When the young leader was lying motionless on the snow, the old wolf walked up to the she-wolf, his demeanor was both triumphant and cautious, he thought he would be rejected, but unexpectedly, the red wolf did not show his teeth angrily. She treated him kindly for the first time. She sniffed with him, and even like a puppy, she bent herself and jumped around to play with him. He also behaves like a puppy, even clumsy, and although he is in his twilight years, he has a lot of sensible experience. The romances written in blood on the snow, the enemies that were destroyed, have all been forgotten. He half-twisted his lips and roared, the hair on his neck and shoulders rose involuntarily, he crouched down slightly and prepared to jump, his claws spasming firmly on the snow to stand firmer. In an instant, everything was forgotten. The red wolf shyly lured him in the woods to chase him, and he jumped and ran after her. They run side by side like friends who have gained understanding. They lived together, hunting together, killing and eating their prey. Hua Mulan saw it in her eyes, and she said to the Hulk and Brother Yixiu: "The world of animals, the world of people, the world of all things, who laughs at people and beasts?" ”……

After a while, the red wolf becomes restless, as if looking for something that cannot be found. She seemed to be interested in the caves that had fallen under the trees, and spent a lot of time sniffing at the large snow-covered crevices in the rocks and the caves in the abrupt riverbank. The old wolf was not interested, but he patiently followed her to find it. When she lingered too long in some places, he lay down and waited until she was ready to move on. They are not always in one place. Along the way, they returned to the Amazon again, and along the river, often hunting along the small rivers that connect with the river, but always back to the Amazon. Sometimes, when they meet other wolves, most of them in pairs, however, neither side expresses friendship or friendship, neither joy nor the idea of an alliance. They also occasionally encounter some lonely walkers, always male wolves, eager to go with the one-eyed old wolf and his spouse, the red wolf, causing the old wolf's indignation. When they stand side by side, their teeth baring and their hairs stand up, the lonely ones who are full of hope have no choice but to retreat, run away, and continue on their own path.

One moonlit night, when they were running among the silent trees, the old wolf suddenly stopped, raised his mouth and tail, and opened his nostrils to smell the air. He also imitated a dog, standing on one foot, desperately trying to understand the information. His wife understood with just a casual sniff, and to reassure him, she ran to the front in small steps. He ran after her, still skeptical and hesitant, pausing occasionally to study more carefully what the sign was. The red wolf crept out of the edge of a large clearing in the woods, and stood alone for a while, and then the old wolf crawled over to the ground, standing side by side, observing, listening, and smelling, every sense highly vigilant, and every hair radiating infinite doubt.

At this time, the Hulk also heard the noisy fighting of dogs, the shouting of men, the sharp quarreling of women, and they seemed to hear the sharp cry of a child. They saw only a few fires except for a few large objects made of small tents made of leather, interspersed with the coming and going of people, smoke rising slowly in the silent air, and they smelled a thousand scents of an indigenous camp. The old wolf doesn't know most of the information it contains, but the red wolf knows every detail. She sniffed and sniffed, getting more and more happy, strangely excited. The old wolf was suspicious, a little frightened, and wanted to run away. The red wolf turned around, touched his neck with his mouth to comfort him, and looked at the camp again. Mulan was surprised to find that a new thoughtful expression appeared on the red wolf's face, but it was not the kind of thoughtfulness created by hunger. She trembled with a desire that drove her forward, to approach the fire, to quarrel with the dogs, to dodge the trampling of the people.

The old wolf moved impatiently to and fro, and she regained her restlessness, and knowing that what she desperately needed was to find what she was looking for, she turned back into the woods. The old wolf was relieved, and he ran ahead a little until the trees completely covered them. They glided silently like shadows in the moonlight, and saw the footprints of a wild beast, and the two noses were close to the footprints in the snow, the footprints were fresh, and the old wolf ran very carefully in front, and his mate followed. The old wolf saw a white blur moving in the white expanse. His steps were already unbelievably fast, but they weren't as fast as the thing was running now. The blurry white dot he spotted was running and jumping in front of him. They ran on a narrow road lined with small trees, through which they could see that the junction of the path led to a moonlit clearing. The old wolf was about to catch up with the fleeing white thing, and he jumped and leaped, caught up, and came to its side, and if he pounced again, he could bite it. At this moment, a white thing hung high in the air, just above it, and it turned out to be a little rabbit jumping around, dancing strangely in the air above his head, but it couldn't fall to the ground.

