Chapter 87 The waterfall blocks the way for two children
We climbed over two more hills and continued walking along the south direction. When we went downhill and passed the mountain stream, we could hear the rumbling sound of water from a distance.
When they got closer, they saw a waterfall blocking the way ahead. The water vapor brought bursts of coolness, causing the whole family to shiver involuntarily.
Yu Meixue glanced at the towering waterfall so close to her, then looked at the deep valley below the waterfall and couldn't help frowning.
"The waterfall is fast flowing, and the water is deep and cold. How can we get through? Do we have to take a longer detour?"
Cheng Su pointed at the sky and shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work. It's getting late. Even if we take a detour, you and I can't be sure there will be another suitable place to go. What if we encounter tigers and wolves again... No way!"
Everyone's concerns were correct. Li Yaoguang also agreed not to take a detour. Besides, he was stained with tiger blood, which was sticky. He could wash it off with water. More importantly...
"Aunt and uncle, we are lucky to have come across water. When we encountered the tiger before, I was covered in blood and it was easy for wild animals to follow me. I had no chance. Now that I have come across water, I can take the time to wash off the smell and wade across the river to avoid being followed by any big wild animals in the forest."
Yu Meixue and Cheng Su thought the same and nodded repeatedly. Li Yaoguang then pointed to a place below the waterfall where the water flow was a little slower and the water level was not deep and made some suggestions.
"I see the water is not turbulent there. If we wade across it in a car, it won't flood us. I'll bring the car here later and let the two mules pull it up, and we can cross the river in the car."
Upon hearing this, the couple's eyes lit up and they agreed repeatedly, asking Li Yaoguang to release the car and go over quickly. Li Yaoguang did not delay and took his family to the location he pointed out and released the car. By the way, he also released the mother of the two little ones.
He took out the noose that he had cut in a hurry and handed it to Cheng Su, "Uncle, we ran into Hu Bing ahead and we were in a hurry to escape. I cut the noose in a critical moment. We need it now. Please find a way to fix it. Once it's fixed, we can cross the river."
Cheng Su took it, looked at it and nodded. Seeing Li Yaoguang turning around and pulling the wolf corpse away, Cheng Su hurriedly asked, "Sister Guang, what are you going to do?"
Li Yaoguang pointed at the wolf corpse and replied, "While I have some free time, I will bury the mother of the two little ones and wash them by the water to avoid the strong smell that will pollute the carriage later."
"Oh, oh, oh." So that's how it is. Cheng Su nodded again and waved away, "Then go quickly and be careful."
Yu Meixue, who had just settled her son, shouted to stop when she heard it, and quickly followed her niece, took over the job of digging the hole to bury the body, and pushed Li Yaoguang towards the water.
"Guang'er, your aunt is here to help you. Go and wash yourself. The water is cold in winter, so take it easy and don't catch a cold. Just wash yourself casually."
Seeing that his aunt was determined, Li Yaoguang did not refuse. He reminded her not to run too far and to be careful, then took a hoe and handed it to her.
After watching his aunt walk away with the two little kids who were sobbing and following the wolf's corpse, Li Yaoguang observed for a while and then headed towards the direction of the pool above.
With a quick glance, she found two large black rocks beside the deep pool, which could just block her figure. It would be perfect for her to take a bath there.
As for the water cooling issue, that is also simple.
Li Yaoguang took out the Taiping jar filled with hot water, stripped off his clothes and jumped in. Although the temperature outside was low and it was really cold, but when his skin touched the hot water, it was really warm. Li Yaoguang couldn't help but sigh in comfort.
Knowing that washing for a long time was not advisable, Li Yaoguang took the time to take a quick bath. Of course, he also washed his hair. After all, it was splashed with tiger blood and it was dirty.
After a quick scrub, she changed her clothes shivering, wrapped her hair, and waited until her body was warm. Then Li Yaoguang poured out the dirty water in the Taiping jar, rolled up her sleeves and trouser legs, and scrubbed the Taiping jar inside and out by the pond. Then she waited for the water to flow for a while, and after flushing away the dirty water she had just created, she took out both Taiping jars, and filled the little well water in one jar with a container at home. Then she sank both jars into the pond, and when they were full, she put them back into the space, covered them, and stacked them for storage.
