Chapter 36 36. Who moved our wolf sculpture?

Blizzard!The world is confused. Yifeng stood outside the hut, staring at the mountain pass with binoculars: "Someone is moving our wolf sculpture! Come and see! Is it poached?" What he was talking about was the nunchuck sculpture with a wolf bone clay body. "With such a heavy snow, no one will go up the mountain..." I wiped the lens of the telescope wetted by the melting snow with my cuff. The sculpture of nunchuck rubbed back and forth. "Things that big...could be wolves, bears, horses, or yaks." "It can't be wolves, wolves are not interested in things made by people, and bears have long hibernated. I guess it should be yaks! Itching!"

There are no trees on the grassland, even if there is a wooden post, the yaks will rub it on it. It is rare to find an object of the right height on the mountain. Of course, the yaks will not let go of the scratching stone.The wolf sculpture that was finally molded must not be arched by a yak. We yelled a few times at the mountain pass to scare him... The black figure seemed to have left. When the snow was a little lighter, the two hurried up the mountain to check. The traces left by the animals just now have been covered with snow.Looking around, I didn't see the herd of yaks.Checking the statue, there is no obvious damage except for a small part of the thin part of the wolf's ear.

We are going to take precautionary measures to protect the nunchuck statue.We are very familiar with the clay used in clay sculptures. Local people use it to build clay stoves in the wild. As long as the clay is fired, the clay will harden and is not afraid of yaks. We collected dried cow dung everywhere, and we were busy until dusk before we gathered a large pile of dried cow dung to surround the wolf sculpture. ignite…… In the twilight, the little wolf was reborn from Nirvana. After the fire was extinguished, the statue was pottery, hard as bricks and stones, no longer afraid of yaks. Yifeng gathered the nearby snow to the wolf eagle, and piled up the snow to crush Mars.I installed two remote-controlled cameras next to the wolf sculpture to see whether it was a cow or a horse that dared to break ground on the wolf's head.

This remote control camera is modified by ourselves.During the torrential rain in July, the house collapsed and our camera equipment and aerial camera were damaged, so we packed up the scattered parts and components that were still usable, researched and repaired them ourselves, and refitted them into usable equipment.This remote control camera was assembled not long ago, and this time I just tried the effect. Busy until dark, the two of them were hungry and tired, so they took out dry food and white rabbit toffee to mess with their stomachs, and then they went down the mountain to go home.

The next afternoon, the sun and snow melted. I was in front of the window of the hut, and I saw the wolf sculptures at the mountain pass from a distance, and I always felt that the wolf sculptures had double images.I turned on the remote control camera to focus, and was stunned. Wolf!A real wolf stands right next to the sculpture! "How is this possible!" I couldn't believe my eyes.Taking a closer look, it is absolutely true, and we know this wolf very well!She is "Hot Mom" ​​- the mother of Nunchucks.Could it be that the smell of the little wolf's bones in the statue attracted his mother?Could it be that the shadow we saw yesterday was her?

The hot mom walked around the child's sculpture, looking back and forth. Maybe the sculpture was hardened, which surprised her a little. She smelled the tail from the top of the "Nunchuck"'s head, stretched out her paws to touch his face, and touched his nose. He looked at what he was looking at with his "nunchuck" eyes.The hot mom lost her mind for a while, turned around and stood up, resting her front paws on the wolf eagle's shoulders, and lightly bit the "nunchaku"'s ears. After a while, Hot Mom turned and left, disappearing from the camera.

This situation is beyond our expectations!Under normal circumstances, wolves are very sensitive to abnormal things, and they can't avoid people's breath. Whenever they smell a human scent or see something that people have arranged, the wolf will leave immediately. make any contact.Because we know the behavior of wolves so well, we didn't think about wolves at all, and we didn't expect to see Hot Mom again in the camera.We also know the character of Hot Mom too well. She is determined not to be on camera. When she was photographed by the riverside surveillance in summer, she was so shy of our camera.But this time, every ball of dirt in the nunchuck sculpture is full of our taste, and our breath is also left around. The camera is clearly placed on the side of the statue, and the hot mom who can’t be photographed by all means, It's unbelievable that he appeared on the camera so generously!

