Chapter 302: Aftermath
Yu Xiaocao hurriedly pulled away the guards, rushed into the encirclement, hugged the gray wolf before Zhu Junyang intercepted it, rubbed its thick hair, and asked, "Big Ash, why did you go down the mountain?" Is there not enough food in the mountains? It's okay, I have a big nest of hares at home, I can share some with you! ”
The color of the big gray coat almost blended with the moonlight, and Yu Xiaocao gently stroked its soft fur, and the bones on its back protruded a little awkwardly. It seems that the food chain in the secret base has also been destroyed, and I don't know how the big gray came back to life in the past two months.
Yu Hai saw his daughter rushing towards the gray wolf, and his heart almost jumped out of his mouth. He hurriedly took a few steps forward, and stopped when he saw the scene in front of him. Under the moonlight, the little girl snuggled up to the silver-gray wolf and gently stroked the wolf's back. And the wolf was tamed like a domestic dog. At his feet, two small dogs rolled and sold cuteness. The picture is as beautiful as a dream.
As soon as Yu Xiaocao turned around, she saw her worried father, smiled at him comfortingly, and said, "Dad, this wolf is very spiritual, I helped it before, and it remembered me and never attacked me." The last time I went up the mountain, he also entrusted me with Xiao Hei Xiaobai! ”
Zhu Junyang looked at the silver-gray wolf with interest and said, "Little Black and Little White are its children?" Why doesn't it look like it at all? It can't be a mistake, right? ”
Yu Xiaocao said funny: "Beasts have a sensitive sense of smell, if it weren't for their own children, where would they put so much effort?" Little Black and White died as soon as they gave birth, and it was Big Gray who fed them with the blood of her prey. The last time I went into the mountains, it took two little ones in my mouth and asked me to bring them back! ”
Yu Hai is still very worried, there are many children at home, what if this gray wolf gets a wolf one day and bites the children? He was very opposed to bringing the gray wolf back. After thinking about it, Yu Hai said: "Cao'er, have you decided to take in this gray wolf?" ”
Yu Xiaocao gently stroked the gray wolf's fur, nodded and said, "The wolves came down the mountain tonight, which means that there is less and less food available on the mountain." Dad, I want to keep the big ash and wait for the situation on the mountain to get better, and then let it go back to the mountain. ”
Yu Hai was a little embarrassed, frowned lightly and said: "There are people in the family, in case this gray wolf goes crazy one day and bites someone, it will be difficult to explain." ”
"No, Big Ash can understand people's speech and won't hurt people. Unless the person wants to hurt it or us. It can save you with the smell on your body, which is enough to prove that Big Gray is not an ordinary wolf! Yu Xiaocao tried to convince his father. If it hadn't been left alone, it might have starved to death.
Yu Hai was still hesitating: "But...... People can't eat enough in the disaster year, but if you get a wolf to raise it, I'm afraid that the villagers will talk about it......"
"That's it! What's there to fight about? When the time comes, I will say that my grandfather is a pet in uniform, and my lord loves to buy meat and raise it, see who dares to say anything? Let's go! It's almost dawn, pack up the wolf's carcass, and be careful to attract other beasts! Zhu Junyang saw that the two of you were going back and forth, so he immediately made a decision.
After solving the problem of big ash, Yu Xiaocao was in a good mood. When I got home, I saw the wound on my father's body, and complained distressedly: "Dad, why don't you say anything about your injury, you have lost so much blood...... Lie down, I'll sprinkle you with anti-inflammatory and hemostatic powder. ”
Liu, who was staying in the house with the children, turned on the oil lamp at this time, and saw a few blood marks on the man's body that was caught by the head wolf, and said with hazy tears in his eyes: "Why are you so careless?" The wound is so deep, why don't you go to the town and ask Dr. Sun to take a look? ”
Yu Hai was full of confidence in his daughter's medical skills, and he smiled and comforted his daughter-in-law: "It's okay! Much lighter than the last time the bear blind bit it!! Our daughter's plaster can pull me back from the ghost gate, what is this injury in her hands? Stop crying and let the kids see the joke on you. ”
Yu Xiaocao boiled a pot of water with herbs, added a lot of spirit stone liquid to it, and brought it in a basin. Seeing that my mother was wiping her tears, I felt that if she had something to do, she wouldn't be cranky. She said to Liu: "Mother, you use gauze dipped in potion to help your father clean his wounds." The wolf's claws are dirty, and they will not be infected until they are washed thoroughly. After the wound is cleaned, sprinkle the powder on the wound. I went to dispense the ointment. ”
Liu Shi took the basin, nodded and said, "Well, you hurry up and match it, so as not to delay your father's use!" ”
When Liu gently scrubbed the man's wound with a warm potion, the children all gathered around and asked, "Dad, does it hurt?" ”
"Uncle, you are so powerful, you can fight with the first wolf!"
"Mother, why don't I come and help my father wash his wounds?"
"Uncle, have the wolves been wiped out?"
"Uncle, is the wolf meat delicious?"
"Dad, I'll go outside and see if I can help......"
