    The world's first crowdsourcing-driven asian bl novel translation community

    Chu Qiang quickly locked Pan Xiaoquan in the empty room of the activity center, fearing that he would disturb Jiang Rong's work, so he tied him up and stuffed a cloth strip in his mouth.After coming out of the empty room, he checked the time.

    It was 4:50 in the afternoon, forty minutes before the market time he told everyone.During this period of time, it is too hot during the day. In order to avoid the scorching heat, many people choose to go out in the early morning or evening.According to his observation, from 5:30 to 9:00 in the evening and from 4:30 to 7:30 in the morning are the peak periods for the activity of nearby villagers.

    I don't know how many people will come to their bazaar to exchange wolf meat today, but Xiaojiang said that as long as the bazaar opens, it will continue to open in the future.People from all over the world will know their Yuye Sancun, and their names will spread among the crowd.

    Thinking that his name was often mentioned by the villagers, Chu Qiang grinned silently twice.Before he could relax for too long, he heard Jiang Rong's voice: "Qiang Zi, please help me take the things away."

    Chu Qiang responded with a big stride forward: "Come here!"

    Jiang Rong was seriously registering the information. After typing the information on the computer, he raised his head and looked at the man in front of him.The man's name was Zhang Zhou, he was of medium height and muscular. He was a villager in Yuye No. 2 Village. Before the crisis, he was selling meat at the vegetable market in the south of City D.

    After deliberating for a moment, Jiang Rong asked: "Boss Zhang, would you like to cut up the wolf meat for us? Of course, we won't let you do it for nothing. For every wolf cut up, we will give you half a catty of meat as a reward."

    Zhang Zhou was stunned for a moment, and his brain was a little dazed by the huge surprise.Can you get half a catty of meat by cutting up a wolf?There are at least a dozen wolves here, isn't that seven or eight catties of meat for nothing?After a brief hesitation, he nodded again and again: "Okay, okay! But can I bring another person to help?"

    Jiang Rong calmly said: "Yes, but I have to make it clear first, no matter how many people you bring, for every wolf you divide, the meat you can share is only half a catty. Is this acceptable?"

    If Zhang Zhou brought seventeen or eight people to help, and each of them shared half a catty of meat, wouldn't he be at a loss?

    Zhang Zhou didn't expect this at all. After he came back to his senses, he quickly said: "Don't worry, I only bring one person. You wait for me for a while, I will go home and get the guy, and then I will call the master, and I will come right away."

    Jiang Rong nodded slightly: "Okay, let's go."

    Guan Shao, who has been following Jiang Rong's news, turned his head slightly, and Jiang Rong explained with a smile: "You are too tired by yourself."

    Frozen wolves are no better than fresh wolves, and the stiff wolf body makes skinning more difficult.Guan Shao has been busy for almost half an hour, and the first wolf's fur hasn't come off completely.

    Guan Shao understood what Jiang Rong meant, and he nodded slightly: "It's really too slow to be alone." As he spoke, his gaze swept across the crowd, and he fixed on a tall man, "You know how to skin a wolf.?"

    The man raised his eyebrows with surprise in his eyes: "Me? Are you talking to me?"

    Guan Shao nodded: "Yes, do you know how to skin wolves? If you can, I will give you half a catty of meat for every wolf skin you skin."

    The man stood up hesitantly: "I have never skinned wolves, but I have skinned sheep, many, many sheep. I want to try, can I?"

    Jiang Rong waved at the man: "You register first."

    This man was called Hu Hechu, and although he was tall, he was actually a fresh graduate.His hometown is in the northwest province of X, and he had never seen a living wolf, let alone skinning wolves since he was a child.But there are a lot of sheep in their hometown, and he and his family have indeed skinned a lot of sheep over the years.

    Hu Hechu was a little cautious at first, but after taking the dagger in Guan Shao's hand, he devoted himself to work.This child is quick to learn the basics, and he will be able to learn independently after a while.With him around, Guan Shao's pressure was relieved a lot.

    Under Guan Shao's unintentional questioning, Hu Hechu shook off his old self.He originally went to university in the province Z next door. After the big crisis, he lost contact with his family. Seeing the drastic changes in the surrounding environment, he rushed home without hesitation.

    The distance from province Z to province X is more than 3,000 kilometers, and normal people would choose to drive.However, this child did not take the usual way. He found a bicycle and began to pedal from school. He had a bad sense of direction and managed to get lost after pedaling for a month.

    Two days ago, because he wanted to hurry, Hu Hechu suffered from heatstroke. If the people from the fishery brigade hadn't rescued him, he would have become a corpse on the side of the road.

