Chapter 17: Saving the Wolf King
Aunt Hua also flew a long way, but didn't see anyone riding a horse. Instead, she found a group of wolves lying in the woods, staring at the place where the people from Huo's village were resting.
It was terrified and quickly flew back to tell Du Wanwan, who was sleeping with her eyes closed: "My benefactor! It's bad, there are wolves over there."
"Wolf?" Du Wanwan stood up and instantly woke up. "Where is it? Take me to see it."
Aunt Hua flew forward, Du Wanwan got up quietly and ran quickly after it.
The night watchman in Huojia Village saw it but did not stop her. After all, Du Wanwan was not from the village and it was her freedom to go wherever she wanted.
If I interfere too much, I’m afraid people will be unhappy.
The wolf pack was not far from the people of Huojia Village. They were in the jungle about five or six hundred meters ahead. Looking at the dense green eyes, Du Wanwan estimated that the wolf pack was very large, with at least more than three hundred of them.
Aunt Hua was flying in the air, shouting to her, "Benefactor! The Wolf King is ahead."
"Okay! Take me there!"
Du Wanwan followed Aunt Hua through the jungle and soon arrived not far from the Wolf King.
The wolf king stood on a stone, looking at Du Wanwan not far in front of him, then looked at Aunt Hua, and asked, "Are you a human messenger?"
Aunt Hua stood on a tree and answered loudly: "This is my benefactor."
It is a bird, and wolves pose no threat to it, and it is not very polite to the wolf king.
He spoke very loudly and his tone was not very nice.
The wolf king's left hind leg was cut off. If it hadn't been for the skin and flesh, the leg would have been gone long ago. Judging from the injury, it had been several days.
"Benefactor? You are making friends with humans?" The wolf king bared his white teeth and growled, "Humans are all bad guys. If it weren't for them, my leg wouldn't be injured at all."
Aunt Hua didn't know how to answer the wolf king's words, so she flew to Du Wanwan's shoulder and raised her wings: "My benefactor, she saved me. My wings were bitten by a hateful snake, and it was the benefactor who healed me and gave me food and drink."
The wolf king looked at Du Wanwan with contempt: "Old crow! You are lying, I don't believe you. Humans are all bad guys. They can heal injuries but won't heal us animals."
Du Wanwan immediately said: "I can, I will heal you, please believe me, I can heal your injury."
"Oh?" The wolf king was surprised, "Can you understand what I say?"
"Yes." Du Wanwan was not modest. "I can understand all the beasts' words. How did you get injured?"
Looking back at his legs, the wolf king was depressed: "I was chased by a group of crazy humans and chopped by their knives."
"Can you tell me what they look like?"
Du Wanwan really wanted to know who had injured the Wolf King, was it Qiezi or the hunter from Wei.
Logically, everyone is fleeing famine, so as long as the wolves don't attack them, even if there are hunters in the village, they will not confront them.
The wolf king sat down and licked the wound on his hind leg: "I have never seen those people before. My people and I have always lived in the mountains and rarely come out.
That day, many people came to our mountain, riding tall horses, holding scimitars, carrying bows and arrows, and with leather bags hanging around their waists. They started to hunt us when they saw us, hacking us with knives and shooting us with arrows.
After listening to the wolf king's words, Du Wanwan got the general idea. The wolf king was worthy of being the wolf king, and his expression was complete. Holding a scimitar, carrying a bow and arrow, and hanging a leather bag around the waist, it must be the Zizi Army.
They actually went deep into the mountains? It seems they will have to get out sooner or later.
"The ones chasing you are bad guys. We are also running away from them." Du Wanwan took a step closer to the wolf king. "I will heal your wounds, but the condition is that you and your people cannot attack the humans fleeing down the mountain."
The wolf king looked at her and bargained: "Heal all our wounded."
Du Wanwan nodded: "Deal."
The wolf king howled a few times at the sky, and in an instant, a lot of injured wolves rustled around Du Wanwan.
Some had broken legs, some had broken tails, some had part of their heads chopped off, and some had their stomachs cut in half.
Du Wanwan stood still, she was discussing with Yaya what medicines and equipment were needed. Yaya was busy in the space, and the cart was full layer by layer.
The wheels spun around happily, following Yaya's instructions.
A thought flashed through his mind, and a cart appeared out of thin air. The wolf king narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that the human in front of him was unusual.
"Let your people line up and come for healing."
As soon as Du Wanwan finished speaking, the wolf king howled twice, and the injured wolves automatically lined up to wait for treatment.
Aunt Hua supervised from the side and did not allow the wolves to do anything wrong.
Du Wanwan treated the wolf's wounds with the same attitude as treating people. She was used to field operations with her comrades who had been on missions in her previous life. She did not find it difficult to treat the wolf.
The wolf king was patrolling on the side dragging his injured leg. Seeing Du Wanwan treating his people skillfully, meticulously and seriously, the disdain and indifference in the wolf's eyes turned into respect and enthusiasm.
This human being is different from those humans who hold scimitars, carry bows and arrows, and wear leather bags around their waists. She is truly saving her people.
Those who needed medicine were given medicine, those who needed injections were given injections, and those who needed splints were splinted. If there were no splints, they would use knives to cut down trees nearby.
Although the rescued wolves were howling in pain, they also knew that the human was helping them.
All the injured wolves gave Du Wanwan friendly looks, with no ferocity in their eyes, only friendliness. The wolf king watched from the side and memorized Du Wanwan's face deeply in his mind.
This human is not an enemy of the Black Wolf Clan, but a friend and a benefactor. I accidentally saw Aunt Hua chirping and directing the injured wolf, and I felt that what the old crow said was right.
She is indeed their benefactor.
After treating all the injured wolves, it was finally the wolf king's turn. He took the initiative to lie down in front of Du Wanwan and stretched out his left hind leg.
Describing to her how the wound came about: "The human was riding on a horse, and I wanted to jump up and bite off his neck, but his horse kicked me, causing me to lose my position and suffer a cut on my left hind leg."
"Why did those people attack you?" Du Wanwan cleaned the sand and sawdust from the wound on the wolf king's hind leg. "Have you ever encountered them before?"
The wolf king shook his head: "No, never. We black wolves rarely appear in human sight. We have food and water in the mountains. We will not offend humans for no reason.
Those people holding scimitars, carrying bows and arrows, and wearing leather bags on their waists are very bad and cruel. They slaughter my people, peel their skins, and eat their meat. They are very cruel, more cruel than us black wolves. "
Du Wanwan sighed: "Don't even mention you Black Wolfs. Even we were driven homeless by those people."
The wolf king's eyes narrowed again: "Who are they? Why are they chasing you away?"
