Chapter 150 I have tried everything
After cleaning up the wolves, there was a sudden jubilation at the entrance of the cave. Shen Zhiqiu just wanted to say, what a guy who only remembers to eat and not to be beaten!
Just now, someone narrowly escaped from the wolf's jaws. Now, everyone was baring their teeth and grimacing, shouting:
"Oh, there are so many wolves. They will be enough to eat for a long time!"
Shen Zhiqiu was helpless but also a little excited: "Be careful when you lift the bamboo mat later, in case some wolves are still alive, don't be careless and lose Jingzhou."
Shen Tietou was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Shen Zhiqiu explained: "Jingzhou is a place name. The allusion of carelessness in losing Jingzhou is that at that time, the famous general Guan Yu was guarding Jingzhou. Guan Yu led his troops to attack Cao Cao.
Sun Quan took the opportunity to attack Jingzhou, which led to its fall. The main reason was Guan Yu's carelessness, which led to the fatal mistake and the loss of Jingzhou. "
Shen Tietou smiled innocently: "The third brother knows a lot, he knows everything."
Shen Zhiqiu thought: I really should tell them about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Thirty-Six Stratagems" when I have nothing to do, otherwise they will be so naive and easily fooled when they go out in the future.
But this is not the time to tell a story. Let’s clean up the wolf’s corpse first, so that it won’t be bloody and attract other wild animals.
With Shen Zhiqiu's reminder, the men were very careful when they lifted the bamboo mat. They all jumped away with long weapons. There were also many people on standby nearby. If there were any wolves that were not dead, they would stab them directly.
Hunter Gao reminded again: "Wolves can play dead, so it's best to give them one more blow, and then drag them out if they don't react."
Well, this time, no matter whether they are dead or alive, they will inevitably be hit a few more times.
The "puff, puff" sound never stopped for a while.
After all the wolf carcasses were taken out, they were all exhausted and panting. They slept for two hours and then worked again for the rest of the night.
The sky was now turning pale, and the snow was gradually fading, with only a few snowflakes still falling.
But if you ask them at this time, are they still sleepy?
The answers were very uniform: "I'm not sleepy. Why should I be sleepy? Hurry up and peel the skin. Isn't it delicious to have meat in the morning?"
Not only were they not sleepy after seeing it, they were so excited that they almost died.
Boss Guo wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Fuck it, how many wolves are there? Forty in total! If we hadn't discovered them in advance, would we have been able to survive?"
Wang Fuxi also had a look of fear on his face: "I made eye contact with that beast. My goodness, at that moment, I felt like I was going to meet my father down there. If it weren't for Erhu, I probably wouldn't have seen the sun today."
Erhu smiled innocently, his face burning: "It was Erzhuang who saved me."
Shen Fugui said loudly: "You are all great. You have made us all proud."
When everyone heard this, they all started praising Erhu and Erzhuang. Some also praised the other guys, saying that they came out with torches just in time, as the wolves ran away when they saw the torches.
Dabao said: "I have to thank my sister. It was Yoyo who told us to hold the torch to scare the wolves. Otherwise we would not have thought of it!"
When Shen Zhiqiu heard that his daughter was involved in this, his face suddenly showed great pride.
Shen Mazi patted Shen Zhiqiu on the shoulder: "Youyou is really smart. Who could have thought of a plan at that time? Everyone was so nervous and confused."
Shen Zhiqiu was not modest at all and said, "Don't say you are confused. I was confused too. I didn't think of it at the time. It's all thanks to my daughter."
He is the kind of father who would never say to anyone that his children are not good enough and cannot compare to your children. He always says that his children, no matter what they are like, are the best!
Sometimes I complain about my daughter, but it's just to make her laugh. I never think that my child is worse than other people's children.
When everyone was celebrating, the old men came out.
Master Shen inspected the area and was not very satisfied: "Oh, there are so many holes on the wolves. Can we still sell their skins for a good price? They are almost like sieves."
In fact, it was not only Mr. Shen who felt sorry for it, but also other old men and old ladies. Forty wolves, even if the skin was worth seven or eight taels of silver, it would be two or three hundred taels.
Now there were bloody holes all over them. The only relatively intact ones were the leader wolf and the one whose head was smashed by Er Zhuang.
The others are no longer viable and probably can’t be sold.
Doctor Guo clicked his tongue and said in dissatisfaction, "How come this wolf is so skinny? It has no meat at all!"
Hunter Gao said: "It's probably because of the drought. The number of animals has decreased, and they can't get enough to eat."
Shen Zhiqiu also comforted:
"It's better to have something than nothing. Besides, no one is injured. If we can't sell the wolf skins, we can make a pair of leather socks for the elderly, women and children.
It will be warmer when we set out again, and if there is any extra, we can make leather gloves. It will keep our hands from getting cold when pushing the cart."
The master thought about it and decided that it was true. He was content with what he had, so he waved his hand and said, "Skin him!"
I also heard Father Shen muttering beside me: "There's not much meat, so stewing the bones will do. The more you chew the bones, the more delicious they are."
At this time, Hunter Gao, along with his two sons and four grandsons, began to sharpen their knives and attack the wolves.
Dip the butcher knife in water and rub it against a large rock. The weather is so cold that the water turns into ice in a short time.
He could only light a fire and sharpen the knife by the fire, spitting twice on his palm while sharpening the knife. After sharpening the knife, he rushed towards the wolf.
Many kids in the cave were excited and wanted to put on their clothes and go out to see how to kill the wolf.
Shen Youyou dissuaded him: "The wolf was killed long ago, now we are just skinning it."
The little kids were even more excited, cheering and clapping their hands: "Grandpa Gao has killed a wolf, and we can eat wolf meat again."
Shen Youyou laughed: "Don't you eat enough meat? Think about the wolf meat, beef, horse meat, wild boar meat, rabbit meat, pheasant meat, fish meat, bamboo rat meat along the way. Why are you still so greedy for meat?"
Shen Luming said: "I didn't get to eat pheasant meat. The meat I got was rabbit meat."
Shen Yuanbao also retorted: "How can you eat enough meat? I can't eat enough even if I eat it for my whole life."
Shen Dingding also counted on her fingers and told Shen Youyou: "Sister Youyou, it seems we also ate cicada meat and locust meat."
Shen Yaya also raised her hand anxiously and said, "There is also snake meat, which was caught by Sister Yoyo."
Shen Youyou thought about it and realized that they had eaten a lot of meat along the way, and they had almost tried all kinds of meat.
Shen Youyou was responsible for looking after the children while the sisters were boiling hot water in pots in the rest area.
At this time, the women also brought out large basins of water, both hot and cold water.
The old ladies were smiling even more, as if they had forgotten that they were cursing the wolf yesterday.
He asked the young boys to set up the pots, and more than a dozen large pots were set up at the entrance of the cave again.
The old ladies thought that they did not bear grudges. With the wolf meat delivered to their doorstep, they could eat for a few more days. Also, although the wolf skins could not be sold, they could be made into a lot of socks and gloves.
Now when they see the wolves, they no longer think that they are bringing bad luck during the New Year. Instead, they think to themselves that this is a New Year gift that has been delivered to their doorsteps!
