Chapter 060 The Xiong Family Comes to the Door
"Go and have a look!"
Gu Weidong said to Ye Qing.
The two of them ran towards where Gu Weinan and his sister were, and soon they arrived in front of the little guys.
When they got closer and saw what was going on, they were all dumbfounded.
There were five wolf cubs and two black bear cubs in the forest, fighting over a beehive.
Unfortunately, the wolf cubs are only about two months old and have not yet been weaned. Their baby teeth are not sharp enough, so it is unlikely that they will be able to learn from their parents to bite off their opponent's neck with their fangs.
The black bear cub was not in a much better situation. The muscles on its body and the sharp claws on its paws had not yet begun to develop. The damage it caused to its opponent by twisting and turning was basically negative, but it made itself staggering and gasping for breath.
In short, although the two sides were fighting fiercely, it looked like they were just being cute and naughty.
What made everyone laugh and cry the most was that the faces of these little guys were all swollen like lumps without exception.
It seems that when digging out the beehive, these wolf cubs and the black bear could not escape punishment. They were stung badly by the bees, which was a painful price they paid for their greed.
Probably having heard the cries of the little wolf cubs, the mother wolf who had been guarding Mancang immediately jumped out of the wooden house, rushed into the woods and started howling at the little wolf cubs.
When the wolf cubs heard the mother wolf's call, they immediately ran towards her, rubbing against her affectionately and acting coquettishly.
However, the warm and friendly style of painting did not last long.
The five wolf cubs thought they had their mother's support, so they immediately became tough and turned back aggressively. After arrogantly pushing the two bear cubs away, they picked up the beehive and ran away.
Although the two bear cubs were several times larger than the wolf cubs, they were still young and had not had much experience. When they saw the mother wolf standing majestically not far away, they immediately became nervous and fearful, and they dared not continue to compete with the wolf cubs.
But the two bear cubs were still unwilling to give up. They just stood there, looking timidly and pitifully at the wild beehive that they had dug up with great difficulty, and were unwilling to leave.
Very good, the mystery that had confused Ye Qing before has finally been solved!
She was wondering why the coyotes would confront the blind black bear for no reason. It turned out that it was caused by these naughty kids!
These two black bear cubs are probably the children of the big black bear that had a fierce battle with Mancang last night.
The child ran away in the middle of the night and disappeared. How could the blind bear not be anxious? He would definitely run around in the forest, anxiously looking for his child.
It is estimated that the big black bear went to the beehive at the beginning to look for it. He did not find his own cubs near the beehive, but smelled the scent of several wolf cubs. He mistakenly thought that his cubs were taken away by coyotes, so he ran to the coyotes' territory to ask for his cubs.
As a result, Mancang's wife thought that the black bear was looking for trouble, and the two sides started fighting after a disagreement, and in the end both sides were injured.
Who would have thought that the two bear cubs didn't encounter the coyotes at all. After they found a beehive hidden in the woods, they climbed up with great effort and poked the hive down. However, the hive was snatched away by five wolf cubs as soon as it hit the ground.
How could the two black bear cubs be happy about this? They immediately caught up with the five wolf cubs and started fighting.
Just as the beehive was poked, the wild bees became angry and chased after them, staring at the wolf cubs and black bear leeches.
So, these furry kids, with their noses and faces bruised and swollen by the wild bees, kept snatching the beehive to eat the honey, and made a big fight in the mountain. They had no idea how badly they had hurt their father.
In summary, this was actually an oolong incident, but in the end it turned out to be a bloody murder because of a beehive.
If Comrade Mancang in the wooden house knew that this unprovoked disaster was entirely caused by his own child, and that he almost died because of it, I wonder how he would feel.
As for the bear father who was betrayed by the naughty kid, he was attacked by the coyotes for such a long time and must have been bitten a lot. We don't know where he is licking his wounds in the woods now. I guess he doesn't feel well.
Gu Weidong was really speechless at this moment.
At first he thought it was a pack of coyotes hunting the black bear or a black bear trying to catch a wolf to eat, but it turned out to be neither of those things. This was a violent and bloody incident caused by a misunderstanding and conflict between two impulsive and bad-tempered parents due to lack of communication.
After deducing the truth of the whole incident, Ye Qing was both amused and confused by this unexpected turn of events.