    During the few days he lived in the fishery brigade, he saw the reality clearly.Not to mention whether he can travel more than 3,000 kilometers to go home, it is still unknown whether his parents will be there.Instead of being obsessed with rushing and losing his life, it is better to find a place to settle down first, and then he will rush home when the situation eases later.

    Hu Hechu found an empty house in Fishery Team 1 and lived there. He heard that meat can be exchanged here this morning, so he came here with a few things he found on the way.

    After hearing Hu Hechu's words, everyone fell into silence, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

    After Hu Hechu peeled off a wolf's skin independently, Zhang Zhou ran over through the crowd with a dirty flat bamboo basket in his hand: "Boss Jiang, here we come!"

    The person Zhang Zhou wants to bring is his own brother Zhang Pao. The two brothers have set up a stall together since they were adults, and they have a tacit understanding over the years.Without Zhang Paddle, Zhang Zhou's efficiency would be greatly reduced.

    The two brothers of the Zhang family put the dirty bamboo basket beside the square table, and the knives in the bamboo basket made a clashing sound.Each of them chose a knife, and then one dragged the front legs of the wolf corpse, and the other dragged the hind legs.The two exerted strength at the same time, and a wolf was split into several pieces under the machete.

    The people in front of the square table looked at the dark red wolf meat, their eyes became brighter and brighter: "Hurry up! We're starting to divide the meat!"

    Zhang Zhou yelled: "Don't worry, the meat will be divided soon!" Zhang Pao echoed: "Hey~ Folks line up, there is enough meat, you need fat and fat, you need thin and thin!"

    The ups and downs of yelling filled the expectations of the crowd, and after a while the first person to register successfully got the share he could exchange.This is pork belly on the ribs, which can be fat or lean.Zhang Zhou poked a hole in the five flowers and tied a straw rope. The first person held his head up and carried the meat, staring at the envious eyes of everyone and swaggering away.

    The enthusiasm of the crowd was completely ignited by this fat and thin wolf streaky. Their eyes wandered on the wolf, looking for the most desired part.

    The body of the wolf looks big, but after removing the fur, internal organs, head and bones, the remaining meat is not as large as pork.

    Seeing that the first wolf was almost finished, everyone focused their attention on the second wolf.Seeing Guan Shaoli cut off the wolf's head and removed the internal organs, some people in the crowd couldn't bear it: "Shouldn't there be so many offals and wolf heads?" "Yes, it's a pity."

    It seems that there are more wolves in the water than pigs, especially the intestines, which are thick and long.The twisted intestines are mixed with white fat, and the people present are very jealous.

    Jiang Rong's typing on the keyboard slowed down. In fact, he had considered the problem of wolves going into the water.If the water is cleaned, it is also a very good meat.But the problem is in cleaning up. They have limited manpower, and it is impossible to spend time cleaning the internal organs.And offal is not easy to exchange, meat can be sold in pieces, but intestines can't be sold in pieces, right?

    At this time, someone in the crowd shouted angrily: "Why do you cut the queue!" "How do you cut the queue? Go to the back!"

    Jiang Rong followed the sound and saw three men squeezed in from the crowd.The leader, Jiang Rong, actually knew him. This person was named Liu, the third eldest, and a well-known country cook in the second team.The latter two are his sons. Before the big crisis, the three of them undertook banquets with a radius of tens of miles. Whether it was red or white, their team could always come up with suitable dishes within the budget of the host family.

    Seeing these three people, Jiang Rong already guessed what they were going to do.

    When Liu Laosan saw that Zhang Zhou and his brothers had obtained wolf meat by their own skills, and saw the offal and wolf heads on the ground, they were moved.Now he was smiling all over his face: "Jiang Rong, do you still want the wolf under the water and the wolf's head?"

    Jiang Rong smiled slightly: "Of course I want it."

    In fact, he didn't want the internal organs of the two wolves he beat up before.First of all, it is complicated to take care of the internal organs, otherwise it will only make the house smelly.Second, he wasn't sure what the mutant wolf ate, and if he saw something he shouldn't have seen, he would cast a shadow on himself.

    But seeing Liu Laosan and the other three, he felt that the internal organs could be used.The viscera of more than thirty wolves can be put to great use if they are used properly, and Liu Laosan took the initiative to stand up, which just saved him trouble.

    Liu Laosan's eyes showed disappointment, he scratched his hair embarrassingly: "Oh..."

