Chapter 6: Knowing My Origins
Winter turns to spring, and in Lin Yin's backyard, wolf cubs are playing with a group of wolf cubs.
The wolf cub is Lin Shuai, Lin Shuai is nearly one year old at this time, although he can't walk, he is trembling and crawling on the ground. Cheerful, chasing a few little wolves with whom he amused. From time to time, he barks like a wolf, and seems to be happy to play with the wolf cub like this.
Lin Yin didn't go out to collect medicine today, nor did he go to his own pharmacy for a consultation, but was molting a few mountain rabbits.
He has plucked the skin of the mountain rabbit many times, and he does not seem as clumsy as before.
He fixed the rabbit to a herringbone frame, and the rabbit head was threaded through an iron fiber and fixed to the herringbone frame. Lin Yin held a three-inch wooden knife in his hand and slashed it in the middle of the rabbit's head. Then at the rabbit's chin, a small vertical opening is made. The whole gap forms a T-shape.
At the opening, lift the rabbit skin a little and slowly pull it off along the rabbit body. When pulling out the rabbit leg, cut off the joint of the rabbit leg with a knife. Pull it down again until you reach the rabbit's tail. A whole rabbit skin was pulled off.
After plucking the rabbit skin, Lin Yin smeared the surface of the rabbit skin with grass ash. Then the rabbit skin was turned over, stuffed with licorice, and hung on a crossbar. There are also a few more rabbit skins on the crossbar, which have been drying for a long time. After drying the rabbit skin, continue to hold the knife, and dispose of the rabbit's internal organs on the herringbone shelf, it is very pleasant.
Lin Yin's wife, Lin Shi, kept flipping through the medicinal materials on the shelves. The layers of medicinal herbs on the drying rack kept shaking and rolling, turning over one plate and then taking off the next plate .......
In the corner of the courtyard wall, two adult wolves were sleeping on the ground. From time to time, the wolf's mouth opened wide, stuck out its tongue, and stretched its waist. Both wolves seem to have undergone some kind of metamorphosis, and their bodies, which were originally larger than ordinary wild wolves, are now even larger. Strong muscles, tall body, like a ploughing ox. The Lin family seems to be not afraid of these two wolves at all, it is very natural.
It's a long story, the monk surnamed Zhang, who is a righteous qi sect, drove the goose bird away. Lin Yin went to the pharmacy as always to give people a consultation, and the Wang family was selected as an immortal seedling because Wang Xian'er, and his value suddenly increased a lot. No one looked down on her anymore, and the few idle youths in the town didn't dare to provoke her.
Because of Wang Xian'er's name, Lin Yin also felt that she was fated to her, so she agreed to help Wang in the pharmacy. The medicinal materials that the mountain people have kept for a long time, the monk surnamed Zhang will not choose all of them. Some of the most common ones will be left.
A few of the town's wealthy families will give preference to some and buy deals from the past and larger towns. Lin Yin selected these people and expanded them to his own pharmacy. The Wang family helped to put the medicinal herbs of the same flavor into the corresponding wooden box block.
Changping Town, because of the departure of the monk surnamed Zhang, fell into peace. The Wild Wolf Mountain to the south of the town is not very peaceful.
A dozen wild wolves kept sniffing, not knowing what they were looking for. In the direction of the town, take your time. The chickadees and wild birds along the way, frightened flocks scattered away.
A dozen wild wolves came out of town in a short time. They didn't seem to want to alarm the townspeople, but walked out of the two and continued to sniff on the road to the town until they came to the Lin family, which was close to the outside of the town.
The two wolves, outside the courtyard wall of the Lin family, turned around in place a few times. Raising his hind legs, a bubble of wolf urine was sprinkled on the corner of the Lin family. After doing all this, the two wolves quickly ran towards the wild wolf mountain. After meeting with a dozen wild wolves on the mountain, they hurriedly disappeared into the depths of the forest.
It was night, and the Lin family had a busy day and rested in bed early. On the bed, Lin Yin and Lin slept on one side, and Lin Shuai lay between them. Lin patted Lin Shuai dotingly, and kept muttering in his mouth. In the dead of night, a few insect calls were heard intermittently outside the hospital.
"Toot toot doot ....... ”
"Poof!" I don't know what has fallen. Pierced the silent night.
"Old man, go and see, how I heard in the yard that something had fallen. Check it out!"
"What can you have, go to sleep!"
"Bang!" The sticks that supported the windows fell to the ground. Lin Yin couldn't sleep this time, so he got up and held the lamp. Dim lights illuminate the entire bedroom.
"Oops!"
Lin Yin was so frightened that he sat down on the ground and almost knocked over the light on the table.
"What are you doing, oops!"
Old woman Lin turned around with a mutter, and was also frightened and fell to the side of the bed.
It turned out that a wild wolf was lying outside the window. There was also a pheasant in his mouth, which was the wild wolf that took Lin Yin to the wolf's den.
