Yu Xiaocao hurriedly pulled away the guards, rushed into the encirclement, hugged Gray Wolf before Zhu Junyang intercepted it, rubbed its thick hair, and asked, "Da Hui, why did you go down the mountain? Is it because there is not enough food on the mountain? It doesn’t matter, my family has a large litter of wild rabbits, and I can share some with you!”
The color of Dahui's fur almost blended with the moonlight, Yu Xiaocao gently stroked its soft fur, the bone protrusions on its back were a little bit harsh. It seems that the food chain at the secret base has also been destroyed. I don't know how Big Hui survived these two months.
Seeing his daughter rushing towards the gray wolf, Yu Hai's heart almost jumped out of his mouth. He hurried forward a few steps, and stopped again when he saw the scene in front of him. Under the moonlight, the little girl snuggled up to the silver-gray wolf, gently stroking the wolf's back. And the wolf was as tame as a domestic dog. At the feet, two little dogs are rolling and playing cute. The picture is as beautiful as a dream.
Yu Xiaocao turned around and saw the worried father, smiled at him comfortingly, and said, "Father, this wolf is very spiritual, I helped it before, and it remembered me, never Attack me. Last time he went up the mountain, he entrusted Xiao Hei Xiao Bai to me!"
Zhu Junyang looked at the silver-gray wolf with great interest, and said, "Is Xiaohei Xiaobai its child? Why doesn't it look like it at all? Could it be the wrong hug?"
Yu Xiaocao laughed and said: "Beasts have a keen sense of smell. If it wasn't for my own children, how could they have put in so much effort? Little Black and Little White's mother died right after giving birth to them, and it was Big Hui who fed them with the blood of their prey. I killed them. When I went into the mountain last time, it gave me two little ones, and asked me to bring them back!"
Yu Hai was still very worried. There were many children in the family. What if the gray wolf became violent and bit the children one day? In his heart, he was very opposed to bringing Gray Wolf back. After thinking about it, Yu Hai said, "Cao'er, have you decided to keep this gray wolf?"
Yu Xiaocao gently stroked the gray wolf's fur, nodded and said: "The wolves are going down the mountain tonight, which means that there is less and less food on the mountain. Dad, I want to raise Big Gray, and when the situation on the mountain improves, we can eat more food." Let it go back to the mountain."
Yu Hai was a little embarrassed, frowned lightly and said, "People come and go in the family, if one day the gray wolf goes berserk and bites someone, it will be difficult to explain."
"No, Big Hui can understand people's words and won't hurt people. Unless this person wants to hurt it or us. It can save you, Dad, with the smell of your body, which proves that Big Hui Not an ordinary wolf!" Yu Xiaocao tried to convince her father. If Big Ash is ignored, it might not be able to escape the fate of being starved to death.
Yu Hai was still hesitating: "But... people in the calamity year can't get enough to eat, but you get a wolf to raise, I'm afraid you will be criticized by the villagers..."
"Okay! What's there to argue about? When the time comes, let's talk about my grandpa's pet, and grandpa likes to buy meat and keep it. Let's see who dares to say anything? Let's go! It's almost dawn, and clean up the wolf's body Be careful to attract other beasts!" Zhu Junyang made a decision immediately when he saw that the two of you were coming and going.
After solving the big gray problem, Yu Xiaocao is in a good mood. After returning home, seeing the wound on Dad's body, he complained distressedly: "Dad, you didn't say anything about your injury, you bled so much... lie down quickly, and I'll sprinkle you with anti-inflammatory and hemostatic powder."
Liu Shi, who was staying in the house with the children, turned on the oil lamp at this time, saw the bloodstains on the man's body from being scratched by the wolf, and said with tears in his eyes: "Why are you so careless? The wound is so deep, why don't you go to the town?" Would you like Dr. Sun to take a look?"
Yu Hai, however, was full of confidence in his daughter's medical skills. He smiled and comforted his wife and said, "It's okay! It's much lighter than Xiong Xiazi's bite last time!! Our daughter's plaster can pull me back from the gate of hell. What is it in her hands? Stop crying and let the children see and laugh at you."
Yu Xiaocao boiled a pot of water with herbs, added a lot of spirit stone liquid, and brought it over in a basin. Seeing her mother wiping her tears, she felt that if she had something to do, she would stop thinking about it. She said to Liu Shi: "Mother, use gauze dipped in the medicine to help dad clean the wound. The wolf's paws are very dirty, and it will not be infected until the wound is washed thoroughly. After the wound is cleaned, sprinkle this medicine powder on the wound .I'll make the ointment."
Mrs. Liu took the water basin, nodded and said: "Well, you should hurry up and make it, so as not to delay your father's use!"
When Mrs. Liu used warm liquid medicine to gently scrub the man's wound, the children gathered around and asked in one go, "Father, does it hurt?"
"Uncle, you are so powerful, you can fight a wolf on par!"
"Mom, why don't I help dad wash the wound?"
"Uncle, have all the wolves been wiped out?"
"Uncle, is wolf meat delicious?"
"Dad, I'll go outside and see if I can help..."
Yu Xiaocao came over with a mortar for pounding medicine, and yelled softly at a group of chattering guys: "Shut up! Dad must have lost a lot of blood, it must be very uncomfortable, please let him lie down quietly for a while."
