Chapter 55 Would the little white wolf be willing to live alone?

In early April, the last layer of ice and snow on the vast wetland lake melted under the sun.

The temperature gradually warmed up, and more animals went to the lake to drink water every day. On both sides of the lake, the weeds nourished by the rain were also growing wildly.

A breeze blew over, and the lake surface rippled slightly. There seemed to be a figure moving in the half-meter-high grass.

The elk drinking water by the lake suddenly raised its head. It looked around alertly, and after an unknown amount of time, it did not hear any abnormal movement.

The elk was relieved and lowered its head to drink water again.

At this moment, a white figure suddenly jumped out of the haystack.

He was so fast that he didn't even give the elk time to react. He jumped up from the back and bit its throat tightly.

The elk was startled and raised its front hooves to knock the animal off its neck.

Suddenly, two more figures appeared. They attacked from both sides and used their body weight to stop the elk's struggle.

Soon, under the siege of three wolves, the elk gradually lost its vitality.

Ye Yunian clenched his teeth and killed it completely.

Sweet blood kept gushing out of the throat. Ye Yunian took a step back and licked his tongue.

He looked up at the mulberries and oranges next to him.

Very good, no one was injured!

Today's hunt was also a great success.

Ye Yunian happily "howled" towards the sky.

Song Yi, who had been lurking far away, finally came to their side through the layers of grass curtains.

Seeing Song Yi coming, Ye Yunian stepped forward without thinking, and then tilted his head to let Song Yi see his neck.

Because of the previous hunt, the white neck was now stained with a lot of blood.

Ye Yunian's action meant to let Song Yi help him clean his hair.

Song Yi naturally lowered his head without hesitation, and after a few licks, the color of Ye Yunian's neck was restored to its original state.

Ye Yunian was very happy, and then he turned around and called Sangren and Juzi.

The time was almost up, and they had to drag the prey quickly.

Otherwise, the strong smell of blood will definitely attract other predators.

Ye Yunian is not willing to share the fruits of his labor with other animals.

The four wolves acted together and soon dragged the elk into the grass with deeper water and grass.

Although Sang Ren and Ju Zi can already hunt successfully on their own, most of their successes are still small prey.

For example, hares, foxes, and even wild boar cubs can be caught.

But in tracking and hunting large prey, the two little ones are still a little inexperienced.

So in order to cultivate the hunting ability of Sang Ren and Ju Zi, Ye Yu Nian has been leading the two little ones on hunting missions during this period.

Song Yi will not participate directly, but every time Ye Yu Nian takes his younger brothers and sisters to hunt, he will follow.

He stood at a distance, not only paying attention to the situation of Ye Yunian and the others, but also observing the safety of the surroundings.

Most of the time, Ye Yunian would kill with one strike, and at this time, Sang Ren and Ju Zi just needed to follow up with a knife.

But Ye Yunian would occasionally fail, and at this time, Song Yi was particularly important.

With this double insurance, the success rate of Ye Yunian and Sang Ren Ju Zi's hunting rose sharply.

An elk is very big, and even if four wolves eat with their bellies open, it would be difficult for them to eat all the meat in one meal.

But how could the prey left in the wild not be coveted by other animals?

So every time this happened, Ye Yunian would take out the black bag that they had not thrown away before.

If they can't finish it, they can always pack up some!

Although it was already April, the temperature near the wetland had not yet reached 20 degrees.

In this kind of weather, fresh meat can be naturally preserved for one or two days.

As long as the meat does not spoil, it can be eaten.

Ye Yunian never wastes anything.

Sang Ren and Tangerine gradually discovered the benefits of doing so, so every time they went out hunting, they would automatically pick up the bag without Ye Yunian's reminder.

The four wolves gathered together and quickly filled their stomachs.

After Ye Yunian finished eating, he lay down in the haystack next to him.

The spring sun is very warm. It is really comfortable to lie in the soft haystack and take a nap in the sun.

