Ren Xiaosu looked at the wolf king's strange expression and said, "If you don't want the Wolf King of Mount Kun, there are other things."
He then took out a pistol and asked, "Do you want this?"
The wolf king did not say anything, and its expression became calm again.
Ren Xiaosu put the gun away. The man and the wolf sat facing each other on the mountain path. The moonlight shone down from the sky, and the atmosphere was particularly harmonious.
"Do you want this?" Ren Xiaosu took out another bottle of antibiotics. This was what Lao Wang had given him before they parted. He did not get sick much now, but if the students got sick, he would have medicine to treat them.
However, the wolf king still did not respond.
A hammer, a shovel, a pot. Ren Xiaosu took out a series of dazzling items, but the Wolf King remained unmoved. Ren Xiaosu sighed and said, "If you're going to be so picky, we won't be able to continue with this exchange."
Wait, he had left out one thing. At this time, Ren Xiaosu took out a small bottle of black medicine from his storage space. "Do you want this?"
When he said this, he did not have much hope. Ren Xiaosu pulled out the cork, but the wolf king sniffed the air and suddenly nodded at Ren Xiaosu.
Ren Xiaosu was stunned. This wolf king could really understand human language?
He threw the small porcelain bottle over, but the wolf king got up with it in its mouth. Ren Xiaosu finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he would not be short of meat in the future. "I didn't expect you to need this kind of thing in the prime of your life."
When the wolf king heard this, there was some doubt in its eyes. It seemed that it had not realized what Ren Xiaosu had given it, but the smell in the air had an inexplicable attraction to it.
It was not the smell of the medicine that attracted it, but the inexplicable sense of mystery from the black medicine that came from the palace.
The man and the wolf parted ways. After a short exchange, Ren Xiaosu felt that he should be closer to the wolf king. At the very least, they were trading partners.
It was fine as long as they weren't enemies.
That night, in the latter half of the night, everyone at the outpost was suddenly jolted awake by the concentrated howls of wolves. Everyone put on their clothes and walked out of the bungalow to look at the mountains. They could not tell where the howls were coming from.
Li Qingzheng, who was draped in his military coat, wondered, "What's wrong with these wolves in the middle of the night? They've been howling for more than an hour. Could they be hunting?"
Ren Xiaosu felt a little guilty. "He's probably hunting. Who knows?"
"Don't tell me they're calling for their companions to attack the outpost?" someone wondered.
"That won't be necessary. Why would they need to summon their companions to attack our outpost? With just a few hundred of them charging at us, we'll be dead," someone said.
"Aren't you looking down on us too much?" a soldier said.
Ren Xiaosu said seriously, "This is called having a clear understanding of oneself …"
However, Ren Xiaosu felt a little guilty. This was because he suspected that the wolves' abnormal behavior might have something to do with the black medicine he had given the Wolf King.
For the next two days, the Wolf King did not send any new prey to them. The remaining goat had its unclean parts shaved off. Li Qingzheng and the others continued to eat with relish, but Ren Xiaosu could not bring himself to eat it.
It was not a matter of whether it was dirty or not. In Ren Xiaosu's opinion, it represented a form of trampling on the high and mighty members of the consortiums.
Of course, it was mainly because he was not hungry.
Li Qingzheng sat by the campfire and looked at the remaining goat skeleton. He sighed and said, "I wonder what's wrong with the wolves. They're not sending us any food anymore."
"They might be exhausted." Ren Xiaosu sighed. He wondered if he should explain the effects of the medicine to the Wolf King when he gave it the medicine. After all, there was a difference between external use and internal use.
Seeing that the Wolf King did not even send any more prey after taking the medicine, did it bear a grudge against him?
But that night, while Ren Xiaosu was sleeping, he suddenly heard the sound of something being unloaded from outside. Ren Xiaosu looked out the window and saw the wolves had come over. They had thrown several goats, wild boars, pheasants, and everything else onto the ground! There was even a rich variety of them!
Just by looking at the quantity, not only did they make up for the lack of food over the past two days, but they even gave them a lot more!
After the wolves left, the entire outpost was shocked. A soldier looked at Li Qingzheng. "Are you really the Wolf King of Mount Kun?"
Even Li Qingzheng was shocked. "Could I really be the Wolf King of Mount Kun?"
Those who did not know the truth were in awe of Li Qingzheng. Meanwhile, the students who knew the truth looked at Ren Xiaosu with a complicated gaze.
A student asked, "Monitor, how did you do it?"
"Perhaps the Wolf King found out that my master is sick, so he sent him more prey to help him recuperate," Chen Wudi said with a sigh.
"I'm not fucking sick in the head," Ren Xiaosu snapped.
He guessed that the Wolf King might have sent him so much prey to express his gratitude. He did not expect the Wolf King to have such a hidden illness.
At this moment, someone said, "How long will it take to eat this? Fortunately, it's winter now, so it can be stored for a longer period of time."
"But we can't just leave it there forever. Let's make some cured meat." Ren Xiaosu sighed and said, "It won't be a problem for us to eat it until spring next year."
The group of people were busy skinning and cutting the meat. However, the salt they brought along with them was not enough, and they did not have any seasonings either.
Usually, to make cured meat, the meat would be cut into strips and the surface would have to be rubbed with salt before it could be dried. There was no need to worry about wasting salt. After all, all the salt needed by the human body was in the meat, so eating meat was equivalent to supplementing the body's salt.
Ren Xiaosu said, "When the supplies arrive in two days, we'll trade the meat for some salt and seasonings. We can't finish all of this meat anyway."
"That won't do." Li Qingzheng whispered, "You'll suffer a great loss if you trade with those ruffian soldiers. Why don't we sell it in town? Not only can we buy more salt, but we can also earn quite a bit of money. If we bring more back with us, the winter in the mountains won't be so tough for us. "
Ren Xiaosu looked at Li Qingzheng, who was very familiar with the private troops' habits. Li Qingzheng said, "Let's sneak back to town in two days. Don't y 'all still have companions in town? We can bring some cured meat for them too. It'll be a little hard to get through the winter without meat."
"OK." Ren Xiaosu nodded in agreement. This was also a chance for him to go back to town to see Yan Liuyuan and the others. If Yan Liuyuan and the others encountered any difficulties, Ren Xiaosu would be able to help them solve it together.
Everyone was working in the open space in front of the outpost. Li Qingzheng weighed the meat in his hand and sighed. "This is a little more blissful than my days in town."
"Master, what do you mean by blissful?" Chen Wudi asked Ren Xiaosu.
Li Qingzheng was amused. "Isn't blissful just having meat to eat?"
Ren Xiaosu glanced at Li Qingzheng and whispered to Chen Wudi, "Everyone's blissful life is different. Were you happy when you were subduing demons?"
"Yes!" Chen Wudi said.
"Mhm, that's blissful life," Ren Xiaosu said.
"Understood!"
