Chapter 59 The approaching wolves

"Ouch-"

It was countless times that Jiang Wan woke up from sleep.

At dawn, Jiang Wan yawned, got up and got out of bed.

"Uncle Gore, good morning."

"Good morning, did you sleep well?" Gore handed her a cup of hot milk tea.

Jiang Wan shook her head and sat down on the low stool next to him, "I always hear the howl of wolves."

The golden light of the sunrise shines in through the wrap-around door that opens toward the southeast. The stove in the center of the tent is burning, and the firewood crackles from time to time.

Jiang Wan held the milk tea and drank it in small sips.

This somewhat old yurt is said to have been bought by the Gore brothers' parents when they were still alive, and many of the furnishings have the charm of the years.The cupboard on the east side is piled with various cooking utensils, and the west side is covered with a bottom felt. On the felt is a low-legged dark-painted carved wooden table with various snacks, and a red-painted wooden cabinet next to it.

There is a Buddhist niche on the cabinet, and a smell like willow and sandalwood wafts from the incense burner in front of the Buddha statue.

Jiang Wan closed her eyes and sniffed slightly to discern the incense in the censer.

"-Yeah, I could hear wolves howling all the time last night." Gore said, "I thought you were all sleeping deeply."

Jiang Wan opened her eyes, and glanced at the whips, bows and arrows, bridles and bridles hanging by the door, "Have any sheep been eaten?"

"No, the wolves didn't attack my livestock, but I don't know if other people's homes were attacked." Gore's eyes were bloodshot, obviously he didn't sleep well that night.

"Gore, are you awake?" Dari's voice came from outside the door.

"Brother, come in!" Gore shouted.

Dari walked into the yurt, greeted Jiang Wan, and immediately asked if Gore's sheep had been attacked.Knowing that his brother's flock had survived the night safely, Darri breathed a sigh of relief and brought new news to his brother.

"That so-and-so's sheep were eaten, four of them were eaten."

"Four!" Gore exclaimed. What made him nervous was that the wolf was very close to them. "Only four? The number of wolves may not be large."

Jiang Wan listened to their conversation and asked, "Is four heads not too many?"

"The prairie wolf is a vicious beast that can eat hundreds of sheep in one night!" Dari said in a serious tone, "Compared with hundreds of sheep, the death of only four sheep is nothing."

Gore nodded in agreement: "No one was hurt, right? That's luck."

Jiang Wan also felt fortunate that Gore's yurt couldn't accommodate so many people, and the program team slept in tents in the wild at night, and they would be killed if they encountered wolves.

"But it's strange to say..."

Da Ri's words attracted Jiang Wan's attention: "Why is it strange?"

Dari: "The wolf just dragged the sheep away from the sheepfold and did not enter the sheepfold to hunt."

Gore: "Maybe to feed the wolf cubs?"

Seeing that Jiang Wan was interested in their topic, Dari and Gore talked more: "Wolves will migrate here from the colder north in winter, and give birth to pups in early spring. The cubs should be weaned. It’s the end of May, and the wolves are busy raising their cubs. They live in dirt caves. Don’t be curious about those dirt caves you see on the road, let alone reach into them.”

Jiang Wan wanted to say that they definitely wouldn't, but when she thought of the curious and impulsive Li Jiazou, she felt that she couldn't talk too much.

"We will be careful." Jiang Wan finally said.

At seven o'clock, the other children also woke up and had breakfast. At 07:30, they set off from Gore's yurt on time and headed for the next location.

"We're going to find the Suli River, have lunch by the river beach, and then walk along the river, ending at the lower reaches of the river." Jiang Wan said, looking at the map.

Fang Yuqian remained taciturn as usual, Liu Tianxiang nodded and said yes, but Li Jiazuo didn't listen at all.

"There were wolves last night? That's too cool! It's a pity that I slept too hard! I should guard the sheepfold with Uncle Gore and fight wolves with the sheepdog!" Li Jiazuo said hahaha Punch into the air.

"What's so cool?" He Yufu glared at Li Jiazuo: "How scary are wolves! Fortunately, we are good boys, and wolves won't eat us."

"Then if I become a bad boy now, will the wolves come over?" Li Jia Zuojian said eccentrically.

Jiang Wan remembered Brother Dari's warning again, and said to him solemnly: "No, no, no, wolves are terrible, and they can bite your head off with one bite!"

Her original intention was to make Li Jiazhuo feel scared, but Li Jiazhuo didn't take it seriously at all and said, "Sister Xiaowan, you are too exaggerated."

"It's because wolves are so scary. Sister Xiaowan is afraid, and Xiaofu and Xiaoqian are also afraid, so you can't become evil and attract the wolf." Liu Tianxiang said, and he winked at Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan understood, and immediately said pitifully, "Brother Xiaozuo, we are afraid."

"That, that's fine." Li Jiazuo has not yet lost his sense of responsibility as an older child, "I will not turn bad and attract wolves, don't be afraid!"

That's what he said, but on the road ahead Li Jiazuo always looked around, looking into the wilderness from time to time, and Jiang Wan felt that he hadn't given up looking for the prairie wolf yet.

Jiang Wan had also seen wolves in Mang Valley before.

Compared with the tiger, the wolf is not the king of the forest, but it is also one of the overlords.But there are no tigers and lions on the grasslands, and wolves are the bravest animals.

According to Dari and the others, prairie wolves like to move in groups, usually there are a dozen to dozens of them, so Jiang Wan doesn't want to meet them at all.

But it happens—

"Ow~"

The sound of the wolf howling was deep and distant, as if it was coming from a very far away place, but also seemed to be very close to them.

After walking for nearly two hours since they set off, they had heard wolves howling three times.

For no reason, Jiang Wan felt that Lang Ming sounded more and more anxious.

The routes planned by the program group for them are all flat and easy to walk roads with a wide view, and the first group leads them one kilometer ahead of them with a guide to eliminate possible dangers on the road ahead. The program group is very considerate in terms of safety.

However, due to the unexpected howling of wolves, the program team was also discussing whether to suspend the filming. Although "only the sound of the wolf was heard but the wolf was not seen" along the way, no one dared to risk the safety of the children.

The barrage in the live broadcast room is also very tense:

[Is there a wolf? 】

【The howling of wolves makes my hair stand on end! 】

[Aren’t babies scared?So brave]

[The program group must follow, and it may be the effect of the program, how could there really be wolves]

"Hey - over there - can you help us -"

There was a shout in the distance. Because the other person was speaking English, Jiang Wan took a few seconds to understand what the other person meant.

"They are asking for help." Li Jiazhuo, whose English was slightly better, raised his voice and asked the other party: "What happened?"

"Our car is out of gas! Are you filming a show? Can you help us!"

The children looked at each other, and Li Jiazuo was enthusiastic: "Shall we go and have a look?"

Jiang Wan nodded obligingly. Anyway, the program team could see their situation through the camera, and someone would come over to deal with it later.

"It's so cool! You actually use so many drones to shoot!" A blond middle-aged man was very excited, "We are also anchors, what kind of program are you doing?"

"Can you speak slower?" Li Jiazou said that he couldn't keep up with the other party's speaking speed.

"Ouch--" Another wolf roar came from the distance, and the four foreigners shuddered in overreaction.

Jiang Wan looked around, she felt that the wolf cry was much closer than before.

She looked at the group of people in front of her warily, and suddenly heard a thin whimper, which sounded like some small animal.

Taking advantage of no one's attention, Jiang Wan followed the sound to the other side of the foreigner's car, opened the door, and saw an iron cage under the rear seat.

Three wolf pups huddled in the cage.
