Chapter 972: Territory No. , No.
Seeing Xia Qing driving back, the old wolf immediately hid its head in the weeds. Did it do this because it realized that it was wrong to drool at the chicken coop, or because it felt uneasy because it had an unusual smell after "waking up"?
To be on the safe side, Xia Qing decided to re-educate the wolf. After parking the car in the garage, she stood in the yard and pointed at the old wolf in a cold voice, "Old Four, come here!"

Xia Qing had confirmed with Broken Waist Wolf that this old wolf did not belong to the northern wolf pack and would not join the northern wolf pack after recovery. Therefore, it was very likely that it would stay in Territory No. 3. In order to facilitate communication, Xia Qing named it "Old Four".

Why not call him "Old Three"? Because Xia Qing was afraid that her idol would get mad if he knew about it.

Broken-Waisted Wolf, who was studying a CT machine in the house, was startled by Xia Qing and limped to the window to look out.

The old wolf in the weeds cautiously poked its head out, noticed Xia Qing staring at it, and quickly retracted its head.

Very good, his body is much better now. We can’t let it eat for free anymore.

Xia Qing restrained his emotions, pointed at the ground in front of him and repeated, "Old Four, come to me."

After about ten seconds, the old wolf slowly walked down from the ruins of the house, stood in front of Xia Qing, and lowered his big head to look at the ants on the ground.

Xia Qing pointed to the chicken coop next to him and asked, "Old Four, do you want to eat chicken?"

The old wolf moved his ears and continued to look at the ants.

Xia Qing brought this clever fellow to the chicken pen and gestured to it to reiterate the rules of Territory No. 3. "All the chickens here belong to me. They are my prey. If you dare to steal my prey, I will beat you up and drive you out of the territory! Woo——"

After the warning, Xia Qing added a majestic wolf howl, which made the old wolf realize the seriousness of stealing. After the broken-waisted wolf understood what Xia Qing was doing, he lost interest and turned around to continue studying the CT machine.

Xia Qing took the old wolf to the snake box and said, "The snakes in here belong to me. They are my prey. If you dare to eat them, I will beat you! Woo——"

"The plants and insects in the greenhouse and the fish in the pond all belong to me. They are my prey. If you dare to steal them, I will beat you! Woo——"

"All the squirrels on the tree belong to me. How dare you steal the red squirrels..." Xia Qing was murderous. "I will kill you! Ao--Woo--!!!"

At Xia Qing's warning, the old wolf lowered its head. But its ears were not flat, and its tail was not tucked in. From its attitude, Xia Qing could tell that it was an evolved wolf that was very old and weak, but still very proud.

It must have been very powerful in the past, and its fighting power is not weak now. Because the red squirrel family and the red fox family are very afraid of it. Since the old wolf came to the No. 3 territory, the red fox family dared not come to get medicine.

Of the animals in Territory No. 3, only Big Sheep and Broken Waist Wolf are not afraid of Big Four. Broken Waist Wolf is not afraid, which is natural; Big Sheep is not afraid, which is also natural, because he is not weak in combat power and is a companion of Broken Waist Wolf and Xia Qing.

Xia Qing thought that when this old wolf was young and strong, it might have been the wolf king of a certain territory. When it was old and weak and defeated by the new wolf king, it did not want to submit to the new wolf king, so it left its territory and wandered alone to the edge of the northern wolf pack, where it met the very loving wolfhound Lao Er.

Xia Qing didn't want to force this proud old wolf to submit to her. As long as it knew whose territory this was and followed the rules of the territory, it would be fine. She slowed down her speech and communicated with the old wolf, "Old Four, if you want to eat something, you can help me work in exchange."

Afraid that it wouldn't understand, Xia Qing handed it a small basket and asked it to hold it in its mouth. "Catch the insects and put them in the basket. Then you can feed Lao Si chicken and eggs at night. Come on, I'll teach Lao Si how to do it."

The old wolf held the basket in his mouth and followed Xia Qing out.

Catching insects in a territory of more than 7,000 acres is not a difficult task. Xia Qing, a dual-system evolver of hearing and vision, quickly caught a few ground beetles, crickets and centipedes, put them in a basket, and gestured to teach the old wolf how to complete this task.

