When Xu Jinyan dragged Lone Wolf's corpse to the camp, Uncle Dong, Wang Xiaochuan, and the others were drinking the leftover fish soup.
The three fish were too big, so they hadn't finished the soup. If it was cold, it would have a fishy smell, so they planned to drink it while it was hot to avoid wasting it.
Uncle Dong heard a voice behind him and knew that Xu Jinyan had returned. He lifted his head from the bowl and turned around with a smile.
"Little Xu, I found the herbs!"
However, before he could finish speaking, he was dumbfounded.
The bowl in his hand fell to the ground because of the shock, and the fish soup spilled all over the ground.
Wang Xiaochuan was shocked by Uncle Dong.
"Uncle Dong, why did you smash the bowl?”
After saying that, he followed Uncle Dong's line of sight and looked back. His eyebrows flew up as he cried out in surprise.
" Wolf?!"
Uncle Dong and the others were all dumbfounded. They looked at Xu Jinyan and the bloody corpse of the lone wolf, shocked and afraid.
Xu Jinyan's body was stained with wolf blood. He was holding Lone Wolf's corpse, but his thin body was standing straight like a tree. His eyes were surprisingly calm.
Xu Jinyan grinned at them after escaping death.
"I've already killed the wolf, you don't have to be afraid."
This smile made their pupils shrink.
Uncle Dong was indeed someone who had experienced great storms and waves. He was the first to react from the shock.
He instantly jumped up. He wanted to get closer, but he looked at the old wolf's corpse in fear and said in a trembling voice,
"Little Xu, this, this, this…What was going on? Are you hurt?"
Xu Jinyan threw Lone Wolf's corpse to the side and sat down with the kitchen knife. He scooped a bowl of fish soup for himself and took a sip. He felt as if he had come back to life.
Although he had successfully killed the old wolf that had half its foot in the ground, the process could not be described as not thrilling. His body was still stiff.
Xu Jinyan swallowed the fish soup and grinned at Uncle Dong. He looked a little " heartless."
"I'm fine. The one who's in trouble is this beast!”
Uncle Dong was scared out of his wits, but he finally heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Fortunately, Xu Jinyan was fine. Otherwise, he would never be at ease for the rest of his life!
When he saw the boy dragging the corpse of the lone wolf over with his body covered in blood, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He was afraid that something would happen to Xu Jinyan.
As the leader of the Horse Wrangler Team, Dong Kuan had not thought things through before letting Xu Jinyan search for herbs alone. If anything happened, it would be his fault and he would not be able to explain himself!
Wang Xiaochuan had also snapped out of his shock at this moment, and his entire body was covered in cold sweat.
Although Xu Jinyan appeared indifferent, Wang Xiaochuan knew the danger involved.
As a member of the hunting team, he knew how difficult it was to deal with these beasts.
"It's all my fault. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have taken the risk to pick herbs."
Xu Jinyan felt a sense of warmth in his heart when he saw that everyone was hugging him.
He could feel that these people in the team really cared about him.
When he was in the Siheyuan, he was a loner and had never talked to anyone. Naturally, it was impossible for anyone to show such obvious emotions in front of him.
The herdsmen on the grassland were indeed simple and honest.
Xu Jinyan smiled and comforted Wang Xiaochuan.
"I'm fine, I'm really fine. No one would have expected to meet a wolf. It's not your fault.”
Wang Xiaochuan's tensed heart relaxed.
Naturally, he admired and appreciated Xu Jinyan.
"Xiao Xu, you're my brother from now on. If you have anything to say, just let me know. I'll do it for you even if I have to go through fire and water!”
Xu Jinyan smiled and shook his head. He didn't try to change Wang Xiaochuan's mind.
Although he hadn't been in contact with them for long, he knew that these herdsmen were very stubborn. Once they had set their minds on something, it would be difficult for others to change their minds.
On the other side.
Uncle Dong looked at the old wolf's corpse with lingering fear. Suddenly, he moved closer to look at the wound on the wolf's neck.
"Little Xu, did you use a kitchen knife to kill this bastard?”
Xu Jinyan had already thought of an excuse. The secret of the space must not be exposed.
However, he had brought a bag with him when he went out to look for herbs, so he said.
"Yes, I didn't let Mu off before. I thought it would be better to be safe for the first time, so I brought a kitchen knife. Not only can it make it easier to cook, but it can also be used for defense.”
"I thought it was a burden, but I didn't expect to meet this beast. It saved my life.”
Uncle Dong nodded with lingering fear." Fortunately, you brought a kitchen knife. Otherwise, how could you defeat the wild wolves on the grassland with your bare hands?"”
As he spoke, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his face full of fear.
Wang Xiaochuan also said," Exactly. Our hunting team knows how scary wolves are. These creatures are cunning and ferocious. Fortunately, this old wolf has been starving for a long time and has no strength. It's also blind in one eye. Fortunately, it's not at its peak, or Little Xu Ke would have died!”
"But even so, this kind of beast is not something that human strength can fight against. In the past, I heard Uncle Dong praise your skills.”
Xu Jinyan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard their conversation. It seemed that they had already believed him. The secret of the space would not be discovered.
Old Guo suddenly said with a serious expression," Didn't the hunting team clean up the surrounding area before? Why are there wolves?"
Uncle Dong also said solemnly,"It should be the fish that escaped from the net before. We happened to encounter them. Most importantly, we don't know how many more fish escaped from the net nearby. We better not encounter them again. If there are wolves, we won't be so lucky to escape from death!”
The five of them discussed for a while, and finally, Uncle Dong slapped his thigh and decided.
"Let's go! We can't let the horse go. Xiaochuan hasn't recovered yet. Let's send the news back first. We can't take any more risks.”
The few of them hurriedly began to pack their things and rode their horses to lead the herd back to the ranch.
Xu Jinyan rode on his horse and looked back at the lake behind him.
This grazing was a novel experience for him, and it was a pity that it ended like this!
Come often if you have the chance.
This time, they went back much faster and arrived at the village in the evening.
When the villagers saw that they had returned early and brought a wolf's corpse, they were all frightened.
When they heard Uncle Dong say that Xu Jinyan had killed the wolf single-handedly, there was an uproar.
The news also spread like wildfire in the village.
