Meng Yan's Transformation

The winter vacation is over, and Xiao Mengyan and her brothers have started going to school.

Zhan Zi'an was the only one in the village who went to high school. He had to walk dozens of miles of mountain roads, leaving home before dawn every day, without any companions. There were often wolves on the road, but he had never encountered them. He had only seen them from a distance or heard their howling from a distance.

The most recent time was when Zhan Zi'an saw a green light flashing like a firefly in the dim night. He felt that the wolf's eyes were flashing with a fierce light. A group of hungry wolves came... Fortunately, the wolves did not come towards Zhan Zi'an and suddenly changed direction. However, Zhan Zi'an was so scared that he collapsed under a rock. After returning home, he had a high fever for several days. Zhan Yu asked the head teacher for several days of sick leave for Zhan Zi'an.

The wilderness atmosphere created by the colorful bushes and thatch in the Great Northern Wilderness made the wolves feel close to them. They were deeply moved and raised their heads and pointed mouths to let out long, mournful howls... That long howl condensed the grief and sadness into a strong and cold will that even the sun could not melt.

Wolves are basically carnivorous animals. They have a large appetite and can eat more than ten kilograms of meat at a time. In summer, they occasionally eat green grass, young shoots and berries, but in winter, their regular food is hares, mice, cats and civets, and they can occasionally catch small birds.

Wolves rarely attack humans unless they are threatened by them. But I don’t know what happened this year. School children are often attacked by wolves, and I heard that they are ungrateful wolves.

Two of Mengyan's classmates were bitten by the ungrateful wolf, one had his leg bitten off, and the other had his arm bitten. So Zhan Ziqiang had to send Zhan Zixun and Mengyan to and from school every day.

One of Zhan Zi'an's classmates was killed by wolves. Zhan Zi'an had become very timid since his last encounter with wolves from a distance. When he heard that his classmate had been killed by wolves, he became even more afraid and dared not go to school.

"A white-eyed wolf has a circle of white hair around its eyes, which is very conspicuous and looks like four eyes, a pair of white eyes and a pair of gray eyes. White-eyed wolves like to live alone and are active at night. They are good at running and climbing. They are very cunning and will use the terrain and trees and other environments to escape danger. They are also very aggressive and have a strong sense of territory." This is the information about white-eyed wolves that Zhan Zi'an got from other classmates' handwritten copies.

On this day, Wang Baogui and Cuihua came to visit Xiao Mengyan and sent "Yellow Black Tiger" back to the Zhan family. "Yellow Black Tiger" saw Xiao Mengyan and Zhan Ziqiang and wagged its tail happily, looked at them with its innocent big eyes, jumped back and forth in front of them, and played around Xiao Mengyan, spinning around non-stop, rubbing Zhan Ziqiang's body with its mouth, just like a good friend who had been reunited after a long time, and was indescribably happy and intimate...

"'Huang Heihu', why have you gained weight? Your belly is so round." Xiao Mengyan said while touching Huang Heihu's head with her hand.

"'Huang Heihu's' belly is not fat and round, it means she is pregnant, which means she is carrying puppies!" said Wang Baogui.

"'Huang Heihu' is going to be a mother! 'Huang Heihu' you are so awesome!" Xiao Mengyan said happily and excitedly.

"I originally wanted to wait for 'Huang Hei Hu' to give birth to puppies, let it have a good rest, and then send it back to you, but I heard that some children were attacked by wolves on their way to school recently, so I wanted to find out and see if I can be of any help to you," said Wang Baogui.

"Yes, people are in a panic now. Zi'an was so scared that he had a high fever for several days. Even after the fever subsided, he was too scared to go to school. If Zhan Yu sent Zi'an to school every day, he would not have the time and energy! If it really doesn't work, let's send Zi'an back to his eldest brother's house in Liaoning to study in high school in Liaoning. In addition to reducing the burden on Zhan Yu and me, it can also ensure safety on the way to school. Zi'an's eldest brother said that their high school can live in the school building and can go to school as a day student. Xiao Mengyan and Zixun still need Ziqiang to escort them to school. Sometimes other parents escort them and Ziqiang can be replaced. Fortunately, there are four or five children in the village who go to elementary school, and parents from each household take turns to escort their children to elementary school. There is only Zi'an in high school, and there is no one to replace him. If you don't come, I would like to invite you. You are a famous hunter in this area for dozens of miles. You must know more about wolves than we do. Tell us what's going on with these wolves? Think about how to deal with wolves!" Yunqing said anxiously.

"Grandpa Wang, what should people do if they meet wolves? What are wolves most afraid of?" Zhan Ziqiang also asked.

"When you encounter a wolf, don't run away. As long as you know what the wolf is most afraid of, you can kill it with one punch even with your bare hands," said Wang Baogui.

"Can a wolf be killed with fists?" the children and Yunqing asked in surprise in unison.

Old man Wang Baogui lit up his pipe with a smile and continued, "Yes, it's about endurance, strategy, and teamwork! No animal is better than a wolf. As a social animal, it will not show mercy to any prey. Moreover, their thinking and organizational abilities are particularly strong. As long as an animal is targeted by a wolf pack, it basically has no chance of escape. In terms of appearance, wolves and dogs are very similar, but there are also great differences. They belong to the class of mammals, the order of carnivora, and the family of canines. The gray wolf is the largest wild animal in the family of canines. An adult male wolf is more than one meter long and can weigh up to 160 kilograms. They like to move at night, and there is a strong hierarchy in the wolf pack. Every time they get prey, they can only wait for the wolf king to eat it first. Some low-level wolves can only eat some leftovers and have no right to find a mate in the wolf pack..."

"Hahaha, Mr. Wang is here! Why didn't anyone notify me? I can come back early!" Zhan Yu said with a smile. Zhan Yu came back early from studying in the commune today, and when he saw the "yellow black tiger" in the yard, he knew that Mr. Wang Baogui was here.

"What are you doing with such serious faces?" Zhan Yu asked. He was surprised to see that everyone was quietly opening their eyes.

Yunqing and the children were listening with great interest, but were suddenly interrupted by Zhan Yu.

"I was telling them about the wolves," said Wang Baogui.

"Don't talk about it for now. Let's talk about it after we eat. I also want to hear the story of the wolf! Yunqing, go and cook two dishes. I'll have a couple of drinks with Uncle Wang!" Zhan Yu said.

Yunqing and the children were still not satisfied.

"Grandpa Wang, what are wolves afraid of?" Xiao Mengyan continued to ask.

"Go and help mom cook. After dinner, let Grandpa Wang tell you!" Zhan Yu ordered.

"You go and work first. While you work, guess carefully what the wolves are afraid of. If you guess correctly, you will get a reward." Grandpa Wang said with a smile while smoking his pipe and went to talk to Zhan Yu.
