Chapter 214 The Little Wolf Cub Gets Better
When Qi'an heard this, his expression froze. He quickly walked up to the wolf cub, squatted down, stared at it intently, and let out a soft, strange growl.
When the little wolf cub heard the voice, his originally tense body trembled slightly. Although the vigilance in his eyes had not completely disappeared, there was a hint of doubt.
Qi An listened quietly. After a moment, he slowly stood up, his face full of solemnity and sadness. He looked at everyone and said:
"It hailed from the Frost Moon Tribe in the north. A few days ago, it was violently attacked by a pack of stray beasts. Its father desperately tried to break free with it, fleeing, but the stray beasts were relentless in pursuit... Finally, near Beast City, to completely protect it, the father fought a desperate battle with the stray beasts, but still... he fell. It watched its father die before its eyes. Its mother had also perished in the intertribal conflict. It felt it had harmed its parents, and now, consumed by self-blame, it simply didn't want to live."
After hearing this, everyone felt a pain in their hearts.
Xia Yueke looked at the little wolf cub distressedly and murmured:
"No wonder it resisted so much. How could a little creature endure so much?"
Juanjuan clenched her fists and gritted her teeth:
"Those stray animals are so abominable! This little wolf cub is so pitiful, we must help it."
The ball of fluff echoed:
"Yes, we must help. But how exactly can we help? It doesn't even want to eat right now."
Xia Yueke took a deep breath, walked to the wolf cub, squatted down again, and said in a firm yet gentle tone:
"Little one, your father is trying so hard to protect you because he wants you to live well, not to give up on yourself here. Look, we all want to help you, you are not alone."
The little wolf cub seemed to understand something, his body trembled, and tears flashed in his eyes.
Xia Yueke looked at the tears flashing in the little wolf cub's eyes, and her eyes became redder. She gently stretched out her hand, wanting to touch the little wolf cub, but was afraid of scaring it. She hesitated in the air for a while, and finally slowly fell down.
He gently placed his hand on the little wolf cub's dirty head, stroking it again and again, and murmured:
"Little one, I know you're feeling miserable right now, but your father is so brave. He's watching you from heaven. He definitely wants you to grow up happily and see more fun and delicious things in this world."
The little wolf cub let out a low whimper from his throat, sorrow in his amber eyes.
Xia Yuke simply sat down on the spot and gently held the little wolf cub in his arms, ignoring the dirt on its body.
"Look, you can only avenge your father and mother when you grow up, right? So the most important thing for you now is to take good care of yourself and grow up healthily!"
At this time, Rongqiu came quietly over, holding a piece of dried meat that he usually couldn't bear to eat. He squatted down, handed it to the little wolf cub's mouth, and whispered:
"Little wolf cub, eat something. Only when you are full will you have the energy to play. Let's play together from now on."
The little wolf cub twitched its nose and tilted its head a little.
Xia Yueke took the dried meat, tore off a small piece, and handed it over again, coaxing her gently:
"Just a small taste, okay? If you don't like it, we'll find something else."
The little wolf cub stared at the small piece of dried meat, hesitated for a long time, and finally opened his mouth, gently bit it, and slowly swallowed it.
Xia Yueke's eyes flashed with surprise, and she praised him non-stop: "So good, little guy is really amazing!"
After Xia Yueke's coaxing and praising, the little wolf cub's mood improved significantly, and he finally began to eat slowly.
Xia Yuke's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down a little. While the little wolf cub was eating happily, she hurriedly asked Qi'an about the little guy's name.
After Qi'an asked some questions, he learned that the little wolf cub was called "Liuli".
When Juanjuan heard this, her eyes widened with smiles, and she said happily, "'Liuli', what a nice name! It suits this adorable little kid so well. He sounds so delicate and adorable!"
Duzi also nodded emphatically, looking at Liuli with eyes full of love and kindness, and echoed: "It is indeed nice and easy to remember. It feels particularly suitable for her."
After Liuli had eaten her fill, Xia Yueke looked at her body covered in mud and couldn't help but frown slightly, and said softly:
"Liuli, look at yourself. You're covered in dirt. It would be terrible if you got sick accidentally. How about I give you a hot bath to wash away all the dirt and make you clean and beautiful again? Okay?"
Liuli lowered her eyes and looked at herself. Her originally smooth hair was now covered in mud and had a few dead leaves hanging on it. She looked extremely miserable.
She immediately nodded her furry head and let out a sweet and innocent cry of "Awoo~", obviously agreeing to Xia Yueke's suggestion.
Rongqiu and the others were very quick and agile. Upon hearing this, they immediately started working in a hurry. They fetched water, boiled water, and moved wooden barrels. In a short while, all the things needed for bathing were ready.
Xia Yueke was afraid that Liuli would be cold, so she carefully carried her into the house and considerately kept everyone else outside the door. After all, Liuli was a little female, and if she was shy, the little trust they had just built would be wasted.
Xia Yueke walked into the room and gently placed Liuli on the ground. While adjusting the water temperature, she spoke softly to Liuli:
"Liuli, don't be afraid. The water isn't hot. You'll feel comfortable after washing."
As she spoke, she gently carried Liuli into the wooden barrel, picked up a towel, dipped it in warm water, and carefully wiped the mud off Liuli's body. Her movements were so gentle that she was afraid of hurting her in the slightest.
Liuli was a little nervous at first, her body trembling slightly, but as Xia Yueke wiped her gently, she gradually relaxed and squinted her eyes comfortably.
After taking a bath, Xia Yueke wrapped Liuli tightly with a clean towel, held her in his arms and gently wiped her hair, muttering:
"Our Liuli is so beautiful after taking a bath."
As soon as the others heard it, Duzai and the others walked in immediately.
This is really different. Liuli's wet hair has been wiped dry, and it is fluffy and soft, with a silver-gray luster in the dim light.
On her small and delicate face, her amber eyes were clear and bright, like translucent amber. Although there were still some undried tears in the corners of her eyes, they could not hide the rekindled vitality in her eyes.
Her ears stood up pointedly, and the fur on the tips curled playfully, trembling slightly as she turned her head.
The little pink nose sniffs the surroundings from time to time, the limbs are slender but strong, the claws are tucked into the pads, occasionally stretched out to gently scratch the ground, and the tail is like a furry duster, swinging happily from side to side, sweeping across the ground.
The mud and dead leaves on her body had long disappeared, replaced by a clean and smooth coat of fur. She nestled so obediently in Xia Yueke's arms. Anyone who saw her couldn't help but feel pity for her. She was simply a lovable little wolf cub.
