Chapter 164 Contact with the Wolf Child

Seeing that the wolf child had woken up, Han Shuo turned his head and said with a smile.

"Huh? You're awake."

The wolf boy's eyes were somewhat dazed, but soon he remembered what had happened before he lost consciousness.

Suddenly, the wolf boy scrambled up from the blanket, quickly retreated, creating some distance between himself and Han Shuo and the other three, and then squatted down in the corner with his hands wrapped around his knees.

He then looked at the four people in front of him with a hint of panic.

This action surprised Han Shuo and the others. Clearly, the wolf child was very afraid of humans.

"Oh! We just saved you! How rude of us! What, do you think we'd eat you?"

After the fat man finished speaking, he got up and walked towards the wolf boy, intending to pull the impolite brat back.

Han Shuo reached out and stopped the fat man, saying, "You sit still and don't scare the child."

The fat man had no choice but to sit down on the spot.

Han Shuo turned his gaze back to the wolf child and tried to soothe him gently.

"Um, we mean no harm, you don't need to be afraid."

The wolf child did not respond, but continued to cautiously observe the four of them.

Han Shuo was very patient and continued to ask.

"Child, do you have a name? Would you mind telling us?"

The wolf boy remained silent.

At this moment, Xiao Zhao chimed in from the side.

"Brother Han, does this wolf child not understand human language?"

"Hmm? That's quite possible."

Han Shuo thought for a moment and then asked in a different way.

"Child, do you remember when we saved you this afternoon?"

After he finished speaking, the wolf boy finally responded and nodded gently.

"Damn it, you can understand me? If you can understand me, then say something!" The fat man, who was rather impatient, complained and shouted.

His voice was loud, and the wolf boy panicked again, his body trembling slightly.

Han Shuo glared at the fat man and reprimanded him.

"You! Shut up!"

The fat man squinted, pouted, and stopped talking nonsense.

"Shurou, go and get some food. I bet this child is starving."

"good."

Soon, Li Shurou brought the food out of the room. Han Shuo casually opened a few cans of food and a bottle of mineral water, then got up and slowly walked over.

As they walked, he said, "Don't be nervous, I won't hurt you. Here's some food, have something to eat first."

Han Shuo stopped about two meters away from the wolf boy, placed the canned food and water on the ground, and then retreated.

At this moment, none of the four spoke, for fear of frightening the child again.

The wolf boy hesitated at first, glancing at Han Shuo and then at the food on the ground.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally crawled cautiously toward the food, glancing warily at the four people in front of him as he crawled.

Seeing that the four people really meant no harm, the wolf boy grabbed the canned food and water and put them in his arms. Then he quickly retreated to the corner and began to eat it in big mouthfuls.

...

Han Shuo felt a little relieved when he saw the wolf boy start eating.

After all, this is a good start.

“This child should be able to understand what we are saying, but it seems like he hasn’t spoken in a long time, so he can only respond to us with gestures,” Han Shuo said.

"Yes, Brother Han makes sense," Xiao Zhao agreed wholeheartedly.

"Sigh, it's really heartbreaking to see," Li Shurou said regretfully, shaking her head.

"Alright, now that this little brat has eaten our food, his attitude should change later."

The fat man was right; the wolf boy soon devoured all the food.

Han Shuo noticed that after eating, the wolf boy seemed less afraid of them. Although he was still crouching in the corner, his body was no longer trembling.

Indeed, to win over a wolf child, you must first win over his stomach...

At that moment, the wolf child suddenly uttered a few words incoherently.

"Thank you... thank you..."

Although his voice was very soft and his pronunciation wasn't perfect, Han Shuo and the other three could still hear it. His voice gave off a very innocent and pure feeling.

"Haha, the little brat is thanking us." The fat man laughed.

Han Shuo tentatively walked over again and extended his right hand.

"Don't worry, come and sit with us."

This time, the wolf boy slowly stood up from the corner and carefully raised his arm to grab Han Shuo's big hand.

In this way, Han Shuo successfully brought the wolf child back to their side.

Everyone continued to comfort him, one after another, and the wolf boy gradually tried to accept them.

Through their interaction, he already knew in his heart that these people in front of him really wouldn't hurt him.

However, to Han Shuo's disappointment, the wolf boy didn't say another word after saying thank you.

However, there's nothing that can be done about it. After all, the wolf child hasn't been in contact with humans for a long time, and it will take a long time before he can speak like a normal person.

Before they knew it, two hours had passed, and the night was deep. All four of them were extremely interested in the little guy in front of them.

After sensing that the wolf boy had completely lowered his guard, Han Shuo spoke.

"Child, let this older sister wipe your body."

The wolf boy was still too dirty; even now, the four of them couldn't see his face clearly.

The wolf boy turned to look at Li Shurou, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slightly.

Li Shurou quickly took out a towel, dampened it with water, and carefully wiped him down.

The wolf child did not resist at all, but just sat obediently in place.

It took Li Shurou a lot of effort to finish wiping, and she changed countless towels in the process.

Even so, it only wiped the filth off the wolf child's body.

He was covered in so much mud that he needed to wait until he returned to the underground research institute to get a proper scrubbing.

Finally, Li Shurou took out a pair of scissors and trimmed the wolf boy's messy hair and beard.

After everything was done, the wolf child appeared before the four of them with a completely new appearance.

He is only a little over 1.6 meters tall and weighs about 80 kilograms, making him look very thin overall.

This is certainly due to some malnutrition.

However, the wolf child had a very handsome face, and even more so, a pair of pure and innocent big eyes.

Han Shuo found it hard to imagine how such a handsome child could have been so ruthlessly abandoned by his parents.

These are questions that can only be asked gradually after the wolf child can speak normally.

Perhaps the wolf child was too tired, because he soon fell asleep again.

Han Shuo covered him with a blanket, then thought for a moment and spoke.

"The four of us will still take turns keeping watch tonight, as for the child..."

"Take it with you, Brother Han."

"Take it with you, take it with you, I'm worried I'll be bored on the road."

"Han Shuo, let him come with us for now."

The three agreed.

Since the wolf child is very popular, Han Shuo decided to take care of the child for the time being.

"Okay, take it with you for now."
