Chapter 7 Chapter 6 Never Put Your Fate in the Hands of Others

From the first time I allowed Green to go out of the house without attracting too many people's attention, I gradually took him farther and farther, and sometimes even took him for a walk on the grass by Huanhua Creek.A wild wolf is walking leisurely on the main road in the city. This is something that many urban people can't dream of, but I walk with wolves every day. However, based on Yifeng's experience of recognizing Green's true face at the first sight, I always feel a little guilty when walking on the street, looking left and right to pay attention to the eyes of others.Most people will think that Green is a puppy. I am most afraid of meeting experts. After all, it is a world full of experts.However, even if he encounters a real expert, I'm afraid he will only think that he is dazzled for a while. After all, raising wolves in the city dares to come out for a stroll, and the wolf is very obedient. Who will put such unimaginable things in front of him? Would not believe it.

On a cool afternoon, the warm sun was shining on the grass. Yifeng and I had just carried Green across the street, and Green saw his companions from a long distance—a few shepherd dogs and Akita dogs playing on the grass, playing Frisbee, Chasing the ball thrown by the master, Green was very excited and eager to break free from my arms to find a companion to play with.Several dog owners greeted: "Let him come and play!" I hesitated, after all, Green's teeth are sharp, and he has never seen other dogs except foxes.The dog owners greeted again: "It's okay, the dogs play differently."

I thought that Green came out after he was full, so he should be fine, so I let him go.Green galloped towards several of his companions, and the dogs, feeling fresh about the addition of this little one, quickly surrounded Green. I squeezed the sweat in my palms and stared at Green intently, worried that the big dog would trample him, and worried that Green would give him an anxious eye.However, the dogs were safe and sound after playing for half an hour. Yifeng patted me on the shoulder: "Do you think this is not good? Don't worry. Although these are shepherd dogs, they have lived in urban areas for generations. How long have you seen wolves?" ? The hostile instinct in memory has almost degenerated." The stone in my heart fell to the ground.

The dog owners continued to train the dogs to pick up tennis balls. As soon as Green saw the tennis ball jumping on the lawn, he rushed over to grab the ball one by one, and ran to the side with the ball in his mouth to bite. It was even more strange to see that Green picked up the ball and not only did not pick it up but returned it to the owner and gnawed it himself. Some dogs stood there and yelled at the top of their throats, and some dogs came forward to grab the ball for the owner.Green took a few bites of the tennis ball before realizing that the thing he was chasing was not a living thing. He was immediately bored and vomited on the ground and let the dogs snatch it up to claim credit for the owner.

Green licked his nose in boredom. He didn't understand why the dogs were so keen on this inedible tennis ball.Green felt thirsty. He stretched out his nose and sniffed around for water sources. He found a water pipe, which was used by sanitation guards to water the flowers. There was a damp smell coming from the water pipe. Green stuck out his tongue and licked it to make sure that it was a water source, but How can I drink it?He looked back and forth at the strange contraption, and tugged at it with his teeth, until at last he bit the metal wrench and happened to turn it, and a trickle of water came out of the pipe, the remaining water in the pipe.Green was ecstatic, and immediately stuck out his tongue to lick and drink. He was very satisfied with his cleverness!After just drinking a little, the remaining water ran out. Green immediately went to pull the wrench again, and then immediately stretched out his mouth to catch the water. He had established a connection between the wrench and the water.However, except for a few drops of water hanging from the water pipe, no residual water flowed out. Green tried several times and it still didn't work. He was disappointed.

Green looked around, and a middle-aged dog owner was pouring a bowl of water for his little bichon frize to drink.Green rushed forward, pawed the puppy away, immediately plunged his sharp beak into the bowl, and drank happily. His mouth was shorter than that of a bear, and he couldn't compete with him, barking aggrievedly.The owner of the dog was stunned for a moment, and out of love for the dog, he reached out to touch Green. The Bichon Frize thought that the owner wanted to do justice for him, so he immediately came over.A threatening growl broke out from Green's tender throat, the dog owner was taken aback, and immediately withdrew his hand: "Even water protection?" Of course, Green's little head has no concept of who is the owner, let alone charity and rewards. En Hui, he thinks that all food is stolen, and whoever grabs it first should enjoy it first.He drank the water domineeringly before throwing the empty bowl to the bichon wagging his tail helplessly.I apologized repeatedly, but the dog owner said nonchalantly, "It's okay, it's the same for everyone."

