Chapter 2 Wolf Cubs

The weather is getting colder and colder, winter has arrived, and the entire Wangping Mountain area is covered with a thick layer of white snow. This season is the slack period when there is no farm work in the fields. Farmers from surrounding villages will go up to the mountains to hunt.

, hunting some hares, wild boars and the like down the mountain in exchange for some money to support the family.

On this day, old man Zhang who lives in Qingmu Village at the foot of the mountain invited several farmers from the same village to come together. They all brought their own hunting tools and went into the mountain early in the morning, preparing to hunt some wild animals. Because everyone brought only a few

They only had simple weapons such as forks, sticks, knives, and arrows, so several families had to hunt together to catch the prey, and they did not dare to hunt some fierce beasts.

After chasing a muntjac just now, Old Man Zhang ran away from several other hunters. After chasing to the southeast for a while, Old Man Zhang stopped and looked around to see that there was no movement of any animals around.

I sat down next to the tree and prepared to take a rest.

He took out the dry food from his waist that his wife had prepared for him when he set out in the morning, and was about to take a few bites.

Suddenly he caught a glimpse of an animal's head poking out from under an old dead tree in the distance. After a closer look, he was sure it was a wolf. He quickly hid behind the tree, held his breath, and slowly looked around.

A circle. In this season, wolves usually travel in packs, and it is rare to see a lone wolf. If you are discovered by a pack of wolves, your life will be at risk.

No wolves were found around, so Old Man Zhang looked towards the old tree again. After looking around for a while, the wolf leaned out from behind the old tree and fled into the distance. After a while,

The wolf came back with a mouthful of dead leaves and got behind the old tree.

After going back and forth like this twice, Old Man Zhang determined that this was just a lone wolf and decided to hunt it.

When the wolf leaned out from behind the tree again, Old Man Zhang had already raised his bow and aimed an arrow at it. With a "swish" sound, the arrow shot out and went straight towards the old wolf.

Hearing the sound of the bowstring, the wolf immediately ducked down instinctively and looked back. With a "bang" sound, he saw the sharp arrow deeply inserted into the tree trunk. The wolf was startled, and immediately jumped up and ran away.

Instantly disappeared into the woods.

After seeing the wolf running away, Old Man Zhang shook his head with a wry smile, lamenting that his skills were not as good as before. He walked towards the old tree, preparing to take back the arrow he had just shot.

When he came to the old tree, he pulled the arrow out of the trunk and put it into his quiver. He turned around and came behind the tree.

The old man turned behind the tree and found a big hole under the trunk. There were some dead branches and leaves scattered at the hole, which were probably carried by the wolf.

He suddenly saw a branch near the entrance of the cave move. There seemed to be living things in the cave. Could it be the offspring of the old wolf or the prey he had hunted hidden in the tree hole?

He bent down and looked into the cave. Through the dead branches and leaves at the entrance of the cave, he saw that there seemed to be a white living thing moving inside. He didn't know what it was.

He simply stuck his head into the hole and took a closer look. This was incredible. What kind of wolf boy was this? He was clearly a baby?! He saw a naked baby curled up on a rag.

Under a pile of dead branches and leaves, the baby stretched out his little arms and legs to gesture in the air from time to time, making a "beep" sound in his mouth.

Lao Zhang was so surprised that he quickly closed his eyes and shook his head, then opened his eyes and looked carefully, and then he quickly got up from the ground.

What the heck, there is a baby hidden in the wolf's den. Whose baby is this? The wolf grabbed the baby, why didn't he eat it? In such a cold day, the baby didn't freeze to death? I can't believe my eyes

ah?!

Lao Zhang leaned into the wolf's cave again and took a clear look this time. He was indeed a healthy little boy. He was dirty and smelly, with the smell of wolf's milk. It seemed that the wolf had not harmed the baby.

, and fed him with milk. The little boy was not afraid when he saw Lao Zhang coming in, and actually reached out to catch him.

Lao Zhang saw a red rope tied around the baby's neck. A round jade was tied to the red rope and fell on the dead leaf next to the child's head. It was crystal clear and emitted a green light in the dark hole.

At first glance, it looks like a top-quality jade.

Lao Zhang stretched out his hand and took off the jade from the baby. He put it in front of his eyes and saw that there were two brocades carved on the jade, rolling on the waves. The waves were crystal clear and the brocades were vivid. It was really the best.

Do it.

"Pisces?" Lao Zhang looked at this piece of jade and couldn't help but change his expression.

Old man Zhang hurriedly put away the jade, leaned into the cave, took the child out, put it into his cotton-padded cloak, looked around and saw that no one was there, and hurried straight down the mountain.

After old man Zhang took the baby home, he told his wife that he had picked it up on the road and that it might be an abandoned baby thrown away by someone else's family. His wife, Aunt Qin, really liked the baby and held the baby in her arms and looked at it from left to right.

I can't believe that someone threw such a well-behaved boy away.

"Perhaps your mother is poorer than my family. I'm afraid she'll starve to death. She's so pitiful." Aunt Qin said as she fed the prepared broth to the baby. "God has given us a son. Thank you, God."

Ah! Let’s just call him Tianci.”

"It's up to you," the old man replied. The two of them have been married for more than 20 years. They are almost fifty and have not yet given birth to a son and a half. It is such a great joy to have a son out of thin air. But the old man

It seems like something is bothering me and I can't feel happy.

The piece of jade seemed to indicate that the baby had an unusual origin, but what was the reason that caused this child, who had some connection with the once prominent family, to fall into the wolf's den?

People are puzzled to understand it.

Just a few days ago, Old Man Zhang heard that a major change had occurred in the capital. He said that Yuwen Haotian, the king of Zhenbei, was plotting a rebellion and actually joined forces with people outside the Great Wall to overthrow the Wu Dynasty. After his plot was foiled, he fled back to the north alone.

Although they tried to resist, the emperor ordered that the entire Yuwen family be executed. More than 300 people from top to bottom were killed. Dozens of officials, big and small, who were involved with the Yuwen family were also imprisoned. For a time, there was a bloody storm in the capital.

"Yu"'s expression changed, and he even spared the daughter of Yuwen's family who had married into the royal family, and hunted her all the way to the mountains of the Western Region before she was cut off. This was the end of the world's most prominent family except the royal family.

The family was actually exterminated.

Old man Zhang couldn't believe that the Yuwen family would rebel. He remembered that back then, the Yuwen family was one of the richest families in the world. They used their family's strength to help the weak country of Wu in the Western Regions develop and grow, and it became increasingly powerful. Wu Yu, the king of Wu at that time, could not believe it.

The prince worshiped Yuwen's eldest son, Yuwenbo, as his prime minister. With the help of Yuwenbo, the wise and unparalleled genius in the world, the Wu Kingdom defeated the six countries of the Central Plains and finally unified the world and established the current Dafeng Empire. Since then, the world has been peaceful.

, there has been no war for decades, the people are prosperous, live and work in peace and contentment, and there has been a scene of peace and prosperity for more than ten years. Naturally, the people of the world are very grateful to the savior Prime Minister Yu Wenbo of the current dynasty, such a founding father, and full of loyalty

How could a family be treasonous? And what kind of connection does this child, wearing a Pisces jade and born in a wolf's den, have with this family?

Thinking of this, Old Man Zhang decided to hide the jade and never mention it to outsiders. He also didn't mention it to Aunt Qin. He just planned to raise this son well.
