He didn't know what his wife's plan was, but seeing that she was picking chestnuts happily, he thought she could continue picking chestnuts for a while. It was not yet noon, and they could still stay in the mountains for a while. The drought issue had not been fully investigated, and he also wanted to go to the upstream of the waterfall to take a look.

He told his wife about it. Anyway, the upper stream was not far from where his wife was picking chestnuts, and he could still see his wife by standing on it.

Mi Youjiao waved at him and told him to go first while she picked up the chestnuts and went over later.

Tang Zhenjun looked at his wife lovingly, then turned around to check the drought situation of the water source.

The mountain they climbed was called Baibao Mountain because of its rich resources that supported many people. The largest waterfall on the mountain was called Lingbao Waterfall.

With this waterfall as the center, there used to be many animals of all sizes living in the area. In the past, as long as you went to the source of the waterfall, you could see all kinds of mountain elves along the way.

Today, the mountains seemed particularly quiet. Normally, one would have gained a lot by walking here. But now, in Tang Zhenjun's backpack, there were only pheasants and rabbits that he hunted when he walked with his wife.

This situation is really unusual considering his skills.

Standing by the waterfall, looking at the surroundings, Tang Zhenjun frowned. Is the source of the waterfall in front of him still the origin of the waterfall? It's not even a stream. Unlike before, there is no waves, let alone any living creatures in it.

There was no bird around, and he was feeling a little helpless when a warm little hand patted his shoulder from behind. Tang Zhenjun turned around and saw that it was his wife, who was looking at him with a sweet smile.

Mi Youjiao said, "Is this the source of the waterfall? Why is it so calm? It's not even a stream!" As she spoke, she stomped on the water in front of her. It looked like a small stream, struggling to flow. No wonder it was only a thin line wide when they stood below.

From what she saw now, the waterfall was as wide as a finger when standing vertically. It was already a great favor for them that they could see it, not to mention there was a pool of water below, although that pool was now very shallow.

Mi Youjiao wandered around the source of the waterfall but didn't find any direct cause of the drought. It was just inexplicable, the drought just happened like that.

She had seen waterfalls before, and the magnificent scene was completely different from what she saw now.

At the source of the waterfall, vitality is disappearing. Even the aquatic plants that were originally full of vitality on the ground have lost their original fresh colors. All plants look so dejected.

The young couple looked confused. Mi Youjiao pulled the corner of Tang Zhenjun's clothes and said, "Brother Junbao, I, I seemed to hear a sound just now, over there." She stretched out her hand not far away.

Tang Zhenjun took her towards the source of the sound. Not far away, they saw a big tree with a big hole under the tree. The sound came from the hole.

The young couple looked at each other, suspicious in their hearts. There were no living creatures around, so how could there be signs of life here? They slowed down and slowly approached the tree hole.

As soon as they approached the tree hole, they found a pair of golden eyes inside the tree hole, staring at them.

Not knowing if the animals inside were still aggressive, the two men stopped.

After a long pause, Mi Youjiao slowly stepped forward, and the two of them carefully cleared away the weeds in front of the tree hole. Then the humming sounds of unknown animals came from the tree hole.

Tang Zhenjun pulled Mi Youjiao behind him and said, "Stand back, I'll go in and take a look first."

Mi Youjiao looked at the small cave and was speechless. Well, for the man’s desire to protect her, she was a weak and helpless young wife.

Tang Zhenjun had already put most of his body into the tree hole. His hands touched something furry and felt warm. The light inside was not good, but he could feel that it was alive. It had a hot and wet tongue and was licking his hands. It looked very small.

Tang Zhenjun, who had no idea of ​​the situation, picked up the living creatures together with the straw nest underneath. The two little guys in his palms looked like newborn puppies, but how could domestic puppies be in such a place? Also, their fur was white.

Mi Youjiao stared at the little creature in her man's hand. She couldn't let it go. It was so furry and cute. She said hesitantly, "Isn't this a dog?"

