Chapter 113 Reward: Ten Pounds of Meat

"Su Yang! You're injured! I told you a long time ago not to go on that stupid hunting trip, but you insisted!"

Tears welled up in Wu Xinxue's eyes instantly.

"Hey, hey, hey! Sister Xinxue, don't cry!"

Su Yang quickly explained, "I'm not injured, not even a scratch! This is just blood from when I was butchering the prey."

After saying that, he directly took Wu Xinxue's hand and placed it on his body, letting her feel it herself.

"Really?" Wu Xinxue pinched his arms and legs, then touched his chest.

"Huh? What's that in your arms?" Wu Xinxue felt the restless "bulge" wriggling in Su Yang's arms.

Before Su Yang could explain, Xiao Bai seemed to be stimulated by the cold air outside and Wu Xinxue's voice. It struggled to peek out from Su Yang's collar with its snow-white head, its blue eyes, which looked exceptionally clear and bright in the darkness, curiously looking at the beautiful and anxious human girl in front of it.

"Wow!" Wu Xinxue was instantly captivated by the tiny, fluffy creature with sapphire-like eyes. Her worries and grievances vanished, and she covered her mouth in delight.

"What an adorable puppy! Where did you get it?" She cautiously reached out her finger, wanting to touch Little White's nose.

"Mmm..." Little White shrank back warily. Because of the soul connection, it did not show strong resistance, but just looked at Wu Xinxue with its blue eyes.

"I guess you could say I...found it," Su Yang said vaguely, relieved to see that Wu Xinxue liked it. "Its name is Xiaobai."

"Little White? That's so fitting!" Wu Xinxue's maternal instincts instantly overflowed, her voice softening. "It's so tiny, with such beautiful eyes! Like a snowman! Let me hug it!"

Without a word, she took Xiaobai from Su Yang's arms, carefully wrapped it in a scarf, and completely forgot to ask Su Yang about the hunting trip.

Xiao Bai wriggled in her soft embrace, seemingly feeling quite comfortable. Or perhaps sensing the girl's affection for her master, it relaxed and even stuck out its little tongue to lick Wu Xinxue's fingers.

"Oh my, it licked me! It likes me!" Wu Xinxue exclaimed happily.

Each unit that came to pick up the vehicles was well-prepared, and each drove their own transportation department's vehicle.

After another round of commotion, we successfully returned to Limin Flour Factory.

The day shift workers had already finished their shifts, and the entire security team came out to help unload the meat.

The canteen became a temporary warehouse. To prevent people or rats from stealing meat at night, Zhou Zheng arranged for six security guards to take turns guarding it.

After everything was settled, Zhou Zheng stuffed a large bag of meat into the hands of Su Yang and Wu Xinxue in front of everyone.

"...Comrade Su Yang, your performance in this hunt was outstanding! Not only was your marksmanship superb and you had the most bountiful catch, but you also spotted danger in time and protected your comrades. In particular, you personally killed the tiger, bringing great honor to the factory! The factory's Party Committee has decided to award you five catties of tiger meat and five catties of the best wild boar meat! In addition, you are given two days off to rest well!" Zhou Zheng announced the rewards with a radiant face and great enthusiasm.

The Shenzhou government and even the Andong headquarters attached great importance to this joint hunt.

This thousand-person team from Shenzhou is just a trial run.

Now that they've acquired over 100,000 kilograms of prey, one can imagine that people all over the country will follow suit.

So while the hunting team was still on the train back, the Xifeng Military Control Commission made one good news call after another to the units that participated in the hunt.

The Limin Flour Factory Hunting Team, as the team with the most outstanding performance, was frequently mentioned.

Su Yang, in particular, received lavish praise on the phone for killing the only tiger and saving Guo Kai of the Xifeng Military Control Commission!

"Factory manager, I..."

Su Yang wanted to refuse, but the prey they had caught this time weighed 5555 jin plus a tiger.

But that's the gross weight.

After slaughtering and butchering, and after deducting the half that was handed over, Limin Flour Factory received less than 2400 jin (1,200 catties) of clean meat, fat, and offal.

The factory now has just over 1200 employees, which means each person can only get 2 jin (1 catties) of meat, fat, and offal!

Of course, this is already quite a lot for everyone.

After all, most people haven't tasted meat for a month or two.

