sleep with wolves

After a long and cold winter, Ferroy finally ushered in his first spring in this Pleistocene.

Spring came very slowly. Although the temperature was out of sub-zero, it couldn't break through ten degrees Celsius, and Feloy still felt cold.

Nevertheless, being able to see the snow covering the jungle gradually melt, seeing new shoots sprouting from dry branches, seeing lost animals reappear in front of them, and even walking out of the hole to breathe fresh air, this pair trapped in It was undoubtedly a great joy for Feloy who hadn't come out of the Dire Wolf Cave for several months. When he felt the spring, he couldn't wait to remove the stones used to block the cold wind and ran to the outside of the cave. On the boulder, facing the endless lake in the distance, he took a deep breath and sighed loudly: "Ah! I have never thought that spring is so lovely!"

The companion convulsed from time to time, and the dire wolf was quite speechless. After standing side by side with Feloy, it gave him a few disdainful eyes before turning its attention to the grassland in front of it.

After the ravages of winter, the grasslands are full of frozen soil. Even though there is a relatively long spring to restore the greenness of the land, the green grass on the ground is constantly decreasing, and the lichens, mosses, and dwarfs that are more suitable for the cold season Suga grass grew on the lost grasslands. These plants are only suitable for small animals to survive, and large animals can only be forced to migrate.These phenomena will become more common as winters get colder.If you think farther away, the grassland will eventually turn into tundra, and the relatively warmer jungle on the other side of the mountain will be replaced by grassland.As for the summer that is suitable for forest development, since its birth, it has only existed in the legends of their wolf clan.

Dire Wolf's mood is not as relaxed as Feloy's. It has barely survived the past few years in this jungle, and it doesn't know whether it will survive the next winter, especially when it has a real companion Finally, does it still have the heart to let its companions accompany it to survive.

The entanglement and worry in the dire wolf's heart, Feloy didn't know at all, he still showed abnormal excitement for being able to go out, this kind of emotion made him want to run a few laps on the grassland in front of him happily, and he also Really did.

"Mr. Wolf, I'm going to run for a few steps, you can do whatever you want!" After greeting the Dire Wolf casually, he excitedly ran along the rather gentle stone path to the grassland, cheering, running.

At this time, there were not many animals, and the Dire Wolf only saw a few gray rabbits and lemmings jumping around on the grassland. After confirming the safety of its companions, it followed them.However, for safety reasons, it followed its companions to the grassland.

Enough with the madness, Feloy returned to the wolf's lair, took out the bone weapon he had developed and improved for several months, and went to the jungle with the dire wolf to hunt.

Feloy and his Mr. Wolf, who haven't had enough food for half a month, don't look down on these small animals on the grassland at all. They are so hungry that their eyes turn green and they urgently need to eat well. a meal.

It's a pity that the reality severely broke their expectations. They searched for a whole morning and didn't see a single larger animal. Not even the gray rabbits and lemmings that were hopping on the grassland were in this jungle. They only saw a few stealing vultures looking for food in mid-air.

Seeing that their lunch was about to fail, they had no choice but to return to the grassland to capture the few small animals that they hadn't caught their eye.Their good fortune seemed to go away with them as winter left, and when they returned to the grassland, there was no gray rabbit or lemming anywhere, and the grassland was empty and nothing was there.

Feloy and Dire Wolf were a little discouraged for a while, knowing that their food reserves had been eaten up yesterday.

But soon, Feloy regained his spirits, because he suddenly thought that in addition to animals on land, they could also hunt fish in the water.As the weather gets warmer, there should be more fish in the water.

Speaking of fish, since he traveled here, he hasn't eaten them for several months, and his mouth is watering just thinking about them.

Full of fighting spirit, Feloy immediately ran back to the wolf's lair to find a long and thick branch with sharpened branches and bark, and went straight to the lake at the end of the grassland.

The ice on the surface of the lake has melted, and the lake water in the shallow water area is crystal clear. As expected, Feloy saw a few plump fish swimming comfortably in the water.

He took off his shoes, rolled up his trousers, rolled up his sleeves, and devoted himself to fishing. Fortunately, he is a lover of wild adventures, has good experience in wild survival, and is experienced in fishing techniques. Except for the fish, almost all the fish in his picture were hit by his self-made harpoon.

In just half an hour, he caught thirteen fish. The small ones were only more than ten centimeters long, and the big ones were about half a meter long. It can be said that Feiluoyi has gained a lot.

As for the dire wolf, since he had never been in the water, he could only stand on the shore and watch Feloy as he fished.

Feloy was ill. After eating the grilled fish, he found himself dizzy and a little bit painful, and then he started to runny nose and sneeze, as strong as he had never been sick in such a cold winter, but this time he I caught a cold from wading in the water.What annoyed him even more was that his cold was so violent that it tormented him to the point of insanity.In the afternoon hunt, Dire Wolf had to leave him to hunt alone.

In the next few days, he was ill and did not get better. Fortunately, the dire wolves were strong and smart, and they could always catch prey when they went out without making them all hungry.

Feloy fell ill, and the Dire Wolf thought it was sick too.Although it is not sickly and weak, but it began to uncontrollably put all its eyes on Feloy in its spare time, and it wanted to get closer to Feloy's body more and more, not through his heavy clothes , but the kind of touch close to his skin, even seldom licking its companion, now it likes to use its tongue to lick the other's cheek and all the naked/exposed skin outside the clothes more and more frequently.However, even if it had intimate contact with Feloy as it wished, it was still restless in its heart.After it left the wolves, it just became an adult, and it happened to be the second half of last year, and it missed the estrus/estrous period of the wolves that year, and no older wolves taught it this, so it didn't know it Already started sending/estrus.

Feloy thought that these actions of Mr. Wolf were worrying about his illness and encouraging and comforting him.

At this time, he let the dire wolf lick him, and expressed his gratitude to the other party while stroking the other party's hair: "Thank you Mr. Wolf, I will get better in a few days."

During the hunt a few days later, when the dire wolf accidentally came across two odd-horned deer hiding in the bushes mating/mating, it suddenly found the reason for its abnormal behavior these days.

On the same day, Feloy's condition improved.Once his body got better, Feloy couldn't bear the dirty and smelly look on his body that hadn't been bathed for several months. He urgently needed to take a bath. Taking a cold shower was just courting death, and taking a hot bath didn't have this condition, so he had to retire. The second best thing is to light a fire and wipe yourself by the fire.

Always a man of action, he immediately took the wooden bucket that he had knocked and knocked together with wood during the winter in the cave, went down the mountain to scoop up a bucket of water by the lake, and came back, lit a fire, took off his dirty clothes, and stood by the fire I went to dry the moisture on it, while I leaned against the fire with my naked body, scooped some water from the bucket with my palm and rubbed it on my body.

The dire wolf who came back from hunting happened to see this scene.
