Chapter 60: Secret Talk in the House



"I couldn't figure it out at first, but just now when you were picking herbs, I smelled wolf urine. I kept thinking about it all the way until I saw the Bigfoot being devoured by the vulture on the top of the mountain. Then I finally figured it out. So when there was movement in the grass, I immediately understood what the situation was." I also said as I ran.

"What is the relationship between Bigfoot and the smell of wolf urine? Sorry, I don't understand." Song Bailu said.

I held her, and we both took a break. The wolf pack's territory was limited to the dangerous road and had not yet reached the fault. To be on the safe side, we ran a little further, but after passing the jujube tree, there were no more threats. We stopped for a while and walked, and did some research along the way.

"Nature has its own unique system. Every animal has its own level in the food chain. Wolves have always been top hunters, but the reason why they have never approached this side and have been wandering and hunting in the dangerous area is because there is another stronger hunter occupying this side. This hunter is even above them in the food chain and is also a rare natural enemy of the wolves. Now that the natural enemy is dead, the whole situation has changed. That natural enemy is Bigfoot, so this territory has been re-divided." I said.

After all, Song Bailu is an academic genius and a top student. She understood what I said immediately and fully realized the seriousness of the matter.

"No natural enemies means an infestation! Just like the wild rabbits in Australia that had no natural enemies and proliferated, causing serious damage to the local plants and soil. If these wild wolves expand to this side, they will have no regard for others and can do whatever they want. At that time, we may encounter them everywhere, and our food chain will also change, which may cause a greater food panic." Song Bailu said.

"That's right. A little difference means a world of difference. As the saying goes, one flower, one world; one tree, one bodhi. Cutting down a tree is like destroying a small piece of ecology. What's more, if a group of wolves suddenly come, there will definitely be overhunting." I said.

"Generally speaking, wild wolves only hunt in their own territories. They will not expand unless there is not enough food or even a famine. I never thought that the wolf king would choose to expand his territory immediately. This is too strange." Song Bailu said.

"It's not surprising. The Wolf King has been planning this for a long time. Besides, there are countless monsters like hyenas on the other side of the dangerous area. The Wolf King will naturally think about preserving his own race, making multiple choices and attempts." I said.

After discussing for a long time, we unknowingly walked back to the old house. Yunwen and Xiao Yingchun also hurried to greet us. I asked Bailu to prepare the beef, soak it in spring water for a while, and start marinating it. I took the other girls into the house and told them what happened.

They were both stunned. They never thought that things would not only not get better, but get worse. This was definitely beyond their expectations.

"The wolves won't go down the fault, right? They can't use ropes. Besides, we can live by the sea and catch more seafood and eat kelp. We don't have to go up the mountain to cause trouble. There's no need to scare ourselves. It's not a big deal, right?" Yingchun said.

Yunwen shook her head. She understood the danger even more and pointed out directly, "This is not just a problem with the wolves. It's a problem with the entire environment changing. In the past, there was a Bigfoot guarding this mountain, so the inner and outer parts of the mountain didn't have too close contact. But once it died, the environment here would change."

"What do you mean? Why did you first say it was a wolf's problem, and now you say it's not a wolf's problem? Then whose problem is it? Can you stop playing tricks and speak properly?" Yingchun said anxiously.

"To translate it, not only wolves will come, but even many wild beasts like the ones that broke into the house that night will come. It's thanks to Sister Yunwen that she thought it through." I said.

When I said this, little Yingchun was frightened, her eyes widened in fear, and she understood the interests involved.

The arrival of wolves will destroy the ecological chain in this area, because there are no natural enemies and nothing to fear, and when wolves come, they may be followed by more terrifying hunters. Generally speaking, this area has become part of the dangerous area and is no longer a peaceful place in the fields and mountains.

"What should we do? Can we still stay here?" Yingchun said hurriedly.

"I'm afraid we have to hold out for a few more days. After all, it takes time to process the wheat. But we also have to prepare to pack up and leave. It's no longer advisable to stay here for long. We have to find our next place to stay immediately," I said.

This is a case of turning a blessing into a curse, and it has destroyed the pattern of nature. It will inevitably lead to a situation where you just get out of deep water and then into hot water. It will not be pleasant. I now deeply understand this.

"Then where should we hide? We built this place with every tree and blade of grass, and now we have to leave it. I really don't know where to go." Yunwen felt sad.

I held Yunwen's hand, patted her shoulder, comforted her, and said, "It's okay. The skills are still there, and the people are still there. We can build better bricks and tiles wherever we go. Let's talk about the residence. So far, I think the most suitable residence is the mountaintop area, which is also the Bigfoot's nest."

"Ah? There? It stinks! Do you still want to live there? What kind of taste do you have?" Song Yingchun said hurriedly.

"If it smells, just clean it up. As for why, it's because it's too high, and wolves and wild beasts usually can't find it and can't get up there, and they won't try easily, which ensures our safety. There are springs nearby as fresh water resources, so it's a good place for us to transition. That's why we chose a new residence. As for other options in the future, we can move again. What do you think?" I asked.

At this time, Song Bailu came in. She washed the beef and put it in a clay basin. She brought salt and planned to make a batch and eat a batch. When she heard what I said, she was the first to agree and said, "There are a lot of animal furs there. We can also harvest a batch to use as quilts. Besides, it is an isolated peak. If we hide well, we can even reduce the time of night watch."

"Well, I agree. Zhou Bo is an expert in survival in the wild and we should listen to him." Yunwen said.

In this way, with three votes against one vote, even if Song Yingchun disliked the place, it would be of no avail, and the relocation plan was decided in advance.

Of course, in order to convince them to go, I deliberately did not tell them the shortcomings there. First of all, there is no shelter from the wind on the high mountains. Secondly, it is difficult to store food, especially meat. Just look at the large number of vultures, sea eagles and the like and you will understand this. I'm afraid we have to think of some way to preserve the food. We also have to be careful of them attacking people.

However, as far as the emergency is concerned, I have no other choice but to choose that place as a transition. Besides, having a problem doesn’t mean it can’t be solved.

"That's settled then. Everyone, please pack up what you need to take so as not to rush. I have recently made the rice pounding tools. If it is really urgent, we can harvest the wheat in advance, pound the wheat, and then leave with the wheat. If it is not urgent, we can spend a few days to make it as ripe as possible to ensure the quantity is sufficient and to guarantee our food supply for the second half of the year." I said.

The other two girls nodded in agreement, but Bai Lu seemed a little worried. I knew what she was worried about. She was worried about something unexpected happening because the situation was out of control. If we delayed it here for another day, there would be more danger.
