Chapter 1030
The reason why it is said to be jumping over the wall is because at night, the gates of local people's houses are locked from the inside.
And the wall of Wang An's new courtyard is relatively high, exactly two meters.
Such a courtyard wall, dogs cannot jump out, but for lynxes, climbing over such a high courtyard wall is no different from walking on flat ground.
Of course, the two lynxes did not come back empty-handed. No, to be precise, it should be said that they did not come back empty-mouthed.
The flashlight beam swept over, and Wang An saw that these two lynxes were each carrying a weasel in their mouths.
It was obvious that some weasels had escaped, and then these two lynxes went to chase them.
For a feline animal like a lynx that has night vision, hunting at night and hunting during the day are the same, there is no difference at all.
Da Mao had a weasel in its mouth, while Xiao Mao had two weasels in its mouth.
As for the names Da Mao and Xiao Mao, they were given to them by the sisters Wang Xiaomei and Wang Xiaoli.
Before, they were called Da Mi and Xiao Mi, but later, I don't know why, these two little girls changed their names again.
Of course, no one in the family cares about this. Whatever they want to call them, it's not a big deal.
However, Wang An saw at a glance that the weasel in Da Mao's mouth was different from the weasels in the courtyard.
Mainly because this weasel's body was very large, more than twice the size of a normal weasel.
Seeing Wang An and Wang Dazhu standing in front of the chicken coop, Da Mao and Xiao Mao walked straight over and placed the weasels they were carrying in their mouths in front of the two people.
Subconsciously, Wang Dazhu shone the flashlight over, and immediately after, he only heard Wang Dazhu exclaim:
"Damn it, why is this weasel so big? I've lived for so many years, and I've never seen such a big weasel."
Wang An had just noticed this point, so his eyes had been staring at this weasel.
Wang Dazhu bent down, grabbed the weasel's tail, and lifted it up, continuing to say:
"This must weigh about 5 jin. Is this weasel about to become a spirit?"
To be honest, Wang An was also shocked, nodded in agreement, and said:
"Yeah, this weasel is really big, almost catching up to a fox. I don't know how much such a big weasel skin can be worth."
After looking at this extraordinary weasel for a while, Wang An moved the flashlight beam away and looked at the other two weasels, which were the two that Xiao Mao was carrying before.
However, what surprised Wang An was that these two weasels were also different from normal weasels.
Because not only was the fur of these two weasels loose, but the hair on their backs and their whiskers had already turned white.
It was obvious that these were two very old weasels.
"Dad, look at these two weasels, they must be quite old."
Weasels have a lifespan of about 20 years, but the actual survival period is not like that. A weasel that can live for 10 years is considered quite long-lived.
Because this thing has many natural enemies, and the survival conditions in the wild are quite harsh, which leads to very few of them living a long life.
Therefore, a weasel that can live until the hair on its back and its whiskers turn white is even rarer.
Hearing Wang An's words, Wang Dazhu turned his head and looked at these two old weasels.
After looking, Wang Dazhu smacked his lips and said:
"These two old guys have lived for quite a few years."
Wang An looked at the two lynxes squatting on the side and said:
"Dad, do you think our two lynxes went directly to the weasels' nest?"
Wang Dazhu was stunned upon hearing this, and looked at the two lynxes with a puzzled face and said:
"Yeah, it might really be the case."
After a pause, Wang Dazhu muttered again:
"These two little things are really fierce!"
After the father and son packed all the weasel corpses into a basket, Wang Dazhu intended to peel off the weasel skins directly. Wang An persuaded Wang Dazhu:
"Dad, let's wash our hands and go back to the room to sleep. It's not too late to deal with these things early tomorrow morning."
Who knew Wang Dazhu shook his head and said:
"This thing has a very strong smell. If it's left until tomorrow, the whole courtyard will be full of stinky smell. You go back to the room to sleep. I'm not sleepy. By the way, light the horse lamp for me. If the flashlight is always on like this, it will run out of power in a while."
Wang An looked at Wang Dazhu helplessly, really not knowing what to say.
However, Wang An still obediently went to light the horse lamp.
Looking at the faint light emitted by the lit horse lamp, and the flashlight that can only see objects where it shines, Wang An decided to buy more wires and light bulbs tomorrow and connect lights to every place in the courtyard.
Places like warehouses, sheds, pig pens, deer sheds, toilets, etc., must all be connected to electric lights, so as not to have to take a flashlight when going out at night.
After hanging the horse lamp, Wang An intended to work with Wang Dazhu to peel the weasel corpses.
Mainly because the old father was working, but the son ran into the room to sleep... No matter how you look at it, this is a bit unreasonable.
Just as Wang An squatted down with the knife, he heard Wang Dazhu order:
"Look at what you're wearing. You don't need to help. You go back to the room to sleep."
Seeing Wang Dazhu's serious face, Wang An said with a grin:
"Then can you do it yourself? How long will it take you to finish all these?"
Wang Dazhu rolled his eyes at Wang An and said:
"I'm just afraid there are too few. If you give me a tractor bucket full, I can finish it even if I don't sleep all night. Do you believe it?"
Wang An blinked his eyes upon hearing this, and said speechlessly:
"A bucket full? Where am I going to get that for you?"
It must be said that if there really was a bucket full of weasels, it would definitely be a fortune, a big fortune.
Wang Dazhu didn't even raise his head, and said in a rather unkind tone:
"Alright, stop nagging me here, go back to the room to sleep."
Maybe all fathers in the world are the same. They are worried about their sons, but they have to say it so bluntly.
Wang An sucked his teeth and found that Wang Dazhu was peeling the weasels quite fast. These weasels would probably be finished in half an hour at most, so he stood up and said:
"Then I'm going to sleep."
Wang Dazhu just said "Yeah" and continued to work with his head down.
When Wang An washed his hands and entered the room, Mu Xueqing was not only not awake, but sleeping quite soundly. Wang An quietly got on the kang, pulled the quilt, and closed his eyes.
The night passed without a word, and in the blink of an eye, it was dawn.
When Wang An washed his face and brushed his teeth and went to Wang Dazhu's room for breakfast, he found that there was actually a basin of meat soaking in the big basin next to the stove.
Because Wang An also peeled the weasels yesterday, Wang An recognized at a glance that this was the weasel meat after peeling and removing the head and internal organs.
Therefore, Wang An said to Liu Guilan with a shocked face:
"Mom, can weasel meat be eaten?"