"Old Four finds worms and puts them in a basket, like me."

The old wolf stared at the worms that couldn't crawl out of Xia Qing's basket for a while, then he walked forward more than ten meters with the basket in his mouth and dug out a fat earthworm from the soil with his claws.

Then, it put the basket upside down, used its big claws to pull the earthworms into the basket, turned to look at Xia Qing, its sparsely hairy face and light yellow eyes full of wisdom.

"Old Four is great! Earthworms are worms, and chickens love to eat them. They're great!" Xia Qing sincerely praised the clever old wolf, "Old Four, fill a basket with them. After we feed the chickens, we'll eat eggs and chicken." The old wolf quickly dug out another evolved insect pupa from the soil that was longer than a human finger, put the basket down again, dug it in, and looked at Xia Qing.

This wolf has lived in the forest for many years and must have seen an animal that looks like a chicken and eats worms from the soil. That's why it looks for worms in the soil and puts them in its basket.

Xia Qing enthusiastically praised the old wolf, who was both smart and experienced. "Old Four is awesome. Yes, chickens love to eat the worms that Old Four catches from the soil. Old Four, you are an evolved wolf standing on the pyramid of chicken farming on Blue Star!"

In addition to being experienced, Xia Qing also discovered that the old wolf did not like to bite things with its mouth, probably because its teeth were uncomfortable. If there were too many worms in its basket, it would not pull the worms out when it turned it over, but pour them out.

Xia Qing went home and found some bamboo boards and nails, and with a few clicks, he nailed a smooth slope on the outside of its small basket. He taught it to use its claws to catch the insects, pull them onto the smooth slope of the bamboo boards, and then put them into the basket.

This old wolf with evolved brain learned it quickly.

So, the man and the wolf each carried a large basket and wandered around the territory catching insects. The old wolf caught insects in the soil and on the ground, while Xia Qing caught insects on trees and grass leaves.

After filling the basket, Xia Qing took the old wolf home and taught it how to pour the worms into the chicken trough. She watched as more than seventy chickens of all sizes pounced on it, cackling and scrambling for the worms.

Then, Xia Qing saw saliva clearly flowing from the corner of the old wolf's mouth.

It seems that it really wants to eat chicken.

Xia Qing smiled, "Old Four, are you hungry? Come on, I'll go pick up eggs and boil some eggs and meat for you."

Xia Qing entered the chicken coop and picked out the eleven eggs that the chickens had laid today.

Although there are 14 chickens in the chicken coop, there are only laying hens, and the chicks hatched this year will not lay eggs until September at the earliest. However, about ten eggs a day are enough for Xia Qing to eat.

Although the leftover eggs cannot be traded with humans, they can be traded with animals. Currently, the main target of the egg trade in Territory No. 3 is the family of plucked weasels in Mountain No. 55.

The herbs that Xia Qing had pasted on the big tree outside his house had been replaced three times.

Xia Qing took the eggs and taught the old wolf that there are eggs only when there are chickens. Then she went back to the house and cooked the eggs and half a chicken in the refrigerator. After they were cooled to a suitable temperature, she brought them to the yard to feed the wolf.

"Eat it. This is Lao Si's reward for catching insects and feeding the chickens today."

The old wolf swallowed the shellless egg in one gulp, then ate the egg shell that Xia Qing had peeled nearby, and then he started eating the chicken.

Xia Qing did not correct the old wolf's behavior of eating eggshells. Any animal or person who has experienced hunger knows that not only eggshells but even chicken feathers can be eaten.

After eating half a chicken, the old wolf looked at Xia Qing with its light yellow eyes.

"Not full? Okay."

Xia Qing went back to the house and took out a pound of freeze-dried food and poured it into the old wolf's food bowl. After watching it lick the bowl clean, she added unpolluted spring water to it before going back to the house to cook.

After eating, the old wolf returned to the ruins of the house in the south of Xia Qing's territory. It preferred to stay in a high place with a wide view rather than in the sheep shed.

It is its freedom to stay wherever it likes. Xia Qing does not interfere and goes back to the house to cook.
