During famine years, I had a divination slip in hand, and my whole family ate chicken, duck, fish, a

He heard people in the village gossiping when he woke up early, saying that Er Yatou was fierce, but his fierceness was still an eye-opener!

That's a wolf's den! Isn't she afraid that a wolf might jump out and bite her neck?

"careful."

Ye Dazhuang grabbed her hand and dragged her behind him without saying a word. He then drew a machete from his waist and chopped away the bushes that were blocking the view.

A deep, dark cave entrance was suddenly revealed.

"Waaah...waaah..."

A low, sobbing sound came from the deep cave.

The mother wolf sensed danger, but was too weak to get up and could only weakly issue a warning.

"Awoooooo..."

Ye Dazhuang listened intently and realized it was the little wolf's voice.

He turned and gave Ye Qingqing a look, then whispered, "It's a wolf, and there should be cubs... but the sound doesn't sound right."

"Huh? It really is a wolf!"

Zhao Laosan gripped the wood-chopping knife tightly, sweat beading on his forehead from nervousness.

The whimpers of a dying mother wolf are definitely not right.

Ye Qingqing asked, feigning ignorance, "There really are wolves? They should be able to smell us, why haven't they come out yet?"

Ye Dazhuang frowned and glanced at her, unsure whether she was pretending or genuinely unaware, and said softly,

"The smell of blood is very strong; the person must be injured."

"No wonder……"

Ye Qingqing pondered for a moment and asked, "Then how do we get it out?"

Ye Dazhuang took the bow and arrows off his shoulder and handed them to Ye Qingqing.

"Take it. It won't come out, so I had to get it out."

As he spoke, he took off his cotton-padded coat, revealing his chest muscles under the thin shirt, his thick arms almost bursting the fabric.

He wrapped his cotton-padded coat around his arm several times, then bent down to raid the wolf's den.

"Big Brother Da Zhuang, what are you doing?"

The three men, including Zhao Lao, were stunned, sweating profusely as they said, "There are wolves in there! You really dared to reach in... what if you got bitten and lost your arm!"

Ye Dazhuang ignored him, grabbed the hole with one hand, and stuck his arm, wrapped in a cotton-padded coat, inside.

"Awoo!"

Suddenly, a weak but terrified howl came from inside the cave, and the two wolf cubs also howled in panic.

Ye Qingqing held her breath, and saw Ye Dazhuang's sword-like eyebrows suddenly furrow, his face slightly ferocious.

This means the wolf has bitten it.

"Big Zhuang, watch out!"

She gripped the wood-chopping knife tightly, ready to kill the mother wolf that lunged at her at any moment!

"It's okay, it wasn't bitten through."

Ye Dazhuang shook his head at her, took a deep breath, and suddenly exerted force in his arm, his biceps instantly turning into a jumping little mouse.

"Waaaaah..."

The sounds of struggling and whimpering from inside the cave grew louder, accompanied by rapid breathing and the howling of a wolf cub.

Before long, a mother wolf covered in blood was dragged out.

Its lifeless eyes held a hint of terror as it glared fiercely at Ye Dazhuang. It bit down hard on Ye Dazhuang's arm, its wolfish mouth baring to reveal sharp teeth and red flesh, its face contorted in a ferocious expression.

"Wolf! Wolf! It really is a wolf..."

The moment Zhao Laosan saw the wolf, the roots of his hair stood on end.

His first instinct upon seeing the wolf was to turn and run, but he forcefully suppressed his fear, leaped in front of Ye Qingqing, and cried out in alarm.

"Master, be careful! Don't be afraid, I'll protect you!"

Ye Qingqing almost tripped over him, and couldn't help but roll her eyes, her face full of black lines.

Hey buddy, who's the one who's scared?

However, his attitude in protecting his master was quite upright; he'll get a bonus when he gets back.

Ye Dazhuang said calmly, "It's alright, it's badly injured."

Ye Qingqing pushed Zhao Laosan away and then saw that the mother wolf had a gaping wound the size of a palm on her belly. She didn't know what kind of ferocious beast had torn it open, and even her intestines were exposed.

It was already on its last legs, but the scent of danger sustained it as it used its remaining strength to howl and roar at the enemy.

Those sinister wolf eyes had begun to glaze over, yet they still held a final, fierce edge.

"Waaaaah..."

The mother wolf probably knew her end was near, because she suddenly loosened her grip and struggled to rush into the cave, letting out a final whimper.

"Awooo... Awooo..."

Hearing their mother's call, the two furry little cubs hurriedly ran out on their short legs, pounced on their mother, hopped around, sniffed her wounds, and licked her mouth.

Ye Qingqing was moved by what she saw.

The mother wolf had a fatal wound on her belly; the blood from the wound had blurred the skin, and her exposed intestines were covered with coarse branches and rotten leaves.

One can imagine that after being injured, it was worried about its two cubs and used its last breath to crawl back to the wolf den.

There's a saying, isn't there?

Females are weak, but mothers are strong.

Motherhood applies to both humans and animals.

But it was too late to reverse the situation.

"Master, Master, look! It even has pups!"

Upon seeing the injured mother wolf, Zhao Laosan instantly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly raised his wood-chopping knife, saying...

"Let's kill them all together!"

"Fuck your grandpa!"

Ye Qingqing rolled her eyes at him. Was this kid a little slow on the uptake? The mother wolf was already in such a state, why bother with that knife?

Besides, these are the last moments of the wolf mother and her cubs; how could he be so heartless?

"Waaaaah..."

The mother wolf licked her two cubs with difficulty, then let out a weak groan. She stared at Ye Qingqing with wide eyes, her unfocused gaze seemingly pleading.

Entrusting or placing an orphan on someone's behalf?

Ye Qingqing's heart skipped a beat.

The mother wolf knew they were enemies, yet in her final moments, she pleaded with the only female in the area to entrust her orphan to them!

Ye Qingqing pursed her lips and reached out her hand to the two wolf cubs leaning against their mother.

Zhao Laosan was startled. "Master! What are you doing?!"

Even Ye Dazhuang couldn't help but frown, a hint of wariness flashing in his deep eyes, as he quietly tightened his grip on the wood-chopping knife.

"fine."

Ye Qingqing waved her hand, took one of the wolf cubs from its mother's arms, grabbed another one that was jumping around, and hugged it to her chest as well.

"Waaah..."

The mother wolf trembled all over, struggled to raise her head, and looked at her with despair in her wolf eyes filled with tears.

"Don't move."

Ye Qingqing held the two little cubs in one arm and stroked their heads with the other, speaking softly.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt them. I will definitely treat your children well."

"Waaah..."

As if the mother wolf understood her words, Chong Ye Qingqing nodded!

It struggled for a moment, trying to lick its baby one more time, before suddenly collapsing to the ground with a thud.

A pair of tear-filled wolf eyes, still gazing in the direction of the child, had lost all their light.

Ye Qingqing reached out and touched her eyelids, and whispered,

"Don't worry about leaving the child with me... I hope you can be reborn as a human in your next life."

"Oh, right, there's something else I want to discuss with you. It's a shame to keep your wolf pelt. I'll bury your body, but could you lend me the pelt?"

Ye Dazhuang couldn't help but smile.
