In the eyes of many people, the image of the wolf is treacherous, cunning and fierce, and the saying "white-eyed wolf" makes people equate the revenge with it, so since ancient times, human beings have not only been very disgusted with wolves, but also often compared wolves to fierce enemies. However, not everyone is repulsive to wolves, in 2010, there was such a girl in Chengdu, who raised the wolf as her own child, so ten years later, what is the end of this "Beauty and the Beast" combination?
In 2010, as an animal painter, Li Weiyi came to the Ruoerge Grassland, which is called a "wildlife paradise", to create, and in the process of chatting with the herders, Li Weiyi learned a story that happened a few days ago, and the protagonist of the story is not a person, but the wolf king's family. The she-wolf just gave birth and needs nutrition, the wolf king had no choice but to go to the human herding area in order to forage for food for his "wife and children", but unfortunately it was just ready to shoot and mistakenly entered the herder's hunting clip, in order not to be insulted, the wolf king resolutely chose to break his leg to escape, but where can the three-legged wolf run over the two-legged person, and in the end it still failed to escape the herdsman's pursuit and was directly killed.
And the she-wolf in the nest, seeing that the "husband" did not return for several days, also guessed that the wolf king may not be there, so it found the "poisonous meat trap" set by the herdsmen nearby, and without the slightest hesitation, chose to "martyr her husband", and in order not to be "skinned and cramped" by the herdsmen to retain the last dignity, before dying, it also scratched its own fur with its claws....
This story deeply shocked Li Weiyi, and her heart also produced a strong sense of heartache, so after thinking for a moment, Li Weiyi decided to look for the nest of newborn wolf cubs, and used a paintbrush to record their appearance forever to comfort the "spirit in heaven" of the wolf parents.
The scorching sun on the grasslands is full of itching, and the strong wind in the river valley makes people shiver, so that the environment with a huge temperature difference between day and night is easy for local herders to dare not stay all day, but Li Weiyi only based on the sporadic clues given by insiders, he ran sleeplessly for three days and three nights, and this spirit is also really admirable.
And God didn't seem to want to live up to Li Weiyi's efforts, just when she was about to be unable to support it, she really let her find the litter of little wolf cubs, but it was hard to find, but the scene in front of her made her fall into sadness again...
It turned out that at this time, five days had passed since the wolf king 's "husband and wife" had died one after another, and the wolf cubs had not eaten and starved for several days, coupled with the loss of their mother's care, the six little wolf cubs had already died five, and the only one left was also invisible.
If such a scene is placed on a human being and destroys a family, why should it not be the case on the body of a wolf? So Li Weiyi, who had not slept for several days and was overworked, suddenly collapsed in her heart, and she squatted on the ground to watch the dying little wolf howl and cry, weakly hitting the ground with a hammer, as if venting the "guilt" of being a human being.
But at this moment a miracle happened, a tear of Li Weiyi happened to fall into the mouth of the little wolf cub, the wolf cub sucked this warm salty and wet liquid, instantly relaxed his breath and woke up, it suddenly recognized the woman in front of him who gave it warmth as a mother, and struggled to crawl to her thigh, hoping that the "mother" could save its life, and Li Weiyi saw that the wolf cub seemed to have salvation, hurriedly managed the herdsmen to come to the goat's milk, fed the wolf cub after a little heating, and drank a mouthful of warm milk. The wolf cub's body, which had already begun to stiffen, eased up.
After being busy for a while, Li Weiyi finally heard a cry similar to a baby's "whining", at this time she understood that the wolf cub had been completely rescued, and she could finally rest for a while....
Not sleeping for more than three days is a very painful thing for an adult man, let alone such a weak woman, so Li Weiyi's lying down is a day and a night. When Li Weiyi woke up, it was already the next night, and the herders were worried about her physical condition, but she was not worried about herself, but the wolf cub, so she ignored the physical pain and ran straight to the little wolf cub's nest.
