Chapter 75 Dawn
Ye Qing's heart trembled, and he immediately ran to the yard of the Gu family next door in a hurry.
Gu Weidong took out a letter from his arms and handed it over, saying in a low voice:
"After my friend in the county helped you deliver the things, he happened to stay overnight in Mohe. My comrade's relative brought your medicines to the farm and met Professor Han. He said that he was sick in bed and very thin. But after seeing the things you sent and knowing that you were a student of his lover, he still sat up and wrote you a letter in reply."
When he was in Shanghai, Ye Qing had seen the black-and-white photo of Dr. Han when he was young in Song Chunhua's hand. He was a young man in his twenties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked very sunny.
It is hard to imagine what it would be like for such an ambitious and intelligent student who is devoted to scientific research to be trapped in the freezing cold Mo River, working in the wilderness every day, and wasting several years.
Hearing that Professor Han couldn't even get out of bed, Ye Qing's throat choked. After taking the heavy letter, she bowed solemnly to Gu Weidong and thanked him.
Ye Qing, who had read the Kinki pet novel, knew better than anyone that without Gu Weidong's help, she would never have been able to contact Han Yabo so quickly.
According to the plot of the novel, Han Yabo suffered from a serious illness at this time. The pain gradually consumed his body, and he finally passed away at a young age. He was never able to leave the labor camp farm where he was trapped.
Right now, Gu Weidong has built a bridge of communication between her and Professor Han through various channels. Even though the communication is very troublesome and short, Ye Qing already feels extremely fortunate and satisfied.
Maybe there is a divine will in all things.
If she had not saved Gu Weidong in Shencheng, perhaps even if she came to Kaoshantun to join the team, she would not have had any intersection with Gu Weidong;
If the two had no intersection, they would naturally not be honest with each other about the secrets hidden in each other. Ye Qing would definitely not go to Gu Weidong to inquire about Shanhe Farm because of Han Yabo's matter. If she wants to contact this master, she is afraid that she will have to wait until when.
Therefore, Ye Qing's bow was extremely sincere, because she was truly grateful from the bottom of her heart to Gu Weidong who provided this help.
Gu Weidong was startled by Ye Qing's bow and quickly dodged, then said with a smile:
"What are you doing? You have helped me and my family so many times, and I have never done this to you. Do I have to bow to you three times as well?"
Ye Qing held the letter tightly in his hand without saying a word.
Seeing that her attention was obviously focused on the letter in her hand, Gu Weidong couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
He came from the 1990s and knows only too well the complexity of this special period.
Because it was this difficult and turbulent period that caused a huge change in the mentality of many people who experienced this era.
Some people have learned from their pain, faced up to this suffering and turned their grief into strength, forging ahead with even greater determination and determination, and will not stop until they achieve the dream of a strong military and a powerful Chinese nation.
Some people, after feeling the excruciating pain, became dejected and chose to escape and stay away, bidding farewell to this sad place completely. Hence, a few years after the reform and opening up, a wave of going abroad broke out in China.
Outsiders are not qualified to judge whether someone's choice is right or wrong. Only those who have experienced this difficult period can empathize. However, Gu Weidong, who is familiar with the course of history in the next twenty years and has a chance to start over, finds it difficult to remain indifferent when he learns that an expert who was originally knowledgeable and should have served the country was exiled to a cold and bitter place and was almost exhausted.
Especially after seeing Ye Qing, who was always calm and composed, now had red eyes and looked uneasy, even a straight man like Gu Weidong couldn't help but be moved.
He couldn't help but reach out and pat Ye Qing's shoulder, saying in a gentle and soothing voice:
"Go back and read the letter first. My friend from the county transportation company basically goes to Mohe once a month. Take some time out in a few days and I'll take you to the boy's home in the county to get to know him."
"I will be back in the army in about half a month. If you have anything to send, just go find him yourself. Don't worry, the person I find for you is definitely reliable!"
Ye Qing nodded, took the letter back home, and sat quietly on the edge of the kang to unfold the letter.
Maybe due to a long-term illness, the writer did not hold the pen firmly enough, so the handwriting is a little shaky, but the overall feeling is still that the pen is as fast as clouds and smoke, and it looks quite elegant.
