Since the drought began, people have frequently been attacked by animals. In order to clean their wounds, each village has started making their own handmade soap, so cleaning wounds is not as difficult as before.
"Don't be afraid of the pain. Open up the wound and clean it thoroughly." Yunnan medicine doctors would repeatedly emphasize this to each villager who was having their wounds treated, fearing that people might be unable to bear the pain and just go through the motions.
“Yes, if there is bleeding, you must squeeze out some blood to reduce the chance of getting rabies.” Yunqi brought over the uninjured villagers from Pinghe Village to help.
Apart from a few wounds inflicted by wolves, most of the injuries were minor scratches.
This was also thanks to the fact that everyone worked together to hunt during this period. They always cooperated in groups and did not fight a wolf alone, which prevented major casualties.
After they finished treating the wounds, Dr. Xia also used her refined high-proof alcohol and catgut to disinfect and suture the large wounds.
The wounds were being cleaned methodically, and Si Cheng led his men to check all the wolves to prevent any from appearing to be dead.
Yun Qiao and his friends also curiously counted the number of wolves.
"Two hundred and seventeen, my goodness, this number is beyond my imagination, it breaks our record." After Gao Baiyun finished counting, he bit his finger in surprise.
Highlighted: "With such a large wolf pack, the wolf king must be very powerful?"
"It's a pity we didn't get to see the Wolf King's magnificence; he must have been incredibly imposing." Gu Mili smacked her lips, feeling a little disappointed.
His cousin, Gao Baiyun, slapped him on the shoulder. "What are you thinking? Not to mention that the wolf king has already been blasted to pieces by Brother Cheng, even if it were still alive, you wouldn't be able to see it. Do you think the wolf king is so easy to approach? Before you could even get close enough to see it clearly, you were KO'd by its henchmen."
"Brother, I was just thinking about it. How could I possibly have the guts to approach the Wolf King? Aside from our Brother Cheng, who can handle him, we'd just be food for him." After saying that, he looked at Si Cheng, who was not far away, with admiration.
Yun Qiao said, "So there are more than 217 wolves, plus the wolf king and its guards that were blown away."
Village Chief Zheng witnessed Si Cheng charging forward and throwing a grenade.
He muttered to himself, "This Pinghe Village is really not to be underestimated. It has not only military force, but also firearms."
Standing next to him, Accountant Liu thought of something else. Her hands were still trembling slightly. "Luckily we met Village Chief Si and his men, otherwise our whole village would have been in trouble."
"That's right. Even when several villages joined forces to fight, they suffered so many injuries. We, the old and young, simply couldn't resist them." The old lady next to her trembled as she hugged her little grandson tightly.
Village Chief Zheng nodded, "We owe them a huge favor again. They saved our lives twice."
The elderly people in the neighborhood nodded in agreement. Old Liu, the accountant, said, "Village chief, when we get back, I want to give them our share for free, as a way of repaying them for saving our family for four generations."
"Sister, how can you be the only ones to pay? Count us in too," the surrounding elderly people chimed in, expressing their gratitude.
When danger struck, they protected the elderly and children to the safest place, while they rushed to the front. Otherwise, given their physical condition, they would have surely been eaten by wolves.
Village Chief Zheng said, "How can we let you bear this burden yourselves? Our entire village has been indebted to you, and we must repay this debt collectively. I am well aware of all this."
After a night of fussing and turning, dawn slowly broke.
Si Cheng looked at the rows of wolves, then at the bandaged wounded soldiers, none of whom seemed to be in good spirits. "It seems we won't be able to leave today. Let everyone take turns resting."
The others, no longer in the mood to travel, readily agreed.
Captain Liu secretly squeezed next to Si Cheng, "Village Chief Si, how come you have such a powerful thing? Where did you get it?"
Si Cheng glanced at him. "It wasn't stolen or robbed, so this doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, does it?"
Captain Liu waved his hands vigorously, "It's okay, it's okay, I was just curious. These kinds of things would never be taken out."
Yunqi said, "Sometimes curiosity kills the cat. Even if you have nine lives, it's not enough to kill you, right? It's better to be less curious and live longer."
Captain Liu said, "No, I didn't mean anything by it, and I won't report it. It's just that your place has been exposed, and someone will definitely come to ask about it. You'd better be aware of this."
Si Cheng then turned to look at him, "Why is no one still in charge of this stuff these days?"
Captain Liu said, "No one will care until it's used, but you've shown yourself in front of so many people for the sake of local safety. My old superior will definitely look into it."
Yunqi said, "Dong-ge planted landmines before, why didn't you guys even bother to check on them? So it's like this is something that needs to be managed by someone else?"
Captain Liu was speechless when asked the question. After a long while, he slowly said, "Anyway, it's never wrong for you to be prepared in advance. If there is any stock left, it would be best to make a report as well."
Si Cheng understood the other party's good intentions and sincerely thanked them, "Thank you for the reminder, but we obtained this item through legitimate means, and we still have one on hand. We will not take it out unless we are in dire need."
Captain Liu didn't want to pry. Looking at the large pack of wolves in front of him, he asked, "How come there's such a big pack here? Wasn't there a drought here before?"
“We don’t know what’s inside these endless mountain ranges, but it certainly won’t be as arid as it is outside. And with such a large population, they must have secured the best water sources.” Si Cheng noticed that he wasn’t focusing on that topic, so he casually started chatting with him.
"I wonder if anyone still lives around here. Otherwise, given how ferocious these animals are, who knows what kind of trouble we would have suffered?" Captain Liu said, still feeling lingering fear. Although they hadn't been stingy with their bullets, they hadn't hit many of them. In the end, they had to use machetes instead.
Si Cheng couldn't answer this question either. "I hope that everyone living nearby has followed the south and can take advantage of the rest day to pack everything up together."
"Let Amon and the others do the work. They're experts at making furs, and these things will be very useful in the future, so don't waste them."
Upon hearing about processing, Yunqi immediately thought of the furs that Amon had brought down the mountain last time. The processing method was not much different from that of the furs he had bought outside before. It seems that others also have their own unique methods.
Sicheng had previously compared the furs made in his own village with those made by Amon and his group, and found that they were not in the same league in terms of appearance or completeness.
