I thrived in the primitive tribe

Chapter 55 The Secret of the Wolf Pack (2)

The alpha wolf seemed to know that the two understood its meaning, so it took a few steps back, leaving space for Lu Yao and the others. However, its gaze never left its partner lying on the ground, as if it was hoping that its partner would get better.

The cries of wolf pups came from the direction of the pack. The cries were soft and gentle. The alpha wolf turned around and howled twice to comfort the cups, and then the cups stopped howling.

Lu Yao carefully examined the mother wolf on the ground. She didn't know if she had the ability to save her. She could only pray in her heart that the mother wolf could be saved and that she could find a way to save her. Otherwise, she really didn't know how she would end up today.

Although this alpha wolf seems to be quite reasonable, who knows if it might change its temperament drastically because of the death of its mate and take it out on them?

Loya stood by and watched as Lu Yao carefully examined the mother wolf, while also keeping a watchful eye on the alpha wolf and the pack to prevent them from suddenly attacking and injuring Lu Yao. He was always ready to transform into his beast form and fight.

After a careful examination, Lu Yao discovered that the mother wolf was weak due to childbirth and depleted of energy. She didn't know what the alpha wolf had fed her. Logically, the mother wolf should have lost vital signs after giving birth, and her body might not have been suitable for pregnancy and childbirth, let alone with two wolf cubs.

Judging from the appearance of those two wolf cubs, they seemed to be very healthy. It must have taken a toll on the mother wolf's body to give birth to these two cubs, and it's already incredible that she was able to survive until she safely delivered them.

Lu Yao racked her brains for any way to save it, when suddenly a brilliant idea struck her. She remembered a recipe that the great shaman had told her before, which seemed like it could be tried on the mother wolf and perhaps save her life.

"Wolf leader, you've seen what your mate looks like. I can only try my best. If I really can't save you, please don't blame me, okay?" Lu Yao discussed with the wolf leader.

After hearing this, the alpha wolf looked up at Lu Yao, then looked down at its mate lying on the ground, and nodded its head with difficulty, indicating that it understood.

Lu Yao suddenly felt envious of this wolf couple, and she couldn't help but recall her various experiences in modern society. Back then, the marital relationships she had witnessed were basically filled with calculations and weighing of options.

In the urban jungle built of reinforced concrete, there always seems to be an invisible membrane between people. Even the closest partners often find it difficult to avoid entanglements of interests and battles of wits.

She remembered that behind those seemingly harmonious families often lay untold secrets and calculations. Couples, who should be the closest of partners, often gradually revealed the darkest side of human nature under the trivialities of life and the pressures of reality.

Some husbands, in order to satisfy their own ignorant and selfish desires, choose to save the baby when their wives are facing the critical moment of childbirth, disregarding their wives' lives and safety; or they insist on their wives having a natural birth despite their extreme pain and the doctor's advice, and refuse to sign the consent form for a cesarean section even when faced with high-risk situations such as difficult labor.

They either blindly believed in the fallacy that "natural childbirth is good for the baby," or they were concerned about saving medical expenses, completely ignoring their wives' safety.

What's even more infuriating is that when these husbands' ignorance and stupidity ultimately led to their wives' unfortunate deaths, they showed no remorse or grief whatsoever. Instead, they accepted the compensation offered by the hospital out of humanitarian spirit and continued to live a carefree and happy life.

Some couples, over trivial matters in life, harbor ill intentions and regard each other as enemies. Some husbands, due to a moment of impulse or long-suppressed resentment, have even murdered their wives, either to collect insurance money or to vent their anger.

Some wives, dissatisfied with their husbands' lack of ability or inability to meet their material needs, engage in extramarital affairs or even conspire with others to attempt to seize family assets.

These examples, countless in number, all confirm the proverb, "Husbands and wives are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately." Faced with the test of reality, many couples choose to escape, betray, or even hurt each other, instead of working together to overcome difficulties.

In contrast, the wolf couple before us are so admirable. As the leader of the pack, the alpha wolf did not abandon his wife. He tried his best to save his wife, who was facing death due to childbirth, and even brought her to us, whom they regarded as enemies.

Lu Yao was moved by the affection between the wolf couple and wanted to do her best to help them achieve a good outcome. She gathered the herbs she had brought with her, as well as the herbs from the others, and took the remaining drinking water from them. She then began to decoct the medicine according to the prescription she remembered.

While decocting the medicine, Lu Yao prayed that the mother wolf would survive, hoping that the Beast God would bless the poor wolf couple and have pity on their two newborn wolf cubs, giving them a complete family.

The herbs, slowly roasted over firewood, released a faint fragrance that mingled with the smoky aroma in the air, creating a unique atmosphere.

Lu Yao kept her eyes glued to the medicine pot, afraid that the heat might be too low or too high, affecting the medicine's efficacy. Every now and then, she would pick up the lid of the pot and gently sniff the aroma to judge the progress of the decoction.

As the medicinal liquid gradually thickened, the herbs were ready. She poured the liquid into a clean earthenware bowl and placed it on the ground to let it cool slightly.

"Luckily I brought the ceramic bowl, otherwise I wouldn't know how to feed this medicine to the mother wolf. I hope it will work for her," Lu Yao thought to herself.

After a while, Lu Yao tested the temperature of the ceramic bowl and felt it was about right, so she placed the bowl of medicine under the mother wolf's mouth. Perhaps knowing that this was hers, the mother wolf closed her eyes and struggled to drink the medicine, then lay down on the ground again.

As time went by, the sadness in the alpha wolf's eyes grew deeper and deeper. Looking at his motionless mate lying on the ground, tears seemed to glisten in his eyes, and Lu Yao couldn't help but feel her eyes well up with tears as well.

"Could it be that it didn't work?" she wondered as she examined the mother wolf's body again. At this moment, the alpha wolf also looked at Lu Yao nervously, seemingly praying for a miracle to happen.

After checking, Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief and said to the alpha wolf, "Wolf leader, your mate is fine. She's just asleep. It seems the medicine is working."

Hearing Lu Yao's words, the tall alpha wolf slowly approached, gently nudging the weakened mother wolf on the ground with its sturdy head, as if to confirm her condition. Then, the alpha wolf used its sensitive nose to sniff around the mother wolf's body, seemingly carefully sensing whether her vital signs were improving. Perhaps because it truly sensed that the mother wolf's breathing was gradually stabilizing and her life force was slowly returning, the sadness in the alpha wolf's eyes gradually faded.

Then, the majestic wolf leader made an unexpected move—it bowed its noble head deeply toward Lu Yao, as if expressing endless gratitude and respect.

"What are you doing?" Lu Yao asked in surprise, her voice filled with disbelief.
