Mr. Xu also quickly asked Zhao Jin to sit down. Xu Yunjin still picked up the scissors and cut off Zhao Jin's clothes.
Zhao Jin was probably scratched by a wolf's claw during the melee, and the wound was not very deep.
It's just that Zhao Jin has been pampered since he was a child, and his thin skin and tender flesh make the wounds look a bit scary.
"Uncle Zhao, be careful not to get water on the wound these days, and don't use too much force with your left hand to avoid the wound splitting."
As soon as Xu Yunjin bandaged Zhao Jin's wound, Lin Hu came over. The blood all over his body made Lin Hu look a little oozing.
"Uncle Xu, the wolves in the front have been dealt with. We have counted them. There are eighty-one good wolves. You and the village chief uncle go to the front to see what to do with them?"
When Mr. Xu heard that it was over, he immediately became energetic, shouted to Xu Danian and Chen Sihuailin and walked forward vigorously.
As old hunters, Mr. Xu and Lin Dali insisted on going to the front to kill wolves at first, but they were both stopped.
After all, the two old people are old. If there is any accident, they can't bear it.
Chen Sihuai was injured when he was fighting bandits. Although the wounds had scabbed over, Xu Yunjin found that Chen Sihuai's body was in great depletion. If he did not take good care of himself, his lifespan might be affected.
Therefore, several people were left behind to do logistics. When they heard that the wolves were gone, the old men couldn't sit still and went to take a look. They had never seen so many wolves in their lives.
It was already getting bright at this time, and the sun was expected to rise in two quarters of an hour.
The night was spent peacefully, and all the wolves in the nearby mountains were probably killed by them.
Mr. Xu waited for the men to process the wolf skin and meat, while Mr. Xu Yunjin and Mr. Luo were responsible for counting the wounded.
Most people's injuries were minor, and they would be cured by applying some medicine for two or three days. A few of the wounds that were deep needed some time to recover, but they did not hinder their travels.
By the time everything was done, it was already dawn and all the wolf skins had been peeled off.
The October weather had not yet begun to get cold, and the meat of the eighty-one wolves would not last long without salt, so everyone had no choice but to bury less than half of the wolves.
Pick out all the remaining meat and have a full meal today. Then each family will take a few kilograms to make sure they eat the meat before it spoils.
"Last night, we experienced the most thrilling night since we escaped from the famine. Thanks to my elder brother's premonition and our preparations, we didn't let the wolves succeed. It was also the villagers who united as one to fight against the enemy and killed all these beasts.
Today we will rest here for a day, and we will set off again tomorrow. Tonight we will eat wolf meat and give everyone extra food. As for the wolf skins, Mr. Zhao said that he paid for all the wolf skins. Everyone has money now.
The bag is going to bulge again."
Xu Danian stood on a high place and talked with a loudspeaker until he was frothing. It can be seen that Xu Danian was indeed very happy.
Xu Yunjin felt that Xu Danian was indeed a rare and good village chief.
When the people below heard that they could eat meat and pay for it, their fatigue from the night disappeared, and they all cheered about eating meat and eating meat.
Fortunately, they had been traveling for two days to get rid of the people behind them, so they didn't meet a single refugee at the resting place, otherwise they wouldn't have dared to make such a loud noise.
The big team spent a peaceful day, and everyone felt refreshed when they woke up.
We found a piece of flat ground and set up four large pots. Each family contributed a large bowl of water to blanch the wolf meat easily and cleanly.
The women were walking between the stoves, and the men were chatting in front of them. After a while, the aroma of meat came from the camp.
The people in charge of cooking today are all the most skilled in the villages, not to mention that Mr. Li also got Xu Yunjin’s secret recipe for removing fishy smell.
While cooking, I poured some strong wine into the spoon, picked up a burning firewood, ignited the wine and quickly put it into the pot to stir-fry.
Suddenly Lao Gao's flames burst out in the pot, startling several people around the stove.
"Yulian, what are you doing?"