Su Yang carried ten jin by himself, because he was afraid of what others would say.

Zhou Zheng saw through his thoughts and asked the security guards around him, "Do you have any objections to Su Yang taking ten catties of meat?"

"No!"

Yu Feng was the first to speak up. He knew very well that without Su Yang's marksmanship, they would never have achieved such great results this time.

"No objections!" The other security personnel who participated in the hunt also expressed their opinions in unison.

The remaining security officers who hadn't participated in the hunt, though still unclear about what had happened, saw that all the brothers who had gone to Xifeng had unanimously agreed, clearly indicating that Su Yang had played an important role in Xifeng.

So they chimed in, "No objections!"

Seeing this, Zhou Zheng smiled at Su Yang and said, "Look! Comrades, your eyes are all sharp!"

"Thank you, factory manager," Su Yang said calmly.

"Go back! Wash off the smell of blood, get a good night's sleep, and come back to work in two days," Zhou Zheng said, patting him on the shoulder.

"Su Yang, does Xiao Bai also have a telepathic connection with you?"

All the way, Wu Xinxue held Xiaobai in her arms, and even when she returned to help Su Yang heat up his bath water, she couldn't bear to let go of him.

"That's right!" Su Yang didn't hide anything and admitted it directly.

Wu Xinxue's eyes darted around, and she said in a sweet voice, "Then can you also communicate with me telepathically?"

"What?"

Su Yang was startled, then immediately realized what was happening and shook his head vigorously.

"No! No!"

He thought to himself, "How can I communicate with you telepathically? Should I take you in as a pet? A human-pet?"

Suddenly, an image of Wu Xinxue calling him "master" in a sweet voice popped into his mind.

Su Yang shook his head, banishing the wicked thought from his mind, and quickly changed the subject, "Sister Xinxue, you can hang our meat outside the window to freeze it, so we can eat it slowly until after the New Year."

The warm fire licked at the hearth, baking the small room into a cozy warmth, isolating it from the harsh cold outside.

Su Yang sat in the bathtub, pouring hot water over himself, and let out a long, comfortable sigh. The fatigue and bloody smell from the hunt in Xifeng seemed to be washed away little by little.

Through the curtain, he could hear Wu Xinxue's soft voice from outside and Xiaobai's occasional "woof woof" responses.

"Little Bai, this is warm water, you can't drink too much... Ouch, why are you licking my hand? Are you hungry?"

"Wow..."

"Don't worry, don't worry, we'll make you something delicious after Su Yang takes a shower. He brought back lots of meat!"

There's also tiger meat! You've probably never had it before, right?

Su Yang's lips unconsciously curled up into a smile.

Wu Xinxue's voice was gentle and delicate, like the warm sun in winter, dispelling the gloom brought by the battlefield and Xiaoyu's distant transfer.

He quickly dried himself off, changed into a clean cotton-padded jacket and trousers, and went outside, lifting the curtain.

Wu Xinxue was sitting cross-legged on the bed, with Xiaobai lying on her lap, its little head resting in her outstretched palm, its bright blue eyes half-closed, looking lazy and enjoying itself.

With her other hand, Wu Xinxue carefully wiped away a trace of blood from the corner of Xiaobai's mouth with a damp towel; it was from when Xiaobai licked tiger blood.

"Are you done washing? Come on, Xiaobai seems hungry." Wu Xinxue looked up, her eyes sparkling.

"Okay, I'll cook." Su Yang walked to the window and took down a small piece of wild boar meat that had just been hanging outside and hadn't frozen yet.

He rinsed the meat with warm water and placed it on the table to start cutting.

Upon smelling the meat, Xiao Bai immediately perked up, struggling to jump off Wu Xinxue's arms, making urgent "woofing" sounds in its throat.

"You little glutton."

Su Yang smiled and separated a small piece of pork. He quickly chopped it into minced meat with a cleaver and placed it on a small plate on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).

He could sense the changes the panel was making to Xiaobai. Given the little guy's current condition, eating some raw meat would definitely be no problem.

Little White immediately leaned over, its pink little tongue quickly licking and making smacking noises, while the tip of its snow-white tail swayed slightly.

"Su Yang! Why are you feeding it raw food? Shouldn't puppies eat like us?" Wu Xinxue suddenly realized and exclaimed in surprise.

"Who told you Little White is a dog? It's a wolf!"
