Cui Wanshan took the meat and came to the wolves. He threw a piece to the mother wolf first and said with a smile, "My brother is kind and doesn't want to take your lives, but I'm worried that you are not as kind as him, so I'm going to tie you up with a rope."
But don't worry, while we're holding you captive, we'll give you food and water to ensure your survival. If you're sensible, we might even give you some bear meat.
I know you can read my eyes and know I mean you no harm, so don't resist. Otherwise, we'll have no choice but to kill you.
Looking at the meat thrown in front of them, and then at Cui Wanshan, the two wolves seemed to understand Cui Wanshan's meaning. The male wolf gently pushed the meat in front of the female wolf with his mouth, while he remained in the position of bowing his head.
"Old Wang, come here for a second and keep an eye on the mother wolf for me."
"good."
Just in case, Wang Tianxiao approached the two wolves and pointed the black muzzle of his gun at the mother wolf's head.
At such close range, and with bullets of the 5.5 or 6.5mm, if the mother wolf showed the slightest resistance, her head would be blown apart.
"I'll tie you up first, don't resist."
Cui Wanshan made a loop with the rope and gently placed it under the male wolf's neck. The male wolf seemed a little nervous the moment the rope was released; the fur on its neck stood up and its body trembled violently.
But in the end, he did nothing.
It just lay there quietly.
Watching the rope being looped around its neck.
“Good, not bad. You wait here.” Seeing that the male wolf was doing well, Cui Wanshan made another loop in the middle of the rope and slowly put it under the female wolf’s neck.
The male wolf did not resist, and the female wolf resisted even less.
She simply watched her partner quietly; if you didn't look closely, you might mistake her for a gentle dog.
The rope Cui Wanshan used was made of six strands and had been repeatedly soaked in tung oil, making it, in some ways, even stronger than iron wire. Once it was around a wolf's neck, the wolf could not break free or bite through it unless a human helped to untie it.
Two wolves were tied together by a rope. Even if they wanted to run, they couldn't move freely and would soon fall down because of their entanglement.
This is arguably the most suitable method.
"alright."
Cui Wanshan placed the meat in front of each of the two people, and then asked Wang Tianxin to put water in each of their bowls.
"Eat up. We don't have enough food for now, so this is just a small snack. Once we hunt down the bear, we'll leave some for you, and then you can eat your fill."
The two wolves watched him silently. At first, they dared not eat the meat, but seeing his kind eyes and the fact that he meant no harm, and that the meat in front of them smelled so good, they couldn't resist.
The mother wolf swallowed the meat whole.
The aroma of the pork gave her such a boost of energy that she almost hummed with joy.
The male wolf gently bit off a piece of meat, ate half of it, and pushed the other half to the female wolf.
Then he stared longingly at the mother wolf.
This act deeply moved everyone who witnessed it.
Wang Tianxin, in particular, was so moved he almost cried.
"Brother, look how good their relationship is."
Wang Tianxiao remained silent.
Liu Yuan said from the side, "Aren't animals and humans the same? They also have all kinds of emotions. Wolves are actually very affectionate animals and rarely do anything treacherous. It's just that what humans fear most is accidents."
If they suddenly become temperamental, they could harm humans. This is understandable; even pet dogs sometimes go berserk and bite their owners. It's not uncommon for male and female wolves to live together in such a way.
On the contrary, it would be difficult for men and women to be in this situation. If both were starving and had only one bite to eat, how many men and women would be willing to share it with each other? And how many would still be thinking about the child in the woman's womb?
Wang Tianxiao glanced at him and sighed, "All we can say is that every life has its shining moments. We don't think these animals are so great or deserve special treatment just because they also have feelings of respect that humans have."
Ultimately, it all depends on whether they will harm humans. If their noble sentiments are based on sacrificing humanity, then no matter how good they are, it is not something we can accept.
Compassion and pity are human nature, but they can't be without principles and purpose. I let that jackal go last time because I felt sorry for the little jackal, but that led to the tragedy that followed.
Hopefully, this time the same mistake won't happen again.
Wang Tianxiao went in again, took a piece of meat, and threw it in front of the male wolf. Both the male and female wolves were very thin, but the female wolf was obviously much more energetic. This male wolf didn't seem to have much energy, probably because he was extremely hungry. If he didn't get some food in time, he probably wouldn't last long.
The male wolf looked at the meat in front of him, then at Wang Tianxiao, seemingly wanting to show him goodwill, but not knowing how to express it.
"Eat, eat. Once your children are born and your families multiply, you'll be able to establish yourselves here. You wolves are like that, and so are we humans. Harmony is built on strength. When you have no strength, nothing else matters."
The wolf growled softly at Wang Tianxiao a few times, then used its teeth to bite the meat open, eating half of it itself and giving the other half to the mother wolf.
The mother wolf pushed the meat towards her again with her head.
It pushed it over again, and even bared its teeth slightly at the mother wolf.
The mother wolf then lowered her head and slowly chewed the meat before swallowing it.
"Sigh, as people get older, they can't bear to see these things."
Liu Yuan turned and went into the tent.
Cui Wanshan glanced at his watch and said to Wang Tianxiao, "It's just past four o'clock. It'll be several more hours before dawn. Do you want to go inside and get some sleep?"
"Go to sleep. Tianxin, you should go to sleep too. You still have to carry things during the day, so save your energy."
"Oh well."
"Brother, aren't you going to sleep?"
"I took a nap, but I'm not sleepy now. I'll help you guard the tent."
"Then I'm going to sleep."
Cui Wanshan and Wang Tianxin entered the tent, while Wang Tianxiao wrapped his coat tightly around himself and sat silently a few meters away from the two wolves.
The two wolves ate some meat and drank some water, and their spirits improved considerably.
Looking at Wang Tianxiao's eyes again, they were no longer so wary.
