The kids carried fantasies of a five-tiered cake as they happily went for their final mountain patrol.
The patrol that day was essentially uneventful, with the only peculiar occurrence being an occasional wolf appearing from the nearby bushes after their patrol.
Initially, everyone except Tuanzi and Duan Xiayou was a bit worried and afraid, fearing that these wolves might hold a grudge against all humans because of yesterday's events and might attack them without warning.
But very soon, they realized that these wolves were simply silently following them—or rather, protecting them.
The wolves not only showed no signs of aggression, but would all howl together when the patrol team accidentally encountered large wild animals.
As team players, they were like half kings of this mountain, and when they howled, those wild animals would leave the mountain patrol guests' path.
Tuanzi couldn't help but mimic them, lifting her little head and calling out, "Ahoo!"
