Huanghuang's voice was getting closer and closer, but the two of them still could not see it. Chen Zhen said,"There are many footprints of wild animals here. Maybe Huanghuang caught a fox." Let's go. Yang Ke said,"Then we didn't come here in vain." The two of them finally bypassed the thorny bushes and went down to the bottom of the ditch. After making a small turn, they finally saw Huanghuang. This time, Chen Zhen and Yang Ke were even more shocked. Huanghuang raised its tail and barked at a bigger and darker wolf cave. The ravine was eerie and terrifying, filled with the aura of a wolf. The cold wind blew, and Chen Zhen's scalp went numb. He felt as if he had strayed into a pack of wolves, whose eyes were staring at him from out of sight, making his hair stand on end like a porcupine's.
The two of them got off their horses, tripped them, and hurried to the cave with their weapons. This wolf cave was facing south. The entrance was about one meter high and 60 centimeters wide. Chen Zhen had never seen such a large wolf cave. It was even larger than the tunnel entrance he saw during the Anti-Japanese War when he went to Pingshan, Hebei Province, to study agriculture in middle school. It was hidden in the small folds of the big ravine. The grass on the ravine was overgrown with needles, and the sharp stones under the ravine were abrupt. It was difficult to find it unless it was close by. When Huanghuang saw its two masters, it was instantly excited. It jumped around Chen Zhen, looking as if it was asking for a reward. Chen Zhen said to Yang Ke," There must be a chance in this cave. Maybe Huanghuang saw the wolf cub just now. Look, it's showing off its merits to me." Yang Ke said,"I think so too. This place is like a real wolf's nest. It's gloomy and terrifying." Chen Zhen said,"The smell of wolves is really strong. There must be wolves!"
Chen Zhen hurriedly lowered his head to check the traces on the platform outside the cave. The platform outside the wolf cave was made by the rocks and stones that the wolves dug out. The bigger the hole, the bigger the platform. The platform was the size of two desks. There was no snow on the platform. There were many claw marks and some broken bones. Chen Zhen's heart was pounding. This was exactly what he wanted to see. He asked Huanghuang to leave the platform and let it stand guard for them. Then, he knelt beside the platform with Yang Ke and bent down to identify them. Huanghuang had already trampled the original tracks on the platform, but the two of them still found a lot of conclusive evidence-two or three big wolf footprints and five or six small wolf cubs 'paw prints. The wolf cub's paw print was in the shape of a plum blossom, the size of a two-cent coin, small and exquisite, and very cute. The small paw prints were very clear. It seemed that the wolf pups had just played on the platform and were scared back into the cave when they heard the strange barking. The flat and snowless platform seemed to be an outdoor playground specially cleaned by the mother wolf for the wolf pups. On the platform, there were some broken bones and curly-haired lamb skin. The tender bones of the lamb had the marks of the wolf cubs and fine teeth marks. Beside the platform, he also found a few pieces of fresh feces of wolf cubs. They were as thick as chopsticks and about two centimeters long. They were black and shiny, like small strips of medicine made from Chinese medicine honey pills.
Chen Zhen slapped his knee and said," The wolf cub I'm looking for is in this cave. The two of us were fooled by that female wolf.
Yang Ke also suddenly woke up. He patted the platform hard and said, That's right, the female wolf was originally running in the direction of this cave. It saw a figure on the hill and suddenly changed its route at the last minute, tricking us into that cave. It even pretended to be serious and fought with a dog, as if it was protecting its cub with its life. Wolf, you f * cking wolf, I have to hand it to you! Chen Zhen recalled that when it changed its route, I was also a little suspicious, but it pretended to be too real, so I didn't doubt it. It could really adapt to the situation. If you hadn't blown it up three times, it would definitely have been able to deal with us until nightfall.
Yang Ke said,"We're lucky to have these two good dogs. Without them, we would have been defeated by the wolves long ago."
Chen Zhen said worriedly," Now it's even more difficult. This female wolf has given us a difficult problem again. It made us waste most of our time and even wasted three " gas bombs." This hole was in the belly of the mountain. It was deeper and more complicated than the previous hole.
Yang Ke looked down at the cave for a long time and said, There wasn't much time left, and the " gas bomb " was gone. It seemed like there was really nothing else he could do. I think we should find out if there are other exits in this cave first, then we will block all the exits. Tomorrow, we will find more herdsmen to think of a way. You can also ask Abba, his idea is the most useful.
