At the end of the Qing Dynasty, a famine broke out in Fengtian Province (now Liaoning), and the little grain left in the lonely and helpless old lady Luo's family was found and robbed.
This made Mrs. Luo, who was already living a difficult life, into despair, but at this time she received a rescue from a northeastern wolf, which made Mrs. Luo rekindle her hope for life.
What's going on here? Why do wolves give things to humans?
In a small village in Fengtian Province (now Liaoning), there was a mrs. Luo, who had no children and no daughters under her knees, lived alone at the head of the village, and had little contact with the villagers.
However, Mrs. Luo still lived her own life with taste, guarding her own acre and three-quarters of land, just enough to support herself.
Occasionally, I will go to the mountain for a walk, put two traps, and if I am lucky enough to clip a hare or pheasant, I can eat meat.
If you don't have it, dig up some wild vegetables or pick some wild fruits and change your taste.
On this day, Mrs. Luo went to the mountain again, and saw a hare in the clip, which made Mrs. Luo very happy, and it seemed that she could add a meat dish today.
Mrs. Luo carried the hare down the hill with a beautiful feeling, but suddenly heard a whimpering sound coming from the grass next to her, and Mrs. Luo stopped and followed the sound to open the grass next to her.
Finding that it was a skinny little dog lying on the ground, looking at its hungry body that did not have much meat, Mrs. Luo flipped a small piece of steamed bun out of her bag and placed it in front of it.
But the puppy did not eat, but instead whimpered, which frightened Mrs. Luo.
How this dog barked like a wolf, stunned for a while, Mrs. Luo reacted that this is not the same as the wolf barking, this is obviously a small wolf, how can there be a dog running into the forest, let alone a small dog.
Old Mrs. Luo panicked at the thought of this and planned to leave quickly, but when she saw the little wolf looking at herself with pitiful eyes, she still couldn't bear it.
If it wasn't for the accident that its parents had encountered, how could it have starved into this look.
Looking down at the rabbit in his hand, and then at the little wolf with the bones in his eyes, Mrs. Luo finally decided that she could not ignore him.
Although the wolf was a dangerous animal, he was still young after all, and he really couldn't let such a small wolf starve to death.
So he picked up the hungry little wolf, found a cave and put it in, so that he was not afraid of being discovered by other beasts or hunters, and gritted his teeth and gave it the rabbit that was hard to get.
The little wolf who smelled the smell of blood ate happily, and when she saw it, Mrs. Luo left.
The next day, Mrs. Luo was still worried about the little wolf, so she bought some offal from the hunter's house in the same village and walked towards the mountain.
When I got to yesterday's cave, I didn't see the little wolf, leaving only the remains of the hare that had been eaten yesterday.
I don't know if he went to forage for food or if he would come back, but Mrs. Luo left the internal organs in the hole and left.
On the third day, when Mrs. Luo went again, she saw the little wolf resting in the cave.
When the little wolf saw that it was Mrs. Luo coming, he snorted excitedly, but Mrs. Luo was frightened.
Originally, I was still worried about whether this wolf would attack himself when he had the strength, but seeing that the little wolf had no intention of attacking himself, Mrs. Luo put her mind at ease.
After approaching, he put the internal organs he had brought into his hole, and when he was ready to leave, the little wolf held a hare and placed it in front of him, and Mrs. Luo was stunned, "Is it trying to give me this rabbit?" thought to mrs. Luo.
Seeing that the little wolf looked at herself expectantly, Mrs. Luo carefully picked up the hare on the ground and said happily to the little wolf, "Thank you rabbit." ”
After going back, Mrs. Luo was only one person, and she couldn't eat so much meat at a time, so she planned to make the rest of the jerky and make it easy to preserve, and the internal organs would be brought to the little wolf tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, after That, Mrs. Luo went several more times without seeing the little wolf, and the internal organs she had taken for it were all placed there without moving.
Mrs. Luo only then thought that the little wolf had sent herself a hare that day as a farewell gift to herself, and the little wolf was afraid that he had found his own clan and left.
After that, Mrs. Luo returned to the previous life trajectory, but as she grew older, Mrs. Luo also felt that her legs and feet were not as sharp as before.
So he began to stock up some dried meat and dried fruit for himself, thinking that he would not be able to go up the mountain in the future, and there were these things that could be used to fight the tooth sacrifice.
Who would have thought that these dried meat and dried fruits would help Mrs. Luo survive a difficult life afterwards.
Three years later, because of the drought, the famine spread to Liaoning, and Mrs. Luo's village could not avoid it.
There was no harvest in the field, and everyone struggled to survive on surplus grain, but as the days passed, the drought did not ease.
Some people in the village began to plan to flee the wilderness and go south, but Old Mrs. Luo was old and could not keep up with her legs and feet, so she stayed.
Because Mrs. Luo lived alone, she usually did not eat much and saved a lot of food, but this famine did not know when it was a head, afraid that she would be found to have food, and afraid that her food would not last until the day the famine ended.
