Chapter 702 Cause and Effect
Just then, Tang Yuaner accidentally didn't see the slippery stone under his feet.
He staggered and rolled directly into the mountain torrent below the mountain.
Tang Yuaner choked on two mouthfuls of muddy water and paddled desperately to climb to the shore.
But the mountain torrent carried a lot of mud and sand, and the buoyancy of the water became very small. His body kept sinking down. He tried very hard but couldn't climb to the shore.
A wave rushed over and hit the shore, then bounced back and pushed Tang Yuan to the middle of the river.
Before he could react to what was going on, his body began to spin rapidly, and the mountains and the riverbank were spinning.
The whole world was spinning.
He felt that he was as heavy as a stone, and it seemed that a pair of giant hands were pulling him to the bottom of the water mercilessly.
He struggled hard, but big mouthfuls of mud still poured into his stomach, and the water was about to cover his head.
Tang Yuan was desperate and thought he was dead this time.
Baozi wanted to jump into the water to save Tang Yuan.
We must die together.
At this moment, a black shadow as fast as lightning jumped into the water.
Yes.
It was the black wolf.
He jumped into the water without hesitation and swam towards Tangyuan.
Wolves can swim.
It was only a moment, and Baozi didn't have time to react before he saw the black wolf pulling Tangyuan up to the shore.
Tangyuan fell on the shore, and he was so tired that he didn't even have the energy to be happy about his escape from death.
Baozi rushed up and forced Tangyuan to spit out the muddy water.
The black wolf looked at them, left proudly, and walked two steps and stopped.
He turned back and howled softly.
The voice seemed to say: Follow me.
Baozi picked up Tangyuan, "Brother, brother, how are you?"
Tangyuan shook his head weakly, he had no strength in his body.
He couldn't speak.
The black wolf raised his voice a little, and a low roar came out of his throat, which seemed to be a threat.
Baozi then realized that the black wolf was still staring at them, and it showed a very human expression of dissatisfaction.
How can this wolf be like a human?
Is it going to catch up with it?
Baozi was worried, so he carried Baozi up the mountain and stayed with a pack of wolves.
That would feed the wolves.
Don't think he didn't think about it, he's not stupid, the wolf just gave birth to a litter of cubs.
When they get hungry, they will eat them as dry food.
The black wolf looked at Baozi and didn't move.
The wolf showed a threatening expression and bared its sharp teeth.
Baozi could see that the wolf was unwilling to let them go.
He and Tangyuan'er together were no match for the wolf, so it was just a matter of one bite.
He still didn't understand how the black wolf climbed out of the trap.
The trap was high and deep, and the wolf was so badly injured at the time.
Then his eyes fell on the black wolf's injured abdomen and hind legs.
As a result, he saw that they were intact.
He understood instantly that it must be the work of that damned boy Tang Yuan'er.
He was kind-hearted, so he secretly threw a pill to the black wolf.
The black wolf was fine, and now it was good.
The wolf was now targeting the two of them.
He didn't know what the wolf wanted to do.
But no matter what, the wolf did go into the water to rescue Tang Yuan.
If the wolf hadn't gone into the water to rescue Tang Yuan, he probably wouldn't have been able to save Tang Yuan.
At that time, the two of them would really be washed away by the water together.
Now he could only take it one step at a time, and he couldn't deal with a wolf with his little brain.
The main thing was that he didn't know what the wolf was thinking.
Even if the wolf was treating the two of them as dry food now, he could only take it one step at a time.
Holding Tang Yuan, he followed the black wolf into the cave with difficulty.
As soon as he entered the cave, he saw four wolf cubs having fun in the cave.
Although it was only one day, the four wolf cubs were already full of energy. They probably smelled the familiar smell of their mother and rushed to the entrance of the cave with a howl.
When they saw the two strangers, the four wolf cubs stood together cautiously, squeezing each other and staring at them.
These wolf cubs were starving.
They had not eaten a single bite since they were born.
The black wolf walked calmly past Tangyuan and Baozi and came to a corner of the cave. The four wolf cubs smelled their mother's scent and cried.
The wolf cubs happily threw themselves into the black wolf's arms and greedily ate their mother's food.
The black wolf lay there to let his babies eat and drink to their heart's content, while he stretched out his wolf tongue and licked the wolf cubs' black fur over and over again, until the babies were licked shiny all over.
Baozi sat on the stone wall near the exit of the cave holding Tangyuan, watching the black wolf vigilantly.
If the black wolf really rushed over, he would push Tangyuan out and use his body to resist the black wolf, believing that he could give Tangyuan a chance to escape.
But thinking about the surging mud and water outside, what's the point of Tangyuan escaping outside.
Either he would drown or be fed to the wolf.
After a while, Tangyuan woke up.
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw his brother holding him.
He suddenly felt a little comforted. As long as he was with his brother, he never felt afraid.
Even though the days now were extremely hard.
Turning his head, he saw the cold, strange, and cruel wolf eyes of the black wolf again.
Shocked.
But the black wolf turned his head away and didn't look at him at all.
Tangyuan saw the four wolf cubs sucking hard in the black wolf's arms.
"You finally woke up. I was almost worried to death."
Baozi touched Tangyuan's forehead. He didn't have a fever, but it was only for a while. Who knows if he will have a fever tonight.
What worried him more was that they were all children.
Now they are really in a desperate situation. On one side is a wolf with four wolf cubs, and on the other side is a raging flood. The two of them have nothing to eat or drink. Even if the wolf doesn't eat them, the two of them can't survive for long.
Tangyuan looked at the black wolf curiously.
"Brother Baozi, I remember that it was the black wolf who saved me."
Baozi looked at the black wolf and the wolf cubs who were kind and filial to each other and felt deeply helpless.
Their current predicament is not all because of Tangyuan's kindness.
"Tangyuan, you gave the pill to the black wolf, right?"
Hearing this, Tangyuan couldn't help but lower his head. He was a child who made a mistake.
"Forget it, I won't say anything to you. I know you are kind-hearted, but do you remember the story of Zhongshan Wolf and the story of "The Farmer and the Snake" that mom told you? You don't remember anything. Although you are kind-hearted, you also saw it.
The black wolf has saved you now. There is a flood around us now. Once the black wolf can't find prey, the two of us will be the black wolf's prey."
Tangyuan shook his head, "Brother, I didn't expect it. I just thought that the black wolf was going to be a mother soon, so pitiful. I just wanted to save it."
What else can Baozi say.
No matter what, the younger brother saved the black wolf, and the black wolf has saved the younger brother now, even if the black wolf chooses to eat them in the end.
That is also natural. This is the cycle of the food chain, and neither of them can violate this rule.
