Chapter 4, Wolf Girl (Part 2)

Looking at the child in her arms, who appeared somewhat frail for reasons unknown, Lei Zhen's mother revealed a hint of a bitter smile. Her man had died early, and the pressures of life had already taken a toll on her health. Coupled with the daily hardships of living outdoors with her two daughters, and the constant struggles and hardships they faced, she could no longer provide milk for Lei Zhen.

The village chief pondered for half a day before continuing: "If the she-wolf is pushed to her limits, she will bite her own pups to death. If everyone rushes in, this she-wolf will not be able to escape, but that would only end up harming Lei Zhen."

Although it seemed incredible, after watching Lei Zhen, who had been carried away by the mother wolf for seventeen or eighteen days, still full of vitality, Lei Zhen's mother nodded her head

Thus, the she-wolf followed the villagers and Lei Zhen's mother all the way to the entrance of the small mountain village, before finally wandering off on her own.

"You see clearly, it is a mother wolf that has just given birth to cubs," the village chief said, looking at the mother wolf's noticeably swollen teats. "A mother wolf typically has at least four or five cubs in a litter, yet there is only one in her den. It seems she has taken your child; she is not hungry, but rather uncomfortable from the fullness, wanting Lei Zhen to help suckle the excess milk. She has been nurturing Lei Zhen for so long that he already carries her scent; she has come to regard Lei Zhen as her own cub."

The wolf also understands human nature; you carry the scent of thunder. It should know who you are. Go seek it out and discuss, to see if it is willing to return the thunder to you

It is unclear when it began, but the vigilance and wildness in its eyes gradually transformed into a deep, inscrutable color, and a low, murmuring sound emanated from its throat

Leizhen's mother walked out of the compartment, accompanied by two little girls with wide-open eyes. Bathed in the faint moonlight filtering through the window, Leizhen's mother gazed at her son, who was sleeping soundly with a satisfied expression. She gently wiped away a bit of milk residue from the corner of his mouth. After a long silence, she finally spoke softly: "Son, remember, from today onwards, you have two mothers. She is also your mother, your wolf mother"

When it comes to the place of grievance, Lei Zhen's mother was already in tears, pointing at the she-wolf before her, she cried out: "I have said so much, do you understand at all?! I beg you... please... give my son back to me... okay... he is my very lifeline!"

Leizhen's mother nodded slightly

In the end, the she-wolf actually bit down on her own little cub, which was rolling around with Lei Zhen, and picked it up in her mouth, then silently took a few steps to the right.

As it explored its own nose, gently caressing Lei Zhen's face, the still-sleeping Lei Zhen let out a series of soft giggles. When a soft object was inserted into his mouth, Lei Zhen instinctively began to suck vigorously. The long-lost sweetness and fragrance prompted him to stretch out both arms, tightly embracing the object brought to his lips, and he sucked even harder.

If you want to retrieve Lei Zhen, there is only one way

The village chief stood at a distance behind Lei Zhen's mother. Although he was already over sixty years old, he remained sharp of hearing and sight. He carefully observed the mother wolf, which had revealed its fierce demeanor due to being startled, as well as the wolf's den that it had been cautiously guarding. After pondering for a while, the village chief finally spoke softly: "Miss Lei, do not be afraid, and do not look back. We are all here. Can you hear what I am saying?"

At this moment, the mother who had experienced great sorrow and joy in life, and who had made every effort to find her son, tightly embraced her child, repeatedly saying the same words to the she-wolf standing nearby: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you..."

In light of this situation, the village chief said to Lei Zhen's mother: "It seems that the she-wolf truly regards Lei Zhen as her own cub; she is worried and afraid that the child might go hungry!"

As night fell once again, a wild wolf, with prey in its mouth, stealthily approached a house made of mud bricks in a small mountain village. It dropped the prey it was carrying, and when it suddenly stood upright, using its front paws to claw at the tightly shut wooden door, it was astonished to find that the door, which should have been firmly secured, was actually pushed open by it

Lei Zhen's mother suddenly raised her arm forcefully. Just as the village chief silently thought that something was amiss, Lei Zhen's mother was already pointing at the she-wolf that was staring intently at her, shouting: "I have been standing here for so long, yet I have not seen your mate. You, like me, are a widow, aren't you? You have your own children; why do you want to snatch my son, a widow's son? I do not have two or three! I am counting on my son to carry on the family line, and I am relying on him to support me in my old age. I cannot allow the Lei family to die out in my hands...

I am counting on my son to carry on the family line, and I am relying on him to support me in my old age. I cannot allow the Lei family to die out in my hands..."

A head filled with a mix of suspicion and anticipation quietly peeked through the crack of the door into the room, its two eyes emitting a faint green glow in the dark space. Soon, its attention was drawn to Lei Zhen, who was lying on the earthen bed, and it found itself unconsciously walking in front of him

Lei He - Picture - The body of Lei Zhen's mother trembled incessantly. At the village chief's gesture, she cautiously approached the wolf's den, making every effort to avoid causing any misunderstanding with the mother wolf. She looked at a child lying in the den, whose dissatisfaction was evident as he pouted, seemingly ready to burst into tears at any moment. When her arms finally embraced the child, who had been lost for over ten days and was now found again, she savored the poignant feeling of the blood bond between mother and child. Experiencing the complex emotions that arose after a seemingly hopeless situation turned bright, Lei Zhen's mother truly became entranced. The child, still pouting in dissatisfaction, appeared ready to cry at any moment.

