219 Delivery
Zhao Zhan’s grip on the hilt of his knife did not loosen. he followed the pack of wolves for two hours in the forest.
It had snowed some time ago, and the road in the forest was full of snowy mud. The snow and water mixed with the mud, and there was a thin wolf in the middle that was directly stuck in the mud.
The pack of wolves looked at him in unison. Zhao Zhan braced himself and walked over to pull the wolf’s claws out of the mud.
Zhao Zhan followed them all the way to the temporary resting place of the wolves.
When he found the corpses of several wolves in the middle of their habitat, and a few female wolves whimpering as if they were on the verge of death, Zhao Zhan finally understood why the wolves were looking for him.
Perhaps it was due to the lack of food, but the female wolves in front of him were so thin that they were only a layer of skin and bones. Their stomachs were bulging, but the female wolves were so weak that they looked like they were going to die the next second. It was obvious that they had no strength to give birth to wolf cubs.
This pack of wolves wanted him to help deliver the baby.
At this point, Zhao Zhan had been completely surrounded by the wolves.
If he wanted to run, he would not be able to escape the fate of being torn to pieces.
Zhao Zhan hurriedly searched his pockets and took out a small porcelain bottle, recalling the item that Jiaojiao had forced him to bring with him before he cameThis was the pill Doctor Sun had given him.
It was said that when the body was extremely weak, this could keep people alive for a short time.
There was no other choice. Zhao Zhan clenched the porcelain bottle in his hand and tried to feed half a spoonful to each of the weak female wolves. The rest could only be left to fate.
The mother wolf’s gloomy eyes slowly brightened up because of the sustenance.
After the first wolf cub was born, Zhao Zhan’s eyes lit up. He carefully cleaned up the mother wolf and placed the wolf cub in her arms.
Zhao Zhan was busy for almost four hours.
The wolf pack surrounding him gradually dispersed. After all the wolf cubs were born, one of the wolves brought a frozen rabbit to the mother wolf’s mouth.
This pack of wolves had obviously encountered heavy snow during their migration in the mountains and had been starving for quite a few days. They also happened to run into a female wolf giving birth, so they ran to Willow Village because there was Zhao Zhan’s scent there.
Even a human could be so famished that they would not choose what to eat, not to mention a beast.
After Zhao Zhan descended the mountain, he had Lizheng organize the others to kill the chickens and harvest the meat. He prepared a few baskets full of meat and then went up the mountain again before dark. He dumped all the meat in the baskets not far from the pack of wolves and silently retreated far away with his bow and arrows.
Zhao Zhan found a tree and climbed up to observe from afar.
The smell of raw meat stimulated the wolves’ taste buds. They madly tore at the meat. When all the meat was gone, the wolves howled in the direction of Willow Village as if they were psychic. Then, they turned around and protected the mother wolf and the young wolf as they walked deep into the mountains.
This way, the calamity of wolves should be resolved.
Zhao Zhan felt as if a big weight had been lifted off his chest. He then went to the place where he often brought Chengfeng up to the mountains and called out Chengfeng’s name.
After an unknown amount of time, when the light in the forest dimmed, Zhao Zhan realized that he had run pretty deep into the mountains.
The cold wind made him shiver. Zhao Zhan let out a long sigh in his heart. He clenched his bow and arrow, planning to go down the mountain for the time being. Right then…
“Aowu…”
The sound was getting closer and closer! Zhao Zhan raised his head in surprise and saw Chengfeng running towards him.
“Chengfeng!”
