Chapter 142 It wants to drink milk, right?
Zhou Hanzhang's mind raced as he considered his next move, when he heard Gu Qingfeng say, "Should we run?"
"do not want!"
Zhou Hanzhang lowered his voice, "If you want to be chased by these wolves to the death, then run."
Gu Qingfeng was also trembling slightly, "No, it can't be that bad, can it?"
"If you don't want to die, listen to me." Zhou Hanzhang couldn't let that fool Gu Qingfeng ruin things at this crucial moment.
Zhou Hanzhang slowly stood up, trying to overcome his fear, and looked at the pack of wolves in front of him.
She caught a glimpse of Gu Qingfeng trembling uncontrollably out of the corner of her eye, and immediately reached out a hand to grab him. "Don't be afraid."
"Nonsense! How could I be afraid!" Gu Qingfeng was still putting on a brave face, refusing to admit it no matter what.
However, when he grasped Zhou Hanzhang's hand in return, his hand soon became sweaty.
Zhou Hanzhang frowned, but ultimately did not let go of his hand.
"When, have you encountered this situation before?"
"No, but some people in our village have encountered it before, but none of them have been able to come back."
It would have been better not to say it at all, but now that it's been said, everyone present is even more frightened.
“I remember my father saying that if we encounter a pack of wolves while marching, we must shout loudly.”
"...The key is that if we shout loudly now, who will come to save us?" Zhou Hanzhang really didn't want to pay attention to him.
"No, that's not what I meant. I meant that wolves are afraid of loud noises. If we don't have gongs or drums, we can shout loudly, which might scare them away."
The information flashed through Zhou Hanzhang's mind. She had indeed heard of it before, but now they were facing a pack of wolves, not a single wolf or a few wolves. This method simply wouldn't work.
It might even make the wolf pack think they want to attack, thus causing them to attack the group.
"Let's not rush. Do we have any flint?"
Yes, yes, yes.
Gu Qingfeng quickly took out a flint from his bundle. "But it's no use having a flint now, there's nothing around here that can be burned."
It has to be said that everyone is getting a little anxious now.
Shi He gritted his teeth, took off his coat, and handed it to Gu Qingfeng, saying, "Burn my clothes."
Just as Gu Qingfeng was about to make a move, he noticed that Zhou Hanzhang hadn't let go of his hand. He was about to ask what was going on when Zhou Hanzhang looked at the pack of wolves in front of him and said, "Wait a minute."
The two found it very strange. In this situation, instead of racing against time, they were wasting time, which was really not like Zhou Hanzhang's style.
Zhou Hanzhang didn't say anything more, and slowly walked in front of He Shi. "You guys slowly back away first."
When Shi He saw Zhou Hanzhang step forward, he was startled and exclaimed, "Young Master!"
Zhou Hanzhang stretched his hand back, making a gesture to stop him from getting closer, then slowly took out some dried meat from his bundle and put it in his hand, slowly approaching the wolf pack.
As they got closer, Zhou Hanzhang could see clearly that the pack of wolves had come with a snow-white alpha wolf.
I couldn't see them clearly from a distance, but I felt that these wolves were different from the wolf packs that attacked people in the animal documentaries I had seen before, so I thought I would get closer to take a look.
Sure enough, the snow-white wolf was carrying a tiny newborn wolf cub in its mouth.
Seeing Zhou Hanzhang approach, it placed the wolf cub on the ground and whimpered at him.
Zhou Hanzhang couldn't understand what it was calling, but it didn't seem to have any malicious intent.
Seeing that Zhou Hanzhang didn't move, the wolf king howled at him twice more, and then slowly approached him.
Zhou Hanzhang was filled with indescribable fear, but he dared not run around and could only endure it while waiting for the wolf king to approach.
When the wolf king arrived, Zhou Hanzhang tremblingly handed over the dried meat in his hand.
"This is delicious, but we don't have much, it probably won't be enough for your people. So, I'll bring you some more food when I go out later..."
She didn't care whether the wolf king could understand her or not, she just spoke anyway.
Strangely, the wolf king only glanced at the jerky in her hand, then gave her a strange expression.
Zhou Hanzhang seemed to be...disgusted?
The wolf king didn't pay attention to the jerky. Instead, he lowered his head and bit her trouser leg, dragging her to the side of the wolf cubs. Then, he suddenly looked up at Zhou Hanzhang.
This terrified Zhou Hanzhang, and even He Shi and Gu Qingfeng behind him stopped breathing, but dared not make a sound, for fear that the wolf would attack.
However, the wolf king only bit Zhou Hanzhang's sleeve, dragged her down, all the way to her hand on the wolf cub, and then whimpered twice.
"You... want me to help you take care of the child?"
It has to be said that Zhou Hanzhang is right.
The wolf king seemed quite pleased to hear this and howled twice more.
As soon as the sound was heard, the other wolves behind them placed several pheasants and some dry firewood next to the wolf cubs, and then obediently retreated back to the main group.
The pheasant explanation makes sense, but what's with the dry firewood?
Just as Zhou Hanzhang was puzzled, the wolf king saw that Zhou Hanzhang's hand had touched his cub, stared at it for a while, and then barked at Zhou Hanzhang again.
Zhou Hanzhang understood immediately. "I don't know if you've encountered any difficulties, but since you trust me, I'll help you raise it for a while, and you can come back to pick it up later."
Whether the wolf king understood or not, it turned around and went back after Zhou Hanzhang said those words.
As it walked back, it kept glancing back at its wolf cub. Zhou Hanzhang wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he could actually read the reluctance in its eyes.
After the wolf king and his pack left, Zhou Hanzhang belatedly collapsed to the ground, and when he touched his forehead, he was shocked to find himself covered in a cold sweat.
She held the wolf cub left behind by the wolf king in her arms. The cub was not afraid of strangers at all. When she picked it up, it snuggled up in her arms and even stuck out its tongue to lick her face.
When Shi He and Gu Qingfeng saw that the wolf pack had left, they quickly came forward. After looking around and seeing that Zhou Hanzhang was alright, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"This wolf king mobilized so many wolves just to send us a wolf cub?" Gu Qingfeng couldn't understand it at all.
Zhou Hanzhang held the little wolf cub in his arms, watching it play around in front of him. One of its eyes was silver-green and the other was bright red, which looked a bit strange, but it was also quite cute.
Its fur is sparse, probably because it was born recently, and it still has some stray hairs. Its limbs are short, and it looks ugly and cute, with no trace of the Snow Wolf King's genes.
However, Zhou Hanzhang didn't mind. Since she had agreed to help the Snow Wolf King take care of the cubs, she would raise them. Although she couldn't see the Snow Wolf King's genes yet, she was already very fond of those eyes.
"They must have run into some difficulties. Now that they've been brought here, let's take good care of them," Zhou Hanzhang said.
"But how are we going to raise it now? It's so small, it needs to drink milk, right?"
"How about we cook some rice porridge and mix it with some dried meat to feed him first? We can talk about it later when we get out," Zhou Hanzhang said.
