Qin Yao slept well without any dreams that night.
If the chirping in the main room hadn't started so early in the morning, she might have been able to have another good nap.
Jinbao and Jinhua arrived very early. When they arrived, Qin Yao's door was still locked, and they banged on the door loudly.
The brother and sister had no idea what happened at the ancestral hall last night. They were confined at home and fell asleep early.
It was not until he woke up this morning that he learned about what a big thing had happened last night. When he heard people say that the wolf was killed by Third Aunt and Dalang, Jinbao was so excited that he didn't even have breakfast. He immediately put on his thick cotton jacket and went to his Third Aunt's house.
Jinhua was not to be outdone and followed closely behind.
At this moment, Jinbao, Jinhua, Erlang, Sanlang, and Si Niang were sitting around Dalang, asking questions non-stop.
Jinhua: "Brother Dalang, did you really kill the wolf?"
Da Lang nodded, then shook his head, "I guess so, but it's mainly due to Aunt Yao."
Jin Bao: "Da Lang, how did you kill the wolf? With a knife or a bow and arrow?"
Da Lang replied: "I didn't have the chance to take out the knife and bow and arrow I used. The distance was too close and the wolf was too fast. I was completely confused at the time and I don't know how I stabbed it to death."
Erlang: "Brother, do you know how much a wolf skin is worth? Can the wolves that our village brought back this time be sold for a lot of money?"
Dalang, who had been patient and good-tempered just now, immediately stopped smiling when he heard this question and said unhappily, "Skip it. Who wants to ask the next question?"
Sanlang raised his hand actively: "I, I, I, big brother, I want to ask, can you pull out the wolf's teeth for me?"
"What do you want the wolf's fang for?" Si Niang asked in confusion.
Sanlang said seriously: "It was Granny Wang who told me that wolf teeth can ward off evil spirits. I am afraid of ghosts."
Erlang rushed over with evil intentions, growling like a ghost, and said sinisterly: "Liu~San~lang~, I'm going to eat you!"
The main room was suddenly filled with the children's panicked screams and strange complaints after they realized what was happening.
Liu Ji, who was struggling to finish the winter vacation homework assigned by the teacher in the study room, turned black in the face, put the book down with a "slap", pushed open the window, and roared:
"Liu Erlang, you better be quiet for a while!"
Several heads popped out from the aisle, led by Erlang, followed by Jinbao, Jinhua and Si Niang, and they all made a face at him.
"Hey, you little brats are rebelling!"
Seeing Liu Ji picking up the broom near the door and chasing after them, Erlang and the others immediately scattered and fled, laughing non-stop.
Dalang, whose muscles were sore all over and he dared not walk, and whose face had several bruises, could only sit on a chair in the main room, warming himself by the fire and watching them play with envy.
He calculated maliciously in his mind that his stepmother would arrive at the battlefield in a few moments.
As the noise was going on, the door of the master bedroom creaked open slowly.
In an instant, all the noise disappeared, and adults and children all looked towards the door.
"Good morning!"
Qin Yao walked out of the house, stretching lazily, and waved to everyone in a good mood.
The quiet courtyard finally regained its voice, and it was obviously much more docile than before.
"Madam, what would you like to eat for breakfast?" Liu Ji threw away the broom in his hand and asked enthusiastically.
He also took the time to give Erlang and Si Niang a warning glare, "You two naughty boys, I'll deal with you later."
Qin Yao asked curiously: "Is there a menu?"
Liu Ji chuckled, "Of course, my lady, if you want to eat it, I will find a way to pick it for you even if it is the moon in the sky!"
Qin Yao's mouth twitched slightly. She was too lazy to deal with this bastard anymore. She went to the main hall to check on Dalang first. Seeing several bruises on his face, she turned around and asked Liu Ji who followed her, "Did you apply the medicine?"
"Yes, yes." Liu Ji winked at Dalang.
Dalang rolled his eyes helplessly toward the sky and tried to get away with it.
After Qin Yao left the main room, Liu Ji ran back to the room to get the medicine, and applied the medicine to his eldest son's nose, which was not really his nose.
Afraid that Qin Yao would find out, he even closed the door to the main room.
Qin Yao came to the kitchen, and Awang handed her a bowl of bone soup and said:
"The village chief had someone deliver 20 kilograms of wolf meat this morning, as well as the skin and head of a wolf. I'll put them in the backyard to freeze, and I'll wait until you wake up to see what you want to do with them."
Qin Yao drank the soup and went around to the backyard to take a look. The entire skin of the wolf leader had been peeled off, and the wolf head with a broken lower jaw was hung on a bamboo pole in the backyard.
Jin Bao's four wives and the others followed over and screamed at the sight. They wanted to see more but were also afraid, so they all hid behind Qin Yao, with only their heads showing.
Qin Yao drove the children to the kitchen with amusement and asked curiously, "Jin Bao Jin Hua, did your family divide it?"
The brother and sister nodded and said that they shared the meat but not the skin.
"How much meat was divided?" Qin Yao asked again.
Jin Bao said uncertainly, "It's similar to your family, Aunt San."
That's also twenty kilograms.
Qin Yao couldn't figure out what the division was, so she went to ask Awang, but he had been at home since early morning and hadn't gone out yet. He shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
At the same time, he handed over a plate of warmed meat pie.
Qin Yao took it and smelled it. The aroma was so fragrant that her appetite was aroused.
While eating, he asked the little ones beside him, "Have you had breakfast?"
Several people nodded frantically. They had already eaten it and had no interest in Qin Yao's meat pie, but they just liked to surround her and couldn't be driven away.
Qin Yao smiled and ignored them, enjoying her pancakes and meat soup, while testing a few students on their homework.
While the test was going on, there was a sudden burst of enthusiastic cheers from Murai's side.
Several children who were forced to take a test immediately ran out to see.
After a while, Si Niang and Jin Hua came back and said, "Mother, the village is selling wolf meat! So many people have come to the village well, and I don't know any of them!"
As he was speaking, another round of noise was heard.
Although I couldn't see what was happening over at Murai's place, I could already feel the cheerful atmosphere there.
Qin Yao became curious and had just finished her breakfast, so she clapped her hands and stood up, telling Liu Ji to take good care of Dalang, and led Jinhua and Si Niang towards the village well.
Before arriving at the place, the popularity has already arrived.
The villagers of Liujia Village were busy slaughtering wolves, which lasted from last night until this morning without stopping.
After the Yang brothers returned to the village, they spread the news again, which attracted many villagers from Xiahe Village who came to watch the fun early in the morning.
The people from Xiahe Village originally came to see whether the wolf extermination was successful.
If it fails, their village is close, so they naturally have to be on guard in advance.
Unexpectedly, the Liujia Village not only succeeded, but also wiped out the wolf pack in one fell swoop!
Look at the area covered with wolf skins and wolf meat. Shouldn’t I buy some to take back and make a rare dish for New Year’s Eve?
The shouting and yelling that Qin Yao heard at home was because there was not enough meat and there were too many people, so there were not enough shares. Several villagers were arm wrestling for a spot, and the fight was so intense that the onlookers couldn't control their emotions and burst out.
It was so lively that if you didn’t know better you would think today was Chinese New Year.
In fact, today is only the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve. (End of this chapter)
