"What? A little wolf? What's a little wolf doing at my house?" Grandma Yan's heart skipped a beat. Wolves, what a terrifying creature they are.
Yan Xiaoqiang shook his head. "How would I know?" He glanced at his daughter and said, "Mom, why don't we wake Nannan up? Maybe she'll know."
Grandma Yan thought for a moment and then nodded. It was almost lunchtime, and the little girl should get up and eat.
"Nannan, Nannan, my sweet baby, wake up, it's time to eat!" Grandma Yan called softly. She didn't wake up the first time, nor the second. Yan Xiaoqiang grew anxious. Could something have happened? He tried to push Yan Xiaonan, but she still wouldn't wake up.
Grandma Yan stopped Yan Xiaoqiang: "Stop yelling, I know. All the fish today were brought by Nan Nan, and so was the little wolf outside. The little girl has used up her magic power and needs to rest."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaoqiang realized that his daughter would fall into a deep sleep whenever she made a little noise, sometimes for a whole night, and sometimes for as long as two days. His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, suddenly sank into his stomach, and he turned and walked out.
I need to get some food for the wolf cub, and also make it a doghouse—no, a wolfhouse. Where should I put it? Next to the chicken coop? No, no, what if the hen gets so scared she stops laying eggs? My eyes darted around, and when they landed in the southeast, I paused for a moment. Why is this silly boy still sitting on the ground?
He walked over, pulled her up, and said, "Your grandma said it's okay, the little wolf is here to protect your sister."
If Yan Dongnan said this outside, he would definitely be seen as crazy, but he was truly relieved. So it was to protect his sister. Although he didn't know what skills Nan Nan had, the rice, flour and wild boar at home were definitely all thanks to his sister. Today's fish should be too.
The two began discussing where to build the wolf den. Yan Dongnan pointed to a corner near the threshold of the main room and said, "Let's build it there."
Yan Xiaoqiang took one look and thought the place was good. It was right under the window outside the main room, where the old bachelor had lit the incense. He decided to get to work right away. The two of them were about to go out to find wood when Cuihua called them back. The food was ready.
Yan Xiaoqiang hurriedly went into the kitchen, found a large bowl, put the cornmeal porridge and fish in the bowl, and took it out. Cuihua felt strange, wondering who was going to eat so much food, and quickly followed behind.
Yan Xiaoqiang placed the bowl in front of the little wolf: "Little guy, welcome to my home. This is your first meal here. Eat and drink well." The little wolf seemed to understand, and it stretched out its mouth and began to eat with gusto.
Cuihua was furious. All the food she had painstakingly cooked had gone untouched by anyone and ended up in a dog's stomach. Just as she was about to explode in anger, Yan Xiaoqiang whispered in her ear, "Nannan has fainted again. This little wolf is here to protect Nannan."
Cuihua immediately forgot about the porridge and fish and ran straight to Grandma Yan's room. When she saw Nannan sleeping peacefully on the kang (a heated brick bed), Cuihua couldn't stop her tears from flowing. Her poor daughter always fainted after doing good deeds. It was so pitiful.
With teary eyes, she said to Grandma Yan, "Mother, please tell Nan Nan not to use magic anymore. I'm worried."
Grandma Yan nodded solemnly, agreeing with her own thoughts. The whole family was capable of doing everything, and they all relied on her precious child. She was determined to forbid Nan Nan from using magic anymore.
Nan Nan's coma worried Southwest, North Nan, and Xue Mei. They felt that this was a congenital weakness that Nan Nan had from birth, and that they should make sure to provide her with proper nutrition in the future.
Bei Nan even grabbed the little wolf and said, "Grandma, why don't we kill this dog and stew it for Nan Nan?"
The little wolf opened its mouth to bite Bei Nan, but Bei Nan grabbed its neck, leaving it unable to bite. However, the hatred between them was now sealed. Looking at the little wolf baring its teeth, Dong Nan looked at Bei Nan with pity. This hothead would eventually fall victim to this wolf.
Grandma Yan, Cuihua, and Yan Xiaoqiang shared the same thought. Yan Xiaoqiang quickly went up and picked up the wolf cub, stroking its fur and flattering it until it finally calmed down. Southwest watched this scene quietly, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Yan Xiaonan woke up in the middle of the night because she was hungry. Grandma Yan and Cuihua were still awake. When they saw that Nannan was awake, they quickly checked to see if anything was wrong. When they learned that Nannan was hungry, they quickly brought up the white rice porridge that was simmering on the stove, sprinkled with white sugar. The little girl loved sweet porridge the most.
The wolf cub was whimpering softly outside. Yan Xiaonan remembered the wolf cub she had seen in her mind and quickly asked her grandmother to bring it in. When Yan Xiaoqiang heard that Nannan hadn't even seen the wolf cub yet, he knew it was a wolf cub and became even more certain.
She ran out excitedly and brought the wolf cub back in. Nan Nan's eyes met the little wolf's eyes, and she already knew the gist of the matter: the alpha wolf, the cub's father, had sent his son to follow him and protect him.
But why? He didn't know, and neither did the little wolf. Yan Xiaonan felt that his transmigration was too tiring. Everyone else had a space with countless resources that they could take out with just a reach.
She has to work hard farming and hunting, and she still gets robbed and harmed. If her superpower is overdrawn, she will faint. If she faints when she encounters danger, wouldn't that be even more dangerous? This superpower is really too fragile.
The thought of her delicate frailty made Yan Xiaonan sleepy again. "Never mind," she thought, "I'll stop thinking about it and go to sleep." Yan Xiaonan closed her eyes. Grandma Yan felt so sorry for her poor granddaughter.
The little wolf broke free from Yan Xiaoqiang's embrace, jumped to the ground, and lay down next to Yan Xiaonan's kang (heated brick bed). Judging from this posture, it was going to protect him closely. Yan Xiaoqiang felt even more at ease. With the little wolf at home, there was absolutely no problem with safety.
Yan slept soundly through the night, thanks to the arrival of the little wolf. Xue Mei, always the diligent young mistress, was the first to wake up. When she opened the door to the main room, she exclaimed in surprise, waking up Cui Hua and the others.
Grandma Yan was the first to run out, sighing inwardly. These were truly troublesome times. But when she saw what was on the ground, all her sighs vanished. There were five fat rabbits lying side by side on the ground, each with obvious teeth marks. Seeing these teeth marks, she knew that they had been killed by wolves.
Southeast couldn't help but shudder. Images of wolves hunting rabbits flashed before his eyes, killing them instantly and then dragging them here. He quickly and carefully checked the gate to the yard; it hadn't been disturbed at all. However, the yard wall wasn't very high, so the wolves must have jumped in from this side. Oh dear, how dangerous!
Cuihua's voice came from the side: "Mom, these must be Little Wolf's parents bringing him food."
