Chapter 41: Little Wolf Cub
The two green eyes in the forest became brighter and brighter, and the beast ran faster and faster.
Chu Qiao's scalp tingled. This was illogical. Normally, as long as humans did not actively attack wild animals, the wild animals would not initiate an attack unless they were in a very hungry environment.
Did I run into a starving ghost?
She reached into her backpack silently and gripped the dagger tightly.
The distance between the man and the beast was getting closer and closer. In the dense and opaque forest, Chu Qiao found it difficult to see its appearance.
As it got closer, Chu Qiao judged its size, and her doubts grew. This guy was not big, less than 80 centimeters long.
It doesn't look like a huge beast, maybe a small leopard or a mountain cat.
Although these little guys have some fighting power, this type of small beast is a piece of cake for Chu Qiao.
Chu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, stopped, and waited for this guy to show up. The rumbling sound in his stomach reminded Chu Qiao that it was time to eat.
Chu Qiao raised one corner of his mouth. If he was lucky, he would encounter a mountain cat, which was not a nationally protected animal, and he would be able to have a full meal.
The little beast seemed to notice that Chu Qiao had stopped and slowed down its approach.
“Ah——”, a cry came from the woods, this cry...
"Master Chu, wolf cub?"
"Master Chu, take it, skin it and roast it."
"More food, more food."
Chu Qiao felt something was wrong. The sound that came from the depths of the forest just now was clearly not this sound, and it didn't even sound like a wolf's howl.
The little wolf cub finally appeared. His whole body was gray, except for his four legs which were snow-white. His two ears stood upright and moved flexibly, and his tail hung low.
It just crouched down and looked at Chu Qiao vigilantly.
"Wow, so cute!"
"Is this really a wolf? So silly."
"No, no, take it back. You can't peel the skin and eat it?"
"Upstairs, what are you going to eat? Braised?"
"Get lost."
The little wolf suddenly looked up at the sky with its mouth open.
“Ouch—”
Chu Qiao was looking at the little guy very seriously, but its howling made Chu Qiao laugh completely.
"Just you? No, just you, the wolf?"
“Ouch—”
Chu Qiao put away the saber in his hand, put the rope into the bag, and approached the little wolf step by step.
No matter how small the little wolf is, it is still a wolf. Feeling threatened, it suddenly pounced on Chu Qiao and bit his trouser leg.
Fortunately, Chu Qiao was afraid of the cold, so he put a lot of dead leaves in his trouser legs to keep warm. Otherwise, even the bite force of a young wolf would be beyond the resistance of a mortal body.
Chu Qiao swung his legs. "Get up, or I'll be rude to you."
The little wolf bared its teeth and snorted at Chu Qiao's trouser leg.
Chu Qiao sneered, bent down, grabbed the wolf cub by the scruff of the neck, and lifted it up.
The little wolf's green eyes froze for a moment, and after it came to its senses, its snow-white hooves kicked wildly in the air.
Chu Qiao touched the wolf cub's belly with his other hand. There was no meat on its body, just skin and bones.
She shook her head. "I'll spare your life because you're a protected species. And most importantly, you don't have much meat on you. You're too skinny and not tasty."
As he spoke, Chu Qiao took out the water bottle from his backpack with one hand and fished out the earthworms that had been floating on the water bottle and died for a while.
"for you."
When the earthworms were fed to the wolf cub's mouth, the guy was stubborn and refused to speak.
Chu Qiao threw the guy to the ground and threw the earthworms on the ground.
"You can see it, it's not that I'm cruel, it just won't eat it on its own."
Before he could finish, the little wolf made a woofing sound, with half of the earthworm hanging from its mouth.
The live broadcast room was filled with rows of joyful comments, and everyone was amused by the little wolf cub.
The remaining earthworms were sucked into its stomach.
Chu Qiao turned and left. She wanted to find a place to sleep and had no time to waste with a little kid.
Before he had taken two steps, Chu Qiao felt his trouser leg being caught.
When she looked down, she saw that the little guy had bitten her leg again, but this time, he was merciful and just pulled her trouser leg.
Chu Qiao kicked it away angrily: "What are you doing? Are you blackmailing me?"
"Oh, Master Chu, how cute, are you bringing it?"
"That's right, this guy is even cuter than Baymax."
Chu Qiao shook his head: "It's impossible to take him with me. If I take him with me in the forest, it's fine. But once we get out, he's a wolf and there's no place for him to survive. Sending him to the zoo would be like a lifetime of imprisonment for him."
The little wolf cub refused to let go, no matter how hard Chu Qiao pulled, and pulled Chu Qiao in the opposite direction.
Chu Qiao dragged the little guy and walked limpingly.
This guy just acted like a spoiled brat, lying on the ground with all fours and not moving a muscle.
After all, she is just a little girl. No matter what Chu Qiao says, she is a female. Once the maternal instinct in her heart arises, it will be difficult to control.
She squatted down and poked the wolf cub's head: "What are you doing?"
The little wolf ran two steps into the depths of the forest, looked back to see that Chu Qiao was still there, turned back, and started pulling at Chu Qiao's clothes again.
Chu Qiao understood what it meant, but she didn't want to go in. The droppings she saw that afternoon were one large and one small, indicating that there were other wild animals nearby. She didn't want to cause trouble, but...
"Forget it, just go in." Chu Qiao said this not only because he was helpless towards the little wolf, but also because he was confident in his ability to escape.
"Okay, stop pulling at my pants and lead the way. Where are you going?"
The little wolf opened his mouth, jumped up and down, and ran forward happily.
The further they went inside, the more nervous the people in the live broadcast room became. Some of them already regretted persuading Chu Qiao to go in.
In the depths of the forest, besides the pitch darkness and the whistling sound of the wind, there is also the creepy "cuckoo cuckoo" sound.
"Master Chu, what's that sound?"
"Master Chu, turn back."
"This little wolf cub might just take you into the wolf den."
"The one above, the one who goes in is you, and the one who doesn't go in is you too."
Chu Qiao put his hand to his mouth, signaling everyone to stop fighting: "Since we are here, let's make the best of it. There's no need to be afraid of that cry just now. It was the cry of an owl."
The little wolf looked back every few steps, fearing that Chu Qiao would disappear while walking.
The forest was full of thorns, and there were wild jujube trees from time to time, stretching out long branches. The thorns on the branches scratched Chu Qiao's clothes, making a hissing sound. Fortunately, the clothes were wear-resistant, so Chu Qiao only needed to protect his hands and face.
“Woo woo—”
“Ouch—”
There was a tiny sound coming from the front, and the little wolf seemed to become anxious. It moved forward at a significantly faster pace and didn't even look back at Chu Qiao.
Chu Qiao ran to catch up.
As he got closer to the sound, the little wolf suddenly braked.
Chu Qiao followed its gaze and saw an adult wolf in front of him, about one and a half meters long, with a gray-black body.
But what was surprising was not the wolf itself, but this wolf, one of its hind legs was lassoed and it was hanging upside down on a branch.
