The next morning, just after dawn, Yun Huaying was the first to get up. After quickly washing up, she left a note on the table and then walked into the mountains in the morning dew.
He ran all the way to the place where he first met the gray wolf, and then brought the mother and son out of the space.
The gray wolf mother and cub were very sensitive to changes in the environment. As soon as they landed on the unfamiliar soil, they almost cried out at the same time. Yun Huaying quickly comforted them: "Don't cry, don't cry."
Both mother and son looked around in confusion. The little wolf was unfamiliar with the place, but the gray wolf was familiar with it and quickly realized that this was the forest where it had been before, but it couldn't figure out how it came here again.
Yun Huaying pointed to the depths of the forest and said to it, "You should take the little wolf cub to live in the mountains and teach it the survival skills of the wolf clan."
No matter how intelligent the gray wolf was, it couldn't understand her words, but it vaguely guessed that she didn't want them anymore, so it grabbed her trouser legs with its claws, expressing its unwillingness to leave.
During this time of getting along with the mother and cub, Yun Huaying actually developed some affection for them and was reluctant to let them leave. However, if they stayed in the space any longer, the wolf nature of the cubs would be wiped out, and it would be difficult for them to adapt to the dangers of nature when they returned to the mountains in the future.
"Hey, my intentions are good, but you guys don't understand."
Yun Huaying sighed and was about to cruelly throw them here when the innate magic vine "swooshed" back to her wrist and conveyed some information to her with the power of the contract.
"Magic Vine, can you communicate with Gray Wolf?"
Yun Huaying was slightly surprised, revealing a rather horrified expression. "Although you are a spirit creature, you are also a plant, and the gray wolf is an animal. Do plants and animals have a special common language?"
The magic vine couldn't answer her, but its meaning was very clear: I am not an ordinary plant, I have a way to make it understand what you mean.
"Okay, then you communicate with the gray wolf. Tell it my intention. I'm not abandoning them. I want it to take the cub to live in the mountains and forests and teach it to hunt and deal with danger as soon as possible. I will come to visit them often and take them to live in the space in the future."
No one knew how the innate magic vine communicated with the gray wolf. Yun Huaying saw that the expressions of the gray wolf and its cub, mother and son, kept changing. They were a little confused at first, but later their fierce eyes softened.
Perhaps he was persuaded, the gray wolf loosened her trouser legs with its claws, rubbed her legs with its head, and howled into the forest.
Yun Huaying didn't understand what it meant, but now she had a translator to help her. "You want me to go with you to the mountains and visit your nest?"
No wolf answered her.
The gray wolf led the way in front, and the little wolf cubs followed happily with their limbs spread out. Yun Huaying also wanted to see the wolf's den, so she followed closely.
After walking for nearly three or four miles, they came to the entrance of an empty and damp cave. From afar, they saw a pile of rotten game residue. Yun Huaying knew that this was the den of the gray wolf mother and cub. Perhaps the wolf cub was born here.
Just as she guessed, this was the gray wolf's den. As soon as it arrived at the familiar den, it immediately lay down.
Yun Huaying looked around the cave. The location was not too hidden, but the area was quite large. Apart from bats building their nests here, there were no other animals.
"Okay, I know you live here, and I'll come visit you often in the future."
Yun Huaying touched the wolf heads of the mother and son, brought out all the eggs and fruits they liked to eat, put them in a corner, pointed at them and said to them: "These are for you to eat, I will bring you more next time."
There was an innate magic vine relaying her words. The little wolf cub knew she was leaving, and his brown eyes were full of reluctance.
The wolf is a smart animal. Although it cannot speak human language, it knows that its life was saved by her and it is reluctant to be separated from her.
"Alright, follow your mother to the mountains to practice hunting and learn more about wolf skills. When you grow up to be as strong and powerful as your mother and can handle the dangers of the mountains and forests, I will come and take you to live in the space."
No matter how reluctant she was, Yun Huaying had to cruelly leave them here.
She believed she wasn't sentimental or overly affectionate, but today, facing the two wolves, her usually cold-hearted self felt a different kind of emotion. Before leaving, she repeatedly assured them, "I'll come visit you every week, and I'll definitely bring you into the space to live in the future."
When she was about to leave, the gray wolf suddenly came over and grabbed her trouser leg, pointing its paw in a certain direction, motioning her to follow it.
"Where are you going again?"
Yun Huaying was still trying to hurry down the mountain, but seeing this, she had no choice but to follow it.
Fortunately, they didn't walk far before the gray wolf stopped in front of them and kept digging in the ground with its two front paws.
When Yun Huaying saw the medicinal herbs it dug out, she was surprised: "Wild Gastrodia elata!"
Seeing that she liked it very much, the gray wolf brought the dug herbs to her and turned around to continue digging.
"Grey Wolf, I'm coming, I'm coming."
Yun Huaying picked up the Gastrodia elata and threw it into the space, then happily rushed over to join the battle herself.
She didn't know how Gray Wolf knew about Gastrodia elata. She didn't have any Gastrodia elata planted in her space. Seeing a small patch here, she rubbed Gray Wolf's head with joy: "Gray Wolf, I didn't expect you knew about Gastrodia elata. You are a genius among wolves."
Gray Wolf: “…”
In fact, it didn't know Gastrodia elata either. She was reading a book in the space before, and the book happened to be a picture-based introduction. When she was reading, the gray wolf was lying next to her to rest, and happened to see the picture of Gastrodia elata. It had seen this near the wolf den, so it brought her here today.
The soil in this area is rich in humus, which is just the right environment for the growth of wild Gastrodia elata. Yun Huaying searched the area thoroughly, dug up more than 20 wild Gastrodia elata, and transplanted them all into the space.
"Okay, I have to go back to work. I'll come see you guys in a few days."
When Yun Huaying left, she touched the mother and child tenderly and lovingly, letting the Innate Magic Vine convey her meaning, and then she returned down the mountain along the same route under their reluctant gazes.
During this period of time, she had been undergoing high-intensity forced training by gray wolves in the space every day. Her physical fitness was much stronger than before, and she did not feel tired running in the mountains and forests. She threw some bait into the trap, picked up the stunned game nearby, and ran back home as fast as possible.
Lin Shan was cooking breakfast in the kitchen. Seeing her return covered in dew, she said, "Huaying, why are you up so early? Jiang Yuan and I will find time to go get some game from the mountains."
"I woke up early today and couldn't fall asleep, so I decided to go for a walk in the mountains. It's a good way to get some exercise."
Yun Huaying saw her cooking noodles, picked up the thermos and poured water, and asked, "Jiang Yuan said before that she wanted to make soybean paste to sell on the black market. Did she tell you?"
"She said she bought twenty kilograms of soybeans from Sister Xiaolan yesterday afternoon. She just went to pick them up. She plans to soak them during the day and come back to make them in the evening."
When Jiang Yuan came back with the soybeans, the noodles were already cooked. They were simple noodles with pickled vegetables and eggs, but they tasted quite good. The three of them each had a big bowl, ate it happily, and then took their straw hats and waited to gather for work.