Ye Yunian stretched out his four legs and stretched his waist for a long time.

At this time, Song Yi walked over.

He licked his mouth, then lay down against Ye Yunian's head, and licked Ye Yunian's face with his tongue.

Ye Yunian knew that it was time for him to lick his fur!

Ye Yunian didn't even open his eyes, he just rolled on the grass, and then turned his belly towards Song Yi, changing a position that was convenient for Song Yi to lick his fur.

Song Yi didn't mind, he had known for a long time that the little white wolf liked to be lazy.

But so what?

He just liked to lick the little white wolf's fur. He

licked the blood stains on Ye Yunian's body bit by bit, and finally made the little white wolf's body full of his own smell, as if he could tell all animals: Look, the little white wolf is mine.

When Song Yi hugged Ye Yunian's head and licked it, the mulberries and oranges were finally full.

Juzi went to rummage in the haystack nearby, and quickly took out the black bag that contained their meat.

After Ye Yunian's patient instruction, Juzi and Sangren can now use their mouths to zip up the bag. Juzi unzips the bag skillfully, and Sangren puts the meat he has torn off into it.

The brother and sister didn't stop until they had filled half of the bag.

Then they looked at Ye Yunian and Song Yi.

Well, Song Yi was still licking Ye Yunian's fur.

Sangren was a little confused. His brother was so quick and powerful when hunting, so why didn't he want to lick his fur?

舔毛多簡單啊，甚至都沒有捕獵潛伏時花的時間久。

桑葚是一只很愛幹淨的小女狼，所以她最喜歡的事情就是清理自己的毛發。

而橘子看着這一幕，眼裏只有羨慕。

他也不喜歡給自己舔毛，可為了隐藏自己的氣息，在每次進食結束後，他都必須認真地把自己的毛發舔幹淨。

否則，橘子看了眼旁邊的姐姐。

哎，姐姐真的太兇了！

不就是因為上一次舔毛有點敷衍嘛，竟然按着自己揍了一頓。

看來自己以後也要找一個願意幫自己舔毛的狼！

橘子在心裏暗暗下定了決心。

就是這時，桑葚忽然仰起頭，警覺地看向一個方向，背後的毛都炸了起來。

Ye Yunian opened his eyes, and saw other predators coming.

Song Yi stood up, and Ye Yunian followed suit.

Let's go, they can't stay any longer.

After they walked far away, Ye Yunian looked back.

It was a black bear that came.

Winter is over, spring is here, and the black bears' hibernation is naturally over.

During this time, Ye Yunian saw several black bears nearby.

But because black bears always act alone, they are all four wolves, so even if they meet head-on, Ye Yunian and his friends are not afraid.

In fact, when they encounter a black bear that is not in its prime, they can try to eat it from the bear's mouth.

But Ye Yunian has never liked to clash with large predators. As long as they have filled their stomachs, Ye Yunian is willing to give up the remaining food.

After all, this is the rule of nature.

On the way back, the whole bag of meat was naturally carried in turns.

But Song Yi didn't want Ye Yunian to carry it, so when it was Ye Yunian's turn to carry the meat, Song Yi took it over every time.

The four wolves now live in a forest far away from the lake. The forests are dense and the vegetation is abundant.

And more importantly, there is a small stream nearby.

The water flow of the small stream is naturally not large, but because of the existence of this small stream, Ye Yunian and his friends don't have to go to the lake to drink water every day, which saves some unnecessary trouble.

But as the temperature gradually rises and summer officially arrives, this small stream is still cut off after more than ten days of dry weather.

The small stream with a constant flow of water finally turned into small pools one after another near the basin.

When these large and small pools of water dried up, they had to go to the lakes to drink water.

In order to avoid a long journey to drink water every day, Song Yi moved their territory a distance closer to the lake.

With the arrival of midsummer, the number of creatures near the lakes has obviously increased.

In addition to the black bears that appear regularly every day, Ye Yunian even saw a female Siberian tiger.

