Mingyue followed the wolf pack to the place where the wolf cub disappeared. It was an open grassland with a sparse forest on the edge of the grassland.
The mother wolf paced back and forth in front of a patch of flattened grass, indicating that this was where the cub had disappeared.
Mingyue and Redbird looked around, while Mianbao and the big yellow dog were also helping to collect clues.
Soon, they made a discovery.
Mingyue saw human footprints on the ground, which were intertwined with the wolf cub's paw prints, indicating that the wolf cub may have had contact with humans before disappearing.
She thought to herself that it was no wonder the wolves suspected that the disappearance of the wolf cubs was related to humans.
Mingyue carefully observed the depth and direction of the footprints on the ground, trying to determine the route of human movement.
The footprints were rather messy in this area. They probably stayed there for a while, and then headed out of the mountain.
Redbird crouched down and gently touched the ground with his hand, looking for possible bloodstains or other traces.
Soon, she found a half-eaten steamed bun in the grass. The gnawing marks on it did not look like those left by humans, but rather like those of a wolf cub's gums.
Seeing Hong Que's skilled look, Ming Yue was a little curious, "You seem to be very skilled at searching."
Because Mingyue saved her, Hongque didn't hide it. "I want to be a gourmet adventurer and collect ingredients everywhere, so I learned a lot about searching in the wild. Dahuang is my animal partner. When I really become an adventurer, I will take it to be bound."
After saying that, she looked at the orange cat next to Mingyue and said, "Sister, is this orange cat your animal companion?"
Mingyue nodded, bread is indeed her animal companion now.
In the food plane, most people who choose to be food adventurers will choose an animal companion, so that they can travel together and have more helpers when obtaining ingredients.
Some ingredients grow in places that are difficult for humans to access, but animals can easily obtain them.
This led to the idea that monkeys picked tea, elephants selected bananas, sparrows selected fruits, and so on.
This also leads to many people who plan to become adventurers developing their own animal companions in advance.
The wolf pack is worried that the cubs will be taken away by someone with ulterior motives and tamed into tools.
Although there are laws prohibiting the capture of wild animal cubs, there are always some people who try to take shortcuts.
At this time, Bread started meowing and stood still in one place.
Mingyue came to where Bread was standing and found that the soil here was relatively loose.
Digging up the soil, underneath was the ashes of burned wood.
Someone must have been making a fire and cooking here, and then restored the surroundings to their original state.
Xiaoman also woke up at this time. The small system helped scan the surroundings and reported its findings. "Yueyue, look a little to the right. There are some mud lumps on the ground. Those don't belong to the forest either."
Mingyue looked in the direction Xiaoman pointed. There were indeed some yellow mud blocks scattered there. If it weren't for Xiaoman's reminder, it would have been easy to miss them. After all, mud blocks are very common in the mountains.
Seeing Mingyue squatting on the ground and picking up some mud, Hongque also came over, picked up a piece, squeezed it, and analyzed it, "What is this? A dried yellow mud block?"
Redbird sniffed the mud on his hand again. "There's still a hint of lotus leaf fragrance on it. Has anyone made beggar's chicken here?"
When talking about beggar's chicken, Mingyue and Hongque looked at each other, and they both thought of something.
When the she-wolf saw Mingyue and Hongque's reactions, she knew that they had discovered the clue, and immediately came over anxiously.
Mingyue rubbed the wolf's head and said, "Don't worry, I'll go and bring the cub back right away."
Redbird stood up and whispered a few words to Mingyue.
Because the wolves were still unwilling to let her leave, Red Sparrow stayed behind while Mingyue went out of the mountains to look for the wolf cubs.
Redbird told her that there was a family in the suburbs who had excellent skills in cooking chicken. They had a snack bar in the city, and their children helped in the bar, so the couple came to the suburbs to raise chickens to supply their own family.
Arriving at the location Redbird mentioned, she stood outside and observed quietly, only to discover a scene that made her laugh and cry.
The wolf cub was lying in a furry nest, sleeping soundly with a horned beast bone as his pillow.
Behind it was a brand new doghouse that looked newly built.
There are also water bowls and rice bowls next to them.
Mingyue also saw that the little wolf cub had a bulging belly. He must have had a full meal before falling asleep soundly.
This doesn't look like a misfortune at all.
And this wolf cub's appearance is a little different.
This wolf has a square head and a dull look in its eyes. Its behavior is more like that of a cute puppy.
Although Mingyue felt the scent of a wolf on it, she was very suspicious that she had found the wrong cub.
If Bread hadn't said the smell matched, Mingyue wouldn't have believed that this wolf cub was the cub of the tall and strong silver wolf.
Since we didn't find the wrong person, we could only wake up this family.
Mingyue came to the door and knocked.
Because it was late at night, she knocked three times before someone answered.
But everyone in the house was awake, and the wolf cub was still sleeping soundly. How unguarded was he!
"Who is it? So late at night?"
A man came out of the house.
"Excuse me for disturbing you. I'm here for the puppy in your yard. Is it convenient for me to talk?"
Hearing it was a puppy, the other party opened the door and let Mingyue in.
Several people in the room also got up, put on their coats and came out.
After Mingyue came in, she didn't keep the suspense and explained directly and simply what happened in the mountains. She told the family that the puppy in the yard was a wolf cub.
