117 A Beast Is Following Us
Everyone looked down and saw a pair of green and fierce eyes.
Startled, Cui Lingyi pointed at the white ball in the trap. “This is a wolf, right?”
Bai Wutong stared at the half-grown creature and came to a conclusion. “It must be a snow wolf.”
Snow wolves were also known as Dream Wolves. They were agile and could reach two meters in length when they reached adulthood. They weighed 70 kilograms and liked to eat wild rabbits, reindeer, and so on. They were the most outstanding hunters in the forest and grassland.
!!
Bai Wutong had once seen a snow wolf introduced in a television program, but it was far inferior to this pure white and flawless little fellow in front of her.
This trap was specially used by Bai Wutong to catch pheasants and rabbits. There were no stakes in it, so the creature was not injured, but its feet were wrapped in rope so that it could not escape. It could only grimace and glare at Bai Wutong, trying to show her how powerful it was.
When Chu Tianbao saw that it was not a rabbit, he was a little disappointed. He looked at the little snow wolf that thought it was very intimidating and asked Bai Wutong, “Is the snow wolf delicious?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the snow wolf roared angrily at Chu Tianbao, as if it could understand.
Bai Wutong was a little surprised. It seemed to be true that snow wolves were quite intelligent.
Bai Wutong was in a daze and did not answer. Instead, Lin Yue said, “I heard that wolf meat is very dry. However, it’s so small. The meat should be tender, right?”
Chu Tianbao’s eyes lit up. “Will it taste better than rabbit?”
Lin Yue thought for a moment. “Maybe.” For ancient people who liked to eat fatty meat, rabbit meat was actually also quite dry.
The disappointment in Chu Tianbao’s eyes quickly turned into surprise. Before anyone could react, he flew towards the trap.
The little snow wolf’s fur immediately stood on end. It opened its sharp fangs and aimed at Chu Tianbao, biting down.
Bai Wutong blinked and her heart almost jumped out of her chest. “Tianbao, be careful!”
No matter how small a small snow wolf was, it was still an extremely aggressive wild animal. Chu Tianbao had to be vaccinated against rabies after being bitten.
Chu Tianbao turned to smile at Bai Wutong. His other hand had already pinched the little snow wolf’s mouth and lifted it into the air.
Bai Wutong was so shocked that she broke out in a cold sweat. She frowned and said, “Come up quickly!”
Chu Tianbao grabbed the snow wolf’s tightly shut mouth and jumped up. He even raised it in front of Bai Wutong and said with a smile, “Wife, let’s roast the snow wolf?”
Either the snow wolf was frightened or Chu Tianbao had pinched its long mouth and it couldn’t breathe. Its green eyes rolled back and its furry body went still.
Cui Lingyi pointed at the little snow wolf in Chu Tianbao’s hand and said in surprise, “It’s dead?” Then he said in horror, “If we kill this little wolf, the wolf pack will come to take revenge, right?”
She had read many strange stories about the wilderness. Legend had it that a village had killed a litter of female wolves. In order to take revenge, the wolf pack did not hesitate to pay with their lives and kept attacking the village. As long as it was a newborn baby, they would be taken away and bitten to death. As a result, there had not been a newborn in the entire village for decades. The village and the wolf pack had also walked towards destruction at the same time.
Wolves would definitely repay kindness and hatred accordingly. If they really killed this little wolf, the villagers might really encounter trouble when they entered the mountains in the future.
Moreover, it had yet to grow up. It was also very adorable.
Bai Wutong said to Chu Tianbao, “It’s still young. Tianbao, let it go.”
Chu Tianbao widened his eyes in disbelief and shook the little snow wolf hard, waking it up again. He retorted, “Wife, it’s not small. It’s already the size of three rabbits.”
Bai Wutong explained simply, “It’s only considered to have grown up when it’s as heavy as a pig. Tianbao, let it go. There must be rabbits that Tianbao likes to eat in the trap ahead.”
Chu Tianbao glanced at the little snow wolf and brought it in front of him. He stared at its two fierce and frightened green eyes and said gloomily, “My wife said that you have to grow as heavy as a pig to be considered grown up. Then go back and grow up before coming to find me.”
Bai Wutong was afraid that the little snow wolf would be tortured to death by him, so he urged, “Tianbao, go ahead and let it go.”
Chu Tianbao nodded obediently and brainwashed it as he walked. “You have to grow as heavy as a pig before coming back…”
The little snow wolf that he had casually hung upside down again could not respond.
The little snow wolf was released by Chu Tianbao. Then, everyone continued to set off for the second trap.
Huang Zhong called out happily again, “Madam! There’s more prey! Two of them!”
Everyone rushed excitedly to the trap to take a look.
Chu Tianbao immediately frowned and pointed at the little snow wolf that was biting the rabbit in the trap. He said angrily, “Wife, it’s the wolf again!”
It was indeed the little snow wolf from before. This time, its feet were not bound by a rope, but it was probably too hungry. It had finally had a full meal, so it naturally could not bear to escape immediately.
In the end, it probably did not expect to encounter Bai Wutong and the others again.
As soon as Chu Tianbao spoke, it remembered his terrifying strength that grabbed itself in the mouth and it was unable to resist. It was so frightened that it stopped chewing the meat in its cheeks. Its towering back was pressed against the trap wall, and it looked fierce and guarded.
Bai Wutong glanced at the rabbit, which was still twitching from the bite of the little snow wolf. “Let’s go.”
Chu Tianbao said gloomily, “Don’t you want the rabbit?”
Bai Wutong said patiently, “This rabbit has been bitten by the wolf. Tianbao will get sick after eating it. Let’s leave it for the wolf.”
Chu Tianbao puffed up his cheeks and glared at the little snow wolf in the trap. He threatened fiercely, “You must grow into a pig and come back to me!”
The little snow wolf felt a strong pressure that could crush it to the bottom of the mountain. It raised its neck and bared its teeth without showing any weakness.
Bai Wutong said, “Alright, let’s go.”
Only then did Chu Tianbao retract his cold and domineering gaze. “Hmph, if you dare not return, you’re dead!”
The corners of Bai Wutong’s mouth twitched. It would be dead if it returned.
The third trap pit was a little far. After everyone walked for a long time, Huang Zhong shouted excitedly, “Madam! There’s prey!”
Bai Wutong was already used to it. She stuck her head forward with everyone and was immediately stunned.
What a huge wild boar!!!
When Bai Wutong set up the trap, he discovered that there were wild boar footprints and feces nearby. He deliberately filled the trap with sharp thorns. He did not expect to really catch a wild boar that weighed hundreds of kilograms.
It was pierced all over and motionless. It had been dead for a while.
The strong smell of blood might attract other wild beasts in the forest. Bai Wutong said, “Let’s bring it back quickly.”
When Chu Tianbao saw this wild boar, he recalled the special charcoal roasted pork belly that the Bai Wutong had made last time. He jumped down and carried the wild boar.
Compared to rabbits that were not enough to fill the gaps between his teeth, of course, wild boars were more to his liking.
...
They walked back with the wild boar. Huang Zhong suddenly said nervously, “Madam! There is a wild beast following us!”