    Just as he was about to leave, Jiang Rong's voice came: "However, if you can help take care of the internal organs and wolf heads, and make wolf soup, I will give you six hanging water."

    Less than half of the mutant wolf's weight was in the internal organs, and the heart, liver and intestines weighed forty to fifty catties when it was hung into the water.Although it shrinks severely when it is cooked in water, five or six people can eat a few delicious meals by hanging it in the water.Liuhang goes into the water and eats sparingly, every meal within a month can see meaty smell.

    Liu Laosan burst into laughter, and he was so happy that he showed his gums: "Hey, good!" He greeted his sons: "Go home and move things, start working!"

    The two Zhang Zhou brothers were very annoyed: "Oh, how did Lao Liu get such a fat job? It's a big loss." In terms of dealing with the water, who can compare to them for butchering pigs?

    Hearing this, Jiang Rong silently turned her head to look at the two brothers, and Zhang Zhou chuckled, "I'm joking, I'm joking."

    One can't be too greedy, and one can't want this and that. The task that Jiang Rong assigns to them is to finish the task beautifully.If the business is not done, losing the meat is a trivial matter, but offending the supernatural being is a major event.

    At this moment, Jiang Rong heard Ruan Hanyu's voice again: "Well, Mr. Jiang..."

    Jiang Rong looked at her calmly: "Just call me Jiang Rong."

    Ruan Hanyu said timidly: "I type fast, so I can help you register the information."

    As soon as the words fell, the people around looked at Ruan Hanyu with clear eyes.Some people even raised their voices: "It seems that no matter what the world is, taking shortcuts is the kingly way."

    After the big crisis, beautiful girls will cling to the strong, and they use their beauty in exchange for a stable and peaceful life.This kind of situation is not uncommon, and everyone has already classified Ruan Hanyu as one of those who want to climb high.

    Seeing Jiang Rong's complicated complexion, Ruan Hanyu blushed and explained, "I don't want any reward, I, I just think cat litter..."

    Although it cost a lot of money to buy cat litter before, cat litter is not worth much in this world.She felt that Jiang Rong must have suffered a lot if he wanted to exchange meat for her, and she wanted to do something to make herself feel better because of her uneasy conscience.

    Hearing what Ruan Hanyu said, Jiang Rong stood up: "Yes, you know the rules, right?"

    Ruan Hanyu quickly walked around the square table and walked to the back of the computer. After getting used to the keyboard for a while, she smiled and nodded: "I can."

    Jiang Rong stood behind Ruan Hanyu, and after confirming that she could really complete the task independently, he turned around and said, "Guan Shao."

    The movements in Guan Shao's hands slowed down again, "Huh?"

    Jiang Rong smiled and shook the water bottle in his hand: "Let them work first, let's go and have a rest."

    Guan Shao lowered his eyes to hide the smile in his eyes, "Okay."

    At 8 o'clock in the evening, the temperature gradually dropped, and the number of people in the activity center increased instead of decreasing.

    The line in front of the square table meandered to the parking lot, and people were chatting excitedly with things in their hands.From time to time, they stand on tiptoes and look forward, hoping that there will be wolf meat when it is their turn.But it doesn't matter if there is no wolf meat, if it is not possible, they can exchange for cooked wolf soup.

    The wolf miscellaneous soup stewed by the chef is full of fragrance, making people's stomach growl.When Aunt Chu brought the children to the activity center, she happened to smell the fragrant broth.Jiang Xiaoheng took a deep breath and said intoxicated, "Ah~ it smells so good~"

    Jiang Xiaoheng looked forward to meeting his father more than broth.Ever since Jiang Rong decided to beat wolves, he sent the child to Chu Qiang's home.With Uncle Chu and Aunt Chu taking care of them, he can deal with future troubles with peace of mind.

    Jiang Xiaoheng stood on tiptoe and looked around in the crowd, and at a glance he saw his father leaning on the pickup truck with his arms folded.Holding Jiang Hao with one hand and Le Le with the other, he raised his voice and ran towards Jiang Rong: "Father—"

    Jiang Rong bent down and caught his son and Jiang Hao who were running wildly: "Hey~"

    Jiang Xiaoheng hugged his father's neck tightly, and then kissed Jiang Rong's cheek several times.Le Le was even more unrestrained. It licked Jiang Rong's chin, leaving sparkling saliva.For a moment Jiang Rong was in a hurry: "Lele, Lele, shut up."

    Jiang Hao also followed Jiang Xiaoheng's example and slowly moved closer to Jiang Rong. He lightly rubbed Jiang Rong's cheek, which was considered a kiss.

