Chapter 9 Chapter 8 Activate Green's wild gene

As Green grew older, it became more difficult to hide him in the city.Ever since I discussed the dog ban with the middle-aged dog owner on the lawn by Huanhua Creek, the question of Green's future has been weighing heavily on my mind.I have dreamed countless times to send him back to the Ruoergai Grassland, but can a wolf raised by humans keep his wildness?This question has been bugging me. Once, Yifeng killed a mouse at home, and on a whim, I wanted to give the mouse to Green to see how he reacted.But at that time, after all, I felt that Green was still young, the vaccination had not yet been completed, and the rats were too disgusting, so I gave up this idea.

The mice in Yifeng's house have the spirit of advancing one after another. These days, they found the footprints of the mice on the coffee table in the living room, and gnawed all the roses on the coffee table to pieces.Yifeng thought of a bad idea, and took Green as the lead. The smell of natural enemies would definitely make the rats run away. I was invited to bring Green to Yifeng's house, but I didn't know that Green's destructive power was much greater than that of mice. When I entered the house, I searched for it. The things on the coffee table were messed up, and no one was spared.The two of us hurriedly followed behind to clean up the snatch. Green took a pack of sesame candy in one bite, ran away immediately, and gnawed it on the floor mat at the door. I tried to snatch it, but Yifeng said helplessly: "Forget it, look at him." I can’t grab the food protection sample.”

I had no choice but to give up, and smiled wryly: "Look at him messing with your house, he might as well be a rat." I took out a small piece of meat from the refrigerator, shook it in front of Green, and he threw away the sesame candy and took a bite. , I had already guarded against his hand, I quickly stepped back and led him to the balcony, threw the meat out, and closed the balcony screen door.When Green rushed out, swallowed the meat in one gulp and turned around and ran towards me, he slammed into the screen door, bounced back and fell on his back.He turned over and was stunned for a moment, then carefully figured out how this strange barrier separated himself from his mother.He bumped it a few times, but couldn't open it. He paced back and forth, unable to find another entrance.

Yifeng and I looked at his expression proudly in the room. Green called out to me a few times, as if he didn't understand why his mother didn't come to help him.I ignored him and started tidying up the living room he had disturbed.He was very dissatisfied, and walked up and down the balcony anxiously, sometimes sticking his head out of the railing to look at the traffic downstairs, sometimes smelling a few pots of flowers and plants on the balcony, sometimes lying on the soft screen window, looking inside. Watch carefully.The screen window of Crooked Claw made him discover the fatal flaw of this barrier. The screen window, which can usually keep honest foxes out, cannot stop a wolf cub who wants to run back to his mother's arms.Green opened his mouth wide and bit the holes in the screen window, and tore it back vigorously. With a thud, the screen window was torn open a big hole vertically. Seeing that the screen window door was about to be dragged down, before we could stop it, Green had already It got in through the torn gap and ran into the room.I ran over in a hurry and held down Green, who was running wildly. Green was very kind and could not stop acting like a baby in my arms. He obviously thought that it was commendable for him to overcome difficulties and come to my mother, and he regarded my hug as a gift. award.

"We underestimated him." Yifeng pushed open the broken invisible screen door, "Close the glass door." I nodded, carried Green to the balcony, pushed him out, quickly retreated, and closed the glass door , Now Green didn't bump into him like that crazily. He smelled the hard and cold breath of the glass, and finally figured it out. It wasn't an accident just now, but his mother locked him up on purpose.Green looked at me aggrievedly and whimpered, his eyes flickering with question marks, he couldn't understand why his mother who never restricted his freedom wanted to lock him up today.He started to give me a fierce eye attack, infinitely cute and innocent, sitting obediently, whimpering pitifully in high and low voices: "Woooo—ah——————" (Mom, Am I wrong? Mom looked at me, mom let me in, I'm your cutest son...) Yifeng turned sideways to block the charged eyes, and knocked on the glass: "Is this going to make it through? You Bite the glass!" A flash of anger quickly flashed in Green's eyes, and my heart skipped a beat: "Yifeng, don't mess with him!" Yifeng shrugged: "Can your son break open the glass door?" I shook my head , Nodding again, Green's eyes are too deep, I really can't figure out what is going on in his little wolf's head.

Green didn't count on me anymore. He stopped his aggressive eyes and paced back and forth to examine the environment. Finally, he calmed down and stared at the traffic downstairs in a daze. Five minutes passed and he didn't move.Yifeng said: "Okay, let's stop, you can go to your work." I nodded and stood up to pour tea. "Ah-oh--" the voice was shrill and long, and the "stolen gong" started beating wildly again!My temples felt like they were going to explode, and the boiling tea poured over my hands. "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo."I looked back while blowing my fiery hand, and Green howled condescendingly at the wolves facing the rolling traffic.I felt a sudden chill envelop my whole body, like a cold water snake slowly climbing up my spine, and my fine hairs stood on end.Yifeng also heard the sound and rushed over: "What's the matter, what kind of monster is it? So scary?" I quickly squatted in front of the door, knocking on the glass: "Green, don't bark! Tell me to bite you again!" Green Turning back leisurely, he glanced at me with sly eyes as if challenging, took another deep breath, raised another octave, and continued to "broadcast" to the whole world: "Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" The sound travels very far.I was covered in goosebumps: "No price, little ancestor, don't bark, I beg you! When the neighbors report and send you to the zoo, don't think about it! Mom will give you meat!" I quickly put the sesame candy Seeing that my attitude has improved, Green proudly raised his head and continued to use "Wolf Song Online" to fight for his rights.