Mrs. Chen, the village chief's daughter-in-law, was a little curious. She had never heard of this cooking method.
"Auntie, this wolf meat is both woody and tough. The main reason is that it has a strong fishy smell. When cooking, you can get some wine, light it up and stir-fry it in the meat to remove the fishy smell."
This was also the first time that Mrs. Li heard about it. If Xu Yunjin hadn't told her that it was written in a book given by the old god, she would not have dared to try it.
Looking at it now, the old fairy's method is really powerful. It seems that the meat will be much more fragrant after doing it this way.
"Yulian, this method of yours is really good. The meaty flavor comes out immediately. I'm afraid your cooking skills are almost as good as those of the county chefs. We aunties will never accept it."
The Chen ladies were learning crafts and joking at the same time, which made Mrs. Li blush.
Mrs. Zhang is no longer obedient. Her daughter-in-law cannot be molested.
"Go, go, back then, your cooking skills were better than mine, and everyone in the village compared me with you. Now look, I have a daughter-in-law who is better than you. Now I have found a chance to win the game.
It’s over.”
The women around him laughed loudly, and there was a commotion in the kitchen.
Listening to the laughter of the women, the men felt as if they were not on the road to escape from the desert, but still in the village, rising from sunrise to sunset every day, ordinary but happy.
"It's time to eat. Each family will bring the biggest bowl at home. Each family can share a large bowl of meat. If you don't have enough, you can add more."
Grandma Chunhua's voice was loud, and she took over Xu Danian's gong and banged it loudly, attracting everyone's attention.
After a while, each family took the largest bowl, filled it with a big bowl of meat, and left. After eating the meat after returning, they were full of praise for the people who cooked it.
Xu Yunjin originally went for convenience and came back to eat, but he saw Guan Dongyue and several children drinking brown rice porridge.
Xu Yunjin went to the kitchen and found Ms. Zhang. As soon as Ms. Zhang heard her granddaughter's words, she guessed what the children were thinking. She took her own bowl, filled it with a bowl of meat, and took Xu Yunjin outside the children's tent.
Seeing the two Zhangs, Guan Dongyue and Wu Xiuzhu were a little flustered. They wanted to hide the bowls in their hands but had nowhere to hide them. They lowered their heads like children who had made mistakes and were waiting to be punished.
"Dongyue, Xiuzhu, take it. There's a lot of meat here. Even if you eat it with your belly open, there will still be some leftover."
Mrs. Zhang handed the bowl in her hand to Guan Dongyue. Seeing that neither of them reached out, she took Guan Dongyue's hand and placed the bowl in her hand.
"Grandma Xu, we can't have this. We children didn't contribute much last night, so let's keep this meat for our uncles and grandfathers to eat."
Guan Dongyue wanted to refuse, but Zhang pushed her hand back forcefully and scolded the two of them with a straight face.
"You silly boy, what are you talking about? We are all from the same village, and you are not outsiders.
Besides, Grandma Xu didn’t see you running around to help last night. Dongyue, you are still just a few children. You don’t need to be so sensible. We adults are still responsible for anything.
From the day we rescued you and took you on the road, we have regarded you as a member of Nanyun Village. You are not outsiders. You are not allowed to be so polite to the villagers in the future. Come and eat quickly. If you don’t eat, how can you?
My younger brothers and sisters are growing taller, so they need to eat something good."
Zhang's heartfelt words made both of them blush, but they didn't know what to say, so they could only nod their heads.
Looking at the looks of the two of them, Xu Yunjin must have figured it out. She had noticed before that Guan Dongyue and the others seemed to be afraid of troublesome people in the village.
It's not that the two of them are ungrateful, it's just that the two little girls, after going through so much, were finally rescued and left with five children alone.
Along the way, several people were afraid of dragging everyone down, so they behaved well all the time and couldn't blend in.
If it hadn't been for Zhang's explanation today, I'm afraid the two of them would have been entangled for a long time. This chapter has been completed!
