Zhong Wanwan was also quite devastated at this moment. In this freezing weather, she had walked around like an idiot for an hour and hadn't found a single clue!
Let's say a tiger and a bear are fighting; you should at least make a bigger fuss.
Didn't the tiger roar twice? Where did it roar to? How come she didn't hear anything?
The difference between people is so great. When Bai Yueyao went up the mountain, the tiger roared, and she had to hear it before she died.
Does she think the tiger just dies quietly? Isn't that bullying?!
No, she had to find the place where the tiger and the bear were fighting. She refused to believe she was missing anything!
Zhong Wanwan remained silent, continuing to circle the wooden house.
Qiu Zean was at his wit's end. If he kept wandering around like this, he didn't know if he would be able to get back to the camp in time for the day!
Qiu Zean stopped Zhong Wanwan and said:
"Master Zhong, how about we call it a day? You've been circling the wooden house for an hour, and we haven't found anything!"
Zhong Wanwan transforms into a screaming chicken:
"What did you say? We've been circling the cabin the whole time? Are you serious?"
Qiu Zean's eardrums hurt from her yelling, and he rubbed his ears, saying:
"It's around the wooden house, although it's quite a roundabout route!"
Zhong Wanwan now realized where the problem lay: Bai Yueyao had gotten lost and was wandering aimlessly, heading deeper into the mountains.
And here she is, just spinning around and playing!
Zhong Wanwan gritted her teeth; she was so disappointing!
Thinking about the tiger and the black bear family that they hadn't found, Zhong Wanwan really didn't want to give up.
If she hadn't found them this time, who knows which wild animal would have gotten the tiger and the bear family!
With a determined look in her eyes, Zhong Wanwan searched the vicinity again before heading straight for the tallest tree, where she swiftly climbed up.
Qiu Zean was increasingly confused. Why was he climbing a tree instead of spinning around?
Zhong Wanwan climbed up the tree and looked around.
You know what, you really have to admit, this really shows how high you can stand and how far you can see. She saw a sheltered spot on a mountain in the distance, with many dark, earthen caves there.
The entrance to the hole wasn't small; it definitely wasn't a rabbit's hole, but rather looked like a wolf's.
She wondered if the wolf pack had hidden any meat for the winter. Given the jackal's command, they should have hidden some nearby. Zhong Wanwan was overjoyed.
Although we didn't find the tiger and bear family, taking away the wolf pack's winter supplies was still a great gain!
Zhong Wanwan exclaimed in surprise:
"Company Commander Qiu, there are several burrows ahead. Judging by their size, they should belong to that pack of wolves. Let's go check them out!"
"This wolf pack knows to stockpile meat around the red deer herd; I think they must have prepared a lot of meat for the winter."
Qiu Zean then realized what Zhong Wanwan was looking for and immediately thought that Zhong Wanwan was really too smart!
They were all focused on getting the meat down the mountain as quickly as possible, never considering that the wolf pack must have some "stored food".
If they hadn't found it, who knows if any other person or animal would have discovered it, and all that stored grain might have gone bad by now!
Qiu Zean agreed:
"We can't bring back much by ourselves, let's go to the cabin and call for help, everyone come together!"
The two quickly returned to the cabin and explained the situation, which everyone agreed with.
The group quickly went to where Zhong Wanwan had seen the wolf den. There were more than a dozen large and small earthen holes, and several large snowdrifts nearby, neatly blocking the wolf den.
Qiu Zean and the young soldiers were responsible for entering the cave to inspect, while Zhong Wanwan and a few others were responsible for inspecting the snowdrifts.
And you know what? There was really nothing in the wolf den except for a dozen or so wolf cubs.
The wolf pack was cleared out, but there was no need to exterminate the wolf cubs. Qiu Zean did not kill the wolf cubs and went straight out of the wolf den.
There were indeed quite a few prey buried in the snowdrifts!
Zhong Wanwan and the others were quite happy and took out all the prey from the snowdrift.
Watching the wolves hunt down the rabbit, Zhong Wanwan thought for a moment and discussed it with Director Wei and Qiu Ze'an:
"Uncle Wei, Company Commander Qiu, I want to leave these rabbits for the wolf cubs. If we leave nothing, in this freezing weather, these dozen or so wolf cubs won't know how to hunt and will starve to death."
She wasn't being a saint; she simply believed that children are innocent, and so are young wolves.
Moreover, the mountains can't do without these wolf cubs, otherwise, given the capabilities of wild rabbits, they would be rampant next year!
Qiu Ze'an and Director Wei had no objection to this matter. Qiu Ze'an nodded and said:
"You found this, so your farm has the final say."
Director Wei nodded in agreement:
"We should leave some meat for the wolf cubs. Even if they don't attack humans, wild rabbits in the mountains also have natural enemies. We can't let all the wolves really go extinct!"