After drinking enough water, Green was strolling in the grass again, rolling on the soft lawn with his little butt pouted.A little girl passing by saw that Green's naive appearance was so cute, she couldn't help squatting down and calling him: "Little dog, come here." Green seemed to like children who have no intentions by nature, and he ran up to the girl happily, like a dog. Rubbing against the little girl's palm like a kitten, it was itchy, making her giggle.The old lady with the little girl looked at Green carefully, a little puzzled, and said with a strong northern accent, "What kind of dog are you?" Several dog owners next to him also raised their ears and cast curious eyes.Facing these people who knew more or less about dog breeds, I didn’t know how to answer. After muttering for a while, I carefully squeezed out two words from between my teeth: “Little wolf.” The bombshell caused the old lady to scream, and heroically grabbed the little girl, kicked the little Green who was still acting like a baby on the ground, and flew into the air. Green fell to the lawn one meter away with a "ba chi".The grass was very thick, and Green didn't feel any pain from the fall. He didn't realize it was an unfriendly move, but thought it was a rude joke, so he turned over and continued to act like a spoiled child to the little girl.

"Go away! Go away! I can see something is wrong." The old lady's voice changed, and she pulled the little girl behind her, assuming the posture of Wu Song fighting a tiger.As the saying goes, "beat a dog to see its owner", but it is unnecessary to beat a wolf.I hurriedly grabbed Green and explained repeatedly: "Don't be afraid, he doesn't bite." "Will wolves bite people? What do you young people think? Keep everything?" The well-informed old lady lectured on the spot, "Why don't you send it to the zoo?" The little girl looked at her and wanted to get close to her. Little Green, it's hard to believe this little thing will eat her.

"This is a dog." Yifeng came out to smooth things over, "I was just joking with you. How can there be wolves in the city?" "What kind of dog?" Several dog owners also expressed that they had never seen one. "Green Dog." Yifeng's mind is quite sufficient. "Greenhound...is that supposed to be a German breed?" "German harrier!" The owner of the middle-aged dog who fed the water judged positively. "This dog runs very fast. My friend raised it and is very smart." "Yes, yes, yes, yes!" Yifeng and I looked at each other, holding back the embarrassment of wanting to laugh, and defined Green's background.

Finally dealt with a panic.After the old lady led the girl away, I sat under the shade of a tree, watched Yifeng and Green playing on the lawn from a distance, and sighed softly. "Will you drink water?" The previous dog owner who helped out took out two bottles of mineral water and handed them over. "Thank you, I'm not thirsty." "Can you give Green a drink?" I took a bottle with a smile and nodded my thanks. I am not very good at chatting up "fake sophistication", but others did help me out, so I should be grateful.I uncapped the bottle of mineral water and summoned Green to come over for a drink.

