"So I think the wolf's attitude toward me depends on my attitude toward Little Grey, plus Little Grey might have my scent on him, oh right, and those dogs too, they might all be related."
To be honest, I can't say for sure whether it's because of me or something else. Back then, the big wolf and I were barely able to coexist peacefully, but we rarely showed such closeness. When it came to food, it was Little Grey who would bite my trouser leg.
In recent years, we haven't had any communication, or rather, it seems we haven't had any other dealings, but…
His simple expression showed a mixture of surprise, confusion, and bewilderment, but also a hint of sudden realization.
"But what?"
"I've always thought that this beast is just a beast. I've never dared to hope that I could have a long-term relationship with it, or that we could have a relationship where we could trust each other and rely on each other. I've always been wary of it, and this time is no exception."
When I first found out, I was extremely anxious, especially after guessing it was a wolf. My first reaction was to quickly rescue the cub from its clutches. When we first entered the mountains, I was still worried. In fact, I didn't dare to look down at the ground the whole way, for fear of seeing bloodstains.
After entering the deep mountains, I gradually calmed down and remembered the scene when Big Wolf and Little Grey were young. At that time, I thought that we had known each other for so long and they knew that if they really wanted to hurt the cub, there was really no need to go through all this trouble.
Looking back now, I realize I was being petty and overly defensive.
Qin Qinghuai was stunned, then laughed.
"Why did you suddenly have such a change of heart?"
He let out a long, simple sigh of relief.
"It wasn't exactly sudden. I always subjectively felt I should be on guard, always telling myself that it was a wild beast, inhuman, inherently ferocious, and incapable of any human emotion, but,"
Qin Qinghuai continued,
"But subconsciously, you still won't put the wolf in an adversarial position, and when trouble comes, you'll still unconsciously trust it, won't you?"
After a brief thought,
"It seems that's really the case. Don't you think it's strange? Isn't this a contradiction?"
"Wolves are wild beasts and vengeful animals, but they are also the most grateful."
As the old saying goes, if a wolf turns back, it's either to repay a debt of gratitude or to seek revenge.
"Like you said, you definitely have no grudge against the wolf, but you did raise Little Grey for a while. No matter what you think, in the wolf's eyes, whether it's a favor or something else, you are acknowledged by it. Otherwise, why would Little Grey have sent its own cub over?"
As the couple were talking, another noise came from the yard.
"Mommy! Mommy!"
He peeked out briefly, saw nothing, and tried to get down, but Qin Qinghuai pushed him back.
"You lie down and don't move, I'll go!"
As a result, they froze the moment they stepped outside.
This is truly a situation where you can't talk about people during the day, and you can't talk about ghosts at night. You can't even talk about anything that's breathing. The very thing you just finished talking about has appeared right in front of you.
Qin Qinghuai was tense all over. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the girl reaching out to pluck his hair. Although he had just said he believed her, his whole body was now pounding with fear.
"Girl, come here!"
The little one was very excited and eager to climb up, but when she heard her father's voice and remembered the beating she had just received, she became a little hesitant. She hesitated and let go of his hand, preparing to turn around, but unexpectedly, her whole body stood up, and she sat on the familiar fluffy thing.
No manual intervention required throughout the entire process.
The child immediately burst into laughter.
Qin Qinghuai, “…”
The newly released text is simple, “…”
Looking at the bright daylight and the excited cub on the wolf's back, she simply couldn't stay angry anymore.
"Little Grey, what brings you here again?"
The gray eyes glanced at her casually, then let out a low "woof" and made way for the thing behind it.
Oh no, it's a small, black thing.
However, seeing its shape, Qin Qinghuai immediately turned cold as he glanced at the man beside him. Forgetting his fear, he quickly stepped over it, picked up the item, and...
"Where did this thing come from?"
Little Grey wagged its tail, let out another "woof" towards the mountain, and then looked at Jian Dan, its meaning quite clear.
Making simple guesses,
"There are things like this on the mountain, is that right?"
Now, it fell silent, turned around, leaped up, jumped over the wall, and ran away in a flash, accompanied by the little one's excited screams.
Simple,
"......"
She wanted to swear, really filthy swear words.
I'm so angry!
This is utterly lawless.
She wanted to take back all the praise she had just given.
Jian Dan was so angry she gritted her teeth, but what was the point of resting now? She went back to her room to change her clothes, and Qin Qinghuai went back to the camp to get more people. A large group of them went up the mountain again.
It's daytime now, and the only thing that makes them feel a little more at ease is that it's not the weekend, school is in session, and it's harvest time here, so there aren't many people left in the residential compound. Otherwise, it would be really lively in broad daylight.
"Honey, can you hold on?"
The most furious one was Qin Qinghuai. Not only did the girl snatch away right in front of him, but he also couldn't catch up with her. Moreover, he had to put his wife, who had just been discharged from the hospital, through a lot of trouble.
"fine,"
