With Zhang Jiyuan's occasional supply of colt meat, the wolf cub's meat supply was always sufficient. However, when Chen Zhen thought of the little wolf in the wolf pack, he felt that he should let the little wolf eat better and fill up a little. He would walk the wolf more to increase the little wolf's exercise time. However, the remaining colt's internal organs were only enough for the wolf cubs to eat, not to mention that the dogs had already stopped eating. Chen Zhen was worried again.
The night before, he had heard from Gao Jianzhong that there had been a thunderstorm on the hillside in the southwest direction. The thunder had killed a big bullock that was grazing on the top of the mountain. Early the next morning, Chen Zhen rushed to the top of the mountain with his Mongolian knife and gunny sack, but he was still a step too late. There were only cow skulls and big stick bones left on the hillside that even the giant wolves could not chew. The wolves did not even leave him with a single piece of meat. He sat next to the cow bones and looked at them carefully for a long time. He found that there were many sharp teeth marks of small wolves on the side of the cow bones. The big wolf ate big mouthfuls of meat, while the small wolf picked the meat shreds with its small teeth. They divided the work and scraped the big cow clean. Even the flies were so angry that they snorted and flew away after a few bites. An old cowherd from Group 3 also came here. This cow with only bones left seemed to be one of his herd. The old man said to Chen Zhen: The wolves did not dare to eat the sheep, so Tengri killed a cow for the wolves to eat. Look, they didn't kill them early or late, they just waited for the black market to kill them. The migrant workers wanted to pull the dead cows back to eat meat the next morning, but they couldn't make it in time. Young man, the rules of the grassland were set by Tengri. If you break the rules, you will suffer retribution. The old man's face was gloomy. He reined in his horse and slowly walked down the mountain towards the bulls.
Chen Zhen thought that the old herdsman often talked about the rules of the grassland, which might be the natural laws of the grassland. The laws of nature were naturally " set " by the Heaven, which was the universe. Therefore, raising a wolf under the conditions of primitive nomadism must have disrupted the nomadism's production method. The wolf cub had already brought many new troubles to the grassland. He didn't know what kind of trouble the wolf cub would bring to the herdsmen and himself…Chen Zhen returned empty-handed, his thoughts in a mess. He raised his head and looked up at Tengri. The Longevity Heaven was like a dome, covering all directions. The sky was gray and the wilderness was vast. The wind blew and the grass was low, but no wolves could be seen. In the grasslands, the wolves were like ghost fires, coming and going without a trace. He often heard its voice and saw its harm, but it was difficult to see its face. This made the wolf in people's minds even more mysterious and magical. It also stimulated his curiosity, thirst for knowledge, and research addiction. After raising the wolf cub, Chen Zhen truly embraced a living wolf-a wolf that lived in the circle of the wolf totem belief. After going through so many hardships and withstanding so many pressures and dangers, he could not stop anymore. How could he give up and stop so easily?
Chen Zhen ran to the camp of the migrant workers and spent a high price to buy half a bag of millet. He could only increase the proportion of grain in the meat porridge for the wolf cubs so that they could last until the next time they killed the sheep. He also planned to let the dogs have a meal. When Chen Zhen returned home and was about to take a nap, he suddenly noticed that the three puppies at home were barking happily and running towards the west. Chen Zhen looked out and saw Erlang, Huanghuang, and Yi Le returning from the mountains. Erlang and Huanghuang held their heads high, with a big prey in their mouths. Huanghuang and Yi Le couldn't stand the days of hunger and hunger, so they often went up the mountain with Erlang to get food. It seemed that they had a good hunt today. Not only did they eat well, but they also started to take care of their family.
He hurried to meet them. The three puppies fought over the things in the big dog's mouth. Erlang put down the prey and drove the puppies away. Then he picked up the prey and ran home quickly. Chen Zhen's eyes lit up. Erlang and Huanghuang were holding marmots in their mouths. Even Yi Le was holding a foot-long golden hamster in his mouth. It was as thick as a big white radish. This was the first time Chen Zhen had seen his hunting dog bring prey home. He rushed forward excitedly to get the prey. Huanghuang and Yi Le were eager to show off their achievements. They hurriedly placed the prey at their master's feet and then jumped around Chen Zhen with laughter. They wagged their tails vigorously and swung them around again and again. Huanghuang even made a split action with its front legs apart, which he had never seen before. Its chest and neck almost touched the otter, which meant that it was the one who caught the prey. A row of red teats appeared on the otter's abdomen. It was a female otter that was still feeding. Chen Zhen repeatedly slapped the heads of the two dogs and praised," Good job! Good job!
However, Erlang refused to let go of the otter and ran around Chen Zhen towards the wolf cub. Seeing that the otter in Erlang's mouth was big and fat, Chen Zhen immediately chased after it, grabbed Erlang's big tail with both hands, and snatched the big otter from its mouth. Erlang wasn't angry, and even gently wagged his tail at him. Chen Zhen grabbed one of the otter's hind legs and lifted it. It weighed six to seven pounds, and its fur was thin and shiny. This was the Grand Duke's otter that had just gained enough fat in the summer. It would only gain fat in the autumn, but the fat had already grown to the point where it was plump. Chen Zhen planned to leave this otter for others to eat. The three people in the bag had not eaten grassland game for a long time.
Chen Zhen carried the male otter in his left hand and the female otter and rat in his right hand. He walked home excitedly. The three big dogs played with each other and followed behind their master. Chen Zhen placed the Grand Duke Otter into his bag before closing the door. The puppies had never eaten marmots before. They sniffed around curiously. They didn't know how to peel off the skin and eat the meat themselves.
Chen Zhen decided to feed the thin female otter to the three puppies and feed the fat and big golden hamster to the wolf cub. He wanted it to taste the delicious food that the wild wolves liked the most, so that it could practice tearing the skin and eating the meat.
Marmot skin in summer only had fur and no velvet. It was not worth much, and the purchasing station did not want it. So Chen Zhen used a knife to cut the otter, its skin, meat, bones, and intestines into four equal portions. Three portions were given to the puppy, and the other portion was left for the wolf cub to eat for the next meal. Chen Zhen distributed the three large portions of meat to the puppies. Once the puppies saw the blood and meat, they knew how to eat. They did not fight for it and lay down next to their own portion of food to chew. The three big dogs all smiled. They had always been very satisfied with Chen Zhen's fair distribution of food. Chen Zhen's fair treatment of dogs was learned from Jack London's novel, The Call of the Wild. Ever since the novel was loaned out, it had been transferred to two groups of educated youths and could not be taken back.
