Go through the wild and seek life

Chapter 42
Rudama turned her head and kissed Ye gently on the cheek, trying to reassure him.

"You put me down so that you can fight the enemy free, don't you? Don't worry, I can protect myself."

Ye hesitated for a moment, but still put Rudama down, and then gave her the animal skin rucksack, which contained a bow and arrow.He transformed himself into a black panther, hiding Rudama behind him, wrapping his tail lightly around her waist as if soothing.

The wolves are slowly approaching.

At this time, the shiny black hair on Ye's body was blown up from the neck to the tip of the tail, his back was slightly arched, his forelimbs were crawling, his lips were turned outward, exposing sharp teeth, and his dark purple eyes were full of hostility.

Rudama knew that Ye was ready to fight.She took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to scream, and tightly clutched the bow and arrow in trembling hands.At this time, Rudama wanted to squat down with her head in her arms and curl herself into a ball, but she couldn't, she couldn't help, and she couldn't be a drag, at least she had to protect herself.

However, Rudama smiled wryly in his heart, the possibility of self-protection was unlikely.In an instant, she suddenly understood why such a sentence often appeared in martial arts novels - kill one to earn money, kill two to earn one.

At this time, she was holding such a state of mind.

She looked at Ye, and felt guilty. If she hadn't been looking for salt, why would Ye come here to meet the wolves?If he didn't have himself, when he encountered wolves, Ye would not be able to retreat completely, but there would still be no problem in escaping.Now with this burden of my own... As the saying goes, "A drop of water is rewarded with a spring", and I accidentally healed Ye's wound, but I want him to repay it with his life.It seems that I have earned it, Rudama smiled wryly.

Just when Rudama and Ye were about to fight to the death, there was another howling of a wolf.The shrinking "encirclement" of the wolves suddenly stopped.

For some reason, Rudama felt that Ye felt relaxed for a moment after hearing the scream.

A giant silver-gray wolf stepped out from the pack.Obviously, it should be the leader of this pack of wolves.It stood there and said "woo" twice towards Yeqing.But Ye actually got up and walked towards it, and made a "woo-woo" sound similar to it in his throat.

This... what's the situation?
When Rudama saw Ye rubbing against the silver-gray giant wolf, he was completely dumbfounded.She couldn't find any normal and reasonable explanation for the scene in front of her.

After rubbing against the wolf for a few times, Ye and the wolf blew twice, and then returned to Rudama's side.

He arched Rudama's arm with his head, then nibbled on the hem of her clothes, motioning her to go with him.

Judging from Ye's performance, although Rudama didn't know his relationship with this giant wolf, he must have known each other and were very close, otherwise he wouldn't be so close.And this kind of intimacy has always been shown only to himself, and now he also showed such intimacy to a wolf. Inexplicably, Rudama felt a little fermented in his heart.

If I ignored this feeling, Rudama felt relieved, and escaped the fate of being eaten, which is great.

Rudama obediently followed him to the silver-gray giant wolf.

The giant wolf sniffed Rudama's hand, then opened its mouth and stuck out its pink tongue.

Sharp teeth shining like daggers appeared in front of Rudama's eyes.She shivered, and instinctively withdrew her hand back.

The giant wolf didn't seem to expect her to make such a move, and was taken aback, and let out a series of "bulu" sounds from his throat to express his anger.Rudama trembled again from fright, and her breathing became more rapid.

Ye timely stretched out his head to rub against the giant wolf, then arched Rudama's hand again, and wrapped her long tail around her waist, as if to comfort her not to be afraid.

Rudama mustered up his courage, raised his trembling hand, and waited for the rough tongue of the giant wolf to lick it up.In my impression, dogs lick their owners to remember their scents, so is it the same for wolves?When the big, slippery tongue of the giant wolf licked her hand, Rudama still trembled instinctively, but this time she suppressed the crazy urge to withdraw her hand.

After licking Rudama's hand, the giant wolf raised its head and howled again, as if telling the wolves that Rudama was not their enemy.

After Rudama established a friendly relationship with the giant wolf, Ye rubbed his head against the giant wolf again. After a while, he turned into a human form, carried Rudama on his back, and followed the pack of wolves.

Rudama was a little confused, what was he going to do?Where are you going with the wolves?She lay on Ye's back and asked, "Ye? Where are we going? They..."

"Family! Go home!"

Ye answered naturally, and it was not difficult for Rudama to hear the lightness in his tone.

Uh... what's the situation?
Could it be that Ye was raised by wolves?
I've heard of "wolf children" before, and it's not impossible for Ye to be raised by wolves.

The female wolf has great maternal love.After they lose their parents, they are likely to choose to raise other "babies".Doesn’t Rome have a very moving legend?A female wolf fed two abandoned babies with milk. Later, the children grew up and built a city on the banks of the Tiber River where the female wolf fed them. They named "Rome" after their elder brother and named the city the image of the female wolf. Engraved on the coat of arms of Rome.

Soon, Rudama verified her idea.

The fact is exactly as Rudama thought.That giant silver-gray wolf was Ye's adoptive mother.As for why a wolf would adopt a leopard?Rudama guessed that at that time, Lorna must have just experienced the pain of bereavement, and encountered a young and helpless Ye, so she raised her as her own child.

"Lona" is the name Rudama gave to Ye's adoptive mother, the silver-gray giant wolf.It has some homonyms with Rome, and Rudama thinks it is as great as the she-wolf in the legend of Rome.

But, why was the young Ye alone at that time?Lost with his mother?Or, his mother died in distress?
Rudama didn't wonder where the overnight father was.

Because, as far as she knows about the habits of leopards, their population reproduction is somewhat similar to the Mosuo people on the banks of Lugu Lake, like walking marriage.Usually, male leopards live separately from females and have nothing to do with each other.During the breeding season, they will find a partner who looks pleasing to the eye, and then live separately. The cubs are born and grow up next to the female leopard.

So Rudama naturally substituted this habit into the night race, all of them are leopards.

As for where Ye came from, why hasn't he seen a beast that can transform into a human like him for so long?Rudama has never found a reasonable explanation.

At first she thought that Lorna's wolves were a race that could transform into human form, but later she realized that they were a group of pure giant wolves, without any "druid" blood like Ye.