With so much water, she won't use it when she can find it. Even if there is a drought in the future, her family will not lack water for the time being.
After finishing these, Li Yaoguang returned. Her aunt had already buried the mother wolf, and her uncle had also repaired the broken lasso. Li Yaoguang went back and worked with her family to harness the mule cart. After that, the family got on the cart and carried the short BMW to the cart shaft to settle down. Cheng Su raised the whip in his hand and drove the cart carefully into the water. Fortunately, the place Li Yaoguang chose was relatively flat, and there was a BMW on the cart that kept creaking and urging them. The two mules did not give up, and they took them to the other side of the mountain stream smoothly.
Fearing that someone in the car might wake up at any time, Cheng Su asked his family to get off the car as soon as he stepped ashore. He went to get the mule harness, and did not forget to remind his niece to close the carriage quickly.
Li Yaoguang naturally didn't say anything. He nodded and started to work. Soon the family returned to the formation of riding mules. However, when the two little ones were hung in front of their uncle and little cousin, their uncle couldn't help but be moved when he saw the two well-behaved kids.
"Sister Guang, since you've decided to keep them, at least give them a name."
Li Yaoguang had no objection, "Okay, uncle, you go ahead."
"This is not good..." Although he was very tempted, but... "After all, it was their wolf mother who entrusted them to you. How about this, I, your humble uncle, can give this cub a name, and you, Guangjie, can name the other one. This will also be considered as fulfilling their mother's trust."
Li Yaoguang saw his uncle bending over and teasing the two cubs in the two baskets in front of him. He pointed at the yellow-gray cub that kept rubbing his hand and smiled, but gave the aloof little white wolf that had always disdained to pay attention to him to himself, and spoke seriously.
Li Yaoguang also secretly laughed at his uncle's partiality, but he didn't show any objection on his face, "Okay, as long as you are happy, uncle."
Cheng Su was naturally happy. He happily stroked the yellow gray cub again and started muttering to himself.
"Well, this cub is a wolf, not a dog, so it must be given a majestic name, and it must not tarnish its reputation as a wolf. Let me think about it, hmm! Its yellow-gray fur looks majestic, and it will do great things in the future. And it was born in troubled times... Desheng, Guangjie, Meixue, what do you think of calling this wolf cub Desheng?"
"Okay, that's a good name, let's call it Desheng."
Neither her husband nor her niece had any objections, and Yu Meixue had even less objections. Victory is victory.
From then on, the name of the yellow gray boy was decided, Desheng.
His uncle kept saying "victorious" and stroked the victorious wolf's head proudly. Then he pointed at the arrogant cub on the other side and urged Li Yaoguang, "Sister Guang, think of a name for the other one as well, quickly."
Li Yaoguang rubbed his chin and thought hard. In front of Cheng Su, Yang Ge'er, who was itching to play with his father and couldn't reach him, was anxious and suggested in a baby voice, "Cousin, cousin, call me Baibai, Baibai, okay?"
Li Yaoguang: "Bai Bai? Bai Bai means bye bye, no, this name is not grand enough, Yangyang."
"Ah? What is atmosphere?" The little guy was dumbfounded.
Yu Meixue didn't know what Baibai and Baibai meant, but she was happy to cooperate with her niece. "Guang'er, what grand name do you think we should give it?"
Li Yaoguang, who had been thinking hard for a long time, suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind. He then pointed at the little white wolf that was looking at him with its big eyes. "I got it, aunt, uncle and Yangyang, how about we call it Black Whirlwind? Isn't it more elegant?"
Yu Meixue was speechless, Yang Ge'er was confused, and only Cheng Su looked incredulous, "Black, Black Whirlwind?"
"Yeah." Someone raised his neck and asked proudly, "Is it not okay? I think it's very good, very anti-cute, and very generous. Uncle, tell me what's not impressive about this name, right?"
The whole family...what else could Cheng Su say? They all had an expression that said "as long as you are happy".
From then on, the little white wolf officially gained the reputation of the Black Whirlwind. In the days that followed, it made many magical and majestic appearances, and as many people who watched it thought it had a majestic figure, as many people complained about how shocking its name was.
Of course, as for these, Qimingfei said that these are not a big deal.