Chen Zhen was a little unwilling. He steeled his heart and said," I have a move that I can try. Look at this wolf cave. It's about the same size as the tunnel in Pingshan. We can crawl into the tunnel in Pingshan, but why can't we crawl into this wolf cave? Anyway, Jiro was fighting with the she-wolf, so there was probably no big wolf in the cave. You tied my feet with your belt and slowly dragged me down. Maybe he could catch a little wolf cub. Even if I can't reach it, I have to see the internal structure of the wolf cave with my own eyes.
Yang Ke shook his head and said,"Do you want to die? What if there's a big wolf inside?" I've already been scammed by the wolf. Do you dare to say that this hole is that female wolf's hole? What if it was another wolf cave?
The desire that Chen Zhen had been holding in for more than two years suddenly swelled up, overwhelming his guilt and timidity. He gritted his teeth and said,"Even Mongolian children dare to enter the wolf cave. We don't dare to. Isn't this too embarrassing?" I must go down. I'll hold the flashlight and the iron spike. If there really is a big wolf, I can hold it off for a while.
Yang Ke said,"If you really want to play, then let me play first. You're thinner than me, but I'm stronger than you!"。
Chen Zhen said,"This happens to be my advantage. The wolf cave is narrow. When the time comes, you will definitely be stuck." Now, let's not argue. Whoever is fat will stay outside the cave.
Chen Zhen took off his leather robe, and Yang Ke reluctantly handed him the flashlight, metal rod, and school bag. He tied his feet with Chen Zhen's nearly twenty feet long robe belt, and then untied his long belt and connected it to Chen Zhen's belt. Before entering the cave, Chen Zhen said,"If you don't enter the wolf's den, how can you get wolf cubs?" Yang Ke repeatedly told him that if he really encountered a wolf, he should shout loudly, hook his leg hard, and pull his belt to signal. Chen Zhen turned on the flashlight and crawled on the ground, sliding down the nearly 40-degree inclined hole. There was a strong smell of wolf in the hole, choking him so much that he did not dare to breathe. He climbed down bit by bit. The cave wall was still relatively smooth, and there were a few strands of grayish-yellow wolf fur on some of the soil and rocks. The ground of the cave was covered with the paw prints of the wolf cubs. Chen Zhen was very excited, thinking that he might be able to touch the wolf cubs after climbing a few more meters. His body had already completely entered the hole. Yang Ke put down the belt bit by bit and kept asking loudly if he wanted to come out. Chen Zhen shouted loudly, put down the belt, put down the belt. Then he used his elbows to move forward and backward, rubbing down a few inches.
About two meters away from the cave entrance, the wolf cave began to turn slowly. After climbing in for a while, the light outside the cave could no longer shine into the cave. Chen Zhen pushed the flashlight switch to the end. The visibility in the cave was maintained by the flashlight. After turning the corner, the slope of the cave suddenly became flat, but the tunnel also suddenly became shorter and narrower. He had to lower his head and shrink his shoulders to barely move in. Chen Zhen observed the walls of the cave as he climbed. The walls here were smoother and sturdier than the ones at the entrance. They did not look like they had been dug out by wolf claws, but more like they had been chiseled out by steel rods. His shoulders barely scraped off any debris. He poked the roof of the cave with a metal rod, but not much debris fell. This made him less worried about the cave collapsing. He found it hard to believe that wolves could dig such deep holes in such hard terrain with their claws. The stone pieces on the side walls of the cave had been polished off and were as smooth as pebbles. Based on the degree of wear and tear, this wolf cave must have been a hundred-year-old cave. It was unknown how many big wolves, small wolves, male wolves, and female wolves had come and gone in this cave. Chen Zhen felt that he had completely entered the world of wolves.
Chen Zhen crawled and crawled, feeling more and more afraid. There were a few wolf paw prints under his nose that had been stepped on by the wolf cubs. If there were big wolves in this cave, would he be able to defeat them with this metal rod? The cave was narrow, and Wolf Fang was probably close to eight or nine wolf cubs. He really couldn't bear to retreat, so he subconsciously clenched his teeth and didn't move his belt. He braced himself and continued to move in. The walls were almost enveloping him, and he felt more like a gravedigger than a hunter. The air was getting thinner and thinner, and the smell of wolves was getting stronger and stronger. He was really afraid that he would suffocate in the cave. Archeological excavation often found that grave robbers died in such narrow holes.
