Xia Zuoyi can see that the white wolf is very vigilant - it is now protecting the two cubs of different breeds in the back, its fangs are bared, and its ears are nervously turned back...
The whole body is in an attacking state, refusing his approach.
Xia Zuoyi didn't move any more, and temporarily let the fluffy people take a few steps back, and asked 098 about the white wolf and the two cubs.
"098, how did you even think of giving me three canines? And they're not the same breed."
098 scratched his bald head with his little match hand: [Didn't the host say that there is no canine family?]
[This white wolf and two cubs are a family of animals, both were adopted by the mother of the white wolf, but then the mountain collapsed, and the mother of the white wolf was buried in the snow to save them and lost her life...]
[The white wolf wandered alone for a long time with two cubs.]
[Because the white wolf descended from the sacred mountain and has the blood of a king in his body, most people have bad intentions...]
If those people were given the white wolf, the final result would be that the white wolf was imprisoned, shackled and domesticated... The two cubs were brutally killed...
098 said softly, as if afraid of disturbing something: [Host, wolves are arrogant animals]
[A grown and intelligent white wolf is more vigilant towards humans. If the host wants to gain the trust of the white wolf, he must be patient... ]
Xia Zoe nodded.
A half-sized white wolf is really not easy to carry compared to a cub.
Xia Zuoyi's eyes fell on the two cubs behind the white wolf - the white fox looked at him with ignorant curiosity and subtle vigilance, and hid behind obediently without moving.
And the husky cub... has a strong curiosity about the surrounding, and has been trying to crawl around without giving up, humming, maybe giving a piece of meat can follow...
Xia Zuoyi stared at the white wolf's ice blue eyes again, and took a step back to a safer distance.
He patted Xue Tuan's head and said something softly about food. Xue Tuan understood it in seconds, flicked his tail and turned to leave, while the rest of the fluffy ones were lying or lying not far away under Xia Zuoyi's signal.
Seeing this, the white wolf relaxed a little, but still maintained his previous posture, without even shaking his ears.
When Xia Zoe looked at it, Xue Tuan soon dragged a deer back, and threw the deer whose neck had been bitten off in front of the white wolf—
With a bang, the dust kicked up a little.
The white wolf's ears trembled slightly, his eyes stopped on the stag for a few seconds and then looked at the snow mass, the air began to smell a little blood, but the stagnant atmosphere changed slightly.
The husky cub's humming sound stopped for a while, and then changed direction and tried to climb here, and the little white fox couldn't help showing eager eyes when looking at the dead stag.
Xia Zuoyi felt that something was wrong and asked in his heart: "098, venison should not be in the recipes of huskies and white foxes, especially puppy dogs, they can't eat raw meat..."
White fox recipes include lemmings, birds, eggs, berries or fish.
Although there are many recipes for huskies, they do not include raw meat... Otherwise, vomiting and diarrhea may occur.
098 Answer: [This dog is an ancient Siberian Husky. It is wild and strong, and its spleen and stomach are not weak. The blood of the white wolf and the white fox also determines their wide range of recipes.]
[The host needn't worry.]
Xia Zuoyi didn't ask any more questions after hearing the words.
He and the fluffy ones stayed here, and the white wolf was obviously still vigilant and didn't get close to the food.
So he slowed down and said, "It will be very safe here, no one will hurt you, the mountains and forests are free but also dangerous, remember to find a safe place to rest tonight."
The white wolf's ears moved slightly.
Xia Zoe did not intend to forcefully bring the three new canids to the castle. They wandered for a long time, especially the white wolves, who had strong hostility towards humans.
After he finished speaking, he turned and left, the fluffy ones following behind.
When I went to see it again the next day, the stag left behind had turned into a skeleton, and the remaining carrion was being eaten by birds.
Xia Zuoyi glanced - there were some not-so-obvious traces scattered around, and the white wolf had already left here with two cubs.
He asked the fluffy ones who followed to search.
Not long after, the white wolf and two cubs were found in a relatively hidden cave.
The half-sized white wolf hunted a rabbit and was tearing at the tenderest meat of the rabbit with its sharp teeth, and then placed the meat strips in front of the two cubs.
Xia Zuoyi deliberately made some noises to let the white wolf notice him.
Then, he appeared when the white wolf began to be vigilant again, but he was not close to the cave, and he took off the basket hanging on the briquettes outside, which contained some chicken livers, berries, bird eggs, lemmings, etc.
Snowball hunted a buck again.
This time, Xia Zuoyi did not leave with the fluffy ones, but retreated to a safe distance from the white wolf and the two cubs, and stretched his long legs and sat on the stone.
In his small backpack there is a lunch specially prepared by Judit, and he is enjoying it here today.
The fluffy people were obviously curious about the white wolf and the two cubs. After they had eaten and drank, they lay down and stared at it, making the white wolf's ears that had been slumped up again nervously and its tail hanging straight down.
The white wolf did not immediately go to eat the stag dragged by the snow group. After the two cubs finished eating the rabbit meat, they stood aside, and their ice blue eyes swept to Xia Zuoyi from time to time. movement.
