Although wolf meat may not be that delicious, in this day and age, there is not even a drop of fat in the stomach, so it is just meat.

There are less than 200 households in Hetou Village, and each household can share more than two kilograms of meat and meat in the water.

This is a huge happy event in Hetou Village.

In the past, during festivals, most people just bought a little bit of pork, which was symbolic.

While the villagers were happily collecting meat, Chen Xiaobei was busy working at home.

Before going to the county town to sell wolves, he first checked the serial crossbow that the team members returned last night.

Then he counted the number of arrows.

Grandma's, I consumed more than 200 sticks last night. A bunch of losers.

Of course, some were missed and eventually picked up, but the tips of these arrows were deformed and needed to be polished before they could be used again.

But these tasks are hard work and need to be done slowly by yourself.

After counting, the beginning of winter is here.

He was holding a wolf leg in one hand and a wolf skin in the other, "Brother Xiaobei, this meat is yours."

Chen Xiaobei was slightly surprised. He knew very well that normally, he wouldn't be able to share so much. "Brother Lidong, this is a bit too much. There are so many people in the village. It's not good for me to be special."

Lidong chuckled, "These are what the brothers have discussed. Without your leadership, let alone eating meat, we would all have to feed the wolves."

Well, in this case, it’s better to be respectful than to obey.

Chen Xiaobei smiled slightly at Cui Hongyu, and then Cui Hongyu stepped forward and took the wolf's leg.

Lidong conveniently handed over the wolf skin.

"Hongyu, this wolf skin is a good thing. It will keep you warm when you make a fur coat. Brother Xiaobei often goes up the mountain and will need it."

Chen Xiaobei shook his head, "Well, no, we agreed to make some fur coats and give them to the brothers in the village protection team."

"No, Brother Xiaobei, this is also the intention of the brothers in the village protection team." Lidong explained forcefully again.

Chen Xiaobei's attitude was very firm, "No, giving me wolf legs is already a special thing. You can't give me another piece of skin. Let's do this. Let Hong Yu make the fur coat. After it is finished, put it in the village protection team." , whoever is on duty wears it.”

These words made Lidong stand in awe of Chen Xiaobei.

Logically speaking, if Chen Xiaobei wanted not only one skin, but all the skins, it would be hard for the team members to say anything. After all, the meat would be divided among the others. The serial crossbow is also given to everyone for free.

But now, people take the initiative to take them out and make sure they are worn by the village protection team members. This is really caring about the team members. With such a good leader, Hetou Village has a promising future.

"Okay, let's wait until the leather jacket is made." Lidong muttered a few words, turned around and left.

Cui Hongyu put down the wolf's legs, looked at the wolf skin, and sighed, "Hey, it's a pity. There are quite a few holes, but they can be repaired."

After hearing this, Chen Xiaobei smiled and scolded: "They are a bunch of losers. I told them to kick their legs, but they didn't listen. I will scold them later."

What he said made Cui Hongyu chuckle and laugh.

She came to the wall, turned the wolf skin over, turned it inside out, and hung it up. "This wolf skin needs to be dried more often to get rid of the fishy smell."

Well, I really can’t tell that Cui Hongyu is still an expert.

Not to mention, the smell brought by the wolf skin is really strong, and the whole yard is filled with a faint fishy stench.

The smell came, but the little animals in the yard were not calm anymore.

The first ones who were not calm were the two wild wolves that had awakened in the west courtyard. Although their limbs were tied and their mouths were tied, their bodies were still twisting hard and their eyes were still sharp.

It seems that the smell of their companions makes them excited and irritable.

As soon as they moved, the four puppies also took action immediately. Although they are small, their sense of smell is very sharp. This is normal. After all, when we say someone has a good nose, we will enthusiastically praise him for having a dog nose.

The four puppies rushed into the west courtyard first and came to the two wolves. They arched their bodies and let out low growls, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xiaobei burst into laughter. It seemed that the dog and the wolf were born to be enemies. It's just that these four dogs are only two or three months old at most. If they really fight, the wild wolf will not bite a child.

After roaring at the two wolves for a while, the four puppies turned back and barked at the wolf skins on the wall.

The goat and donkey, however, seemed very uneasy after smelling the bloody smell of the wolf. Especially the goat started to circle around the pile, bleating continuously as it turned.

Chen Xiaobei suddenly thought, "Hongyu, how about you take the wolf skin to Dachun's yard to dry it? You might scare the sheep."

After hearing his words, Cui Hongyu understood instantly and stepped forward to take off the wolf skin, "I never thought that a piece of wolf skin could scare a sheep like this."

Perhaps, this is what is called mutual growth and mutual restraint.

Chen Xiaobei packed up, set up the donkey cart, loaded up the two wild wolves, and headed towards the county town.

For safety reasons, Chen Xiaobei carried a serial crossbow, just in case the wild wolf went crazy and shot him directly.

At this time, Chen Ping's home.

After receiving three pounds of meat, he came quietly.

This time, Chen Ping was extra polite and even made a pot of tea that his grandfather would only drink during the Chinese New Year.

The two chatted for a few words and immediately got to the point.

"Three pounds, you said you had an idea last night. What did you mean?"

Chen Sanjin chuckled, "Brother, you have been the captain of the village protection team. You should know what the serial crossbow is?"

These words made Chen Ping confused, "You, what do you mean?"

"Brother, the serial crossbow is something only found in the military. If a common man hides a saber privately, he will be punished by exile. Not to mention he has so many serial crossbows. As long as you go to the county government and file a complaint, Ten serial crossbows, I think, not only to kill the nine tribes, but also to chop off his head."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping's eyes lit up and he couldn't help laughing.

"Yeah, how could I forget this? You are right, it is illegal to hide weapons privately, ten serial crossbows, hehe."

Thinking of Cui Hongyu's little appearance, Chen Ping's heart felt like a cat scratching his claws.

"Well, let's go to the county seat now. By the way, let's drive the donkey cart."

The government allocated donkey carts to the village, but Chen Ping never sent them to Chen Xiaobei. Of course, Chen Xiaobei was not in a hurry to get them. After all, donkeys had to eat grass.

Chen Xiaobei came to Liu Mansion, and this time the doorkeeper happened to be Liu Ziming and Liu Ziliang brothers. When they saw Chen Xiaobei, they greeted Chen Xiaobei warmly.

"Brothers, please inform Butler Liu about my two living wolves and see if he is interested."

The Liu brothers looked at each other in surprise. How could a farmer like Chen Xiaobei capture this thing alive?

Liu Ziming stepped forward, glanced at the donkey cart, and immediately laughed.
