As dawn approached, the yard finally became quiet.
The mother wolf was sleeping soundly with her four cubs in her arms. Zhao Wei spread a layer of new hay in the corner of the woodshed and changed the medicine for the mother wolf.
Yunxiu took out an old cotton-padded jacket and covered the wolf cub with it, and said softly, "When it gets light, I'll make some broth for it, which should help it produce milk."
"Those four little wolf cubs are so cute, they are actually black! Just like our big black one."
Black wolves are quite rare.
Dahei already has some wild wolf bloodline, and this time it has been upgraded to his father. These cubs are all pointed-nosed wolves, and except for the fur color inherited from him, they have nothing else to do with him.
There are also three wild wolves in Zhao Wei's yard, all of them are young male wolves. However, they are not yet of breeding age, so there is no need to worry about them.
But there were other wild wolves coming into the house, and it was like a foreign invasion, with wolves howling all night long.
Not only did the howling of the next-door family make it impossible for them to sleep, but it also alarmed many people in the village.
Just as they finished cleaning up the place, someone knocked on their door.
"Boss, what's going on? Your wolf keeps howling, it's scary, that's why we came to take a look!"
Zhao Wei gave up the wolf den in the corner and let them take a look.
"These are all Dahei's offspring. If anyone in the village wants to raise one, you can come and sign up with me. There are only four in total!"
It would be a pity if so many wild wolf cubs were brought back to the mountains. If they could be raised by humans, they could still protect the village.
This drought didn't last just one or two days, it lasted for three years.
If we don't live well today, there will be more unrest in the future.
It is always safer if there are wolves in the village.
But he already has so many of them, and if he continues to raise more, the burden will be a bit heavy.
The villagers who came all shook their heads, saying that they did not have the ability to raise it.
However, Erlaizi and his friends all liked them very much and said that each of them could adopt one.
If they stayed in the county town, they would not be able to do much, but they still had elderly people at home in the village.
Having the elderly take care of the children can also prevent them from feeling so lonely.
There are six apprentices. Fortunately, neither Huangmao nor Master Lin wants them. The remaining four people all have jobs in the county town, so it won’t be a big burden for them to support them.
As for Huangmao, he didn't want the little wolf cub because he had his eyes on the female wolf.
This female wolf had a good relationship with him, and he would pat her head and feed her.
Even, it was okay for him to touch the little wolf cub.
The rest of the people don't have this treatment.
So, what he wanted was the female wolf. Whether he could succeed or not depended on his luck. After all, the female wolf was very difficult to control and would escape back into the mountains if he was not careful.
Just think about it, this mother wolf is able to lead a wolf pack and is not comparable to ordinary wolves.
At least, the three wolves raised by Zhao Wei were almost as dangerous as the female wolf.
Master Lin was one of the six apprentices. Because he worked in the canteen of an office, where no livestock or poultry were allowed to be raised, it was useless no matter how much he liked it.
Moreover, he no longer has any family members in the village. The old people have all passed away. His wife followed him to the city, and he now has two children. He cannot afford to raise this wild wolf.
When Zhao Wei took Yunxiu's hand and walked back to the room to rest, the sky was already turning pale.
The rice seedlings in the experimental field stretched out their leaves in the morning light, and the shouts of villagers going to the fields could be heard in the distance.
He suddenly held Yunxiu's hand tightly and said, "Wife, you should take a rest. I still have something to do."
After Yunxiu became pregnant, she became a little sleepy. She had not slept at night because of the wild wolf incident, and now she could not bear it any longer.
She also knew that Zhao Wei had a seven-minute sleeping method, which allowed him to feel energetic after just a short nap. Unlike her, if she didn't get enough sleep, she would definitely not feel energetic.
Zhao Wei tucked in the quilt for Yunxiu and watched her fall into a deep sleep quickly. The fatigue in her eyes was finally replaced by peace.
He tiptoed out of the room and when he closed the door behind him, the pale sky had turned a light orange, as if someone had knocked over a rouge box.
"Huangmao, go check the irrigation canal of the experimental field again. The temperature will be a bit high today. Don't let the rice seedlings burn their roots." Zhao Wei said to Huangmao who was stretching his arms at the gate of the yard, and lowered his voice very low. "Tell everyone to move faster and finish the work early so that you can go home and rest. The sun is too hot."
The yellow-haired man chuckled, revealing two rows of white teeth: "Don't worry, Master, we all know it, you don't need to remind us."
He turned around and ran to the experimental field, humming a tuneless little tune, adding some liveliness to the quiet morning.
Zhao Wei walked to the door of the woodshed and gently pushed it open a crack.
The mother wolf raised her head alertly, and when she saw it was him, she slowly put it down and used her body to protect the four little wolf cubs more tightly.
Zhao Wei took out an oil-paper bag from his arms, which contained the meat that Master Lin had stuffed into his hands before he left. He tore off a small handful and handed it to the mother wolf's mouth.
The female wolf hesitated for a moment, but still stuck out her tongue and licked it.
Zhao Wei finally felt relieved. This beast really recognized him.
He checked the wound on the wolf's leg again. Although there was some blood seeping from the gauze, it was much better than last night. It seemed that Master Lin's medicine was indeed effective.
"Take good care of yourself. When you get better, don't forget me!"
Zhao Wei spoke softly to the she-wolf, as if he was talking to an old friend.
The she-wolf let out a low whimper from her throat, as if responding to him.
When Zhao Wei returned to the main room, he saw that Wang Caigu had already gotten up and was busy in the kitchen.
When she saw Zhao Wei, she quickly put her finger to her lips and said "hush", "Your wife is still asleep? I made some millet porridge for her, it will be just right for her when she wakes up."
Zhao Wei walked over and acted coquettishly to Wang Caigu: "Mom, thank you for your hard work. You are so kind."
Wang Caigu slapped his hand away, but her face was full of smiles: "Silly boy, why are you being so polite to your mother? By the way, have you settled the wolf cubs? I think I heard Erlaizi say he wanted to raise one just now?"
"Yeah, they all like it."
Zhao Wei helped add firewood, "When the wolf cubs grow up, let them patrol with Dahei, and they can also add some protection to the village."
Wang Caigu nodded: "You are very thoughtful. The recent days have been bloody and we are all very scared. Who knows what will happen in the future? It is always good to be more prepared."
As he was talking, Er Laizi's voice came from outside: "Master, I'm going back to the city. Do you have anything else to tell me?"
Zhao Wei thought about it and realized that there really was one.
"Wait for me a moment. I'll write a letter and you can send it out for me."
He sent a letter every day, trying to get the master to come back.
Humph, without his protection, he wouldn't dare let Yunxiu give birth to a child alone.