After lunch, Xia Zuoyi conveniently packed up his things, said "I'll see you tomorrow" and left.
The third day, the fourth day, the fifth day... The white wolf gradually became less vigilant about the appearance of Xia Zuoyi.
Slowly, the white wolf started to eat in front of Xia Zuoyi, then allowed Xia Zuoyi to approach slowly, stroked its hair with his hands, and picked up two cubs...
- Relationships gradually improve and become close.
But the white wolf was still reluctant to follow Xia Zuoyi to his castle.
It even became the king of a pack of wolves during this time—even though he was not yet an adult, he defeated the leader of the pack.
It was a chaotic rocky area. The gray-haired wolves stood on the low stones and looked up. A half-sized white wolf stood on the high stone cliff and howled. Howling sounded one after another...
The two cubs huddled obediently behind the white wolf.
And Xia Zuoyi stood not far away and stared intently.
After that, Xia Zuoyi went to the forest to visit the white wolf and the two cubs almost every day, and named them after getting closer.
Xia Zuoyi wanted to let the white wolf follow him back to the castle with two cubs.
But after saying it twice, and seeing Bailang's indifferent appearance, Xia Zuoyi didn't force it any more, and he thought that since Bailang had joined the wolf pack, maybe it would be better to live in the forest.
Xia Zuoyi maintained the frequency of seeing the white wolf and the cubs every day, and gradually even the people in the castle began to know that the Lord Lord was fluffy outside.
They were debating how long before the new plush came to the castle.
On this day, Xia Zuoyi took Yadai to study how to make hand sanitizer in the alchemy laboratory, and was so immersed in the experiment that he forgot the practice of visiting white wolves and cubs in the forest.
—until Judit knocked on the door and walked in with Xia Zoe's answer.
"Lord, maybe you should go to the window and take a look..."
Xia Zuoyi raised his head suspiciously: "What?"
He was holding a tube of beautifully colored rose water in his hand, and he was about to add it to the liquid that was melted by soap—a liquid made of soap cut into small pieces and added to water, and then heated.
There are already soaps on the Western Continent. Although the production cost is high and the sale is slightly expensive, it is not unusual.
Long ago soap was made from boiled suet mixed with caustic soda and chalk.
Generally speaking, bar soap is made from suet oil and grass ash, which is rough in shape and not durable.
This method has been around for a long time.
Later, there were more ways to make soap.
For example, olive oil is used to make soap, animal fat is made... Most of the soap-making methods in the Empire of Saint Air use olive oil or a mixture of butter, suet and plant ash...
And countries or cities near the river use more fish oil.
In the Western Continent, soap is mostly used for washing clothes, etc., and it is not popular because of the price.
Although there are people who use soap to wash their bodies, even the nobles undoubtedly think such an act is too extravagant, and the most important thing is that frequent bathing is not recommended in this era.
Thanks to the backwardness of medical technology and the deviation of medical cognition.
It's widely believed that taking a bath can lead to cold or unhealthy winds and more illnesses—a bad behavior that shouldn't be done too often.
Therefore, if the body odor is heavy, people will wear dried flowers or sprinkle powder made of spices on their clothes, among which the spices include cloves, cinnamon...
Xia Zuoyi thought that since people don't like to wash their hands and bodies with soap, it is better to change their direction and develop another daily necessities that they cannot refuse.
He handed the rosewater to Adair, had Adair pour it into the melted soapy liquid, then walked to the window and looked out—a little bit of white was hidden behind the tree at Judit's finger.
That's not really hiding.
Because the brush-like tail was exposed, it swayed slightly as if trying to attract attention, and there were two cubs fighting together beside the tail.
Xia Zuoyi was surprised: "ice cream?"
Judit also knew about the existence of the new plush, but it was the first time he saw it: "Lord Lord gave them a name?"
Xia Zuoyi pointed to the white wolf sticking out his head from behind the tree: "Ice cream."
Then, he pointed to the black and white cub and the cub with a big fluffy tail: "Egg, rice cake."
Xia Zoe turned around and walked out of the alchemy laboratory with some doubts, and walked quickly outside the castle with Judit.
White Wolf Ice Cream saw Xia Zuoyi's figure in the forest in the distance, and then slowly walked out of the tree. The two cubs had already been close to Xia Zuoyi, and now they stumbled to the side...
"Ow."
When Xia Zuoyi came to the front, the ice cream called out softly and swept the bend of his calf with his fluffy tail.
Judit stood not far away, and after sensing the vigilance of the white wolf, he did not come again.
Xia Zuoyi picked up the egg and the rice cake, and was licked by them enthusiastically.
He thought for a while and smiled, "Ice cream, can I build a nest for you here?"
"Ow."
Ice-cream's ice-blue eyes are different from the coldness when they first met, and they look at Xia Zuoyi with imperceptible tenderness.
Two days later, a beautiful little house was built at the junction of the mountain forest and the lake.
After the two cubs got acquainted with the plush, they often stumbled into the castle and slept in it at night. Soon after the white wolf became familiar with its small house, seeing that the cubs did not come back much, he also tried the first. Enter the castle.
