The north wind has stopped, and the mountains and forests are quiet.
It's not that Lin Wu and Wang Ye never imagined this situation. When they saw Wolf Claw for the first time in the coffee shop, they had such a hunch. On the way here, they even discussed Wang Ye's transformation. The technical problem of how the tiger will drive the little wolf Lin Wu for a ride.
But when everything really happened in front of them, they were still stunned.
A complete wolf, you can't see any trace of humans in it.
… is this really Tao Qiran
Beneath the cedar, the tundra wolf suddenly moved.
It came towards them, every step on the snow, gentle and quiet.
The back rises and falls with the movement, it is so strong and so beautiful.
He clearly didn't believe that this was Tao Qiran, but Lin Wu stood there, watching it approach step by step, without feeling any fear.
It seems that it is not a beast that is approaching, but a beautiful dream.
The last time I felt this way was when he was on a night tour for the first time. He listened to an unknown call, like stepping on a soft dream, walking out of the dormitory, and threw himself into the embrace of the night.
The tundra wolf walked up to them, but did not stop, but passed them and went straight to the cabin.
Lin Wu looked down at the silver-gray fur brushing lightly around his legs. He couldn't move his eyes any longer. His eyes followed its back until he disappeared into the door of the wooden house.
A few minutes later, a figure came out of the wooden house.
No longer a tundra wolf, but Tao Qiran wrapped in a thick down jacket.
Uh, he can't be considered to come out, because his feet are still standing inside the door, and he doesn't seem to be willing to take another step out.
"Uncle..." Lin Wu finally made a voice and wanted to ask if it was really you, but Tao Qiran took it first.
"Can you guys come in first, it's really cold outside." The tundra wolf, who was still majestic just now, wrapped himself in a down jacket like a zongzi.
"Go into the room and talk," Zhao Li said next to him, "He's really afraid of the cold."
Lin Wu wondered: "Don't tundra wolves live in cold regions?"
Tundra wolf, also known as Siberian wolf.
As a professional with two Siberian classmates, a sled dog and a Siberian tiger, Lin Wu now has a very deep understanding of the cold tolerance of Siberian animals.
Zhao Li: "When he becomes a wolf, he is not afraid of the cold."
Following Zhao Li, Lin Wu and Wang Ye walked into the wooden house for the first time.
There are three rooms in total, and together with the fence, the whole yard is enclosed.
Zhao Li took them into the middle room.
Entering the door is a large heated kang, with a kang cabinet standing against the wall on the upper side of the kang. Through the glass cabinet door, you can see the neatly stacked quilts inside; there is a fire pit under the kang, and a faint fire shines from it, and the bottom continues. The burning of the kang will provide heat for the whole kang and resist the severe cold outside.
Tao Qiran sat on the hot kang, squinted his eyes comfortably, and patted the kang noodles next to him: "Come and sit together, it's very warm."
Patiently waiting for Lin Wu and Wang Ye to sit on the kang head.
Tao Qiran nodded: "Well, that's what you see."
Lin Wu: "..."
What is that!
"I can turn into a wolf," Tao Qiran smiled mischievously, as if he was talking about the weather, "it's just that when I turn back into a human, it's a little troublesome to get dressed."
"How did you change?" Wang Ye asked impatiently.
"It's right here," Tao Qiran said, "if you want to ask me how I changed, I can't tell..."
It was not long after the holiday, and he had been living on the mountain for a few days.
It was the same day as today, it was cold, but the sun was especially good. He took out the easel and sat down when he saw a hare jumping into the woods.
"I put the pen down at that moment," Tao Qiran looked out of the window, the snow-capped mountains were continuous and the forest was pinnacled, "I thought at the time, I've already awakened, why should I look at this forest through my works? I don't want to just be A bystander, I want to feel, to fit in…”
Like a fascination, he followed the hare into the depths of the jungle.
At that moment, he seemed to have forgotten that he was human.
He is like a real wolf, smelling the breath of the hare and hearing the snow falling needles, he is no longer an intruder in this mountain forest, but has become a part of this place, embraced and accepted by nature tenderly.
He began to run, chasing the wind through the forest, chasing the snow blown by the wind, chasing the stream flowing in the mountains, listening to the sounds of nature with his ears, and remembering every tree and bush with his body He pursues the vitality, which is also the composition of this vitality. He yearns for a passionate life, and in this yearning, he truly realizes the passion of life!
"When I recover, the sun has already set," Tao Qiran retracted his gaze and looked at Wang Ye and Lin Wu, but he couldn't hide the life-like light in his eyes, "I have also become a real wolf."
Dusk forest, dark and unclear.
It got up from the soft snow, no longer tree trunks, but low bushes in sight.
The down jacket and the clothes inside made it uncomfortable, and after struggling for a long time, it got out of the layers of clothes.
The young tundra wolf shook its head and body and let out a wolf howl that penetrated the forest.
Not long after, the wolf howls also came from the distant mountain, responding to the same kind one after another, as if feeling the joy of that new life.
