Chapter 11 Taming a Wolf
Lu Yuan thought about it again and again and decided not to drive away the wolf that followed him.
He was so lonely that he had been talking to himself for three days.
In fact, there were many times when he was too lazy to speak.
But I had to talk to myself.
Because there is an indescribable numbness that is creeping up on my heart bit by bit.
How can I describe this numb feeling... It's like walking into a dead end. I can't help but give up on myself. I feel like I can't live at all and my future is full of difficulties. It's as if a thick darkness has surrounded my body and strangled my throat.
Unimaginable decadence and panic surged into his heart like a tide. Even though Lu Yuan had tried his best to control his emotions, human willpower was too limited compared to the cruel reality.
He was so lonely. No one could understand this kind of loneliness like the mountains and the sea.
How to relieve worries?
Only... a girl! Lu Yuan thought that if a cute girl fell from the sky, he might not feel lonely anymore.
But girls only exist in fantasy. Nowadays, raising a dog has become the best choice. At least you have someone to talk to and you can find something to do.
"Well, that's it... If you want to be a dog, I'll give you a chance."
He did not drive away the wolf that followed him.
After returning to the familiar shelter, Lu Yuan placed all the spoils and started a fire.
"Crackle!" The blazing fire makes people feel very comfortable.
Reinforced concrete houses also bring a sufficient sense of security.
Lu Yuan didn't close the door.
The wolf was wandering outside the door and didn't dare to come in.
Use an axe to chop off the fish head and start making fish soup.
The fish was filleted and grilled on the iron plate. This was pure wild fish, and the rich aroma of fish meat gradually spread.
Now the old wolf became anxious, and kept calling out outside the door in a low voice that was a little sharp, begging for a bite of food.
It didn't dare to enter the shelter, it just kept wagging its tail, looking very pitiful.
Lu Yuan ignored it for the time being.
Wolves are creatures with a hierarchy. Wolves of higher ranks have privileges, like the right to mate, the right to eat first, the right to teach subordinates a lesson, and so on.
As a superior, he had to eat his fill first before he could give alms to this guy.
Otherwise the levels will be reversed and you will suffer in the future.
There are many dogs that guard their food, are disobedient, bark at people, and even bite people. This is due to the inverted concept of hierarchy.
These dogs regard themselves as leaders and humans as subordinates.
Lu Yuan only has one life, and in this environment, a reversal of ranks could be fatal, so he has no choice but to be careful.
Soon, gurgling bubbles appeared in the tin box, and the fish soup slowly turned milky white, exuding a rich aroma.
Add a few pieces of wild vegetables and it will be even more delicious.
As for the grilled fish, it was also cooked. Its skin had been carefully grilled, showing an attractive brown color and a slight oily sheen, making it look particularly tempting.
Lu Yuan sniffed it lightly and tore it with his teeth, revealing the tender and juicy inside of the fish, which exuded a mouth-watering aroma.
The fish meat is fresh and delicate, with a full taste. It has the crispness of being roasted, yet tender and smooth, leaving you with an endless aftertaste.
"It has a strong gamey flavor, but it lacks some seasoning, so it's a bit fishy..." Lu Yuan sighed softly, "Let's look for it in the ruins tomorrow. As long as there's salt, it'll be fine. There shouldn't be no salt in such a large ruin."
"Plants that can remove the smell should also be found."
Then he began to condemn his greedy behavior.
I ate a spider leg a few days ago and I was so satisfied that I was smiling from ear to ear and felt extremely happy.
I ate grilled fish and boiled fish today, but I still complained that the taste was not rich enough.
Human beings are such insatiable creatures. The pursuit of a better life may be the driving force behind human progress...
If he found the seasoning, what would he want?
I dare not think about it, and I can’t think about it anymore.
After enjoying the meal, Lu Yuan put the leftovers into a box.
He specially cooked two fish and served them to the old wolf who was drooling.
This guy was very smart. He seemed to have accepted his low status and did not fight or argue. He shouted a few words at first and then just watched silently outside the door.
It sniffed the warm stuff in the basin and looked at Lu Yuan again, as if a little confused.
The one eye narrowed twice.
Is this something a wolf can eat? Why does it feel like a bowl of swill? I want to eat something good and delicious!
"It's up to you whether you want to eat it or not. If not, get lost." Lu Yuan sneered, "There are so many animals in the world, is it possible that I can't find a pet?"
It struggled for a long time, but finally gave in and tried to lick it a few times.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The next second, the one-eyed creature showed a look of shock. Awooo, what is this...it actually tastes good? So he started to eat it voraciously, and soon he had finished the whole basin of slop, and burped happily.
So cool!
God knows why a wolf has such rich expressions.
And easier to satisfy than Lu Yuan.
The tail that had been drooping down began to wag again.
"You are a human, right? Let me touch you, or get out!"
It was still a little wary and kept sniffing Lu Yuan's hand as it approached.
Lu Yuan tried to move as slowly as possible, muttering, "Don't bite me, or I'll just be stewed with dog meat."
Finally, I succeeded in stroking its furry head. To be honest, it was a bit prickly and a little smelly.
It endured.
It is accepted by default.
Wait, can you please stop touching me with your dirty hands?
The old wolf's one-eyed face was a little surprised. How could it feel good to be stroked?
So it enjoyed it more and more, becoming more and more like a dog...
…
Just like that, the arrival of an old wolf made Lu Yuan feel the fun of life.
Even if this thing has some use other than eating and shitting, it's not completely useless.
After all, it is a living being, and it is very interesting to train it. Lu Yuan feels like a normal human being.
In just one week, Lu Yuan not only stroked its head, but also touched the hair on its butt. The tail was really prickly, like a hard palm leaf, and it was not very comfortable to stroke it.
Only the hair on the belly was barely soft.
By the way, I caught a few lice for it. I tapped them gently with my fingernails and the lice made a "click" sound, which was very relaxing.
"Awoo!" The old wolf looked uncomfortable, his nose wrinkled, and he barked fiercely.
Please, I am a wolf. Do you know that wolves are inviolable? You still touch me! Why do you still touch me?! I will be an ungrateful wolf today!
"Awoo, awoo, awoo." The old wolf was a little restless and made threatening sounds in his throat.
Lu Yuan patted its head even more fiercely and took out a small fish: "Kneel down!"
When the old wolf saw the little fish, he immediately squatted on the ground with a flattering look on his face.
