Wang Tianxiao thought for a moment, then dragged the jackal's carcass into the oak forest, intending to find a small pit to bury it.
Since it's over, and the matter was started because of him, let's give him one last act of kindness.
It has nothing to do with anything else, it's just for peace of mind.
It's just to ease my conscience.
He finally found a small hole, squatted at the entrance and looked around for a while. He couldn't see the bottom, so he figured it must be very deep. He then threw the jackal's carcass into the hole.
It took a long time before we heard the sound of it landing.
There shouldn't be any problems.
He turned around and patted Ah Ying's head. "Let's go, Ah Ying. This will avenge Da Hei, and it will also help your two children."
As if she understood Wang Tianxiao's meaning, Aying murmured a few times.
A man and a dog headed back the way they came.
They had only walked a short distance, and hadn't even left the oak grove, when suddenly Ah Ying seemed to smell something and started barking wildly at the distance again.
Immediately afterwards, he ran straight ahead.
"Ah Ying!"
Wang Tianxiao hurriedly followed, running all the way, and found that Aying had stopped in front of a small cave and was shouting into it.
Wang Tianxiao picked up his gun and walked into the cave. He found that the entrance was too small for a bear to hide inside, and then he felt relieved.
Now that he has a gun, he's not afraid of anything else, except bears.
Judging from the entrance, it was probably the burrow of some kind of weasel. He pulled Ah Ying away, ready to leave. They had already hunted so many jackals, and the harvest was already quite good. There was no need to continue worrying about these few little creatures.
But just then, a tiny thing suddenly crawled out of the hole. It looked a bit like a puppy, but its head was more pointed than a puppy's.
Upon seeing Wang Tianxiao and Aying, the little guy was still very enthusiastic, running over and sniffing Wang Tianxiao's feet incessantly.
"Waaah~"
When Ah Ying saw the little guy, she immediately bared her teeth and looked menacing.
Be prepared at any time for it to pounce on you and bite you to death.
Wang Tianxiao gave a wry smile.
It really is...
When will this cycle end?
He encountered the jackal again.
He suddenly understood why the jackal had been looking in this direction until its death; it was probably thinking of its cubs.
The little jackal had witnessed Wang Tianxiao kill its mother last time, so it hated Wang Tianxiao very much. This time, however, the little jackal hadn't seen that and was still quite cute.
Moreover, perhaps because it has never seen humans or even dogs, it has no sense of wariness towards humans or dogs.
Just as Wang Tianxiao was struggling with this, another identical little jackal ran out from inside. This one was even clumsier and couldn't control its body. It fell down after running a few steps, then got up and continued running.
It ignored Ah Ying's fierce appearance and kept moving closer to her.
Ah Ying impatiently brushed it away with her mouth, watching it roll around on the snow.
But soon, the little guy will come up again, still looking silly.
"Ah Ying, let's go."
Wang Tianxiao called out to Aying, then turned and strode out of the oak grove.
He didn't know if the two motherless jackal cubs would starve to death, or even become food for other animals.
I can't worry about that.
If it were a docile little animal, he might take it home and keep it, but with a jackal, it's hard to say.
What if the child turns out to be a bad thing? Wouldn't that cause more trouble?
As for killing the two little ones directly, he couldn't do that either.
Okay, he just can't do it.
No matter what, he couldn't kill these two tiny animals that were just learning to walk.
Let's leave everything to fate.
If they can survive in this harsh environment, that's their skill; if they can't, it's natural selection.
That's settled then.
When Wang Tianxiao returned to Shan'ao Hua, Cui Wanshan had already gathered the previous items together and temporarily covered them with snow.
If too much blood remains, the wild boars definitely won't come tomorrow.
Wild boars also have an extremely strong sense of smell.
Often, to hunt wild boars, you need to be downwind of them.
If the scent hadn't been left upwind, the wild boars would have scattered and wouldn't have come any closer.
However, burying these bodies also has its downsides.
Because the skin and internal organs were not removed in time, it is basically unusable.
I estimate that once we collect it, we'll only be able to freeze it and feed it to the dogs. If people eat it, the meat won't taste good, and it will be harmful to their health.
"Has it been dealt with over there?"
Cui Wanshan asked with a smile, explaining that he had processed a wolf cub, which was perfect for roasting.
Although the wolf meat tasted so-so, the wolf cub meat was still very tender, and with the seasonings they brought, it was alright.
Wang Tianxiao sat down beside him and warmed his hands over the fire.
"Yes, it's been taken care of."
"That's good. It's a relief. It's really a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road. Why did it have to come and cause trouble?
"That's exactly what I meant."
Wang Tianxiao nodded and then told Cui Wanshan about seeing the little jackal earlier.
Cui Wanshan was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "How can I put this? It really is a case of vengeance begetting vengeance. If it weren't for the fact that it was a jackal, a beast, we would have thought you had some kind of grudge in your past lives."
"Yes, that's what I meant."
Wang Tianxiao gave another bitter laugh, thinking of the two little ones looking so pitiful, and said helplessly, "I guess if we leave them there, they probably won't survive. It's so cold, and they don't have the ability to hunt."