Wang Ye: "That's it?"
Tao Qiran: "That's it."
Wang Ye: "How did it change in the middle so I don't remember it at all?"
Tao Qiran spread his hands.
Wang Ye retreated and asked for the next best thing: "What about you now, can you switch freely between humans and wolves?"
Tao Qiran: "Well."
Wang Ye: "How do you feel when you change?"
"The bones will be particularly painful," Tao Qiran said without thinking about his greatest distress, "but you can pass it by forbearance. It's temporary, and it will be fine after the form stabilizes."
Wang Ye: "Do you want to be able to change, or do you need a process?"
Tao Qiran: "Process?"
Wang Ye: "Postures, formulas or spells or something."
Tao Qiran: "...I am the awakening of the wild, not the transformation of a demon."
Having a headache when asked by Wang Ye, Tao Qiran simply looked at Lin Wu.
My nephew doesn't seem to have recovered from the shock.
Tao Qiran reached out and squeezed Lin Wu's face: "Hey—"
Lin Wu was shocked and came back to his senses: "Huh?"
Tao Qiran was both distressed and funny: "Your classmates have to ask for an in-depth interview, what do you want to ask?"
Lin Wu covered half of his cheek, but his brain was still sluggish.
If the wild awakening has shaken the global concept of evolution, then Tao Qiran's awakening is completely subverting, smashing, and overturning it again.
The impact was too strong, and Lin Wu needed time to digest it.
At the same time, he also greatly admired Wang Ye's ability to ask so many questions at this time.
Lin Wu silently looked around.
Classmate Wang was still staring at his uncle, as if he could see the mystery if he couldn't take his eyes off for a while.
For the first time, Lin Wu saw so many emotions in Wang Ye's eyes.
Those eyes that are always lazy, as if they are not interested in anything, are full of envy, yearning, excitement, and unreasonable annoyance and disappointment.
The house was quiet.
Only the crackling of the matches burning under the kang.
Suddenly, everyone raised their heads together, and all four pairs of eyes were alert at the same time.
There is a sound outside.
It is very subtle, like some kind of beast deliberately lightening its footsteps and approaching quietly through the snow.
"You guys stay here and don't move." Zhao Li got up and was about to walk out of the house.
Tao Qiran quickly grabbed him and followed him down: "Let's go together."
Lin Wu and Wang Ye looked at each other and immediately jumped off the heated kang.
Barren mountains and wild mountains, even if they are beasts, there are four of them. No, Tao Qiran can switch between human and wolf.
The four of them walked out of the house and went all the way to the entrance of the courtyard. Instead of going out, they guarded the courtyard gate and looked vigilantly in the direction of the sound.
Obliquely ahead, there is a dense fir tree, something walks in between, and the outer branches bent by the snow tremble slightly.
Lin Wu swallowed nervously, his wild intuition sensed the threat of the visitor, and he sounded an alarm in his heart.
The trembling of the fir branches became more and more obvious, and the snow on it was almost shaken off.
A piece of fur flashed between the needles.
Lin Wu squinted his eyes very quickly and caught the color.
Off-white background, black spots.
What beast is this
Lin Wu frowned in confusion. There are only so many kinds of ferocious beasts on Changbai Mountain, bears, tigers, wild boars, etc. Which one has this kind of markings
"Shhh-"
The outermost fir branches were squeezed open, and a leopard with black spots on a gray and white background emerged from the inside.
Strong limbs, a big fluffy tail, and icy blue feline eyes.
… snow leopards? !
Lin Wu widened his eyes in astonishment.
He remembered that the snow leopard branch was located in high-altitude mountains, Xinjiang Tianshan and Qinghai, although the book said that there were also some distributions in low-altitude mountains in Inner Mongolia, but Changbai Mountain? seriously
Shouldn't the king of the mountain in the northeast be a bear blind man amur tiger!
The snow leopard that got out of the woods did not approach any further, but stood there, tilting its head and staring at the four people at the door of the hospital as if observing the enemy.
Only then did Lin Wu notice that there was something on the snow leopard's back.
Seems like a... designer backpack with the iconic logo print
Tao Qiran and Zhao Li relaxed at the same time when they saw the snow leopard clearly.
"It's alright," Tao Qiran leaned leisurely against the hospital door, "I know."
The snow leopard let out a low roar, as if dissatisfied, turned and burrowed back into the dense firs.
There was a rustling in the bushes.
When she came out again, she was already a tall, short-haired woman, wearing a jacket and high boots, carrying a backpack, neat and neat.
"What's the matter with these two boys?" She didn't get close, her voice came through first, and her dissatisfied eyes went back and forth between Lin Wu and Wang Ye, "Tao Qiran, you promised to wait for us obediently!"
us
Forest fog conditioned reflex to look around, is there anyone else
"I'm very obedient," Tao Qiran raised his hands to show his innocence, "I've been staying on the mountain." After he finished speaking, he glanced at the woman's boots, really curious, "Your boots are also in the backpack. already?"
