Looking for fish along the wood, what happened to the wolf is ridiculous!

It was already dusk when a butcher came back. A wolf came and looked at the meat. He seemed to be drooling and followed it for miles step by step. Sudden fear shows that it is a blade, but not as good as it is; Go follow it. Without a slaughter plan, people who meditate on the meat that wolves want might as well hang trees and eat fleas. Then hook up the meat and hang it between the trees, showing that it is empty. The wolf is the only one. Killing means going home. I went to get the meat and looked at the giant hanging on the tree in the distance, like a person hanging dead. Wandering around myopia is a dead wolf. Looking up carefully, I saw that the wolf had meat in his mouth, and the meat hook stabbed the wolf's jaw, like a fish swallowing bait. When the price of wolf skin is more than ten gold, it is painted with jade.
It is ridiculous to ask for fish from the wood, and the wolf will suffer.

Once upon a time, a butcher returned from selling meat. It is getting late. Just then, a wolf suddenly appeared. The wolf has been peeping at the butcher's meat, and the saliva in his mouth seems to be coming out, so he followed the butcher for several miles. The butcher felt very scared and waved a butcher knife in front of the wolf to scare the wolf away. When the wolf saw the butcher's knife, he was afraid at first and retreated a few steps, but when the butcher turned and walked on, the wolf followed. So the butcher thought, what the wolf wants is the meat in the burden. It is better to hang the meat on the tree and pick it up tomorrow morning. So the butcher hung the meat on the hook, stood on tiptoe and hung the meat on the tree, and then showed the wolf the empty burden. In this way, the wolf stopped following the butcher. The butcher went home. At dawn the next day, the butcher went to get the meat. From a distance, he saw a huge thing hanging on a tree, just like a person hanging on a tree, so he felt very scared. I wandered around anxiously trying to get close to the tree. When I got closer, it turned out to be a dead wolf. The butcher looked up carefully and found that the wolf had meat in his mouth. The hook for hanging meat had pierced the wolf's upper jaw and was shaped like a fish biting the hook. At that time, wolf skins were very expensive in the market, and a wolf skin was worth a dozen taels of silver. So the butcher got this wolf skin and made a small fortune. Looking for fish along the wood, what happened to the wolf is ridiculous!
