Since they couldn’t keep it as a pet, they decided to let it live in the wild, just checking on it from time to time.
If they could get familiar with the Pallas’s cat mother, maybe they could even pet the little Pallas’s cat.
She then talked about how she encountered the herd of horses.
The three of them listened in amazement.
Yu Wei: “Your experiences are quite rich even by our standards.”
But he found it hard to believe that the little girl could kill a wolf.
Maybe that wolf was already injured.
However, he soon realized that Song Wei wasn’t lying.
That day, Song Wei rode her big black horse, carrying some prey’s entrails to visit the Pallas’s cat family.
The Pallas’s cat mother was there, and after a glance, she ignored Song Wei.
Because Song Wei had been coming every day recently, and she never came empty-handed.
Sometimes she brought a groundhog, the inedible marmot, and sometimes she brought the entrails of pikas.
In any case, she always brought gifts.
At first, the Pallas’s cat mother wouldn’t let her get close.
But once, the Pallas’s cat mother was in danger, surrounded by steppe wolves while hunting.
Coincidentally, Song Wei saw it and rescued her.
However, the Pallas’s cat mother got injured and lost her prey.
After returning, both she and her cubs were hungry, and from then on, she started accepting Song Wei’s offerings.
It was free food, after all.
Now, the four little Pallas’s cats had become familiar with Song Wei.
Today was even more surprising, as she brought a marmot and the entrails of a pika she caught that morning.
The Pallas’s cat mother was sunbathing on a rock to heal her wounds, and the four little ones, probably familiar with her by now, actually ran straight towards her.
Most importantly, the Pallas’s cat mother didn’t stop them.
While the four little ones were tearing at the prey with their “aoow aoow” sounds, Song Wei finally got to touch the Pallas’s cat she had been longing for, even if it was just the tip of its tail.
“The fur is so thick.”
But the fluffy touch was really comfortable.
Of course, the little ones were eating, so Song Wei didn’t disturb them too much. Domestic animals can be protective of their food, let alone wild ones.
After they finished eating, Song Wei found a clean spot to sit cross-legged, taking out her camera to photograph the four playful little ones.
The Pallas’s cat’s call is similar to a cat’s, just not as delicate.
The Pallas’s cat mother sat on the rock, her fluffy tail curled in front, resting on her paws.
So cute~
While the little Pallas’s cats were playing, one of them rolled over to Song Wei.
Song Wei took the chance to stroke the little one from head to tail before it could react.
Little Pallas’s cat: ???
What just happened?
A few seconds passed, and the little one still hadn’t reacted, its round eyes wide open, mouth slightly agape, looking utterly dumbfounded, as if the whole scene had frozen.
Song Wei burst out laughing.
She stroked the little Pallas’s cat’s fluffy tail again.
“Meow ow!”
The little Pallas’s cat finally reacted, rolled over, and ran back.
The four little Pallas’s cats piled up one after another, their four pairs of round eyes all looking at Song Wei.
Not to mention, their little faces are quite imposing among felines, but they somehow give off an air of not being very smart at first glance.
“Meow ow~”
Soon, seeing that Song Wei wasn’t reacting, the four little Pallas’s cats started playing again.
Then they rolled over to Song Wei to be stroked again.
After another moment of existential crisis, they quickly started playing again.
Later, when Song Wei touched them, they just twitched their ears and didn’t dodge.
Song Wei: So happy~
After stroking all four little Pallas’s cats, Song Wei bid them farewell and left.
Riding her big black horse, she planned to check out where the others were herding.
This trip led her to encounter a unlucky fellow whose cattle and sheep had run into a wolf pack.
“Bang!”
The sound of a hunting rifle echoed, accompanied by wolf howls.
By the time Song Wei arrived, the humans and wolves were already fighting.
Local dogs were also biting at the wolves, but clearly, the wolves had the upper hand.
The horses, intimidated by the wolf pack, were restless and moving around, only kept from running away by the herders.
“Bang!”
Another shot.
This time, there were quite a few wolves, and they were outnumbered. Plus, it took time to reload the hunting rifles each time.
“Old He, be careful!”
Seeing a fifty-year-old man about to be bitten by a wolf, Song Wei urged her big black horse to speed over.
The old man was knocked down, his mind blank.
He thought his life was going to end here, with the wolf’s teeth about to sink into his neck, when a stone flew over and shattered the wolf’s skull.
The dead wolf fell on the old man, motionless.
Song Wei charged into the fray, and one of the wolves leaped at her.
Song Wei didn’t hold back, pulling back her fist and smashing it down hard.
The gray wolf let out a howl and fell to the ground, quickly silent.
Yu Wei, who happened to witness this, gasped in shock.
So his niece wasn’t joking or boasting when she said she had fought wolves before!
Wolves are vengeful creatures, and seeing Song Wei kill two of their pack members as soon as she arrived, several of them started to gather around her.
Neither the black horse nor Song Wei were afraid, and they cooperated well.
The horse kicked the wolves on the ground, and Song Wei smashed those that leaped.
More and more wolves around Song Wei fell dead, and suddenly the alpha wolf howled to the sky.
All the wolves quickly retreated.
The herders breathed a sigh of relief, but their expressions were grave.
“Wolves hold grudges. They’ve definitely caught our scent. If we don’t kill them all, they might come back.”
Yu Wei and the others approached Song Wei.
“Niece, are you hurt?”
Song Wei shook her head: “You should tend to your wounds.”
“Niece, you’re really something. How do you manage to kill a wolf with one punch?”
Yu Wei stared at her hands, small like those of a city lady, seemingly not suited for heavy labor.
But it was precisely these small hands, with fists no bigger than half of theirs, that could kill a wolf with one punch.
Song Wei honestly replied: “I’m a bit strong.”
Yu Wei and the others: That’s not a bit strong, that’s incredibly strong.
What normal person can kill a wolf with one punch?
The man named Old He also came over to thank Song Wei excitedly.
But Song Wei didn’t quite understand what he was saying.
Old He was truly unlucky.
Old He was from the Nankang brigade, and he never expected to run into a wolf pack while herding this time.
Two sheep were killed by the wolves, one was carried away as the wolves retreated, three were injured, and the rest of the sheep were scared off and needed to be found quickly.
Song Wei also helped to look for the scattered cattle and sheep.
The dogs, having fought the wolves head-on, were severely injured. Two dogs died, and the others couldn’t move, so they had to search on their own.
In the end, most were found, but three sheep were still missing.
The losses this time were heavy.
Fortunately, Old He was from the Nankang brigade, and encountering such an event was unavoidable. He will not be punished if he explains it clearly to the brigade leader.
