After the arrival of the wolf cubs, the cubs' lives became much richer.
Watching the wolf cubs sleep, watching them walk, they find it all fascinating. Even a few howls from the cubs can excite them greatly.
Today, the cubs have a new task: feeding the wolf pups.
Da Bao, holding a stone bowl, said to the cubs in a serious manner, "Make way, don't crowd around the wolf cub, I'm going to feed it."
Erbao and the others didn't know why, but Dabao asked them to move aside when he was feeding them. However, they obediently made room for him and watched with wide eyes as Dabao stuffed a piece of fragrant roasted meat into the wolf cub's mouth.
"Little wolf cub, eat quickly, and you'll grow up fast if you eat your fill."
The wolf cub licked the roasted meat and turned its head away.
The cubs were all shocked.
This barbecue is so delicious, but the little wolf cub won't eat it!
"Big brother, feed it another bite. It probably didn't realize what was happening earlier," Sanbao offered enthusiastically.
Da Bao did as instructed, but this time the little wolf cub not only didn't eat it, it also wobbled around and turned its back to them.
The little ones: "..."
Erbao volunteered: "I'll give it a try. The little wolf cub likes me the most, so it'll definitely eat what I feed it."
Da Bao didn't like hearing this, "Then you feed it your share."
"Okay." Erbao was full of confidence and high spirits, but in the end, he returned empty-handed as well.
The wolf cubs howled and looked very hungry, but they refused to eat.
Xiao Sibao said, "Does the little wolf cub not like to eat meat? I'll give it some grass."
She ran off to pick some grass and came back, saying softly, "Little wolf cub, eat some, or you'll go hungry."
The little wolf cub sniffed the grass with its delicate little nose, then listlessly drooped its head.
"What's wrong? Why isn't it eating anything? Is it going to die? I heard from the beastmen that if a cub doesn't eat, it will die," Sanbao said worriedly.
Little Sibao burst into tears, hugging the hungry and dizzy little wolf cub, and kept saying, "Little wolf cub, don't die, eat something."
When Sanbao saw his younger sister crying, he rushed over to find Shenmiao like a whirlwind.
"Mom, the little wolf cub won't eat, and Si Bao is crying." San Bao vividly described why the little wolf cub refused to eat and how hard they had to coax it to eat.
After listening, Shen Miao glanced at the roasted meat in the hands of the children.
Golden brown, crispy, and fragrant, it tastes absolutely amazing.
Yes, she baked it.
In the eyes of the cubs, this was a divine delicacy, something they could never tire of. If the wolf cubs didn't eat it, there was a big problem.
However, what the cubs didn't know was that those were newborn wolf cubs.
"Sibao, get up!" Shen Miao walked up to Sibao and said sternly.
Little Sibao had tears welling up in his eyes, too scared to let them fall any further.
Shen Miao took the baby from her arms and said sternly, "Why are you crying? It's such a small thing, what's there to cry about? How have I always taught you? When you encounter a problem, try to solve it first. If you can't solve it, come to your mother. Haven't you listened to me?"
Seeing Shen Miao's stern face, Xiao Sibao was terrified.
"Mom, I remember, I'll never do it again, boohoo."
Shen Miao glanced at the other cubs and said, "You are the same. As beastman cubs, you must be strong. Shedding tears over trivial matters will make people look down on you."
Erbao lowered his hand from his eyes and answered dejectedly, "Okay, Mom."
Shen Miao was finally satisfied and told the cubs that the little wolf cubs didn't refuse to eat, but they refused to eat what they offered. "She's still too young and can only eat soft food, just like you were when you were born."
"Mommy, were we as small as wolf cubs when we were first born?" Erbao asked.
Shen Miao recalled that the four cubs were indeed small when they were born, about the size of a small mouse, and not even as big as a wolf cub.
He couldn't help but smile: "Pretty much."
The cubs exclaimed in amazement, "We're so small! Our mother and father are amazing! They can't even feed one wolf cub, yet they have to feed all four of us!"
Shen Miao had no idea what the four cubs were thinking. She cooked some meat soup with plain water, which the little wolf cubs ate with relish.
The children were overjoyed to see this amazing scene, and their trust in Shen Miao increased even more.
"Alright, take it to its den." Shen Miao handed the wolf cub to the other cubs.
She packed some meat and mushrooms, preparing to go back to her parents' home.
The children couldn't be taken away because they still needed to watch over Qingchen. After giving the children some instructions and preparing two or three days' worth of food to ensure that the children and Qingchen wouldn't go hungry, Shen Miao finally felt a little relieved.
However, just as she was about to leave, the little ones followed closely behind, unwilling to let her go.
"What's wrong?" Shen Miao squatted down and looked at the listless little ones.
The children's eyes were filled with tears, and the fourth child almost cried again, but remembering Shen Miao's words, he forced back his tears.
Shen Miao was a little puzzled, and had a bold guess in her mind.
The little ones probably... can't bear to part with her.
Soon, her guess came true.
"Mother, can you please not leave your children?" Sanbao asked weakly.
Shen Miao's heart melted, and she said softly, "Sanbao, your mother is going back to her mother's house to see if she is doing well. But I won't stay for long, because this is my home. You are my children, and I will not abandon you."
Sanbao's eyes lit up immediately.
Erbao pursed his lips: "Are you telling the truth?"
Shen Miao is not trustworthy. She used to come home without the kids, and sometimes she wouldn't come back for a long time.
They were actually happier when Shen Miao didn't come back, because without her, she couldn't beat them up.
But things are different now.
Their mother is so good; she cooks delicious food, plays with them, and even gives them wolf cubs. They are really afraid that if their mother leaves, she will never come back.
Just like Shen Miao said before, she would leave them sooner or later.
"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you? You are all my precious little ones," Shen Miao said earnestly.
The children rushed into Shen Miao's arms, and Shen Miao hugged them tightly.
Only Da Bao stood there, looking conflicted, his little eyebrows almost furrowed together.
He wanted to pretend he didn't care, but he couldn't help but keep looking at Shen Miao.
She kept glancing at me furtively.
Shen Miao smiled at him, and Da Bao awkwardly turned his head away.
Releasing the cubs, Shen Miao was truly leaving. After taking a few steps, she turned back and saw a little tail following behind her. Xiao Sibao clung to her animal skin skirt, timidly following her.
My child, if this continues, I won't be able to go home today.
Shen Miao had no choice but to offer further comfort, talking until her throat was dry, and promising to return soon before finally managing to escape and head towards the original owner's parents' home.