Although she was almost dying from the illness, the writer was still in a very peaceful state of mind. She did not complain about her environment and experiences at all in her tone. She was even quite optimistic and positive. She was very excited and surprised by the sudden greeting from Song Chunhua's student. She also inquired in detail about the specific situation of Ye Qing's joining the team in the Great Northern Wilderness.
Of course, the main concern in the letter is still his ex-wife Song Chunhua.
The old professor asked Ye Qing cautiously in his heart whether Teacher Song was still teaching at Shencheng Middle School, whether she had started a new family and had children, whether her in-laws treated Song Chunhua well, what kind of person her current husband was, etc.
These words flowed so naturally and smoothly, as if they were from an old friend who had not seen each other for many years. Ye Qing had no idea how many times Professor Han had thought about these questions in his mind and how many times he had pondered over them during his years of labor reform in Shanhe Farm before writing them down.
Perhaps it was because he understood Teacher Song's stubborn temper too well, or perhaps it was because the emotional bond between the couple was too deep. Even though he had been far away in Mohe and isolated from the world for many years, he still had a vague premonition in his heart. He guessed that Song Chunhua might not have let go of her marriage with him, and was still stubbornly waiting for him to go back and reunite with her one day.
So, at the end of the letter, the professor abruptly changed the subject and told Ye Qing in an almost humorous tone that if Song Chunhua had not found a suitable partner yet, he hoped that Ye Qing, as a student, could help urge her to go out more often and look around more. Maybe her destined lover was waiting anxiously in some corner.
When Ye Qing saw the last sentence of the signature, "The letter is short but the meaning is long. I won't elaborate on it one by one. Although I am in the snowy town, everything is fine. Don't worry, don't worry, and take care of yourself," he couldn't hold back his tears at all and burst out on the spot.
Ye Qing, who was crying uncontrollably, immediately took out a piece of letter paper and wrote to Song Chunhua who was far away in Shencheng, telling her which medicines she had sent to Han Yabo and the specific details of how she contacted Han Yabo.
Then early the next morning, she rode her bicycle to the town post office and mailed the letter to Song Chunhua.
Considering that the mailing period of the letter was a bit too long and there was a possibility of it being missed or lost in the process, she sent another telegram.
Sending telegrams through the post office is more troublesome and the charges are also very expensive.
A telegram consists of two parts: the text and the address. The text costs one dime per word, while the address costs five cents per word.
Therefore, unless it is an extremely urgent matter, most people will not choose this method to send messages. Even if they really want to send a message, they will try to be as concise as possible and will not add a single word or nonsense.
Ye Qing didn't intend to save money on this matter, but considering that topics related to Han Yabo are still taboo in Shencheng, if she directly writes her master's name on it, it may cause trouble for Song Chunhua or even herself.
So after thinking it over, Ye Qing wrote on the telegram:
——Comrade Red Fuji has been contacted and a detailed letter has been sent. Please hope he is doing well.
Song Chunhua once said that when she and Han Yabo met for the first time, the fruit Han Yabo gave her was Red Fuji. It was the first time she had eaten such a sweet fruit, and she would never forget the taste for the rest of her life.
So Ye Qing used Red Fuji as a secret code, and I believe Song Chunhua would be able to tell at a glance who this name refers to.
After the telegram was sent, the heavy stone that had been hanging in Ye Qing's heart finally fell to the ground.
She didn't expect to completely cure the disease with the medicines she sent, but Ye Qing was still confident that she could save Dr. Han's life from Prince Yan.
As long as the mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. As long as people are still in the farm, no matter whether they are good or bad, they should hang on to their lives first, and everything else can be dealt with in the future. She doesn't believe that she can't think of a proper solution!
More than 2,000 kilometers away in Shanghai, Song Chunhua returned to her office after two classes in the morning and sat in a chair in a daze.
It has only been two months since the start of the school year, but seven or eight students in her class have stopped coming to class one after another. The remaining students are also restless, and there are few students who are calm and listen to the class seriously.
She was also in a panic and anxious mood. It had been more than a month since she received the notice from the labor camp and learned the bad news that Han Yabo might be in a bad condition. During this period of time, she had not received any news about her husband.