From a long distance, Ye Yunian could smell the menacing breath on it.

Wolves and black bears can coexist peacefully because black bears are omnivores.

In addition to eating meat, they also like to eat some berries. Although the food chain between the two overlaps, it is acceptable to both sides.

After all, as long as the black bears come quickly, they can always pick up the "leftovers" left by the wolves.

But the Siberian tiger is different.

Their diets are highly similar to those of wolves, and Siberian tigers are animals with a strong sense of territory, so any wolf pack that appears in their territory will be driven away as much as possible.

Seeing this big tiger showing up, Ye Yunian immediately felt something was wrong.

Just as he was about to let Song Yi take them to migrate, Ye Yunian suddenly smelled another scent.

It was still a Siberian tiger, but this smell was obviously not that of an adult tiger.

Ye Yunian looked towards the bushes in the distance.

There was movement in the nearly one-meter-high bushes, and soon, two figures rolled out from it.

They were tiger cubs that had just turned two months old.

The two cubs were chasing some insects together and having fun.

The female Siberian tiger seemed to have sensed the presence of other predators nearby. It lowered its head and let out a soft roar.

The two quarreling cubs immediately ran towards it.

The female Siberian tiger did not stay near the haystack for too long. It took the two cubs to the lake to drink water, and then left with the two cubs.

Ye Yunian looked at Song Yi beside him.

Song Yi raised his head and stared into the distance until the female Siberian tiger's figure completely disappeared and there was no trace of them in the air. Then Song Yi retracted his gaze.

Wolves and Siberian tigers are mortal enemies.

Siberian tigers will attack wolves, including their cubs, and wolves will also wait for opportunities to kill Siberian tiger cubs.

So after knowing that there were four wolves living nearby, the female Siberian tiger would definitely not stay.

Its fighting ability is indeed very strong. Even if Ye Yunian and his men fight four of them, they are no match for the Siberian tiger, but the Siberian tiger will not take risks with its cubs.

Ye Yunian also breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

It is really great that they don't have to give up their territory.

Ye Yunian lay down on the ground with a relaxed manner and poked Song Yi's belly with his feet.

Song Yi was not angry when he was poked, but just lowered his head and looked at Ye Yunian with helpless eyes, as if to say: What's the matter?

The weather is hot in midsummer, and the fur of the Siberian wolf is particularly thick, so Ye Yunian has been in a bad mood these days. It's

really too hot!

Seeing Song Yi looking down at him, Ye Yunian "wooooo" at him three times.

It means: If you want to take a bath, you have to go now.

Song Yi turned around and found that Ju Zi and Sang Ren, who were not far away, had woken up because of the arrival of the Northeast Tiger.

Although Ju Zi was not very smart most of the time, he learned how to survive in the dangerous wild by following Ye Yunian and Song Yi.

If the female Siberian tiger had not appeared just now, Song Yi would definitely not take Orange and Sang Ren to take a bath.

But there was no way. It was not certain whether the female Siberian tiger would come back to attack, so he could only take these two troublesome guys with him.

The four wolves soon arrived at the lake.

Song Yi looked around and made sure that there was no danger around, then he took Ye Yunian into the lake first.

When Orange saw the lake in front of him, his eyes had already become sparkling.

He wanted to take a bath this morning!

His hair was soaked by the cool lake water, and Orange was so comfortable that he couldn't help rolling in the water.

The clear lake water was instantly disturbed by him.

Ye Yunian looked at the beach of "sewage" and swam quickly to the side.

Sang Ren also looked at his brother with great disdain and moved away from him.

Ju Zisi didn't realize that he was abandoned at all. He rolled happily in the water for a long time before swimming some distance into the deeper water.

Ye Yunian watched Ju Zisi play for a while before he retracted his gaze and turned back to look for Song Yi.

But when he turned around, there was no trace of Song Yi.

Ye Yunian was stunned. Just as he was about to go ashore, he felt something surging under the water.

He lowered his head and saw Song Yi suddenly jump out of the water.

