Chapter 73 Inviting a Wolf into the House
Because the big dog lived in the dark room, the little dog, the little melon, and the four puppies all lived in the basement.
Normally, after dark is when they go out to play and roam freely in the yard.
But today I really don't dare let them go out anymore.
Close all the doors and windows, and let the little plants move around inside the house.
Xiao Gua approached the door several times, signaling for me to open it, but I refused each time.
So for the next three days, except for going out to water the vegetables when the sun was just about to set in the afternoon, neither the dog nor the person went out.
Since I can't go out, I stay home and play with the dogs to burn off some energy.
The simplest one is a search game.
They threw the ugly doll I sewed far away, and then the dogs had a race; the fastest one brought the doll back to me.
Besides the little ground squash and four puppies, the big dog and two puppies also participated in the event.
However, they were just participating as a friend. The two puppies were too small to run around, while the big dog sat obediently next to me.
Watch as Xiaodi and Xiaogua fight over toys, and watch as the four puppies stumble and fall.
Seeing my little brother Xiaogua having so much fun made me feel great too.
When I'm particularly happy, I pat the big dog's head, and I can tell the big dog is happy too.
But for some reason, it never seems to wag its tail.
Even though you can see stars of joy in its eyes, it never wags its tail, and its tail hangs down when it walks.
They resemble wolves somewhat; I suppose all wild dogs are like that.
But it doesn't matter, I don't need them to fawn over me.
I'm still more concerned about the issue of wild animals.
For the past three days, I've brought binoculars with me while watering the vegetables to carefully observe my surroundings.
However, no trace of any wild animals was found.
I started to wonder if I was seeing things, since I hadn't noticed anything for so long.
Moreover, the period of extreme cold has just passed, so the probability of encountering wild animals is not high.
On the fourth day, I dared not let my guard down and still went out to water the vegetables when the sun was about to set. When I came back, I was covered in sweat.
My life is more important than whether it's hot or not.
As usual, the big dog went outside to relieve itself at night.
It seemed very impatient today, insisting on going to the toilet outside.
If I don't open the gate, it gets anxious and paces back and forth in the yard.
Perhaps it's just not used to using the toilet in the yard.
Four days have passed without any trace of wild animals. Perhaps the animal was just passing by and has already left, or perhaps there was no wild animal at all, and I was just seeing things.
Hiding it wasn't a solution, so I mustered up my courage and opened the door to let the big dog go out to relieve itself.
I stood beside it, holding the stun gun tightly in my hand.
The big dog went to the toilet without incident, and when I scanned the surroundings with my flashlight, I didn't see any green eyes.
I felt much more relaxed when I got home. Perhaps it's true, as I thought, that there really are no wild beasts.
I felt safe again and slept very well for the first half of the night.
In the latter half of the night, I heard wolves howling in my dream, as if they were coming from a very distant direction.
After a while, I heard wolves howling in my ears.
Ear?
I woke up from the dream immediately, wondering why I would have such a terrible dream. Maybe it's because I've been thinking about it during the day and at night lately.
Just as I was about to go back to sleep, I heard a wolf howling from the ground.
Holy crap! A wolf got into the house?
I was so scared that I jumped high off the kang (a heated brick bed) and quickly groped for the light switch.
After my eyes adjusted to the bright light, I saw that there were no wolves on the ground, only a big dog and two puppies.
The big dog was also awake; it was standing on the ground.
Just then, the howling of wolves sounded outside again, and I was so frightened that I didn't know how to react.
Then the big dog stood up, tilted its head back towards the door, and let out a long "Awoo!"
Well……
I'm not stupid, so this thing on the ground is a wolf, right?
Is that correct?
Suddenly, it was as if I had deciphered some scripture, and many things became clear to me all at once.
Why doesn't it like to wag its tail? Why are the chickens at home so frightened when they see it, like quails? Why does it look like it has never eaten at home before?
It wasn't a dog after all, it was a wolf...
Having spent these days with the big dog, I've come to understand its temperament.
So I wasn't too scared at that moment, knowing it wouldn't hurt me.
As for whether that group outside will hurt me, I don't really want to know.
After all, a single attempt could mean the end of your life.
Even though I said that, the big dog kept scratching at the door of the dark room with its paws as soon as I woke up.
It seems it wants to go out.
Although I am extremely unwilling and extremely afraid, I feel that I should let it out.
Wolves are social animals, and the big dog's family must be very eager to reunite with it after searching for so long.
So, as if I had made up my mind, I resolutely opened the door to the dark room for the big dog.
The big dog was very fast; as soon as I opened a door, it would rush out.
Then I opened the room door, the windshield door, and the last one—the courtyard gate.
The gate to the courtyard opened a crack, and with a casual glance, I saw at least five pairs of eyes.
Their bright green eyes made me feel uneasy.
I turned around and ran home without looking back.
It was only a distance of five or six meters, but it felt like half a century had passed.
Once inside the windshield, I quickly locked the door, feeling as if I had just died and then come back to life.
Then, panting, he stared at the situation outside.
Actually, I couldn't see very clearly. I could only tell that the big dog was quite happy, and then it walked over to the other wolves, but I couldn't see what it did.
About ten minutes later, the big dog returned.
I thought it might never come back, but it will most likely return, since the two wolf cubs are still with me.
The big dog was clearly very happy when it came back, its tail swaying back and forth with its tail hanging halfway down.
When we got to the door of the windshield, it looked at me with bright eyes, wanting me to open the door for it.
I had mixed feelings, but I still opened the door for it.
Big Dog, oh no, we can't call it Big Dog anymore.
I realized I couldn't call it that anymore, but I really didn't want to call it Wolf... so I'll just call it Sangbiao.
After all, we can't let it lose face if it returns to the wolf pack.
If the other wolves knew it was called something like Little Melon or Little Ground, they would probably be quite embarrassed.
After entering the house, Sang Biao went straight to the dark room as usual.
I carefully examined the crack in the gate; it seemed the wolves outside had already left.
I followed Sangbiao back to the dark room to see if it would go out again.
If it comes back just to take the two babies with it, I won't stop it.
Since it's gone, the wolf pack probably won't come either, so I'm safe, hehe.
However, Sang Biao showed no intention of leaving and continued sleeping on the dog mat.
My mood is a complete mess.
How did things turn out this way? I let the wolf into the house, and not only did the big wolf bring two cubs, but I also attracted a whole pack of wolves.
However, I've heard that wolves are very loyal, so I hope they'll spare my life for the sake of saving Sang Biao.
They also owe me over twenty chickens, my little brother Xiaogua, and four puppies.
