Chapter 120: Causing Trouble or Performing a Service

The wild chickens spent the day in the cage peacefully, showing no signs of discomfort, nor did they refuse to eat or attempt to escape; Baifeng felt quite reassured about them.

The chicken coop must be built quickly, after all, this bamboo cage can neither provide shade nor shelter from the rain, and it cannot keep them warm in Winter; it must be built with Brick and Tile for them to sleep in at night, and a piece of land should be fenced off outside so they can wander during the day and return to the cage at night, though there is no need to clip their wings just yet.

Pushing Changwei and Laifu into their doghouse, Baifeng also returned to his own little nest to sleep; another ordinary day had ended, and now with wolves and wild chickens, a life where fields stretch across the land and the sounds of chickens and dogs are heard is within reach.

In his groggy state at night, Baifeng heard the sound of something tearing, along with sharp cries, somewhat like wolf howls; Baifeng instantly woke from his sleepy state, put on his clothes, picked up his Knife, and blew the Whistle.

He heard it very clearly, the sound was still there; he did not know what the night watchmen were doing, to not even see wolves coming, without even a hint of warning; if they had not been bitten to death by the wolves, then Baifeng would certainly not let them off.

In fact, other tribesmen had also discovered the anomaly and had long since prepared their Weapon, and some were already on their way to find Baifeng by the time he blew the Whistle.

Those who woke early had already taken their Weapon and rushed to where the commotion came from, which was over by the vegetable garden; Baifeng understood that the chickens they raised must have attracted some wild beast again; why did everything he raised have to suffer a disaster?

By the time Baifeng rushed over, there was no more movement, and everyone was standing there blankly, not knowing what they were doing; just as Baifeng was about to rush to the front, Changwei and Laifu squeezed out from the crowd and rubbed against Baifeng's legs.

But under the firelight, the conspicuous bloodstains on their bodies and the yellow fur on their mouths made Baifeng's anger soar; a wolf is a wolf, impossible to tame; Baifeng had just demonstrated to them what the consequences of biting a chicken were, and they dared to launch a sneak attack at night?

Baifeng was very angry, so he forcefully grabbed the two wolves by the neck and lifted them up, intending to show them their crime scene and then give them a good lesson; if they didn't feel the pain on their bodies, they wouldn't know it hurt.

Under the strange expressions of the crowd, Baifeng carried the two of them through the crowd to the side of the chicken coop; the two of them squeaked in fear, and Laifu was scared into peeing again, drawing a line.

But after Baifeng saw the situation clearly, he hurriedly put them both down and gently comforted them; for no other reason than that Baifeng had wronged them, and not only did they not cause trouble, they had performed a meritorious service.

The corpses of four weasels lay side by side on the ground, and a deep pit could already be seen on the floor of the chicken cage; they only needed a little more effort to dig through the hole and then enjoy this flock of chickens that had nowhere to escape.

Baifeng flipped over the weasel corpses; judging by the wounds, they were bitten by Xiaolang, and their body temperatures were still warm, and blood was still flowing, which meant they had just been bitten to death, so the sound just now was them fighting.

Although the two little wolves had the advantage in size, it was two against four after all, so the difficulty was still relatively high; Baifeng carefully examined the little wolves and found that they both had varying degrees of injuries; he had been misled by the weasels' blood just now and hadn't looked closely.

Just as Baifeng intended to withdraw the people and go back to continue sleeping, the dozen or so Soldier patrolling on the city wall all arrived, fully armed, looking ready for battle at any time.

The weasels snuck in, and Baifeng did not blame them, as the visibility at night was indeed poor, and weasels are sneaky and hard to detect, but why were they all here now?

"You all came?" Under the dim firelight, Baifeng's expression was not clearly visible.

"Yes, Tribal Chief, we all rushed over as soon as we heard the commotion."

Baifeng's voice was even deeper: "Did I blow the warning whistle or the battle whistle? You all came, so who is guarding the city wall? Are you waiting for Heaven to guard it for you?"

"This, this..."

Those Soldier did not know how to answer; they just felt that something had happened, and as Soldier, they should come to check, but they forgot that they should have been on duty patrolling at this time.

"Let this be the only time, go back to your posts quickly; if you are sneak-attacked, you will not escape punishment; I will let it slide this time, but next time, no matter what happens, even if the tribe is burned down, as long as the battle whistle is not blown, you stay on the city wall and guard it for me."

The Soldier nodded repeatedly, then ran quickly to return to guarding the city wall.

As for now, it was all a false alarm; Changwei and Laifu had performed a service, so naturally there would be a reward, though it wouldn't be too big; these few weasels would serve as a meal supplement for the two of them to replenish their injured bodies.

Letting everyone go back to sleep, Baifeng also returned with one little wolf tucked under each arm; Sui had her clothes on properly and was standing at the door holding a cocked Crossbow; seeing Baifeng return safe and sound, she lowered the Crossbow; to be honest, Baifeng was very afraid that Sui would have a shaky hand and make him die inexplicably at the hands of his wife; he really should add a safety to these Crossbow.

Tonight he brought both little wolves into the room to sleep, after all, they were heroes, and it was a bit cold outside now, and his room was much warmer than their doghouse.

It was just that the visibility was too poor at night, so he couldn't check the little wolves' injuries carefully and had to wait until tomorrow; however, looking at their current state, it didn't affect their walking, and there was no blood flowing, which meant there were no life-threatening injuries, so he would leave it at that for now.

Spreading a sheepskin for the two of them, Baifeng waited until they were lying down peacefully before he held Sui and slowly fell asleep.

The next day, Baifeng got up and didn't wash up first, but instead checked the little wolves' wounds; there were indeed no very serious wounds, the biggest injury was a piece of Changwei's eyelid that had been clawed off, leaving no fur, just a bloody patch with the flesh exposed, though it was no longer bleeding.

Baifeng very carefully cleaned the fur for the two of them and scratched their itches, which made their mood and state much better; there was no medicine to give them, but their self-healing ability was particularly strong, so Baifeng almost didn't have to worry.

Once the sun came out, they would go bask in the sun and lick themselves, and they would be fine; however, during this period, Baifeng's food supply had to keep up.

Usually, what they could eat was nothing more than Baifeng's leftovers, or bones and meat scraps; the bones that could be chewed up by the tribesmen were all left for the tribe's little wolves to eat; although other bones could be crushed to feed them, Baifeng didn't want them to be unable to defecate and have to use his own hands to dig it out.

This time, the few weasels would all be given to them to eat; for one thing, they were indeed caught by them, and for another, weasel meat is probably hard to swallow; although it was only enough for the little wolves' food for two or three days, Baifeng felt that giving them a little more Beef would also be perfectly fine.