Experiencing the complex emotions that arose after a seemingly hopeless situation turned bright, Lei Zhen's mother truly became entranced.

The village chief, having roughly guessed the reason behind the matter, shook his head silently

Looking at the little wolf he held close, Lei Zhen wore a face full of happiness. Although his mother was anxious, she clearly understood that in terms of insight and intellect, the village chief was far superior to her. She had to remember every word the village chief said and follow his every instruction.

"It doesn't matter," the village chief glanced at the she-wolf trailing behind the group and sighed, saying, "If it can return the child to you, it won't take it back again. It probably can't bear to part with Lei Zhen and wants to see us off, after all, it has nursed Lei Zhen for such a long time."

Lei Zhen's mother bit her lip with all her might, exerting every effort to suppress a panicked scream, for at that moment, the she-wolf actually opened its mouth and lunged at Lei Zhen. Lei Zhen had just turned one year old; not to mention being bitten by the she-wolf's row of teeth capable of crushing a wooden stick, even being licked by the she-wolf's tongue, which could clean the meat scraps off bones, would be unbearable for him Lei Zhen had just turned one year old; not to mention being bitten by the she-wolf's row of teeth capable of crushing a wooden stick, even being licked by the she-wolf's tongue, which could clean the meat scraps off bones, would be unbearable for him

A few days later, one night, Lei Zhen's mother suddenly heard a sound outside the door that resembled knocking. When she lit the oil lamp and put on her clothes to open the door, she was astonished to find that the person who had knocked was no longer there. Instead, beneath the door frame lay a wild rabbit, its throat marked with several bite marks, its body still twitching slightly.

"Do not regard it as a wolf," the village chief cautiously reminded from behind Lei Zhen's mother. "Just think of it as a woman who has taken your son, has fallen in love with him, and truly treats him as her own son."

I believe it is because of the scent of you on Lei Zhen that the she-wolf allows you to come so close to her; we, as mere mortals, could never approach her like that

It lowered its head, gazing with a complex expression at Lei Zhen, who was curled up with the little wolf. In the suffocating tension that made Lei Zhen's mother feel as if her heart might leap from her chest, it placed its nose gently against Lei Zhen's face, softly rubbing. Perhaps it felt ticklish, or perhaps it enjoyed the warm breath that the mother wolf exhaled from her nostrils, which sprinkled onto Lei Zhen's face. In this utterly bizarre moment, Lei Zhen lay in the wolf's den, letting out a laugh that was pure to the extreme.

The she-wolf stayed in a room belonging to humans, and her animal instincts made it clear to her that there was a human presence in another small room of this adobe hut, and those humans were even secretly watching her. This feeling made the she-wolf uneasy, but looking at Lei Zhen, who was tightly clinging to her and struggling to suckle, she ultimately chose to quietly lie beside him. It was only after Lei Zhen had drunk enough and was satisfied that she jumped down from the earthen bed, casting a complex glance at the door curtain of the small partition that had not been lifted. Then, without making a sound, she slipped through the crack of the door and vanished into the distant black wilderness.

The village chief blocked the way at hetushu.com, where villagers armed with various weapons were ready to charge into the valley to hunt down the she-wolf. Amidst the crowd, Lei Zhen's mother finally revealed a hint of a smile; she could finally take her son home. However, after walking a short distance, she suddenly heard a villager's exclamation: "Look, that she-wolf hasn't given up; it's following us!"

Every few days, different types of game are delivered to her doorstep, and without exception, each of these prey bears several deep bite marks on the neck

A child who is only one year old can only drink a porridge made from a mixture of white flour and cornmeal every day. How could Lei Zhen not rapidly lose weight?

The she-wolf lay quietly, silently gazing at the child held in the embrace of the thunder-struck mother. In her eyes flickered a light that, from a human perspective, could be described as a glow of "sadness".

Leizhen's mother stared blankly at the she-wolf in front of her, her eyes revealing a hint of unease and a strong wildness. The village chief had undoubtedly presented her with an enormous dilemma. She was but a single person and did not understand wolf language; how could she negotiate with a she-wolf to ask for her son back

The she-wolf quietly gazed at the woman before her, who was weeping uncontrollably. Observing the woman's sorrowful and despairing tears, they cascaded down her face, tracing brief yet beautiful arcs in the air before plummeting forcefully to the hard ground.

Reflecting on the moment when Lei Zhen was at the full moon, he grasped nothing in his hands. Lei Zhen's mother felt her knees weaken. If this mother wolf did not return her son, would Lei Zhen's life truly become as foretold in the "Full Moon Grasp" ceremony, where he would learn nothing, accomplish nothing, and ultimately transform into a creature that is neither human nor wolf?
