"Xiaochun?
What's wrong? "
Su Shuiche saw that the wolf cub, which usually didn't enter the embroidery room, ran in today for the first time. It bit her trousers and pulled hard, as if it wanted her to get up and go outside.
Firstly, Su Shuiyin was worried that the embroidery would be stained if it touched it. Secondly, she suspected that something had happened outside that made Xiaochun, who had always been calm, so anxious.
She followed Xiaochun out of the main room and went to the wolf cub's cabin. She saw Little Snow lying in the cabin as lazily as yesterday, not moving at all.
"Little Snow, what's wrong?
Are you sick? "
Su Shuiche saw this and worriedly squatted in front of Little Snow. She reached out and touched its head, but it didn't have a fever. She copied her cousin's action when he checked the puppy and turned Little Snow's eyelids, but she didn't see any turbid or bloodshot pupils.
She carefully looked at Little Snow's expression. Other than laziness and sleepiness, there were no other strange symptoms.
"Then what's going on?" Su Shuiche squatted for a long time, but still couldn't find the reason why Little Snow was so weak.
Looking at the sky, it was already past noon. Lin Siyao should be back soon with Dabao.
Su Shuiche got up and added a few spoonfuls of water for Little Snow. She thought that the wolf cub should be the same as people. Even if it was sick, there was no harm in drinking more water.
She went to the kitchen and washed her hands with warm water. She took the vegetable cores that Lin Siyao had already picked in the morning and put them on the stone slab by the kitchen door. Under the faint warm winter sun, she thought about Little Snow's symptoms and slowly washed her hands.
Just as she finished washing the vegetable cores and hung them on the shelf, Lin Siyao and Dabao came back.
"I said I would wash them. Are your hands cold?"
Lin Siyao saw the basket of washed vegetable cores and unhappily frowned. He pulled her over and wrapped her cold little hands with his big hand.
"Ah Yao, I don't know what's wrong with Little Snow. It's been very sleepy for the past two days. Could it be sick?" Su Shuiche was worried about Little Snow. She pulled Lin Siyao and walked towards the cabin while talking.
"This is normal because Little Snow is a mother."
Lin Siyao looked at her with a smile.
Early in the morning, when he left, he had noticed Little Snow's abnormality. Little Snow really did have the pulse of pregnancy, so he didn't bring Xiaochun.
Right now, Little Snow should be unable to deal with Lu Wan'er who really came to provoke him.
What he looked forward to even more was the day when the little woman beside him would give birth to his second relative in this world.
However, Little Snow's to take care of her body's body was a little bit.. to Little Little Snow 'was to'
In any case, the two of them still had more than half of their lives to live leisurely, so there was no hurry.
"Little … Little Snow … is … is a mother?" Su Shuiche opened her little mouth in surprise. "But … but it … isn't even two years old yet?" Forgive her for not being able to wrap her head around the situation.
"To be exact, it's only one and a half years old." Lin Siyao nodded.
Wolf pups usually mated in early spring. If they were able to successfully conceive and give birth, then Little Snow should have been born at the beginning of last summer. It had already been one and a half years.
Of course, there were also female wolves that mated at the end of autumn. Little Snow in front of them was a living example!
"Heavens!"
Su Shuiche covered her mouth in disbelief. She squatted down and couldn't help but poke Little Snow's head. "You're not even an adult yet and you're already thinking about being a mother!
Stupid Little Snow! "
"It's fine.
Wolves and dogs are the same. Their bodies are good. They can give birth at one and a half years old. "
But, if they wanted to successfully raise a wolf pup that was born at the end of the cold year, then they would need to take care of it very well.
Lin Siyao laughed and pulled her up. "Aren't you curious about who the father of the baby in Little Snow's stomach is?" His words had a hint of pride in them.
"You know?" Su Shui Yong raised her head and looked at him in surprise.
"I'm not sure. It's just a guess." He pulled her into the kitchen and sat her down at the table. He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to make lunch.
"Do you still remember the last time we went to Dashi Mountain?"
He sat in front of the stove and started a fire. He chatted with her about half a month ago when he brought Little Snow to Dashi Mountain for the last time to hunt.
"Is it that time?" Su Shuiche was a little embarrassed as she discussed the reason why Little Snow was a mother.
"Yes, it should be.
If I'm not mistaken, the other party is the Wolf King. "
At the same time, Lin Siyao looked at the stove and saw that the fire was almost hot enough. He got up and went around the stove. He turned on another big pot that was specially used for cooking. He turned on the stove and added a spoonful of rapeseed oil, preparing to stir-fry mushrooms and cabbage.
"Wolf King?"
Su Shuiche blinked her eyes in surprise. It can't be. Dashi Mountain actually has a large number of wolves?
"Ah Yao, next time don't go to the mountain." She worriedly advised.
Thinking about it, she used to be so lucky. Before she met Lin Siyao, she actually lived a good life in Dashi Mountain for two months.
But now, thinking about it carefully, she was scared.
"I know what I'm doing." Lin Siyao smiled and promised.
It was inevitable that there was a wolf pack in Dashi Mountain.
Because wolves were pack animals, it was impossible for there to be only Little Snow's family.
However, he only met the wolf pack in the last few times he entered the mountain.
But because Xiaochun or Little Snow, who was also a wolf, was by his side, the wolf pack led by the Wolf King did not have any malicious attacks.
