After graduating from college, I managed to fall in love, so much so that I couldn’t live or breathe without her, and she fell in love with me too. But the only catch was that my beloved was married. And not just married, but to a very large- scale official. And he was also an angry and vengeful person. And my beloved and I decided to escape from the city somewhere far away. What they were in, as they say, is what they left in, wherever they looked.
And the road led us to these most remote, taiga places. And I got a job in place of the huntsman who disappeared in the taiga . By the way, it was a mysterious case; it is still unknown what happened to him. We settled in the house of that same former huntsman in the taiga, a few kilometers from the village. Moving to such a wilderness was a conscious step for us . My beloved and I were looking for solitude. They began to settle down and enjoy life with each other.
Gradually, relations with the local residents improved, and they stopped considering us as strangers. Although I was unsociable, I knew my work well and did it conscientiously, I didn’t let anyone down, all the villagers understood that there must be order in the taiga and supported me in my difficult task. I had to deal with poachers and rebuff overly arrogant government officials, otherwise they think that everything is allowed to them. So two years have passed since we fled the city. One day I brought a wounded wolf cub into our hut and instructed my wife to treat and nurse him.
The wolf cub’s mother was killed by poachers and without human help he would have died. My Lyubasha replaced the baby’s mother, literally pulled him out of the other world. She put him on his feet, fed him from a bottle with a pacifier, did not sleep at night, sat next to him. The wolf grew up, got stronger and went into the taiga without even saying goodbye. And about a year after that, I went on a walk around in a large circle, which means for 3-4 days. Lyubasha stayed on the farm, she was no stranger to it. And just at this very time her ex-hubby came to the hut .
It turned out that he had been looking for us ever since we left . There wasn’t a day when he did n’t think about revenge. It took him three years to figure out where we were. After all, we didn’t even tell our parents anything about ourselves. He probably watched us for a long time and waited for the right moment. And he waited until I finally left home. From a strong blow to the head with a blunt object, Lyuba lost consciousness. When I woke up, it was already evening.
She was lying in the taiga, but in what place, she could not understand. Most likely, somewhere far from our hut. His arms and legs were tightly tied behind his back, his mouth was gagged with some kind of rag, so much so that there was no way to scream or move . In such a state, a person is unlikely to last long. Also, wild animals will quickly do their job, and you won’t find any ends. That, apparently, was what the bastard had in mind. So it was certain death.
My arms and legs became numb, my body became wooden. Suddenly, through the remnants of consciousness, Lyuba felt hot breath. Someone was clearly sniffing her. She turned her head with difficulty and saw burning eyes in the darkness. It’s a wolf! There was no doubt. Well, that’s all, flashed through her head. But then something incredible happened. The wolf did not try to kill her at all, but quite the opposite. He began to chew on the ropes on her wrists. At first Lyuba could not believe what was happening, but then she remembered the wolf cub for whom she had once replaced the mother.
That’s who came to her aid in difficult times. He did not calm down until he finally chewed through the rope. When Lyuba was finally freed. The wolf came so close to her that she was able to hug him and began to cry, burying her face in his thick fur. Having made sure that everything was fine with her , the wolf again disappeared into the taiga, but this time forever. When dawn broke, Lyubasha was able to get to the hut, and then to the village.
There she told the district police officer everything, and a criminal case was opened , but it had to be quickly closed because the hunters soon found the torn body of the villain in the taiga. The conclusion of the investigation was this: the man was killed by a wolf. After the death of the scoundrel, Lyuba officially became a widow, and we were finally able to formalize our relationship with her.
But they didn’t want to return to the city to the people anymore . We bought a house in the village, I continued to work in the taiga, and Lyuba gave birth to three sons.
