Qing Jiu picked up an axe from the doorway and said, "There's only one of them. Let's go out and take a look."

Liefeng, who was standing at the door, also saw Qingjiu holding an axe, and A Zhou and Xiao Ying following behind him, each holding a weapon that was shining with cold light.

Liefeng became anxious and started shouting at the door.

Ji Lang followed and approached the door, looking through the gap. Under the gray sky, at the gate, he saw a wolf with green eyes half-lying on the ground, trying hard to indicate that it had no intention of attacking.

It was as if he bullied an innocent girl and then ran away. Many years later, he came back and saw the girl with a child who looked very much like him. He came to her house with a guilty conscience to claim recognition, but was afraid of being beaten by the girl's family.

Jilang: ...

It was strange that it was so dark, but he could actually imagine a wolf's thoughts through its actions.

The hateful thing was that his Lie Feng also saw the wolf's actions through the crack in the door, and he lay down at Ji Lang's feet, rubbing Ji Lang's shoes with his mouth, looking like a spoiled child.

It was obvious that she was going out to meet her lover.

The three puppies nearby looked at Liefeng, who was completely different from usual, with confusion in their big eyes.

Ji Lang scratched his face and asked, “What do they mean?” It seems that they regard them as stumbling blocks in their love life.

Xi Shi, who had been watching for a while, asked, "Liefeng, do you want to go out? Do you want me to open the door?"

"Could there be other wolves lying in ambush nearby?" Ji Lang looked around mysteriously. Ever since he was held hostage by Dayu last time, he has become extra cautious.

Xi Shi closed his eyes and listened carefully to the movements around him. "No, there are no other wolves near the yard."

Qing Jiu carefully pushed open the door, holding the axe tightly in his hand to prevent the wolf from suddenly attacking.

The door opened a gap large enough for Liefeng to get out, and he immediately scurried out flexibly. Soon he ran to the side of the wolf, and they sniffed each other on the ground, then they rubbed against each other and rolled together.

After the two played for a while, Liefeng suddenly remembered something and barked twice towards the door. The three puppies that had been hiding behind squeezed out from between the legs of the group of people who were gathered at the door to gossip and cautiously moved forward.

It's like the scene when a child who has never seen his biological father since childhood meets his biological father for the first time.

Ji Lang looked at the heads that were crowding around him, speechless. Was it because Han Ji was too bored that these people were so keen on reading the gossip about this wolf and the dog?

"Feng, you are blocking my view." Ji Lang stretched out his hand and pushed away the furry head that was blocking his view. This guy has grown a lot taller recently and was blocking Ji Lang's view tightly.

Feng didn't mind being pushed on the head, but he pointed at Liefeng, Damao, Ermao and Sanmao in annoyance, "Are they going to follow the wolf?"

Ji Lang was stunned. No way, Liefeng must be a love-brained guy.

"No, Liefeng is very loyal." Guo Qi, who was standing in the front, said. He didn't know when, Qing Jiu, who was originally standing at the door with an axe, had been pushed into the corner. Ji Lang stood on tiptoe and saw Qing Jiu standing behind the door with a helpless look on his face, and laughed out loud.

"Stop talking. Look, Liefeng is back with his cubs." Xiaoying shouted.

Ji Lang quickly looked over along the gap between Feng and Guo Qi's shoulders, and saw a wolf and a dog who were originally cuddling together. Liefeng was now walking in front, and the wolf was squatting behind. There were three confused puppies beside them, who didn't know what was going on and were bewildered.

Liefeng turned around and whispered twice to the puppies who were still squatting there. The three little ones immediately ran and jumped to Liefeng's side.

The wolf behind him whimpered, but Liefeng pretended not to hear it. He walked to the gate without looking back, squatted down, took a look, and went in.

Well, now the plot has developed to the point where the boy wanted to take the girl and the child away after recognizing his relatives, but the girl refused and took the child back home, leaving the boy standing alone in the cold wind.

After Liefeng entered the yard, the wolf began to circle around in the yard, trying to find a place to go out. When it failed to jump up the tall pile of firewood after two attempts, it became anxious. After running around the yard for two circles, it looked at the people at the door and began to bare its teeth, accompanied by low threatening sounds.

Xi Shi patted the axe in his hand and asked, "Kill him or not?"

