Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Triumph of Sadness
Looking at the wolf who was about to lose his life because he saved us, all of us couldn't help but feel heavy.
My mind has always been as sinister, cunning, and murderous animals, but now that my image has changed dramatically, I think we humans may be more cold-blooded than them.
At some point, in order to ensure our own safety and interests, we will not even help acquaintances, let alone strangers, and we will fight for our lives. At the moment of life and death, I was even wandering, almost running away with everyone, and now that I think about it, I am extremely ashamed.
Anyway, we still won this battle of life and death, and in order to relieve everyone's tension and sadness, the fat brother borrowed my knife to divide our spoils. A large bear's paw was cut off for dinner for the five of us. The fat brother also cut the flesh of the other parts of the bear, and let the wolves eat it like his own dogs.
Originally, I thought that the wolves would rush up and grab to bite the bear meat, but I didn't expect this group of wolves to stand in a row like gentlemen, and only the head wolf stepped forward to bite the bear meat alone.
Although those wolves had desire in their eyes and were eager to try, they couldn't help but rush over, and still stayed where they were, constantly stepping in place, and looking very funny in a hurry.
When the head wolf tore the bear meat into several pieces of meat of more than ten catties, he let out a short cry and asked the other wolves to come over to receive the meal.
One by one, they couldn't hold it back, and when they heard this cry, they all ran to the head wolf as fast as they could, and when they got to the head wolf, they lined up again, and the head wolf took a piece of meat in front of him, and a wolf came forward to lead it, and then ran away like a flower, holding it down with its two front paws, and gnawing on the meat.
When all the wolves had finished receiving the meat, the first wolf tore off the bear's liver, trotted to the wolf who was lying on the ground, put the liver where the wolf's mouth could bite, and went back to eat its portion.
The wolf lying on the ground, when he opened his eyes and saw the food, symbolically licked it with his tongue and bit it a few more times, but he could not eat it at all, so he could only continue to taste the taste with his tongue.
Seeing this, I was first amazed at the wolves' superior self-discipline like a disciplined army, and then I felt a strong bitterness at the scene where there was food but could not swallow it, and I felt extremely resentful of the cruelty of nature.
I picked up my knife and walked over to the wolf.
The fat brother shouted anxiously behind him: "Zhanxiao, you have to calm down, you have to kill it, other wolves will attack you." ”
Yan Qiu stopped the fat brother and said, "Forget it, you don't care about him, it's better to give that wolf a good time than to suffer like this." ”
As soon as I approached the wolf, the other wolves immediately stopped eating, and instead raised their heads and stared at me, watching for what I was doing.
I crouched down next to the wolf, cut the large piece of bear liver into small pieces with a knife, and fed it to the wolf with my hand.
When they saw me like this, the other wolves lowered their heads again, and continued to eat their own, and looked at me no more.
The wolf barely ate some and closed his eyes again before I got up and went back to the others.
Yan Qiu saw me go back and said to me, "I thought you wanted to cut it off, you were really interesting, you went to cut meat for others to eat." ”
While wiping the scimitar, I said to Yan Qiu: "You pull it down, I have difficulty even killing chickens, you let me kill wolves?" If it weren't for the danger, I wouldn't have dared to fight that bear. ”
Su Rina said: "I really regret it, I knew that I brought the gun here, and if I encounter danger in the future, I am afraid that I will not have such good luck." ”
The fat brother hurriedly said: "Bah, you have less crow's mouth, if you encounter this again, let's accept our fate and contribute the rest of our lives to the protection of wild animals." ”
After tossing for a long time, I was really hungry, I looked around, except for the stripped fur and the bonfire that had just been lit, there was no shadow of the bear's paw, I stared at the others and asked, "Where are the bear's paws?" After a while, you're all done? Didn't leave me at all? ”
Jiang Li smiled and told me: "How can it be so fast? The bear's paw is in the fire. ”
After careful questioning, I realized that Jiang Li cooked bear paws, originally using the method of Dai Qin's previous method of making called flower chicken, she said that bear paws cannot be roasted and eaten, they must be stewed, and if there is honey smeared on the bear paws, it will be even more delicious.
I have long heard that bear paws are a delicacy in the world, although I live a rich life, I have never eaten them, and this time I hunted the bear with my own hands, and the bear paw must have a different flavor to eat.
