Dense Fog

The north wind stopped, and the mountains and forests were quiet.

It's not that Lin Wu and Wang Ye have never imagined this situation. When they saw the wolf claws in the coffee shop for the first time, they had such a premonition. On the way here, they even discussed how Wang Ye became The technical question of how the tiger will drive the little wolf, Lin Wu, for a ride afterwards.

But when everything really happened before their eyes, they were still stunned.

A complete wolf, you can't see any traces of humans on it.

... Is this really Tao Qiran?

Under the cedar, the tundra wolf suddenly moved.

It walked towards them, and every step it took on the snow was gentle and quiet.

The back rises and falls with walking, it is so vigorous and beautiful.

He obviously didn't believe that this was Tao Qiran, but Lin Wu stood where he was, watching it approaching step by step without feeling any fear.

It seemed that what was approaching was not a beast, but a beautiful dream.

The last time he felt this way was when he went on a night tour for the first time. He obeyed the unknown call, as if stepping on a soft dream, walked out of the dormitory, and fell into the embrace of the night.

The tundra wolf walked in front of them, but didn't stop, but walked past them and walked straight to the cabin.

Lin Wu looked down at the silver-gray fur gently brushing against his legs, and couldn't move his eyes any longer. His gaze followed its back until it disappeared into the door of the wooden house.

A few minutes later, a figure came out of the cabin.

It was no longer a tundra wolf, but Tao Qiran wrapped in a thick down jacket.

Uh, he can't be counted as coming out, because his feet are still standing inside the door, as if he doesn't want to take another step outside.

"Uncle..." Lin Wu finally made a sound, and wanted to ask if that was really you, but was preempted by Tao Qiran.

"Can you come in first, it's really cold outside." The tundra wolf, who was still majestic just now, wrapped himself in a down jacket like a rice dumpling.

"Let's go into the room and talk about it," Zhao Li chimed in, "He's really afraid of the cold."

Lin Wu wondered: "Don't tundra wolves live in cold regions?"

The tundra wolf, also known as the Siberian wolf.

As a professional with two Siberian classmates, a sled dog and a Siberian tiger, Lin Wu now has a deep understanding of the cold tolerance of Siberian animals.

Zhao Li: "When he turns into a wolf, he won't be afraid of the cold anymore."

Following Zhao Li, Lin Wu and Wang Ye walked into the wooden house for the first time.

A total of three rooms, together with the fence, surrounded the entire yard.

Zhao Li took them into the middle room.

Entering the door is a large heated kang. On one side of the kang is a kang cabinet. Through the glass cabinet door, you can see the neatly stacked bedding inside; The burning of the kang will provide heat for the whole kang, resisting the severe cold outside.

Tao Qiran sat on the hot kang, squinted his eyes comfortably, and did not forget to pat the side of the kang next to him: "Come and sit together, it's very warm."

Wait patiently for Lin Wu and Wang Ye to sit down on the kang.

Tao Qiran nodded: "Well, that's what you see."

Lin Wu: "..."

What is it!

"I can turn into a wolf." Tao Qiran smiled mischievously, as easily as talking about the weather, "but when I turn back into a human, it's a bit troublesome to wear clothes."

"How did you change?" Wang Ye asked impatiently.

"It's right here," Tao Qiran said, "If you want to ask me how I changed, I can't tell..."

It was not long after the holiday, and he had already lived in the mountains for a few days.

That day was the same as today, the weather was very cold, but the sun was particularly good.He took out the easel and just sat down when he saw a hare jumping into the woods.

"I put down the pen at that moment," Tao Qiran looked out of the window, the snow-capped mountains and the pines in the forest. A bystander, I want to feel, to blend in..."

As if fascinated, he followed the hare into the depths of the dense forest.

At that moment, he seemed to forget that he was human.

He is like a real wolf, smelling the breath of the hare, hearing the falling snow needles, he is no longer an intruder in this forest, but a part of it, embraced and accepted by nature.

He started to run, chasing the wind through the forest, chasing the snow blown by the wind, chasing the stream flowing in the mountain stream, listening to the sounds of all things in nature with his ears, remembering every tree and bush with his body He is looking for vitality, which is also the composition of this vitality. He yearns for a passionate life, and in this longing, he truly appreciates the passion of life!

"When I come to my senses, the sun has already set." Tao Qiran withdrew his eyes and looked at Wang Ye and Lin Wu, but he couldn't hide the light in his eyes that seemed to be jumping with life, "I also became a real wolf."

The forest at dusk is dark and unclear.

It got up from the soft snow, and in the field of vision was no longer a tree trunk, but a low shrub.

The down jacket and the clothes inside made it uncomfortable. After struggling for a long time, it got out of the layers of clothes.

The young tundra wolf shook its head and body, howling through the forest.

Not long after, wolves howled from the far side of the mountain, responding to the same kind one after another, as if feeling the joy of a new life.

Wang Ye: "That's it?"

Tao Qiran: "That's it."