"The black bear was badly injured. I don't know where it is hiding now, but I guess it will definitely not give up looking for its cubs!"
"So we have to find a way to lure these two black bear cubs to some other place. We can't let them stay around the cabin. Otherwise, if we lure the black bear over here, it will be troublesome if it thinks we've taken its cubs away!"
"That thing has a bad temper. It's no joke when it gets mad. Just look at what happened to the coyotes. We can't just sit there and wait for it to die. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous!"
Gu Weidong quickly analyzed calmly.
Several people felt that what Gu Weidong said made sense. They were all afraid of a head-on confrontation with the black bear, so they had to send the two bear cubs away as quickly as possible!
But the two black bear cubs were now obsessed with the wild beehive filled with honey. Even though their fat faces were as swollen as pigs' heads and their eyes were only a narrow slit, they were still filled with a desire for sweetness. They looked so pitiful that several people couldn't bear to do anything.
Seeing this situation, Ye Qing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
She couldn't help but reach out her hand to Gu Weidong who was standing beside her.
Gu Weidong was stunned for a moment and looked at Ye Qing in confusion, not knowing what she meant.
Ye Qing pointed to his pocket and said concisely:
"Maltose!"
Gu Weidong understood instantly and quickly took out the handful of maltose wrapped in oil paper from his pocket.
Ye Qing took the sugar and turned back to the cabin. She took out the clay pot that they brought into the mountains this time, filled it with water and placed it on the charcoal fire. She took out all the maltose that Gu Weidong gave her and threw it into the pot. Then she stirred the water while boiling it. Soon the maltose melted in the water and finally boiled it into a slightly sticky syrup.
Then Ye Qing found an old bowl with a chip in the wooden house, poured the syrup in the clay pot into the bowl, and then broke off a slightly thicker branch outside the wooden house, put some sticky syrup on it, and poured it over the two black bear cubs.
The two black bear cubs looked at Ye Qing warily at first, and were a little hesitant when they first smelled the scent of sugar water on the branches.
But soon, the two naughty kids couldn't hold back their curiosity and tentatively licked the branch with their tongues.
Instantly, the sweet smell of maltose captured the taste buds of the two naughty children.
The two little guys' eyes lit up. They never imagined that there was something in the world that tasted better than honey!
The two naughty kids, having tasted the sweetness, no longer cared about the stolen wild beehive, and immediately hugged the branch and began to lick it happily.
Bears love sweets, and anything sweet is their favorite.
Ultimately, it is because foods with high sugar content allow them to absorb higher energy, and the high calories can make them strong and powerful, while also allowing them to gain weight quickly to resist severe cold.
But in nature, the only high-sugar food that bears can find is honey, which is why they are so fond of it and can't forget it.
But if you feed them highly concentrated syrup, they will still be happy and confused.
Ye Qing quickly waved to Gu Weinan and Gu Weibei over there.
The brother and sister followed immediately.
Ye Qing stuffed the bowl in his hand to the two people:
"This is syrup made from maltose. You two can use the method I just used. Use a branch dipped in syrup to lead these two black bear cubs away. The farther the better! Then throw this broken bowl away and come back. Don't let the black bear cubs follow you again!"
The two men understood immediately, and after discussing with the bowl of syrup, one of them carried the hunting rifle, and the other held the branch and the bowl of syrup, and quickly led the two black bear cubs away from the cabin and the coyote den.
The two black bear cubs were fooled. After licking the syrup off the stick thrown by Ye Qing, they found that Gu Weidong and Cheng Dong were waving a branch dipped in syrup in their hands, so they immediately ran over.
Only when the two black bear cubs finally disappeared in the nearby woods did Ye Qing and Gu Weidong breathe a sigh of relief.
However, after this episode, Ye Qing could no longer sleep. Seeing Gu Weidong repairing the wooden house outside, Ye Qing simply applied medicine and treated the other injured members of the wolf pack.
Except for Mancang, the other members of the coyote pack had basically only minor injuries. After a night, the blood had clotted and scabbed over, so it wasn't really serious.
But Ye Qing couldn't sit still anyway, so he simply got some herbs nearby, mashed them into juice and applied it to the wolves.
