Chapter 315: Applying Medicine
This wound is not easy to heal, and it definitely requires medicine.
Xiaomu is not like Huhu and Xuebing. She raised those two with great difficulty and they trust her completely and have no hostility towards her.
But Xiaomu grew up in the mountains and jungles, and no matter how much of a henpecked man he is, he is always wary of humans.
Zhao Yeqing was a little hesitant to apply medicine to it. What if she hurt it and it suddenly got up and scratched her? Who could bear that?
As she was hesitating, Xiaomu, who was lying injured on the ground, looked up at her weakly and actually showed her his back with confidence.
Mu Xi had to avoid the wound and put on his clothes after a while. "Come here, I'll apply medicine on it."
Mu Xi stood up and walked towards this side as he spoke, but Xiao Mu, who was lying on the ground, suddenly raised his head and looked alert.
Is this to guard against Mu Xi?
Zhao Yeqing stood there in a daze, blinking, "Could it be because I saved you?"
As soon as Mu Xi stepped back, the little woodpecker lowered its head and lay down again. As soon as Mu Xi moved forward, it raised its head again.
Zhao Yeqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Okay, both of you stop tossing each other around. I'll do it."
She squatted down, mumbling, "It hurts a little, bear with it, don't give me a claw."
Xiaomu's wound was on its hind leg, so Zhao Yeqing sprinkled light yellow medicine powder on it. The stimulation of the medicine powder made it twitch subconsciously, and Zhao Yeqing was also frightened.
But after a few pulls, there was no more reaction, so she felt at ease to continue applying the medicine, blowing gently on the wound while applying the medicine.
Logically speaking, suturing would be better, but she had never sutured a wound before, and she didn't dare to suture a leopard. She could only apply medicine first. With the leopard's recovery ability, it would definitely heal, but it would take longer.
After applying medicine and bandaging it, I thought about getting something for everyone to eat.
The two had eaten very full before, but now they can't eat anymore. However, several animals have consumed a lot of energy and are injured, so they need to eat more to replenish their energy.
Zhao Yeqing put on her coat again and went outside to get some meat from the freezer. The lights in the yard were still on, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw the red fox feasting on the wolf's corpse.
Yes, with three wolves, the leopards’ food will be better. They are not interested in wolves, but now the leopards have to eat a lot of meat every day, which is just enough as food for them.
He went forward and drove the fox away.
The red fox was driven away just after taking two bites. It was somewhat annoyed and wanted to attack Zhao Yeqing, but Zhao Yeqing, who was still in a fighting state and had not completely withdrawn, slapped it away with a shovel.
"Go away, you want to eat without doing anything? If it weren't for the fact that you served as a warning, you would have to become food too."
The wolf was already very thin. She dragged one into the house with one hand. She weighed it and estimated that it weighed only about 60 kilograms.
The moment the door opened, Huhu in the room smelled the scent of the red fox and rushed out, almost pounced on the red fox that was about to eat the corpse of the wolf leader.
The frightened red fox jumped out of the courtyard wall without looking back.
When Zhao Yeqing dragged the bodies of the three wolves to the door of the house and was preparing to cut them up and was considering whether to skin them, Mu Xi came out and offered to help.
"Don't come out if your hand is still injured. If you pull it, the wound will open wider and that will be troublesome. I can do it myself. I'm just considering whether to use the wolf skin."
The wolf's body had been placed in the snow and had frozen solid after a while, making it difficult to skin it. Besides, we couldn't drag it into the house and wait until it thawed before skinning it, otherwise the whole house would be covered in blood.
"Then forget it. Chop it all into pieces with an axe."
Mu Xi tried to lift the axe that Zhao Yeqing had placed beside him, but was stopped by Zhao Yeqing, "Go, go, go into the room, I can do it myself."
Chopping the frozen wolf skin into pieces is not much different from chopping firewood in difficulty.
Zhao Yeqing chopped off a whole wolf leg with his axe and handed it to Mu Xi, "Take it in to thaw first, and divide it up so they can eat it first."
The remaining wolf bodies were cut into pieces and put into the freezer. The freezer had a lot of space, and the pig that had just been killed only took up less than half of it.
This time, the three wolves were put in, filling up the entire freezer.
Zhao Yeqing took another wolf leg into the house, intending to let them eat more tonight.
Both dogs and leopards can eat wolf meat. The first leg has been cut up and placed in everyone's food bowl. When Zhao Yeqing went in, they were eating it with relish.
The two of them usually place several stainless steel basins on both sides of the door, and they will bring the meat they are going to eat in advance and put it in the basins to thaw.
She casually threw the wolf leg she had just brought in into the basin, washed her hands, took off her coat, and then lay back in the chair to truly relax.
Thinking back on this battle, Zhao Yeqing deeply realized the consequences of over-reliance on firearms. What if the gun jams again when the crisis comes next time?
The most important thing is to improve your own strength. Guns will run out of bullets one day. You will never go wrong by relying on your own hands, but you still need a weapon that suits you.
She used an axe today, and the damage she caused was not low, but it was a bit dangerous. If the wolves today were well fed and not starving and cold and emaciated, she would definitely not be able to remain unscathed.
It would be great if she could have a longer weapon, like the spear she made in Meishan. She had thought about making a spear some time ago, but every time she wanted to do it, she was delayed by various things.
The weapon characteristics of the spear can maintain a certain distance and better ensure one's personal safety. The spear is also relatively simple to use. Unlike archery, it does not require a long time of practice to be accurate enough.
Mu Xi sat next to her, holding her hands to keep them warm. When he heard her talking about weapons, he immediately thought about the materials needed to make a spear.
It is best to use metal for the spear head, so that it is sharp and strong enough. If that is not possible, you can use bone. There are a lot of wolf bones at home, which are quite hard.
The injuries after the battle are recovering steadily. Mu Xi cannot use one hand, so he has been making spears for Zhao Yeqing in the house these two days.
A spear is not difficult to make, it is just a long wooden stick with a sharp spear head.
The material for the spearhead has not yet been decided, but there is no shortage of wooden sticks at home.
I had said before that the firewood for the fireplace should be of higher hardness, so I chopped down several trees. Most of them had been chopped into small pieces, but some were still long pieces of wood.
Mu Xi went to select a piece of wood, and went back to the room to slowly polish it until it was smooth. The wooden handles had to be polished carefully, otherwise one would accidentally get pricked in the hand by small wooden splinters.
The thickness and length of the spear also have to be tailored according to Zhao Yeqing's hand size and height.
Just as the spear handle was almost finished, the walkie-talkie hanging on the waist suddenly rang.
