At the open field area, the villagers gathered around the soldiers and the Li brothers who were busy skinning the wolves. Since they were the ones who killed the wolves, the leather and fur would be given to them.
The Li brothers each could get two leathers, and An Xuyuan got one leather, while the rest of the leather would be divided amongst the soldiers.
As for the meat and bones, each of them was given a whole wolf. The soldiers would take eight wolves back to the military, and the rest of the meat would be given to the production team.
While the production team only got five wolves and had to share them with everyone, they were delighted. After all, hunting wolves was dangerous, and they were thankful that the soldiers were willing to risk their lives to solve the hidden danger for them.
When Zhang Yulan and Zhang Ermu arrived, they had already finished dividing the haul. Since it was already late, Han Yuheng turned to the soldiers and said, "Comrade, how about staying for the night and returning tomorrow?"
The leader thought for a moment before he said, "Then, we will have to bother you, Comrade Han."
"It’s no trouble at all," Han Yuheng replied.
While the soldiers were still hunting in the mountain, Han Yuheng and the village elders had already prepared some houses for them to stay in, just in case they needed several days to hunt the wolf pack.
They expected that this matter would take at least five days to settle. Unexpectedly, it only took them a few hours to kill the pack of wolves.
After arranging several villagers to lead the way to the houses, Han Yuheng started distributing the meat and bones to the villagers. He used An Xuyuan’s method and distributed it based on households.
When everything was done, it was already ten o’clock in the evening.
At night, the weather was so cold that it made their bones ache. If not for several bonfires lit around them, they would have been frozen stiff from staying outside for so long.
After everyone returned to their homes, the village finally returned to tranquility.
Early in the morning the next day, Lu Jueyu woke up at sunrise and noticed the spot beside her was empty. She sat up while rubbing her eyes.
Yesterday, she waited for her husband until late, but he still hadn’t returned. She didn’t know when he came back and ended up falling asleep in the living room.
When she finished tidying herself and came out of the bedroom, she saw her husband and children were busy in the yard. Walking over, she asked, "Husband, what are you and the children doing? The weather is so cold, don’t stay out for too long."
Seeing his wife holding her big belly as she stood at the balcony, Li Chenmo quickly washed his hands and walked over. He held his wife’s hand and said, "We are processing the wolf meat."
Hearing this, Lu Jueyu asked, "Husband, has the wolf pack been killed?"
Li Chenmo nodded and replied, "We met with the pack not long after we entered the forest, and we managed to kill them."