At the beginning, Ye Qing was a little hesitant to get close, fearing that the wolves would become ferocious.
But what she didn't expect was that the first one to crawl towards her was the female wolf who was particularly wary of her before.
The female wolf also had a close combat with the black bear last night, and the black bear cut three gashes on her forehead.
Ye Qing applied the medicine on its wounds. After the wounds were stimulated by the medicine, the female wolf was obviously in so much pain that her whole body tensed up, but she remained calm and stable, and never showed her fangs to Ye Qing again.
With the mother wolf standing docile in front, the wolf members behind did not dare to resist after the mother wolf gave a warning with a low howl. They just lay on the ground and let Ye Qing do what he wanted.
After Ye Qing applied medicine to the wounded one by one, the mother wolf even rubbed against Ye Qing to express her gratitude to him in this way.
It must be said that Ye Qing's previous use of all his supernatural powers to save Mancang was indeed effective. When Gu Weinan and his sister led the two bear cubs away and returned to the cabin, the coyote Mancang finally woke up from his coma.
Although it couldn't move yet, there was light in its eyes and it looked much more energetic.
Upon seeing this, Gu Weidong was extremely happy. After consulting Ye Qing and confirming that he could feed a small amount of liquid food, he directly gave away his share of pork offal and vegetable porridge, boiled it in a clay pot until it was finely ground and soft, and then carefully fed it into Mancang's stomach bit by bit.
After breakfast, it was already around nine or almost ten o'clock.
A few people discussed going into the mountains to dig some more medicinal herbs.
Considering that Gu Weidong was still injured and had rushed up the mountain to find them in the rain last night and had not rested well the whole night, the few people did not let Gu Weidong go with them, but let him stay in the cabin to guard the warehouse.
However, there were dangers aplenty in the deep mountains, with wild animals lurking around at any time. In just one day and one night, they had already seen two ferocious beasts, the coyote and the blind bear, so everyone remained extremely vigilant.
Gu Weidong was still quite worried about letting his two younger brothers and sisters take Ye Qing into the woods to collect herbs.
"This deep forest is not like the mountain behind our house. It is full of dangers. You must pay more attention to your surroundings and never let your guard down. Don't run too far. If there is an emergency that you can't deal with, just signal Mu Cang. I will definitely hear you from here in the cabin and rush over in time!"
Gu Weidong reminded again and again.
Gu Weinan and Gu Weibei nodded repeatedly and patted their chests to indicate that they could definitely handle it.
However, not long after they entered the woods, they encountered a large, golden cat with black and brown golden markings.
As soon as he saw the golden leopard standing on the tree branch and looking down on everyone with light steps, Gu Weinan's hair immediately stood up. He was so scared that his face turned pale and he shouted "Oh my God" on the spot.
Gu Weibei was so nervous that he immediately raised the rifle in his hand and aimed at the ferocious beast on the tree with caution.
However, Ye Qing's eyes were fixed on the leopard without a single blink.
This golden leopard is not big, only about one meter long, but its body proportions are very beautiful and symmetrical. If future zoologists were here, they would surely be greedy and eager to take out their cameras and video cameras to capture the beautiful figure of this wild golden leopard.
After all, in a few decades, it would be harder to see golden leopards walking in the forest in Changbai Mountain than to win the first prize in the lottery.
The Gu siblings were terrified and wary of it, but the golden leopard was only annoyed at the strangers who broke into its territory and disturbed its sleep. Its eyes showed the contempt of a king, and after looking at the three people below with disdain, it jumped down from the big tree where it was perched, and moved lightly and gracefully through the bushes, and soon disappeared into the depths of the woods.
Seeing the clouded leopard leave on its own initiative, the Gu siblings finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Now the three of them really didn't dare to go any further, so they just looked for herbal medicine in the nearby area, digging up anything that could be used as medicine.
After digging for about two hours, it was already noon and everyone was a little tired, so they decided to go back to the cabin to have lunch first.
As a result, when they returned to the cabin, the three were shocked by the situation at the door.
There were several coyotes guarding the cabin, and at the door of the cabin, there was a pile of animal carcasses piled side by side, all of which had their necks bitten off and dragged over.
Rabbits and pheasants were child's play. Ye Qing even saw a wild gazelle inside. All these things must weigh at least hundreds of pounds. I wonder how much effort these coyotes put in dragging them back.
