Two hundred and fifty of them helped hold the ram back. The remaining wolves quickly stepped forward and successfully hunted the sheep that slipped through the net.
Last year's wolf-tiger war caused heavy losses to the large wolf pack, which had more than 30 adult wolves. Seven wolves were lost at once. Fortunately, there were sub-adult wolves like Ermao who filled the gap in time, so the strength of the wolf pack was not
How much to reduce.
There is a clear hierarchy in the wolf pack, and wolves with high status not only have the right to mate, but can also be the first to share in the fruits of victory and eat the plump prey. As for wolves with low status, when food is insufficient, they often cannot eat any scraps.
This time, a total of three sheep were hunted, which was enough to feed the twenty wolves present.
So after a short rest, the hungry wolves swarmed up to share this delicious meal. As usual, the wolves with high status occupied the meaty parts and also enjoyed the delicious internal organs.
Two hundred and fifty, they also put in their efforts, so naturally they would not miss a bite to eat. However, they were not hungry, so they stopped eating after two bites of meat, and lay down not far away to rest.
Song Xixi ignored them and kept staring at Da Mao.
Da Mao looked back and forth, and finally, with his tail between his legs, he cautiously walked up to Yi Zhu Mao and Er Mao, trying to get in between his mother and sister to share the prey.
Unexpectedly, as soon as its head stretched out, a bunch of hair stained with blood suddenly became angry and bit its head mercilessly, and a dull growl came out of its mouth: "Woo——"
"Woo~" Da Mao shrank into a ball in fear, pursed his ears and licked his mother's mouth in an attempt to win her mother's love.
Er Mao turned his head and glanced at his brother, then lowered his head coldly and continued to devour the half-eaten delicious offal, without any intention of dissuading him.
Not far away, Erbai Wu looked at the wolf son, worry showing in his blue eyes.
"Woo——"
A tuft of hair stared coldly at his child, his sharp animal eyes showing no warmth, only roaring one after another, determined to drive away the son who had been expelled from the wolf pack.
Probably knowing that flattering was useless, Da Mao got up in despair, came to Er Bai Wu with his tail hanging down, lowered his head and whined at the dog father.
Erbai Wu licked it comfortingly, then brought Da Mao to Song Xixi, staring at her eagerly, his thick tail wagging back and forth.
Song Xixi sighed, squatted down and touched the drooping hair: "Let's live at the foot of the mountain from now on."
She didn't know what happened, which made Da Mao afraid of prey and afraid to participate in hunting. She was excluded from the wolf pack and had no room to return to the wolf pack.
She only knew that if she forced Da Mao to stay in the mountains, it would most likely starve to death.
The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest.
In the evening, Song Xixi prepared meals, and Song Wufu and others, who had been working in the fields all afternoon, also returned.
Seeing Da Mao lying in the kitchen, Zhang Xiaomei was surprised and said: "Good boy, you didn't send it back?"
Song Xixi explained while serving rice: "From now on, Da Mao will live at the foot of the mountain. I will train him well and make him a dog that will not attack people and animals without any reason as soon as possible."
Huang Chunlan was a little scared of Da Mao, and couldn't help but worry: "It grew up in a wolf pile, and has been eating raw meat since its childhood. Now that it is an adult, can it be tamed by you to be like two hundred and fifty others?"
When people in my family come and go, if the big hair goes crazy and hurts someone, even if the father-in-law is the village chief and the niece has a lot of prestige in the village, I am afraid it will be difficult to save its life.
"In the future, I will take it to the back mountain to practice martial arts every day so that it can get familiar with my husband. When the time comes, I will leave it in the back mountain to keep him company."
Not many people go to the back mountain, so it would be perfect to slowly tame Da Mao there. This is the best way Song Xixi can think of for the time being.
The others thought about it and felt that this was not a bad idea. Master He already liked dogs, so having Da Mao as his companion would be a good fit for both parties.
Early the next morning, Song Xixi took the good wine he bought from the city and took Da Mao to the back mountain to practice martial arts with He Hong.
When He Hong saw Da Mao, he was obviously stunned for a moment, but he didn't ask anything. He went to the kitchen and took out a piece of meat bone and threw it to Da Mao. Da Mao looked at it coldly and stood beside Song Xixi without moving.
He Hong expected this and didn't care. He looked at Song Xixi and asked, "If domestication fails, what are you going to do?"
Song Xixi patted the wolf's head: "Teach it how to hunt small animals, and then release it back into the forest."
Last night, she specially caught a chicken and tried it, and found that Da Mao was not afraid of such small prey, and its bite was no different from that of a real wolf.
There are many pheasants and rabbits on the mountain. As long as it learns the catching skills, you don't have to worry about it starving to death if you release it later.
However, wolves will be very lonely when they are born, and there is a high probability that no female wolf will take a fancy to it and breed with it.
With Song Xixi as a communication bridge, He Hong was also very patient with Da Mao. Half a month later, Da Mao accepted He Hong's feeding; a month later, he accepted He Hong's touch and was willing to stay in the back mountain overnight.
In this way, Song Xixi breathed a sigh of relief and no longer carried Da Mao in and out like a thief every day.
Once Da Mao is completely domesticated, he will be able to fully integrate into Song Jia'ao's life as a dog.
The grass grows and the orioles fly in March. After a late spring cold, the temperature rises steadily. The Song family took off their thick cotton-padded jackets and put on light jackets.
In the evening, looking at the brilliant sunset in the west, Song Wufu asked: "Baby, last year you said it was too late to plant green and red peppers and Chaotian peppers. Now that the weather is getting warmer, can we sow these seeds?"
Song Xixi has experience growing green and red peppers and Chaotian peppers. Naturally, she needs to be consulted on how to grow these two crops.
"It's okay to plant them now, but to be prudent, we can germinate them first like potatoes. This way, if the weather is abnormal, we have time to keep them warm."
Song Xixi learned the planting tips of watermelon and pepper from 001, and knew that it is feasible to germinate in advance. When the time comes, transplant the seeds into the ground with the soil attached, and the survival rate will be higher than directly spreading the seeds.
Song Wufu is a veteran in farming. He knew this method was feasible as soon as he heard what his little granddaughter said: "Okay, just germinate the land behind the house. Green and red peppers and Chaotian peppers together are enough."