Mrs. Luo still goes to the mountains every day to see if she can dig up some wild vegetables, and she can also save some grain in the porridge.
Coupled with the fact that there was also dried meat and dried fruit saved before, so that Mrs. Luo's life was quite OK.
Unexpectedly, however, the drought not only brought famine, but also exposed the evil of human nature.
Although Mrs. Luo did not dare to eat too much every day, she was still discovered by people with hearts.
Some people have been starved by famine and can't walk, but Mrs. Luo and an old woman still have the strength to go up the mountain every day.
This abnormal situation was seen by Liu Mazi, who did not follow the large army to the south, so he felt that Mrs. Luo still hid a lot of grain, and took advantage of the moonlight to run to Mrs. Luo's home.
Sure enough, when he found Mrs. Luo's food in the kitchen, Liu Mazi smiled happily and muttered, "I didn't expect this old lady to hide so much grain." “
After saying that, he picked it up, and then rummaged through the yard to see if Mrs. Luo still had food hidden elsewhere.
In the process of rummaging, she accidentally woke up Mrs. Luo, who had just slept, and Mrs. Luo went out to see Liu Mazi fighting with Liu Mazi with the only grain she had left.
Unfortunately, where can an old man's strength compete with Liu Mazi, a man who is in his prime, he can only watch Liu Mazi take away his only half bag of rice.
Mrs. Luo was originally tortured by famine and lost the vitality of her former life, and now her only little hole card has been robbed, and Mrs. Luo, who originally felt that she could barely survive, was filled with despair.
She walked slowly back into the room, lay on the bed, and looked at the roof and wondered if she should dig a pit for herself first.
Liu Mazi, who grabbed the food, felt that when the bag of food was finished, he was afraid that he would really have to wait for death, so he took the food with him all night and embarked on the road south.
Because he was carrying food and afraid of being robbed by others, Liu Mazi did not dare to take the road this way and did not dare to follow the crowd.
That night he was resting in the woods, pulling out grain, trying to cook something for himself, who knew that the light and smell of the fire still attracted others.
Liu Mazi, who originally refused to give up his hand with food, was the opponent of a group of them, so the food he snatched was snatched away by others.
Liu Mazi was beaten with a scar, lying on the ground looking at the stars in the sky, helplessly thinking: Maybe this is the turn of feng shui.
When Mrs. Luo woke up the next day, she thought of going to the mountain to see what else she could eat, but she thought that her grain had been robbed.
He sat back on the bed in frustration and thought, "I've lived so long as an old woman, maybe it's time to go." ”
Mrs. Luo, who had done so, lay back on the bed, thinking about what to do with her own affairs, but at this moment she heard the sound of the courtyard door being slammed.
Mrs. Luo thought that she had no food anymore, how could anyone still look for her, so she lay on the bed and refused to move and thought of going with them.
However, the sound outside the door not only did not stop, but became louder and louder, and Mrs. Luo got up and opened the courtyard door as a wolf.
Seeing that the courtyard door was opened, the wolf placed the prey he had picked up at the door, so he took a few steps back and squatted on the ground to look at Mrs. Luo.
Mrs. Luo was very surprised to see this situation, this wolf did not look like there was much meat on his body, he should not have eaten a few full meals, and even brought himself food.
Mrs. Luo looked into the eyes of this wolf, and there was some familiar feeling, was this the little wolf she had fed 3 years ago?
Mrs. Luo picked up the hare with mixed feelings, and although the hare was also dry and thin, at least there was some meat.
Mrs. Luo said to the wolf, "Wait a minute. ”
He turned around hurriedly, took a knife from the kitchen and split the hare in two, leaving half of himself and the other half out.
Giving it to the wolf, he said, "It's not easy for anyone to famine now, it's hard for you to still worry about me as an old woman, so you can take this half and eat it." ”
The wolf picked up the remaining half of the rabbit and disappeared into the forest.
Mrs. Luo looked at its disappearing figure, thinking that she had made some dried fruits and dried meat in the bedroom, and it was not nothing, and suddenly she had a desire for life.
"At least there is a wolf who remembers me as an old woman," Mrs. Luo thought to herself, so she cleaned up a bit, wanting to look for something else to fill her hunger.
From the wild vegetables at the beginning to the bark and leaves later, Mrs. Luo struggled to find hope for survival in this famine.
Occasionally I would think of the wolf, and although it had never come again, Mrs. Luo always felt that it was still alive, that it was trying to live as hard as she was.
When the rain once again fell on this land, it was sprinkled with life in this dry land.
The suffering in life is inevitable, and we are very small in the face of natural disasters, but as long as we hold on with hope, we can definitely wait for the moment when the rain will pass.
At all times, we must believe that as long as we maintain our kindness, there will always be people in this world who are willing to give kindness to you and guard your existence with their small strength.