"What's going on?"
The Gu siblings were stunned when they saw this. They first wondered if the coyotes were ferocious, and then they became worried about Gu Weidong in the house. They couldn't help but shout anxiously,
"Brother, are you in there?"
Gu Weidong was taking a nap beside the full warehouse and had no idea what was happening outside. He opened the door and walked out after hearing the movements of several people. He was immediately startled by the pile of prey at the door.
At this time, Mancang's wife also limped back from the woods, with a bloody prey in her mouth.
After seeing clearly what was in its mouth, Gu Weinan and his sister exclaimed what a great guy!
It was a bay pig, more than twice as big as the one Gu Weinan hunted last night, and probably weighed about 50 to 60 kilograms!
The she-wolf held the porcupine's hind leg in its mouth and dragged it forward vigorously and with a clear purpose, apparently intending to drag the prey to the cabin.
What's going on? Don't wolves usually kill and eat their prey on the spot, then run away? When did they change their lifestyle and start hoarding food?
Just when Ye Qing and his friends were in a state of confusion, the mother wolf finally dragged the porcupine back.
Then the she-wolf howled.
The group of coyotes that were originally lying in front of the wooden house all stood up, picked up the prey on the ground, and came to Ye Qing in an orderly manner.
Then all the coyotes neatly brought the prey to Ye Qing. The mother wolf also pushed the big thorny boar over. Then, the whole wolf pack, led by the mother wolf, crawled at Ye Qing's feet and performed gentle and submissive movements.
None of them were stupid. When they saw the mother wolf's actions, what was there for them to not understand?
It turned out that these preys were hunted by the mother wolf and her pack as a thank-you gift to Ye Qing.
"The female wolf's action should mean submission and surrender. I've heard from old hunters before that Tibetan mastiffs, falcons, and coyotes are inherently fierce and unruly, and generally find it difficult to surrender to humans. They will only recognize their master if they recognize him from the bottom of their hearts. And once they recognize their master, they will always be loyal and obedient to their master and will never betray him for the rest of their lives."
“So generally people who raise Tibetan mastiffs must start raising them when they are just born, and falcons need to go through a very difficult falcon training process before they can become hunting tools for hunters.”
"As for creatures like coyotes, I've never heard of anyone being able to make them truly recognize their master. You've probably set a precedent!"
Gu Weidong explained with a smile in his eyes.
This made Ye Qing a little surprised:
"Recognize the master? Aren't you and Mancang considered as one?"
Gu Weidong shook his head: "Mancang and I are more like equal playmates. After it was able to survive independently, I released it back to the forest. I also never asked it to recognize me as its master, so our relationship is different from your situation."
"You saved the wolf's companion and also saved it and its people. It is grateful for your kindness and willingly submits to you. As long as you need it, it will be willing to follow you for the rest of its life."
Ye Qing couldn't help but look at the female wolf.
In order to hunt this big thorny boar, the female wolf was bitten many times, and now her whole body was almost pierced by the thorns like a sieve.
But the guy still didn't give up the prey. He bit the throat of the porcupine fiercely and stubbornly brought the prey back.
When evacuating from the cave in the early morning, Ye Qing specifically told Gu Weibei and the others to take the porcupine skin with them. In the morning in the cabin, after Ye Qing applied medicine to several coyotes, he took advantage of the free time to use tweezers to pull out the porcupine quills on the skin bit by bit and carefully collected the quills.
The female wolf probably saw Ye Qing's actions and thought that Ye Qing really liked the thorns on the scorpion pig's body, so she was so determined and serious that she was even unwilling to rely on other coyotes and insisted on hunting the scorpion pig herself in order to personally present this prey to Ye Qing.
Ye Qing's heart was filled with emotions of sadness, sadness, and a sense of both laughter and tears.
In her previous life, she had also felt this kind of sincere and ardent embrace and protection from her golden retriever, but that was because she and it had fought side by side countless times, they had known each other from humble beginnings and had grown up together through thick and thin.
But she had never had any contact with this group of coyotes. Just because she rescued them, they became loyal to her without hesitation. This made Ye Qing feel a shock that struck her soul.
This one or two-day trip into the mountains allowed her to learn a new lesson from these animals.
