Chapter 80 caused a sensation throughout the village.
The next day, at eight o'clock, at the Li family compound.
The Li family once again became the focus of the entire village.
A wolf king weighing over 100 pounds, along with three wolf carcasses weighing 60-70 pounds each, lay conspicuously in the Li family compound, on a pile of thick snow.
To prevent the wolves from rotting, Li Xiangdong had already cut open the four wolves' bellies the night before and emptied their internal organs. Now all he had to do was skin the four wolves.
So that Li Xiangyang could take it to Wuzhen to sell for money.
at this time,
The courtyard and surrounding area were already filled with herders who came to watch the spectacle. Every herder who saw the wolf king's enormous body couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"Good heavens, is this the wolf king? It's huge!"
Li Xiangdong stood to the side, looking serious as he carefully skinned the wolf. He didn't answer any of the questions asked of him, appearing very aloof, but in reality, his heart was already churning with turmoil.
He felt very proud as he listened to the exclamations of praise from the crowd around him.
But he didn't know how to respond, so he could only pretend to be aloof.
"I say the Li family is really capable. They not only drove away the wolves, but also killed the wolf king. Look at how big that wolf king was!"
That's truly remarkable, absolutely remarkable!
An elderly herdsman with gray hair pointed at the wolf king's carcass on the ground, praising it repeatedly.
When he was young, he also went with the team to chase wild boars and hunt wolves.
It is clear how difficult it is for just three or five people to repel a wolf pack and kill the wolf king.
"Of course, Li Zhenshan was a top performer in our team before, and now his youngest son is even more remarkable."
He recently hunted a red deer all by himself, so I guess he was the one who killed this wolf king too!
A middle-aged male herdsman next to the old herdsman, holding a copper pipe and wearing a black-gray cotton coat, immediately chimed in.
His home wasn't far from the Li family's, so when Li Xiangyang hunted deer last time, he came over to join in the fun.
"Yes, I heard that he was the one who hit him."
This young man has a bright future ahead of him; you probably won't find another one like him on the entire team!
The two herdsmen spoke highly of the Li family and Li Xiangyang, making no mention of Li Xiangyang's past as a scoundrel for over twenty years.
This truly proves the saying: You just need to succeed, and great scholars will naturally come to debate the classics for you!
Of course, where there is praise, there will also be envy.
No sooner had the two old herders finished speaking than the young man behind them retorted indignantly:
"He was just lucky! He just happened to run into a deer and he just happened to have a gun with him. If I had that kind of luck, I could have shot a deer too, maybe even a bigger one than him."
After the young man finished speaking, he noticed that the two girls beside him were starting to secretly look at him, which energized him even more, and he raised his voice:
"And those wolves, they were lucky last night they didn't dare attack my sheepfold, otherwise I would have wiped them out."
"Forehead......?"
The two elderly herdsmen turned around and glanced at the boy behind them who was spouting nonsense. They looked at each other, smiled, and said nothing.
I thought to myself, this young man just loves to brag!
Last night, Old Zhang's family had several men and two guns, yet their ranch was still completely ransacked by wolves, and even their men were injured!
Seeing that no one paid attention, the young man felt it was pointless to talk to himself, so he turned around and left, followed by the other herders who had finished watching the commotion.
The rest were some curious children and people who wanted to buy some wolf meat to try.
Although wolf meat is tough and gamey, it is a rare and nourishing ingredient.
It is said to have the effect of warding off evil spirits and enhancing male virility.
Li Xiangdong was very fast at skinning the wolves, and in no time he had skinned all four wolves.
He was satisfied with all three wolf pelts, but when he looked at the pelt of the wolf king, which was full of holes, he couldn't help but frown, shake his head, and sigh.
"Sigh... I should have known... I shouldn't have slashed at the wolf king's body last night. So many holes, what a waste of such a big wolf pelt... Sigh..."
Li Xiangdong felt a pang of heartache. This intact wolf king pelt should have sold for at least sixty yuan, which was sixty yuan in 1980!
That's equivalent to four months' wages for an average person!
Just as Li Xiangdong was frowning in worry, two middle-aged men and women and a young woman hurriedly squeezed through the crowd, saying urgently:
"Xiang Dong, did it go well when you drove away the wolves last night?"
"What about when we build our nation?"
"And what about my Liren?"
Upon hearing the question, Li Xiangdong immediately looked up and saw that Li Xiangyang's father-in-law, mother-in-law, and his brother-in-law Zhao Liren's wife, Sun Caifeng, had all come over.
Greatly surprised, she immediately called out into the house, "Mom, Lijuan and Xiulan, come out quickly!"
Wang Guiying was at home greeting guests early in the morning. When she heard that the Li family had hunted a few wolves, many friends came to her house to see them. Those who were on good terms with her were naturally invited inside for milk tea.
Even the brigade cadres came to check on the situation. She had only just found a moment of free time after being busy until now, and wanted to come out and see how Li Xiangdong was doing. She was surprised to see the three people's anxious eyes and exclaimed in surprise:
"Ah...isn't this our in-laws and Caifeng? What brings you all here? It's cold outside, please come inside and sit down."
"No...it's nothing, I'm not cold. Where's Jianguo now? Is he alright?"
"Where is my Liren?"
"It's alright...it's alright, they're all fine. They didn't say a word last night and are resting in their room now."
Wang Guiying spoke with a smile, then casually pointed to the four wolf carcasses on the ground and said:
"He even helped fight off a few wolves."
"This...this, is this what they did last night?"
Liu Guangyao was so worried about Liu Jianguo that he didn't notice what was on the ground.
Wang Guiying reminded him, and when he turned around, he was shocked.
Four skinned wolves were hung up straight. Although they were all dead, their sharp snouts and fangs still made a strong visual impact.
"Ah!" Sun Caifeng was even more startled.
I quickly covered my eyes with my hands, not daring to look any further.
Sun Caifeng then went to the east room to find Zhao Liren. Liu Jianguo and Li Xiangyang were sleeping in the west room, and since it was inconvenient for the two elders to go there, they went into the middle room with Wang Guiying.
at this time,
Besides Li Zhenshan, there were several unfamiliar men in the middle room, who were probably other relatives of the Li family. One of them was someone Liu Guangyao knew; he was Li Zhenshan's second younger brother, Li Zhenhai.
"The house is so lively! No wonder Jian Guo didn't go home this morning."
"Guangyao, come and sit down." Seeing that it was his in-laws, Li Zhenshan smiled broadly and pointed to the people around him, introducing them as follows:
"This is our brigade secretary Chen, this is our militia captain Zhou, and this is my second brother, you know him."
"Oh, it's the Party Secretary and the team leader. Hello, hello." Upon hearing that they were brigade cadres, Liu Guangyao was first surprised, but then immediately greeted them politely.
He never expected that the Li family would have such influence in the team, with even the brigade secretary and the militia captain coming to visit their home...
To know,
Since Liu Xiulan married into the Li family two years ago, her family has been ridiculed a lot in Liujia Village because of their in-law relationship with the Li family.