This made her scared and nervous. She looked forward to receiving news from there, but was also afraid that the next news she would receive would be news of her husband's death. So she was completely unable to remain calm and was so anxious that she couldn't sleep all night long, and her hair fell out in clumps.
There were a few other teachers in the office. After class, they gathered together to discuss topics such as how many students were missing from each class and which teacher outside had been posted with big-character posters.
Seeing Song Chunhua sitting at her desk without saying a word, a female teacher immediately said sourly:
"Teacher Song, you definitely don't have to be afraid. With such an outstanding student like Ye Qing serving as your amulet, you can rest assured now."
The female teacher was talking about how Ye Qing had been featured in the Jicheng Daily not long ago and had mentioned his mentor Song Chunhua in the newspaper.
Before Ye Qing went to the countryside to work as a sent-down youth, Song Chunhua had always been criticized in the school. Not only did the students dislike her, but most of the teachers in the office also discriminated against her.
Because she has a serious and direct personality and is not very likable, and ever since Han Yabo's accident, she has been fighting alone in the center of the storm, so the years she has been teaching in this middle school have been quite difficult.
But no one would have expected that not long ago, a student sent out from Song Chunhua's class actually caused a big incident on the way to the Great Northern Wilderness, catching thieves and rescuing hostages from criminals, and even got herself reported in the Jicheng Daily.
The key point is that this news report not only gave the student a huge sub-page feature, but also specifically mentioned Song Chunhua, a teacher at Shencheng No. 16 Middle School, in the article.
Even though it was just a few words, it was a great honor for No. 16 Middle School and Song Chunhua, who had never been featured in such a big newspaper.
Because of this incident, a reporter from a newspaper in Shanghai came to her specifically, wanting to do an in-depth interview on Ye Qing's affairs. However, the reporter's questions were tricky, and Song Chunhua was not stupid, so she only gave rough answers that she could, and she deliberately avoided the several traps that the reporter set.
After waiting for another week, he still didn't see the so-called in-depth interview report published. Song Chunhua heaved a sigh of relief, probably because the manuscript was not good and was killed by the higher-ups.
However, because of the incident in the newspaper, Song Chunhua really became a hot commodity in No. 16 Middle School overnight. Even the Education Bureau specially arranged for leaders to come down for a visit and condolence inspection. They highly praised Song Chunhua, the class teacher who taught Ye Qing, a heroine.
Song Chunhua, who had been registered with the Education Bureau, saw her status rise rapidly. None of her colleagues talked about her and Han Yabo anymore, and she even began to accumulate some reputation among the students.
While other teachers were trembling with fear of being labeled as "stinking ninth" by students, only Song Chunhua, with the amulet of official media, could continue to stick to her post with peace of mind, without having to worry about being harassed by anyone.
Perhaps seeing how Song Chunhua had gotten so much easily with just a piece of inexplicable news report, some people in the office were jealous, so they would tattoo a few words about Song Chunhua whenever they had nothing to do. The sour remarks were not painful or itchy, but they were very annoying.
Song Chunhua was feeling depressed, and was immediately irritated by the female teacher's weird tone, and was about to retort.
Just as she was about to open her mouth, the old man at the school gate hurried in with a telegram in his hand:
"Teacher Song, the post office just delivered a telegram from the Great Northern Wilderness. It was sent to you by your student Ye Qing!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole office fell silent instantly.
Everyone looked at Song Chunhua and the weird female teacher.
Although Song Chunhua was a little confused about why Ye Qing sent the telegram, her expression remained calm.
Because she had just received a letter from Ye Qing assuring her safety not long ago, she knew that Ye Qing was doing well in Kaoshantun. In addition, Ye Qing had just been featured in major newspapers such as Jicheng Daily not long ago, so Song Chunhua did not think that Ye Qing's telegram would be a bad thing.
However, the female teacher who had just dissed Song Chunhua in a weird tone probably didn't expect that Ye Qing's telegram would be delivered at this time. Her expression turned pale and blue, and she was a little embarrassed for a while.
However, when Song Chunhua took the telegram from the security guard and read the content clearly, she was shocked and her hands began to tremble unconsciously. She subconsciously covered her mouth and was so excited that she forgot to breathe for a while.
"What's wrong, Teacher Song? Did something happen?"