When the two were excited, another big male wolf entered the picture together with Hot Mom. The big male wolf sniffed behind the wolf eagle with his head down, and I manipulated the lens to track and focus.The big male wolf found a toffee we left behind last night from under the snow. He took out the toffee and put it on the snow in front of him. When he raised his head, his wolf eyes looked at the camera. There was lightning and thunder in my mind——God!Sky Eye Wolf! ! "Green!!!" Yifeng and I exclaimed in unison. I never expected that when I had no hope, Green would appear! "He's still alive, and he's still in this place, how is that possible?" The blood all over my body was rushing to my head, I was shaking my hot cheeks with the back of my hands, trying to stay awake, I rubbed my eyes and looked carefully.

It must be him!Three years have passed, although judging from his body shape, he is already a burly and majestic wolf man, and his wolf fur is more fluffy and thicker, but the sky eyes between his brows are still so obvious.In the camera, the Sky-eyed wolf shakes its fur all over its body, and looks at the camera fixedly, as if it is looking at us through the lens. "He has changed so much? Are you sure? I'm calling him!" "Wait, let's see again!" I was afraid that if Yifeng yelled, Sky Eye Wolf would run away.I'm still not sure that this is true. I didn't expect that when we observed the yaks, we actually photographed wolves, and I didn't expect that the wolf we photographed would be Green, who we haven't found for a year!

The Sky-eyed Wolf sent the big white rabbit's toffee to the back molars with his tongue, "Kaka" bit the candy in half, he spit out the candy, the wolf's tongue hooked left and right, and loosened the middle of the broken candy paper Put the two halves of candy into your mouth and chew with relish.Hot Mom licked Sky Eye Wolf's lips, smelled the aftertaste of his chewing, looked around, and found a toffee from the snow.She took the candy out with the tips of her teeth and put it in front of her body, sniffing it repeatedly, hesitating, until she saw Sky Eye Wolf finished eating, she followed his example and bit off the candy body, peeled off the candy wrapper, and tried to eat it.

