Chapter 118 Behave Yourself
Lin Cai, who was holding the little wolf in her arms, did not expect that the puppy would be so friendly. But just as she was about to take a look at the puppy, she heard the puppy howling loudly, for some reason.
Upon hearing the sound, Lin Cai looked down and met the puppy's eyes. The puppy's teary eyes and howling sounded truly pitiful. Only then did Lin Cai notice that there was half an arrow under the wolf cub's hind leg.
Seeing the broken arrow embedded in the wolf cub's hind leg, Lin Cai frowned as she looked at Gu Ershi, who stood there motionless.
"Gu Ershi, what's wrong with you? Did I teach you archery so you could kill dogs?"
Lin Cai mistook the wolf for a dog, and the two Gu brothers fell silent. Gu Dachui probably knew that Lin Cai might not have seen it before, which was why she didn't recognize it.
Following Lin Cai's words, he continued, "That's right, Ershi, how can you be so insensible?"
“If you’re looking for a target or prey, you should go up the mountain. How can you just lay a hand on a puppy?”
Gu Ershi's lips twitched when he heard what his elder brother said. This person had just been recognized, how could he stand here and lie through his teeth?
As Gu Dachui spoke, he snatched the medicine bottle from his younger brother's other hand and handed it to Lin Cai, who was about to help the little wolf retrieve the arrow.
After seeing the wolf cub's wound, Lin Cai placed it on the table, afraid that holding it in her arms would worsen its injury.
"Please don't move, okay? Let me remove the arrow from your wound, okay? If you behave, I'll cook you something delicious after I bandage your wound, okay?"
Lin Cai likes dogs, cats, and all furry animals. She wants to get the arrows, but she's afraid the little wolf won't cooperate.
So right now, he's discussing something with a little wolf.
Gu Dachui placed the medicine bottle on the table and, upon hearing Lin Cai's conversation with Xiao Lang, said, "I can help hold it down."
"No, you can't." Lin Cai refused as soon as she heard Gu Dachui's words: "It's still so small, it definitely can't stand the pain. If you hold it down, what if it gets injured a second time?"
"But if the wound isn't treated, it will never heal. If the wound doesn't heal in the dead of winter, it will just have to wait to die."
Lin Cai wasn't unaware of what Gu Dachui had said, but seeing the dog's pitiful appearance, she couldn't bring herself to harm it!
Seeing that neither of them was going to make a move, Ershi took two steps forward: "Should I do it instead...?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two men turned to look at him. Seeing their gazes, Ershi was so frightened that he took a step back.
"I just wanted to treat its wound. If I didn't treat it, it would be in pain, wouldn't it?"
"Didn't you inflict the injury on its leg? Are you sure it won't bite you if you treat its wound now?"
Ershi didn't say anything when he heard this. He felt that as long as the little wolf found an opportunity, it would definitely bite him.
Both brothers were right. Lin Cai had Gu Dachui hold down the little wolf's legs, and then looked at the little wolf with gentle eyes: "I'm going to help you remove the arrow. It might hurt a little. Be a good boy and bear with it. I'll give you meat to eat in a while."
As soon as she finished speaking, the little wolf howled. It was unclear whether it had truly understood or if it was just a coincidence.
After hearing Lin Cai say this, Gu Dachui grabbed the wolf cub with both hands, and then a howl echoed throughout the Gu family.
Scarface, who was inside the woodshed, heard the noise and immediately sat up in bed, scratching his head: "I must have been half asleep, how could there be wolves howling here!"
Besides, it's broad daylight now. No matter how fierce a wolf is, it's impossible for it to run into someone's house in broad daylight.
He thought he had misheard, so he lay back down, pulled the blanket up, and went back to sleep.
Lin Cai had just finished removing the arrow from Xiao Lang's leg when he saw Xiao Lang staring blankly. Then he looked up at the two brothers.
Did you all hear that sound just now?
The two brothers shook their heads in unison upon hearing the question: "What sound? We didn't hear anything. Did you hear anything?"
Hearing that the two brothers hadn't heard anything, Lin Cai looked down at the dying puppy.
She thought it was a puppy, but just now she seemed to hear a howl, which sounded a bit like a wolf's howl.
Both brothers said they didn't hear anything, so Lin Cai thought he must have misheard. After throwing the arrow in his hand on the table, he used a dagger to shave off all the fur around the wolf cub's wound.
She was just worried that there was too much hair around the wound, which would stick to the wound when applying medicine, so it was better to shave it off to prevent infection.
After bandaging the wolf cub, Lin Cai carried it directly into her house, leaving Er Shi somewhat dumbfounded.
He brought the wolf cub back to treat its wounds, and once the wounds are treated, he will definitely send it back to the mountain.
Now that Lin Cai has taken him back to the room, how can he possibly send the wolf cub back to the mountains?
Seeing his younger brother standing there in a daze, Gu Dachui tossed him the broken arrow: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and get rid of this."
"Big brother, she...she took the wolf back into the house."
"If you've already taken it home, then you've taken it home. Are you trying to snatch it back?"
Gu Dachui turned and walked out, while Ershi held the blood-stained arrow in his hand: "I didn't mean to take it back, it's just... is it really okay to keep it like this?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Dachui had to remind his younger brother, "She thought it was a dog!"
Ershi didn't know what to say. It was clearly a wolf cub, and he really couldn't understand how Lin Cai could see it as a dog.
The characteristics of wolves and dogs are so obvious, how can anyone not recognize them?
What they didn't know was that in the era when Lin Cai lived, some dogs looked like wolves, but they were actually dogs.
So at this moment, Lin Cai assumed that what Er Shi brought back was that kind of thing.
After settling the little wolf in, Lin Cai went to the kitchen. When she came out, she had a plate of fragrant meat in her hand.
Since Xiaochunhua passed away, Lin Cai has been sleeping alone in a room, and for some reason, she sometimes feels cold.
That night, Lin Cai finished tidying up and was getting ready to sleep when she saw the wolf cub in her den. She picked it up and took it with her.
Strangely enough, when this little wolf saw Ershi and the others, it would either bare its teeth, growl, or even make a posture as if it was preparing to attack.
But when it comes to Lin Cai, the little wolf becomes obedient. No matter what Lin Cai wants to do to it, it behaves itself, neither resisting nor biting.