Wang Ye: "Why did you become completely lost in the middle?"

Tao Qiran spread his hands.

Wang Ye chose the next best thing: "What about you now, can you freely switch between humans and wolves?"

Tao Qiran: "Yes."

Wang Ye: "How do you feel when you change?"

"Bones will be very painful." Tao Qiran said the biggest distress without thinking, "But it can be over if you bear with it. It's temporary, and it will be fine after the shape is stable."

Wang Ye: "Can you change if you want, or do you need a process?"

Tao Qiran: "The process?"

Wang Ye: "Postures, formulas or spells."

Tao Qiran: "...I am awakened from the wild, not transformed into a magic fairy."

Having a headache from Wang Ye's question, Tao Qiran simply looked at Lin Wu.

It seems that the nephew has not recovered from the shock.

Tao Qiran stretched out his hands to pinch Lin Wu's face: "Hey——"

Lin Wu was shocked, and came back to his senses: "Huh?"

Tao Qiran was both distressed and funny: "Your classmates are going to ask for an in-depth interview, what don't you want to ask?"

Lin Wu covered half of his cheek, but his brain was still functioning sluggishly.

If it is said that the awakening of the wild has shaken the global evolution view, then Tao Qiran's awakening is a complete subversion, shattering, and starting over.

The impact was too strong, and Lin Wu needed time to digest it.

At the same time, he also admired Wang Ye for being able to ask so many questions at this time.

Lin Wu silently looked around.

Classmate Wang is still staring at his uncle, as if he feels that if he keeps his eyes on for a while, he will be able to see the mystery.

For the first time, Lin Wu saw so many emotions in Wang Ye's eyes.

Those eyes that were always lazy, as if they were not interested in anything, are now full of envy, longing, excitement, and unreasonable annoyance and disappointment.

The room was quiet.

Only the crackling of matches burning under the kang.

Suddenly, everyone raised their heads together, four pairs of eyes were alert at the same time.

There are voices outside.

It's very subtle, like some kind of beast is deliberately stepping lightly, stepping on the snow and approaching quietly.

"You stay here and don't move." Zhao Li got up and was about to walk out of the house.

Tao Qiran quickly grabbed him, and followed him to the ground: "Let's go together."

Lin Wu and Wang Ye looked at each other, and immediately jumped off the kang.

In the barren mountains and wild mountains, even if they are beasts, there are four of them. No, Tao Qiran can switch between humans and wolves.

The four of them walked out of the house and came to the entrance of the courtyard. Instead of going out, they guarded the courtyard door and looked vigilantly in the direction of the sound.

Obliquely ahead, there is a dense fir tree, something is walking among them, and the outer branches bent by the snow are trembling slightly.

Lin Wu swallowed nervously, his wild intuition felt the threat of the approacher, and sounded an alarm in his heart.

The trembling of the cedar branches became more and more obvious, and the snow on them was almost shaken off.

A piece of fur flashed through a gap in the needles.

Lin Wu narrowed his eyes very quickly, and caught the color.

Gray base with black spots.

What kind of beast is this?

Lin Wu frowned in confusion.There are only so many ferocious beasts on Changbai Mountain, bears, tigers, wild boars, etc., which one has such markings?

"Shhh-"

The outermost fir branches were squeezed open, and a leopard with black spots on a gray background got out from inside.

Muscular limbs, a big furry tail, and ice-blue feline eyes.

……snow leopard? !

Lin Wu's eyes widened in surprise.

He remembered that the snow leopard branch was located in high-altitude mountains, such as Tianshan in Xinjiang and Qinghai. Although the book said that there were also some distribution in low-altitude mountains in Inner Mongolia, but Changbai Mountain?seriously?

Shouldn't the King of the Mountain in the Northeast be the Siberian tiger, the blind bear?

The snow leopard that got out of the woods did not approach any further, but stood in place, tilting its head and staring at the four people at the entrance of the hospital as if observing the situation of the enemy.

Only then did Lin Wu notice that there was something on the snow leopard's back.

It looks like a... a designer backpack covered in iconic logo prints?

The moment Tao Qiran and Zhao Li saw the snow leopard clearly, they relaxed at the same time.

"It's okay," Tao Qiran leisurely leaned against the hospital door, "I know you."

The snow leopard let out a low growl, as if it was dissatisfied, it turned around and went back into the dense fir trees.

There was a rustling in the bushes.

When she came out again, she was already a tall woman with short hair, wearing a jacket, high boots, and carrying a backpack, looking neat and dashing.

"What's the matter with these two boys?" Her voice pierced through before she approached, and her dissatisfied gaze went back and forth between Lin Wu and Wang Ye, "Tao Qiran, you promised to wait for us obediently!"

we?

Lin Wu reflexively looked around, is there anyone else?

"I'm very obedient." Tao Qiran raised his hands to show his innocence, "I've been staying on the mountain." After speaking, he looked at the woman's boots again, curious, "Your boots are also in the backpack gone?"