    Jiang Rong narrowed her eyes: "Good boy~"

    Jiang Hao slowly turned his head away, a faint blush appeared on his cheeks.Then he took two steps back, broke free from Jiang Rong's embrace, and stood beside Guan Shao.Guan Shao touched his head: "Very good."

    The pink color on Jiang Hao's face became deeper, and his expressionless face became more vivid.

    After the kiss, Jiang Xiaoheng didn't intend to leave his father. He began to babble and express his thoughts: "Dad, I miss you so much. Have you finished your work? Can I go home and sleep today?"

    Jiang Rong hadn't spoken yet, but Chu Qiang had an opinion. He stared at him, "Little heartless, wouldn't it be good to sleep at my house? Godfather, I'll read stories to you every day, isn't it better than your father?"

    Jiang Xiaoheng thought carefully for a while, tilted his head and said softly, "Uncle Chu is very kind to me, but I also miss Dad very much."

    Jiang Rong picked up his son and solemnly promised: "Okay, when Dad finishes his work, we will go home together in a while."

    Jiang Xiaoheng chatted about sharing his little secrets with his father, such as learning a new song today, such as Lei Lei gave him a bottle of Lele Duo, such as what game Little Hao played with him... heLike a sticky koala clinging tightly to Jiang Rong's arms, he couldn't bear to let go.

    When Pan Pan received the news and went to the activity center, he saw such a scene.A young dad tenderly cradling his baby is a beautiful image, both before and after a major crisis.But he clearly knew how terrifying the gentle and handsome supernatural being in front of him was. Just looking at the wolf skins piled up in the activity center, he didn't dare to take it lightly.

    Although he is also a supernatural power user, what he awakened is the earth supernatural power, and he really joined other supernatural power teams. His own supernatural power can only be used as a shield, and he must die first.He didn't want to have anything to do with other supernatural beings, let alone owe them any favors.He just wants to live a good life with his mother, but even this tiny wish is difficult to achieve.

    If he didn't come to take Pan Xiaoquan away, those rogue relatives in the family didn't know what they would do to his mother.

    After feeling the unusual aura, Jiang Rong looked up.Chu Qiang quickly whispered into Jiang Rong's ear, "He is Pan Pan."

    Seeing Pan Pan for the first time, Jiang Rong was a little surprised.In his imagination, Pan Pan should be a burly young man.Unexpectedly, he looked like a gentle and fair little boy, with black framed eyes and a white shirt, tall and thin.

    Pan Pan's left arm was bandaged, and he staggered a little when he walked, looking like he was seriously injured.He slowly walked up to Jiang Rong and nodded: "I'm Pan Pan from Fishery Team 5. I heard that Pan Xiaoquan was detained by you. Tell me, what price do you need from me to release him?"

    When the word "Pan Xiaoquan" was mentioned, Pan Pan's eyes revealed undisguised disgust.

    Jiang Rong put his son down: "Xiao Heng, go and play with little brother and sister Lei Lei." Jiang Xiaoheng looked at Pan Pan curiously, and after showing him a bright smile, he ran towards Wang Chunlanmother and daughter.

    After Pan Pan finished speaking, he stood in front of Jiang Rong like a log. He lowered his eyes so as not to look at Jiang Rong, but Jiang Rong didn't miss the anger hidden in his eyes.

    After a moment of silence, Jiang Rong said the first words after meeting: "Have you had dinner? If you haven't eaten, let's have a bowl of soup together. The soup made by the chef is very delicious."

    Pan Pan looked up in surprise, and before he could say anything, his stomach had already made a long growl.

    This is... so embarrassing.

    Jiang Rong didn't deliberately get close to Pan Pan, but he was really hungry.Country cooks rank first in the number of affordable dishes. Liu Laosan and the others stewed wolf soup with milky white color and rich fragrance. In the mouths of health practitioners before the big crisis, this is a bowl of heavy-tasting purinessoup.

    However, the people present were all people who hadn't seen meat for more than a month. At this time, as long as they had a sip of soup, who cares about purines?After smelling the fragrance for several hours, everyone was so hungry that their chests pressed against their backs.Everyone sat down at the simple table and drank soup and meat, all of their attention was focused on the broth.

    Pan Pan thought that Jiang Rong and the others would take the opportunity to make a request to him. The bowl of soup was almost bottomed out, but he only heard a few common words: "Do you want chili oil?" "Do you want coriander?" "Want to come again?"A bowl?"

    Only the last sentence was addressed to Pan Pan. Pan Pan wanted to refuse, but his physical reaction was too honest.Before he could react, his head had already clicked.