Seeing that Song Chunhua was in a bad mood, a nosy teacher immediately came over.
Song Chunhua became alert instantly and quickly put away the telegram.
However, the man had sharp eyes and caught the words on the telegram in one glance.
Unfortunately, Ye Qing had coded the contents of the telegram. Although the man could recognize the words "Red Fuji Comrade" individually, he could not understand what they meant when they were put together.
Song Chunhua no longer cared about the open and covert conflicts between the teachers in the office. After receiving this telegram, Song Chunhua had only one thought in her mind: to go to the Great Northern Wilderness. She wanted to go to the Great Northern Wilderness!
Ye Qing didn't know yet that the telegram message she brought would actually cause Song Chunhua to make an impulsive and bold decision.
After she sent the telegram and returned to the village, she was stopped by Gu Weidong who was waiting at the gate of the yard.
Seeing Ye Qing's swollen eyes, he asked with some concern:
"Are you all right?"
As soon as Ye Qing heard this, he knew he was asking about Han Yabo, and he shook his head:
"It's okay. The letter is quite optimistic. I sent you some medicine. It will be effective after a few months. You will definitely not die."
Although that is what she said, the fact that Ye Qing cried like this also indirectly shows that Dr. Han is not in a good situation in Mohe.
Gu Weidong was also thinking about this last night, but because the plan was not yet fully thought out, he was reluctant to bring it up at the moment, fearing that if it failed, Ye Qingkong would be too happy.
Seeing that Ye Qing was also in a bad mood, he suddenly asked:
"I remember you said before that you had a golden retriever?"
Ye Qing didn't know why Gu Weidong had brought up this again, and was confused:
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Gu Weidong asked tentatively:
"Have you ever considered getting another pet? Like, a coyote?"
Ye Qing almost choked on his spit of water: "Huh?"
Did she hear it right? What to raise?
Seeing Ye Qing's incredulous expression, Gu Weidong couldn't help but laugh, confirming the answer Ye Qing heard:
"Yes, it was a coyote. The health station in Kaoshan Village will be built soon. In the future, all kinds of people will come to the village to seek medical advice every day. Your yard is too close to the thatched house at the end of the village. There are children and elderly people in the house. There is also a herb garden at the back. Many of the herbs in it are rare species. You can't guarantee that you won't be coveted by others."
"Too many people will attract more attention. For safety reasons, I think it would be a good idea for you to keep a wolf in your yard to guard the house."
"Another thing, didn't you say before that your golden retriever is your closest and most loyal comrade? To be honest, among dogs, golden retrievers are definitely not a breed with high combat power and obedience, otherwise they would definitely have a place among military dogs."
"But coyotes are different. They have all the advantages of excellent military dogs. If they are raised from a young age and trained properly, they can definitely become your right-hand man. For example, the horse dogs used by the army now have some coyote genes and have become the first choice for guard dogs in the army."
"After you become a barefoot doctor, you will definitely not be limited to sitting in Kaoshantun. It will definitely be inevitable that you will be invited to other production brigades to treat patients in the future. Even if you have high combat effectiveness, you will inevitably be distracted when you are alone. "If you raise a wolf as your personal bodyguard, those who want to pay attention to you will probably have to think twice."
Gu Weidong originally just saw that Ye Qing was in a bad mood and wanted to find something to divert her attention.
But after asking Ye Qing whether he was willing to raise a wolf, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this proposal was very reliable.
Firstly, the Mancang couple will give birth to a lot of cubs this time, so they will definitely not have any objection if you bring one home; secondly, Ye Qing has special abilities, so she won't have to worry about food. Not to mention raising one coyote, she can even afford to raise seven or eight.
The most important thing is that she is a city girl and works as the director of a health station in Kaoshantun, which is absolutely a popular position in the eyes of outsiders.
The other production teams did not know Ye Qing's situation as well as the villagers in Kaoshantun. They only saw that she lived a prosperous life, but did not know that when her aura was fully unleashed, several adult men could not defeat her. Such an outstanding female comrade, it was hard to guarantee that there would not be some greedy people who had bad intentions towards her.
Having a wolf by her side to protect her majestically can increase her safety factor dramatically, and those evil spirits with evil intentions will automatically stay away from her. It is definitely a good thing that will solve the problem once and for all.
