Chapter 1026

Wang An was stunned upon hearing this and was just about to speak when Wang Li said with a cheeky grin:

"Yeah, Fourth Brother, actually I think so too. Like the saying goes, I'm just a dung beetle following a fart—whatever you do, I'll do. It definitely won't be wrong."

As soon as Wang Li's voice fell, Wang An, Feng Chengmin, and Mu Xueli were instantly stunned, and then Feng Chengmin and Mu Xueli burst into loud laughter.

Only Wang An didn't laugh; he reached out and slapped Wang Li, then glared with wide eyes and questioned:

"What kind of nonsense is 'a dung beetle following a fart'? Who are you calling a fart?"

After saying this, Wang An felt it wasn't enough to vent his anger, so he kicked Wang Li in the butt with a "Bang!"

Every single day, he uses words blindly without knowing how to use them.

But Feng Chengmin and Mu Xueli's laughter grew even louder.

Wang Li rubbed his butt and said with a firm face:

"That was just an analogy. Anyway, I'm just going to follow you and learn from you."

Wang An pointed at Wang Li with a huff and said:

"You can learn from me, but don't make blind analogies in the future. If you dare to make another analogy, I'll hit you."

Wang Li didn't care and said with a grin:

"Yeah, Fourth Brother, I'll never make analogies again."

Just like that, all 41 sika deer were completely distributed. The only thing that made Wang An feel annoyed was that he wanted to buy sika deer, but these three people wouldn't sell to him.

Fortunately, 21 sika deer wasn't too few, and besides, he now had adult male sika deer, so by this time next year, he could at least increase the number by ten or eight.

Besides, the autumn harvest would be here in a few days. After the harvest, it would be time for winter hunting. If he was lucky, he might be able to catch a few more sika deer.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Feng Chengmin, Mu Xueli, and Wang Li said their goodbyes and left.

After seeing them off, Wang An didn't return to the house he shared with Mu Xueqing, but instead went into the room where Wang Dazhu and the others were.

As soon as he entered the room, Wang Dazhu asked:

"Are you done discussing? How many did our family get?"

Wang An and the four others had discussed the distribution plan in the living room of Wang An's house, so Wang Dazhu's couple and Mu Xueqing didn't know the result.

Hearing Wang Dazhu's question, Liu Guilan and Mu Xueqing also turned their gazes toward Wang An.

It was obvious that all three of them were concerned about how many sika deer their family would get.

Wang An sat down on the sofa chair and then said with a smile:

"Our family got 15, the other three families got 8 each, and the remaining 2 went to Xiuyu's older brother."

Liu Guilan said, somewhat dumbfounded:

"Why did our family get so many? Is it appropriate to split it this way?"

Wang Dazhu also frowned and said:

"These three families are all close relatives. Our family getting so many is a bit too much. How about we give them each one more?"

Although Wang Dazhu's couple were a bit stingy in their daily lives, they didn't have any intention of taking advantage of others in their interpersonal dealings.

Of course, this also had a lot to do with the current economic strength of Wang An's family, because most people are like this: when they aren't short of money in their pockets, they don't want to get a reputation for being petty.

Wang An didn't agree with Wang Dazhu's words, but instead recounted the process of the four people's discussion. Wang Dazhu and Liu Guilan then nodded and said nothing more.

The next morning, Feng Chengmin, Mu Xueli, and Wang Li all drove their hand-guided tractors over. They were here to haul the sika deer.

It must be said that three hand-guided tractors gathered at Wang An's house still looked quite impressive.

After a night, the nail wounds on the sika deer's wrists had all healed, and each sika deer had become lively again.

Feng Chengmin looked at the sika deer in the deer shed and said with a smile:

"So many deer, it really makes people envious. Little An, why don't you sell me a few?"

Wang An was stunned upon hearing this and looked at Feng Chengmin in disbelief:

"Old Uncle, what kind of good thing are you thinking of? You wouldn't sell your deer to me, and now you want me to sell mine to you?"

Feng Chengmin laughed somewhat awkwardly:

"I'm just discussing it with you. If you're not selling, forget it."

Wang An glanced at Feng Chengmin and didn't speak.

To be honest, this was only because Feng Chengmin was an elder; otherwise, Wang An would have had to beat him up. Mainly, this was too infuriating.

Among these 41 sika deer, 17 pairs, or 34 deer, were one large with one small. In order for the sika deer to breed successfully in the future, Feng Chengmin and the other two all wanted such deer.

Including the two deer given to Li Xiuyu's older brother, they were also like this.

After all, a mother deer with a cub proved that it was a healthy deer, and the probability of problems occurring in the future was relatively small.

As for the three mother deer without cubs, although they looked normal, the reason why they didn't have cubs was unknown.

Perhaps their cubs had been harmed by other wild beasts, or perhaps they had died of illness. If it were these two reasons, it would be fine, because they still had the possibility of carrying cubs in the future. But if they were inherently infertile, their value would be greatly reduced.

Soon, everyone worked together to tie up the deer belonging to the three of them and load them onto their vehicles. As for the two sika deer given to Li Xiuyu's older brother, they were loaded onto Mu Xueli's vehicle, and he was asked to help haul them back on the way.

Watching the three of them haul the sika deer away, Wang An's heart still ached a little, but since they wouldn't sell, there was really nothing he could do.

After seeing them off, Wang An rode his horse and took the 4 eagles out to the nearby mountains.

He had been guarding the sika deer herd in the mountains for the past few days, and Wang An needed to deepen the eagles' execution of his commands.

There was no other way; after humans learn something, they forget it if they don't consolidate it for a long time. Eagles are even more so, mainly because these four eagles were not yet adults and had to be taken out for training frequently.

Eagles, especially golden eagles, because of their large size, cannot exert much power in dense forests.

So Wang An took them to a place with sparse vegetation.

After wandering around for a while, Wang An saw a few small dots moving on the mountainside in the distance. Based on their size, they should be a few mother pheasants or something similar.

Therefore, Wang An pointed at the black dots and said to Da Jin and Xiao Jin:

"Da Jin, Xiao Jin, go!"

As soon as his voice fell, Da Jin and Xiao Jin flew out like two arrows.

Wang An looked closely and saw that the two pheasants in the distance had just taken flight when they were caught by Da Jin and Xiao Jin respectively.

It must be said that golden eagles hunting pheasants is really too easy.

When Da Jin and Xiao Jin brought the two pheasants to Wang An, the two pheasants were still alive.

Wang An didn't kill the two pheasants, but tied them up and hung them on the horse's back.
