Dorki said unhurriedly,"Look, this hole is new. The soil has just been dug out. The mother wolf must have moved the little wolf to this hole."
Chen Zhen expressed his doubt,[The wolf's new hole can't be so small, right? How can the big wolf get in?]
Dorki said," This is a temporary hole. The mother wolf is thin and can fit in. She will put the wolf cubs first. In a few days, she will dig a big hole for the wolf cubs in another place."
Yang Ke waved his shovel and said,"Whether it's a wolf or a rabbit, as long as we catch a living thing today, we won't have come in vain." You guys stay out of the way, I'll dig.
Dorki immediately stopped him and said,"Let me see how deep this hole is first and see if there's anything." After saying that, he picked up the horse pole and turned it around. He used the thick end of the pole to slowly poke into the hole. After poking more than a meter into the hole, he was happy. He raised his head and said to Chen Zhen, Hey, there's something. It's soft. Try it. Chen Zhen took the pole and slowly poked it. As expected, he felt that the horse pole had poked something soft and elastic. Chen Zhen was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. Yang Ke and Liang Jianzhong also continued to try, saying in unison that there must be living things inside. However, no one could believe that the living thing was a wolf cub.
Dorji gently poked the pole to the end and held it at the entrance of the cave. Then, he slowly pulled the pole out and placed it on the ground. He measured the exact position along the direction of the cave. Then, he stood up and pointed at the measured place with the tip of his foot. He said affirmatively, Just dig here. Be careful not to hurt the wolf cubs.
Chen Zhen grabbed the shovel from Yang Ke's hand and asked," How deep could it be?
Dorkey gestured with both hands and said," One or two feet. The heat of a pack of wolf pups could soften the frozen soil, so don't use too much force.
Chen Zhen used the shovel to clear the remaining snow, then poked the shovel into the ground. He stepped lightly on it and slowly increased the strength. The soil on the ground suddenly collapsed. The two dogs rushed to the mouth of the landslide at the same time and roared. Chen Zhen felt his blood rush to his head, and he was in a daze. He felt that this was more exciting and fulfilling than digging up the tomb of the Western Han King with a shovel. In the gravel, a nest of wolf cubs with gray fur and black fur suddenly appeared. Wolf cub! Wolf cub! The three Beijing educated youths paused for a few seconds before they started shouting. Chen Zhen and Yang Ke stood there in a daze. After days and nights of fear, nervousness, danger, and fatigue, they had thought that the final battle would be a bitter and bloody battle, or a long battle of exhaustion. They had never expected that the final battle would actually end with a shovel. The two of them could not believe that the pile of small animals in front of them were wolf cubs. Those elusive Mongol wolves who were proficient in military tactics and cunning had actually allowed these Beijing students to destroy their nest. This outcome made them ecstatic. Yang Ke said,"Why do I feel like I'm dreaming? We've really been fooled by this wolf pup." Liang Jianzhong laughed evilly,"I didn't expect that you two blind cats from Beijing would actually encounter a Mongolian wolf cub." All the martial arts I've been saving up for the past few days have gone to waste. I was planning to fight today.
Chen Zhen squatted down and carefully picked up some of the dirt and gravel that covered the wolf pups. He counted the wolf pups carefully. There were a total of seven. The wolf cubs were slightly bigger than a palm. Their black little heads were close to each other. The seven wolf cubs curled up into a ball and did not move at all. However, every wolf pup had their eyes open. Their eyes were still covered with a thin layer of gray membrane. They were blue and filled with moisture, and their pupils were already black. He silently said to the wolf cubs in his heart,"I've been looking for you for so long, and you've finally appeared."
Dorki said,"This nest of wolf pups has been born for more than twenty days. Their eyes are about to open."
Chen Zhen asked,"Is the wolf cub asleep? Why isn't it moving?"
Dorji said,"Wolves have been smart since they were young. Just now, there was a dog barking and a person shouting. The wolf cubs had long been scared awake." If they don't move, they are pretending to be dead. If you don't believe me, you can catch one and see.
This was the first time Chen Zhen had used his hands to catch a live wolf. He was a little hesitant and did not dare to directly grab the wolf pup's body. He only used his thumb and index finger to carefully pinch the round and straight ears of a wolf pup and pulled it out of the pit. The wolf cub still did not move. Its four legs were obediently hanging down, and it did not show any signs of baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. It did not look like a wolf cub at all, but more like a dead cat. The little wolf cub was brought in front of the three of them. Chen Zhen was used to seeing little puppies. Looking at the little wolf cub so closely, he immediately felt the difference between a wild wolf and a domestic dog. The puppies were born with neat and smooth fur, giving people a very cute first impression. The wolf cub was completely different. It was a wild animal. Although it had fine, soft, dry, and loose ash-gray fur, there were some long, hard, and black wolf hairs that sparsely emerged from the fur. The fur was short and long, uneven, and wild. It was like a big hairy chestnut, and it was hard to hold. The wolf pup's head was black and shiny, as if it had been doused with asphalt. Its eyes had yet to fully open, but its thin wolf fangs had already grown out. It bared its lips, revealing a fierce look. The wolf pups that were dug out of the soil emitted the smell of soil and wolf meat. They could not be compared to the clean and cute pups. However, in Chen Zhen's eyes, it was the noblest, rarest, and most beautiful little life on the Mongolian steppe.
Chen Zhen had been holding the wolf cub and did not let it go. The wolf cub was still pretending to be dead and did not resist at all. However, when he touched the wolf cub's chest, his heart was beating so fast that it was scary. "Put it on the ground and have a look," said Dorkey. Chen Zhen had just placed the wolf cub on the ground when it suddenly came to life. It desperately crawled towards a place with fewer people and dogs. Its speed was as fast as a toy car that was wound up. Huanghuang caught up with it in a few steps. Just as it was about to eat, it was stopped by the three people. Chen Zhen hurriedly ran over to grab the wolf cub and put it into his canvas bag. Huanghuang glared at Chen Zhen with great dissatisfaction. It looked like it really wanted to bite a few wolf cubs to death to vent its hatred. Chen Zhen noticed that Erlang was staring blankly at the wolf cub and was even gently wagging his tail.
Chen Zhen opened his school bag. The three educated youths were immediately as excited as three naughty children. They went to the outskirts of the capital to pick up a nest of bird eggs. One by one, they fought to pick up the ears of the wolf cubs. In the blink of an eye, they had carried all the wolf cubs in the cave into the canvas bag. Chen Zhen buckled his school bag and hung it on the saddle, preparing to retreat. Dorkey looked around and said," The she-wolf must be not far away. Let's go back. We have to take a big detour. Otherwise, the she-wolf will follow us to the camp." The three of them seemed to have suddenly realized the danger. Only then did they remember that the bags were not filled with bird eggs, but wolves that made the Han people pale!
