Chapter 108 - 108

Chapter 108 Dawn Will Come SoonSince it was late at night and the weather wasn't very hot, the wolf meat wouldn't spoil quickly, sothe Brigade Leader decided to leave the dozen or so wolves for now and deal with the meat distribution at dawn.No one objected. Everyone was under a lot of tension just now, and now that they relaxed, they all felt extremely tired, especially since they all had injuries.When he got home, he terrified his family.Apart from Brigade Leader and Er Zhuzi, whose injuries were slightly more serious, everyone else was fine."Captain, you and Erzhu should go and treat your wounds to avoid infection," Yun Ting suggested."Okay, we'll go right away."Brigade Leader took Er Zhuzi to the barefoot doctor's house. The old doctor's surname was Xu. He was actually quite skilled in medicine, but in recent years he had kept a low profile to avoid trouble, and not many people knew his true abilities.The doctor cleaned their wounds, applied medicine, bandaged them, and then sent them home.The next morning, the Threshing floor was bustling with activity.Although they had been on tenterhooks all night, the moment they were about to receive their share of meat, everyone had long since forgotten their fears.Today the team gave everyone a day off, and the team's school also had a holiday. Yun Ting didn't get up early and slept in, which was rare for her. It was Yun Xu who woke her up by knocking on the door."You better have something important to do, kid. Don't you know it's unforgivable to disturb someone's sleep?" Yun Ting squinted as he opened the door."Hehe... Good second sister, isn't this why I called you to go and share the meat?" Yun Xutook a step back, worried that his sister would really beat him up.Yun Ting wasn't really interested in wolf meat, but it would be foolish not to take it when there was meat available."You go ahead, I'll be there in a bit.""Okay, sis, I'm off then." Yun Xu disappeared in a flash.Yun Ting shook his head helplessly. No matter how tall he is, he's still a child.There were a total of sixteen wolves, and the village had more than forty households. In reality, there wasn't much meat to go around. Moreover, these wolves had been starving all winter and were all skinny. However, even the smallest ant is still meat, and since the wolf meat was free, everyone was still very happy.This time, the Brigade Leader took it upon himself to give some meat to the Cowshed Shen Family as well. There were some people who were dissatisfied and complained, but theBrigade Leader directly revealed that the alpha wolf was Shen Anliang, who was seriously injured. Everyone present last night knew this, so no one said another word.Next, dividing the meat went smoothly.The siblings carried the wolf meat back together, and Yang Qingqing also brought them the wolf meat she had been allocated." Yun Ting, why don't you cook this wolf meat too? Just give me some, otherwise I won't cook this stuff, it's such a waste."Wolf meat also has a strong gamey smell.Yun Ting feigned a complaint, saying, "Give it to me! I really owe you all this, I've been your slave for so long.""Second sister, you've worked hard. Eat more later." Yun Xu immediately came over to massage her shoulders, and then helped wash the meat.Yun Ting soaked the meat in warm water, and a layer of fine blood foam floated to the surface. He muttered, "Wolf meat is very strong, so I need to add more scallions and ginger."The water in the pot boiled, and she threw the meat in to blanch it. Scum rose to the surface, carrying a wild, gamey smell. She quickly skimmed it off, then changed the water, adding ginger slices, scallions, and a few dried chilies from last year. The flames licked the bottom of the pot, and a pungent, meaty aroma gradually filled the room, overpowering the slight gamey smell."Sis, it smells nice, and the muttony smell is gone.""Hmph...don't you even know who did this?"Seeing her second sister's proud and smug expression, Yun Xu couldn't help but burst into laughter.When can we eat?"Look at how greedy you are! Anyone who didn't know better would think I've been mistreating you. Let me tell you, I've deducted quite a bit of the money you've left with me!""Sis, it's fine if they deduct it! If it's all gone, I'll just ask Mom for more."Look at their shamelessness! They're so brazen about sponging off their parents.By the time the meat was stewed until it was very tender, it was lunchtime.Yun Ting ladled out a large bowl and told Yun Xu to call Yang Qingqing, "Quick, go and call your sister Qing to come eat."Yun Xu shouted directly at the door, "Sister Qing, come and eat!"Without Yun Ting needing to tell him again, he took the initiative to get a bowl and serve himself rice.Looking at the dark red chunks of meat in the bowl, Yun Xu's mouth watered.Yang Qingqing then came over."Sister Qing, why aren't you eating? I'm so hungry!" She said, then eagerly picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth."Mmm...it's so delicious, oh...ha, it's a little spicy.""It tastes better with some chili."Yun Ting was surprised to find that the wolf meat tasted pretty good; this was the first time she had ever eaten wolf meat!Yang Qingqing's thoughts at this moment coincided with hers.From initial resistance to now readily accepting the CD."Mmm...it's so delicious." Yun Xu saw that there was still a lot of soup at the bottom of the bowl, so she scooped up some rice and cleaned up all the soup.Yun Ting was dumbfounded. She really didn't want this younger brother anymore; it was too embarrassing.He even let out a burp afterward, "burp...""You've eaten so much, hurry up and go wash the dishes." Yun Ting ordered her younger brother around without any politeness.Yun Xu didn't dare to resist, but once she was full, everything was fine.In Cowshed, the Shen family was also eating wolf meat, their hearts filled with mixed emotions. They used to live a life of luxury, but now even eating meat is a luxury.Although Duan Xingye would occasionally bring them things, it wasn't appropriate for him to come every few days.Actually, it was good that they came to Xiangyang Brigade; the Brigade Leader here...Brigade Leader was an upright and kind person. Unlike other places, he wouldn't drag people out for public denunciation every few days, allowing the villagers to torment those who had been sent down to the countryside without providing them with enough food, which caused many people to not be able to endure it.In comparison, apart from the tiring work and poor food and lodging, they were doing alright here; at least they weren't mentally tortured." Brigade Leader is a good person…" Old Master Shen said with a sigh after taking a bite of wolf meat."Yes! If it weren't for the Duan Family's help in getting us here, we probably would have had a hard time getting through it if we had gone somewhere else.""But when will this end?" Old Mrs. Shen said worriedly.She didn't care; she was an old woman with nothing to regret. But seeing her sons and grandsons growing thinner and thinner each day, their tired and haggard appearance, her heart ached as if it were being stabbed with needles."Don't worry, dawn will come soon." Old Master Shen said this and then said no more.Although he couldn't go out, Duan Xingyementioned it when he came over last time. The wind outside has changed, and the darkness will eventually pass. He believes that dawn will come soon.Time flew by, and Yun Xu was becoming quite popular in the village. The children would follow him around whenever they had free time, andYun Ting felt that her position as the "King of Children " in the village was in jeopardy.Fortunately, Xiaozhuzi and Little Tiger still only recognize her as their "big sister".That day, Duan Xingye arrived unexpectedly. Yun Ting had a vague feeling that he seemed a little different from usual, and was somewhat silent.
