After the wolf king's torment over the past few days, Ren Xiaosu suspected that the wolf pack would expand again after two months …
When the wolf pack was hunting today, he noticed that the number of wolves had decreased significantly. It was possible that the missing wolves were all female wolves.
According to the usual pattern, it took about 63 days for a female wolf to give birth. For humans, this was too fast. He wondered if this natural cycle would change after these wolves evolved.
He followed the tracks left behind by the wolf pack into the mountains. Ren Xiaosu guessed that the wolf den shouldn't be too far away from the outpost because the wolf howls he heard the other night seemed to be very close.
However, he didn't go far when the wolf king suddenly appeared at the end of the mountain path, blocking Ren Xiaosu's way.
Ren Xiaosu had a feeling that the wolf king was also looking for him.
The wolf king let out a low whimper. Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment. "Are you here for me to help treat your companions?"
Wild beasts were very cautious when hunting in the wilderness because they could die from infection from a minor injury. Even the strongest species would find it difficult to resist bacteria. It had long been proven that bacteria were one of the most tenacious creatures in the world.
The world had been destroyed and reborn many times, but some bacteria had survived every time.
When Ren Xiaosu finished asking, he saw the wolf king nod.
Ren Xiaosu took out the black medicine. "This can treat injuries. I know your companions are injured. I can help you treat them."
The wolf king's puzzled expression seemed to be saying: This thing can treat injuries?!
Just now, Ren Xiaosu was thinking that humans could directly use their fingers to apply the medicine. What about wolves? Wolves usually relied on licking to treat injuries.
But if they relied on licking to apply the black medicine, wouldn't that be a bad thing …
At this moment, the wolf king seemed to hesitate for a moment, then turned around and led Ren Xiaosu into the mountains.
When they arrived at a leeward valley, Ren Xiaosu saw dozens of wolf cubs rolling on the grass. They weren't afraid of Ren Xiaosu. They had seen them on the run before, but there were more wolf cubs now.
It seemed like the wolf pack had not been idle along the way.
Of course, Ren Xiaosu could understand. After all, it was so easy to find food for the wolves now. There was no way to read books or play cards. There was no other entertainment.
When the pack of wolves saw Ren Xiaosu, they all made way for him. Ren Xiaosu was also very nervous as he walked through the pack of wolves. He could only suppress the fear in his heart and continue walking forward.
It could only be said that he was bold because he was skilled. If it were anyone else, they would not have dared to venture so deep into a wolf's den. It was not without reason that he was the only one who could survive in town by relying on hunting.
As he walked in, Ren Xiaosu saw six or seven wolves lying on the ground panting. The smell of blood permeated the air around them.
Although the bullets that pierced through their muscles could not cause fatal injuries, the prolonged pain and bleeding would slowly drag them into the abyss.
Ren Xiaosu glanced at the Wolf King beside him and said, "I have to remove the bullets from their wounds first. It must be very painful. You have to tell them not to bite me …"
The Wolf King shook its head. "Hurry up!"
Ren Xiaosu crouched down next to an injured male wolf and took out a small pair of pliers from his storage space. There was no need to worry about disinfecting the wounds since the wolves did not know how to disinfect them anyway.
To be honest, this was his first time doing this. As Ren Xiaosu probed the small pliers into the wound, he observed the reaction of the wolf beside him to prevent it from biting him if it was in pain.
However, to Ren Xiaosu's surprise, the wolf did not even let out a grunt even though its eyes were rolling back in pain.
"What a hero among wolves," Ren Xiaosu lamented. He had already used the pliers to probe the location of the bullet. The bullet had penetrated shallower than he had imagined, which meant the muscles of these wolves were stronger than he had imagined.
With a clang, Ren Xiaosu threw the bullet he had taken out onto a nearby rock. Then he casually applied some black medicine to the wound and was done with it.
The moment he applied the black medicine, Ren Xiaosu noticed that the wolf's trembling muscles were slowly relaxing due to the pain.
At this moment, the Wolf King's gaze changed when it saw the black medicine in Ren Xiaosu's hand!
By the time Ren Xiaosu finished treating the seven wolves, he was already sweating profusely. At this moment, he had also let go of his fear of the wolves. Ren Xiaosu said casually as he wiped his sweat, "Remember to send us some more game when you've recovered. We're planning to sell the meat into the stronghold and make more money so we can have a good New Year. Sister Xiaoyu and Liuyuan should get some new clothes …."
The Wolf King listened quietly from the side and ignored Ren Xiaosu. The man and wolf walked out of the wolf den.
Ren Xiaosu would never have dreamed that he would one day be able to enter and exit a wolf den so casually. After all, he had even treated the wolves as his imaginary enemies a few months ago.
"Alright, you don't have to send them off." Ren Xiaosu walked outside. "Remember to tell them not to eat spicy food, onions, ginger, and garlic …."
At this point, Ren Xiaosu suddenly paused. He looked at the snowy scenery in the mountains and sighed. His occupational disease was acting up again. Why the hell would wolves eat spicy food?
He had only been a doctor for a few days, but he had already developed an occupational disease.
Speaking of which, when he was in the town outside of Stronghold 113, he was the only doctor in the entire town. It sounded like he was the "hope of the entire village."
But in the end, he had become a veterinarian.
"But it's better for injured wolves to eat less mutton. You have to follow the doctor's advice, understand?" Ren Xiaosu took a deep breath and turned around to look at the Wolf King. "Remember to send us more of those pheasants with green feathers on their buttocks. That stuff tastes better than mutton. It's so fragrant!"
The Wolf King did not really want to hear what this blabbermouth had to say anymore. He turned around and returned to the wolf den.
On the way back, Ren Xiaosu felt that this kind of life was actually quite good. It was much better than being looked down upon by the people in the stronghold.
But just as he was about to return to the outpost, Ren Xiaosu suddenly heard that something was wrong in the outpost. Everyone should be asleep by now, so why was there still such a big fire?
When he went over to have a look, he saw everyone sitting around the campfire and eating barbecuing meat. An old man with white hair was sitting in the crowd.
When the old man saw Ren Xiaosu, he smiled and said, "You must be Ren Xiaosu. They said you went out to have diarrhea. It looks like you've been having it for quite some time."
Ren Xiaosu had instructed Chen Wudi that if anything unexpected happened, Chen Wudi could play it by ear and say that he went out to have diarrhea, so he should try his best not to get into a conflict.
From the looks of it, Chen Wudi was quite flexible. Ren Xiaosu called Chen Wudi over. "How long did I have the 'diarrhea' for?"
Chen Wudi counted with his fingers and said, "Six hours."
Ren Xiaosu was speechless.
Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment and did not know how to respond. He asked Chen Wudi again, "Who's this?"
Chen Wudi thought for a moment and said, "That old man from the land!"
Ren Xiaosu felt that he was really muddle-headed. How could he ask Chen Wudi about such a serious matter?
When Li Qingzheng saw Ren Xiaosu standing there motionlessly, he quickly came over and pulled him to sit down. In the process, Li Qingzheng muttered, "He's from the Li Consortium and is also here to investigate the disappearance of those two officers. We didn't even mention anything about the wolves during the day, so don't spread rumors."
Ren Xiaosu raised his eyebrows slightly. An old man actually dared to come here alone to investigate a case?