Liefeng, who had originally gone in, immediately pricked up his ears and came over when he heard this, rubbing against the legs of several people like a spoiled child.

Okay, I see, I’m begging for mercy for this irresponsible brat.

Liefeng lingered for a while and then ran out. The wolf wandering around in the yard immediately approached him, but Liefeng walked to the gate without looking around, stretched out his claws to scratch the gate, turned around and barked at the group of people.

The meaning is obvious, open the door for its boyfriend and let him out.

As if worried that the wolf might hurt people or be hurt by people, he blocked it in the corner behind him and wouldn't let it come out.

Guo Qi smiled and said to Xi Shi, "Look, Liefeng is protecting him and won't let him be killed."

"Stupid dog, let me open the door." Xishi said and walked out, Guoqi followed behind him to prevent any accidents.

Seeing someone approaching, the wolf squatting behind Liefeng made a threatening sound again. Liefeng turned around and slapped his long mouth with his claws without hesitation.

Xishi opened the door a crack and walked to the side. Liefeng crawled out from the crack and barked outside. The wolf behind him followed him out.

After a long while, there was still no sign of Liefeng coming back. Ji Lang wanted to go out and take a look. "Could that guy have run away with the wolf?"

Just after he finished speaking, Liefeng came in and glanced at Ji Lang with the side of his eyes. From that expression, Ji Lang suspected that this guy had become a spirit and understood.

It was already completely dark, and there was a strong cold wind. There was nothing exciting to watch at the moment, so Ji Lang realized belatedly that he had a belly full of cold wind. He shrank his neck, shivered, and went back into the house.

A few children just came out to watch the fun, but before they reached the door, they were sent back into the house one by one by Feng Heye.

Now sitting by the stove, he was questioning his life. It was not long ago that Feng was classified as part of their camp, but how come now he suddenly became an adult, and there were only three of them left?

Xiaoman's face was full of confusion, Chuan's face was full of bewilderment, and Wu's face was full of dissatisfaction. He also wanted to become an adult quickly, not to watch the fun, but to quickly become a hunter who could hunt and protect everyone.

It was rare to see these little guys with such expressions. Ji Lang found it a little funny and asked, "What's wrong? Why do you have such expressions?"

Xiaoman was not afraid either. She came up and hugged Jilang's legs, pouting her lips and saying, "Father, what are you guys watching outside? Why don't you let us see it?"

"What's so fun about it? It's a wolf. We're afraid of you because you're too young. What if a wolf suddenly pounces on you and bites you when you go out? What will you do then?" Ji Lang said guiltily.

Xiaoman clenched his little fists and said, "I'm not afraid! If it bites me, I will hit it." He looked like he was very fierce.

"Pfft, little ancestor, why are you so funny? What are you going to hit it with? Your little fist that is not even enough to fill the gaps between its teeth?" Ji Lang pinched his tense little face.

Xiaoman felt that she was being laughed at, but she was not angry. She buried her face in the fur on Jilang's clothes and said, "With my father here, I am not afraid of anything."

After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Father, why did Feng grow so tall all of a sudden and become an adult all of a sudden?" His little face was full of longing, wishing he could grow that tall all of a sudden.

"That's because when you were so young, he was well fed and warmly clothed every day, and learned hunting well. When the time came, he grew taller quickly. You have to be like this too, understand?" Ji Lang helped him wipe the rice grains that had stuck to his collar at some point, and muttered to himself in his heart that Feng, this guy, even though he has grown taller, still has the mentality of a child. But this is indeed a bit outrageous. Even if you see him every day, you can feel how fast he grows.

Xiaoman patted her belly and said, "I ate a lot, a big bowl of rice and bone soup."

Ji Lang followed his lead and patted the little guy's bulging belly. It was bulging, and he had indeed eaten a lot. "Remember to go to the toilet before going to bed. Otherwise, it will be a pain to get up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet."

After talking for a while, Xiaoman, Wu and Chuan sat by the stove to play with stones, while Jilang sat by the kang to sort out clothes.

Clothes in the cold season are worn for a long time and are not changed and washed every day like in the warm season. But even so, the underwear should be changed more frequently, otherwise lice will be easily caught. Usually, Jilang, Qingjiu and Xiaoman would find a time to boil water while melting snow for their changed clothes, and hang them outside the house after washing them. After they are frozen, they would be brought back and hung by the stove to dry, so that water wouldn't get everywhere.

