Chapter 121 - 121 Scared Away
121 Scared Away
The huge black wolf king turned around and led the way. Mo Ruyue followed behind it and walked out of the cave.
At this time, it had been a while since she entered the mountain. In another two hours, the sky would be bright. She was afraid that she wouldn’t have enough time to go out of the mountain to hunt.
Mo Ruyue calculated in her heart that she could go to a place near the foot of the mountain, catch some yellow sheep and send them to the restaurant. She couldn’t get up early to attend the evening market and enter the city empty-handed.
She also did not expect that she would be brought to their nest by the wolves to treat the sick wolves. This had messed up her previous plans.
“Those wolves are very sick, but I can’t come into the mountains every day to feed them medicine. I can only say that it depends on their luck.”
Mo Ruyue had already regarded the black wolf king as a creature with intelligence that she could communicate with, so she talked to it on her own, not caring if the wolf could really understand.
However, when she saw the black wolf king’s eyes darken, she knew that it really understood.
She would often hear strange legends in the deep mountains and old forests, such as ginseng becoming a spirit, wild beasts worshiping the moon, and so on. Mo Ruyue used to think that it was just a fantasy novel, but after seeing the black wolf king’s performance, she realized that it was not a groundless rumor.
“I’ll leave you some water.”
Mo Ruyue didn’t know why but she suddenly felt compassion. Helping people might cause trouble, but if she helped wild beasts, she wouldn’t have such worries.
She pulled out a wooden basin half the size of a human from the space and filled it with spring water. She said to the black wolf king, “This water more or less has some healing effects. Although I can’t come here every day to boil medicine, with this spring water, it should have some effect.”
“Forget it, it’ll be troublesome for you to send the spring water in. I’ll go again. Anyway, we shouldn’t be able to catch any large prey at this time.”
Mo Ruyue had originally planned to leave after putting down the wooden basin, but when she thought of the winding path in the cave, and the wolves only had mouths and claws, unlike humans who had hands, it would be very troublesome to drag the wooden basin. It was even possible that the water in the wooden basin might be spilled.
She hesitated for a moment. Since she was ready to do something good, she would do it to the end.
Mo Ruyue put the wooden basin back into the space and turned to walk into the cave.
When she walked out of the cave again, the sky outside was a little brighter. She should have left after putting down the basin in the cave, but when she saw the two wolf cubs starting to have a fever and were still excreting blood in their unconscious state, she couldn’t help it.
She couldn’t just let go halfway through saving a person, let alone an animal. If she left, the two wolf cubs would be dead.
There were antibiotics and fever medicine in the medical space. Mo Ruyue gave the two most seriously ill wolf cubs medicine and injections, then made them drink the spring water from the space. After doing everything she could, she turned and left.
When she reached the entrance of the cave again, she was stunned by the scene in front of her. There were a few dead yellow sheep, wild deer, and even two foxes on the ground!
The foxes were obviously dead, but there were no external injuries on their bodies. It was unknown how the wolves had killed them without any injuries.
Mo Ruyue thought that this was the breakfast that the wolf pack had prepared for themselves, so she didn’t say anything. However, when she was about to leave, she was blocked by the black wolf king.
It used its claws to touch the pile of yellow sheep at its feet and pushed them in Mo Ruyue’s direction.
“Eh? These things are for me?”
This time, Mo Ruyue was really surprised. She didn’t expect these things to be for her. Could it be that the black wolf king had understood her when she said that she didn’t have time to hunt, so it ordered the wolf pack to hunt these wild animals as a reward?
The black wolf nodded slightly and pushed the yellow sheep toward her again.
This time, Mo Ruyue had already confirmed its intentions. She accepted this batch of prey without any hesitation. After all, she did not have enough time to hunt now. Now that she had this batch of prey, she could report it to “Guanglai Tower.”
It wasn’t the first time she put things in and out of her interspace in front of a pack of wolves. Wolves couldn’t speak and wouldn’t tell on her, so she put all the prey into her interspace.
When it was time to go down the mountain, she would use the tow truck and rope to pull the prey back home and load the truck. However, she had to set off to go down the mountain now. Otherwise, it would be really bright when she reached the county.
After putting away all the prey, two larger wolves came out and turned around, wagging their tails. They turned back and motioned for Mo Ruyue to follow them, obviously to lead her out.
Mo Ruyue nodded slightly to the black wolf king, and then shot out the hook rope. Just like when she came, she flew down the mountain.
The path down the mountain was more dangerous and steep, so it took Mo Ruyue a lot of time. When she could already see the village outside the forest, the two wolves stopped at the same time.
They would only stop here, and that was more than enough.
Mo Ruyue waved to the two wolves again. They immediately raised their heads and let out a long howl. They turned around, spread their claws, and ran into the forest, disappearing.
She took out the trailer and the rope from the space and piled the prey on it. Mo Ruyue had just dragged a cart of prey out of the forest when she saw Da Bao holding the sharp grass and rushing over.
“Mother? Mother!”
Da Bao had heard the wolf’s howl. He had always been concerned about Mo Ruyue’s safety. When he heard the wolf’s howl, he couldn’t help it. At that time, he couldn’t care about anything else and rushed out with his straw fork, thinking that he might be able to help Mo Ruyue.
He completely didn’t expect to see the scene of Mo Ruyue dragging a cart full of prey down the mountain. His worry and surprise suddenly exploded, making him let his emotions go for the first time and run wildly towards Mo Ruyue.
“Da Bao? Why are you here?”
Mo Ruyue was shocked by Da Bao’s appearance. Fortunately, the two wolves had sent her back just now. If they were hostile, then wouldn’t Da Bao be walking right into the muzzle of a gun?
“Mother, I heard a wolf’s howl just now. It was so close! Are you alright? Did you run into a wolf?”
Da Bao ran closer and stopped hesitantly. He looked at Mo Ruyue nervously, afraid that he would see any wounds or blood on her body.
Her mother would get up in the middle of the night to go hunting in the mountains, wasn’t it to fulfill her promise to the restaurant and to earn money to support the family? If she encountered any danger because of this, then they …
Da Bao did not dare to think about it anymore. Those nightmarish days of the past must never come back. In order to not let such a thing happen, he was willing to pay any price.
“I’m fine. There was a wolf howl just now, but it was scared away by my weapon.”
Mo Ruyue casually found an excuse. Da Bao was very clear about her martial strength. She was able to bring a giant tiger back alone, so how could she not be able to deal with two mere wolves?
Da Bao was relieved after hearing her words and seeing that there were no wounds or bloodstains on her body.