"No mistake, except for Green, no wolf dares to eat the toffee left by people so confidently and boldly! This candy-eating action is too sophisticated, Green has been good at this since he was a child!" My eyeballs did not leave the camera for a moment. Yifeng looked at the mountain pass with a telescope while looking at the camera lens, to make sure that it was really a live broadcast: "He is still searching for candy, he should have thrown a few more candies there." I remembered Tashi saying that when Green went back to his ranch, he didn't eat the dried meat they fed, but he ate the toffee.Yes, on the grassland, meat is not uncommon, but toffee is the taste of his childhood. In the camera, Green licked the ears and nose of "Nunchuck", walked to the left side of "Nunchuck", lowered his body, and lay down like a sphinx, watching with "Nunchuck" in the same direction.He half-closed his wolf eyes and sniffed the smell of the wind, with a melancholy expression on his face, lying beside the wolf eagle for a long time.Hot Mom walked up to Green and licked his cheek, and the two wolves sat down and snuggled together. From the moment I first recognized Green, my heart flew out of the house long ago. I squeezed the remote control of the camera tightly and greedily focused on every trace of his expression. The more I watched, the more certain I became!It's him, he's the Green I've been thinking about day and night!Thinking of Green being at the pass right now, I wish I could hug him into my arms immediately. "Go and find him!" "Wait, there is another wolf! Look to the left!" Yifeng found a total of three wolves in the telescope. I hurriedly manipulated the camera lens to turn left.Wow!A wolf face stuck in front of the camera, it scared me a lot!The wolf stared straight at the camera, one eyelid was scabbing, and the wolf's eye was torn apart by the scar.The camera was knocked to the ground by the wolf's mouth, and the camera showed the wolf's legs and belly. There was only half an inch of hair growing on the wolf's belly, and there was a stitch scar on it. "Hey, it's my needlework! Scud! She's really alive! Look! Look!" I felt like crying. Before he finished speaking, the camera was kicked up by the scud, snap!Image gone!out of sight!I panicked for a while, as if the most important thing in my life was going to go with the wind!I pulled up Yifeng and chased after him! "Green—" The two ran out of the hut and ran all the way to the mountain pass, shouting that name loudly all the way, lest he could not hear. ………… After "running" for more than an hour, the two finally climbed up the pass.When I saw it, my heart sank—the wolf was gone, and there were two broken cameras beside the wolf eagle. "Green...Green!" The wolf went to the mountains, and only the crows cried. I collapsed in disappointment, gasping for breath: "One step too late! Hurry up...and I'll catch up..." "I can't run fast...lack of oxygen..." Yi Fenglei lay beside the wolf eagle, out of breath, "Claws...paw prints...look..." I hurried over. The thin snow on the mountain has long been melted by the sun, only the snow we gathered around the wolf sculpture is still there. Among the fresh wolf trails on the snow, there are several three-toed paw prints! "It's him! It's him! Hahaha!" The two embraced tightly and patted each other on the back.I laughed and wailed, and Yifeng was also crying. Although I couldn't see it, I felt his hands wiping the corners of his eyes. Finally let us find it!Green is alive!he is alive!This is great news! ! Although we missed it this time, it didn't affect our excitement in the slightest.Since Green returned to the wolf pack at the beginning of 2011, and now at the end of 2013, we have dreamed day and night, worried for three years, and finally saw him appear safely with our own eyes!We couldn't be happier. It was already dark, and the two happily returned to the hut, playing Green's video today repeatedly, and couldn't get enough! His sturdy wolf body, his eyes that have been honed by time.He moved, and I seemed to follow.He eats candy, and my heart is also sweet.He was sad, and I burst into tears. "The fur color of this big guy has changed... Hey, doesn't he just have a white mouth?" I hurriedly stopped the video, took a picture with my mobile phone and sent it to Zeren's daughter-in-law, asking her to recognize it. I saw that the white-billed wolf who broke into her yard and looked into the house was this wolf. After sending the MMS, I called Lao Lang.Apart from us, the old wolf is the one who cares about Green the most. We have to let the old man share our joy as soon as possible.A while ago we found the corpse of the nunchuck, which made the old man sad for a long time, so much so that when he mentioned the news of the wolf, he would feel inexplicably nervous.Now finally there is good news. "Green found it!" "What?" "We found Green!" There was a violent pulling sound on the other end of the phone, and the old wolf was very nervous: "Is it dead or alive?!" "It's alive! It's grown into a big wolf!" "Oh! Good! That's great!" The old wolf probably jumped up, "Tengger's eyes are open! I've been looking for this guy for almost a year! Tell me how you found it, and what is he like now? Almost four I'm old!" "We made a statue of a wolf at the pass of the mountain, and it was captured by the camera placed there." The phone was turned on to amplify, and we rushed to talk about how to build a wolf sculpture out of clay, how to find a "yak" arching a wolf sculpture, how to ambush a modified camera next to a wolf sculpture, and how to accidentally take pictures of Green's passing , we describe his current appearance and talk about how he eats toffee. "The wolf sculpture