The fat brother, as usual, described the deliciousness of the bear's paw vividly.
Actually, I knew he hadn't eaten it either, but when he said that, I couldn't wait even more, and the saliva in my mouth almost came out.
After asking dozens of times whether it was ripe or not, Jiang Li was finally annoyed by me and took out the bear's paw.
This bear's paw is extraordinarily large, and we each got a large piece of it, which we put in the lunch box and ate it with our hands.
In fact, the taste is not very good, slightly mountainous, and there is almost no taste other than salt. But the taste is really good, the bite feels like beef tendon and pig's trotters, it is very tough, and the muscles inside are more energetic to eat.
Everyone else said it wasn't as delicious as they thought, but it was better than eating fruit.
Jiang Li explained to everyone, she said that this bear paw should be left for a year, dried and then cooked to be delicious.
As I ate, I asked, "What is the ingredient of this bear's paw?" Why does it taste like beef tendon? ”
Jiang Li told me: "Half of the bear's paw is protein, half is fat, and the nutrients are still relatively rich." In winter, hibernating bears wake up hungry from their burrows, and they can replenish their bodies by licking their paws. ”
I was just about to praise Jiang Li for knowing more, when I suddenly felt that my mouth couldn't open, so I hurriedly asked others for help, only to find that everyone's mouths were glued and couldn't be opened at all, and the fingers of the hand that grabbed the bear's paw to eat were also glued, just like the bear's paw, it became a whole, and the five fingers couldn't be separated.
It took more than an hour to make bear's paws, ten minutes to eat bear's paws, and half an hour to clean the sticky mouths and hands by the river.
After reopening their mouths, everyone had such a unified attitude for the first time, and they all said that they would never eat this thing again in the future.
After eating enough, I was left to sleep, seeing that the sky was about to get dark, I was delayed in the morning at the big stone gate, and in the afternoon, in addition to hurrying and entangled with the big bear for a long time, I didn't notice that the day was gradually approaching the evening, and the night was coming soon.
It was not possible to sleep by the river, not only was the ground wet, but the water was noisy, so we either crossed the river into the grass or went back to sleep in the ancient battlefield.
Jiang Li said: "Let's go forward, there is such a bear in the grass, there should be no more animals within a radius of a few miles, and it is safe in the grass." ”
The wolves brought us here, and they must want us to move forward, and our main task at the moment is to figure out the purpose of the wolves. After a brief discussion, we crossed the river and walked towards the grass.
Seeing us move, the wolves began to act as well, and instead of following us immediately, they re-surrounded the wolf. I thought they were going to say their last goodbye, but I didn't expect the wolf to use his head to push the wolf lying on the ground.
We unconsciously stopped.
I asked Jiang Li, "Do you know this?" What is the wolf doing? ”
Jiang Li shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, let's take a look." ”
After watching it for a while, we realized that with the help of the other wolves, the first wolf actually carried the injured one on his back.
In an instant, everyone was shocked, but they didn't expect that the affection and righteousness of this group of wolves were completely beyond the scope of our understanding of animals, and they actually had to go with their comrades, not abandoning or giving up, which was so vividly reflected in the wolves.
Everyone immediately burst into tears, not knowing if they were more sad at this time, or if they were completely moved by this behavior of the wolves.
The fat brother wiped his tears, quickly returned to the other side of the river, ran to the head wolf, and without saying a word, picked up the two front legs of the injured wolf, carried them behind him, and left.
A few of us also hurriedly stepped forward to help, holding the wolf below to help the fat brother reduce the burden.
The wolves immediately dispersed, keeping a distance from us, forming a large circle, guarding around us, moving forward together.
Not long after walking, the fat brother in front stopped, put the injured wolf on the ground again, and said to us regretfully: "It's stiff, it's no fun." ”
Originally, it was lying there and not moving, and it could live a little longer, but now such a toss must have hastened its death, but in order to satisfy the psychology of our companions who refused to give up on it, we can only help here.
The other wolves also gathered around from all sides, and when they saw their companions dead, they let out a long howl, and the cry was desolate and resentful, and it reached far into the sky. Drilling into the ears of each of us, it is a heart-digging sadness. R1058
