Chapter 1012

Upon hearing Wang An's promise, Wang Li's face was immediately filled with smiles, and he said:

"Yeah, I know this thing is strictly checked now. I'll learn it first and then talk about it. It will be useful sooner or later, hehehehe."

Looking at Wang Li's cheap-looking appearance, Wang An was truly too lazy to talk about him.

The main thing is that Li Xiuyu is a really good girl, and Li Xiuyu's family is not the kind of people who are greedy and insatiable.

So although Wang Li is a bit too simping for Li Xiuyu, this is nothing more than a matter between the young couple. Wang An can just give a few pointers; saying too much will instead make people annoyed, or even make people hate him.

The two were talking while walking into the vegetable garden behind Wang Li's house.

Just as the two were picking ripe muskmelons, Wang Li suddenly patted his head and said mysteriously:

"Oh, day after day, I almost forgot. Fourth Brother, do you know what Xiuyu came to find me for?"

Wang An rolled his eyes at Wang Li and said with annoyance:

"Are you sick? What she came to find you for, how the hell would I know?"

Wang An finally knew why the four words "beauty is a disaster" appeared.

Because the people who say this must be people like Wang Li who are irrational, or have poor self-control and are easily addicted to female beauty.

To put it bluntly, it's that they are useless themselves, but they blame the mistake on a beautiful woman, and finally come up with a sentence: because this woman is too beautiful, this led to how it happened!

I have to say, the person who says this is truly disgusting.

Seeing that Wang An's tone was not good, Wang Li didn't pretend to be mysterious anymore and said directly to Wang An:

"Xiuyu came to tell me that her eldest brother saw a herd of sika deer in the mountains."

Upon hearing the words "herd of deer," Wang An immediately became energetic and hurriedly asked:

"About how many are there? Did he say where they are?"

Wang An's enthusiasm for raising deer is very high right now; the main thing is that deer are truly incredibly valuable. There is nothing on a deer that isn't valuable.

And so far, Wang An has discovered that no matter what you raise, it's not as cost-effective as raising deer. The most critical thing is that deer are also very easy to raise; just raise them like raising mules and horses.

Wang Li immediately answered:

"There is a salt-alkali land at the 16th ridge on the southwest side. He saw them at that salt-alkali land. He said there are more than 30 of them, which counts as a large herd, and there are big stags inside."

Upon hearing this, Wang An carefully thought about the terrain and landforms of that area, mainly the vegetation nearby, and then continued to ask anxiously:

"This is the time before the stags return to the herd; there must be big stags in the herd. Did he shoot?"

The reason Wang An is so concerned about this question is that sika deer are different from other animals.

If you shoot as soon as you see the herd, as long as any deer is shot dead on the spot, the remaining deer will immediately flee far away and will not appear in this vicinity in the future.

Simply put, this herd of deer will disappear from this vicinity from now on and will not return to this salt-alkali land to lick salt.

The saying "Deer have a thousand-year lifespan, every step is full of worry" is not nonsense at all.

After Wang An finished asking, Wang Li immediately shook his head:

"No, I heard Xiuyu say that my brother-in-law—no, it's Xiuyu's brother—just aimed twice. His marksmanship is not good, and he felt he wasn't sure, so he didn't dare to shoot."

Upon hearing this, Wang An immediately laughed happily.

Because as long as the herd is not startled, these deer that are mating will not go too far, and Wang An will still have a chance to take action.

As for Wang Li's slip of the tongue saying "brother-in-law," Wang An didn't take it to heart at all. Wang Li and Li Xiuyu are already engaged; it's no problem for Wang Li to call Li Dashan brother-in-law.

Thinking for a moment, Wang An couldn't help but mutter:

"I don't know if Xueli has learned how to set traps from Old Xiao Pao. No, I feel that setting traps alone is not very certain. I have to think of some other way. That's more than 30 deer; I can't just stop after catching a few."

Seeing Wang An muttering endlessly, Wang Li couldn't help but offer an idea:

"Fourth Brother, why don't we go find Old Uncle? And see if he has any good methods?"

Upon hearing this, Wang An's eyes lit up. Old mountain hands like Feng Chengmin know quite a lot.

Although Feng Chengmin hadn't taught Wang An how to catch sika deer, and hadn't heard of Feng Chengmin catching live sika deer himself, maybe he really was hiding his skills.

Even if Feng Chengmin didn't know, having one more person adds one more bit of strength. You have to know that's more than 30 sika deer; it's simply not something two or three people can solve.

But if it were someone else, Wang An truly wouldn't trust them.

Thinking for a moment, Wang An said:

"Yeah, there's no time to lose. He shouldn't have anything to do right now, right? I'll go to his house and see."

As he spoke, Wang An picked up the small basket containing muskmelons and stood up to leave. After walking two steps, Wang An turned back and asked Wang Li:

"Are you going?"

Just after finishing, Wang An denied it:

"You don't go; just stay at home and accompany Xiuyu."

Subsequently, Wang An didn't pay attention to Wang Li anymore and turned around to walk home with big strides.

When Wang An arrived home, Li Xiuyu was chatting with Mu Xueqing. Wang An put the basket in front of Mu Xueqing and said:

"I'm going to Old Uncle's place; I'll be back in a while."

Turning his head, Wang An said to Li Xiuyu again:

"Xiuyu, eat some muskmelon."

After greeting, Wang An ran to the west room, took a gold cake, and rode the sidecar to Linjia Village.

In less than ten minutes, Wang An's sidecar drove into the courtyard of Feng Chengmin's house.

At this time, Feng Chengmin and his wife were also drying mushrooms.

And not far from the couple, a brand new walking tractor was parked in the courtyard.

It was very obvious that this tractor hadn't been driven back for long.

This season is exactly the time for picking mushrooms and digging wild vegetables, so every household is basically busy with these.

The main thing is that in the local area, the winter time is particularly long. On the dining table, besides cabbage, potatoes, radishes, and sauerkraut, the most important dishes are dried wild vegetables and dried mushrooms.

If you don't dry a large amount of mushrooms and wild vegetables at this time, then when the deep winter comes, there will be nothing to eat.

Seeing the sidecar stop in front, Feng Chengmin said very surprised:

"Oh, when did you get another sidecar?"

Wang An first greeted Old Aunt Wang Yulian, and then smiled and said to Feng Chengmin:

"I got it a long time ago, just haven't ridden it over, hehehehe."

Feng Chengmin stood up, rubbed his hands, and then began to look around the sidecar. While looking, he smacked his lips and said:

"This thing is good; this thing is really quite good."

Thanks to "Empire Emperor" for the reward, thank you, thank you!

Wish you, big brother, a smooth journey and everything goes well!
