Chapter 73 Hyenas and Ear Tags
On the other side, at the edge of the dense undergrowth, the sound of a motorcycle could be heard.
Li Jinyang was carrying Hu Zi, with a bulging package between them.
Hu Zi was holding a large box in his hand, and from time to time he could hear "howling" sounds coming from it.
The two headed towards the plateau pasture.
"Huzi, don't be so willful next time."
A man with sinister eyes sat on the back of a motorcycle, his long hair blowing in front of his forehead.
A horrible red scar was carved deep into his left eyelid, leaving his eyeball sunken.
The left eye is blind.
"Did you hear that?" Li Jinyang asked again.
Hu Zi finally spoke: "Brother, the sheep is saved."
"Save your mother! Do you really think you're the savior?! Don't you know what that sheep is for?"
"It's just a bait. Even if you save it, it will still be slaughtered and eaten! What's the point of saving it!"
Hu Zi remained silent, while the things in the box were struggling and wailing.
"Shut it up!"
Hu Zi patted the box gently, making a soothing "shush" sound with his mouth.
The box immediately became quiet.
"Today I had bad luck. I ran into two stupid guys. They only knew how to thank you, but didn't even show any appreciation. I didn't even get any money from them. Damn."
"Brother, why don't we go to the county and find a job."
"Work? What kind of work can I do to make up for my losses? The elderly, weak, and sick in my garden are still waiting for my help! How are you going to pay back your loan sharking? By working? Then you'll have to live like a cuckold!"
When Hu Zi heard the word "usury", he stopped talking again.
Li Jinyang bit the grass hard and said, "If that bastard hadn't run around and almost got exposed, we would have already finished the big deal and returned home!"
Hu Zi sighed heavily.
Li Jinyang cursed all the way and finally vented his emotions.
The two found a shady place to sit down and rest.
Li Jinyang took out a bottle of water and two steamed breads from his pocket, and rummaged around his body for a long time before finding a small bag of beef jerky.
He stared at the beef jerky for a long time and handed it to Hu Zi beside him.
He seemed to have thought of something, and when he spoke again, his tone was much softer:
"Huzi, who would do such a thing unless they were desperate? But there's no turning back for us."
"I know you have a good heart. You lost your eye to save me. I remember it all."
Hu Zi did not take the beef jerky, but took a pot cake from Li Jinyang and took a big bite.
"Eat some meat! How are you going to make money if you're too skinny?"
Li Jinyang was about to force it in, but Hu Zi was very strong and blocked it back.
Li Jinyang saw Hu Zi's resolute attitude and muttered:
"Borrowing money from loan sharks to pay for Aunt's medical treatment is one thing, but you went to the temple and made a wish that if Aunt could live a few more years, you'd be willing to be a vegetarian for the rest of your life. What are you trying to achieve, you idiot?! Even if you were fulfilling your vow, you should have paid it off by now!"
"Brother! You know my mother's illness. It's a miracle that she can live for so many years!"
Hu Zi was a little anxious and added: "What's wrong with eating some vegetarian food? What else can I gain from it?"
Seeing that Hu Zi was indeed angry, Li Jinyang waved his hand and said:
"Okay, I won't say anything more."
Hu Zi took a few bites of the pot cake, seemed to think of something, and stood up to take the beef jerky from Li Jinyang's hand.
"Hey! That's right, only when you're full can you have the energy to make money!"
Hu Zi walked past Li Jinyang, went straight to the box, and slowly opened it——
A head cautiously poked out of the box, making a low whimpering sound.
It was a hyena that was skin and bones.
Hu Zi threw the beef jerky into the box, took off the hyena's muzzle, and said:
"Eat it, this is all we have."
The hyena's eyes lit up, and he lowered his head, took a bite of the beef jerky, and began chewing it madly.
The iron chain around his neck clanged, and a long, red scar appeared on the skin next to the chain.
When Li Jinyang saw Hu Zi gave the beef jerky to the hyena, he was furious.
"Are you sick? Why are you giving this beast meat to eat?!"
"It's just healed and needs some nourishment."
This hyena was locked up by Li Jinyang after it escaped with its last breath injured by Qi Guang.
Thanks to Hu Zi's careful care, he saved his life.
Unable to go out to hunt and with not much meat to eat, he is now just skin and bones.
"I told you to take the ear tags off, why are you still wearing them?! Do you think your life is too long?!"
Li Jinyang roared and reached out to pull off the hyena's ear tag!
"Ouch! Ouch!"
The hyena howled to express its dissatisfaction with Li Jinyang.
"Shut up! If I hadn't bought you back from that nigger, you would still be performing on the streets!"
Hu Zi put on the hyena's muzzle again and whispered:
"Brother, keep your voice down."
Li Jinyang seemed to have regained some of his sanity. He went over and slammed the lid of the box shut, saying:
"Let's go quickly. We finally found the shadow of that golden eagle. Don't let it get away again."
*****
The sun had already set when Qi Guang and his friends returned to the yurt.
Kormu Khan had already returned with Zhanxue and the livestock.
But he left Uchiko Bobo to Qi Guang and the others.
Lu Cheng was still very worried along the way, so Qi Guang told Kormu Khan that he wanted to take Uchiguang Bobo back and observe him for another night.
In fact, Qi Guang also wanted to be on the safe side and feed Bobo some potion. The last time Batur was able to recover quickly was because the potion worked.
After returning to the yurt, the two washed up and Qi Guang gave Bobo some water (with recovery potion, of course).
Bobo seemed to be in good condition, and Lu Cheng was visibly relieved.
Just kept staring at Bobo's nameplate.
Of course, netizens in the live broadcast room caught this scene and clamored to see the nameplates of the other sheep.
"I'll take a close-up of you guys on the mini-program tomorrow, don't worry."
Seeing Lu Cheng holding the nameplate and looking at it carefully.
"If you really can't get over this hurdle in your heart, why don't you give me the pen and write it yourself?"
Lu Cheng replied:
"That's it. It's good if I like it."
After saying that, he patted Bobo, and Bobo walked to Baba obediently.
Baba and Batur seemed to have gotten used to Qi Guang bringing back an animal every now and then, so they moved to the side to make some space for Bobo.
A few animal friends, so harmonious that it's scary.
Qi Guang poured a glass of water and handed it to Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng took it and said:
"No milk tea today?"
Qi Guang turned around to make milk tea and replied:
"I have milk tea. You take the medicine first."
Qi Guang knew that Lu Cheng was currently in a stage where he had to carry medicine with him all the time, but since the two of them met, Qi Guang seemed to have not seen Lu Cheng take the medicine.
Lu Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, then smiled and said:
"Really like a butler."
He turned around, found the medicine in his bag, and drank it with water.
Qi Guang took the empty cup from Lu Cheng's hand and said:
"You can't stop taking the medicine, Master."
Lu Cheng pulled Wei Yan over and touched its slightly bluish fur. Although its head was lowered, its smile became even wider.
Qi Guang took out the instant noodles he had brought with him and cut some dried meat.
After washing some vegetables quickly, he started boiling water and said:
"There's only instant noodles tonight, don't argue with the chef."
Lu Cheng had had enough fun with Wei Yan, so he picked up the unfinished book and replied:
"Then I'll do the washing of the dishes."
