Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Ever since he learned about the wolf pack, He Lai found an opportunity to take a leave and went deep into the mountains to communicate with the wolf pack.

Since they wanted to repay the favor, He Lai talked to them straight out.

He Lai moved quickly and soon met the group of wolves in the deep mountains.

As usual, he got out a pile of pork and placed it in front of them, but this time he did not leave. He just waited quietly for the wolf king to appear.

As more and more wild wolves gathered, the wolf king also walked out of the pack, staring straight at He Lai with his eyes.

He Lai also recognized the wolf king at a glance. After all, as soon as it came out, the other wild wolves immediately lowered their heads and dared not look it in the eye. The meaning of submission was obvious.

He Lai threw over a piece of venison, but the wolf king didn't even look at it, nor did he eat it. He just kept looking at He Lai, very surprised at how He Lai could produce food out of thin air.

He Lai didn't care whether the wolf king could understand him or not, and just started talking to himself.

"You should be the leader of this pack of wolves. I heard that you have been sending prey to that village."

He Lai pointed in the direction of Hejia Village. The wolf king twisted his head, a little confused.

"Don't go there again, and promise me not to hurt the villagers and stay away from here, or I will kill you."

After He Lai finished speaking, he touched a big tree next to him, and instantly the big tree was taken into He Lai's space.

Afterwards, He Lai specially brought out a large pile of pork, so much that it looked like a small mountain.

When the Wolf King saw what He Lai was doing, his eyes fell on the pile of pork and he was also stunned. Obviously, he didn't expect He Lai to have so much pork.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, He Lai took the pork back.

After looking at the wolf king, he decided to use another ruthless trick, so he released several adult blind bears in the space.

As soon as the blind bear came out of the space, he saw so many wolves and immediately let out a roar!

Because they had been eating and drinking in space, the blind bears had grown to be very large, each weighing 500 to 600 kilograms! They were comparable to brown bears, and when they stood up, they were much bigger than He Lai.

When the wolves saw the blind bear roaring, they immediately became chaotic and retreated one after another. However, the blind bear was too big for them to contend with.

Wolves are like this. They will not attack wild animals unless they have no other choice. They will generally stay away from large carnivores such as tigers and brown bears when they encounter them.

Fortunately, He Lai did not intend to let the blind bears stay outside for too long. He touched their backs and regained the space.

The blind bear did not resist and was very obedient to his master He Lai. After all, he had food and drink in the space and did not have to worry about anything. Except for a few beast instincts, he was no different from a giant panda.

"See? Take the meat and leave here, or I don't mind taking you in as well." He Lai said to the Wolf King.

The wolf king looked at He Lai's series of actions and understood what He Lai meant. He didn't want this group of wolves to disturb their lives, and he didn't need the prey they gave him.

Looking at the little bit of pork nearby, the wolves growled and responded quickly, taking away the little bit of pork left by He Lai and moving away from the area.

In the end, only the wolf king and his queen were left, with five little wolf cubs behind them.

The wolf king turned his head and looked at the wolves that had taken the pork. After making sure that they were all far away, he made up his mind and licked the wolf queen and had a conversation.

Finally, each of them picked up a cub, walked over, and came in front of He Lai. They put the cub down, crawled down, and pushed the cub to He Lai's feet.

He Lai was speechless. Did it want him to help raise its children?

"Do you really want to give the child to me?" He Lai asked.

When the wolf king heard what He Lai said, he pushed the cub towards He Lai again and called out softly.

"Okay, I'll take them. Don't worry, I will raise them well."

After He finished speaking, he put both cubs into the space.

The wolf king witnessed the disappearance of the cub again, and realized that He Lai had accepted his child.

Then he left with the wolf queen and the three remaining cubs.

The wolf pack has a strict class system. Only the wolf king and the wolf queen have the right to mate. Other male wolves who want to reproduce have only two choices: they can leave the pack and form partnerships with other lone wolves, or challenge the current wolf king. If they win, they can become the new wolf king, which means they can control the wolf pack.

After He Lai saw the wolf king leading the wolf pack away, it seemed that the wolf king understood his meaning and left. Then he released some hares and wild boars from the space and let them live in this area for Xiaohu and his friends to hunt.

……

When He Lai finished all this and returned to the steel mill, he unexpectedly met Ran Qiuye on the road, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

At this time, she was pushing her bicycle on the side of the road. She was wearing a dress and a pair of women's leather shoes, and it was very inconvenient for her to walk.

He Lai rode in front of her, stopped his bike, and greeted her: "Comrade Ran Qiuye, long time no see!"

Ran Qiuye looked at He Lai in front of him, stunned for a moment, and then he remembered after thinking for a while: "Are you Comrade He Lai? Long time no see!"

"Haha, it's okay. You still remember me? What's wrong? Did your bicycle chain fall off?"

He came to look at her bicycle anklet and asked.

"Yeah, I'm not sure how to fix that. I'm going to go see if there's a repair shop out front and get it fixed there."

Ran Qiuye said a little embarrassedly.

"Let me help you. The repair shop is far away from here!" After saying that, He parked his bicycle and took Ran Qiuye's bicycle.

Turning the bicycle over and looking at the chain that was squeezed into a ball, it was no wonder that Ran Qiuye couldn't fix it.

However, this little thing was not difficult for He Lai. He picked up two branches and skillfully straightened the chain easily and reinstalled it on the gear.

After shaking the pedals with his hands and finding that there was no problem, he straightened the bicycle and returned it to Ran Qiuye.

"Okay. Next time you encounter something like this, you can just follow my method. This way you don't have to worry about getting your hands dirty."

He Lai threw away the branch in his hand and said with a smile.

The chain is like this, it is covered with grease and dirt. This is why many people don’t want to repair it themselves, especially girls. After all, their hands are covered with grease and dirt, and there is no place to wash them on the road.

"Okay, thank you." Ran Qiuye nodded and said.

"You're welcome. I haven't seen you in a few years. Where do you work now?"

He Lai suddenly wanted to know about Ran Qiuye's current situation. After all, he didn't want to see an educated young woman being forced to sweep the streets by those people.

"Ah? Um... I'm working as a librarian now."

Ran Qiuye didn't expect that He Lai still cared about her work. The last time they met, he asked her not to be a teacher. After a moment of daze, she still answered him.

"Well, the library is good. You can read more books and cultivate your sentiments."

He Lai responded.

"Well, He Lai, why are you so concerned about my work problems?" Ran Qiuye asked curiously.

"Uh... nothing, just asking casually! Hehe." He Lai could only smile awkwardly to cover up his guilty conscience.

Ran Qiuye looked at He Lai's expression and smiled slightly.

"Comrade He Lai, you seem a little strange!"

"Ah? What's so strange about that?" He Lai was a little confused.

"I'll tell you next time I have the chance! Goodbye!" Ran Qiuye glanced at He Lai's appearance, lowered his head and smiled, then rode away on his bicycle.

(If it were in the future, it might be 'weird' and cute!)

"Uh...it's confusing." He Lai touched his head and rode in the opposite direction.
