The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

Everyone went into the house, Yang Waizui lit the candles, and everyone looked at the wolf on the ground, admiring it.

The wolf was quite big, a male wolf, weighing about 110 to 120 kilograms.

Yang Waizui gave Huo Zhengping and his son a thumbs up.

"Old Huo, you are awesome! Your son is great too. Like father, like son!"

Huo Jun was still in the excitement of hunting the wolf. He felt very happy to be praised. He did not bring shame to the Huo family.

Well, his brother is even more powerful. As the saying goes, "A good father will have a good son." This saying is very appropriate when applied to his family.

Huo Jun's mouth was almost stretched to his ears.

Others followed suit.

"That's right. We only heard it after you and your son were out."

Huo Zhengping was very calm. "Nothing. I just felt light-headed. I heard something was going on, but I wasn't sure. So I went out to take a look."

Being on the battlefield is much more dangerous than this. I've been through gunfire and hail of bullets countless times and I'm used to it.

Kong Guicai, "This is too dangerous. If this happens again, it's better for everyone to go out and check it out together."

If he had gone out first and been in front, he would have killed the wolf directly, and he would have been the one to show off his fame.

There must be more than one wolf to be fought. Individualism and love of showing off will only delay things.

Huo Zhengping glanced at him and said, "Comrade Kong is right."

Yang crooked his mouth, "What should we do with this wolf? We need to skin it, right? Who among you knows how to do it?"

It's pitch dark here, and he can't peel the wolf skin. A wolf skin costs a lot of money, and he would be blamed if he peeled it badly.

Several people have never peeled it.

Huo Zhengping did not come forward this time.

Huo Jun was a young and brave man who was not afraid of tigers. "How about I do it?"

When Huo Zhengping saw his son coming forward,

"You need a sharp knife to skin the skin. Do you have one?"

Yang Waizui found a sickle head and said, "Is this okay?"

There really is no such thing as a dagger.

Huo Zhengping didn't let Huo Jun take action, "Let me do it."

The child has not peeled it before, so don’t damage it again.

Huo Zhengping took the knife and was about to skin the person, and everyone saw that his hands were covered in blood.

It turned out that when he was beating the wolf with the enamel basin, his arms and hands were scratched by the wolf.

Huo Zhengping acted as if nothing had happened.

Everyone then looked at him carefully. The clothes on his shoulders were scratched open by the wolf's claws, and no one knew what was inside.

Huo Jun was a little anxious. "Dad, can you go home and take care of it? I'll do the work."

Huo Zhengping, "No need, they are just minor injuries, not that delicate."

Su Xiaorou was not at home either, and she was scaring the two girls.

Besides, it’s not even daybreak yet, what if something happens?

Huo Zhengping insisted on skinning the wolf. He used a kitchen knife and a sickle, but it was very difficult. The candle was not bright enough, and even with a flashlight, it only gave a dim light.

It took me more than an hour to finish peeling it.

There was also a problem with Captain Qu.

The two groups of wolves arrived at about the same time. When Captain Qu heard the pigs squealing, he led everyone out, banging pots and shouting.

Two wolves had jumped into the pigsty and bit the pigs' necks.

The deputy company commander shone a flashlight into the pigpen, and Company Commander Qu pulled the trigger, shooting through both the wolf and the pig.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the other wolf jumped up and jumped out by using the crossbeam of the fence. It was just as Captain Qu had guessed.

After Captain Qu fired the first shot, he fired another one, but unfortunately the wolf reacted too quickly and he only hit its tail.

The wolf outside ran away quickly.

When Captain Qu returned to the pigpen, the wolves had already run away.

A few people went back to the pigsty and carried the pigs and wolves into the house to deal with them.

Everyone was happy because they could eat meat.

Captain Qu thought that there was a high probability that wolves would come to the pigpen today, so he took out the dagger he had used for many years and put it to use now.

He handed the dagger to the deputy company commander, who started working while the others helped hold the lights and flashlights.

By the time it was completely light, the wolf skins had been peeled off.

The wind outside has also died down.

Several people boiled water in a large pot for cooking pig food and began to remove the pig hair.

Captain Qu also heard gunshots coming from the barn at night, and as soon as daybreak came he went over there to see what was going on.

I was very happy to know that I had killed a wolf without hurting any livestock.

It was Huo Zhengping who was injured.

Captain Qu, "You go back and take care of your wounds. I'll go back and take Sister Su back now."

Huo Zhengping, "I'm fine. I'll just ask Ren Siying to help me wash when I get home. You can handle the company's affairs and let Lao Su take care of him at your home. You never know if the wolves will come again."

Huo Zhengping and Huo Huojun returned home.

The two sisters Huo Siying and Huo Siyan had stayed up most of the night and were now sleeping in each other's arms with their heads covered.

Huo Jun knocked on the door for a long time before the two sisters woke up and quickly got up to open the door.

There was no fire in the house in the second half of the night and it was as cold as an ice cellar.

Huo Jun immediately put the firewood on the table and lit it. Now that the wind outside was weaker, he could burn the fire vigorously.

When the two sisters saw that their father’s clothes were torn, they became nervous, and even Siyan had tears in her eyes. They were born after the liberation and had never seen their father injured.

Seeing the two daughters' nervous expressions, Huo Zhengping comforted them.

"It's okay, just a little skin breakage. When the water gets hot, just wash it and wrap it up."

Siying went to the cupboard to find cloth to bandage her father's wound, but after searching for a long time, all she found was old clothes, not even a piece of new cloth.

Think about tearing off your white shirt.

Huo Zhengping heard a "ripping" sound and turned around to see what was happening, but it was too late to stop it.
