Little White Wolf (continued)
Jian Mo thought about it and realized it made sense, "That's why it pooped on top."
Wu Jiong: "Possibly."
Jian Mo looked at the Snow Pearl Fruit, still unable to get over her hesitation. After a long pause, she said, "Shall we take this Snow Pearl Fruit back? Jiujiu just did something bad; we definitely can't leave it to eat, otherwise it'll do it again next time."
The Flying-Winged Beast, somewhat unconvinced, raised its eyelids and glanced at Jian Mo, still showing only half of the white of its eye.
Wu Jiong patted it lightly.
Jian Mo didn't notice, and muttered, "Even if we're supposed to eat it, it doesn't seem like we'd really be able to eat much."
Wu Jiong didn't say it wasn't dirty or advise him to get used to it, but only said, "We just decided in a meeting that we'll start touring other tribes tomorrow. Or should I take the Snow Pearl Fruit out and exchange it for something else?"
In winter, people have more free time, and many tribes take advantage of this season to exchange goods and information to facilitate survival.
The same goes for the Riverside Tribe. Not only do people from other tribes come to their tribe, but people from their tribe also go to other tribes. This time, Wu Jiong will lead the team out to exchange goods.
Jian Mo already knew about this and asked, "Are you sure?"
Wu Jiong nodded. "The tribe has accumulated quite a few glazed pottery and glass items; we should be able to exchange them for a lot of things this time."
Jian Mo: "Which tribes are we going to?"
Wu Jiong: "Starting from our Ice River Tribe above, we'll go around in a circle, then return to our tribe via Yigu Tribe. It will take about five days."
When Jian Mo heard that they were all tribes he was familiar with, he immediately lost interest.
It's so cold outside. They're going out specifically to exchange goods, so they'll be traveling very fast. Even if they're riding on Wu Jiong's back, it won't be very comfortable.
Moreover, these exchange trips are all group activities, leaving little room for free time to explore and play.
Going there would only take five days of travel.
Jian Mo said, "Then I won't go. I'll stay in the tribe to take care of the Pack-Pack Beast and Flying-Winged Beast."
Wu Jiong wasn't surprised. "Okay. We'll leave early tomorrow morning. If you're not used to it, spend more time playing with Zhou Fu and the others during the day. If it's cold at night, you can borrow a few of the kittens to warm your bed; I've already talked to them about it."
Jian Mo burst out laughing, "You can lend this?"
Wu Jiong: "The little ones are warm."
Jian Mo couldn't stop laughing, "Okay, I understand."
Borrowing a child to warm the bed is really unreliable.
Jian Mo decided that if it got cold at night, she would open the window and light two more braziers of charcoal; she absolutely couldn't borrow someone else's child.
Unexpectedly, Wu Jiong had only been gone for half a day when, at noon, Jian Mo was sewing a pillow alone in the yard when a chubby little wolf came knocking on her door.
This little wolf is clearly a small orc in its beast form. Its white fur is very soft and fluffy, and it looks like a little Alaskan Malamute.
Although he is much larger than an Alaskan Malamute, he looks too clumsy and has the same demeanor.
Jian Mo sat in the courtyard and examined him closely. "Are you Zhou Dao?"
The little wolf nodded, came closer, let out a soft "Awooo," and then stammered, "Jian Mo, Awooo."
Jian Mo ruffled his fluffy head. "Oh, you can talk now."
The little wolf nodded, affectionately sniffed Jian Mo's wrist with its nose, and squatted down next to Jian Mo.
Jian Mo, "Why did you come alone? Didn't you play with the other children?"
This little wolf was so fat that Jian Mo couldn't help but glance at it again. Even cubs rarely grow so sturdy.
When he was an intern, he heard his colleagues complain that some cars were like dogs, blocking the entire driveway when they drove by.
In retrospect, some of these puppies could indeed be described as "a lot".
Ah no, some of the little wolves could indeed be described as "a lot".
The little wolf was very patient, squatting at Jian Mo's feet and watching him sew the pillow.
Jian Mo doesn't usually chase after children; as long as the little wolf doesn't cause trouble, he has no problem with it.
The little wolf sat for a while, and his head gradually began to feel sleepy.
The little wolf couldn't sit still, so it simply lay down on the ground, basked in the sun, and slowly fell asleep.
It's cold today; even though the sun is out, the temperature is still quite low.
Jian Mo saw the little wolf sleeping on the ground and worried that he would get cold, so she simply picked him up and planned to take him inside to sleep.
Having animal hides as a cushion would make things a little better.
Upon holding him, Jian Mo realized that this little wolf was actually a solid wolf cub, heavy and not at all chubby.
Because he was being held, his little belly bulged out, round and protruding.
Jian Mo smiled again and couldn't help but pat the little wolf's belly.
Upon touching it, Jian Mo discovered that the wolf cub's belly was somewhat hard, not the kind of hard that's soft yet firm, but rather a bit rough to the touch.
It's so hard; it's obviously not normal.
Jian Mo's expression turned serious, and he looked down at the little wolf.
The little wolf was actually awake, but he was feeling guilty. His eyes were half-closed, his ears were pressed against his head, and he didn't dare to make eye contact with Jian Mo.
Jian Mo asked, "Why would this little wolf come looking for him alone?"
He gently touched the wolf cub's belly and softened his voice, "Is your tummy upset?"
The little wolf hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Jian Mo, "What kind of discomfort is it? Is it the discomfort of not having pooped, or pain?"
The little wolf whispered, "I'm so full."
Jian Mo: "What did you eat that made you so full?"
The little wolf hesitated for a moment. "Meat."
Jian Mo heard that it wasn't some nonsense and breathed a sigh of relief, "Good baby, so you came to see me for treatment, right?"
The little wolf nodded.
Jian Mo asked again, "When did you eat it?"
Little Wolf: "Yesterday, in the evening."
Little Wolf isn't good at lying; Jian Mo asked him a few more questions and he found out.
Last night, the little wolf ate fish and meat with his friends, but he couldn't digest it. Today, his parents gave him roasted meat, and he's so full he feels uncomfortable.
He didn't dare tell his parents, so he secretly came to find Jian Mo.