But, including the last time he entered the mountain, Little Snow only met the Wolf King twice. Unexpectedly, she was pregnant with its cub?
Lin Siyao did not know whether to laugh or cry.
At this time, Su Shuiche was also speechless.
She really did not expect that since she came to the Dahui Country, it could be said that Little Snow, who she almost watched grow up, would jump from a wolf cub to a mother who was pregnant with a cub overnight. At most, in three months, she would give birth to a nest of pink and cute wolf cubs.
As for herself, it had only been half a year since she got rid of the title of "wolf cub".
"Ah Yao, since Little Snow is pregnant, let's give her a bowl of goat milk to drink."
Su Shuiche quickly adjusted her mentality and dutifully entered the role of taking care of Little Snow until she gave birth. She fought for the benefits during the pregnancy for her.
The little ewe sent by the village chief was now the most vigorous lactating period after mating and giving birth.
Moreover, five days ago, the village chief's other ewe also gave birth to a litter of little lambs and had plenty of milk.
Therefore, he took the three little lambs that belonged to him back home to feed them.
Therefore, the little ewe in Su Shuiche's house secreted a lot more goat milk. After the only little lamb was full, it could still squeeze out two big soup bowls.
As for Tian Dabao, when he smelled the smell of the goat milk, he pinched his nose and ran away.
Therefore, the two people and the two wolves shared equally. Every day, there was an extra bowl of hot goat milk on the breakfast table as a nutritious drink.
"Okay." Lin Siyao naturally had no objections.
Generally speaking, the survival rate of wolf cubs born in the cold winter was very low.
However, Little Snow was not giving birth in Dashi Mountain, but at home.
At most, they could build a temporary nest in the central room for them to pass the winter. It would not be cold.
In terms of food, there was a sufficient stock of dried meat, fresh and hot goat milk, and occasionally roasted some fresh fish sticks to feed them. In short, they would not be hungry. It would also not cause Little Snow to give birth prematurely or die after giving birth due to lack of nutrition.
Lin Siyao knew that Su Shuiche had more affection for Xiaochun and Little Snow than family.
Perhaps it was because she knew them before he did. When he thought about how he was jealous of the two beasts because of this, it was really funny.
…
In the next few days, Lin Siyao moved Xiaochun and Little Snow's nest to a corner of the central room.
Of course, it was only limited to sleeping at night or rainy weather.
If the weather was good during the day, Lin Siyao still wanted Little Snow to lie outside in the wooden house to bask in the sun.
Xiaochun's daily training was also suspended by Lin Siyao.
He ordered it to stay at home and not go anywhere.
Now, it could be said that there were two "women" at home, and one of them was pregnant.
Xiaochun's task was quite difficult.
Fortunately, after that day, Lu Wan'er did not appear again.
It was unknown whether it was because she had given up or because the weather was getting colder day by day, so she temporarily rested.
In short, Su Shuiche completely forgot about this matter after a few days of worrying.
She focused on the "Drunken Imperial Concubine" that would be delivered in less than half a month.
During this time, Xi Cui brought a message from the "Yueyun Embroidery House" second shopkeeper, Jiang Yingyun, telling her not to rush. She only needed to leave four days for her to deal with the follow-up work.
Su Shuiche could not help but laugh.
Look, look, she gave herself away, didn't she?
Who was the one who said that as long as she delivered the goods before New Year's Eve?
Fortunately, Su Shuiche set the delivery date for herself to be the 20th of December.
Even if she gave Jiang Yingyun four days, she only needed to deliver the goods before the 25th of December.
She still had a full five days to adjust her schedule.
Thus, Su Shuiche no longer rushed to do her embroidery work.
Occasionally, she would get up and walk around. She would accompany Lin Siyao, who had just finished training his disciple, to choose vegetables and chat. She would accompany Tian Dabao, who was practicing martial arts, to bicker. She would accompany Xiao Xue, who was about to give birth, to stroke her fur and bask in the sun. She would accompany the bored Xiaochun to jog around the courtyard a few times to keep warm.
Her days were very comfortable.
… …
After dinner that day, Su Shuiyao went into the bedroom to tidy up the quilt after playing with Xiaochun and Xiaoxue as usual. Lin Siyao cleaned up the kitchen and walked to the courtyard door, ready to bolt and lock it.
He saw a large snow-white wolf squatting in front of the courtyard door. Two fluorescent green lights were fixed on Lin Siyao who was walking in front of it.
Wolf King?
Lin Siyao also noticed it and raised his eyebrows.
"Go back!
This is not a place where you can come, "Lin Siyao said in a low voice.
If they were discovered by the patrolling villagers, not only would the Wolf King be in danger, but his family would also be suspected.
This was also the reason why he always locked the door in the evening and never let Xiaochun and Xiao Xue wander around.
And today, because he had asked Dabao to stay for dinner, he locked the door more than an hour later.
"Awoo …" The large wolf whimpered, as if begging him to let it in to see Xiao Xue.
"Go back.
It's fine.
If you don't want to cause trouble, go back into the mountains and don't come down again, "Lin Siyao ordered in a low voice as he stood in front of the Wolf King.
He would rather stay here foolishly and talk to the Wolf King than let it enter the house.
If there was a first time, there would be a second time.
If he let it in once, there would be a second time, a third time … until there was no end to it.
At that time, it would be too easy for outsiders to notice that something was wrong.