This class made her realize from the bottom of her heart that these animals that grew up wild in the mountains actually have thoughts and spirits, and their emotions are no less than humans.
The survival and development of mankind should not be based on threatening or even shrinking and destroying their living space.
Thinking back to the end of the world a hundred years later, after a natural disaster swept through the world, the entire planet became like purgatory.
The same kind was slaughtered, the living space was constantly compressed, and mankind struggled painfully for ten years, but the apocalypse has not ended, and perhaps it will never end.
The personal experiences of those ten years had made Ye Qing feel endless suffering and loneliness, but at this moment, she suddenly realized, as if she had an epiphany, that the catastrophe might not be the "reward" that humans had brought upon themselves.
The disappearance of species and creatures, the polluted land and sky, all indicate that they are evidence of human beings destroying their own home.
At the same time, a thought flashed through Ye Qing's mind, and she seemed to know vaguely why she traveled from the end of the world to the 1970s.
Perhaps, God did not send her to this poor and backward era for no reason.
It is very likely that they hope that she can use her special abilities to do something for this world that has not yet been destroyed, just like changing the original body's predetermined fate in the original story line, and also reverse the trajectory of the ecological evolution of the entire planet, so as to avoid repeating the same mistakes and allowing the doomsday catastrophe of all mankind and all living things to happen again.
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Ye Qing was surprised to find that some shackles in her body were suddenly broken free, and instantly she felt her supernatural powers upgraded!
There were no signs, nor any physical discomfort. It was not at all as dangerous as the time she had been in Sheshan, when she had bled and fallen into a coma. In the blink of an eye, Ye Qing discovered that her supernatural powers had become stronger.
Her supernatural powers, which had been used up while rescuing the coyote Mancang, now surged like a river. The powerful healing energy quickly poured into her body, filling every meridian point and nerve endings. The whole process was unstoppable and was completed easily in a moment.
This sudden change caught Ye Qing completely off guard, and she was stunned on the spot.
Ever since she upgraded her superpowers in Sheshan last time, Ye Qing found that her superpowers were like water flowing into a lake. But if she wanted to upgrade in her original way of absorbing the wood energy of the forest, she would have to fill up the entire lake, but this was an almost impossible task.
But at that time, Ye Qing was still limited by her experience and fixed thinking of the past ten years in the last days. She always felt that if she wanted to upgrade her superpowers, she could only rely on absorbing energy to break through the shackles. That was why she came to Kaoshantun and wanted to seek a breakthrough in Changbai Mountain.
But now, the sudden upgrade of supernatural powers was like a loud slap in the face, which directly woke Ye Qing up.
At this moment, Ye Qing realized that she had actually been going in the wrong direction in the past ten years of the apocalypse, and the so-called upgrade experience she summarized was completely wrong!
Her healing ability relies on absorbing energy to mechanically complete upgrades, and she was lucky enough to be able to upgrade to level two. If she hadn't suddenly realized this level, let alone struggling for ten years in the apocalypse, even if she came to this new world to start over, she would probably be stuck at level two and unable to upgrade any further until she died!
After figuring out the key, Ye Qing's face turned pale and blue, and he almost cried because of his own stupidity.
Sure enough, she was just as the old professor of traditional Chinese medicine commented, dull and brainless, otherwise why did it take her so long to comprehend the mystery?
She was like the outer disciple in martial arts novels who was accepted into the sect without any reason. She only knew how to practice external skills by increasing her brute force. After years of hard training, she made almost no progress. But one day, she suddenly discovered that the inner disciples first practiced the Heart Sutra to cultivate internal skills to improve themselves, and they were not in the same league at all!
Seeing Ye Qing's changing expression, Gu Weidong sensitively realized that something was wrong with Ye Qing and couldn't help asking:
"Are you okay?"
Ye Qing finally came to his senses and quickly shook his head to indicate that it was nothing.
She wasn't very interested in the coyote's recognition of its master, but at this moment she felt sorry for the female wolf.
Being stung by a porcupine is definitely not a pleasant feeling, not to mention that half of this female wolf's body has been stung like a hedgehog, with short quills shot by the porcupine all over it. Just looking at it makes people gasp. I don't know how this female wolf can endure it.
