"It's true, I didn't realize it until I said it, but now I'm really thirsty and hungry."

"We've saved up our breakfasts," someone said, finding humor in their predicament.

"Now that we've all arrived safely, everyone should quickly make something to eat and try to get back to the village as soon as possible." Hearing Si Cheng's words, everyone quickly got to work.

Si Cheng handed over his food to Yun Tao and the others, telling them to cook on the stove they had set up earlier, while he opened the wolf's shell to inspect it.

Some people, out of curiosity, gathered around. Seeing how carefully he was examining it, they asked, "Brother Cheng, what are you looking at?"

"I'm checking if this wolf has any diseases."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but take a few steps back. "In that case, we should just throw it away quickly."

"Brother Cheng, is it infected with any diseases?"

"It shouldn't be. I just parted its fur and checked it. Its skin is fine. Besides, this wolf must have been starving for a long time. I only found some small pebbles in its internal organs. It hasn't eaten for a long time. That's probably why it was staring at us so intently. It probably knows that if it doesn't find prey soon, it will starve to death."

Hearing that there were no problems, everyone felt relieved and moved closer to look at the wolf lying on the ground.

"So this is what wolves look like. They really aren't that different from wolfhounds."

"This wolf is really skinny, it's practically skin and bones."

"I never noticed it was thin when it was alive."

"Even animals are having a hard time these days."

Some people asked curiously, "Brother Cheng, do you think there might be a pack of wolves? We've never heard of wolves around here before. Where did it come from?"

Yun Mingwei walked over at this moment, "Who can say for sure now? They might have escaped from the zoo, or they might have escaped from the deep mountains. Just because you don't know doesn't mean they don't exist. There are many of them in the deep forests here, and people have discovered traces of them before."

"Won't that put us in danger in the future? What if they run to our area?" Some people started to worry.

"With Brother Cheng around, what's there to be afraid of? It's perfect timing to deliver meat right to our door."

Hearing this, Si Cheng found it somewhat amusing. "If a whole group comes, then I can just go and deliver meat to them."

"To avoid becoming meat, let's learn a few tricks from Brother Cheng and the others when we have time." At this point, many people thought it made sense and expressed their desire to become his disciples. Si Cheng naturally had no reason not to agree. If everyone's abilities improved, then the safety system techniques of Peace Village would also be more advanced.

"This is truly the most miserable wolf I've ever seen. Is it possible that they can't even get enough to eat on the mountain now?"

Some people were also asking, "Brother Cheng, what are you going to do with this wolf?"

Si Cheng had never really thought about this question. When he took it with him, he just felt it would be a waste to leave it there.

"Let's hand it over to the village then. We can dry it and leave it there. Maybe we can use it to trade for something later," Si Cheng said after thinking for a moment.

He really had no interest in wolf meat. Wolf meat was coarser than dog meat and had a fishy smell, which he couldn't stand. As for wolf skin, Yun Qi had specially gone to Haining to buy a large batch of furs, enough for his family to use for a lifetime. He looked down on the skinny wolf skin in front of him.

"This was done by you, Brother Cheng. Even if you stay, no one will say anything." Yun Xun said, glancing around at the people around him. He only looked away with satisfaction when he saw many people nodding in agreement.

"Actually, giving wolves to the village has its benefits. Wolf meat can nourish the five internal organs and is very helpful in replenishing blood and qi. The elderly in the village can eat some in moderation." Sun Shaofeng, who had been studying traditional Chinese medicine with Yunnan Pharmacy, shared the knowledge he had just learned.

This was something no one really knew, but everyone agreed that Sicheng was willing to give the wolf to the village. Even if they couldn't eat it themselves, they could dry it and hang it up so everyone could check on it every now and then. This was the first wolf he had ever encountered in his life, and although he hadn't hunted it himself, at least he had experienced the whole process.

After a simple meal, everyone finally reached the village entrance before dark.

Those standing on the watchtower saw a group of people approaching from afar and quickly struck the gong beside them. Hearing the gong at the village entrance, the villagers, young and old, soon gathered there.

"What's going on? Why are they banging the gong at this hour?" The first villagers to arrive asked the person on duty standing on the watchtower.

"A large group of people are walking towards us from the other side. They look like they came from our village." He was a little unsure.

“How long has it been? Why have they come back? Is it a large group? Look more closely. If they are outsiders, we should take precautions.” Village Chief Yun Mingwu arrived at this time.

"They're from our village. I saw them waving." Only when these people got closer did he realize they were indeed from his village, and then he told the people below to open the door quickly.

"Why are you back so early?" As soon as I entered the village, many people asked me this question.

Si Cheng simply put the wolf on his shoulder to the ground and stood there silently.

Yun Mingwei was the oldest among those who went on this trip, so he stood up and recounted what happened during the trip, leaving everyone stunned.

Many people couldn't resist rummaging through the packages on the ground, wanting to see what the legendary wild wolf looked like. The village elders, however, focused primarily on the plague.

"Tell me again, in detail, what Majia Village said about the plague." The second grandfather grabbed Yun Mingwei's hand and made him repeat it carefully.

Yun Mingwei also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he carefully recalled and answered the questions.

After listening, he immediately notified the people gathered at the village entrance: "Everyone, hurry back and eat first. We'll meet at the square in an hour and a half."

After saying this, he called over the village officials and several elderly people to discuss the matter directly.

People who had just returned found their families in the crowd and walked home, sharing their experiences from the trip.

Si Cheng also found Yun Qi and the others in the crowd. After greeting his parents-in-law, he walked over to Yun Qi.

Junjun and Lele hadn't seen their father for several days and tried to jump on him, but Yunqi grabbed them by the collar. "Dad just got back. He'll hug you after he gets home and washes up," she said. Then she put one of the children on her parents and went straight to her husband, asking him how he was doing.

"Bad mommy, you're still getting closer to daddy." Lele pouted and said unhappily to her grandmother.

"You little rascal," Yun's mother said, chuckling as she tapped her forehead.
