HUN Chapter 95: The Brothers-in-law's Recognition

The next morning, a green pickup truck bearing the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) emblem slowly drove into Wyatt's farm driveway.

A tall, middle-aged white man with bronze-tanned skin got out of the vehicle.

He wore a khaki uniform with a pistol and various equipment hanging from his belt, but his expression wasn't serious, instead carrying a hint of rural familiarity.

"Wyatt, you causing trouble again, kid?"

The man walked forward and shook hands with Wyatt, his tone like teasing between old friends.

"Thompson, this time it's not me causing trouble, trouble found me."

Wyatt pointed toward the barn, "The bodies are over there, and the video evidence is ready too."

This was Tim Thompson, a senior FWP enforcement officer and old acquaintance who had been working in this area for nearly twenty years.

He nodded and followed the group of McKinley men toward the barn.

In the snow, three wolf carcasses were neatly arranged side by side, their wounds clearly visible.

Thompson didn't immediately examine the wolf bodies, but first took the tablet Wyatt handed him and began watching the drone footage.

He watched very carefully, occasionally pausing and zooming in on the screen to observe the timing of the wolf pack's attack and when the men opened fire.

Throughout the process, he remained silent, creating a somewhat tense atmosphere.

After watching the video, he squatted down, put on gloves, and began examining each wolf carcass one by one.

He parted the fur on the female wolf's flank, looked at that clean bullet hole, then examined the wounds on the male wolf's leg and chest, finally checking the other wolf hit by the shotgun.

"Bo, your AR-10. Clay, your Remington 870."

Thompson said without looking up, intimately familiar with their firearms.

"So, the .300 Winchester Magnum, that was you, young man?"

"Yes." Lin Yu'An’answered calmly.

Thompson stood up, removed his gloves, and showed a hint of appreciative smile on his face.

"Well done, and smart too. The video evidence is perfect, and the scene ballistics completely match the wounds on the wolf carcasses."

"Your actions comply with every provision of the property defense law."

He turned to Wyatt, "These wolf carcasses are yours to handle according to regulations, but the skulls and pelts need to be registered at our office."

"I'll give you tags. It's procedure, you understand."

"No problem, Tim, thanks for making the trip." Wyatt breathed a sigh of relief.

Thompson waved his hand, "Just doing my job."

"Honestly, wolf packs have been getting bolder these past few years. You solving the problem legally like this also removes a menace for the community."

"Alright, I'll handle the report. You guys get busy."

The friendly official conclusion made the last trace of doubt weighing on Wyatt's mind disappear completely.

After seeing Thompson off, Wyatt as the host clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention.

"Alright, boys, don't just stand there."

As the ranch owner, Wyatt's voice was loud and powerful.

"Can't waste these things. Strip these pelts, and make sure they're intact."

At this moment, footsteps and children's laughter came from the barn entrance.

Wyatt's two wives, Sarah and Amy, walked in with their sons Jack and Kyle.

The two blonde little boys wore small cowboy overalls and, seeing the wolves on the ground, weren't frightened but instead excitedly widened their eyes.

"Wow! Big doggies!" little Jack pointed at the alpha wolf's carcass, shouting in his childish voice.

"Those aren't doggies, Jack, they're wolves, bad guys. They wanted to eat our calves."

Amy gently corrected him. She was a typical Montana beauty with blonde hair and blue eyes, cheerful in personality.

The other wife, Sarah, appeared more reserved. She brought the men a large pitcher of lemonade.

"You've worked hard, guys. The kids wanted to come see the heroes' trophies."

She said, smiling and nodding at Lin Yu'an.

Wyatt and the other brothers were busy processing the black alpha wolf pelt.

The wolf hit by the shotgun, with the most severely damaged fur, was temporarily set aside.

The two little ones curiously circled the wolf carcass, wanting to touch but not daring to.

Lin Yu'an noticed this. He put down the tool in his hand, smiled and walked over, squatting down to be at eye level with the two children.

"Want to know how to take out its teeth and make them into necklaces?"

The two little boys' eyes instantly lit up, shouting in unison, "Yes! Yes!"

"Then you can be my assistants, okay? First, we need a small knife."

He took a leather-working knife from the toolbox and skillfully cut the edges of the wolf's lips, exposing the complete gum line.

"These are canine teeth, the longest and sharpest, used to deliver fatal blows to enemies. These smaller ones next to them are called carnassials. Don't they look like little scissors?"

He explained in a vivid and interesting way that children could understand. The two little ones listened intently, occasionally letting out sounds of amazement.

"Alright, now comes the crucial moment."

Lin Yu'an picked up small pliers, "I'm going to extract the teeth now. Jack, Kyle, help me hold its mouth open a bit wider."

The two children immediately felt involved, excitedly becoming assistants.

Lin Yu'an gripped the base of the canine tooth with the pliers, gently rocked it left and right, then pulled hard. A complete wolf tooth with some blood threads appeared in his hand.