Ye Qing had never thought about raising any pets in this time and space.
After all, fighting side by side with the little golden retriever in the apocalypse made it difficult for her to get over her past relationship.
But Gu Weidong reminded her with one sentence.
After the health station is completed, there will be an endless stream of people coming to Kaoshantun for medical treatment.
If she gets really busy by then, she probably won't have time to take care of her grandmother and Zou Yun who live at the end of the village.
Moreover, she had worked in a hospital for many years and knew very well how complicated human nature was. The health station would inevitably encounter all kinds of troubles and difficulties in the future.
Especially since the villagers have not even received basic education and do not even know some basic medical knowledge, let alone explaining professional knowledge and scientific principles to them. It would be difficult to explain clearly even if you shout yourself hoarse.
If she met someone who was unreasonable and irrational, there might be a conflict. It would be fine for her, but she still had to train apprentices, and she had her grandmother and Zou Yun as her weak links. It was difficult for her to take full account of their safety.
Therefore, the best solution is to put a ferocious door god there to bite anyone who dares to make trouble. In this way, those who have bad intentions will naturally feel jealous and those who cause trouble will have to restrain themselves.
Thinking of this, Ye Qing had no more hesitation and immediately asked Gu Weidong:
"It's not impossible. The problem is that if I am willing to adopt them, will Mancang agree to let me take their children away?"
Gu Weidong smiled and said, "Then let's go up the mountain and ask."
Although he said so, Gu Weidong's eyes were full of determination.
Ye Qing didn't have anything that needed to be done at the moment, so he agreed to Gu Weidong's suggestion. After the two of them packed up their things, they went straight into the mountains.
However, this time the two did not go to the cabin again. The cabin was still too far away. It would take an hour or two to walk through the woods to get there.
Ye Qing thought of the mountain stream where she fished for trout last time. She remembered that area was where the coyotes foraged for food and water. The coyote family should often be active in that area.
She also missed the taste of the trout, and since she was going into the mountains, she wanted to catch a few and bring them back for the old lady to taste.
The two of them were busy along the way and picked a lot of berries, nuts and wild mushrooms.
"Pick these wild fruits now while they are ripe. Otherwise, when it snows and freezes, you won't be able to go into the mountains to pick them."
Gu Weidong reminded Ye Qing.
Ye Qing nodded.
Last time, those black bears ate all the jam she made, and she had no more on hand, so she had to make a few more jars to replenish it, otherwise she would have nothing to eat when winter came.
Moreover, Ye Qing wanted to brew some wine with wild fruits in the mountains, and then make it into medicinal wine. He also wanted to dry some candied fruits, nuts, and dried mushrooms, and pack them into New Year's goods before the New Year. He would send a portion to Han Yabo in Mohe, as well as Song Chunhua and Chen Youde in Shencheng.
Thinking about this, Ye Qing felt that the little they collected in the mountains was not enough.
She suddenly remembered how Gu Weinan and his sister used maltose to trick the children in the village into helping them pick berries. She couldn't help but feel moved and had the idea of copying the homework.
However, this matter would have to be thought about after they got down the mountain. She and Gu Weidong came to the mountain stream, and then Ye Qing sat down, took out the fishing gear and started fishing.
Gu Weidong raised his thumb and index finger and placed them on the corners of his mouth, and blew a clear and loud whistle, which he blew several times before stopping.
It took Ye Qing just a few minutes to prepare the fishing gear and throw the fishing line out. Before the first trout took the bait, a sturdy, silver-grey figure rushed out of the woods.
Rushing to the side of the mountain stream and seeing Gu Weidong and Ye Qing, Mancang immediately raised his neck and howled excitedly like a wolf, wagging his tail and rubbing between Ye Qing and Gu Weidong, his tail almost leaving a shadow.
After a while, there was movement in the woods again. Mancang's wife and the other coyotes in her pack came together.
At the feet of his wife, five coyote cubs were clinging to the mother wolf's side, baring their teeth and biting each other or punching each other fiercely from time to time, rolling in a ball in the forest full of pine needles and fallen leaves.
Seeing how good the relationship between the mother wolf and her child was, Ye Qingdun felt embarrassed to speak.