"Aww—oh———" seemed to announce to all the citizens, "Look, there is a wolf here, come and report me!" Yifeng covered his ears: "Forget it, let him in, the wind is miserable, if someone really reports it, it's over!" I really learned what ghost crying and wolf howling are. I opened the door with a wry smile, and then Green swallowed the meat that he had bribed earlier. Today, K Song looked at me with unfinished expression, squinting at me: "See if you still dare to shut me up?" Taking advantage of the situation, I turned over and hugged my feet happily.

This guy is too cunning, he can not only take advantage of the environment, but also see through all the thoughts of people and find out the weaknesses of the other party, but who taught him these?Could it be that he has been thinking about me since he was a child?Today, he got his way again, so heartwarming! When Yifeng and I were busy at work, Green was messing around at Yifeng's house.In order to appease him, Yifeng turned on the TV and played the documentary "Animal World". This trick really worked, and Green immediately calmed down, so we consciously found some documentaries about wolves to show him. Every time Green heard the documentary When the sound of animals in the middle of the room sounded, they immediately ran over and stared at it intently.Whenever there is a shot of a wolf cub, he will be so excited that he will squeak and go forward.When the camera changed, he would turn around the TV with a blank expression, humming in disappointment.

Green's memory is getting stronger and stronger, and his interest fades after playing a movie two or three times. Yifeng changed him to a new documentary, so Green watched it intently again.In two months, Green watched at least dozens of documentaries about wolves seriously, as well as some other "Animal World" films. Whenever the wolf howled in the film, he echoed it in a serious manner.Yifeng joked: "Multimedia teaching, this is a wolf receiving modern education." Indeed, how many wolves have watched TV?But every time we see Green staring anxiously and expectantly at his wolf partner on TV, we feel sad again.

"He's so lonely, it would be nice to have a companion." "Bring the fox..." Yifeng and I said at the same time, and then both of us laughed. Soon, as soon as the pair of friends met at Yifeng's home, they began to toss endlessly.With the company of the fox, Green's mood suddenly became brighter, and he was more motivated to make troubles in heaven. He even encouraged the fox to make trouble with him, but the fox obeyed his duty as a dog. He knew that I was protecting Green, so he tried to keep a low profile.Although every time Green made troubles, the fox wisely ran to the most conspicuous place in front of Yifeng and me to show that those rebellious acts of sabotage had nothing to do with his fox, but the fox still inevitably accompanied Green to be punished.Once the fox also took a chance to lure Green to the sticky mouse board in the kitchen.When Green climbed out of the kitchen like a sea turtle with the sticky mouse board on his back, both Yifeng and I were stunned. The glue on the sticky mouse board can't be washed off!I had to use my poor technique to cut off a layer of lanugo on the right side of Green's body.

