Chapter 530 Extra: The Disciplined Wolf Pack
Knowing that Xie Hanchuan and the others were on guard against them, the creatures, having eaten their fill, knelt down before Lin Luoxi, let out a low growl, and then bypassed Xie Hanchuan and the others, disappearing into the forest at the speed of the wind.
"Wife, are you alright!" Xie Hanchuan saw the wolf pack leave and immediately ran to Lin Luoxi, looking her up and down, afraid that she might be hurt.
"Mom, are you alright?" The five children ran to Lin Luoxi with concern, looking at her anxiously.
"It's alright, look, I'm perfectly fine now. I guess the wolves couldn't find any food because of the long snowfall, so they came looking for the smell of my roasted rabbit," Lin Luoxi explained with a smile, seeing Xie Hanchuan and Xie Zhili's worry.
"Oh, Mother, you roasted the rabbit I gave you?" Xie Zhili's face almost broke down in tears when he heard Lin Luoxi's words.
"No way, I wouldn't bear to eat the rabbits you gave me, I'm keeping them here."
Lin Luoxi pointed to the white rabbit that was hiding under her stool as the wolf pack approached.
"You went hunting in the mountains for so long, didn't you catch any game?" Lin Luoxi asked curiously as Xie Hanchuan and the others returned empty-handed.
"It's really hard to hunt in this heavy snow. Those animals are probably hiding in their burrows, not..."
Before Xie Hanchuan could finish speaking, his eyes turned toward the direction where the wolf pack had disappeared.
Lin Luoxi was shocked to see Xie Hanchuan suddenly stop talking and look up. She was also shocked to see Xie Hanchuan staring intently at a certain spot.
Seeing that Xie Hanchuan and Lin Luoxi were not speaking, the children looked up and followed their gaze.
"My God, did these wolves wipe out the wild boar's den?"
Xie Zhili and the others were stunned when they saw the wild boars dragging several wild boars over.
"Awooo!" The lead white wolf howled arrogantly at Lin Luoxi and her group when it saw Lin Luoxi looking in their direction.
"Hurry up and turn the fire up bigger, we're going to have roasted wild boar here today." Lin Luoxi saw the wolves dragging the wild boar quickly toward them and urged Xie Hanchuan to add more firewood to the fire.
She then took out the largest barbecue grill from her storage space and waited for the wolves to bring the wild boars over.
"Mother, should I go and help too?" Xie Zhili saw the wolf pack struggling to drag more than a dozen wild boars and wanted to go and help.
"Go ahead and help if you want!" Seeing that the pack of white wolves meant them no harm, Lin Luoxi felt reassured and let Xie Zhili and the other children go and help.
"Okay, thank you, Mom." With Lin Luoxi's permission, Xie Zhili and the other children happily ran over and, together with the wolf pack, dragged the wild boar over.
Xie Hanchuan piled the firewood high, put the large pot on it, and shoveled a lot of snow into the pot, which they would use later.
Seeing that the wild boar had been dragged close, he picked up the butcher knife and, while the boar was still breathing, quickly bled it out.
Pig's blood is a good thing. Lin Luoxi took out several large wooden basins from her space to catch the wild boar blood, added some salt, and quickly put it into her space after it solidified to prevent it from freezing into blocks.
Seeing that Xie Hanchuan couldn't handle it all by himself, Lin Luoxi rolled up her sleeves and joined the pig-slaughtering team.
Xie Zhili, Xie Zhiyan, Xie Zhiheng, Xie Zhichu, and Xie Leyao were assigned to burn the bristles off the wild boars.
With so many wild boars, if you scald their bristles with boiling water and scrape them off, your hands will be ruined.
The five children ran into the mountains, found some dry pine needles, brought them back, and started burning pig bristles.
For a time, the foot of the mountain was filled with the smell of burning wild boar bristles.
The white wolves dragged the wild boar over, but instead of immediately attacking it, they lay down by the fire and began to warm themselves.
It looks like they're going to stay and eat roasted wild boar.
Bleeding, gutting, burning pig hair—the whole process was enough to exhaust Lin Luoxi's family.
"Phew, damn it, we've only dealt with eight, there are still ten left." Lin Luoxi looked at the ten wild boars that hadn't been gutted yet, and she clutched her back, panting heavily.
"Wife, put the remaining ten into your spatial storage. We'll take them to the military camp later, or sell them. Eight wild boars should be enough for these wolves to eat."
Seeing Lin Luoxi covered in sweat, Xie Hanchuan said with concern.
“We can’t give them away or sell them. It’s snowing heavily now, so it’s not good to hunt. These wolves have been hungry for a long time. It would be too dishonest of us to sell the wild boars they hunt.”
"These ten wild boars will be left for them to eat tomorrow." If these wolves were to starve to death, the food chain in this mountain forest would be disrupted, and the villagers in this area would suffer the consequences.
"Okay, I'll listen to my wife." Xie Hanchuan agreed with Lin Luoxi's words and chose to listen to her.
Lin Luoxi spoke to the white wolf and, with its permission, put all ten wild boars that she hadn't had time to deal with into her spatial storage.
Xie Hanchuan and Lin Luoxi then chopped up the remaining eight wild boars.
"Little White, do you want it roasted or raw?" Lin Luoxi looked at the wild boar meat scattered on the ground and then looked at the wolf pack with some difficulty.
If I were to bake them all, I'd be exhausted today, and I might not even be able to finish.
"Awoo..." The white wolf stood up first, let out a low growl at Lin Luoxi, and then walked towards the wild boar meat that Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan had cut up.
"Phew, thankfully, they don't eat cooked food." Lin Luoxi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the wolves eating raw meat. She took some wild boar meat, went to the fire, washed the meat, and then put it in a basin to marinate with sauce.
Seeing the wolves devouring the wild boar meat, Lin Luoxi kindly filled several basins with spiritual water from her spatial storage and gave them to the wolves to drink.
The moment the water, brimming with life-giving energy, was brought out, the wolves immediately put down the meat in their mouths and looked at the basin of water.
The taste was similar to the rabbit meat they had eaten before.
They couldn't help but swallow hard and all looked at the white wolf.
"Huh, this wolf pack is quite disciplined." Lin Luoxi noticed that the wolves knew to check with the alpha wolf first, and only dared to drink after the alpha wolf gave its permission.
There were about a hundred wolves, and only a few basins of water. None of the wolves dared to monopolize the water; instead, they took turns drinking from them.
"Damn it, look at these wolves, they're really well-disciplined."
Xie Hanchuan took care of the barbecue, and Lin Luoxi, having nothing to do, liked to stare at the wolf pack. She couldn't help but marvel at how disciplined these wolves were, even more so than humans.
"Hmm, that means the white wolf is well-managed." Xie Hanchuan glanced at the white wolf, who was standing on a protruding rock, watching the gray wolves' every move, and said with certainty.
"Hmm, how about we take these wolves back and release them in the back mountains of Wutong Village?"