Ye Qing was helpless and could only take out the tweezers from her bag, motioning the mother wolf to stand still. Then she squatted down and carefully pulled out the thorns from the mother wolf's body.
Seeing this, Gu Weinan also came over to help.
Just as Gu Weinan said before, this porcupine quill is covered with barbs, which can penetrate into the flesh as deep as two or three centimeters. When a quill is pulled out, a small hole will be left with blood gushing out, and the wound must be stopped while the quill is being pulled out.
Fortunately, several people dug up a lot of medicinal herbs in the mountains, including some external herbs for stopping bleeding. Ye Qing found some herbs, secretly injected a little wood energy into them, crushed them into herbal juice and applied it to the wound of the female wolf.
The supernatural power can bring out the effect of the herbs to the extreme. The effect can be seen in a few minutes. Soon, the bloody wounds on the mother wolf's body will stop bleeding. However, it may take another three or two days for the wounds to scab over.
After working for a long time, they finally pulled out all the thorns on the wolf. Just as they were about to clean up their tools, Gu Weibei suddenly pointed at the pile of prey at the door and asked her:
"Ye Zhiqing, what should we do with these things?"
Ye Qing glanced at the well-behaved and docile female wolf and her pack, hesitated for a moment and then said:
"I can't refuse your kindness, so I'll take it and take it down the mountain together tomorrow."
Ye Qing actually didn't want this thank you gift, nor did he want to seize the prey that the coyotes had worked so hard to bring back.
But she was worried that if she didn't accept these things, the mother wolf might think that she was not satisfied with the prey. If she took the tribe to the mountains to hunt bigger prey, Ye Qing would really have a headache.
Thinking that this pack of hyenas might drag back gorals, red deer, or something like that, Ye Qing's heart shuddered. She thought that she should quickly collect these prey happily and fulfill the mother wolf's intention.
Among this pile of prey, the most valuable ones are the big porcupine and the gazelle.
Needless to say, Ye Qing and his friends had already eaten the prickly boar last night. It tasted very delicious, and the sharp thorns on the prickly boar's fur had great medicinal value. Ye Qing planned to collect them one by one, bring them down the mountain, prepare them well, and use them as medicine.
As for the gazelle, it must be at least several dozen kilograms. It has been running in the mountains for a long time, and its meat is tender and delicious. It is incomparable to domestic sheep and goats.
However, it was still a bit of an eyesore to take so much meat back. If she had hunted them herself, Ye Qing would have thought it was fine to share some with each household in the village. However, these prey were gifts from the coyotes, so Ye Qing was unwilling to share them.
As if he had seen through Ye Qing's confusion, Gu Weidong reminded him at the right time:
"If you find it difficult, just hide these things in the cabin first. I will smoke them for you later and bring them back to you in batches."
"Of course, if you want, you can also take the meat to the black market to deal with it. I will cut the skin off for you and let my father help tan it for you. The price of the meat will not be lower than that in the vegetable market. You will definitely not suffer a loss." Gu Weidong assured Ye Qing in a low voice.
Ye Qing was stunned by this, and couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Black market? There is a black market in Qingshan Town?"
When she was in Shencheng before, she had thought about looking for the black market, but she was unfamiliar with the place and after searching for half a day she didn't even know which way the door of the black market faced. Unexpectedly, when she came to Kaoshantun, she actually heard the word black market from Gu Weidong.
Gu Weidong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and explained with a smile:
"It's not in the town, it's in the county. These days, there are many people who lack food and clothing. People in the city are hungry and have nowhere to buy meat. Farmers in the village have no money or tickets and it's difficult to even exchange daily necessities. Everyone has to find some special channels to solve their daily needs, so it's normal to have a black market."
Ye Qing understood it immediately.
It seems that when Gu Weidong worked in the county steel plant in his previous life, he must have been around the black market a lot. He may have also built up a lot of connections in the black market in the county, otherwise he would not have been so sure and even promised that he would never let her suffer a loss.
Ye Qing looked at the prey on the ground, thought for a moment and said:
"Leave the small prey to me. Cut off three to five pounds of yellow sheep and spiny pig meat for me. I will take it back to Grandma Zou to taste. If no one wants the entrails and bones, you can also keep them for me. I will take them back to salt them into offal as a side dish or stew the bones and radish soup. You can handle the rest as you wish."
