Lin Wanning played it vague and directly followed Lin Zhiyuan up the mountain.
Chen Shufen could only repeatedly instruct Lin Zhiyuan, "You're the elder brother. You must take good care of your younger sister. You know there are wolves in the back mountain. If anything happens to your sister, you'd better not come back either."
This really gave Lin Zhiyuan a huge headache. He was going to work in the forest farm. Where did he have so much time to watch Lin Wanning? Besides, Lin Wanning was almost twenty years old.
She wasn't a three - year - old baby that could be put in a carrying basket and wouldn't run away.
The most crucial thing was that Lin Wanning simply didn't listen to him. Although they came up the mountain together, as soon as he turned around, Lin Wanning disappeared.
This almost drove Lin Zhiyuan crazy. Just as Lin Zhiyuan was looking eagerly to see where Lin Wanning had run off to, Lin Bingwen also came to work.
"Did little sister run into the deep mountain again?" Although Lin Bingwen didn't have a very good relationship with Lin Wanning, after all, they were relatives. This kind of heartfelt concern was inevitable.
"She disappeared in the blink of an eye. Ah, I know there are wolves in the deep mountain, but she just doesn't listen."
Lin Zhiyuan scratched the back of his head irritably.
Lin Wanning, who had already taken the little snake and the little squirrel and got under the chestnut tree where she'd been last time, was lying on the ground, crossing her legs and munching on chestnuts. She couldn't have been more comfortable.
The little squirrel and the little snake were also having a great time. This place was like a utopia to Lin Wanning. Even if the villagers asked, she would just play it vague and deceive them about this place. Besides, the villagers didn't dare to come to this deep mountain.
She was lying on the grass. The autumn wind blew, and the leaves of the chestnut tree fell on her face.
Lin Wanning wiped off the chestnut leaves with an enjoyable look on her face. She then picked up the chestnut leaves on her face in a very relaxed manner and smelled them.
This feeling of being deeply alone with nature was just too wonderful... Just as Lin Wanning was sincerely sighing, she felt a warm liquid flowing on her neck.
Was it raining?
But why was the rain so thick and so warm?
A very bad premonition instantly swept over Lin Wanning. Goosebumps covered her whole body.
At this moment, she didn't dare to open her eyes. She just hoped that all this was just a hallucination.
But her neck was licked... A rough tongue with a stinky smell... Ah...
Lin Wanning couldn't stand it anymore. She stood up and screamed. But the moment she opened her eyes, she almost fainted.
She saw a wolf sticking out its tongue and breathing towards her. Its tail was completely different from a dog's. Its tail was tucked between its hind legs. There was no sign of it wagging its tail.
But it was a wolf. How could it wag its tail?
Lin Wanning felt like dying at this moment. Was this the so - called "not listening to the elders will lead to trouble"?
The little snake and the little squirrel had completely turned into cowards. They climbed up the tree branches and didn't dare to come down at all. They could only pray in their hearts that their master would be able to take care of herself.
Lin Wanning also wanted to take care of herself, but in front of her was a wolf, not a dog.
Her two legs couldn't stop shaking. She could barely stand steadily and almost fell.
However, this wolf didn't seem to want to attack Lin Wanning. Instead, it lowered its head and rubbed its head against Lin Wanning's leg. This scene seemed so familiar.
At this moment, the hairs on Lin Wanning's body stood up. But thinking that the little snake had also shown its friendliness to her in this way before, it meant that they wouldn't hurt her at all.
"Um... um... Do you have something to ask me?"
Lin Wanning stammered, her whole body trembling as she asked.
After the previous two times, Lin Wanning had also discovered that the small animals in the mountain seemed to be able to understand what she said and even her thoughts.
Sure enough, as soon as Lin Wanning asked this question, the wolf simply nodded, and then directly howled into the valley, "Awooo~"
This howl almost scared Lin Wanning's heart out.
"Can you please not howl? I'm scared. I'm afraid of wolf packs." Tears in Lin Wanning's eyes were about to burst out.
Seeing Lin Wanning take several steps back, the wolf quickly rubbed against her again. Then it let out another shrill howl into the valley, "Awooo~"
Then it howled several times in a row. Lin Wanning could feel that its howls sounded like cries. The little squirrel and the little snake were very spiritual animals.
They also seemed to sense something. They all slid down from the chestnut tree and jumped onto Lin Wanning.
The little squirrel pointed at the valley in front with its little paw. Although Lin Wanning didn't understand, she could feel that there seemed to be a telepathy among them animals.
Since the little squirrel was pointing at the valley in front, it was very likely that the wolf's companion was injured in the valley.
"Is your companion injured in that valley? Do you need my help now?"
The wolf nodded repeatedly and even bit Lin Wanning's trouser leg, indicating that Lin Wanning should set off quickly.
Without saying a word, Lin Wanning rushed towards the valley with the little snake and the little squirrel. On the way, Lin Wanning also figured it out. The small animals in the mountain seemed to have a natural fondness for her.
Moreover, they could communicate with each other. There was no way they would hurt her.
Lin Wanning followed the small animals to the valley, but the valley was empty.
Fortunately, the wolf walked in front all the time. As it walked forward, it finally stopped in front of a cave and kept looking back to indicate that Lin Wanning should follow.
It was not until Lin Wanning stepped forward that she found that there was a wolf in the cave with wounds all over its neck, and blood was constantly gushing out.
Lin Wanning quickly took off the carrying basket in her hand and rushed to the wolf in a hurry. Lin Wanning had also read in books before that a wolf only had one mate in its lifetime.
Seeing how anxious the other wolf was, Lin Wanning could feel that they must be a couple.
She quickly bent down and stroked the other wolf's head. "Don't worry. I'll definitely try my best to treat it."
The wolf seemed to understand immediately. All its restlessness disappeared instantly. It just sat behind Lin Wanning like a docile dog.
Lin Wanning picked up the injured wolf and took out the towel from the carrying basket first to clean the bloodstains on its neck.
"I'll go pick some herbs first. The wound will heal faster this way. You guys stay here and wait for me obediently. I'll be back soon."
