Chapter 5: The Wolf Mother

One day, Mu Yang came to look for the wolf cub again after school and saw the wolf cub lying on the grinding plate and sleeping soundly. "Alas, boy, I'm too lazy to go to class today, I'm getting my books wet with your saliva."

"It's boring, the teacher keeps repeating these things in class, and I'm bored" The wolf boy turned over from the grinding plate and sat up and stretched, and said, "You can go to the mountains with me today, it's fun." ”

"Okay, okay" Mu Yang jumped up happily when he heard this. Although she grew up in a village on the edge of the mountain, she had never been to the mountain. The old man always said that there were wild beasts and demons in the mountains, and children could not go there. The mountain had always felt terrifying and mysterious to her.

"Well, I'll go home for dinner first, and then I tell my mother to go to the children's house to play, but I can't let them know that I'm going to play in the mountains. Let's meet here. ”

"Well, okay," the wolf boy nodded, "I'll be here for you then." ”

Just after noon, the sun was high. The wolf boy and Mu Yang were already walking on the path into the mountain.

It was late spring, all the way up the mountain flowers were splendid, birds sang and flowers were fragrant, a good scene, I saw Muyang's heart blooming, jumping along the way, picking wild flowers for a while, fluttering butterflies for a while, so unhappy.

When he came to a big straight tree, the wolf stopped and said, "There is a nest of eggs on it, and I will take them down for you." ”

Mu Yang looked up, it was so big that he couldn't see the top of the towering tree, let alone see the bird's nest. "Really, how do you know there's a bird's nest on it?"

Before the words fell, the wolf cub had already "poofed" up the tree barefoot, and in an instant it was about ten feet above the ground, and disappeared into the dense branches and leaves. Mu Yang's mouth opened wide in surprise.

After a while, the wolf cub came down from the tree and handed the two bird eggs he was holding to Mu Yang, "I only took two, I took them all, and the mother bird will be angry when she comes back."

Mu Yang took the egg and saw that it was still hot, the size of an egg. I thought: I didn't expect this kid to be so good, and he was quite caring.

The two of them went deeper and deeper in the mountains and forests, and walked into a very dense jungle.

"There are so many trees here," Mu Yang ran around in the woods, "It's like a maze, it's so fun"

"Let's play hide and seek" Mu Yang hid behind a tree and shouted to the wolf cub, "You come to me!"

The wolf boy buried his head, covered his eyes with his hands, and said, "Okay, you hide quickly, I'll come to you in dozens of times." ”

But no matter how Muyang hides, the wolf cub can find her immediately. Mu Yang thought to himself that this kid is sharp-eyed, it's not okay to hide around here, next time I have to run away and hide.

"It's going to start again," the wolf boy shouted as he began to count, "One, two, three,....."

Hearing Mu Yang's footsteps go away, the wolf boy raised his head and thought, this time see how far you can hide! Then, he took a piece of grass in his mouth, turned over and lay on the grass, and closed his eyes comfortably.

Suddenly, his eyes widened, he jumped up from the ground, and secretly shouted, "Not good!" and ran in the direction of Mu Yang.

At this time, on a small tree with a thick bowl mouth, less than a few feet above the ground, Mu Yang was climbing a branch with both hands, and while climbing up with all his might, crying for help! Three wolves below were jumping up under the tree and trying to bite her. There was also a large pack of wolves coming up from behind.

said that it was late, but it was fast, the wolf cub quickly rushed up, kicked away the two wolves with his feet, stepped forward to support Muyang's feet with his hands, and desperately lifted them up.

At this time, the wolves had already surrounded them, and seven or eight wolves pounced on the wolf cub, and the wolf cub lifted Mu Yang up with force, and kicked the attacking wolves with his feet.

Two fists are hard to beat four hands, let alone a pack of wolves. A wolf bit the wolf's calf hard.

.....Suddenly, the wounded wolf cub let out a long, inhuman howl, which reverberated through the forest. For a moment, the wolves were stunned, at a loss.

At this time, not far behind the wolves, there was also a wolf howl, the voice was deep and old, as if responding to the howl of the wolf cub just now. The wolves retreated, spreading out in both directions, making way in the middle. In the distance, an old wolf, looking very old and weak, came slowly, she stopped, looked at the wolf cub standing under the tree, and slowly walked towards him.

The old wolf came to the wolf cub and lay himself on the ground, as if he was too tired to stand up anymore. The wolf cub tried to reach out and touched the top of the old wolf's head, and the old wolf also raised his head, stretched his head to the wolf cub and sniffed, then slowly buried his head, closed his eyes, and two teardrops rolled down the grass under him.

After a while, a large gray wolf walked up to the old wolf, looked down and sniffed, then raised his head and howled, and turned back and ran into the woods, and the wolves followed him and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The wolf cub approached the old wolf and touched it, and found that the old wolf was dead. Mu Yang came down from the tree, his mouth still closed in surprise. "You, you, how can you howl?"

"When I was a child, when I couldn't speak, I would howl wolves, so my parents called me wolf. The wolf boy tore a strip of cloth from his body and wrapped the wound on his leg.

"Is she dead? Did she save us?" asked Mu Yang as he looked at the old wolf lying on the ground while helping him with his leg injury.

The wolf boy nodded and said, "I feel as if she knows me, and when I see her, I feel very kind, and I am not afraid at all." It's weird. ”

"Then let's bury her, she's our savior. ”

The two dug a pit with a tree branch on the spot and buried the old wolf. After the wolf cub planted a branch in the old wolf's grave, the two bowed to the wolf's grave a few times, and then got up and walked down the mountain.