Gu Weidong nodded upon hearing this, indicating that he had taken note of it.
Because of the upgrade of her superpowers, Ye Qing was in particularly good spirits, so after returning to the wooden house, she secretly used her wood-related superpowers to heal Mancang's wounds. Although it didn't make the coyote immediately full of energy, the internal injuries were mostly repaired.
In the afternoon, several people took turns going out and spent several hours digging herbs in the mountains.
This time, I was lucky. Not only did I discover a natural Polygonum multiflorum that was at least 20 to 30 years old, but I also found a bunch of wild Dendrobium officinale in a crack in the natural stone.
These medicinal herbs were the key capital for the future development of the herb garden built by Ye Qing in Kaoshantun. Of course, she took them all away without any hesitation.
After returning to the cabin, Ye Qing carefully counted the herbs they had collected. It must be said that although they had only been in the mountains for two days and various incidents had occurred during that time which delayed them for quite a while, they still gained a lot. It could be said that they were extremely lucky.
At night, there were wolves guarding around the cabin, and finally nothing unusual happened. No other wild animals even dared to approach the cabin. In addition, Mancang's injuries were visibly improving, so the four of them finally slept well.
Early the next morning, Ye Qing and the other two packed up their things and prepared to go down the mountain, leaving only Gu Weidong to stay in the wooden house.
However, as soon as they opened the wooden door, they were stunned.
The mother wolf and a group of coyotes who had been quietly guarding outside the door were now hunching their bodies and ruffling their fur, angrily confronting their enemies as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
About three or four meters away from the door of the cabin, four black furry bears were sitting in a row, staring with their big round, wet eyes at the four people who came out of the cabin like naive people.
The key point is that under the feet of these four bears, there are several dead animals stepping on them.
When Ye Qing glanced over, he suddenly felt overwhelmed and felt like he was in bad shape.
The four black bears at the side door could not sense Ye Qing's inner collapse. When they saw someone coming out, they immediately moved towards the door with the prey in their mouths.
This scene is exactly the same as what the she-wolf and her pack did yesterday.
However, after throwing the bloody prey in front of Ye Qing, the four black bears squatted on the ground obediently, tilted their heads and looked at her with longing faces.
Ye Qing was suddenly filled with black lines on his face, and was speechless for a moment.
Very good, now the whole family is together and has shown up!
There were two big black bears with two cubs. The male bear's body was even covered with wounds from being bitten by sharp teeth. One could guess with just one's toes that this must be the one that had fought with the coyote pack in Mancang in the forest yesterday!
As for the remaining two cubs, just by looking at their faces which are still as swollen as buns, you can tell that they must be the two unlucky kids who dug out the wild beehive and cheated their father yesterday!
Ye Qing really wanted to loudly question Gu Weinan and his brother:
Didn't I tell you to send these two brats as far away as possible? Why didn't you two send these naughty kids away, and even brought their parents here?!
At this moment, the two bear parents were pushing the prey they brought towards Ye Qing.
A sika deer and a wild boar had both been dead for a long time.
As for the male black bear's feet, its fleshy paws were stepping on a giant green python about one or two meters long.
The green python was still breathing, but it no longer had the strength to cling to people. Its tail would occasionally twist a few times, but the python woke up from coma several times and just when it stretched its head to escape, it was slapped back by the black bear's claws.
It would be strange if this slap didn't make the green python see stars and be dazed.
Ye Qing's mouth twitched as he watched from the side, and he felt a headache for the poor Baishan Green Python.
"Are you here to repay a favor as well?" Gu Weinan was dumbfounded.
She stared in astonishment at the large black figures standing at the door.
Blocked by these black bears, the door of the cabin was completely blocked, and it was obviously impossible for the three of them to go out.
Ye Qing stared at Gu Weinan as if he were an idiot:
"What are you repaying? Did you treat his injuries or help him find his baby?"
Gu Weinan was choked up immediately:
"So what does it mean that these blind bears dumped so much prey here?"
Gu Weibei was quick-witted. After seeing the eager expressions of the black bears, he quickly realized what was going on and laughed:
"It must be the broken bowl we threw yesterday! I think these two big black bears probably tasted the syrup made by Ye Zhiqing yesterday!"
