Chapter 117 So Well-Behaved It's Unbelievable
"Your second uncle is probably terrified, please don't be offended!"
"Second Aunt, but Second Uncle said he wants this little wolf. Why don't you take it home with you?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Laidi was so frightened that she quickly waved her hands: "No need, no need, I'm terrified of wolves. I saw one, and I'm absolutely terrified. Please take this wolf away with you, and take it far away. I'm really scared when I see it..."
She was truly terrified, terrified that the little wolf's parents would actually come knocking on her door.
Before Zhao Laidi got married, she had heard at home that wolves are social animals and very vengeful. If anyone does something to the wolf pack and the wolf pack remembers the scent, they will never let that person go.
She was afraid that her whole family had been targeted by wolves, so after saying that, she quickly grabbed her husband, picked up a hoe, and left.
Gu Yinniu was still a little incredulous as he was pulled away. He thought that Ershi must have said it on purpose to scare him.
Just as he was about to go back, his ear was grabbed, followed by a loud cry of pain that echoed from the mountaintop.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, honey, be gentle! Ouch, it hurts! Be gentle, my ear is going to be twisted off..."
"Did your ear fall off? It looks perfectly fine to me. Didn't you hear what that kid said?"
"I heard it, I heard it, but it's all meat! We can take it home and have two meals. It's free, why not take it!"
"Meat, meat, meat, all you know is meat. Do you know that's a wolf? The fiercest carnivorous wolf in the mountains."
"I know, I know, it's just a little wolf, right? Even if you skin it and stew it into a pot of wolves, it'll still be a dead wolf!"
Zhao Laidi felt she couldn't reason with this person anymore, so she increased the force in her hands. This time, Gu Yinniu really felt like his ears were about to fall off.
Then he heard his wife grit her teeth and say, "You ate the little wolf and had your fill of food, aren't you afraid that the little wolf's parents will come down from the mountain in the middle of the night and eat you up?"
"Let me tell you, you're not afraid, but I am. I don't want to die with you, and I especially don't want my two sons to die with you. You want to eat meat? You don't have any. You want to eat wolf meat? You'd better give up that idea..."
Gu Yinniu felt a burning pain in her ears when they were finally put down, as they had been pulled all the way.
As he walked home, he muttered to himself, "If you don't want me to eat wolf meat, then don't! Why are you being so fierce? You almost twisted my ears off!"
However, thinking about the little wolf from earlier, Gu Yinniu still felt very sorry. If it weren't for that old hag being scared, he would definitely have asked Ershi to give him the little wolf.
On his first hunt, Ershi caught a wolf cub. When Gu Zhan saw it, he didn't know whether to praise him or say that he was lucky.
"Master, can you help heal its leg?"
After bringing the little wolf back, Ershi hesitated for a few moments before finally asking the question he wanted to ask. Gu Zhan glanced at the whimpering little wolf.
"Don't you hunt for food?"
"Yes, but... it's still so small and doesn't have much meat on it. If we stew it, it probably won't taste as good as pork."
So you mean to fatten them up before eating them?
Hearing this, Ershi didn't know how to respond. He looked at the little wolf on the ground that kept trying to escape, but he didn't seem to have much of an appetite for it.
The wolf cub was prey that Ershi hunted himself, and how he dealt with his prey was his own business.
Gu Zhan told him where the medicine was kept, and then went back to his room.
Having found the medicine, Ershi picked up the wolf cub in one hand, looked at the medicine in his other hand, and then at the wolf in his other hand.
His face immediately fell, because he didn't know how to treat the wolf's wounds!
When he broke off the arrow fletching before, he made the wolf cub howl. If he were to remove the arrow from its wound, who knows how it would howl even more!
Not knowing what to do, Ershi glanced inside the room and then called out, "Master, I'm done. I'm going back now..."
Ershi carried the wolf cub back to the Gu family home, but the wolf was really noisy, howling the whole way.
The neighbors' dogs were so scared of howling that they stopped barking when they heard the wolf's howl.
He had just carried the wolf cub into the house when his older brother came out and, seeing what his younger brother was carrying, thought he was carrying a dog.
Just as he was about to ask why he was going to bring a dog back, he heard a faint wolf howl, which startled Gu Dachui.
"Ershi? Why did you bring back a wolf? Where did it come from?"
"This is what I shot on the mountain today. I hurt the little wolf's foot. Big brother, do you know how to take arrows?"
Although Gu Dachui was afraid of wolves, he wasn't afraid of such a small wolf cub. He shook his head when he heard his younger brother's question.
"Just kill it and stew it, why do you want to treat its wounds? Are you planning to raise a wolf?"
Ershi, who hadn't originally considered this, suddenly brightened up, staring expectantly at his older brother with eyes that seemed to ask, "Is it okay?" "Really okay?" "Can I raise wolves?"
Gu Dachui didn't know how to answer, so he quickly turned his head to the side. Then he heard him say, "If you want to raise it, you should first cure its leg. If it can't be cured, it will be a lame wolf in the future."
Ershi was startled when he heard this and quickly carried the little wolf to the main room. Gu Dachui was also startled when he saw his actions.
It was too late to stop him; Ershi, who had just gone in, bumped right into Lin Cai, who was coming out.
Lin Cai was a little surprised to see him return. Didn't Er Shi usually come back close to evening?
Why are you back so early today?
Before she could ask anything, she heard a whimpering sound. She looked in the direction of the sound and met a pair of pitiful eyes.
Lin Cai had never seen a real wolf cub before, so she assumed it was the dog that Gu Ershi was carrying. She then walked over and took the wolf cub from Gu Ershi's hands.
"Hey, don't worry..."
Before Gu Ershi could finish speaking, Lin Cai had already taken the wolf into her arms. The little wolf, which had struggled and howled the whole way and kept trying to bite him, stopped howling, struggling, and biting after being held in Lin Cai's arms.
It nestled quietly in Lin Cai's arms, so well-behaved that it didn't even look like a wolf.
Gu Dachui, who followed him in from outside, also saw this scene. He was worried that his younger brother bringing in the wolf cub would scare Lin Cai, but now it seems that he was worrying for nothing.