you made can attract real wolves, so it must be very similar, right? Haha, you wait patiently. As long as Green finds out that you are back, he will definitely come to you!" Hearing that he was with another female wolf, the old wolf became excited immediately, and asked about the scenes and body movements of Green and the female wolf together. The old wolf was overjoyed: "They are a couple!" "Huh? He's married?!" "I wanted to name his partner Gesang, but it turned out to be Hot Mom!" Although Hot Mom and Green appeared in the camera at the same time, I used to doubt their relationship, but now that the old wolf pointed it out, I still can't help but drop my jaw and think: "No way? It's not just wolves. Can a king get married?" "If he asks for a wife to have a bunch of children, won't he become the wolf king? Do you think the wolf king still needs to be elected?" "This kid is successful in his career!" Yifeng's face was flushed with joy, and he was very happy when he said something to Lao Lang. I was also disturbed by their heated discussion for a while, and I couldn't react, and I remembered the important point: "Wait! Green's object is a hot mom, isn't that litter of wolf cubs in the back mountain the child of Green?! Fu Boy, the nunchuck..." My heart convulsed—those kids were gone. Yifeng's expression darkened, and he stopped talking. "When these little wolves grow up next year, Green's pack of wolves will grow stronger. Those little wolves are your grandchildren! Are you happy?...Hello? Hey...are you listening?" The old wolf didn't know Fu Aberdeen is dead, and we don't have the heart to tell him that the remains of the nunchuck are sealed in this statue. They came to sweep the tomb... I just realized why the wolf sculpture can attract wolves.We may understand the behavior of wolves, but we may not understand their hearts. At the end of the phone call with Lao Lang, I saw the text message that Zeren's daughter-in-law replied to Green's photo: "This is the wolf." The wolf who ran to Zeren Yuanmu to find us on September 6th was Green. Although I vaguely guessed it when I sent the text message, when I received the confirmation reply, my heart still hurt—Green needs us the most When saving his child's nunchuck, we left. Across the cold screen, I stroked the grown-up Green, and Green stroked the nunchuck that hadn't grown up. He licked and kissed his son's cheek, and leaned his head gently on the statue.Seeing a wolf showing his fragility, I feel sorry for my Green, his love for children is also so deep... I can escape back to the city if I can't survive, but Green can't.I can still rely on my parents, Green can't.I can cry, Green can't, he has no choice but to be strong, because he is the wolf father who carries the family.Perhaps in summer, when we were exploring wolf dens and observing wolf pups in the back mountains, he was running around day and night looking for food, but he never recognized us? The Greens lay beside their "son" quietly, very peacefully.At first, in order to protect the children, Hot Mom bit me down the hillside, but now, the children she worked so hard for are leaving her one by one, how will she resolve this sadness... The crow, staring at the scene of us saving the child silently.I'm glad I saved Scud, and I saved Green's child! At least she's still alive.I watched Scud in the video and saw her as my granddaughter for the first time.The wound on her stomach healed, and the red belt was gone. After a near-death escape, she seemed to have matured suddenly, her gait and expression became more stable, and her eyes were sharp like a hunter's.However, the price for the growth of the little wolves is too heavy. This is a cruel battlefield, and they are almost wiped out.Scud finally grew to be eight months old. Green was the same age when he left me. He went to the wilderness as a child and faced danger alone.I can't stop being terrified when I think about it now. I am an ordinary woman, not a scientist, but when I came to Ruoergai and began to pay attention to all these things, I slowly learned many heart-wrenching facts.It is not a theoretical study on the desk of an expert, nor is it a glorified environmental change. Poachers everywhere, blatant dealers of dead cattle, overgrazing and devouring the grasslands, tourists sweating and sweating, man-made disasters are more severe than natural disasters!The Huoyan family is gone, none of the four children of the black-necked crane survived, the fox has only one cub left, and the four little wolves in the back mountain are dead or maimed... During this year, the four we saw Wildlife families are falling apart one by one.Little cranes, little foxes, lucky boys, nunchucks... I used to hope with joy to record the happy growth of these babies, and watched them fly to the blue sky and run to the wilderness one day, but who knew that I saw them go to death ... My Green, behind the unrestrained freedom you yearn for is food and clothing, homelessness, a dying homeland, shotguns, poisons, traps, traps, natural disasters and man-made disasters and the pain of losing a child...Three years, how did you survive? of?In the past three years, I have been thinking day and night. In order to resolve this longing, we will return to the wolf pack.I thought that as long as I saw you alive and well, all my worries would disappear. I thought that this worry would calm down with the passage of time. I thought that after I calmed down, I could leave here with peace of mind, like the ending of all fairy tales , you are living happily. After searching hard for nearly a year, I found you, but found that what followed was a heavier page. Can we save a wolf's life, can we change the fate of a wolf?
