,000 kilometers is trivial.
The old wolf knows this, but he doesn't want the little bad wolf to embark on such a difficult journey, the first wolf is infinitely beautiful and majestic in the wolf pack, but the hardships he has suffered are far from being comparable to the wolves living under the protection of the wolf pack.
The little bad wolf did not know the worries of the old wolf, and he hunted hard every day, working hard to feed himself and the old wolf.
The old wolf's physical strength has become worse and worse, and now it can only be a little threatening to small animals such as hares.
The little gray wolf can see that the old wolf's physical strength is weak, so it works harder and harder, and the skills taught by the old wolf, the experience of survival and hunting, it is studying carefully and applying what it has learned.
The little wolf who has been catching prey all day long is undoubtedly active, fortunately, there are no large dangerous beasts in this forest, the herbivores of the forest are not strong, even the only wild wolf pack has retreated, and the Far Eastern leopard, tiger and other beasts leave early for life, and no beast will stay in a barren forest where there is not enough to eat.
Invisibly, the danger of the little wolf and the old wolf is much less, and the old and the weak live a safe and smooth life in the middle of summer.
——————————
During the hottest summer months, the rain in the forest is always very strange, and a heavy rain is often unpredictable.
After a heavy rain last night, the ditch that temporarily settled was flooded by the rain, and the little bad wolf and the old wolf were unable to find a 'home' again.
One old and one young walked all the way down the moist forest belt, and as the weeds under their feet gradually increased, and the trees gradually thinned, a rocky beach soon appeared in sight.
The reeds are rooted in the soil of the riverbank, swaying with the turbulent flood waves, the turbid waves are rolling in the river and rushing endlessly, the sound of the water is surging, and the roar of the mountains and rivers is swaying.
The old wolf walked to the shore and drank water on the rocky beach carefully, the river was swept ashore in waves, soaking the wolf's claws, and the little gray wolf only stood in the shallow position of the rocky beach, it knew that the clear river in the past was no longer gentle, and would not be stupid to add to the great power of nature.
After drinking the water, they continued to walk along the forest on the riverbank, and at some point, the bright sunlight disappeared between the leaves, the original blue sky was obscured by dark clouds one after another, the dreary temperature was unusually hot, dragonflies and birds flew low, and it was clear that a rainstorm was about to come.
The little gray wolves looked at the sky a little anxiously, they urgently needed a place to shelter from the rain.
Its body is naturally not afraid of one or two heavy rains, but the old wolf's body is getting worse and worse, and the spirit is becoming more and more depressed after being drenched in a rain two days ago. There was a faint uneasiness in its heart.
The old wolf looked at the gray wolf with his footsteps, knowing the other party's worries, but he was powerless to persuade him, but the cloudiness in his eyes became more and more moist as the raindrops fell.
The rainstorm finally poured down after brewing bit by bit, and the raindrops the size of beans fell to the ground, patting birds and insects, and smashing down fine branches and leaves.
The little gray wolf and the old wolf hid under a big tree, but the trunk of the big tree was strong and good, but the sparse leaves leaked even the sunlight, let alone the rain.
The sound of crackling rain was endless, and not long after the rainstorm fell, the two wolves, one big and one small, were already like chickens in soup.
The half-sized gray wolf stood up, and his not yet strong body tried to block the raindrops that kept falling for the old wolf, but to no avail.
The old wolf looked at the stubborn gray wolf who was still standing by his side to block the rain, his heart was hot, but his body couldn't help but get colder and colder, and his tiredness couldn't stop surging up, his eyes were slightly closed, and his eyelids couldn't hold it up, so he could barely open a small slit.
The curved eyelashes were covered with droplets, and as the rain continued to drip and gather, the old wolf suddenly felt very hot again, from the heart to the whole body, and then, suddenly, he breathed heavily, as if his nostrils were blocked, and his sluggish spirit made his brain more and more confused.
It flickered, as if it heard the childish cry of the little gray wolf......
The misty eyes couldn't be opened, the heavy eyelids seemed to be glued, and it felt that its body was becoming warmer, as if it was returning to its mother's embrace......
The crackling rain in my ears began to mold the lake, and gradually turned into the howl of the wolves, there were joyful, hard, angry, all kinds of wolf howls poured into the ears, and the old wolves thought in the lake, it, ...... they came back?
"Whew!
A heart-rending roar exploded in his head, and the old wolf's chaotic thoughts were paused, and then quickly became clear.
Heavy eyes suddenly opened, and the viscous vision began to clear.
The gray wolf looked at the old wolf who opened his eyes and showed joy, and he leaned anxiously against the old wolf and howled, trying to cheer up the old wolf.
The old wolf looked at the little gray wolf, with a smile in his eyes, he looked at the little gray wolf seriously, looking at this wolf cub raised by himself, seven months, the seven-month-old wolf has learned to hunt, learned to hide, and knows how to survive in the forest.
......A weak howl sounded in the raindrops, and then the old wolf's head slowly drooped, and his cloudy eyes closed again.
"Boom—" A thunderclap rang out just in time.
"Huh——!
”
The howl of the little bad wolf continued to rise with the thunder, but the old wolf lay quietly under the tree, his wet hair darkening in the light of lightning.
There was no response to the long call, and the little gray wolf stood in place in a daze, beside the old wolf, treating himself as a giant umbrella, unswervingly shielding the old wolf from the wind and rain, hoping that the old wolf could open his eyes again.
The summer rainstorm comes and goes on quickly, the clouds disperse and the wind clears, and the sun shines on the earth again.
Under the tree, the sound of ticking raindrops continued one after another, and the lonely gray wolf was still standing there, its head lowered decadently, looking at the old wolf with closed eyes, not daring to test the breath of the other party.
The heavy rain soaked the hair, outlining its thin body, and after a long time, the little gray wolf rushed out reluctantly, towards the forest, blindly and persistently looking for something.
The rain on its body was blown away by the wind and dried by the sun, and the embarrassed little gray wolf was no longer wet, and it finally turned around and galloped away in the direction of the tree.
Back under the tree, the little gray wolf lay down, let the muddy rain stain its hair, and gently leaned against the motionless old wolf, the cold old wolf had no breath of life.

The little gray wolf stood up, carefully licked the old wolf's hair, and then dragged the thin old wolf, step by step, slowly moving in one direction.
The collapsed hillside gradually appeared in sight, and there was a sunken cave at the bottom of the collapsed dirt slope, not deep, one meter deep, but it contained the withered body of the old wolf.
Put the old wolf into the cave it found, the little gray wolf lay next to the cave, messily covered with mud next to the old wolf, just like the old wolf tried to warm it when the wind and snow were combined, and at this moment, it was also trying to warm the old wolf.
——————————
"Boom—"
The roar caused by the avalanche was terrifying, like the memory of a mountain slope that collapsed again.
The Snow Wolf King, who had fallen into the memory, suddenly came back to his senses, his icy blue eyes blinked, and the moist water vapor disappeared.