Yu Xiaocao came over with a mortar, and shouted at a group of chattering guys: "Shut up for me!" Daddy must have lost a lot of blood, it must be very uncomfortable, you let him lie quietly for a while. ”
Yu Xiaolian saw that her mother didn't let her help, so she said: "I'll kill a little hen and stew it for my father, and when the wound is treated, drink some chicken soup to replenish my body." ”
"Take some angelica from my medicine box and cook it with wolfberries, the blood tonic effect is better!" Yu Xiaocao put some spirit stone liquid into the herb and pounded it vigorously. Hearing Xiaolian say this, she hurriedly reminded her.
Yu Hang and Liu Junping were also half of the labor force at home, and when they saw that the wolf's corpse was being disposed of outside, they also rushed over to help. The wolf skin was stripped off, and some relatively intact ones were selected, and when Yu Hai's wound was almost healed, the wolf skin mattress was laid out in the winter, which was warm and comfortable. Wolf meat is stored in an ice cellar and can be eaten for a long time!
There were two guards outside, who were also accidentally scratched by the wolf's paws, so Liu Yan'er brought a basin of potion and asked them to clean their wounds.
Xiao Shi and Liu Fangping, two little pot friends about seven years old, couldn't help much, so they stayed in the house, quietly watching Liu help Yu Hai clean his wounds, and asked from time to time, "Does it hurt?" ”
I don't know if it was because of the pain and numbness or what the reason was, when the potion was stained with the wound, Yu Hai didn't feel any stinging pain at all. After a while, there was a faint feeling of coolness that spread from the wound. The dizziness caused by blood loss disappeared in an instant.
Liu's cleaning was very meticulous, and his movements were very light, for fear of hurting the man. When the wound was washed, Yu Hai felt like he was about to fall asleep. When I applied the powder, it was a little tingling. However, when the black ointment was applied, the stinging sensation disappeared again, and was replaced by a burst of coolness and comfort from the wound.
The rest of the ointment was applied to the two wounded guards. The two guards were not badly wounded, they were inconsequential skin wounds.
The corpses of more than thirty wolves, more than a dozen guards cleaned up for a long time, and they were not finished by dawn. The Zhou family next door cautiously opened the door at dawn, and found no danger, so the man of the Zhou family copied the guy and brought his son over to inquire about the news. Last night, hearing the movement from the Yu family not far away, the Zhou family also stayed awake all night.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a courtyard of wolf corpses, Zhou Danian was dumbfounded, and he couldn't believe his eyes. entered the house and inquired about Yu Hai's injuries, and the two of them also threw themselves into the ranks of cleaning up the wolf corpse. When Fang heard that Yu Hai was injured, he brought a chicken and a basket of eggs to visit.
There are still a lot of locusts, and the chickens of the Zhou family are also free-range near their homes, so they basically don't need to take food or anything. It is estimated that by winter, the Zhou family will not be able to feed so many chickens, and most of them will have to be disposed of.
After dawn, the news that the Yu family's old house was attacked by wolves spread throughout Dongshan Village. The village chief brought several families in the village who had a good relationship with the Yu family to come over to condole, and they were all stunned to see the wolf corpses that had been skinned and were being skinned in the yard.
Wolf meat is slightly coarser than dog meat, and if cooked well, it still tastes good. Yu Hai, who was covered in ointment and gauze, had a headache when he saw the corpses of more than 30 wolves. If you eat too much wolf meat, you'll get tired, okay? There are so many wolves, I won't be able to eat them until the beginning of spring next year!
asked the prince of the county and learned that these wolf corpses were disposed of by the Yu family. Yu Hai discussed with his family and decided to donate 20 wolf corpses to the village chief to distribute to every household in the village. Although these wolves have lost a little weight, each wolf can cut at least thirty pounds of meat. In this way, each family can almost share nearly 20 catties of wolf meat!
Under the double blow of locust plague and drought, the money in the hands of the villagers of Dongshan Village is not enough to buy food, so how can they be willing to buy meat to eat? Therefore, when the village chief rang the bronze bell in the village, and every household gathered on the field in front of the village chief's door, they saw the skin of the wolf corpses, and their eyes were red. Knowing that it was the Yu family who selflessly donated wolf meat, the villagers' gratitude and respect for Yu Hai went to another level.
When the Qian family returned home from their home in the morning, they saw the broken wooden door and the mess in the backyard. Mao felt sorry for the dozen ducks he had bitten to death and eaten. Fortunately, most of the ducks escaped to the pond in the afternoon and survived. When she saw the corpses of the four wolves in the traps around her yard, the pain in her heart lessened slightly. These wolf meat can't be eaten, so they can be sold to some restaurants in the town, and they can also make up for some of their own losses.
Knowing that the Yu family had eliminated nearly thirty wolves at once, Qian Fugui and the Mao family were both happy and afraid. If it weren't for the decision to go to Mao's mother's house every night, it would be their family to withstand the attack of these more than 30 wolves. There were no more than a dozen guards in their house to help, and after the wooden door was breached, the consequences could be imagined!
After expressing his concern and condolences to the Yu family, Qian Fugui packed up the corpses of the four wolves. Two relatively intact skins were brought back to the father-in-law's house, and the meat of two wolves was brought to the foreign family. Mao's parents and brother listened to their daughter and son-in-law tell about the thrill of last night, so they insisted on leaving them at home for a few more nights. During the day, the Mao couple went back to herd the ducks, and then rushed back to their parents' house in the evening. Although there is the pain of running around, it is nothing compared to the possibility of being attacked by fierce beasts.