The splashing water was thrown away casually, and a lot of it splashed on Ye Yunian.

Before Ye Yunian had time to look for Song Yi's trouble, he saw Song Yi delivering a big fat fish.

There are many lakes near the wetland, large and small, too numerous to count.

Where there are many lakes, there will also be swamps.

So for safety reasons, they rarely go to those large lakes, but will move around near the lakes at the edge of the wetland.

There are no other disadvantages to the lakes at the edge. The only disadvantage is that because the lakes are relatively small, there are fewer fish in them.

But Ye Yunian is the little wolf who loves to eat fish the most.

In the spring, Ye Yunian has caught fish several times.

Although there are gains every time, the gains are very limited.

Instead of wasting time catching fish, it is better to go to the forest to catch two rabbits to eat.

Gradually, Ye Yunian rarely came to catch fish.

Unless they are really hungry, they will come here to catch a few to satisfy their cravings.

But due to the recent continuous high temperatures, the nearby small lakes have dried up a lot, so today they came to a larger lake, which is not only deep, but also has many fish!

Ye Yunian's eyes lit up when he saw the big fat fish in Song Yi's mouth.

This fish is really fat!

It looks plump and delicious.

Ye Yunian took it happily.

Sangren and Juzi's acceptance of fish is relatively average, and they just had a full meal yesterday, so the two wolves are not particularly interested in the big fat fish.

But Ye Yunian likes to eat fish, and seeing his brother eating so happily, Sangren and Juzi are also eager to try.

Wolves are born with the ability to swim.

But diving is not as easy as swimming.

Sang Ren and Ju Zi splashed around in the lake for a long time but didn't catch any fish.

After Ye Yunian ate the fish Song Yi caught for him, he saw that the two little ones still returned empty-handed. He wanted to laugh but felt helpless.

Then he spotted the school of fish that gathered around him because of the smell of blood, and he dived into the water.

Two seconds later, Ye Yunian also came out of the water with a big fat fish in his mouth.

Sang Ren and Ju Zi stared with their eyes wide open.

Why does it look so easy for their brother and Heilang to catch fish!

No, they must catch a big fat fish today!

Of course.

Facts have proved that fishing still requires talent.

After working hard for an afternoon, Sang Ren only caught one fish.

As for Ju Zi, of course, he didn't catch any.

For this reason, Sang Ren held her fish in her mouth and circled around Orange for several times.

Yes, she was laughing at Orange.

Orange was so angry with her sister, but he couldn't beat her.

He could only make up his mind secretly that he would seriously learn to catch fish from tomorrow!

The hot weather showed no signs of cooling down, so in the following period of time, every noon when it was the hottest, the four wolves would come to the lake to take a bath. Every

time they came, Song Yi would dive and catch a few big fat fish for Ye Yuanian.

Sometimes Song Yi would eat with Ye Yuanian, but more often, these fish still went into Ye Yuanian's stomach.

As for Sang Ren and Orange, of course they are still learning to catch fish.

After a period of hard work, their success rate in fishing has indeed increased a lot.

But these two picky little wolves don't like fish bones and hate fish scales. Whenever they catch a fish, they will give it to Ye Yunian first.

Ye Yunian does like to eat fish, but he can't eat only fish every day! He

will get tired of it.

At first, Ye Yunian would accept everything, but later, he wouldn't even look at mulberries and oranges.

And what was Song Yi doing during this time?

Song Yi found that the berries nearby were ripe, and he held a black bag in his mouth and collected berries for Ye Yunian.

The black berries looked sweet.

Ye Yunian's hair around his mouth was stained with a layer of powder from eating so much, but this layer of powder couldn't be washed off!

Because of this, Ye Yunian was sad for a long time.

Every morning when he woke up, he would come to the lake to check his fur. When he found that his fur had not turned back to pink, he would complain to Song Yi.

Song Yi was really regretful.

He looked at Ye Yunian with apology in his eyes.