The wild wolf searched into the window, and Lin Yin and his wife were frightened, and they didn't dare to mess around. I just watched as the wolf dropped the pheasant and jumped on the bed. Sticking out his tongue deeply, he licked Lin Shuai, who was sleeping on the bed. After licking Lin Shuai, the wild wolf didn't stop, he jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night.
Seeing the wild wolf go away, Lin Yin recovered from his fright. Picking up the pheasant on the ground, he looked out the dark window.
"Hehe, I can't imagine that animals are sometimes more affectionate than humans. I've lived most of my life, old man, and it's the first time I've encountered such a thing. Haha...... old man, I'm lucky. ”
"Oops, I was scared to death just now. Old man, you're still talking cool here. Not to mention, this wild wolf is really humane, and he really treats our wolf cub as his own child. It's really strange to go to relatives with pheasants in their mouths. I was so scared just now that I felt a puff in my heart!"
The old woman said as she propped up the edge of the bed with one hand and stroked her chest with the other.
"Our Lin family, we will have great luck in the future, you just look at the old woman, go to sleep. Hahaha"
"Leng Li Rang beats...... The eldest girl is married, hehe, brother, I ....... Lin Yin hummed a little song while cleaning up the pheasant and putting it on the table, and went back to bed.
In this way, the wild wolf came to visit Lin Shuai at the Lin family every once in a while. Pheasants, hares, or whatever, and the Lin family has mored. The Lin family's life is like the New Year, and they often open meat.
Lin Yin went to the Wild Wolf Mountain to collect medicine, and sometimes the male wolf followed Lin Yin. With the male wolf following, Lin Yin's courage also increased.
What mountain ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, poisonous snake and snake gallbladder, I don't know how many of these treasured medicines. Lin Yin also knew that these treasure medicines were also of great benefit to the wild wolves. A large part of it was lost to the male wolf.
In this way, both the male wolf and the female wolf are familiar with the Lin family. These two wolves, whose bodies were originally larger than ordinary wolves, were raised by Lin Yin's medicinal herbs, and they became stronger and stronger day by day. I've been cultivated to be as strong as a ploughing ox.
It's been another few years of cold and summer, and Lin Shuai is five years old. Get rid of a naughty child.
"Wolf cub, what are you going to do? Have you learned all the medicinal herbs today? You naughty child, dancing with a firewood knife again. ”
"Daddy, I've learned it a long time ago. Those medicinal herbs of yours, when I close my eyes and smell them, I know what the names are. I don't want to learn medicinal herbs anymore, I want to play with firewood knives. ”
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Xiao Lin Shuai held Old Man Lin's firewood knife and danced in the courtyard non-stop. In front of a tree stump, they kept chopping indiscriminately.
"Uh......h Woo....... ”
A few wolf howls were heard.
"Haha, Daddy Wolf and Mother Wolf have come to see me. Daddy, I'm going to play with Daddy Wolf. Lin Shuai threw down the firewood knife and ran out.
The wild wolf, like a ploughing cow, ran to the courtyard gate of the Lin family. Seeing Lin Shuai running, he dropped a pheasant and lay on the ground. Wait for Lin Shuai to come over and ride on its back.
"Daddy Wolf, you see that I am riding so steadily, when can you take me to the mountains to play." I want to see the house of Daddy Wolf and Mom Wolf, and I want to play with some of my wolf brothers. ”
"Daddy said, in a few moments, I will go to cultivate immortals with the immortal chief. I'm afraid I won't see you for a long time, and I want to know the home of the wolf father and the wolf mother. When I come back, I will go to you. ”
Lin Shuai grabbed the mane on the wolf's neck with both hands, and kept talking in his mouth.
"Woo woo ....... ”
The wild wolf seemed to understand Lin Shuai's words, lowered his head, and barked.
"Haha....... Daddy Wolf agreed, Daddy Wolf agreed. ”
"Daddy, I want to go to the mountains with Daddy Wolf, and I'll be back in a while. Lin Shuai shouted excitedly at Lin Yin, and rode the wolf towards the mountain.
"Wow what a beautiful place, look so far away, it turns out that Daddy Wolf's home is here. ”
"Uh......h Woo...... Woo. The wild wolf carried Lin Shuai on his back and raised his head on a raised rock, and Lin Shuai smiled excitedly on the wolf's back.
The wolf den was very spacious, Lin Shuai was playing with a few wolf brothers on a pile of grass, and at this time, the wild wolf didn't know where to take out a cloth bag in the mess, and the wild wolf came directly to Lin Shuai with it in his mouth.
"Daddy Wolf, what is this? Lin Shuai looked at the cloth bag with a curious expression.
The wild wolf scratched his front legs again and again, signaling Lin Shuai to open the ......
Lin Shuai squatted down curiously, and now Lin Shuai saw clearly, this was a baby swaddling. Lin Shuai seemed to have thought of something, and quickly spread the swaddling clothes. In the swaddling clothes was a piece of white juan and a blood-colored dragon-shaped jade.
Lin Shuai picked up the blood jade with one hand, and then slowly opened Bai Juan, and the blood stains on Bai Juan suddenly made Lin Shuai's eyes moist.
"Don't avenge me...... son. ”
