Chapter 1999 Magic Weapon Master 18
Riding on a donkey, I put the bag in front of me and found three "wolf heads" looking around. I might have to demolish the house again when I got home. Fortunately, there weren't many things in the house.
After arriving, as soon as I put them down, the three of them quickly ran into the barn, hungry, and looking for the ewes.
After dinner, washing up, and lying on the bed covered with a wool blanket, the three little wolves came over. There is one at my feet, and I can hold another in my hand. It is fluffy and fleshy. This is the happiest and most comfortable moment of the day, and I am happier than getting money after selling the goods.
There is no other way to fish, so the only way is to fish. After hanging the fishing tools made of branches, rattan ropes, and then pick up the bow and go hunting, the wolf can eat meat.
Most of the grouse were given to the cubs, and the chicken carcasses were used for soup. It would be impossible to raise any larger chickens, and each one would taste like a hungry wolf. Xining was really helpless. If you want to raise a cub, you have to keep raising it no matter what.
Among the three wolves, Roma, the little female wolf, is the most conscientious and clingy. Every night, he insists on squeezing next to her and refuses to sleep until he is held in his arms. Wolf Boy and Erha are both male wolves. They often fight and provoke cats from time to time.
The little wolf is growing very fast and is estimated to be three months old. It is about the same size as an ordinary dog. The difference is that its tail is always hanging down. Now they all follow the donkey. They have good endurance and are very well-behaved. They never fight when they go outside. When I get home, things will change again.
Those cats are no longer opponents, even the most ferocious one will run away from them when he sees them.
On the day when the heavy snow fell, Xining brought the ewe and the lamb that had grown quite big and started to eat grass to the town. When the boss saw it, he asked for it and gave him two silver coins.
The boss couldn't help but ask: "Are you really selling it? Why don't you stay and eat it yourself?"
"No, after all, the wolf cubs are fed. If you want to kill them, find a quick butcher." Xining put the money into the purse.
The boss immediately shook his head: "Since Shepherd John died, there are no sheep left in the town. It happened that my wife's nephew came here to look for work. This lazy guy can't do anything, so he drove a few sheep to graze. This sheep is good, let’s keep it for breeding.” Many children drive their own sheep to graze at the age of seven or eight, which is a good arrangement.
This is better, Xining smiled.
It was still snowing outside, so the boss asked the cook to bring him a bowl of hot soup with butter and asked her to finish it and leave. He sat down with a glass of wine and drank.
While drinking soup, the boss chatted and said that wolves might have come to the town. The dogs in the town barked very fiercely that night. When they looked out the window, they saw a figure that looked like a big dog, but no one dared to go out to find out.
The boss also sighed: "It's been snowing for three days. The wolves should have no food and come to the town. One year, there were even wild boars and black bears."
Something suddenly occurred to me: "Can your bow and sword be used?"
Xining was stunned for a moment, then gave an ambiguous answer: "It's okay."
The boss took a sip of wine and said, "When the beasts are too noisy, they will offer a reward for a magic weapon master to kill them, and the price will be quite good. It is not easy for you to live in a wooden house alone in this winter, otherwise you will I won’t charge you for living here. I’ll ask someone to get the fish!”
Okay, I don’t live here just to secretly learn how to make fish balls. Xining decisively refused: "How can I kill any wild beasts? I am used to living alone, and there are three wolves. They will grow bigger and bigger and will scare the guests."
The boss glanced at the three already big wolves lying in front of the fireplace: "That's right. When you want to live here, let me know."
"Okay, definitely." After finishing the soup, Xining followed the locals' example, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, stood up and left. Seeing that she was leaving, the three little wolves stood up and followed her.
Don't look at me with envy. You won't know how miserable it is until they eat. Each guy can eat a grouse every time, and they don't know how to hunt yet.
Sitting on the back of the donkey, Roma didn't go very far when Roma brayed again, sped up a few steps, stopped in front of the donkey, rolled around and exposed its belly. She reluctantly went down, picked it up on the donkey's back, and rode together on the donkey.
Roman sat in front, leaning in her arms, breathing hot air from his nose and mouth with joy. The snow was falling heavily. If I hadn't put on my hat, my hair would soon be covered with a white layer of snow. This was also the biggest snowfall in the owner's memory.
She reached out and touched Roman's head, and then pinched the skin around his mouth: "You little girl, you can't always be like this, you don't have the smell of a wolf at all. In the future, you will be the female leader and lead the wolves with your husband. swarm and reproduce. ”
Instead, Roman turned his head, rubbed his face against her hand a few times, and moved his body closer to her. It's even worse than a cat, it's really hopeless! Forget about the cub you raised, just keep it as a dog, there will be no shortage of it.
Back in the cabin, he burned the remaining fish balls and gave each wolf a bowl of fish balls plus the pork and bones just bought in town today. Now that they have a sense of competition, they must be fed separately, otherwise they will fight over who eats first. Food is limited, and wolves have huge appetites. They can go three days without eating after one meal. If one wolf is full, the other two may go hungry.
After eating, the three wolves gathered around the campfire basin in the middle, gnawing on the big bones. After she washed up, she heated a basin of hot water to soak her feet. He lay down on the bed while his feet were hot, covered him with a sheepskin and blanket, and then hugged Roman with two hands covering his feet and legs. At this time, he felt that it was worth feeding him the meat.
"Crack, crack, crack..." The iron chisel struck the ice pit, and the ice made a sound as it rubbed against the chisel.
The river was frozen. Fortunately, she knew how to fish in winter. She bought an iron to cut through the ice to catch fish, but it was a bit laborious.
When the ice finally broke through, water surged up and covered the ice. After a while, many fish swam to the entrance of the hole. This was because after the ice sealed the river surface, the oxygen in the water decreased. With the hole, the fish came to breathe. In addition, there are so many fish in this river and there is less oxygen in the water.
She quickly picked up the net and fished out one net after another. The fish reached the ice and soon froze into popsicles.
There are already cats and foxes waiting. Not only cats, but also foxes, knowing that they can eat something, have also come here. There are already two or three that are often seen. Cats are afraid of foxes and stay away from them. There was actually a weasel today.
The fox and weasel didn't dare to come over because the three little wolves looked at them with bared teeth. The fish belonged to their wet nurse. Who dared to take it without asking?
Cats already know how to fish, and those who come to eat are basically the old, weak, sick, and disabled, but after one winter, many of them will disappear. I came here again now because the weather was cold and I couldn't find anything to eat.
She still chose the big fish, and the small fish were divided up by the animals that came over to eat. Many of them left with the fish in their mouths satisfied after they were full.
There were too many fish to carry, so she dragged them away. The three little wolves ran back and forth, having fun in the snow.
When she arrived at the wooden house, the birdseed at the door had been eaten. She went in and took out some bran, put it into a clay bowl, and added some hot water to the frozen bowl next to it. After a while, birds flew over, and sometimes squirrels and raccoons came. This winter has been too difficult. Hungry has made the animals willing to take risks. If they don't eat, they will die. If they eat, they will be beaten to death.
Just as she was about to enter the house, she saw a dark shadow approaching in the distance. Usually no one came here... She became alert.