    There was another bowl of broth with golden fat floating in front of Pan Pan. This time he couldn't hold back anymore: "Just tell me what you want me to do. As long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it."

    Jiang Rong pointed to the room where Pan Xiaoquan was imprisoned: "Pan Xiaoquan stole your things to exchange for wolf meat. I don't see people who sneak around. I just wanted to let you know about it. You can take him away after drinking the soup in a while."

    Before Pan Pan came, Jiang Rong listened to the gossip.Pan Pan's mother remarried to a villager from Team Five, and Pan Pan was a burden brought by her mother.Although many people are not optimistic about this reorganized couple, they formed a happy family of three after they got married. Pan Pan's stepfather treated Pan Pan as his own, and gave them the greatest care for their mother and child.

    As a result, during the great crisis, Pan Pan's stepfather passed away unfortunately.Relatives of the Pan family came forward to drive away their mother and son, and took away their property and supplies.They said that Pan Pan was not a member of the Pan family and was not qualified to live in the Pan family.

    But the house Pan Pan lives in now was built by his mother and stepfather, and Pan Pan's mother refuses to leave Pan's house no matter what.In order to guard their home, Pan Pan bowed his head to unscrupulous relatives again and again.

    Presumably this time, he was also forced to come by the relatives of the Pan family.

    Anger, embarrassment and helplessness flashed in Pan Pan's eyes. He lowered his head and awkwardly scooped up the wolves at the bottom of the bowl with his chopsticks.I don't know whether it's because he's full or because he can't use his hands, but his speed of drinking the second bowl is much slower than that of the first bowl.

    Jiang Rong didn't rush him either, and after finishing the wolf broth, the few of them went about their own affairs.He wanted to change positions with Ruan Hanyu, and Ruan's sister had been busy for several hours, and she did a good job.It's getting late now, and it's time to go back with the meat.

    After Ruan Hanyu carefully handed over the finished things to Jiang Rong, she was ready to line up, but Jiang Rong stopped her, then turned her head and said to Zhang Zhou: "Cut ten catties of wolf meat."A wolf soup."

    After a while, Chu Qiang handed the wolf meat and the packaged wolf soup to Ruan Hanyu.Ruan Hanyu backed away in shock: "No, no, no, no. I really just want to help."

    Jiang Rong took a look at her and said seriously, "You deserve it, take it."

    Ruan Hanyu grinned, but her eyes turned red: "Jiang Rong, you are a good person."

    Looking at Ruan Hanyu's flushed eyes, Jiang Rong still said something extra: "Do you know the truth about the innocence and the crime?"

    Ruan Hanyu sniffled and said in a trembling voice, "I know." He was innocent and conceived a crime. He said that talented people are easy to be framed by others, and he learned it when he was in school.

    Jiang Rong nodded: "It's good to know, and be careful on the way home."

    Ruan Hanyu didn't quite understand why Jiang Rong said this to her, but she still bowed gratefully to Jiang Rong: "Thank you."

    Thanks to Jiang Rong, she was able to turn useless cat litter into meat.With this meat, life will not be too difficult in the next period.

    However, Jiang Rong was not as optimistic as Ruan Hanyu. He turned his head and asked Chu Qiang, "Qiang Zi, are the fifth and sixth fishing villages close?"

    Chu Qiang just walked through these villages, and he was very impressed: "It's not bad, it's a few hills away. What's the matter?"

    Jiang Rong said: "In a while, you will drive Pan Pan and Pan Xiaoquan back, and then drive Ruan Hanyu along the way. Remember to send the girl home, and you must see her enter the door with your own eyes."

    Chu Qiang's face became serious: "I see." On the way back from City C, he had seen many tragedies.There are some scumbags who take advantage of natural disasters and man-made disasters to bully women specifically, and the cruelty of their methods is so vicious that both men and gods are outraged.

    The news that Ruan Hanyu had exchanged so much meat couldn't be concealed. If there was anyone in her family, it would be fine. If she was the only one, I'm afraid the meat would bring trouble to her.

    About half an hour later, Pan Pan stood in front of Jiang Rong again, this time with more determination in his eyes: "Jiang Rong, I want to join you."

    He was narrow-minded before, he only wanted not to get involved in the disputes of supernatural beings, but he forgot that there is no paradise in this world.Instead of expecting those from the Pan family to be kind to their mother, it's better to become strong, so strong that those people dare not bully their mother and child casually.

    He wanted to become a supernatural being like Jiang Rong, strong enough to protect his important people.