After all, if she wanted to take the child away, she would have to separate the mother and the child. Ye Qing had no idea whether this behavior would make the mother wolf feel sad.
However, what Ye Qing did not expect was that when she was hesitating, Gu Weidong took the initiative to discuss with Mancang. It was unknown how that guy made Mancang understand their intention of going into the mountains this time.
In short, after Mancang knew that Ye Qing wanted to adopt his children, the coyote king turned around and howled at the mother wolf a few times. The mother wolf did not hesitate at all, and directly picked up the two wolf cubs at her side and brought them directly to Ye Qing.
The wolf cubs didn't understand what was going on, so they turned around and chased after the mother wolf. However, the mother wolf was extremely calm, and used her head to push the two cubs over, directly to Ye Qing's feet.
Two, two?
Seeing this bizarre scene, Ye Qing was stunned and looked at the Mancang couple in disbelief.
She originally thought that getting the mother wolf to abandon her cubs would be a very difficult process, and she even imagined many heart-wrenching life-and-death separation scenes in her mind while climbing the mountain, and she had done all kinds of psychological preparation.
Ye Qing had thought it through. If the coyote couple did not agree, she would have to come up with some compensation conditions to convince the couple, and she was mentally prepared to cede land and pay compensation.
But she never expected that none of her previous negotiation conditions would be used.
This coyote couple is more cruel than the other. The father, Mancang, looks cold and ruthless, while the mother is quick, accurate and extremely decisive. She threw the two children out with a crisp and skillful movement, as if she was throwing away two hot potatoes.
If Ye Qing had not witnessed with her own eyes the couple fighting a fierce battle with a black bear for these cubs, she would have doubted whether these two wolf cubs were their biological children.
This is why Gu Weidong was certain that this could be accomplished before he went into the mountains.
Perhaps because he could see that Ye Qing was full of confusion, he couldn't help but explain with a smile:
"This is normal. No matter how human-like a coyote is, it is still an animal. Wolves are good at fighting. There can only be one leader in a pack. But Mancang's cubs will grow up quickly. By the time these children reach adulthood, Mancang will still be in his prime."
"By then, the children in the warehouse will no longer be just children to it, but will also be the biggest threat to it in this tribe."
"So it must drive away any child that may threaten its leadership position before they are fully grown. Otherwise, when the children grow up, they will become enemies and fight to the death for leadership. The coyote that loses the battle will be abandoned and driven away by the group, wandering outside until it dies alone."
"The weak will be preyed upon by the strong. This is the law of survival in nature."
"The couple's choice was actually a long-term consideration and plan for the future development of the tribe. So if I'm not mistaken, the two wolves sent by the female wolf should be male wolves that may threaten the status of the pack in the future."
Ye Qing hurriedly picked up the two coyote cubs at his feet and examined them one by one.
When she saw this, she was stunned.
Gu Weidong was right, they are truly a pair of wolf cubs!
"However, the male wolf ordered the female wolf to send her cubs in order to maintain his dominance in the tribe. The female wolf is different."
"The maternal instinct is to protect its children."
"It gave birth to too many cubs this time. Five cubs is very stressful for the mother wolf. If she really keeps all the cubs with her, they will not be able to find food on their own in winter. If they encounter any danger, if the mother wolf cannot take care of the cubs, and the cubs cannot take care of themselves, then it is very likely that none of them will survive."
"So if you don't come to her for her cubs, before the heavy snow comes, the mother wolf will probably have to make a trade-off and decision, and be ruthless enough to abandon one or two of her weaker cubs. For the continued healthy development of the group, she must and can only do this to minimize the loss."
"Now that you've appeared, you've actually solved a big problem for it, so it can't wait to send its child to you, because it regards you as its master and has great trust in you, and feels that sending the child to you will definitely get the best care and protection."
Ye Qing was extremely surprised. She had never expected that there were such cruel and profound laws of survival in the wild wolf jungle hidden here. But after thinking about it carefully, she had to admit that Gu Weidong's analysis should be correct.
Originally, she actually didn't care about the idea of adopting a coyote. It would be great if it could be done, but if the coyote couple disagreed, she wouldn't force it.
