This kind of soup was most suitable to be eaten with dry bread. It just so happened that Li Du had brought a pile of dry bread for Godzilla. In case he did not eat well, he could eat this to fill his stomach.
He took out a box of dry bread and scooped a bowl of hot sausage juice. As it had been simmered long enough, the soup in the pot had turned into a thick sauce.
When he put the dry bread in, it quickly became soft and absorbed the thick sauce, becoming sweet and fragrant.
Godzilla couldn't wait to stuff a big piece into his mouth. The soup was boiling hot, and he opened his mouth to breathe, but then he still swallowed it down.
Brother Wolf, who was testing the temperature of the soup, saw this scene and could not help but say, "What a tough guy!"
He could not stand eating at such a high temperature.
The temperature in the national park in autumn was very low, especially in the middle of the night. They had to lean in front of the campfire to warm up their bodies.
Under such circumstances, the hot food cooled down very quickly.
They had to eat it while it was hot, otherwise the sausage juice would not be as delicious.
Ivana hid in her father's arms and ate with her back to Li Du and the others. She lifted her veil, took a bite, and said, "Daddy, it's delicious."
Her voice was crisp, like big drops of rain falling into a puddle in spring, with the lingering sound of water splashing. It was pleasant to listen to.
This was the first time Li Du had heard her speak. Indeed, the charm of delicious food was irresistible.
Brother Wolf muttered, "I can eat all the same."
Although he said that, he did not hold back when eating. He dipped the bread into the sausage juice and ate in big mouthfuls. From time to time, he would put a piece of sausage into his mouth, his cheeks puffed up.
Li Du laughed, "Don't eat until you're full. We still have dried pot lamb. I dare say that this will be even better."
The sausage pot and dried pot lamb made the group's stomachs warm.
This was more suitable for sleeping. Li Du waved his hand and said, "Don't wake me up. I'm going to sleep more tonight and wake up naturally."
He worked hard in the afternoon and evening. Most of the easy-to-dig fire opals had been dug out. The remaining ones were either too deep to dig out or low-quality turbid opals.
He had also marked the turbid opals and planned to dig them out with Godzilla when he woke up.
Godzilla said to Brother Wolf, "Two hours for you and two hours for me. We'll take turns."
Brother Wolf shook his head and said, "You sleep, I'll settle it."
Godzilla said stubbornly, "No need. This is the rule. Two hours per person."
Brother Wolf said, "This is my duty. You go to sleep."
Li Du also said, "Godzilla, go to sleep. You have to continue working with me tomorrow. Let Brother Wolf rest then."
Just as he was about to enter the tent, Ah Ow, who was lying on the ground and dozing off, suddenly jumped up from the ground and stared in the northwest direction with her eyes wide open.
After a few seconds, Ah Meow also jumped up and looked northwest.
The night sky was beautiful. The moon was bright, and the stars were sparse. The silvery moonlight shone on the ground, and visibility was relatively high.
Li Du looked to the northwest. At first, he did not see anything. It was not until Brother Wolf reminded him that he noticed a blurry figure.
"Wolf!"
Yes, it was a wolf.
The wolf swaggered closer, but it did not walk in a straight line. Instead, it lowered its head and sniffed the ground. It moved forward and backward, left and right, gradually approaching them.
Li Du recognized its identity. The last time they were digging for fire opals, this wolf had also appeared. It was a wolf.
Brother Wolf whistled nervously, motioned for his daughter to enter the tent, and said, "Boss, you go in too. Leave the outside to me."
Li Du waved his hand and said, "Don't be afraid. This wolf is a lone ranger. There is no pack of wolves following it."
Brother Wolf said seriously, "It's precisely this kind of wolf that is scary. If it was a pack of wolves, they would be afraid of our numbers and the fire. They would not dare to come close, but a lone wolf is different.
"A lone wolf is either expelled from a pack of wolves or has great strength. Either way, if it wants to survive alone, it has to overcome its fear and dare to launch a suicidal attack.
"In this case, no matter how many people there are or the fire, it is not afraid!"
Brother Wolf said quickly and then waved his hand persistently. "You guys hide in first. I will take care of it."
Li Du did not expect a wolf to be so dangerous. Last time, he did not think too much about it. Instead, he felt that a wolf was easier to deal with than a pack of wolves.
He was already clear about Brother Wolf's strength. With Brother Wolf's ability and courage, he was so nervous in the face of a lone wolf and said so many words to explain. It was enough to show the threat of a lone wolf.
Li Du was not afraid, and Ah Meow was even less afraid. To him, this wolf was just a defeated opponent.
He disdainfully kicked away a piece of broken stone with his front paw and strode forward with his vigorous cat-like steps.
Li Du scooped him up. Last time, he did not keep an eye on him and let him fight with the wild wolf. This time, he had to watch carefully.
Ocelots were very powerful, that was true, but definitely not as powerful as a wild wolf. Besides, this was the wilderness, not the forest. It was the wild wolf's home ground. Last time, it could only be said that it was lucky that it was able to sneak a win.
This time, Li Du could not let it take the risk again.
Brother Wolf frowned as he looked at the approaching wild wolf. When the wild wolf approached them, it stopped and then lowered its head to sniff around.
Ah Ow stared at it with wide eyes. Seeing that it had stopped, she suddenly pounced forward, opened her mouth and howled, "Owww!"
The little girl hiding at the entrance of the tent waved. "Puppy, come quickly, don't stay outside!"
Li Du did not care about Ah Ow. Ah Ow was not Ah Meow. She was not aggressive. She just saw that Li Du was there and saw that there were many people around, so she howled a few times to show off.
Ah Meow was a warmonger. If there was a disagreement, he would start a fight. Ah Ow was a lackey. She only knew how to howl.
Sure enough, after jumping a step forward, she did not wait for Li Du to call her. She ran backward on her own.
The wild wolf did not care about them. It sniffed the ground for a while, circled around them, and kept twitching its nose to sniff something.
Brother Wolf watched for a while and suddenly slapped his forehead. "There's no danger. It's not here to hunt. It's here to find a mate."
"What?"
Brother Wolf said, "It's smelling the scent of urine left behind by the female wolf, which is the scent left behind by Ah Ow."
Li Du asked doubtfully, "Really? Wolves go into estrus during this season? "
Brother Wolf nodded. "Yes, autumn is the peak season for wolves. Estrus can also occur in December, January, and February. This wolf is far away from the pack and can't find a mate. It's here to find one."
Ah Ow was still hopping there. From time to time, she would take a step forward and then quickly retreat. Just like that, she would rush forward and retreat while howling. She looked very brave. Li Du had a headache.
He went over and gave her a kick. He scolded, "Hurry up and behave yourself. It's all your fault for peeing. Now you've attracted a pervert. Hurry up and come back. Don't get f * cked by him!"