Although he thought Ye Yunian was still very beautiful like this, the little wolf himself didn't like it.

It seems that when collecting berries for the little wolf in the future, we can't pick too many at one time.

Otherwise, the little wolf will eat happily and dye its hair again.

Fortunately, Ye Yunian's troubles did not last too long.

The summer in the north is very short.

After the continuous high temperature ended, it didn't take long for the weather to bring a hint of coolness.

The water grass by the lake was the first to turn yellow, and then the leaves in the forest fell.

As a cold wind blew through the forest, Ye Yunian's molting season ended. The pink hair fell off, and was replaced by a layer of fresh white.

Ye Yunian was very happy about this.

When he found that the last bit of pink hair near his mouth had disappeared, he circled around Song Yi several times, and even threw Song Yi to the ground, and licked Song Yi's fur with his tongue.

Song Yi was also very happy, so he personally brought mulberries and oranges that day and hunted a camel.

After a delicious meal, Ye Yunian lay down and let Song Yi help him clean his hair, and then thought about their next arrangements.

When the temperature is lower, the lakes near the wetlands will freeze.

Animals living around these large and small lakes will also begin to migrate to more suitable areas to live.

There is no doubt that the best place to survive in winter is in the forest.

But the forest in winter is naturally a dangerous jungle.

Song Yi finished licking one side of Ye Yunian's face, and Ye Yunian turned over on his belly, his eyes falling on Sang Ren and Ju Zi who were not far away.

The two little ones are already over one year old this year. After a whole spring, summer and autumn, they have grown a lot, and now their size is almost the same as Song Yi's last year.

And during this period, Sang Ren and Ju Zi's hunting ability has also improved a lot. Just a while ago, the two of them hunted a sika deer together.

Realizing that Ye Yunian was looking at him, Ju Zi turned his head first, with some doubts in his eyes, as if asking Ye Yunian again, what's wrong? Did you not eat enough? So

Ju Zi stood up, tore off a large piece of meat with his sharp teeth, and walked over with the meat in his mouth.

Ye Yunian's eyes widened as he looked at the meat that was still dripping with blood in his mouth.

Hey, wait -

before Ye Yunian could say anything, Song Yi growled first.

His tone was not particularly fierce, just a little speechless.

Ju Zi stopped when he was yelled at.

Aren't you hungry?

Then why are you looking at me?

Seeing the meat that was still dripping with blood, Song Yi gently bit Ye Yunian's neck and motioned Ye Yunian to lean back a little.

When the blood hit the little white wolf, it would instantly dye his hair red.

The pink color on the little white wolf's mouth finally disappeared. Don't come to tease your brother every day.

Of course, Ju Zi didn't understand what Song Yi was thinking. Seeing that Song Yi rejected him and his brother acquiesced, he silently went back with the meat in his mouth.

Forget it, if you don't want to eat it, I'll eat it myself!

Camel is so delicious!

Song Yi lowered his head and continued to lick Ye Yunian's fur, then looked up at Juzi's back.

The two wolves are now over one year old, and they will be two years old after this winter.

Although two-year-old wolves are not completely mature, they can already stand on their own.

After all, when he was just over one year old, he had already taken the initiative to leave the wolf pack and took in these two burdens.

Although these two burdens are sometimes cute, they sometimes interfere with the time he spends with the little white wolf.

Song Yi believes that he has the ability to live well with the little white wolf and the other two wolves.

So can he drive them both away next year?

Not far away, the oranges and mulberries were still enjoying themselves, unaware that their future had been decided by Song Yi.

Just -

Song Yi paused while licking Ye Yunian's fur.

Ye Yunian noticed Song Yi's mood, raised his head in time, blinked his beautiful and gentle eyes, as if asking: What's the matter?

Song Yi's golden pupils dodged for a moment.

He lowered his head and continued to lick Ye Yunian's fur.

Nothing.

I just don't know if the little white wolf will be willing to live with only me?

Song Yi was rarely in distress.
