Chapter 332 Little Wolf Cub
The rain continued without stopping until night.
Gu Qinghan felt that they could not stay in the woods for long, so when the rain stopped, he woke up Li Junyong, who had fallen asleep against a tree trunk, put out the fire, lit a tinder, and started back along the same path with Li Junyong.
Aunt Li and Xu Qing, who hadn't seen their son come home for a long time, thought that both of them were hiding from the rain at one of their homes because it was raining so hard, so they were not very worried.
Until the rain gradually subsided, Aunt Li was worried about her son, so she asked Li Dali to hold an umbrella and a lamp and knock on the door of Village Chief Gu.
Village Chief Gu thought it was his son who came back, but he was surprised to see Li Dali when he opened the door.
Upon learning that none of the sons had returned home, Village Chief Gu and Li Dali's faces changed.
After Xu Qing comforted Gu Qingming to sleep, he walked out of the room and saw two people looking at each other in the yard.
"What are you standing there for? Go find someone quickly." Xu Qing said anxiously.
"Wait, don't be anxious. Qinghan is a sensible guy. He might be hiding from the rain in the mountains and will start to go down the mountain when the rain stops. It was raining so heavily just now. If it were me, I would also find a place to hide from the rain first." Village Chief Gu comforted the somewhat panicked Xu Qing and analyzed calmly.
"Yes, what Lao Gu said makes sense. Besides, those two guys are very strong and carry axes, bows and arrows, and food with them when they go up the mountain. Nothing will happen to them." Li Dali agreed.
"Then let's do this for now. Old Li, you go back and calm Cuixia down first. Then wait for a while. If the two haven't returned by the time of Xu, we will go look for them. If we go rashly like this, we don't know where they are and might cause trouble."
"Okay." Li Dali still believed in Gu Qinghan. He thought that the boy was reliable and would never do anything rash.
Li Dali went back holding an umbrella and a lamp. Compared with when he hurried here, his steps back were a little heavier.
I kept repeating to myself: My son, you must be safe and sound.
Xu Qing thought of that boy Gu Qinghan and felt it necessary to ask that girl Xu Yuan, so she told her husband about this idea.
"How is it possible? That kid went by himself, so why would he take Junyong with him? It's impossible."
Village Chief Gu was stunned for a moment and said angrily.
Xu Qing glanced at Village Chief Gu and said, "Just ask him. Who knows if he is just hiding from the rain. Besides, Qinghan secretly revealed it to us. Are you sure Xiaozhi and the others know about it? It's not polite for him to go to someone's wishing house alone."
Village Chief Gu also felt that what his wife said made sense. "Okay, I'll go ask. You go back to your room and rest first."
……
In the mountains and forests.
The two of them picked a large leaf to block the rain, and walked along the muddy mountain road, taking one step at a time.
"Woooooooo..."
When he walked into a patch of lush grass, a faint humming sound caught Gu Qinghan's attention.
"What's wrong, Qinghan?"
Li Junyong was walking behind and saw Gu Qinghan suddenly turn in another direction, bend down and squat beside a bush, and asked in confusion.
This day is really endless, it’s still raining.
The rain mixed with the night breeze in the mountains was chilly. His trouser legs and back were wet by the rain. Even though Li Junyong picked up a basket of mountain products, his good mood turned into depression. He only wanted to get down the mountain quickly and go home to take a hot bath.
Gu Qinghan put down the big leaf in his hand and pulled aside the grass.
"Wow, this is... a little wolf cub?" Li Junyong also came over.
It seemed to have been born not long ago. It was very thin, with gray fur stained with blood and a weak breath.
With eyes open, he looked into the distance without any light.
It looks pitiful, and I'm afraid it won't live long.
Li Junyong felt a little regretful and shook his head helplessly.
"It would have been great if we had discovered it earlier. What a shame."
"Qinghan, do you think it can be saved?"
"Take it back and try." Gu Qinghan picked up the little wolf cub, wiped its wet fur with his sleeve, and used his internal energy in both hands to transfer some heat to the little wolf's body.
The little wolf cub was unusually well-behaved. It didn't move or make any noise, and stayed quietly in Gu Qinghan's arms.
"This little wolf is so well behaved, just like a puppy. If it survives, wouldn't it be awesome to raise a little wolf?"
"Qinghan, how come you are so lucky that you can find a wolf when you go up the mountain."
Li Junyong was very envious and touched the little wolf cub in Gu Qinghan's arms.
He was so skinny that his bones were visible, with not a pound of meat on his body. I don't know which female wolf could be so cruel.
Unfortunately, there was not much food left on the two of them. After the little wolf cub chewed a piece of crushed dry and hard biscuit, his breathing became a little steadier.
Gu Qinghan looked at the little wolf in his arms, had a plan in mind, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
……
"I'm so sorry to come here so late to disturb your rest."
"Village Chief Gu, come in and sit down. Is there something urgent that requires you to come so late?"
Xu Yuan was looking through the account book in his room. When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, there was a sudden knock on the gate.
I was startled by the wisher who was immersed in counting money.
He quickly put on his coat, picked up the oil lamp, and opened the door.
The rain was still drizzling, Xuyuan walked through the corridor and opened the gate.
Xu Yuan was a little surprised to see Village Chief Gu outside the door.
This was after Gu Qinghan confessed his relationship with himself to his parents. Xu Yuan didn't know what mood to use when facing Village Chief Gu, so he had to choose to treat it with a normal attitude.
"Girl Yuan, I won't go in. I just want to ask, has Qinghan been to your place today?"
"What happened? Gu Qinghan didn't come to me today." Xu Yuan asked, looking at Village Chief Gu's face full of worry and anxiety.
"not coming."
Village Chief Gu murmured softly.
Then he explained to Xu Yuan, "It's okay. I just came here to ask. Qinghan accidentally took my things by mistake, and I don't know where he dropped them. He's looking for them somewhere else now. I saw that he came to your place quite often recently, so maybe he dropped them here?"
"Uh... Village Chief Gu, did you remember it wrongly... How could Gu Qinghan..." Xu Yuan smiled awkwardly and wanted to deny it.
"Yuan girl, that boy told me everything. Don't worry, Qinghan is very reliable. It's his blessing that you can be on good terms with him. If he does anything wrong, you can deal with him. We are not on his side."
"Girl Yuan, sometimes, a person shouldn't be too strong. It's good to lean on others appropriately. Try to get along with Qinghan."
Village Chief Gu looked at the resolute girl in front of him and couldn't help feeling distressed, so he comforted her.
"Okay, nothing else. I'll go back first. I hope you can have a rest soon, girl."
"Well, thank you, Village Chief Gu." Xu Yuan nodded and watched Village Chief Gu walk away.
