"Fellow villagers, wolf meat is edible, wolf pelts can be sold for money, every part of a wolf is valuable!" Qin Sanniang shouted loudly.
Upon hearing Qin San Niang's words, some of the passionate men also joined in the shouting.
"Fellow villagers of Lujia Village, wolf pelts are very valuable! A good pelt can sell for ten taels of silver! Besides, wolf meat is still meat. If we kill these beasts, we'll have meat to eat! We can also buy grain, winter clothes, and quilts!"
Upon hearing that the wolf pelt was so valuable, what was there to hesitate about? They were almost out of food and water. Rather than give up and be eaten by wolves, they might as well take a gamble. If they won, they could make a fortune. Besides, they didn't even have any warm clothes to wear!
These men were used to farm work and lacked skills, but they were very strong. With their morale soaring, they quickly gained the upper hand.
With a swift stroke, Qin Sanniang had already killed three wolves, matching Gu Qingshan's skill level. The hoarse cawing of crows echoed from nearby; crows traveling alongside a pack of wolves would likely attract an even larger pack.
Hearing that wolf pelts could be exchanged for money, what were they waiting for? There were many places along the way where they would need money, and they still had no food or clothing for the winter! Even old men in their fifties and sixties were not to be outdone and tried to help their children and grandchildren. Even killing a wolf could earn them some food and drink.
As the most intelligent and cautious animals, seeing this group of people acting so recklessly, the alpha wolf howled and prepared to retreat. Unfortunately, several wolves that were trapped in the encirclement could not escape and soon perished under the shovels and sickles, never to breathe again.
Seeing the dead wolves lying scattered all over the ground, everyone exclaimed in surprise that they had actually defeated the wolf pack. This was quite a legendary experience, and it would be impressive to tell others! Even if they told their children about this story in the future, they could embellish it with their stories. Thinking of this, some people's hearts were already stirred, and the wonderful feeling was indescribable.
Liu hurried over to check on her eldest daughter. Last time, in the tent, she hadn't seen how her daughter shot the crossbow bolt. Now, although she was also hiding behind the carriage, she clearly witnessed her eldest daughter's ferocity. In just a moment, the chilling aura emanating from Qin San Niang made her wonder if this was still her eldest daughter.
But who else could this be but the eldest daughter? She finds food for her family, bathes the children, and cares for her injured leg... Perhaps this is divine help? If so, then it makes sense.
As Qin San Niang's biological mother, she couldn't show any doubt in front of others, otherwise it would put her eldest daughter in a difficult position. Liu suppressed her doubts and quickly stepped forward. The battle had been fierce just now, and she was afraid that her eldest daughter would get hurt.
"Mother, don't worry. I'm fine. I'm just covered in wolf blood. I'll have to wash myself and change my clothes later." It's still dark, and the smell of blood could easily attract other wild animals.
The cawing of the crows gradually faded into the distance, and Qin San Niang figured that the alpha wolf must have already gone far away.
However, it's hard to say whether there are bears or even tigers around here, since there are even wolves.
The concern in Liu's eyes was genuine. How could Liu, as the original owner's mother, not have any doubts about her own fierceness? However, since she could withstand the test, Qin San Niang decided to blame it on the old immortal. People in this era believed in gods!
As for Gu Qingshan? He wasn't surprised that Qin Sanniang was exceptionally skilled, but he had never seen such a style of martial arts before. Every move was aimed at killing, and it truly deserved the word "ruthless"!
But what does it matter? Such a powerful person is an ally, not an enemy—that's a good thing! And then there's his own little wife, Ah Zhi. If something were to happen to him, her father, perhaps he could ask her to take care of Ah Zhi. Of course, he would also do his best to help their family settle down in the south. Thinking of this, Gu Qingshan felt much more at ease and had a clear direction for the future.
Qin San Niang was overjoyed and thanked her senior brother, who had taught her martial arts, eight times in a row. She was quite proud of the results of her self-training over the past month, and that dagger was truly capable of cutting through iron like mud. Her combat power, which was originally only six points, was directly upgraded to eight points.
Speaking of which, ever since she learned that the items in the space supermarket were non-renewable, it meant losing a continuous source of supplies. Qin Sanniang was initially troubled by the not-so-abundant ammunition depot. Finally, she realized that only by becoming stronger herself could she truly solve the problem once and for all; as for weapons? They were merely icing on the cake. There were books on combat techniques and shooting inside, undoubtedly left by someone within the organization, which made it convenient for her to study. To continuously strengthen herself, Qin Sanniang never missed a day of training.
She still looks as thin as ever, but in reality, her muscles are much more developed than when she first arrived, thanks to the extra meals she's been eating.
Under Liu's nagging, Qin San Niang had no choice but to hide in the carriage to change her clothes and wash herself.
The children were being lectured by their grandmother: "It's my secret that your mother knows kung fu. Your grandfather was very skilled in kung fu; he could kill a wolf with one punch! We still have a small wolf-skin rug hanging in our house!"
As for where the wolf pelt came from? Well, Old Man Qin bought it! Of course, she didn't intend to say.
The children had just caught a glimpse of their mother killing a wolf, but their grandmothers and the others covered their eyes afterward. Even so, it was enough to fill them with admiration! Even A-Zhi had never seen a woman as capable as her mother! A-Nan felt proud, finally no longer envious of A-Zhi's father's hunting skills, since her mother could also hunt wolves! However, she automatically overlooked the fact that A-Zhi's father had also killed quite a few wolves.
Hearing Grandma say this, they suddenly realized that their mother's skills were learned from Grandpa.
"Grandma, Grandpa is really amazing!"
"Mother is very skilled too, so why didn't Grandma learn it?"
"Grandma, why didn't you bring the wolf skin? Did you forget?"
"When I grow up, I want to learn kung fu too. Then I can take down ten wolves in one go, and use the money to buy Grandma snacks and candy!"
...
Liu's vanity was greatly satisfied, and she patted the little ones on the head with relief, telling them not to tell anyone outside, as this was their family secret!
As for learning wolf-fighting skills, of course you can, but your mother will have to teach you. It won't cost any money! Your grandmother can't teach you. Why can't she? Because she was past the best age for learning when she met your grandfather…
Liu wiped away non-existent sweat. "The kids are getting older and harder to soothe," she said, and even she herself believed it to be true!
Wu Chunhua and the others didn't find this strange at all. In their eyes, Qin Sanniang was like a god, and it was only natural that she could do everything.
Wu Chunhua refused to touch the corpses of the dead wolves, but Fatty wasn't afraid. She and Gu Qingshan dragged over the wolves they had killed.
Looking at the pile of wolf carcasses in front of them, the faces of the old and young men of Lujia Village flushed red. Although there were only seven wolves, they were very large, with lots of meat and big hides!
The village head then distributed the wolf meat to each household that had contributed labor. As for those like Zhao Juhua who hadn't contributed, or some timid men who dared not step forward, the village head knew their place. He had already made it clear during the distribution that they would only receive a pound as a token treat. If they hesitated again in such a situation, they would no longer receive any meat. After all, whose life wasn't precious? It was unreasonable to make men risk their lives to earn meat!