The original drainage area in the outer courtyard had become a place for dumping dirty water since the bamboo water pipe was frozen. Now there was a big gap and it was frozen, making it look dirty. Ji Lang thought that after the cold season was over, he would build a ceramic drainage channel.

After a while, Qing Jiu also came back, holding a wooden stool that someone had placed outside.

Ji Lang raised his eyes and looked at him, "Is the door closed?"

"Well, Liefeng has also returned to his nest." Qing Jiu said, putting the wooden stool next to the stove, taking a fur mat from the shelf, and turned around to go out again.

After a while, he came in with a basket of wood of different sizes, sat on a stool and began to cut the wood into small pieces with a knife and his hands.

The men were all busy with their work and were chatting idly. "What do you think the wolf is doing here today? Did it recognize Liefeng and the cubs and want to confirm?" Ji Lang asked Qingjiu.

"They should have recognized them last time. They should have come to take a look this time. They might also want to take them away. The wolf pack is probably going to leave. Some wolf packs will drive the grown-up cubs away, and some wolf packs will give up their territory for their cubs." Qing Jiu said. It is very likely that this wolf's pack saw Liefeng and the three cubs and wanted to take them away, but if they didn't leave, the pack would leave because this was the territory of Liefeng and the three cubs. This wolf had a high status in the wolf pack and could make the decision to give up the territory for the cubs.

Ji Lang found it very strange that these animal groups were more complex and varied than he had imagined.

The tense atmosphere finally eased, and Ji Lang was in the mood to continue making wooden guns. He planned to make one for everyone, including the children, but would give them one when they were older.

The weather was still cold, cold and dry. Ji Lang made some fruit tea and poured a pot of it for each room. The fruit tea with sugar was sour and sweet, very delicious, and everyone liked it very much.

Sa Shi put down the cup in her hand and drank the big cup of fruit tea in one breath. Then she continued to hold her sister who was grunting and biting her fingers, and used a small spoon to feed her the paste made by adding fruit powder and water. It was sweet, and the child was very happy to eat it. She looked at Am with her mouth open and a smile on her face.

Children's emotions can easily infect adults. Ji Lang looked at her round eyes staring at Sa Shi and the expression on her face, and said with a smile, "This little girl is laughing so happily."

Sa Shi looked up and smiled at Ji Lang, his face looked a little tired, but also very happy, "Yes, I feel that this little girl was born to restrain me. Every time I feel that taking care of a child is so tiring and annoying, she smiles and I feel like I have forgotten everything. My heart and eyes are filled with her."

It's rare to see such a tired look on her face. From her pregnancy to childbirth, even shortly after giving birth, her eyes were bright and she was still as energetic as before.

But at this moment, he couldn't hide the tiredness on his face. It seems that children are really tiring.

On the wooden shelf next to the stove, there were diapers of similar size and shape but different colors. They were all made from leftover clothing materials. They were washed clean and hung in a row on the shelf.

It can be seen that Xishi and Sashi both wash very frequently.

What Ji Lang didn't know was that this was Sa Shi's first time as a mother. He used to be a carefree person, often waking up in the middle of the night. When he woke up, he would go to check on the children around him, fearing that something had happened to them. Sometimes he would be awakened just after waking up, and the children would get hungry very quickly and would cry when they woke up. Sa Shi and Xi Shi hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.

Originally, Sa Shi had enough breast milk, but she hasn’t been getting enough rest recently and has become much more haggard. The two cubs eat a lot, so every day they each need to have a small bowl of noodle and fruit powder porridge to feel full.

Sa Shi's two children are really good-looking, with big black eyes and eyelashes that are as long as small fans. Ji Lang took a small doll and dangled it in front of them. The two pairs of beautiful eyes stared at the doll without blinking, and they were obviously two smart children.

Sa Shi closed her eyes and leaned against the quilt to rest. She was also happy that Ji Lang helped her to coax the children. Otherwise, she would have to coax them to sleep one by one. If one of them did not sleep well and made a noise, the other would soon wake up and make trouble with her too. Sa Shi was really scared of these two little brats.