In order not to cause accidental injuries, Yifeng and I removed all the mouse traps and had to let the mice run wild. Unexpectedly, a few days later, the mouse, which we failed to catch after all our efforts, stumbled and fell into the half bucket of leftover water in the bathroom and drowned.The size of the mouse is not small, and the flesh is bulging.I danced with joy. "How to deal with it?" Yifeng asked. "Hey wolf!" I couldn't help saying angrily, remembering that I accidentally stuck Green's sticky mouse board to catch the mouse. We took Green and Fox to the suburbs as usual, the difference is that there is an extra dead mouse today.I tied the dead mouse with a rope and put it in a shoe box. Green had already smelled a smell that particularly attracted him to the shoe box, but he didn't quite understand what it was.He couldn't wait to snatch the lid of the shoe box, ran away with his mouth in his mouth, and found that the real source of the smell was the mouse, so he dropped the lid and immediately rushed to the mouse, biting it and refusing to let it go, exhausting his whole body The strength of the mouse is competing with the rope that ties the mouse.The fox stood proudly beside me, watching Green snatch the mouse with sneer, as the saying goes, "a dog meddles in the mouse", and the fox has no interest in these "outside business". "Come and grab the rope." I greeted Yifeng, wanting to take a commemorative photo of Green eating raw food for the first time before he snatched the mouse away. Yifeng took the rope, and Green roared and pulled hard to compete with Yifeng. Seeing Green's desperate effort, Yifeng curiously lifted the rope up, and Green gritted his teeth even more. When I mentioned it, Green was actually hung in the air in front of the two of us like a fish.Yifeng hoisted Green up and down by the rope, swung it around like a merry-go-round in the park a few times, but Green still gritted his teeth and never let go. Yifeng was surprised and amused.Looking at the little wolf Green who was hanging in the air, desperate for flesh and blood, I was speechless. The dead rat was torn off by Green's waist. Green quickly swallowed half of the rat's meat without chewing it. He broke the rope and snatched the mouse away.This series of actions immediately reminded me of the wolf hunting and killing horses described in the movie, the wolf pounces up and bites the horse's belly, and hangs under the galloping horse's belly. Don't let the wolf let go, this kind of wolf nature that does not hesitate to die in order to achieve the goal makes people dissatisfied. Green ate up the dead rat, including its skin, bones, and even intestines, and then wiped its mouth in the grass contentedly.This was the first time that Green gave me a taste of his devotion to whole prey—Green was a wolf, after all, born to eat raw meat. For the first time, I proposed to Yifeng the idea of ​​sending Green back to the grassland. Yifeng smiled, probably thinking that there was too much idealism in this matter: "Is a wolf raised by humans still wild? He can hunt by himself." Is it? The tigers in the zoo that are used to eating and drinking have things that they don’t bother to catch when they throw live food!” What Yifeng was worried about was exactly what I was worried about, so we decided to try whether Green, who has been eating cooked food, still Has a hunting instinct. I took a small animal puppet, tied it to a rope, and ran quickly in front of Green. When Green saw the running thing, he immediately chased it up and grabbed it. The fox also barked and joined in the hunting game, but of course he Can't beat Green.Unexpectedly, Green snatched the puppet and bit it a few times and found that it was a fake creature, so he lost his interest, stared at me with a fooled look, and left.Seeing that Green had abstained, the fox was happy to take advantage of it, and happily brought the puppet back to me to claim credit. Yifeng said: "Green still has the desire to hunt down." I shook my head, Green might just be playing for fun, not enough to prove that he can hunt and kill, you can only use living things if you want to try. A few days later, we managed to buy a live chicken and drove Green and Fox to the countryside.Yifeng was driving, and I was sitting in the co-pilot position. Green and the fox were squeezed side by side at my feet. The fox lay obediently at my feet to sleep, but Green was not reconciled. He stepped on the fox's body and kept climbing up. He wanted to climb to the car window to see the scenery outside, and the dog brother and wolf brother tossed and tossed like this along the way, until they reached the wild grassland in the outskirts. Green looked at the chicken curiously. He had never seen this kind of feathered biped, but the well-informed fox sniffed the chicken's buttocks and watched with interest.Seeing that there was no danger for the fox to approach the chicken, Green boldly stepped forward.The chicken that was used to being raised stood still and did not respond. At first I tied the chicken to a small tree to prevent it from flying away, but Green snapped the rope, and the chicken stayed where it was even with a trace of escape. Lack of desire, people can't help but think of the idiom "as dumb as a chicken", the domestic animals raised by people really live a sad life, let alone spirituality, they don't even have the perception of life and death threats. Green stretched out his mouth and arched the chicken, and held the chicken wings in his mouth, lifted them up and took a look, just like a naughty little kid lifting up a little girl's skirt.The chicken still didn't move, and Green walked away with little interest, wondering if he thought it was another puppet.I'm disappointed, it seems that Green really lacks wildness.I was about to take the chicken away, but I just grabbed the rope and dragged it. Seeing the chicken moving, Green’s expression changed drastically, and he rushed to grab it. I have never seen him so impulsive, the wolf’s ears kept trembling, and the wolf’s blood rushed to the head , his eyes shone like electricity, and the tip of his tail was as lively as a small loach, trembling on the ground. The fox also came up to grab the chicken and make a fuss. After a few crows of the rooster, Green smacked the chicken's belly fiercely. Then, he shook his head violently and began to bite, blood splattered all over the place, and the wolf's head and chicken feathers were sprayed red.At this moment, the dull chicken screamed and flapped its wings like a dream, and struggled.I was startled, and quickly stepped aside. The fox was also stunned. When had he seen this scene?Standing in front of the chicken with its mouth open and tongue out in fright, the fox obviously stood too close to Green's trophy, and Green wrinkled his nostrils at him.The smell of chicken blood instantly awakened the wildness of the little wolf, and his killing intent rose. "Fox, get out of the way!" I hurriedly greeted the fox.Then the fox backed up quickly, shrank and shivered under me, and never showed its head again. The chicken was still thumping, and the blood was still splattering. Although Green didn't know how to pluck chicken feathers, he was born to eat the meat. He opened the belly of the chicken, tearing the meat and swallowing the blood. In a blink of an eye, half a chicken was gone. Into Green's stomach.I was both happy and surprised. What pleased me was that Green still had the indestructible predatory instinct of a wolf, and the urge to hunt. This is a healthy and normal psychological expression of a wolf cub, which made me see the hope of rewilding; Two-month-old Green has such a wild bloodthirsty nature.Yifeng and I suddenly looked at the little wolf who had been raised like a puppy all the time, and a sense of awe for the original ecological predators spontaneously arose. Green's genes deeply copy a set of survival codes unique to the wolf family. As time goes by, the body grows slowly. As long as there are appropriate conditions and opportunities, the codes will be automatically activated one by one, making them self-taught. It shows the true nature of being born as a wolf in a ground and tenacious way. "Genes are really amazing things." Yifeng said while driving, and then there was a long silence.I know what he's worried about.