Li Weiyi originally thought that after a night, the condition of the little wolf cub would improve, but he did not expect that it would be weaker, which made Li Weiyi very confused, so she hurried to ask the herdsmen about the situation, and after inquiring, she learned that on the day and night of her coma, everyone was busy taking care of her, and no one cared about the wolf cub, which made Li Weiyi both moved and felt very sad, so at this time she had a thought in her heart, that is, to bring this little wolf cub back to the city to raise.
Although this decision is a bit sloppy, it is also a forced choice, because the herders are inherently resistant to wolves, and they don't have to think about it, once Li Weiyi is gone, no one is willing to take care of the wolf cubs, and she can't watch the life she tried her best to save die, so the city became the best destination for the wolf cubs.
Li Weiyi's home is in Chengdu, which is one of the cities with the largest density of Chinese, and bringing a wolf here is bound to cause people's dissatisfaction, so after taking the little wolf cub into the city, Li Weiyi secretly placed it in an apartment with the help of friends. When everything settled down, Li Weiyi also gave the wolf cub a very fairy tale name "Green", and she herself began to call herself "Green Mother", and the story of "Beauty and the Beast" was staged in the city.
Although the size of the apartment is not large, but at first because Green is still young, it will be so down, but as Green grows day by day, the teeth are getting sharper and sharper, this small apartment can no longer accommodate it, Green began to resist the shackles, refused to eat dog food canned dogs, only wanted to eat the raw meat that Li Weiyi bought from the supermarket; began to howl on the rooftop, as if he was thinking of his hometown in the grassland; began to frantically "demolish the house", as if his own wolf nature was gradually recovering.
At this time, Li Weiyi finally realized that Green will always be a wolf, never because of human captivity into a dog, so from this time on she decided to wait until Green learned the skills of wild life, she released it back to nature, but it is not so easy to stimulate wildness, so Li Weiyi can be described as a hard thought.
She began feeding Green live creatures, training Green to run in the wasteland, warning Green not to get too close to humans, and began to put Green in the Tibetan mastiff herd to "survive in the wilderness", and all this was ready, and in the winter of 2010, when the wolf race needed new members to join, Li Weiyi brought it back to the Ruoerge steppe.
When he saw that Green had blended into the wolf pack, Li Weiyi was like a mother who watched her son grow up and integrate into society, until she witnessed the departure of her "son" and finally got into the car and returned to Chengdu with tears in her eyes.
Seeing this, don't say that everyone here, even Li Weiyi himself thought that their story was over, but in fact, after this, their "mother and son" still met twice....
The first time was one day in 2014, when Li Weiyi returned to the Ruoerge grassland to sketch, she actually saw a male wolf watching her among the wolves, she saw at a glance that it was Green, but what puzzled her was that Green actually took a few steps back in a panic when she saw her, and even left with her own child's head.
Green, what's wrong with that?
Li Weiyi, who had mixed feelings in her heart, did not know what was wrong with her "son", so she hurried to inquire about the herders around her, but it was this inquiry that made her learn a cruel truth.
It turned out that after returning to the grassland, Green had already "married his wife and had children" and had a happy and happy family, and because of Li Weiyi's previous care for it, it had always retained goodwill towards mankind, but it was this kindness that harmed Green and his children. Once, when Green was playing with the children on the grassland, it found that several herders had found their family, and if this happened to other wolves, it would inevitably rush to "move" with the children, but Green did not, out of trust in humans, it did not think that this was a big deal.
But it was this carelessness that made three of its four children killed, which made Green have a complete hatred for people, so that it subverted his cognition, so that even Li Weiyi did not dare to recognize it, for fear that his only remaining child would have some accident because of its carelessness...
The second time they met was six years later, in August 2020, Li Weiyi met Green again on the grassland, but this time Green did not feel afraid of "mother" as last time, but rushed straight into Li Weiyi's arms and licked her cheek.
So why is there such a big gap in attitudes between Green and the back? This is also thanks to the various policies on the protection of wild animals introduced by the state in the past six years, as well as the thousands of military and police comrades guarding the grasslands, it is precisely under their efforts that people and nature and animals can live in harmony, and Green and Li Weiyi dare to recognize each other generously.
