Chapter 392: Monkey-like Mushrooms
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xiaobai’s entire family walked behind Bai Wutong. When All Mi and Ah Duo’s tribe members saw this, they shouted, “Lord Wolf God, long live the Great Empress!”
The others did not worship the white wolf, but they were also shocked by the scene of the white wolf following behind Bai Wutong obediently. They shouted, “Lord Wolf God, long live the Great Empress!”
Their voices were like a bell. Xiaobai raised its head and puffed out its chest. It was quite arrogant and spirited.
Xiaolv was born and raised in the wilderness. She walked under the noses of so many people and her eyes were filled with vigilance. The little wolf cubs imitated Xiaobai and took proud steps. Their little butts were even round, but they were so cute that even the women, who were very afraid of wolves, could not help but show a look of adoration.
The villa where Bai Wutong lived was almost completed and renovated. There were still some furniture and some soft clothes that were not ready, so she had been staying in the tent for the time being.
When designing the house, Bai Wutong had specially designed a place for Xiaobai to live. Not only was it convenient for it to enter and exit, but there was also a luxurious wolf den and courtyard that belonged to it. From its wolf den, it could even enter the house directly. It took Bai Wutong a lot of effort.
She had thought that she might not need it after Xiaobai left. Now that Xiaobai had returned with his family, he could move in directly.
Bai Wutong padded the wolf den and asked Xiaobai, “Do you like it?”
Xiaobai was speechless. He plunged into his luxurious wolf den and glanced at Bai Wutong lazily and proudly.
His expression was so lively as if it had turned into a spirit.
Bai Wutong smiled and got someone to prepare some food for them.
Xiaobai had been raised by Bai Wutong. It ate everything, while Xiaolv only ate living things. Xiaobai was also a considerate wolf husband. It would take the initiative to hold the chicken that Bai Wutong had prepared for them in its mouth and bring it to Xiaolv to comfort its uneasy emotions.
The wolf cubs had just stopped breastfeeding and their teeth were still blunt. Xiaobai would even tear open the chickens and throw them in front of them to make it easier for them to eat. Bai Wutong could not help but sigh. Time passed so quickly. Xiaobai, who was rolling around in the field and playing with Stinky, could even behave like a father.
After a few days of adaptation, Xiaolv finally dared to boldly appear in everyone’s vision with the wolf cubs.
It was also very smart. Knowing that everyone was afraid of Bai Wutong and would not hurt the wolf cubs, it brought the wolf cubs along. They pounced on chickens that day and caught ducks the next day. Their sudden appearance often frightened the residents and children so much that they cried out.
Even though they knew that Xiaolv was teaching the wolf cubs to hunt, it still brought trouble to the lives of the residents.
Bai Wutong could not bear to forcefully restrain them.
Just as Bai Wutong was thinking about how to let people get along peacefully with wolves, Village Chief Zhao complained to Bai Wutong that there were too many field mice in the field and that they had wreaked havoc on many crops. Bai Wutong suddenly had an idea.
There were especially many rodents in the area, and in the past, their main source of food was the grassroots berry seeds.
Ever since a field mouse took a bite of a delicious potato, it was as if it had tasted the most delicious food in the world. When it returned, it would gather its family and friends and come for a meal when it had nothing to do.
Apart from field mice, wild boars, porcupines, hares, hedgehogs, and birds… they often returned to visit the grain fields.
It was impossible for everyone to stay there all day and chase them away. If they were not careful, their vegetable garden would rot.
Wolves were an important member of the natural food chain. They could stabilize the number of herbivores and achieve a balance.
Bai Wutong decisively sent out the team leader, Xiaobai, the deputy team leader, Xiaolv, as well as four subordinates, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
Bai Wutong came to the vegetable field that was growing extremely well. Village Chief Zhao pointed at a half-eaten cabbage bitterly. “More than 20 of them were eaten yesterday!” Then he complained, “So be it if these guys eat the vegetables. They even make small bites at each of them. It’s really infuriating.”
The farmers could not bear to see their hard work ruined. They thought of many ways to chase them away, but their efforts were ineffective.
They did not work in the workshop and relied on these land to harvest more food. These days, they could not sleep well at night after being wreaked by small animals.
There were many small animals, which meant that the local natural environment was very good.
When Carefree City became stronger, it would be difficult to see such a situation in the future.
Bai Wutong stroked Xiaobai’s head. “Whether we can eat an additional meal today depends on you.”
Xiaobai was very familiar with the word ‘additional meal’.
In the past, as long as it caught prey and found it bland, it would bring it back and let Bai Wutong roast it and stew it.
After Bai Wutong spoke, Xiaobai jumped out with a whoosh. Not long after, the potato field was wiped clean and many field mice fled in panic.
Xiaobai took a bite and bit more than ten field mice to death at lightning speed.
It trotted to Bai Wutong with the field mice in its mouth. It caught four to five of them at once and made three trips back and forth. Soon, there was a small hill of field mice in front of Bai Wutong.
Stinky jumped up and clapped. He praised, “Xiaobai is so awesome. Xiaobai is the most powerful wolf in the world! I want to catch many field mice like you.”
Xiaobai glanced at him proudly and raised his chest and head high. He looked like he had reluctantly accepted him as his disciple.
Bai Wutong smiled. “Not bad, Xiaobai is really amazing!”
Village Chief Zhao was also dumbfounded. Xiaobai was actually so good at catching field mice.
The locals who were watching Xiaobai’s magnificent feat shouted excitedly, “Lord Wolf God is protecting us! Lord Wolf God is protecting us!”
After being praised by everyone, Xiaobai seemed to have found joy. It rushed out and chased the pests away like a strong gust of wind. It even caught a few rabbits.
The wolf cubs also wanted to try. They followed behind Xiaobai and picked up scraps. If they could not catch any, Xiaobai and Xiaolv would also catch a few field mice for them to play with and train their hunting skills.
Xiaobai’s family had found a sense of belonging in the vegetable field. Bai Wutong thought of Chu Tianbao again. When he returned and saw Xiaobai’s family, he would definitely be very happy.
The hot weather suddenly had thunderstorms and huge waves. Fortunately, the fishing boats had all returned.
After the rain, there would often be many edible mushrooms growing in the forest.
Auntie Yang happened to not need to work that day, so she followed the others into the forest to pick mushrooms.
The mushrooms picked in the morning were the most delicious. Auntie Yang had eaten a type of mushroom picked by the locals and had been thinking about it ever since. That day, she wanted to pick as many as she could.
Soon, Auntie Yang discovered this mushroom under a big tree.
It was fair and strong and looked very fat. Thinking of the taste of stewing it in chicken soup and roasting it, Auntie Yang immediately took action and picked it into the basket.
She followed everyone deeper into the forest. Because there were many people, the quiet and deep forest that was filled with unknown dangers did not seem so terrifying.
Not long after, she picked a few more beautiful mushrooms. The moment she looked down, she realized that there was a strange mushroom that looked like a white monkey and was quite beautiful..
