Chapter 431: The Angry Xiao Fu
Xiao Fu extended his neck slightly in the gentle drizzle, sniffed the female wolf who followed him, then turned and walked away.
The female wolf followed behind him, walking together.
After turning a corner and being out of sight from the rest of the pack, Xiao Fu turned back towards the female wolf, sniffed a few tis, and then stood up on his hind legs.
His front paws gripped the female wolf's waist, and he headed straight to the point with great speed, shaking off the water droplets that had clung to him.
Not long after, Xiao Fu turned again, facing the female wolf's hindquarters.
So things should not be done; once done, one must bear the consequences.
The one-eyed alpha wolf lying on the ground woke up. He habitually looked to where Xiao Fu had been but could not find his presence.
After a while, it realized the pack was missing a mber, particularly the one in heat.
The one-eyed alpha wolf appeared uneasy, starting to search around, then wandering towards where Xiao Fu and the female wolf were.
The other wolves followed along.
"Awooo!"
The scene before the one-eyed alpha wolf enraged it. It let out an angry howl, baring its sharp, snow-white teeth, pressing its front paws against the ground, then shot off like an arrow, straight towards Xiao Fu and the female wolf.
Such actions caught red-handed also caused tension among animals.
Xiao Fu instinctively wanted to run, but his "roots" weren't retracted, and dragging the female wolf behind him was the only way to escape.
The one-eyed alpha wolf had already rushed close, issuing angry roars while fiercely reprimanding the disobedient pack mbers.
The reprimanded female wolf emitted fearful whimpers, wanting to escape but was as helpless as Xiao Fu.
After a brief reprimand, the one-eyed alpha wolf turned and jumped toward Xiao Fu, opening its mouth to bite.
Though Xiao Fu was in the wrong, he couldn't help but fight back now.
They imdiately started fighting, biting, and growling at each other.
Xiao Fu, still engaged with the female wolf, was disadvantaged in the one-on-two battle.
After a while, he fell behind, gaining so additional wounds.
Can't go back
Xiao Fu opened his mouth in this quiet wait, and the one-eyed alpha wolf slinked over with its tail between its legs.
"Woo, woo..."
Xiao Fu, in the posture of a victor, drove away the defeated one-eyed alpha wolf.
The one-eyed alpha wolf, reluctant to leave the pack it had led for so long, circled, unwilling to depart.
Xiao Fu, however, was not polite at all in his expulsion.
The other wolves stood by, watching the spectacle, none stepping forward to help.
One reason was the cunning nature of the one-eyed alpha wolf, who was not known for treating the pack well; the other was because the one-eyed alpha wolf was old and had been defeated by Xiao Fu in battle...
"Awooo!"
As the clouds dispersed and the rain ceased, a bright moon appeared in the sky in the evening.
The solitary, one-eyed alpha wolf lifted its head to the moon, howling long into the night, adding a touch of loneliness and desolation to the darkness.
Unfortunately, it wasn't a werewolf, so howling at the moon wouldn't change a thing, nor could it discipline the wolf who had defeated and expelled it.
In its plight, its howls offered no help; instead, upon hearing the one-eyed alpha wolf's distant cries, Xiao Fu lay faster on the female wolf's back.
After flipping over from the female wolf's back, he lifted his head and howled at the moon.
The sound was filled with the attitude of a victor.
After howling, the lonely one-eyed alpha wolf licked its wounds on the ground, hearing Xiao Fu's howl. It stood up and slowly walked away, disappearing into the dim distance.
If it couldn't defeat Xiao Fu in the future or another alpha wolf who could defeat the rest of the pack like Xiao Fu, it was afraid it would only beco a solitary wolf...
Crack!
The crisp sound of an eggshell breaking ca from the pottery bowl. Without looking, Han Cheng knew he had accidentally broken another egg.
This was the third egg he had broken.
Shaking his head slightly, Han Cheng set the broken egg aside, picked up a new one, then dipped it into a mixture of salt and water blended with wood ash, rolling it around.
Sotis, when he found the wet wood ash on the eggshell to be too thin, he would use his hands to grab more and coat it thicker.
He was making salted eggs.
Unfortunately, he hadn't co across any listone this ti. Otherwise, after burning it to make so raw li and mixing it with so sawdust left over from the crippled sawmill, adding water to fernt it, when the li cooled, it would beco a century egg.
The century egg is good with beer during sumr.
Han Cheng thought so regretfully.
Crack!
Another crisp sound.
This egg could not be pickled, and more were not yet broken.
Han Cheng sighed, stood up, called Bai Xue, and asked her to co over and take over his work. He stood beside and guided her.
Originally, pickling salted eggs was a very happy thing. But he was worried about Xiao Fu's disappearance.
He was not worried at first. He thought Xiao Fu would return in a few days, but he was nowhere to be found after eight days.