But she really didn't expect that if she didn't go up the mountain, perhaps not long after, the two coyote cubs in front of her would be cruelly abandoned in the mountains by their parents, and would have to face this unfamiliar but crisis-ridden world alone.
The trajectory of fate is so similar. The little golden retriever was abandoned by her unscrupulous roommate when the end of the world just came, and was then adopted by her.
When she thought of this, her heart couldn't help but tighten, and she subconsciously hugged the two ignorant and pitiful coyote cubs tightly in her arms.
As soon as Gu Weidong saw Ye Qing's action, he knew that Ye Qing must have made a decision.
Yes, Ye Qing was not the type of person who would drag her feet and be indecisive. Since the coyote couple had agreed, she would definitely take both coyote cubs away.
Taking the two cubs away was a negative thing for the mother wolf, but for herself, it only took a few months for the coyote cubs to grow up a little, and the yard, the elderly and the children at home would have an extra layer of safety. This result was the best solution for both parties.
However, since the mother wolf chose to trust her, Ye Qing must not let the mother wolf down.
So she repeatedly assured the mother wolf that she would raise her cub well and would never treat it unfairly.
It was not known whether the mother wolf understood what she said. It raised its head and let out a long howl. Its eyes fell on the two cubs for several seconds. Then it turned around and disappeared into the jungle with the other three cubs and other coyotes.
After successfully bringing back two coyote cubs, Ye Qing did not rush down the mountain, but continued fishing. He only put away his rod after catching a dozen small salmon.
This time, there was finally no thief watching and trying to steal her fish. Ye Qing stuffed the fish and the two coyote cubs into the basket. Gu Weidong's basket was also full of fruits and wild mushrooms that he had picked. The two of them then slowly hurried down the mountain.
After the two coyote cubs were brought home, they adapted very quickly. It might be because Ye Qing secretly used his supernatural powers to comb their bodies. The two cubs did not have any sickly or timid transition period when they came to the new environment. They immediately ran around in the yard and had a lot of fun chasing chickens and rabbits.
When brother and sister Meng Jia and Gu Weinan heard that Ye Qing had brought back two coyote cubs, they immediately ran to the Zou family yard to see what was going on.
The three of them had all seen how ferocious and powerful coyotes become when they grow up, but now when they suddenly saw these harmless little wolf cubs, they were instantly overwhelmed by the cute and ignorant looks of the two little guys.
"Ahhh, it's so cute. It makes me want to get one. Isn't this a puppy?"
"You can't even walk steadily with your short legs, and your teeth aren't sharp yet, but you want to catch chickens and rabbits. Aren't you overestimating yourself?"
"Master, have you named them yet? What are they called?"
Ye Qing was stunned for a moment. Gu Weinan's question really stumped her.
Name? She really hadn't thought of this yet, and she wasn't really good at naming. She couldn't call them Big Mao or Little Mao, right?
She couldn't help but look towards Gu Weidong, wanting to ask for his opinion.
Gu Weidong thought for a moment and asked tentatively:
"How about Dawn or Dawn?"
Ye Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he instantly understood the meaning of the name Gu Weidong had chosen. He immediately nodded heavily and said:
"Let's call you this, Ye Liming, Ye Shuguang, this is your name from now on!"
Seeing that Ye Qing actually added his own surname in front of these two names, both the rural natives Gu Weinan and his sister, as well as Meng Jia who came from the city, were shocked and couldn't understand.
Ye Qing chuckled and didn't explain further.
This is mainly a problem of concepts. There has been a generation gap of dozens or even hundreds of years between her and these people, and it cannot be explained.
After all, in the minds of people of this era, giving animals a name is to facilitate domestication, but giving them one's own surname, isn't that crazy?
But they don't know that after a few decades of development, people's material conditions are getting better and better, and raising pets is like their own family members and children, and it is very normal for them to have their own surnames.
Ye Qing has now become a weather vane in Kaoshan Village. All the villagers in the village pay attention to her movements, so the news that she brought back two coyote cubs spread quickly.
The first to respond this time were not the aunties and grandmothers in the village, but the group of furry children who ran around on the beach, on the hills behind the village, and in the farmlands every day.
For the kids in the village, there is probably nothing cooler than raising wolves, not to mention that Ye Qing raised two at once.