Tang Zhenjun: "This should be a little wolf."

Mi Youjiao was shocked: "This is a little wolf, the big wolf should be around here, let's go." She also had a little common sense. Wolves are typical social animals and are very protective of their cubs. What kind of situation would make them leave two cubs here alone?

Or maybe the big one hasn't gone far and is still nearby. If that's the case, the situation for both of them would be very dangerous.

Tang Zhenjun naturally knew this, and said decisively: "Then let's leave here quickly."

Mi Youjiao nodded: "Okay." Looking at the two little ones in his hands, they didn't see any big ones around. If they left the two little ones alone and the big one didn't come back, they would probably lose the two little ones.

She looked at her man hesitantly and said, "What about these two little guys?"

Tang Zhenjun thought for a moment, put the two little ones into his backpack and said, "Let's take a look around here."

Mi Youjiao hummed softly, and the young couple carefully patrolled around the tree hole. After a while, Tang Zhenjun found traces of animals fighting on the ground, as well as white hair and dried blood.

The two waited for a while at the bloodstain and found a big white wolf and a big black bear lying on the ground, both of them showing no signs of life.

Mi Youjiao stepped forward, reached out and touched it, then turned to look at her man, "Is this edible? It's still fresh."

Tang Zhenjun was silent for a moment before asking, "Wife, do you want to eat a bear or a wolf?"

They were now certain that there were no larger animals around, so they could take the two smaller ones home to raise.

Mi Youjiao: "Let's bury it. The mother wolf must have fought with the bear to protect her cubs."

Tang Zhenjun: "Let's bury it." As he said that, the young couple started to dig a hole together to bury the body.

The two men did not have the right tools, so digging was not convenient. After a lot of effort, they finally dug a hole and could barely bury the big white wolf.

When the soil was half filled, a white shadow flashed by not far away.

The couple was so nervous that their hair stood on end. They thought that the other big wolves might have returned. They froze in place, not daring to move.

They saw the bushes in the distance swaying and slowly getting closer, as if some animal was walking towards them.

The couple was so nervous that they held their breath. The animal stopped when it came to them. It was actually a big white wolf with a completely snow-white body. It was staring at the couple with a pair of fierce wolf eyes. Around it, several other animals appeared vaguely.

Under the gaze of this pair of ferocious wolf eyes, which seemed ready to pounce on them at any time, the couple were immediately drenched in sweat.

Seeing that the big white wolf didn't move, Mi Youjiao reached out and tugged at the man, saying, "Brother Junbao, give me the little wolf in your backpack."

Tang Zhenjun paused, reached out to take off the backpack on his back, took out the two wolf cubs in the backpack, held them in both hands, and gently put them on the ground. Then he took his wife to the side and looked at the big white wolf.

The big white wolf looked at them vigilantly and walked forward slowly. The wolves around him followed closely and were in an attacking posture. If the two bipeds made any move, they would tear them to pieces without mercy.

The big white wolf walked up to the little wolf cub, sniffed and licked it, making a whining sound. Then it went to the pile of earth where the wolf was buried, circled around it several times, and dug the earth with its claws, whimpering miserably.

After a while, he stopped digging and went to the wolf cubs, nudging them with his nose. Tang Zhenjun pulled Mi Youjiao and slowly retreated into the distance.

The big white wolf looked up at them but did not stop them. The wolves around it also stayed by their side.

Tang Zhenjun and Mi Youjiao walked a long way away and could no longer see the wolves, so they relaxed.

Sitting down on the ground, Mi Youjiao felt that she could no longer stand up.

Tang Zhenjun lowered his head, looked at his young wife with a smile and said, "Do you want me to carry you?"

Mi Youjiao was about to speak when she heard a noise not far away. She was so scared that she jumped up and ran away. However, how could two legs outrun four legs?

In the blink of an eye, the two were surrounded by the wolves.

Mi Youjiao, Tang Zhenjun, don't be like this, they didn't kill the big white wolf!
