Chapter 6: Chasing Wolves

After nearly 30 years of domination of the Dafeng Empire, it has shown a declining scene, the counterinsurgency war in the north has been fought for more than ten years, and the king of Zhenxi in the west has also raised the flag to rebel for many years. In order to quell the rebellion, the imperial court had to levy and extort tyranny, increase taxes, and forcibly levy military service, which caused the common people to live in poverty. Fortunately, Lao Zhang's family lives at the foot of the mountain outside the village, cultivates the land by themselves, farmers and women weave, does not have to pay taxes, and lives a paradise-like life, and is also at ease. It's just that in the past two years, there have been frequent droughts and floods, the harvest has gradually decreased, and life has become poorer and poorer.

The wolf cubs rarely go to the big mill anymore to listen to the lessons, and they always like to run up the hill to find the wolves. He always felt that he had a story with them, and he wanted to find out what was going on. With the gift of his ears, he can always find traces of this group of sons in the dense forests of the mountains. He often followed them or climbed high trees to watch them seek, hunt, and hunt for their prey.

He found that the wolves were more powerful than the hunters, and they divided and cooperated when hunting, chasing and intercepting, very orderly, and the formation changes were also very strange, and few prey could escape from their formation.

He could still make out the different howls of the wolves, and over time he could understand them perfectly. He also began to use wolf howls to convey messages to the wolves. Because he climbs high and sees far, he can often tell the wolves where there is prey, or where the prey is running that way.

With his cooperation, the wolves are even more like fish in water, invincible, catching more and more prey, and often leaving some trophies as a reward for the wolf cubs.

Aunt Qin was very happy and puzzled when she found that her son could always bring some rabbits and pheasants back from the mountains, and asked him, "Wolf boy, can you go into the mountains empty-handed to hunt back the prey?"

"Mother, don't look at me empty-handed, I'm running as fast as a wolf now, I'm smarter than a monkey when I go up a tree, what is it to catch one or two small animals" The wolf cub was very proud.

Relying on the mountain goods caught by the wolves, the family also had a good time, and the wolves were raised more and more strong.

One day, the wolf cub followed the prey of the wolves over several mountains, and went far away, but because it was getting late, he could no longer return home, so the wolf cub slept in the tree for the night.

The next morning, as soon as the wolf cub woke up, he found that the wolves had begun a large-scale hunting activity.

The wolf cub sat in the tree and watched the wolves continue to shrink the encirclement, most of the animals hunted have been captured by the wolves, it seems that this battle has gained a lot.

At this time, he found that the wolves were not in a hurry to share the fruits of the battle, but were still trying their best to round up an animal, which was a roe deer.

He found that this roe deer was very different from the usual stupid roe deer, it ran around the bend in the forest, as if it knew the intentions of the wolves, and could always slip out of the gap in the wolf formation, but it did not seem to be in a hurry to escape, as if it was deliberately playing with the wolves.

After wrestling with the wolves for a while, the roe deer finally broke free from the wolves and ran to the back of the mountain. The wolves were all stunned by the roe deer, and they were at a loss as they scurried around the forest.

At this time, the wolf cub suddenly saw a huge wolf chasing out in the direction where the roe deer was running. It was the gray-headed wolf.

He hurried down from the tree and ran in the direction the wolf had been chasing.

He chased and chased, chased out dozens of miles of mountain roads and still did not see the head wolf, he listened to the direction of the head wolf by sound, followed over a few peaks, and continued to track.

After crossing a hill, the wolf boy rushes into a dense forest, and after tracking through the forest for a while, he realizes that he has lost his target, and to his surprise, he finds himself lost!

This is the first time he has ever encountered this situation, and he has never encountered this situation since he was a child. He stopped, looked at the surrounding woods, and there was no difference, and after he turned around a few times, he found that everywhere was the same, as if the woods were following him.

He stopped, took a stone from the grass, carved a mark on the tree, and with each step he walked, he carved a mark into the tree. After walking like this for a long time, when he was about to mark the tree, he found that the tree already had a mark that he had made. He was taken aback, and when he had calmed down, he went in the other direction, again carving the marks on the tree.

Three hours later, he found that the trunks of the trees around him had been marked in every direction.

At this time, the wolf cub was exhausted, he was cold, hungry and scared, and in a hurry, he fell to the ground and fainted.