Seeing that her mother would not let her help, Yu Xiaolian said, "I'll kill a young hen and cook it for Dad. After the wound is healed, I'll drink some chicken soup to nourish my body."
"Take some angelica and goji berry from my medicine box and cook it together, it will nourish the blood better!" Yu Xiaocao put some spirit stone liquid into the herbal medicine and pounded it vigorously. Hearing what Xiaolian said, she hurriedly reminded her.
Yu Hang and Liu Junping are considered half of the labor force at home. Seeing that the wolf's corpse was being disposed of outside, they rushed over to help. The wolf skins were stripped off, and some relatively complete ones were selected. When Yu Hai's wound was almost healed, he would put on a wolf skin mattress in winter to keep him warm and comfortable. Wolf meat is stored in the ice cellar and can be eaten for a long time!
There were two guards outside who were accidentally scratched by the wolf's paws, so Liu Yan'er brought a pot of medicine and asked them to wash the wounds.
Xiao Shitou and Liu Fangping, two seven-year-old friends, couldn't help much, so they stayed in the room, quietly watching Liu Shi help Yu Hai clean the wound, and asked from time to time, "Does it hurt?"
I don't know if it's the numbness of the pain or some other reason, but when the liquid medicine was on the wound, Yu Hai didn't feel any tingling pain at all. After a while, there was a faint cooling sensation spreading from the wound. The dizziness originally caused by blood loss disappeared instantly.
Liu's cleaning was very meticulous, and her movements were very gentle, for fear of hurting the man. When the wound was washed, Yu Hai felt that he was about to fall asleep. When the powder is applied, there is a bit of a tingling sensation. But when the black ointment was applied, the tingling sensation disappeared again, replaced by a burst of coolness and comfort from the wound.
The remaining ointment was applied to the two injured guards. The two guards were not seriously injured, they were all insignificant skin injuries.
More than thirty wolves' corpses were cleaned up by a dozen guards for a long time, and they hadn't finished cleaning up until dawn. The Zhou family next door carefully opened the door just after dawn, and no danger was found, so the men of the Zhou family copied the guy and brought their son over to inquire about the news. Last night, Zhou's family also stayed up all night when they heard the movement from Yu's family not far away.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a yard of dead wolves. Zhou Danian was dumbfounded and couldn't believe his eyes. After entering the room and inquiring about Yu Hai's injuries, the two of them also joined the ranks of picking up the wolf's corpse. When Fang heard that Yu Hai was injured, she brought a chicken and a basket of eggs to visit.
There are still a lot of locusts now, and the chickens of the Zhou family are all free-range near the house, so there is basically no need for food. It is estimated that in winter, the Zhou family will not be able to feed so many chickens, and most of them will be disposed of.
After dawn, the news that Yu's old house was attacked by wolves spread throughout Dongshan Village. The village head brought several families in the village who had a good relationship with the Yu family to come to condolences, and they were shocked to see the wolf carcasses that had been skinned and were being skinned in the yard.
Wolf meat is slightly thicker than dog meat, but it still tastes good if cooked well. Yu Hai, who had applied ointment and gauze, felt a little headache when he saw the corpses of more than thirty wolves. If you eat too much wolf meat, you will get tired, okay? With so many wolves, they will not be able to eat them all until next spring!
After inquiring about the county prince, he learned that these wolf corpses were handled by the Yu family. After discussing with his family, Yu Hai decided to donate 20 wolf carcasses for the village chief to distribute to every household in the village. Although these wolves are a little thinner, each wolf can cut at least thirty catties of meat. In this way, each family can share nearly 20 catties of wolf meat!
Under the double blow of locust plague and drought, the villagers in Dongshan Village don't have enough money to buy food, so how can they be willing to buy meat? Therefore, when the village chief rang the bronze bell in the village and every household gathered in the field in front of the village chief's gate, they saw the skinned wolf carcasses, and their eyes turned red. Knowing that it was the Yu family who selflessly donated the wolf meat, the villagers' gratitude and respect for Yu Hai increased to a new level.
When the Qian family returned home from their natal home in the morning, they saw the damaged wooden door and the mess in the backyard. Mao felt sorry for the dozen or so ducks he had killed and eaten. Fortunately, most of the ducks escaped to the pond in the afternoon and survived. When she saw the dead bodies of four wolves in the traps around her yard, the pain in her heart eased slightly. The wolf meat can't be eaten up, so it can be sold to some restaurants in the town, and it can also make up for some losses of the family.
Knowing that the Yu family had wiped out nearly 30 wolves at once, Qian Fugui and Mao were both grateful and terrified. If it wasn't the decision to go to Mao's mother's house every night, it would be that their family was under the attack of more than thirty wolves. Their family didn't have more than a dozen guards to help them. After the wooden door was breached, the consequences can be imagined!
After expressing concern and condolences to the Yu family, Qian Fugui packed up the corpses of the four wolves. Two pieces of relatively intact leather were brought back to the old man's house, and the meat of two wolves was brought to my mother's house. Mao's parents and elder brother listened to their daughter and son-in-law's story of the adventure last night, so they insisted on keeping them at home for a few more nights. During the day, the Maos went back to release the ducks, and then rushed back to their mother's house in the evening. Although there is suffering from running around, it is nothing compared to the possibility of being attacked by ferocious beasts.