"Where did this little wolf come from?" He looked at Green who was drinking water and asked lightly. I was shocked, someone found it after all.He took a sip of water and smiled slightly. "I saw it when he came to grab water. I also fed a little wolf when I was a soldier in Tibet," he said lightly. "The little wolf follows me every day. He is very loyal and smarter than a wolf dog." Xiaoyong, I left all the canned food and other delicious food to the little wolf. When I was discharged from the army, I took him back to the city and raised him until he was eight months old. I wanted to send him to the zoo, but who knew that the zoo would not accept him..." "Why doesn't the zoo accept it?" "All the animals in the zoo have registered permanent residence, and food is released according to the quota. It's not a shelter for stray animals, and wolves have a big appetite, who will raise them? Besides, wolves were not expensive animals at that time. Later, I had to give wolves to A friend who is the boss, he has a villa in the country." As he spoke, his face twisted in pain, "I never thought that the grandson would cook and eat wolves, and he even dated a few brothers. Dude, when I went to see him during the Chinese New Year, I saw a wolf fur when I entered the door, and those four wolf teeth were hung around his neck with a gold chain, and the foreign plate was very beautiful!" He raised his head and took a big sip of water, revealing some Military style of drinking.There was a pang in my heart, and I knew that this feeling was like the pain of my beloved son being cooked and eaten.Many years have passed, but the deep friendship with the wolf and the tragic ending of the wolf still make this tough guy hard to let go. "The grandson told me all day long that he loves wolves, and he must behave like a wolf in business. I regret this kind of love in the end." I smiled wryly, now how many people who claim to love wolves are not the ones Ye Gong likes to pursue like a dragon. People have already separated from the material reality and played with spiritual concepts. What they love is only the concept of wolves and self-comparison to show off, how many people can be real How about doing something for love?If the human world is full of love for the purpose of possession, then the catastrophe of wolves will not be far away. By then, the totem will still be flying and wolves will have become legends. "Do you know that Chengdu's ban on dogs is about to be introduced?" He said while greeting his bichon, "The cubs can't be kept in the city when they grow up. Modern people's nerves are already very fragile, and they don't know how to get along with animals. Even dogs can't be tolerated, let alone wolves. Many stray dogs on the street are either killed by cars, starved to death, or sold to dog meat restaurants. Now that the dog ban is imposed again, what will your little wolf do?" A word from the middle-aged man brought me back to the current reality. I am Green's entire world and hope. We will never abandon each other until he becomes self-reliant. Even if he is exiled to the end of the world, I will accompany him! Green's physical condition has recovered, and it's time to vaccinate him. I was afraid that I would not be able to cope with being recognized by the veterinarian or others, so I dragged Yifeng to accompany me to the pet hospital. When he went out, Green looked very excited. If he knew that today he had to take his temperature and get an injection, would he still be so happy?But being too excited on the street is really not a good thing. As soon as Green jumped and ran to the street, a battery car rushed over and almost knocked him down. Seeing that it was a gray dog, he raised his foot and kicked Green, cursing: "Damn it, good dogs don't get in the way!" Yifeng hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, while I greeted Green.Green was not injured, shaking his hair in shock, gnashing his teeth and looking at the man who kicked him.The man made another threatening gesture towards Green, then pulled the car aside and walked into the small supermarket next to him.Little Green went around to the battery car and aimed a few bites at the tires. We dragged Green, who was unwilling to let go, and took him away. As soon as he walked into the pet hospital with Green in his arms, the old cat lay on the doorway basking in the sun, screaming in terror, bristling its hair, arching its body like a rainbow bridge, and staring at Green.I put Green on the treatment table, and he subconsciously leaned into my arms.The husky, who was being bathed and groomed through the glass door, jumped out of the sink and barked wildly at Green, causing all the pet dogs locked in the cage to howl like booing.Green pricked up his ears to collect these sounds like a radar, and the wolf stood upright, completely different from his usual mischievous appearance at home. I learned smart this time.When filling out the immunization certificate, the veterinarian asked: "Breed?" I replied: "Green Dog." Although the doctor was full of doubts, he filled it out as I said. It is estimated that this doctor is also a half-way monk.Fortunately, most of the dogs who came here for the injection had their tails clipped because of fear, so Green's drooping tail was not surprising. I gave Green the first vaccination, and he was cooperative. