Chapter 105

At this time, the place where Wang An stood was at the edge of a hollow.

If he walked another ten-plus meters forward, he would start entering the hollow.

Looking ahead, the entire hollow was like a big pit in the mountains, only the area of this big pit was a bit too big!

In the middle of this hollow was a huge circular deep pit washed out by rainwater!

But calling it a pit isn't accurate, because the north side of this pit is the water outlet; the whole pit is equivalent to a basin with a broken side wall.

And right in this pit, it was full of snow; he didn't know how deep the snow was, but at least there were over a hundred and twenty or thirty gazelles trapped inside; some were already dead, and more were struggling!

Struggling was also futile, because the depth of the snow far exceeded the height of the sheep!

Ten-plus meters away from the water outlet of this pit, there were a dozen wolves wandering back and forth, which made those dozen gazelles at the water outlet of the pit not dare to come out of the snow pit at all!

Further away, there were twenty-plus wolves eating gazelles; several wolves were surrounding one sheep and eating, eating very harmoniously!

Seeing this scene, Wang An couldn't recover at all; this pack of wolves was truly too smart!

With less than forty wolves, they could do hunting to such an extent; it was truly awesome!

Wang An and Mu Xueli's current position was already deep in the mountains; according to the walking time calculation, they must be over a hundred and fifty or sixty li away from Kaoshan Village!

This place was already a place where hunters near Kaoshan Village rarely came!

Even those who came here were either clearing dens, trapping big pelts, or hunting tiger cubs!

They would take away valuable things like pelts or gallbladders, and generally throw away the meat, because there were no large livestock like horses or mules, and this meat couldn't be transported out!

Mu Xueli finally soothed the big blue horse, tied the horse to a tree, and seeing his brother-in-law standing there motionless, also walked over curiously!

Looking into the distance, he was instantly shocked and speechless!

"Holy shit, holy shit, oh my god, too awesome," after being confused for a long while, Mu Xueli couldn't help but exclaim!

"The two of us will pick up sheep tomorrow; although the wolves are full, it's unlikely they will attack us, but tonight, we must keep our guns in our hands!" Wang An said, looking at that herd of sheep.

"Yeah, brother-in-law, you say these wolves, why are they so fierce? They even know how to chase sheep into snowdrifts and eat them slowly!" Mu Xueli asked in surprise.

"Wolves are naturally very smart, especially wolf packs with a leader; they can even sacrifice their lives!" Wang An said seriously, then told the story of the time he and Feng Chengmin cut trees to fight wolves in the mountains.

After Mu Xueli finished listening, he directly said: "Holy shit, such thick trees, you two cut them down? You guys are truly awesome!"

Wang An was speechless; this brother-in-law's brain definitely had a problem!

With this kind of logic, he always goes off-track, and after going off-track, he doesn't run back; it's worrying!

Wang An rolled his eyes at Mu Xueli unpleasantly and then said: "Stop saying holy shit, hurry up and get firewood; we'll spend the night at that mountain ridge we passed just now! There's a cave there!"

"Hey, okay, brother-in-law," Mu Xueli agreed with a smile and took out the board axe.

The two, one cutting and one picking, soon filled the two sleds with firewood.

When they reached that cave, it was already completely dark, and the two hurriedly started a fire outside the cave entrance.

After starting the fire, they fed the horses fodder; spending the night in the mountains, fire is the guarantee of life safety!

Almost all wild beasts are afraid of fire, and some even flee far away as soon as they see the firelight from afar.

Moreover, although the temperature in the mountains is very low during the day, in the middle of the night, the temperature will be even lower; minus forty degrees is quite common!

So without fire, at this temperature, freezing to death is the simplest thing!

Continue skinning the hares and feeding the dogs; of course, this work was still done by Mu Xueli.

Wang An was still chopping meat; he chopped the four legs of the little yellow-haired one, and one pot was just enough to stew it; actually, it wasn't that the pot was big, but the gazelle legs were small, each weighing only 3 jin!

After stewing the meat and heating the pancakes, Wang An tied the remaining two gazelle legs to tree branches and roasted them too.

After they thawed, he made many cuts on the gazelle legs with the hunting knife, continued roasting, and after the blood water flowed out, he rubbed salt and sprinkled chili powder, and continued roasting near the fire!

This thing cooks too slowly; after Mu Xueli finished feeding the dogs, Wang An handed all the branches to him to hold.

His brother-in-law said he wanted to roast the gazelle legs; if he didn't satisfy him, wouldn't he be a brother-in-law who didn't care?

Wang An took a torch and went into the cave to check; in the deepest part of the cave, there were several reed mats and a large pile of firewood, proving that people who had entered the mountains had lived in this cave before.

He took the torch and looked around carefully; only a mouse saw the firelight and scrambled into a mouse hole in a panic!

A cave where mice can survive basically has no problems with safety!

After simply cleaning up, he dragged the reed mats to the cave entrance, and they could sleep on them at night.

Never burn a fire inside the cave; it's easy to choke people to death inside!

Wang An took out the wine, and each drank a few mouthfuls; they still didn't dare drink too much; in the middle of the night, drinking too much makes it easy to sleep too soundly, which is too dangerous!

The two were eating meat happily when the three dogs started barking, but it wasn't frantic barking; it should have been something passing by; the two didn't care and continued eating.

"Brother-in-law, how many gazelles are we pulling back tomorrow?" Mu Xueli asked.

"Pull back as many as we can," Wang An answered casually.

"Will those wolves agree?" Mu Xueli continued to ask.

"During the day, the wolves are full, so it's unlikely they will guard there, but tomorrow, besides fighting wolves, we might have to fight other things," Wang An said with a serious expression.

This trip into the mountains to pick up gazelles was truly a bit rash!

Although they had guns in their hands and a big 54 in their pockets, they really didn't expect there to be so many wolves!

And this whole afternoon on the road, it was also very wrong; although he was mentally prepared after seeing the marks!

But when they really encountered it, it was completely different from what he imagined; to be honest, Wang An also felt a bit unsure in his heart!

But Wang An definitely wouldn't show it; he was the backbone; if he flinched or was afraid, his brother-in-law might just be finished!

Looking at the gravity on Wang An's face, Mu Xueli felt even more that these gazelles were a bit hot to handle! But he didn't say any discouraging words!

18 years old, it's the age where heaven is the boss, earth is the second, and he is the third; just do it, being afraid is useless!

What Wang An didn't notice was that ever since that time they fought the big bear, Mu Xueli hadn't fired a single shot but had split so much money and goods, his brother-in-law had already become much, much stronger than before!

Actually, one could see Mu Xueli's transformation from fighting the mother and two little black bears; it's just that Wang An hadn't thought in that direction at all!

But it was precisely because the two didn't retreat that this harvest was much more than usual!

The situation this night was very bad; the three dogs would bark from time to time, making the two not dare to sleep at the same time, taking turns watching the fire!

Fortunately, nothing shitty happened all night!

Early the next morning, the two didn't rush to the snow pit; after eating and drinking, they waited until the sun had completely risen before driving the sled to kill them.

Because only at this time would those fierce beasts that come out at night return to their nests, so the safety would be a little higher!

Still at the same position as yesterday, they called out to the stallion from far away; looking down from here, the view was very open.

They saw the snow pit exit guarded by a dozen wolves, and it was already lively; a brown bear was fighting with a dozen wolves!
