Chapter 112: Dividing the Wolf Meat (One More)

said, "It's not difficult at all, it's just good luck. Hehe, I happened to come across them. There are still quite a few in the mountains, it's just a pity that they aren't ripe yet, I have to wait a...In a simple straw hut, Doctor Jiao knelt on the ground, bandaging the villager's injured arm. He carefully checked other areas and found nothing else amiss. He gestured for him to get up and leave.

The opponent was still covered in blood, both wolf and his own. At this moment, he didn't feel embarrassed at all, but rather a kind of heroic joy. He had just treated his wounds without a sound, boasting to himself that after this battle with the wolves, he had seen the world and wouldn't be afraid when going out anymore.

Village Head Xu came to find Doctor Jiao, and upon seeing him, instructed, "Quickly drink this bowl of medicine. After you finish, lie down and rest for a while. Don't try to do anything else."

The other party was still trying to flatter Doctor Jiao when they were caught by Xu Village Head's glare. They quickly ran away, giggling nervously. Behind them, Xu Village Head said in an annoyed tone, "Slow down! Don't get bitten by a wolf and go stupid. And don't trip and hurt yourself again."

Dr. Jiao walked out of the straw hut, wiping the blood from his hands with a ragged cloth. He looked exhausted and said, "I've finally finished dealing with it all. I'm lucky to be alive."

Village head Xu hurriedly thanked him, saying nice things.

Dr. Jiao waved his hand, "An old man like me is also a person from Xujia Village. It's nothing to lend a helping hand. Besides, killing those wolves is to protect everyone, including myself."

When the village head heard this, he put away his polite words. He said too much, and it would be inappropriate. Since they were all on the road fleeing together, it was best to share weal and woe. Therefore, he didn't mention the payment for medicine anymore, but only asked about the villagers' injuries, whether there would be any future danger, or if there would be any aftereffects.

Doctor Jiao said, "Those youngsters are lucky. Although they have a lot of blood flowing from their wounds, none of them hit vital spots. They just need to rest and take care of themselves for a few more days."

"Then can we still rush the road"

"Take your medicine on time and you'll be fine."

Having heard this, Xu the village head felt relieved and went back to where the medicine was being boiled.

Tonight, it was the eldest daughter-in-law of the village head and several nimble women from the village who were tending to the decoction. They were squatting beside a brick stove with earthenware pots, each filled with herbs prescribed by Dr. Shi, bubbling over with dark medicinal broth that emitted an unpleasant smell, but at this moment, no one cared about it.

A number of villagers sat around, crowding those who were injured. They excitedly described the fierce battle that had just taken place.

The children loved it and listened with rapt attention. Some even wished they were older so they could have rushed out with their swords to fight the wolves, what a thrill that would be!

Then, they too would get to bask in the glory of being admired by everyone right now.

Not far away, Gao Ershu, who was busy cleaning up the wolf, listened to someone boasting with saliva flying everywhere. He couldn't help but laugh and scold, "San Haizi, don't talk nonsense there. Who was it before that almost peed their pants when they heard the wolf howling Wasn't it you who shouted about killing the wolf first, and just said you were going to stay in the yard It was Huai Yi who rushed out first, weren't you afraid of being called a coward, so you scrambled out later Now you're trying to act tough...

Even when teased, the little weasel wasn't annoyed. He chuckled and said, "Uncle Gao, you shouldn't hit someone in the face or criticize their weaknesses. I used to be timid, but now haven't I become braver training with Huaiyi Just outside, I didn't back down at all. I chopped at the wolf several times, splattering myself with blood. Well, there's a saying... three days apart is like seeing someone anew..."

Xu Changbai said, “In three days, you will be amazed.”

Three little mice clapped their hands excitedly and said, "Yes, yes, that's the one! If you don't see someone for three days, you have to wash your eyes and look again. You can't underestimate people anymore..."

Everyone chuckled kindly.

The atmosphere was lively, and as the conversation flowed, it inevitably turned to Xu Huaiyi. He was undoubtedly the star of the show, especially his illustrious military record. There was no doubt about it; in the previous fierce werewolf battle, he had been the bravest of them all, wielding a sword and facing the wolf pack without fear.

"With unwavering courage, Wei Yi led the charge, moving through the battlefield as if alone. Wolves swarmed him, but he remained unfazed, his heart steady and calm. With each swing of his blade, he cut down his enemies with deadly precision..."

A child immediately asked curiously, "Tall uncle, Uncle Xǔ San chopped one by one with a knife. Wouldn't it be over if he just let him chop them all alone Do you still have anything to chop Did you just run out to pick up the scraps"

"You little punk, go away!" the tall and burly man laughed. "What do you know This is just hyperbole. It describes your Uncle Xu as brave and skilled, invincible! That's how storytellers always talk."

Everyone burst into laughter again and urged him to continue.

The tall and imposing man struck a pose, adopting the air of a storyteller. “That alpha wolf was the most fearsome creature! When we went out to face him, we were all terrified. But Huai Yi remained fearless. He stood alone against the wolf, their eyes locked in a cold stare. What can I say The meeting at a narrow path favors the brave. Whoever retreats loses.”

Someone couldn't hold back and asked, "Who retreated in the end"

"The tall and strong man exclaimed excitedly, 'No one retreated! Good fellows! Each person faced off against a wolf almost simultaneously. The leader wolf pounced forward, but Wai Yi flipped with amazing agility, dodging the attack and even retaliated with a swift slash. With a whoosh, the leader wolf's blood splashed everywhere, covering Wai Yi's face. It was so intense it made my blood boil!"

The children's eyes lit up with excitement.

Even adults have fallen for it.

However, some people also curiously muttered, "That chopping knife in Huaiyi's hand is sharp enough! I wonder where he bought it from. He once fought with a鏢師 and chopped the鏢師's sword in half with one strike. Now, cutting wolves is even easier for him, like slicing tofu. It doesn't take any effort at all."

Village Head Xu strolled over, stood on the sidelines for a while, and then urged everyone to finish their medicine and go to sleep. “You can brag later after you’ve rested. You won’t run out of time anyway,” he said.

After the villagers left with their giggles and laughter, he turned to Gao Ershu's side. Looking at the wolf meat laid out on the straw, the smell of blood made him feel a little nauseous, but his eyes gleamed with excitement.

“Be careful when you skin it. This pelt, if processed well, is worth more than wolf meat. When we get to the capital, I’ll find a shop to sell it. Who knows, maybe we can get ten taels of silver. Then we might be able to settle down properly. It wouldn't be in vain for those young men risking their lives to go out and kill the wolf. Figure it out, see how much each of them deserves.”

This arrangement suits everyone, after all those people are risking their lives out there. It's only right they get some benefits. Otherwise, who would be willing to volunteer next time

"Uncle Gao was dividing up the wolf meat, saying, 'It's almost fair. Those who didn't put in much effort get half a hide each. Those who killed the wolves alone get the whole hide. Don't worry about anyone complaining. There were several young boys watching from the wall just now. Everyone could see who was at the front and who just helped out. It will be fair.' "

Xu Zhuang "hmm"ed, this kind of matter being handled unfairly, he losing face was a small matter, he was worried that things would escalate, causing resentment, and it would be difficult to move forward in the future.se those who are weak and honest and easy to bully. As long as they find a few like that, they'll regain face."Zhao Sanshou glared, "That's too shameless, isn't this like picking on the soft when you...