"Wow!" both children exclaimed simultaneously.

Lin Yu'an cleaned the wolf tooth with cloth, briefly processed it with An’angle grinder from the barn, then drilled a small hole at the root of the tooth and threaded a leather cord through it.

A primitive and powerful-looking wolf tooth necklace was complete.

"One each."

He handed the necklaces to Jack and Kyle.

The two little boys treasured them like precious gifts, immediately asking their mothers to help them put the necklaces on, then ran around the barn showing off their new gifts to their uncles.

"Uncle! Uncle! I want more! Let's make souvenirs from its claws too!"

Little Jack ran back, tugging at Lin Yu'an's pant leg, his eyes full of adoring little stars.

"No problem, my little assistant."

Lin Yu'an smiled and began teaching them how to process wolf claws.

Watching from the side, Wyatt, Garrett, and Bo saw Lin Yu'an patiently and skillfully "working" with the two children, all showing knowing smiles on their faces.

They could tell that Lin Yu'an wasn't just going through the motions, but genuinely liked children.

And he knew how to pass on this most simple wilderness knowledge to the next generation in a safe and interesting way.

Sarah and Amy, seeing their sons bond so quickly with this new "family member," had eyes full of gratitude and approval.

That evening's bonfire feast had an even more harmonious atmosphere than before.

The two little ones, Jack and Kyle, sat on either side of Lin Yu'an, wearing their wolf tooth necklaces and holding meat skewers Lin Yu'an had helped them grill, clearly having become his "little followers."

Garrett took a big gulp of beer and said loudly, "Hermann, I have to admit, I used to think you were just some bookworm from the city."

"But now I see you're not only a good shot, you're also great with kids. I apologize for my previous thoughts."

"No need for that, Garrett. We're family."

Lin Yu'an smiled and raised his glass in response while wiping grease from the corner of Jack's mouth.

Wyatt's cheeks were slightly flushed from drinking, and feeling inspired, he looked at his sons and said to them.

"Speaking of hunting, I remember my first time hunting with your grandfather when I was about your age..."

...

Laughter and storytelling rose and fell around the bonfire.

Lin Yu'an listened to the brothers' "embarrassing stories" while occasionally responding to the chattering questions from the two little ones beside him.

Looking at their innocent and adoring eyes, he felt an unprecedented sense of security and warmth in his heart.

Winning a family's recognition sometimes doesn't require earth-shattering feats. Perhaps simply making small wolf tooth necklaces for children is enough.

When he returned to the McKinley family's frontier ranch, Lin Yu'an sent the wolf hunting video footage to Old Cat, instructing him to edit out some potentially controversial content.

Old Cat and his team worked almost overnight to review and edit when they received this material.

When they saw Lin Yu'An’and the McKinley brothers engage in tactical hunting against a cunning wolf pack in the evening pasture, comparable to a Hollywood blockbuster, the entire team was filled with extreme shock and excitement.

"This isn't just a survival challenge anymore, this is real modern wilderness warfare!"

Leon, the editor, was emotionally stirred watching the panoramic drone footage of the wolf pack splitting into three groups.

Old Cat thought and said, "This video will be another important upgrade to Brother An's character! But Brother An killing the female wolf first might be a risk point."

"Leon, when editing, make sure to highlight the calf killed by the wolf pack, and Brother An's tactical deployment, as well as the wolves' cunning and tactics."

"We must make viewers understand that Brother An's killing this time was to protect family and calves! Avoid negative public opinion from sanctimonious critics!"

After two days of intensive post-production, a nearly twenty-minute video with an impactful title was officially released on Lin Yu'an's Bilibili account.

"Protecting Ranch Cattle, Fighting Wolf Pack Alongside Family!"

Once the video was released, Bilibili's official platform again gave it top-level traffic recommendations, and millions of fans flooded into the video page like a tide.

And the video content completely lived up to their expectations!

Lin Yu'an's calm professional tactical analysis, ambush arrangements, to the wolf pack's diversionary tactics and cunning three-way split...

Every frame was filled with cinematic quality and breathtaking realism!

Especially when the battle reached a stalemate and Lin Yu'an turned to kill the female wolf with one shot, ultimately reversing the situation, the entire comment section exploded!

[Holy shit!!!!!!!!]

[That shot... so freaking cool! Flipped the wolf right over!]

[Brother An's gun is so cool! Looks like the rifle among rifles, Winchester M70!]

[Disgusting! Why shoot the female wolf first? Why not kill the male wolf first?]

[Wolves are cute like doggies, why kill them? How could you bear it! Sisters, let's report this!]

[This is real cultural export! Calm, steady, hardworking, responsible! This is what a good Chinese man looks like!]

Old Cat continuously monitored public opinion. Fortunately, it was still within controllable range, and he formulated a plan to minimize traffic push to sisters under 30 years old.