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I took all the subsequent vaccines home and gave them to him. On the way home, I saw not far away, the battery car that came here had a flat rear tire, and it was parked listlessly on the side of the road. The middle-aged man who had kicked Green just now scolded and helped the car to check: "Which son of a bitch is stabbed!" My tires!" Yifeng and I looked at each other, and Yifeng said in a low voice, "This little guy's teeth are really strong!" "He really must avenge his revenge!" I picked up Green and dragged Yifeng away from this place of right and wrong, "It's best to lead him when we go to the street in the future, so as not to cause trouble." "Lead?" Yifeng asked suspiciously, "How? Do you remember that it was said in the movie that bears can be leashed, tigers can be leashed, lions can be leashed, and elephants can be leashed, but wolves can't be leashed!" I smiled slightly: "You can believe whatever is written in the book? After all, it is a novel, so there must be elements of artistic exaggeration. How do you know if you don't try it yourself? Besides, I am Green's mother, and I raised him from a young age, so we have such a good relationship." , if I hold him, can he turn back?" Yifeng laughed and said: "That's right, you call him by his name, he is so obedient, it shouldn't be a big problem to lead him away." He pondered for a moment and then said, "However, don't use a collar, for fear of strangling his neck... " "Yeah!" I have full confidence in holding Green, because I am so close to Green, and can't the wolves in Yongchuan Zoo also hold a lead?I've seen it on TV, isn't the wolf with the wolf dog also brought out by someone? I also understand Yifeng's worry. After all, the little wolf in the movie would rather be strangled than be led away, so that the tragic scene of being strangled to death in the end left a deep impression on us.Every time he sees this place, Yifeng always puts down the book and can’t bear to read any more. He often involuntarily connects the little wolf in the book with Green in reality. We never want to tie Green at home. Whenever he thought of the scene in the book that the little wolf who was as big as him lost his freedom and was bound by an iron chain within a three-meter diameter range, running around in circles, Yifeng would feel distressed and sigh.In order not to let Green repeat the same mistakes, we give him maximum freedom, but freedom must also be premised on safety. Early the next morning, I bought cloth shoulder straps and cloth ropes.After feeding Green, rubbing his stomach and stroking his back, he was having fun with him, and then coaxed him to put on the shoulder straps, lightly fastened the buckle on the back of the shoulder straps, and adjusted the size of the shoulder straps to fit. body comfortable.Green, who had already been soft and comfortable under my flattering rubbing, didn't know what I put on him. He twisted and scratched curiously. Although he was awkward, he didn't show any resistance. I rushed to Yifeng Raising his eyebrows, his brows were filled with the pride of winning the first battle, and his confidence in leading the wolf increased a lot. Until the afternoon, the shoulder straps were put on Green's body unharmed. He was as carefree as usual, and he didn't seem to mind that there was such a thing on his body.Yifeng and I sat at the door and began to change our shoes. Green immediately ran up and scratched the door with excitement, and he knew he was going out.As soon as the door opened, Green rushed out. We put the rope in the bag, first let Green walk freely, and followed him to the riverside path where he often walked.Green stopped and walked, saw that we were following, turned his head with confidence, and wandered here and there as usual, running to the green belt for a while, looking for some strange things by the trash can, and sprinting to the main road as if there was no one there. Strutting with head held high... Every time a battery car passes by, I will chase after it. "Let's lead and go!" Yifeng was in a cold sweat watching, for fear of accidents. I raised my voice and called out: "Green... Come here!" Green happily ran back to me, I carefully buckled the rope on Green's shoulder strap, and patted his little head approvingly, "Let's go now. " Green continued to rush forward, "Hula", and the instantly tense rope suddenly dragged Green into a somersault.Green got up quickly, spun around in confusion, and rushed twice in vain. After a brief moment of confusion, he immediately found the rope on his back, and the other end of the rope was firmly in my hand.The doubt in the wolf's eyes turned into anger, and he bit back. I hurriedly raised the rope to prevent him from biting, hanging on the rope like a puppet show, trying to make him follow me obediently.Green was extremely annoyed, bared his teeth and growled angrily, sat down on the ground, arched his shoulders, and fought with me with all his strength, but he didn't leave!No matter where I understand it with reason, move it with emotion, act hard and soft, persuade and pull, Green seems to have taken root in the ground, and he is determined not to follow.A person, a wolf, and a tight rope are all deadlocked in place. "What a stubborn dog!" People passing by happily stopped to watch. I never expected that the two-month-old wolf cub would fight fiercely, with such great strength that he couldn't move it back and forth. I stood awkwardly by the side of the road, I can't laugh or cry. "I'm coming!" Yifeng took the rope, twisted it around his hand, and pulled it up.No matter how strong Little Green was, he was no match for a big man. He was immediately dragged for a few meters, but he immediately spread his front paws to the ground, stood still, arched his back, stretched his neck, and exerted all his strength. Strength to fight the rope.Yifeng dragged him a little harder, and Green was staggered and dragged for more than one meter. He simply lay down on his hind legs, even the bends of his hind legs were firmly pressed against the ground, and his tail was straight on the ground, like Just like a kangaroo, maximizing friction.I lured him away with Green's favorite chocolate, but Green tightened the rope and remained unmoved. "Go to the back and drive him away!" Yifeng was not reconciled, and still dragged forward without letting go.Green roared