The old wolf took a step back, snorted in surprise, and then cowered in the snow, and with a roar to frighten the terrible incomprehensible thing, but the red wolf calmly rushed past it, hesitated, jumped up and pounced on the dancing rabbit. She jumped high, but still couldn't reach her prey, her teeth clenched into the air, and she made a metallic crashing sound. She jumps again...... Watching from the sidelines, I gradually relaxed from the crouching position. He became increasingly unhappy with her repeated failures. So he jumped up with all his might, bit the rabbit, and dragged it to the ground. At that moment, there was a cracking sound, and a small tree was bending towards his head. He let go of his mouth and jumped back, dodging this strange danger. The old wolf curled his lips and bared his teeth, his throat growling, each hair standing up in panic and rage. At this time, the slender little tree stood straight again, and the rabbit was again hanging in the air and dancing. The red wolf got angry, and she bit her partner's shoulder with her teeth condemningly. He panicked, for some reason it led to this attack, panicked and fought back viciously, tearing the side of the red wolf's face, his wife didn't expect to fight back against his punishment at all, so he roared indignantly and pounced on her husband, but he quickly realized his mistake and wanted to comfort her. Still, she punished him in earnest, until he gave up all thoughts of comfort, turned in circles, and turned his head to let his shoulders bear her teeth.

The rabbits were still jumping in the air above them. Now the red wolf sat down in the snow, and the old wolf, fearing that his mate was more than the mysterious little tree, jumped up again and pounced on the rabbit. As he brought the rabbit back to the ground, he looked at the little tree with his eyes, and the tree fell back to the ground as he had done the last time. In the face of the blow to the head, he shrunk his body, his mane standing on end, but his teeth still clenched the rabbit. The little tree had been bent on it, and when he moved, he gritted his teeth and yelled at it, and when he didn't move, it didn't move, so he decided that it was safer to stay still. The taste of rabbit blood in his mouth was wonderful, and the red wolf rescued him from his predicament. She took the rabbit's head in his mouth. When the little tree swayed over his head full of threat, she decisively bit off the rabbit's head. The little tree immediately rebounded, and after that, it stopped causing trouble, and was straight, straight, and kept the way nature had given it...... The wolf couple searched the nearby roads, and on other paths there were rabbits hanging in the air, and the red wolf led the way, and the old wolf obediently followed, learning how to steal prey.

The couple stayed near the natives' camp for two days, and they agreed that the Hulk would follow them all the way. The old wolf was particularly tired and afraid of this place, but the temptation of the camp made the red wolf reluctant to leave, so he had nothing he could do. Hua Mulan sometimes feels: "It's like two people going to listen to Li Boqing's commentary, the husband doesn't want to listen to it, and wants to call his wife to go halfway, but the wife wants to listen to it, and she doesn't leave, often the husband has no choice, and he comes back and sits down to continue listening." If it is the opposite situation, the wife shouts to leave, and often the husband leaves together as soon as he lifts his buttocks. Brother Yixiu thought to himself: "Wolf nature and human nature, commonality, this is the unity of all things." ”

Finally, one morning, a shocking gunshot rang out not far away, and the light particle gun struck the trunk of a tree only a few inches from the old wolf's head. This made it impossible for them to hesitate any longer and leave the danger far behind. They hadn't gone too far, only two days away, but Red Wolf's search for what she needed was clearly more urgent. She became bulky and could only run slowly. Once, the Hulk saw that she was chasing a rabbit, which she would normally have easily captured, but this time she lay down to rest. Seeing this, the old wolf walked to the side and gently touched her neck with his mouth to comfort her, and she suddenly bit him viciously. He tried his best to avoid her teeth, and fell into a somersault, and was terrified. Now, her temper was worse than ever, and he had an unprecedented patience and apprehension. The river flows into the Amazon in the summer and is now entirely frozen.

She came across a towering dirt bank and ran diagonally. Heavy rains and snowmelt hit the bottom of the river, scooping away a lot of earth, and a narrow crack was washed into a small hole. She stood at the mouth of the cave and carefully observed every part of the shore wall, then ran along the shore foundation from this side of the bank wall to where the steep embankment joined the relatively flat field, and then burrowed back into the narrow mouth of the hole. The first section was less than three feet high, and she carefully examined the hole, dry and comfortable. By this time, the old wolf had returned, standing patiently at the entrance of the cave and guarding her. With her head down, her nose close to the ground, she circled a few times around the point near her feet that were joined together, then let out a tired sigh, curled up, stretched her legs, and lay down with her head towards the hole. The husband smiled at her, his pointed ears pricked up to show great interest, and then the white light of the hole, and the wife saw him wagging his tail happily. She also curled up with her body, put her ears back on her head for a while, and dragged her tongue loosely with her open mouth to express satisfaction and joy. Mulan sometimes envied the couple, she recalled the love she once fell in love at first sight, the married life when she lived in a wooden house when she was panning for gold...... A thought welled up in her heart: "Love is the truth, only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals." No matter how hard and dangerous the road ahead, we must continue to complete this wolf journey, the journey of conscience......"
