Chapter 237 The little snow wolf cub was caught by the villagers
At that moment, Xia Juanjuan and Lin Yuru held the triplets and went to see with other villagers.
I saw several strong men from the village coming down the mountain carrying backpacks.
Seeing the children and other villagers gathering around, the few people proudly put down the backpack and showed them the wolf cubs inside.
There were three of them in total, and the little cubs were frightened and bared their teeth, making threatening noises at the villagers who were watching.
Xia Juanjuan often goes deep into the mountains, so she occasionally encounters snow wolves. She can't quite recognize them, but wolves are a group with a strong sense of territory, so it is unlikely that they are wolf cubs from other groups.
The three wolf cubs recognized Xia Juanjuan by her smell. When they saw her coming, they turned their grinning faces and looked at her. Their big eyes were tearful and they made aggrieved sounds like puppies.
Xia Juanjuan felt a little reluctant, but she couldn't just save them in front of so many people.
Yanyan and Yeye, who were originally being held by Xia Juanjuan, grabbed Xia Juanjuan's hand anxiously, pointing at the wolf cubs with their little fingers, wanting to go over and take a look, while saying in a baby voice: "Little puppies! Little puppies!"
Xia Juanjuan had no choice but to move forward to let them get closer to see.
The villagers all laughed and started discussing.
"Da Xi, these three wolf cubs are quite fat. Shall we cook wolf meat for dinner tonight? Would you mind serving a bowl to your uncle?"
"Uncle San, you are taking advantage of me. You are five generations apart, and you still have Uncle San? Sanshun, I am your uncle. You can't not give this meat soup to your uncle, right?"
"Ah, it's pitiful to see these three little creatures. They probably ran outside to look for food and were caught by you. Daxi, Sanshun, auntie, you should let them go. There are wolves in our mountain. Everyone knows that wolves are not like other wild animals. They are all spiritual. For so many years, these wolves have never come down the mountain to harm the poultry and livestock raised by our farmers, let alone people. You caught the wolf cubs and brought them back to the village for no reason. The old wolf followed the smell of the wolf cubs and came here to harm our village!"
These words made everyone feel a little uneasy.
"How about we tell Aunt Li, Daxi, Sanshun, you should release the wolf cubs. Otherwise, what will we do if the old wolf comes?"
Daxi, Sanshun and several others were full of vigor and did not take it seriously. They laughed and said, "Auntie Li, Sister Wang, you are too timid! What is there to be afraid of the old wolf? We injured the old wolf and it ran away, so we caught these little wolf cubs! We were afraid that the big wolf would not come! Just wait and see! We plan to use these wolf cubs as bait to lure the big wolf over! When the time comes, Third Uncle, dear uncle, we will definitely treat you to wolf meat soup!"
After hearing these words, Xia Juanjuan couldn't help but frown.
She agreed with what Aunt Li said just now.
Apart from other things, when she rescued those wolf cubs two years ago, the big snow wolf might really be just a lone wolf. But now two years have passed, those wolf cubs have grown up, and the three little wolf cubs now are probably the children of one of them.
They wanted to set a trap to catch wolves, thinking that they might attract only one wolf, but... it was very likely that they would attract a pack of wolves!
Thinking of this, Xia Juanjuan couldn't help but speak up: "Brother Daxi, Brother Sanshun, my little cub likes these wolf cubs. Can you sell them to me? I'll give you five dollars for each one."
After hearing this, several people were moved.
Five dollars for one, three is fifteen. If they divide it among five people, each person can get three dollars, which can buy more than three pounds of meat, which is no less than the meat of this little wolf cub!
But they looked at each other and still couldn't bear to give up the wolf they had injured. That was at least several kilograms of meat! In the end, they shook their heads and refused.
Xia Juanjuan was at a loss for a moment.
If she raised the price, even if she rescued the three wolf cubs today, other villagers would risk their lives to catch them and sell them tomorrow. She never underestimated people's greed.
So I have to think of other ways.
The little snow wolves seemed to realize that Xia Juanjuan could not save them, and they all howled sadly.
At that moment, Daxi and Sanshun began to set a trap. They tied the three wolf cubs to a tree stake and dug deep pits around them. They filled the pits with thorny branches of acacia trees and covered them with wild grass and snow. If they stepped on empty space, they would be unable to escape.
There were a few people watching the trap, so they couldn't do anything about it.
Xia Juanjuan took the children home, then went into the house, closed the door, and teleported directly into the mountains through space.
No one knew if it was because she had touched those little wolf cubs during the day and so her scent was on them, or what, but after a while, five or six huge snow wolves approached her. One of them had a long scar on its side from being cut by a knife, and its beautiful silver fur was stained with scarlet blood.
Seeing so many big snow wolves at once, Xia Juanjuan felt a little scared and couldn't help but take a step back.
Just as she expected, the lone wolf from two years ago has now become a wolf pack.
As if they could see her fear, the other wolves stopped and did not move forward. Only the injured snow wolf limped over and approached Xia Juanjuan gently.
Xia Juanjuan then raised her hand and tentatively stroked its fur. The snow wolf responded docilely without resistance.
Xia Juanjuan knew that they still remembered her and would not hurt her.
She quickly got some spiritual spring water from the space and used it to clean the snow wolf's wounds.
The snow wolf also lay down obediently, allowing Xia Juanjuan to manipulate it.
The healing effect of the spiritual spring water was immediate, and the wound that had been bleeding stopped bleeding immediately.
Xia Juanjuan applied Yunnan Baiyao on the wound again.
However, she knew that the wolf would definitely go down the mountain to save its children, so she did not bandage it separately, otherwise other villagers would definitely become suspicious.
After treating the wound, Xia Juanjuan looked at the snow wolves again, sighed, and said softly: "I know you must all be spiritual, otherwise you wouldn't let me get close without hurting me. There are traps at the foot of the mountain, and you will definitely get hurt if you go over. But if you promise not to hurt anyone, I will help you rescue the child."
Xia Juanjuan was not sure whether they could understand, so she drew a diagram of the traps they set in the village on the ground, hoping that they could understand and not fall into the traps.
Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for both the humans and the wolves to suffer no casualties!