angrily, and the eyes of the pair of little wolves shot out the rare unyielding and unruly, give up freedom or give me death!Green put all his forelimbs down, stuck to the ground like a crocodile, even using the friction of his stomach, even if his stomach was worn out by the rough concrete floor, he still wanted to resist desperately. "Ah, it can't be delayed! It can't be delayed!" I screamed, and there were some dark red blood stains on the concrete floor behind Green, mixed with worn-off wolf fur, which was shocking!Yifeng quickly relaxed, and Little Green took a few steps back, staggeringly stood firm, shaking the wolf's fur, still clinging to the ground, assuming a posture of resistance at any time.I hurriedly picked up Green, who was trembling with anger, and comforted him while checking his little paws. Four paws were worn out, and the fur on the bends of the two hind legs was worn away, revealing the reddish flesh, with blood beads coming from the wound. The dust slowly seeped out from under the place, and the most unbearable thing was that when his stomach pressed against the ground, even the skin of his life was worn out. It's for your own good, why bother." Green didn't appreciate it at all, struggled to the ground, bit back the annoying rope, shook off the floating dirt all over his body, simply licked his lifeblood, and didn't hold grudges against us, and continued to walk according to his own will with his wolf head held high. Injury is just a piece of cake for him.We had no choice but to follow Green. "It seems that wolves are indeed not to be led." Yifeng said as he walked. "An experiment doesn't explain the problem. I'll try another rope tomorrow." I picked up the broken rope and threw it into the trash can by the side of the road. I patted the dust off my hands, still feeling unwilling. However, things backfired. In the days that followed, Green often snatched the rope when I was not prepared, and threw it in pools, grass, sewers and other places where I couldn't find it.Green also bit off countless shoulder straps. He understood the function of the shoulder straps, and he never accepted its restraints calmly and curiously like the first time. Putting on the straps is extremely difficult.The attempt to lead the wolf has been repeatedly pulled and resisted. I feel sorry for Green's little paws not daring to drag hard. Letting go of the rope, he would happily flop around in the grass, but would turn around from time to time and wait for me to follow him, or to wait for me to catch up with him. Come around and get close to me.In fact, Green is quite willing to walk with me all the way, but he just can't bear the slavish feeling of being led like a dog.I love you so I will go with you, but I will never give up my backbone and dignity. After going back and forth, after more than half a month of tossing about the matter of leading the wolf, we finally reached an embarrassing "agreement". Green allowed us to have a rope to maintain our bond, but the condition was that he would walk ahead and walk as he wished. I can only be dragged by him unconditionally, and the route can only be determined by him.If I don't obey, he immediately bites off the rope and throws me by the side of the road.In order to keep the rope, I had to cling to him, so I was often dragged into the green belt by him, or reluctantly through the bushes that could tear the skirt, sometimes I scratched my head and was confused-should I walk him or He walks me? Wolves have completely different personalities from dogs.Perhaps for dogs, for the food given by humans, dogs are willing to put on ropes and be driven by people. It is natural for the owner to use ropes to enslave and control themselves. Take the fox as an example, he has adapted to the constraints of the rope for a long time, as long as he picks up the rope, the fox will run over and stretch his neck very cooperatively to let me tie him, and then he will stay where he is and sleep or gnaw his bones to enjoy himself .When I'm lazy and don't want to bend over, I can even put a rope on him with one foot, and this guy just cooperates. Once, a stranger came to the house, and the fox immediately rushed to the door dutifully. After a few steps, he stood up, barked at the door from a distance, and stopped moving forward, and kept being very anxious in a fan-shaped area. lingering.Yifeng and I were very puzzled by his strange movements. After careful observation and analysis, we realized that I had tied the fox there before, but the loose rope had already fallen off, and the fox was about to run away after the stranger arrived. At the door, suddenly his psychological suggestion told him "I have been tied", so the fox kept walking and shouting within the fan-shaped range of the longest distance of the rope, and even stood upright as if a rope was stretched behind him, like Generally hypnotized. In order to prove our conjecture, I did a few experiments, called the fox, and just drew a rope on the back of his neck, or hooked a few hairs on him, and he just sat there obediently, with more than one He didn't leave for an hour, and he didn't run away until I gestured to untie the rope again. For a dog, the master's command is the "Bible", but for a wolf, freedom is the "Bible"!No matter how good the conditions are and how abundant the food is, never want the wolves to exchange their freedom. It seems that the wolves that can be led on TV are probably domesticated in cages for several generations. They never knew how vast the world originally belonged to them, nor did they know the concept of freedom.Green, on the other hand, came directly from the original wilderness and drank the milk of the wild wolf mother. In his heart, the belief in the supremacy of freedom is indestructible.Wolf, never put your own destiny in the hands of others. Little wolf Green, you can bark, but you can't pull!
